Why did Zheng Sen suddenly take the initiative and slip away? This matter has to be two days ago.

After being pressured by Zhu Dadian, Zhang Xuezhe naturally notified the Shen family as soon as possible, asking Chen Shuren to set off for Nanjing for investigation by the Ministry of Justice.

Chen Shuren took semi-confidential measures to deal with this news, that is, he only revealed it to people close to him.

Zheng Sen was sent to Suzhou by his family for more than half a month, but he had a good relationship with Chen Shuren.

Zheng Sen is only fifteen years old now, and is still young and enterprising, and he is still a little impulsive in doing things. He is aware of his knowledge, Gu and Zhang are both people with unconventional knowledge and open-minded knowledge of civil and military strategies, so he can talk to them in particular.

The day before leaving, Chen Shuren quietly invited Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu and Zheng Sen to have a meal together, which was to practice it for himself.

Zhang Huangyan and Gu Yanwu were naturally a little indignant about his transfer.

They felt that the case was very clear. Chen Shuren just let the servants defend themselves and did not make any mistakes at all. He just asked the Nanjing Ministry of Justice to review the file materials directly. Why should he take the person away and be humiliating?

Chen Shuren was very generous: "Several brothers considered me, and Chen understood it. However, the state has its own laws, so this time I went there was not a detention, it was just a question.

It is probably just that this case is too typical and the plot is relatively novel. The Nanjing Ministry of Justice wants to sort out and summarize it, and teach the people everywhere, and there will be no problem."

Gu Yanwu was amazed when he heard this: "Brother Chen is really open-minded, so I won't say much. I'm all drunk. I hope my brother will have a smooth journey and will not affect his career in the future."

Everyone was drunk and dried up. Chen Shuren immediately put on a guilty expression and took the opportunity to apologize to Zheng Sen:

"Chen has a clear conscience in this matter, but I am sorry to Brother Zheng. A gentleman should have promised a fortune, but Chen finally broke his promise. Brother Yu respects you. If you are willing to forgive Brother Yu, you will drink this cup."

Zheng Sen couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Chen said this? What's wrong with me when you go to Nanjing?"

Shen Shuren's acting skills just right showed a surprised expression:

"What? Do you don't know what the arrangements are in my family? Your fourth uncle came to my house several times before and asked me to pretend to be sick and not go to Nanjing. Now I can't help but have to break my trust. Are you sorry for you?"

Chen Shuren guessed correctly. Zheng Zhilong did not thoroughly analyze the twists and turns he was worried about.

It is estimated that Zheng Sen only knew that his family did not want him to go to Nanjing, but he never knew how much price his family paid for this bureau and how much attention he paid.

Zheng Sen was indeed stunned and asked quickly. Chen Shuren followed suit and explained the Zheng family's remarks and his subsequent reasoning.

After hearing this, Zheng Sen felt a bit like a collapse in his faith. His father's image in his mind was no longer as "loyal and righteous" as he originally thought.

"...It turns out that my father has been suspicious of the court. He was afraid that the court would let us go to Nanjing to study, so he wanted to seize me as a hostage? Since Zhao'an, our Zheng family has been so full of conviction. Why do we have so much suspicion? Just because our family, like Zhang Xianzhong, were all born by Xiong Wencan.

If the court really had this meaning, but I said I wouldn’t go away, wouldn’t it make the Zheng family even more suspicious? No, I’m just a boy, what’s the big deal about my personal safety? If my father and the court have a rift, wouldn’t he become an unfaithful and unfilial person?”

After all, he was young. When he thought of these stools, he felt that as long as he was doing things right, how could the court attack him, a fifteen-year-old boy? That would be too expensive.

It's not surprising that he would think so.

The main reason is that his father Zheng Zhilong knew Chongzhen's temper that "can't rub sand in his eyes" and could not be judged by common sense.

Zheng Sen was still not sure how suspicious Chongzhen was. He was not yet fifteen years old to come into contact with the political struggles of the court.

Chen Shuren kept observing secretly from the side, and when Zheng Sen was almost suspicious of his life, he was so difficult to "consider Zheng Sen":

"My brother is worthy of being a loyal, filial, polite, and righteous person! But don't misunderstand Ling Zun and Uncle Ling, they did not openly disobey the court. I guess I just hoped that the Shen family would be the first to be the first, and then your family would follow the crowd and not blame the public.

