Tai Jia

Before the two of them could react from their shock, He Xichao didn't seem to want to talk about it, so he said to him, "By the way, the matter of the embankment has been found out, and it was indeed Fu Miao who ordered people to remove it."

Although he regretted not listening to He Xichao's Fengyue gossip, but it was related to the overall situation, Sun Xiong pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

He Xihua's voice was dull, "It's not surprising, but I'm more concerned about who is behind him, who has the ability to send him to my side."

He Xichao sneered, "It must be in the Tai Pavilion, but Shen Lin found a lot of secret letters, but he repeatedly advised him not to act rashly, and never hurt the people's livelihood."

Sun Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that those who fight against the He family for him must be loyal ministers, but no matter how loyal they are to the emperor, who would dare to use a loyal minister who is cruel and heartless to the people?

"It's better to punish Fu Miao, and forget about the people behind it." He Xihua was silent for a while, and finally said calmly.

He Xichao sighed, "That's exactly what I mean, but I still need to convince my father."

Sitting opposite each other and sighing for a while, He Xichao slowly got up, "After talking so many things, you should be tired too."

He walked a few steps, then turned around, "If you have someone to serve you, you don't need to hide it. Now that the building is about to collapse, it's precarious. You and I don't have many days to live. Do whatever you want, don't worry about it." Don't regret it until you die. Even if it's inappropriate, if you make trouble with your aunt or father, I will take care of it for you."

No matter how unseemly, can it compare with you?

He Xihua really didn't know how to answer, so he turned slightly on the couch and saluted, "Thank you brother for your compassion, and hope that brother can get his wish as soon as possible."

When He Xichao was far away, he got up as if he was exhausted, lifted the mattress, opened the bed board, looked at the disgraced Sun Xiong below him, and said with unfriendly eyes, "What you heard today..."

Sun Xiong pointed to the sky in a trance and said: "If I reveal a word, let my whole family die."

This oath was not poisonous, so He Xihua felt relieved, and said awkwardly: "You go."

Sun Xiong came out and wiped his face with his sleeve, "You have a good rest."

However, He Xihua only nodded, and lay back on the couch as if collapsed, covering his face with the brocade quilt.

In the evening, Sun Xiong couldn't sleep at night, so he just put on his clothes and got up, and tiptoed out the door quickly, all the way to the imperial envoy's dormitory, and after listening carefully to Shen Lin's room that there was no sound, he knocked on the door three times.

Shen Lin opened the door silently, knelt down and saluted silently, and then led him into the inner room.

"It's an extraordinary time, and I haven't treated you badly." Sun Xiong glanced at the furnishings in the room, with a teasing tone.

Shen Lin said dryly: "I really can't shirk my thoughts from the people in Sizhou."

Sun Xiong took out a letter from his sleeve, "Go back and give this letter to your father, and ask him to pay you after reading it."

"Yes." Shen Lin didn't ask much, and took it with both hands respectfully.

Sun Xiong asked He Xichao about the matter of Fu Miao that He Xichao said in the afternoon, and asked him for confirmation. He was relieved when he saw that the comparison between the two was correct.

Shen Lin immediately stated, "I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Don't talk too much first, lest you will be really embarrassed in the future, and you will regret it." Sun Xiong looked at him soothingly, "But this time is a good thing. Not only will it not hurt your life, but it will also let you share your life." Get a slice."

"Oh?" Shen Lin became even more vigilant when he heard this.

Sun Xiong looked out the window, "If you want to do great things, you can't live without money. If you want to get money quickly in a short time, don't steal or grab it, what do you think there is a way?"

In fact, Shen Lin suddenly had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't say it in front of the master in front of him, he couldn't speak it.

I don't know if Sun Xiong saw through his mind, and he smiled half-smile, "You can't be greedy yet."

Shen Lin really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling, so he pleaded guilty: "I'm stupid, I don't know."

"Do you know why Yangzhou is the richest in the world?" Sun Xiong was persuasive.

"Water transportation."

"Exactly, but today's water transport is controlled by the Cao Gang, except for the government. Don't think that I don't know that there are many honorable shadows behind the Cao Gang. Just say that you are the Guangling Marquis Mansion, and you are sitting in Yangzhou as a feudal city. , have you received filial piety all these years?"

These words were a bit harsh, and Shen Lin was so frightened that he immediately wanted to kneel down again.

Sun Xiong was not used to other people kneeling up and down at every turn, he held him up with one hand, and continued: "The benefits of water transport are nothing compared to sea transport."

Shen Lin only felt that his hand was like an iron claw, and it was so imprisoned that he couldn't move. He didn't know what happened to the emperor when he was living in the rivers and lakes. This arm strength was not inferior to that of his younger brother who was practicing martial arts in Heming. .

"Does Your Majesty want to operate the shipping?"

While paying attention to the movement outside the window, Sun Xiong said, "It will eventually happen, but now is not the time. Donghaiyan's family is powerful, and it is time for someone to take a share."

As expected of His Majesty, when he was poor and white, he was still thinking about taking food from the tiger's mouth, but it would be better if he didn't bother the courtiers, Shen Lin secretly slandered.

Sun Xiong naturally knew the calculations in his mind, "I want to clean up the shipping in the name of eliminating Japanese pirates, so that the Yan family will willingly give up the profits."

"I want to ask a few people to write a letter, saying that I want to wipe out the pirates, and then I don't need to say much, remember, I must catch the alive, and then no matter whether he recruits or not, I will directly say that the Yan family ordered it. Then... Go to the Yan family with the confession and let them share with me, otherwise, we will directly deal with the law."

Shen Lin interjected, "It is true that most of the pirates are from the forces of Yan's and other families, and it is not wrong to say that he has been wronged."

"Even if it is wronged, so what? Based on what they did on the southeast coast, it is definitely not too much to sentence the Yan family to live in Lingnan." Sun Xiong sneered, "What's more, the Cao Gang dare not monopolize the water transportation, and his Yan family actually Taking advantage of the previous troubled times, the imperial court had no time to look around and collude with pirates... In the entire sea, except for his Yan family's boat, even the imperial court's boat couldn't get through, who gave them the courage?"

Seeing his face sinking like water, Shen Lin felt that the Yan family had hit the muzzle pitifully, but also felt that what the emperor said was quite reasonable, so he said: "In this case, why not directly bring the Yan family to justice?"

"Now that my position is undecided and my wings are still fledgling, I have investigated the Yan family, and I have no power to control the sea transportation. It is better to take advantage of him for the time being, and then gradually figure it out in the future." Sun Xiong's eyes were cold, "If the Yan family is good, then Just obediently be my hawk dog, otherwise you will seek your own death."

Shen Lin hesitated and said: "Then who will be sent to open the mouth? Who will handle this matter?"

Sun Xiong pondered He Yang's thoughts, "The He family is from the north, and their sphere of influence is not on the coast, and they don't know much about shipping. Even if someone proposes to exterminate pirates, they may not think of shipping. I can rest assured now. My family is only one or two, and they are going to be in the south of the Yangtze River... Are you interested?"

Shen Lin hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "I have little knowledge, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the heavy responsibility."

Sun Xiong bent down beside him, "I have already repaired the book for Zhao Zhihuan, and he will find a reliable person for the specific matters. I just want to ask your family to borrow some money, and I will definitely get a market for that person." Make a job. The profit at that time..."

"All belong to His Majesty."

Sun Xiong smiled and stood up, "I'm an empty-handed white wolf, how could I treat you badly? I will have my own explanation at that time. I'll go and see He Xihua, and you can rest."

Shen Lin was in a complicated mood, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
