The heat wave of the rebellion that King Pingyang colluded with the Jiangnan imperial merchants has not yet subsided, and the capital was blown up by another piece of news.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Shen family is heavily surrounded?!"

"Yes, yes! I heard that Prime Minister Shen has been corrupt and perverted the law for [-] years, and he collected a lot of evidence documents and handed them over. The Emperor Long Yan was so angry that he fired Prime Minister Shen!"

"I can't see it. When I followed my father to Shen's mansion to pay respects to Mrs. Shen's birthday, I even glanced at Prime Minister Shen from a distance. He looks like a good person. I didn't expect that he would do those unsightly things behind his back." Human deeds!"

The man who spoke shook his head, sighing silently in his heart that people can't be judged by appearances, while lifting his chopsticks to pick up the bean sprouts dish that was just served.

The man sitting at the same table with him snorted and laughed twice.

"There are no good people out there now. It's just the difference between being greedy and greedy, big mistakes and small mistakes, and those who have been found out and those who haven't. Just wait and see. When the evidence is verified, when the Shen family is ransacked , there must be a bunch of radishes to be pulled out!"

The two laughed and laughed a few words, and then started the next topic...

When everyone in the capital was discussing the Shen family's loss of power, Pei Ye sensitively found out that he was under house arrest.

In a small house with one hall and two courtyards, except for Pei Ye's own room, there were people following him in the dark even when he went out.

Picking up his robe, Pei Ye shook his belt, turned his head to look at the guard standing beside him with a stone statue and raised his eyebrows, "Why, you have to watch this?"

The paralyzed guard with a frosty face looked at Pei Ye's ready posture with the hem of his robe set up and his belt clenched tightly for a long time, but finally he didn't say the words that started with 'for the safety of Young Master Pei', took a step back, and turned around silently .

Looking at the guard's muscular back, Pei Ye let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and then quickly stuffed the small piece of paper hidden under his sleeve into the crack of the brick on the opposite side.

***

Standing outside the inner hall of Shen's house, which was heavily surrounded, Shen Guzhi asked Shen Yi and Shen Qi to wait outside the door, looked up at the four vermilion characters of "virtuous and loyal" hanging under the eaves of the door, Shen Guzhi let Shen Yi and Shen Qi wait outside the door. His eyes curled up at the corners of his lips, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"It's really you."

Shen Mingxiu turned his back to the door, put his hands behind his back, straightened his back and looked at the plaque bestowed by the former emperor behind the seat in the middle without turning his head.

"You should have thought about it since the day I came back from Jiangnan." Shen Guzhi stood at the door, the orange-red sunset dragging his shadow through the door frame, and then quietly cast a shadow on the ground.

"Bastard!" Shen Mingxiu squeezed his fist hidden in his sleeve and endured it, but he couldn't hold it back.

"Do you know that this Shen family is not only my Shen family, it is also your Shen family! As a descendant of the Shen family, how dare you! How dare you...!!!"

Shen Mingxiu turned around and stared at Shen Guzhi, trembling with anger, but Shen Guzhi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly, "Master Shen forgot, since I was six years old, I am no longer a member of the Shen family. "

Before he finished speaking, the anger in Shen Mingxiu's eyes burst out uncontrollably. Before he could get angry, Shen Guzhi dropped the second half of the sentence leisurely and lightly.

"It was you who removed the name from the family tree by yourself."

Shen Mingxiu's expression froze, and his clenched fists couldn't help loosening a little. Looking at the grown-up but also very strange child at the door, he said in a low voice with a complicated expression, "You still hate Dad? Even...even if you remember Dad shouldn't..."

"Master Shen was just joking." Shen Guzhi interrupted him, "Mr. Shen lost his mother when he was young, and has no father or mother. How can he have the right to hate Lord Shen? Today, he just received His Majesty's order to help everyone in your house change their residences. Zhong Chen!"

"Here!" Zhong Chen, who was leading two teams of imperial guards outside the hall, heard the voice, clenched the long knife in his hand, and rushed in with his men.

"Master Shen, please."

Two rows of royal guards surrounded the door from both sides, surrounded Shen Mingxiu in the middle, Zhong Chen put his right hand on the handle of the knife slanted across his waist, and stretched out his left hand as a gesture of invitation to Shen Mingxiu.

Shen Mingxiu's heart sank again and again, he turned his head to look at Shen Guzhi, but saw the back of him turning to leave.

"Yu'er!"

"Master Shen, stay behind!"

The noise behind came to his ears, Shen Guzhi curled his lips indifferently, took Shen Yi and Shen Qi and walked away.

Yuer?He was no longer called Shen Yu.

He is Shen Guzhi, Shen's Xuanning Shen, Gu Zhihe's Gu Zhi...

As soon as he walked out of the oppressive Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Dezi who was beside Huai Jing rushed over with two young eunuchs.

"Yo, Mr. Shen~ Hey bah bah bah! Look at my mouth! It should be Mr. Shen!" Xiao Dezi looked at Shen Guzhi with a smile on his arms.

Shen Guzhi stopped and nodded to him, "Young Master Xiaode."

"What kind of father-in-law? You can just call him Xiao Dezi!" Xiao Dezi covered his mouth and giggled, and then continued: "Let's go, His Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Shen Guzhi nodded, and followed him into the carriage parked at the Prince's Mansion on the side of the street.

"Have you dealt with it?"

In the flower hall of the Prince's Mansion, Huai Jing asked with a smile when he saw Shen Gu Zhi coming slowly behind Xiao Dezi.

After bringing him here, Xiao Dezi bowed and stepped back, Shen Guzhi moved to the lower seat and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. "He has already been pressured by Zhong Chen to go to Dali Temple, and the rest is up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Huai Jing smiled lightly, raised his wine glass to Shen Gu Zhi, "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, for his long-cherished wish come true."

Shen Guzhi replaced wine with tea and followed him.

"By the way, Gu Zhi did this...he really won't regret it in the future? After all, the Shen family is also..." Huai Jing put down his glass and ordered it all, but Shen Guzhi's answer was exceptionally straightforward.

"I'm just Shen Guzhi."

Huai Jing picked up the chopsticks and tapped the dish, nodded and smiled, "I'm confused, let's eat quickly, the dishes are cold."

Shen Guzhi nodded in agreement.

He understood what Huai Jing meant to test him, but he was just afraid that he would remember that he was also a member of the Shen family in the future, and would rebel against him when he remembered what happened today.

But is it possible?

He tried his best to let Chao He hide by Shen Mingxiu's side, and took great pains to obtain the corrupt officials' account book from Lu Dayuan, just to collect evidence of the Shen family's corruption and abuse of the law for personal gain and malpractice!

A fake ledger with Shen Mingxiu's piles of criminal evidence was handed over to the court through Huai Jing's hand, and a real ledger was used to control those treacherous officials in the court to stand up and testify for him. This seemingly simple move actually cost him a lot. The time of two lifetimes!

So for such a labor-intensive task, he could just wake up without smiling in his dream, so how could he regret it? !

Shen Guzhi shook the teacup in his hand with downcast eyes, and drank it slowly.

The author has something to say:

Regarding Shen Guzhi's name, I will explain it later in the article. I just want to mention here that I will go home tomorrow, so I will resume normal updates. I hope I can finish this book before closing the book!