Unfortunately, my father offended Zhu Dadian, the governor of the canal transport, because of his proposal to change the sea. Zhu Dadian took the opportunity to work as a raft this time and insisted on disgusting us, but he accidentally implicated his brother..."

Chen Shuren spoke very well. He knew that since ancient times, he had never been close to each other. If he directly said that the other party's father and uncle were sinister, it would definitely attract Zheng Sen to resist instinctively.

But he mainly praised Zheng Zhilong's plan, which seemed "explainable", instead increasing the credibility of this set of rhetoric.

Finally, the "unexpected force majeure" of Zhu Dadian made the Zheng family no longer feel embarrassed to blame the Shen family for not cooperating.

Everything is so in line with the character of the Shen family father and son.

Zheng Sen struggled with the time of the banquet, and finally took advantage of the alcohol and became impulsive: "Brother Chen, I will not cooperate with Uncle Fourth to pretend to be sick. Now that things have come to this point, if our Zheng family is a turtle, it will be throwing dirty water on their heads!

Isn’t it just going to study in Nanjing? I’ll be on the same boat as you, sneak over first, and I’ll go to Nanjing Imperial College to report! When the road is already completed, my father and fourth uncle are too late to stop it.”

Chen Shuren pretended to be shocked, and looked like Zhuge Liang had finished reciting the "Bronze Biography" in front of Zhou Yu: "My brother thinks twice! It's all because of Chen's fault. Don't damage the father-son family relationship."

Zheng Sen tried to persuade him more and more, and sighed: "My father was born in a humble background and read less books of saints. As a son of man, I should make up for the inappropriate things when my father served the king.

Brother Chen, I don’t have no boat to sit on, I’m just afraid that I will be sent back when I take my own boat. That’s why I want to borrow your Shen family’s boat to avoid people’s eyes and ears. This little busyness is nothing to you, right?”

Shen Shuren showed off just right: "Although my Shen family is less than 10% of yours, there are still hundreds of ships in the sea. What's so great about taking a boat?"

Zheng Sen: "Then it's decided. When you set sail to Nanjing tomorrow night, I will come to meet you secretly. But I will leave a letter to my fourth uncle to explain the truth so that he will not think about resisting the court anymore, so as not to cause more trouble. He will understand.

By the time he saw this letter, we had already gone far away, and the vast river, where could they go? And I will explain that all this is my own decision. I think this is the best for the family, and they will not blame your Shen family."

Chen Shuren also acted like a heroic look that he was inspired by the general:

"What are you saying? I didn't want to take you just now, just because I was afraid of damaging your father-son relationship. Why don't I be afraid of being blamed? Although my Shen family is poor, I can still bear this grudge! I just decided!"

...

Zheng Sen was half-incited and half-killed by Chen Shuren, and subtly deceived him to Nanjing.

It was not until the morning after Zheng Sen set off on the boat that he realized that his nephew was no longer there, and he secretly ran away with one or two trusted servants, so he couldn't catch up with him.

The waterway from Suzhou to Nanjing took the Yangtze River to upstream, and it took five or six days to arrive.

It was the end of June when Shen Shuren set sail, and the day he got ashore was the third day of July.

Chen Shuren didn't dock at the crowded wharf, for fear that the Zheng family would send fast horse servants to the dock to get to the dock by land first. After all, the water flow is definitely much slower than riding a horse.

I have been having a good time all the way these days. Zhang Huangyan and Gu Yanwu have to take the provincial examination, so I can come early and late. This time I happened to be on the same boat.

Everyone drinks and chats together every day, and talks about politics and history, and they are so happy.

Especially Zhang Huangyan is both civil and military, and is not idle. He thinks that he exercises too little on the boat, so he even set up several temporary targets on the deck of the boat, shooting arrows every day to exercise.

The Shen family's Dasha captain is about eight feet tall. The cabin of the head and tail is removed, and the middle deck is only five or six feet long. It is not difficult to shoot the fixed target. In order to prevent accidents, they knocked off the metal arrows and shot the haystacks with only wooden poles.

Now the Ming Dynasty is in a critical situation, and there are also additional tests for riding and shooting in the Wenju exam, but if you don’t hit the shot, it will not affect your passing. It is considered an additional bonus.

Zhang Huangyan was very satisfied with this new policy this year. He was so excited that he would occasionally call Chen Shuren to exercise and compete. Only Gu Yanwu was unable to tie a chicken and would not participate in such activities.

