To be honest, even if the content recorded in these letters is true, it is actually not a big deal.
Even if the government does verify it, it won't matter much.
It's incredible, even if the Fan family sends out a loyal servant to take the blame, not only Fan Shilang and Fan Qian will be safe and sound, but even Fan Qian and Master Fan will probably be difficult to be affected.
Both Lu Anshi and Fan Shilang knew this, which is why Fan Shilang was so happy to hand over the "handle" of the Fan family to Mr. Lu.
Just seven tenant farmers.
In later generations, it may be a major event, but in this era, it is just a trivial matter. Not to mention a big shot like Fan Shilang, even the magistrate of a county can easily smooth over this matter.
Even Mr. Lu knows that this thing can at most damage the reputation of the Fan family, but not the foundation of the Fan family.
Mr. Lu was not so naive that this thing could bring down the Fan family. The reason why he wanted to give this thing to Shen Yi was to see Shen Yi's attitude towards this matter.
If Shen Yi will stand on the opposite side of the Fan family in the future, then this letter, which cannot harm the foundation of the Fan family, can become the "first blow" against the Fan family.
Master Lu, this depends on Shen Yi's attitude.
The lives of the seven tenant farmers were not that important in the eyes of people of this era, even in Master Lu's eyes, but they made Shen Yi, who was holding these letters, tremble slightly.
He was not scared, but shocked.
Even a little creepy.
Although he has received all of Shen Yi's memories and even accommodated some of Shen Yi's thoughts, the person who dominates this soul is still the Shen Yi of modern society, the self-made boss Shen!
From the perspective of Boss Shen, a modern soul, the fact that a family of seven died unexpectedly and was suspected of being beaten to death is really...
So shocking!
When he came to this era, the only murder case he came into contact with was that of Chen Qing. At that time, Shen Yi thought that he had come into contact with all the dark sides of this era, but after seeing these letters, he suddenly felt a sense of dismay. He felt like falling into an ice cave...
Black...so fucking dark!
At this moment, Shen Yi was not only shocked by the behavior of the Fan family, but also deeply scared by his own experience...
At this moment, he truly felt that his life in the county government was indeed hanging by a thread. He died accidentally, and like this tenant farmer, he died silently and reasonably. legitimate!
Even when Fan Dongcheng threatened to make him look good later, he thought that at most he would be beaten. Now that he thinks about it, if he was really blocked in the wild by Fan Dongcheng's people at that time...
The consequences may be disastrous.
Shen Yi stood there, breathing a little quickly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi's expression and thought that these letters had frightened the young man. He stood up from the chair and sighed slightly: "Well, these things are indeed a bit inappropriate for your age. You put the letters Put it down and go back to study and prepare for the imperial examination."
Shen Yi finally came to his senses.
He lowered his head silently and sealed the letters one by one, then stuffed them back into the big envelope, and then stuffed the big envelope into his sleeve.
He looked up at Lu Anshi with a serious expression: "Sir, the student has accepted this."
"The student understands what sir means. If there is a chance in the future, the student will definitely seek justice for this family of seven!"
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Mr. Lu stood there. He looked at Shen Yi's firm expression and sighed quietly: "When I was a boy, I had an upright temperament and hated evil, just like you now. It's a pity that I ended up in the world later. After several encounters, I don’t know why, but the righteousness I once had has been completely eliminated, and now only the words “Be Mingzhe and protect yourself” are left.”
Having said this, Lu Anshi looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly: "Shen Yi, are you willing to become my teacher?"
Hearing Lu Anshi's words, Shen Yi was shocked.
He raised his head and glanced at Lu Anshi, then without saying a word, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Anshi and said: "Disciple Shen Yi, pay homage to my mentor!"
If you don’t hug this kind of thigh, you are a fool!
Master Lu did not speak, but found a chair by himself, sat down silently, and then said: "You have no fame, and if I openly accept you as a student, the scholars in the academy will be unhappy. Today I will sit here and suffer." You have a cup of tea, and I will wait for you to become a scholar in the future, return to Jiangdu, and then publicly become a disciple."
With Lu Anshi's status, not only as a scholar, but also as a scholar or even a new scholar, they might want to be his disciple! Now he promises that Shen Yi can become his disciple as long as he is a scholar, which has opened a huge "back door" for Shen Yi .
Shen Yi naturally understood this truth. Without saying a word, he got up from the ground, picked up the teapot on the desk, poured a cup of tea, then held it in his hands, knelt in front of Lu Anshi again, and served tea with both hands.
"Teacher, drink tea."
Lu Anshi sat on the chair, took Shen Yi's cup of tea with both hands, then took a sip, put the cup of tea on the small table beside him, stood up and helped Shen Yi up.
"Shichiro, please get up."
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "From today on, you and I are master and disciple. When you come back from Jiankang, I will give you a pseudonym."
Parents give names and teachers give names. Shen Yi is now sixteen years old. Originally, he would not have a cousin name until he was twenty years old when he was crowned. However, if he became a scholar and gained fame, the teacher could give him a cousin name in advance.
Shen Yi bowed his head slightly to Lu Anshi and saluted, "Thank you so much, mentor."
At this time, Shen Yi felt much more at ease.
In any case, with such a "great Confucian" who is also a big figure in the education and imperial examination circles as his teacher, his future career in the imperial examinations will be much smoother.
But Shen Yi's requirements for the examination room are not high.
He is not demanding the reputation of first-class, second-best, third-best, etc.
For him, the imperial examination is just a step to advance into the officialdom. For him, even if there is only one third-class scholar with the same background as a Jinshi, it would be enough for him to be qualified to enter the officialdom!
With such a teacher here, although there is no guarantee that he will definitely win the Jinshi, there will certainly be no shortage of various "examination materials". During the exam, he may meet seniors from the Ganquan School who will take the exam, and then he will randomly excerpt the works of his seniors. If you write the sentences above, you might be able to become a top three scholar.
"alright."
Master Lu reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Not long after I finished the county examination, I have been busy with the Fan family's affairs in the past few days. I think you are tired too. We will stop here today. You can go back."
After saying that, Master Lu paused, then looked at Shen Yi and said, "But in the past few days, you should not go out. Just now, Minister Fan was here and said that he wanted to see you and asked Fan Dongcheng to apologize to you. I didn't. agree…"
Lu Shanchang sighed and said helplessly: "He is the minister of the dynasty after all. I can't do anything with him. This matter can only be brought to an end. He has an errand and he should take Fan Dongcheng to leave Jiangdu in a few days." Return to Jiankang, wait until they leave, and then go to Jiangdu City for activities."
Hearing these words, Shen Yi was slightly surprised.
"Teacher, Fan Dongcheng is going to Jiankang?"
"Um."
Master Lu said slowly: "I said I want to go to the Imperial College to study."
The little old man narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Jiankang is no better than Jiangdu. There are many ruthless characters in the Imperial College. After he arrives in Jiankang, he should be much more honest."
Shen Yi did not speak, but his eyes flashed.
After he takes the government examination, he will also go to Jiankang.
By the time…
A thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind.
Maybe... we can meet Fan Dongcheng again in Jiankang.
