The old residence of Shen Yi mentioned by Zhao Ge refers to Shen Yi's home.
Because getting married in Hanlin requires a bit of pomp, Shen Yi's wedding was actually held at the Shen family mansion, that is, the home of his uncle Shen Hui. In comparison, Shen Yi's own home was much smaller.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhang is currently looking for an existing house or land, and is planning to buy a big house or build a new big house by himself.
Hearing that the thief was in his woodshed, Shen Yi turned back without saying a word. After telling Shen Zhang and his newlywed wife that something was urgent, he strode out of the Shen family mansion and headed straight for his own home.
The small yard of Shen Yi's house was also separated from the main house when the family was separated, so the two families were not too far apart, and Shen Yi returned to his home soon.
At this moment, although Shen Yi's home was decorated with lights and hung with red lanterns, it seemed somewhat deserted because no one was home.
Shen Yi has lived in this home for more than ten years, and he already knows the layout of the house very well. After entering the house, he walked straight to the door of his woodshed without stopping. After pushing open the woodshed, he found that someone was tied up in the house.
This man looked to be in his twenties or thirties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a somewhat wretched appearance.
Shen Yi glanced at him silently and found that this person looked familiar. After a while, Shen Yi slowly asked: "Are you...from the Shen family?"
The man's mouth was tied up with a piece of white cloth, and he could only moan and scream, unable to speak.
Shen Yi stepped forward, untied the cloth from the man's mouth, then took two steps back and looked at him silently.
This man was already in tears.
He burst into tears and said: "Seventh Young Master, I am the steward of the Shen family. I was bewitched by others. I was confused for a moment..."
Shen Yi had no expression on his face and said, "How much money did others give you?"
The man cried: "I said I was going to give you one thousand taels of silver, but I only gave you one hundred taels first, saying that I would wait until something was done..."
Having said this, he stopped talking.
Master Shen was furious. He glanced at this guy and said coldly: "Do you know who is looking for you?"
The man cried: "It's the gangster from the east of the city..."
"The villain owed him some money last month..."
After hearing this, Shen Yi stopped listening.
He looked at the steward of the Shen Mansion coldly and said, "You are from uncle's family. I have nothing to say to you. Let uncle's people take care of you!"
Since it was the gangsters in the city who were looking for him, there were actually no traces to trace, let alone any evidence.
But this kind of thing doesn't actually require any evidence.
It's just that the Fan family is desperate. They can't solve the problem, so they want to solve the person who raised the problem.
However, murdering a court official is tantamount to treason. If they dare to do such a thing, they must be very cautious. It is basically impossible to catch anything.
After Shen Yi left the woodshed, he asked Qing'er to find Shen Ling. Shen Ling arrived quickly. After understanding the situation with Shen Yi, the third son of the Shen family opened his eyes angrily and kicked him. He kicked open the door of the woodshed, and then kicked the man in the woodshed hard in the stomach.
"Dogs kill talents!"
Shen Ling was so angry that he trembled all over. He stepped forward and raised his fist and gave the man two more punches. He cursed angrily: "You dare to harm me, the seventh master of the Shen family. You, the third master, have to beat you to death today." No!"
Shen Yi outside the door heard these words and sighed silently: "Third brother, don't beat him to death, otherwise he will leave a trail to others. After a lesson, he will be thrown into the county government. His crime..."
"That's enough."
Shen Ling in the room didn't know if he heard it or not, but he continued to punch and kick the man.
Shen Yi shook his head, walked out of his small yard, and went to talk to his newlywed wife.
The steward of the Shen family dared to take action because there were too many people in the house yesterday, and they had many eyes and ears. Moreover, he had a certain status in the Shen family. No one could secretly put something into the wine. Discover.
If he hadn't been guilty and sneaky, it would have been difficult for the internal guards to detect him.
Besides, at first glance, this person owed Qian Si a gambling debt. People who owe gambling debts can do anything.

