On one side of the court, the punishment department was being reorganized and was in full swing. On the other side, Mr. Shen took a few days off and was quietly watching the situation in the court at home.
Finally, on the third day after Xu Fu was taken to prison, Fan You, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, took the initiative to write a letter pleading guilty.
In the memorial written by Fan Shilang to plead guilty, he said that he saw the Zhou family and his son, the former owners of Huangshi Zhai, crying on the roadside, so he went up to ask about the reason. After asking, the Zhou family and his son claimed that someone had occupied their shop, and that Jiankang The government not only ignored it, but also protected the evildoers.
Fan Shilang couldn't stand it, so he asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to file a case against the Zhou family and his son. Who knew that other people in the Ministry of Punishment would get the wrong idea and go directly to Huangshizhai to take the person over and have him punished.
It was not until later that Fan Shilang found out the truth and learned that Huang Shizhai was a normal business. He regretted it so much that he wrote to the court to plead guilty to dereliction of duty and false belief.
Now, Zhongshu Sheng has accepted his memorial and is deciding how to deal with it.
Shen Yi, who was at home, also learned of Fan Shilang's apology letter through Zhao Changping for the first time.
Master Shen sneered in his heart.
If Xu Fu is really just Gao Ming's nephew, and if this matter is only about Huang Shizhai, then there is a high probability that Fan Shilang's memorial can be passed through. Not only will he not be convicted, but he may not even be punished.
But this matter is essentially about another group of people taking action against Shen Yi, the Chief Reporter of the Diocese. They want to attack Shen Yi and take away Shen Yi's position as Chief of the Diplomatic Reporter.
Coupled with the previous incident at Jiming Temple...
More importantly, His Majesty the Emperor is now unhappy with the Zhao clan. When General Zhao Lu is about to return to Jiankang, the Emperor needs to express his dissatisfaction in some way.
The only civil servants who had close contacts with the Zhao clan were the Fan family.
Therefore, Fan Shilang probably won't be able to escape easily this time.
Even if there is no way to press him to death at once, at least let him shed a layer of skin.
After all, this time is definitely not just a matter of Huang Shizhai, the internal guards are already secretly investigating this Minister Fan.
However, how this matter will develop will ultimately depend on what His Majesty the Emperor in the palace has in mind.
After resting at home for two days, the wound was treated by Doctor Sun. Xu Fu has improved a lot now. Apart from being unable to move too much to prevent the wound from opening, there is nothing serious.
This morning, after Shen Yi read half of the book in the study, he went to visit Xu Fu in his room as usual. At this time, Xu Fu had already gotten out of bed, and with Xu Xiaomei's support, he was slowly moving around in the yard.
Although the injuries on his body looked scary, the people in the Punishment Department were all veterans among veterans, so although Xu Fu was in pain when he was struck, they were actually superficial injuries and he recovered quickly.
After seeing Shen Yi, Xu Fu lowered his head slightly and said, "Young Master."
"I was just going to find you."
Shen Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that he has recovered well, what do you want from me?"
Xu Fu lowered his head again and said: "Master, the injuries on my body are no longer serious, so I won't live with you anymore. It's inconvenient to live here."
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely: "It's not a problem."
He knew what Xu Fu was talking about.
Nowadays, many people in Jiankang City know that he is Gao Ming's nephew, so even if Xu Fu does not work in the court, he is still a serious "eunuch".
Of course, Da Chen does not have the term eunuch at this time, but after all, he is the eunuch's nephew, and his reputation is not very good.
Xu Fu himself didn't care about reputation, but he was afraid that it would affect Shen Yi's reputation, so he asked to move out.
Shen Yi sighed: "Stay a few more days, and when the injury is healed, it won't be too late to leave."
"It's safer to stay here with me."
Xu Fu smiled at Shen Yi: "Sir, although I don't have much experience, I have spent some time in Jiankang and I know how powerful Eunuch Gao is."
He lowered his head slightly and said, "Now, no one should dare to harm me."
He looked respectful and said: "However, it is not very good to spread the reputation. I have thought about it these past two days. If anything happens in the future, I will ask Ding Man to come to the young master..."
Having said this, he paused, lowered his head and said, "But don't worry, sir, no matter what time or status Xu Fu is, he will always obey your orders..."
"No matter what business we do from now on, it will always be half of the business with the son, and the other half will be divided between the six of us."
This is a somewhat realistic question.
That is, Xu Fu suddenly became the nephew of the current eunuch.
So starting from today, he will be different from the little Xu from before. From today on, he can easily gather a group of people and form his own power easily.
Even if the power is not big, it is still a force after all.
Moreover, from now on, it will be inconvenient for him to communicate openly with Shen Yi.
However, Xiao Xu still has a conscience and knows how to appreciate his kindness, so he said that no matter what he does in the future, he will always be half as good as Shen Yi.
Shen Sizheng was silent for a while, shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't restrain you. Apart from our joint business, if you do other things, you don't have to share the accounts with me."
"No…"
Xu Fu bowed his head respectfully and said: "Without the young master, Xu Fu's life would have been lost long ago. If it weren't for the fear of dragging the young master down, Xu Fu would always serve the young master."
"Everything I have is given by Young Master."
Shen Yi patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe you think so now, but you are too young now and are only passionate. In the future, when you grow up slowly, you will naturally mature and become more mature." I have other thoughts."
"We will indeed meet less often in the future. If you have other ideas or want to go it alone, don't hide it, just tell me directly."
"If we don't do things together anymore, we can still be friends. We must not get into a situation where we are enemies of each other."
Xu Fu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after all, he felt that the words were a bit pale, so he lowered his head silently.
"Young Master will see what Xu Fu has done."
Shen Yi smiled and warned him: "There is one more thing you should pay attention to."
He said slowly: "When you are well in a few days, I will take you to see Eunuch Gao. From today on, whether he recognizes your nephew or not, you must treat him as your uncle."
"On holidays, when you have three birthdays and two birthdays, you must have a gift. If he can let you see him, go see him and kowtow to him."
"Don't be too cold."
Xu Fu nodded without hesitation: "Xu Fu understands."
"As long as I can see him, he is my biological uncle..."
"Um."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Eunuch Gao has no heirs, and he may not have any nephews. I may not be able to treat you as my own son in the future."
…………
After talking to Xu Fu, Shen Yi hired a car and sent him back. After lunch, he went to Liquan Tower to read a book. Not long after he sat down at Liquan Tower, the Zhao family's The second son, Zhao Er, hurried up to Liquan Tower and sat opposite Shen Yi.
He took a deep breath, took a sip of water, and looked at Shen Yi: "Qilang, my old man is looking for you!"
Shen Yi put down the book in his hand in astonishment and asked with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Are you going to the Ministry of Finance?"
"at home."
Zhao Er took another sip of water, smiled at Shen Yi and said, "I guess the old man has been promoted and has left his errands to the people below. He seems to be much more relaxed. He came home in the afternoon and is waiting for you in the study. ."
Shen Yi nodded, with a vague premonition in his heart.
Most likely, Fan Shilang's matter has come to an end, at least in a staged manner.
He stood up, his eyes a little excited.
His investigation into the Fan family in Jiangdu has made some progress. As long as Fan Shilang in the imperial court can fall this time, he can start to attack the Fan family in Jiangdu!
When the time comes, the depression that has accumulated in my chest for two years will be gone!