Chen Shuren had a good exercise in his previous life. He went to special sports venues to ride horses and shoot archers, so it was not unfamiliar to take a bow and arrow.

However, the bows and arrows in later generations all had professional arrows and sights, but the bows of the Ming Dynasty were bare. It took him several days to adapt to this traditional bow.

Zheng Sen was born in a martial arts family, so shooting archery was no problem. However, he was too young and had a loss of strength, so he could only use a soft bow and light arrow. After a few days of competition, Zheng Sen became more and more impressed by Zhang Huangyan and Shen Shuren. Unexpectedly, among these Suzhou literati, he could also choose such skillful talent in shooting skills.

After arriving in Nanjing, Zhang Huangyan and Gu Yanwu did not need to be admitted to prison. They came to take the exam and went to Qinhuai River on their own. They first looked for fellow villagers to continue their cultural associations and explore news about the provincial examination.

Zheng Sen went directly to the Imperial College, certified his identity, and waited for the Imperial College to apply for his academic record.

Wu Weiye, the newly appointed Imperial College Supervisor, had already received a greeting from Mr. Yang in advance. When he knew about this, he naturally did not refuse and helped to complete the procedures as quickly as possible.

Because Zheng Sen came to Nanjing two or three years earlier than in history, he was supposed to be a disciple of Qian Qianyi, but by chance he was appointed as his disciple of Wu Weiye in this life.

After getting off the boat, Shen Shuren could not go through the naturalization procedures immediately. He had to handle the interrogation of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice.

After the review of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice was completed, his innocence was completely confirmed. It took another seven or eight days, and it was delayed until mid-July in a blink of an eye.

After the Nanjing Ministry of Justice closed the case completely, Chen Shuren took all the materials and went to the Imperial College to pay a visit to Wu Weiye.

Wu Weiye read his resume and the previous invitation letter, and he was also a little confused.

"Looking at this Shen Shuren's resume, I was afraid that my knowledge would not be solid when I was in Suzhou. Although Mr. Yang took care of him and allowed him to be imprisoned, the situation has changed now. After all, he has caused a lawsuit. I wonder if Mr. Yang knows the latest situation? If he knew about it, will Mr. Yang still ask for the same handling?"

After Wu Weiye closed the materials, he carefully considered the words and used as euphemism as possible to express his meaning to Chen Shuren.

That attitude is like a later public servant who asked someone to issue a "proof of no criminal record".

Chen Shuren was so insightful that he could understand Wu Weiye’s subtext in just a few words.

In fact, he also filed this, and he wished Wu Weiye was like this.

So, Chen Shuren gave Wu Weiye a very comprehensive etiquette: "Students can understand the difficulties of the mountain growing up. This is how you might as well write a letter to you with tactful writing, so that the students can take the opportunity to take it to Hefei and meet Mr. Yang.

After all, the situation changes when times change. At that time, Mr. Yang thought that the students were just innocent people, so he recommended me to prison. Now the situation has changed. What if Mr. Yang doesn’t want to be related to the students?

The student had another job and wanted to report to Mr. Yang, but because he was too little, he was embarrassed to come to the house. With Mr. Wu Shan’s letter, the student asked to see Mr. Yang, and he would be more confident."

Wu Weiye stroked his goatee's beard a few times and thought it was not bad. Anyway, he was only responsible for writing a letter. As for whether Chen Shuren could ask to see Yang Sichang after he received the letter, it was no longer his business.

And he put forward a humble attitude of asking for instructions in everything, but he was always careful and had no big mistakes.

"You are very steady in your work. OK, I will write a book and ask for instructions."

After receiving the letter of introduction, Chen Shuren was very satisfied and went straight from Nanjing to Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture, overnight, and the headquarters of Yang Sichang, the governor of six provinces.

This time he exceeded Yang Sichang's mission and overcame so many additional difficulties that Yang Sichang did not expect at the beginning.

I do things so beautifully, wouldn’t it be a waste if I don’t take the opportunity to report to the boss and show my face to ask for a favor?

Originally, he was afraid that Yang Sichang would like to show off his frivolity, but with Wu Weiye's request for advice, everything was so legitimate.

It can only be said that Chen Shuren is very good at doing things and is very good at everything. He inadvertently used Wu Weiye and Yang Sichang at the same time.