After returning to the Shen family mansion, Shen Yi first went to see his father. At this time, Lu Ruoxi had gone back to his room. Shen Zhang was the only one drinking tea. Shen Yi walked over and told Shen Zhang not to go out these days, and asked him to Someone wrote a letter to Shen Heng of Ganquan Academy, asking Shen Heng not to go out recently.
Shen Zhang frowned and asked why. Shen Yi told him about someone trying to drug him yesterday, which shocked Shen Zhang into a cold sweat.
This middle-aged man with a gentle personality, after being frightened for a while, rarely got angry. He stood up and went to find trouble for that person with a dark face and an aggressive tone.
Seeing Shen Zhang striding away, Shen Yi sighed silently and returned to his room.
At this moment, the new daughter-in-law, Lu Ruoxi, was sitting by the bed and resting.
Seeing Shen Yi push the door open and come in, she stood up and asked: "Master...husband, what happened?"
Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed and told her roughly what had happened, and then said softly: "Madam, please don't go out these days. Have a good rest at home, and let Qing'er, Ping'er and the others do things like eating." , be safer.”
Lu Ruoxi was also frightened and turned pale. She nestled in Shen Yi's arms and whispered: "Husband, is it someone from the Fan family who wants to harm you?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
"He's trying to harm both of us."
After saying this, Shen Yi stood up silently and smiled gently at his wife: "Madam, I'm going to write a letter to Jiankang. The Fan family is already at the end of its rope. I believe it won't be possible for them to do anything to us in a few days. No threat."
Lu Ruoxi also stood up and said softly: "I will polish your husband's ink."
"good."
The young couple arrived in the study together. Shen Yi sat on the main seat and spread out the letter paper, while Lu Ruoxi beside her was polishing ink with her bare hands. The young couple had just been married for a day, and the atmosphere had slowly become warm.
…………
This is not the first time Shen Yi has written to Jiankang, but the last few times he has written to Jiankang, he has written to Zhao Changping, but this time, he wrote to the Di Newspaper Division and asked the Di Newspaper Division to forward it to Eunuch Gao .
When Shen Yi's letter arrived in Jiankang, memorials from the Jiangdu county and government levels were also sent to Jiankang. The memorials from the county and government levels clearly stated that there are currently more than 20 members of the Fan family. Lots of lawsuits.
This memorial clearly states that in recent years, the Fan family, relying on the power of Fan Tong, the former minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has committed evil in Jiangdu and oppressed the countryside.
Originally, this kind of memorial from a local official might not be delivered to the emperor's desk because it would be stopped by the officials in the capital. However, one of the two local officials was the direct grandson of Prime Minister Zhang.
Prime Minister Zhang Jing has also been prime minister for more than ten years. His power may not be as powerful as Yang Jingzong, but it is not too small, otherwise the emperor would not keep him in Jiankang.
At least, there is no problem in sending a memorial from the eldest grandson to the emperor's desk.
And just when this memorial letter was sent to the emperor's desk after completing the process, the letter written by Shen Yi to Gao Ming also appeared on the emperor's desk.
When His Majesty the Emperor finished reading these two things, it was already late at night and the moon was shining. He threw the memorial aside, stood up and stretched.
"Shen Qi is really capable. He has only been back to Jiangdu for a short time, and he actually has the ability to ask the chief officials at both county levels to jointly submit a letter to sue the Fan family."
Eunuch Gao stood aside, lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Fan family has the ability. There was a supervisory censor in the former Yushitai. When he patrolled Jiangdu as usual, he seemed to have discovered a case involving the Fan family. , but within two days, the supervisory censor was taken back to Jiankang for corruption, and is still in prison."
"Tsk."
The little emperor clapped his hands and said with emotion: "The battle between the two sides is really interesting."
"Originally, they were fighting against each other, but I would not participate, and I was too lazy to participate..."
"only…"
His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Isn't it too much to just poison the concubine whom I personally appointed?"
He turned to look at Gao Ming, his expression calm.
"Aren't there internal guards following Shen Yi? Let these internal guards confirm this."
The emperor paused and continued: "It would be best if we could find out who did it."
