Xiaolou listened to the wind and rain all night

Yan Yunyou went straight to the study.

Not to mention who came, how could it be an ordinary person who was so sneaky and didn't even dare to show his face.He really couldn't rest assured, thinking about the assassination outside Jinling City when he came, Yan Yunyou felt uneasy, and quickened his pace.

There was no one guarding outside the study, Yan Yunyou raised her heart, fearing that something would happen to Shen Yixuan.

In the room, Xu Huaili was reporting: "A small amount of the weapons in the Qianji Pavilion will be sent north along the salt road, and then the people there will take over and smuggle them out."

Yan Yunyou heard a voice, but she couldn't hear it clearly. It was not until she got closer that she heard the voice coming from inside, which vaguely seemed to be Shen Yixuan: "I have already found out these things. Do you think this information is valuable? ?"

Shen Yixuan snorted coldly, and picked up the teacup again: "There's no sincerity, what's the deal?"

He just wanted to hang Xu Huaili on purpose.The water in the south of the Yangtze River is not much shallower than Chang'an City.What Xu Huaili said, I found out when I left a few months ago, Xu Huaili will not be ignorant of these.

Since it is surrender, it is desperate.How can you be safe without some blood?

Xu Huaili clenched his hands tightly, as if hesitating.

Shen Yixuan saw the right time, and pushed harder: "Prefect Xu, you are a smart person. You must be clear about whether life is more important than secrets. To whom to sacrifice your life is not to sell. If there is a problem with food, the emperor will thoroughly investigate and kill him at that time." There will be more people, maybe there will be Zhu Jiu Clan. It will be too late to regret it. Not everyone is as easy to talk as I am."

Those words were the straw that broke the camel's back.With trembling hands, Xu Huaili picked up the tea.

Shen Yixuan didn't urge him any more, knowing that he was going to talk.

After drinking the tea, Xu Huaili calmed down and said: "I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I don't want to get out of it, I just want the whole family to be safe. I hope His Highness will grant you permission."

Shen Yixuan said: "Just don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Yan Yunyou outside the door suddenly sank in his heart, feeling that what he was going to say next must be very important.

Xu Huaili took a deep breath: "Except for the smuggling matter, Prime Minister Zhou is still dealing with the matter of buying and selling officials."

Shen Yixuan really didn't think of this level, he didn't expect Zhou Yu to act so boldly.

"How to say?"

"There are scholars in Chunwei who have obtained fame through examinations. I don't know how Chang'an City was appointed as an official, but those in Jinling City who obtained fame as scholars can do things with money."

"Oh?" Shen Yixuan frowned: "Two years ago, in Fengyue Pavilion, did a scholar die?"

"Your Highness is wise." Xu Huaili was still a little concerned at first, but when Shen Yixuan asked, he knew that the Fifth Highness in front of him didn't just spend time before and after, and indeed had some tricks.And I have always underestimated him.

"That poor scholar did have some literary talents. He took the exam for three years, but he was not selected as a scholar. The students who studied with him were not as talented as him, but in the end they succeeded in one fell swoop. The scholar was unhappy and felt that this was strange, so he gave it to him. People drink and know the truth.

The man bribed the examiner, and the fame was bought.The scholar felt resentful, but he had neither money nor power.I had to give up.Seeing that there was no way out in the imperial examination, he gave up on himself and went to Fengyue Pavilion to have fun. Unexpectedly, he made a slip of the tongue after drinking and wanted to reveal this matter. How could Miss Huashang allow him to spread this matter and kill people secretly . "

"So you handled this matter yourself at the time just to suppress it?" Shen Yixuan asked.

Xu Huaili shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness is wise, it is true, this matter involves a lot, how dare you be careless. It is indeed a bad job for me to help the evildoers."

Yan Yunyou clenched his hands. He always knew that power and money oppressed people, but he didn't know that it would oppress people to such an extent.Pressured to the point where he has nowhere to defend himself, even if he is killed, he can't speak up, and lost a young life in vain.

