Shen Yi worked hard on scientific examinations at the beginning, and he did not hesitate to become a question writer. He drowned himself in the sea of books and literature every day. The purpose was to sharpen his head, squeeze into the "scholar" class, and get an official position, so that he could work with Fan. In the process of family confrontation, you can ensure your own safety.
Now, he did it.
He is already a Jinshi of the new science, a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, and an eighth-rank official of the imperial court. As long as the Fan family does not want to rebel and be wiped out, they will never dare to do anything to him, or even to his family members.
But the Chen family is different.
The Chen family is a farmer, at most it can be considered a rich peasant family. This kind of family...
Just one breath from the Fan family can blow their whole family to ashes.
Shen Yi sat in his seat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
At this time, he had to admit that he had underestimated the Fan family a little.
According to his original estimate, as long as he had the evidence of the Fan family's crimes and the arrival of the imperial censor in the capital, the Fan family would not be able to survive even the New Year's Eve, and the land would be completely white and clean.
Unexpectedly, the Fan family survived this first wave of offensive, and their hands and eyes were so powerful that they sent back the censor from the capital!
After Shen Yi took a sip of tea, he glanced at Fan Lian lightly.
"Fourth Master Fan wants to threaten me with the Chen family?"
Fan Lian kept his smile and lowered his head and said: "How dare you? Fan has never said such a thing. I, the Fan family, abide by the law and will not do such a thing."
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Yi glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Chen Qing of the Chen family is gone. Now there is only a couple and a son and a daughter left. There are only four people. Your servants of the Fan family can kill seven people in a family." , if you can, take all four lives."
Shen Yi raised his neck slightly and said calmly: "Fourth Master Fan doesn't think that Shen will be hindered by this farmer's home?"
Fan Lian frowned.
He looked at Shen Yi's expression and felt a little confused.
It stands to reason that Shen Yi is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. At his current age, it is the time to value friendship and loyalty. This can be seen from Shen Yi's retrial of Chen Qing's case.
But now, Shen Yi's expression...is a little more arrogant and...disdainful?
Seeing Fan Lian looking at him, Shen Yi sneered: "Four Master Fan, you may have just come back from abroad. You don't know how the relationship between Shen and Fan Dongcheng was forged. After the four of them beat Chen Qing to death, , pulled me over and gave me a beating, and then blamed Chen Qing’s death on my head.”
Shen Yi pointed to his nose and said coldly: "Shen Shen almost died in the county jail."
"This is the hatred between our two families."
"As for Chen Qing's family..."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "If you want to do something to their house, just do it to your heart's content. Shen will watch quietly."
"Watch you add another sin."
"Look at your Fan family, how doomed it is!"
Some cold sweat broke out on Fan Lian's forehead.
He had indeed just returned from overseas.
There are five brothers in the first generation of the Fan family. Fan Shilang is the youngest and the only official in this generation of the Fan family. The eldest fan of the Fan family, Fan Qian, also known as Mr. Fan, is responsible for sitting in Zhenjiang. Du, manage the Fan family clan well.
As for the Fan family's business in other places, Fourth Master Fan is taking care of most of it. Now that something happened to the Fan family, Fan Lian hurried back to Jiangdu.
"Misunderstand…"
Fan Lian lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen has misunderstood. Fan came here today to resolve the misunderstanding with Mr. Shen. As long as Mr. Shen sets the conditions, the Fan family will do their best to achieve it."
"Shilang Fan was originally the Shilang of the Ministry of Justice."
Shen Yi smiled faintly: "Even if he has suffered some setbacks now, he is still an inspector of a province and half a feudal official. And Shen is just an eighth-grade official without any real power and a new scholar. Fourth Master Fan will not I am so naive that I, an eighth-grade official, can touch the Fan family?"
What Shen Yi meant by this was that it was not him, Shen Yi, who wanted to touch the Fan family, but Ganquan Academy who wanted to touch them.
