In the blink of an eye, two or three days had passed since the imperial envoy arrived in Jiangdu.
This morning, not long after the sky had just started to light up, Shen Yi got up from the school building. He had just finished washing, got dressed, and was ready to go to the school to study.
Although he now does not have to go to the school every day to report to his husband, after the last conversation with Mr. Lu, he still went to the school every day to study and report in the past few days.
This was done to tell Master Lu that he had settled down and would not be running around anymore.
As for Miss Lu.
When Shen Yi has nothing to do these days, he will talk to Miss Lu. Although the relationship between them has not yet reached the point of mutual affection, they are much closer than before. In any case, they can be called It’s the word friend.
While talking to Miss Lu, Shen Yi inadvertently mentioned Chen Qing's incident twice, and told Miss Lu some of what happened that day.
Chen Qing died at the hands of Fan Dongcheng and four other people, among whom Fan Dongcheng also took action himself, and the attack was very serious. Shen Yi mentioned the incident of that day to remind Miss Lu to stay away from Fan Dongcheng, a dangerous person.
Shen Yi's approach was obviously very effective. In the past two days, Miss Lu had avoided seeing Fan Dongcheng and would avoid him if she saw him from a distance.
The school building where Shen Yi lives is not very far from the school. You only need to walk through a few courtyards to get there. Although it is still early in the morning, you can already hear the sound of reading everywhere in the academy.
I have to admit that the reading atmosphere in Ganquan Academy is still very good. Even Shen Yi, a soul baptized by fast food culture, can occasionally calm down and read books here and do some learning.
Listening to the students in the academy, Shen Yi thought to himself.
"When I get to know Old Man Lu, I'll find a way to get my little brother to study at Ganquan Academy through the back door..."
Shen Yi's younger brother Shen Heng is only twelve years old and is still studying in a private school.
The minimum standard for admission to Ganquan Academy is to read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. Shen Heng cannot meet this standard now, but Shen Heng is very smart. It should not be a big problem to study at Ganquan Academy in the future.
Just as Shen Yi was thinking about his brother's future, a voice with a slightly unkind tone came from the side.
"Shen Qi..."
Shen Yi raised his head and looked ahead, only to see Fan Dongcheng standing not far in front of him, staring at him with an unkind expression.
Shen Qilang first looked at Fan Dongcheng and then behind Fan Dongcheng. He did not see Ma Jun and Luo Maocai. Shen Yi smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Fan. Why don't you see your two followers?"
Fan Dongcheng snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
He took a step forward and approached Shen Yi, looking angry.
"Shen Qi, you have been going to the mountain chief every day recently. Have you spoken ill of me in front of Junior Sister Lu?"
When Shen Yi heard this, he did not answer directly, but just smiled and said: "I didn't see Senior Brother Ma yesterday. Did something happen to Senior Brother Ma's family?"
Fan Dongcheng looked unkind: "Whether something happens to the Ma family or not has nothing to do with whether something happens to you. Shen Qi, remember this!"
Fan Dongcheng took another step closer, almost close to Shen Yi's ear, and said in a cold voice: "This is Jiangdu. You can live in the academy for a while, but you cannot live in the academy for a lifetime. If you go against me again, Chen Qing..."
"Chen Qing is your fate!"
Hearing Fan Dongcheng's words, even the calm-minded Shen Yi couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to speak, another voice came.
"Shen Yi, Shen Yi..."
Shen Yi turned around and saw his professor walking over with his hands behind his back. Shen Yi took a deep breath and ignored Fan Dongcheng. Instead, he walked up to the teacher and bowed respectfully: "Teacher."
Shen Yi's teacher's surname is Qin, he is a scholar, he is in his forties, he is very peaceful and has a good temper.
In fact, he is not only Shen Yi's teacher, but also Chen Qing's teacher.
This kind of teacher is one who has practiced the Eight Sutras and studied under them. They are also the legendary "personal teachers", also called karma teachers.
If Shen Yi becomes a disciple of Mr. Lu one day, Mr. Lu will also be his teacher and mentor.
Mr. Qin looked at Fan Dongcheng who was not far away, then at Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said: "The mountain chief sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he wants you to accompany him out. The mountain chief is going to go out now. Just look for him at the gate of the academy."
Shen Yi first looked at his teacher. He couldn't confirm whether it was really Mr. Lu who was looking for him or whether the teacher was coming to rescue him. However, he still nodded and said, "Yes, students will go now."
After that, Shen Yi ignored Fan Dongcheng and walked directly towards the main entrance of the academy.
Mr. Fan looked at the direction Shen Yi was going and said coldly: "Junior Brother Shen, don't forget what I said today."
Shen Yi didn't look back and his voice was very calm.
"I remember it, I remember it very clearly."
…………
There was a gray carriage parked at the entrance of Ganquan Academy. Lu Anshi's servant was sitting in front of the carriage, looking like he was about to go out.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yi knew that his teacher had not lied to him, so he stepped forward to the carriage, raised his hands to the carriage and said, "Mr."
From the carriage, Master Lu's honest and mellow voice came.
"Get in the car and talk."
Shen Yi nodded to the Lu family servant who was driving the carriage, called "Uncle Lu", and then climbed into the carriage.
Master Lu's carriage was not very big, but it was more than enough to accommodate two people. After Shen Yi got on the carriage, the servant of the Lu family named Lu waved his whip and the carriage started slowly.
Shen Yi noticed that the carriage was heading towards Jiangdu City.
He turned to look at Master Lu, lowered his head and asked, "Sir, where are we going?"
"Go to the prefect's Yamen."
Hearing this answer, Shen Yi shrank secretly in his heart.
He had done some bad things secretly, and now he was a little afraid of meeting the legendary prefect of Jiangdu.
In fact, he did not meet the Jiangdu prefect. At most, he only glanced at Chen Yu from a distance.
Seeing Shen Yi lowering his head and saying nothing, Master Lu showed a smile on his face: "You know how to be afraid."
After saying this, Lu An Shicai lowered his eyebrows and said: "Today, under the supervision of two imperial envoys from the imperial court, Jiangdu's grain merchants will go to the Jiangdu prefecture's Yamen to discuss it with Chen Fuzun in person. Yesterday, the prefecture's Yamen sent a letter inviting me to do it. A testimony.”
Having said this, Lu Anshi paused and continued: "Today, we will see the outcome."
After hearing this, Shen Yi probably understood why Lu Anshi went to the prefect's Yamen.
The imperial envoys are only sent here to investigate the case. After the investigation is complete, they will return to the capital to report to the imperial court and leave it to the imperial court to make a decision. These two seventh-grade "imperial envoys" only have the power to investigate the case, but not to handle the case, so they have to face both sides one by one. Ask questions, then record the contents of the questions, and then return to the capital and forward them to the court.
Naturally, this "questioning" process cannot be done secretly in hiding. It requires some local celebrities in Jiangdu to bear witness.
There is no doubt that Mr. Lu is one of the local celebrities in Jiangdu.
Shen Yi blinked and looked at Master Lu: "Sir, were those grain merchants inviting you there?"
Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "Both parties invited me."
"This is a rare opportunity. It just takes you to see the world, and at the same time, it also allows Mr. Chen to get to know you, so as not to..."
Speaking of this, Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi and said calmly: "Lest in the future, if something is found out about you, the prefect's Yamen will not come to ask me, and you will be arrested without any reason."