Is Shen Yihan doing this kind of thing in private?

Shen Yixuan didn't speak for a while, and waited for Xu Huaili to breathe a sigh of relief before continuing: "The examiner has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he is very good at doing this, so he must have been promoted?"

Xu Huaili nodded: "Yes, this person has been in Jiangnan for three years, and soon he was promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"The household department is a fat job." Shen Yixuan took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Which official from the household department?"

Xu Huaili stopped, no longer answering.He himself knew that this matter was no small matter.

Shen Yixuan snorted coldly: "It's all over, you still care about this name. The official bank that circulates from the Ministry of Households is no less than tens of millions of taels every year, and who is clean among them. The emperor didn't pay it before. We don’t dare to investigate the decree. If you don’t take this opportunity to say it together, I’m afraid you will regret it when the time comes.”

Xu Huaili was riding a tiger, he couldn't stop talking halfway, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain, His Highness Fifth Prince would get the news for nothing, but he would not be able to take advantage of it.

"This person is... Yu Shan, the servant of the household department."

"Yu Shan? That disciple of Shangshu Hubu?" Shen Yixuan asked.There hasn't been much movement in the household department in recent years.Liang Wenfu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was a lowly and extravagant man, and Yu Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was in his forties, and he didn't see much on weekdays.

"Exactly."

"If it's true according to what you said, he must have earned a lot of money in the past few years in Jinling. But seeing that he was not too extravagant in his daily work, where did the money go? With so much money, he I'm afraid I don't have the ability to take it." Shen Yixuan seemed a little disbelieving.

Xu Huaili was in the south of the Yangtze River, so how could he know whether Yu Shan was arrogant or not, he only thought that Shen Yixuan was really thinking that he was not telling the truth.I was a little anxious, but not too impatient. "Your Majesty dare not lie to Your Highness." He said as he took out a stack of papers from under the cloak, which didn't look particularly thick, and he presented it and said, "The list is here, Your Highness, please have a look."

Shen Yixuan took the list and flipped through it, Xu Huaili actually saved two copies, this one is more detailed than the previous one.

Sure enough, there is always a way to retreat when doing things. This kind of person is disloyal in doing things, and even though he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, he is not very able to hold his breath.Shen Yixuan thought to himself, this kind of person must not be used.

Yan Yunyou who was outside the door felt tense when he heard the words, he didn't expect Xu Huaili to stay behind, so wouldn't it be useless for him to go all out to steal the list.

"He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man. Mr. Xu is a smart man." Shen Yixuan picked up the tea again, only to realize that the tea was already a bit cold.

"Your Highness is absurd. I am a foolish person. I have done wrong things in the past. I beg Your Highness to protect the lives of the entire family. It is not a pity for the lower officials to die." Xu Huaili kowtowed to Shen Yixuan as he spoke.

"Lord Xu, don't worry, since I promised you, I won't break my promise." Shen Yixuan also stood up.

Xu Huaili pulled on his cloak, hesitating in his heart.Now that you decide to change your path, you need to show great sincerity.Now that he has betrayed Zhou Yu and Shen Yihan, if Shen Yihan fails to seize the heir apparent, that's fine, if he succeeds, then he will be the first to clean up.However, His Royal Highness Fifth and His Royal Highness took advantage of Prime Minister Zhou again this time, so the situation is uncertain.

Xu Huaili was still feeling overwhelmed, a little unsteady.He decided to make the fire bigger.

"Your Highness, eight days later, there will be transactions on the Qinhuai River outside Jinling City. You can keep the list, and I will leave." After finishing speaking, he put on his cloak and hat, and prepared to leave.

When Yan Yunyou outside the door heard the words, he immediately avoided.

Shen Yixuan stood up, but he didn't send it to the door, he just said: "Master Xu, it's easy to leave."
