Cheng Fantai's whimsical ideas still have room for maneuver.
However, Shen Yi had no way to decide this kind of matter, or in other words, he had no way to decide for the emperor.
Because he has no power to appoint a Fujian governor...
After seeing Shen Yi respond, Cheng Tingzhi didn't have much happy expression on his face. Instead, his expression became complicated. He sat there and was silent for a while, then looked at Shen Yi and asked: "Scholar Shen, Cheng is here now." I can hand you the evidence in my hand."
"J."
Shen Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "I am not from the Sanfa Department. I am not responsible for investigating corruption. There is no use in giving evidence to me. Cheng Fantai should keep it for himself. If the court sends someone to investigate, Then Cheng Fantai will hand over these evidences, but..."
Shen Yi stretched out a hand, placed it in front of Cheng Tingzhi, and said: "But I need Cheng Fantai's private seal to add a seal to the secret memorial, so that when the imperial court really sends someone down, Cheng Fantai will deny it. , then I will no longer be human on both sides.”
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Cheng Tingzhi was not angry but happy. He took out his private seal from his arms and handed it to Shen Yi happily. He smiled and said: "Scholar Shen is thoughtful and thoughtful, which makes me feel more at ease. "
After taking the private seal, he took a careful look at the cracks on the seal and its condition, and then put it in his sleeve.
Literati in this era basically had their own private seal, and in order to prevent forgery, the seal would be deliberately bumped to create a crack after it was carved.
This kind of crack will produce 10,000 lines after being struck 10,000 times. It cannot be faked.
After receiving Cheng Tingzhi's private seal, Shen Yi glanced at the chief envoy and said with a smile: "Cheng Fantai, there is no airtight wall in the world. Today's conversation between you and me must not be told to a third person. , before the imperial court sends people down, Cheng Fantai must ensure his own safety..."
Cheng Tingzhi nodded slightly, with a calm expression: "I have already met Bachelor Shen today. If I am killed in the future, it will be the Fujian officialdom who killed me, killing a third-grade civil servant of the imperial court..."
He said slowly: "This is the crime of beheading and confiscating the family. If I really die in their hands, I can also bring down the officialdom of Fujian on behalf of the court."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "It's better to be careful. Maybe Fujian will need to worry about it in the future."
He stood up from his chair, cupped his hands towards Cheng Fantai, and said with a smile: "Then let's stop talking today. Shen still has some things to do, so he will go to work. Cheng Fantai must take care of himself. , I’ll treat Cheng Fantai to a drink after I finish what I’m doing.”
Cheng Tingzhi also stood up, bowed his hand in return to Shen Yi, and then showed a smile on his face: "Senior Shen is busy with his work. I will take leave in the next few days and live in seclusion."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly.
"When Fan Tai saw me today, someone must have noticed me. It's better not to be too out of the ordinary. Whatever you should do on a daily basis, you should continue to do what you do in the future. If others ask, Fan Tai will say, tell me I talked about the affairs of Ganquan Academy and inquired about my truth and falsehood."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi suddenly thought of something, and he smiled at Cheng Tingzhi.
"By the way, Fantai can talk to Zhongcheng this afternoon and get some words out of me."
"Tell him that I am going to make a big fuss in Fuzhou."
Cheng Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Yi: "What is Bachelor Shen going to do?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "The feudal government should know about it in one or two hours at most."
After that, Mr. Shen bowed his hand to Cheng Tingzhi in a cool manner, and then left Yanyun Tower.
After getting off Yanyun Tower and getting on his carriage, Shen Yi did not immediately let the driver drive. Instead, he looked left and right, then raised one hand to the sky.
Soon, a man with strong steps walked towards Shen Yi. Before long, he came to Shen Yi and bowed his head slightly to Shen Yi: "Scholar Shen, what happened?"
This is the inner guard.
The gesture of raising one palm to the sky just now was a gesture agreed between Shen Yi and the inner guards. When something goes wrong, these inner guards could be summoned as soon as possible.
Mr. Shen smiled at this man, then pointed to the Yanyun Building next to him, and said: "The Fujian Chief Envoy Cheng Tingzhi is on this building. I would like to invite two brothers from the inner guard to follow him a few times." sky."
The man frowned at first. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Scholar Shen, we have no orders from above and cannot follow the third-grade officials..."
"It's not stalking."
Shen Yi looked calm: "I was secretly protecting him for a few days. You don't need to tell me his whereabouts or what he did."
The man thought about it seriously, then looked at Shen Yi: "This, I need to report it to the captain."
"You just report it."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "But this person may be useful to Your Majesty. If the inner guard can help, he should try his best to help."
At this point, Shen Yi took the initiative to end the conversation: "Okay, I'll go find your captain. I have something urgent to do."
After that, he glanced at the coachman and said in a low voice, "Go back to your residence."
The coachman nodded immediately and drove the carriage away from Yanyun Tower. Within a moment of a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the door of the residence. As soon as Shen Yi got off the carriage, Ling Su, who was dressed in leather armor, came over, bowed his head respectfully and clasped his fists: "Mr. Shen, There are a total of 400 people from the four captain camps in the city. They have all arrived. Please give your orders!"
Shen Yi said "hmm" and asked, "What about Tan and Feng's family..."
Ling Su immediately lowered his head and said: "We have sent people to keep an eye on the noble families that we got letters from before. They have been living in seclusion recently and rarely go out..."
"Most of the people from the Tan family and the Feng family are in this house."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Send people to surround these two families."
Having said this, he looked at Ling Su with an expressionless face: "Say hello to the two thousand households outside the city and ask them to prepare manpower to respond at any time. If there is any movement in the city, they will immediately bring people into the city to provide support."
"yes!"
Ling Su bowed his head deeply: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, brothers outside the city can enter the city at any time."
"good."
Mr. Shen waved his hand: "Just go do something."
"No matter which yamen people in Fuzhou encounter obstacles, ignore them. If they forcefully come, just attack them directly. There is no need to be timid."
"I will be responsible for everything."
When the leader says these eight words, it is like a shot of blood.
After all, there are too few leaders who take the initiative to shoulder all responsibilities.
Ling Su's voice was low: "I obey my orders!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned back to look at the four hundred households behind him, and shouted: "The two houses I told you earlier were immediately surrounded by people. No one is allowed to enter or exit without Master Shen's warrant!"
"remember!"
Ling Su shouted: "Anyone!"
The four hundred households all fought with the anti-Japanese army, and being promoted to the hundred households in the anti-Japanese army meant that they had at least the lives of four or five Japanese pirates in their hands.
These people can all be said to be ruthless people.
They clasped their fists respectfully, then waved their hands, leading the soldiers from the Hundred Household Camp under their command, and quickly rushed to the mansion of Tan and Feng's family.
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and continued: "Move two more hundred-household battalions into the city and go to the homes of the Fuzhou gentry to inform them door to door that the imperial court is investigating a major case of Japanese treason."
"Any nobleman dares to take his family out of the city at this time..."
Shen Yi's voice was cold.
"Punished for the crime of treason with Japanese!"