Seeing that Fan Lian was silent, Shen Yi said calmly: "Fourth Master Fan, I admit that I have underestimated Jiangdu Fan family, but Fan family wants to get out of the quagmire at this time, so it is useless to come to me."
"If you have time, why not go to the academy and donate some courtyards? It might be more useful."
After that, Shen Yi stopped talking to Fan Lian.
Fourth Master Fan sat in his seat, and after being silent for a long time, he stood up silently, raised his hands to Shen Yi and said: "Mr. Shen, Fan really doesn't know much about the cause and effect back then. After Fan went back and asked in detail, he came to visit Shen Yi again. master."
Shen Yi slowly stood up and stretched out: "I'll see Fourth Master Fan off."
"Don't dare."
Fan Lian turned around in a hurry and left the Shen family in large strides.
Shen Yi followed him and sent him out silently. After seeing Fan Lian get into a carriage and drive away, he stepped onto the street and looked around.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao!"
He called a few times.
No one answered him.
After a while, a big man stood behind Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, we are only responsible for protecting your safety and cannot help you with anything."
"I don't want you to do anything."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Just checking to see if you are here."
He said: "Brother Zhao, if someone is staring at me, can you help me remove these eyeliners?"
Captain Zhao smiled confidently: "Don't worry, we are here, no one can follow you, Master."
Shen Yi nodded, immediately went to his backyard, and took out the horse given to him by his uncle Shen Hui. After getting on the horse, he looked at Zhao Ge and asked: "Brother Zhao, can you keep up with me when I ride a horse?"
Zhao Ge smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Shen can't fly, we can follow him."
Shen Yi nodded and pulled the reins.
The horses were galloping in Jiangdu City, and soon they ran all the way out of the city and arrived at Chenjia Village outside the city.
Shen Yi had been to Chenjiacun before, so he knew the way. He quickly arrived at the gate of Chenjia's fence, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, Chen Qing's mother opened the courtyard door and welcomed him in.
After Shen Yi entered the house, he took a deep breath and immediately said to Chen's mother: "Is Uncle Chen here?"
Mother Chen shook her head: "The head of the house is not here, he went to the fields to look at the crops."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Auntie, take me there."
"Believe me!"
Mother Chen hesitated.
She looked at Shen Yi with a timid expression: "You...what are you going to do?"
"In a hurry."
Shen Yi whispered: "Auntie, I am Chen Qing's good friend, you believe me!"
"Your son's name is Chen Yan. He got it from the private school teacher in the village. It means He Qing Haiyan, right?"
"Your daughter's name is Chen Youniang, am I right?"
"This is what Chen Qing told me in the academy!"
Mentioning Chen Qing, Chen's mother's eyes suddenly turned red. She nodded and took Shen Yi to the field, where she found Chen's father who was looking at the crops in a crop field.
Chen's father's name was Chen Heizi, because he was born dark-skinned, but he was very good at farming and farming, and gradually managed the Chen family into a wealthy family in the village.
After meeting Chen Heizi, Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Chen, I want to take Chen Yan out to study."
He whispered: "Go to Ganquan Academy to study, the best academy in Jiangdu!"
Father Chen was a little stunned.
He looked at Shen Yi with doubt in his eyes: "Mr. Shen, I don't know how much hard work Qing'er put into before entering Ganquan Academy. My youngest son is still in elementary school, so he can enter the academy?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not possible to enter directly, but I can let him live in the academy temporarily and let the teachers in the academy teach him..."
"I can let him live there for three years."
"After three years, he will catch up with his knowledge, so he can naturally enter the academy."
Chen Heizi was a somewhat shrewd farmer. He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Why?"
Shen Yi sighed softly.
"After Chen Yan goes to the academy, the academy can guarantee his safety."
"When he is safe, your family will be safe."
Chen Heizi snorted: "My Qing'er died in the academy!"
Shen Yi shook his head slowly.
"In the future, this kind of thing will never happen again."
