Chapter 282 Inside and Outside the Palace (40) Shen Mansion Conspiracy
To the south of Mingyu Square and to the west of Guangji Temple, the Shen University Scholar's Mansion located here is emitting a strange light in the snow.
Candlelight has been lit in the study room in the inner courtyard of the bachelor's residence. The glass window from Jinghua is blocked by a beige curtain. Looking in from the outside, only the upper bodies of three figures can be seen.
One of them was sitting alone, and the other two were sitting in the guest seats opposite. The movements of the three of them were very small. Except for the slight movement of their jaws from time to time, the three of them were almost still.
In the study, the person sitting alone is Shen Yiguan, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Sitting opposite him, at the guest table, is Qian Menggao, a criminal from the criminal department who once appeared in Guangjinfang, and the other is very
The person he met was a young man wearing a navy blue t-shirt.
This young man has a tall and tall figure and has never grown a beard. When he came to see the bachelor, he actually had a wild goose feather sword hanging on his waist. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.
At this time, Shen Yiguan had a stern face and asked indifferently: "How long have they been gone?"
"Returning to Enxiang, I have been gone for nearly four hours." Qian Menggao replied.
"Is it too late?" Shen Yiguan asked again.
Qian Menggao replied: "One person and three horses will not delay important events."
"Is there anything unusual in the Nanning Marquis Mansion?"
"Nothing happened." Qian Menggao replied, but after a pause, he added with a slight hesitation: "However, Gao Guoyan went to the Hou Mansion in the evening."
Shen Yiguan frowned slightly, glanced at the young man, and asked: "Gao Guoyan seems to have been to Nanning Houfu many times in recent days. Do you know the reason?"
The young man had an expressionless face and said calmly: "It's the end of the new year, and Jinghua Bank is checking its accounts. I'm afraid the bank's account books have been checked several times in the past few days."
Shen Yiguan frowned and asked again: "Is this the case in previous years?"
This time the young man thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I was busy in previous years, but there were usually only two audits at the end of the year. This year's audits seem to be extremely strict."
Shen Yiguan immediately changed his expression and asked Qian Menggao: "Is the money from Suzhou in Jinghua Bank?"
"This...yes." Qian Menggao was horrified by Enxiang and quickly explained: "But Enxiang, the amount transferred this time is so huge. Except for Jinghua Bank, there is no other bank in Jingshi that can easily
To pay, so I can only...have no choice."
"Idiot!" Shen Yiguan suddenly became angry, but lowered his voice and cursed: "Do you think this cabinet is angry that you have added business to Jinghua Bank? What a joke, this cabinet is such a careless person!
The reason why this cabinet is angry is because even though Jinghua Bank has made tens of millions of dollars over the years, it has never suddenly handled such huge sums of money in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It would be strange if Gao Guoyan was not surprised if you did this. But once Gao Guoyan sees this situation
Report to Gao Rixin..."
When Shen Yiguan said this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppress his anger, and said word by word: "With Gao Rixin's cunning and suspiciousness, how can he not suspect that there is something wrong!"
Qian Menggao subconsciously shrank his head, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes, En Xiang taught me that, but... even if Gao Rixin had doubts, these banknotes did not come from one household, but from one to another.
They come from more than 170 families, and the amount of banknotes transferred by each family is also very different, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of dollars.
The student thinks that under such circumstances, no matter how good Gao Rixin is in calculation, he will not be able to figure out the reason at once, so please be assured."
"Don't worry? Humph, that's easy to say." Shen Yiguan narrowed his triangular eyes and said coldly: "Don't you hear Su Dongpo said, 'If you are cautious, you will succeed, if you act lightly, you will fail'?"
Qian Menggao was speechless, or maybe even though he knew the truth, the matter had reached this point and it was pointless to argue, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
Seeing him like this, Shen Guanyi knew that he was dissatisfied and lectured: "After the victory in the war against Yuan Dynasty, Gao Rixin had already gained a great reputation. When he returned triumphantly from Korea, he returned to Han Dynasty for another three thousand miles for our Ming Dynasty.
, in the imperial court, in the army and among the people, his achievements and prestige are so high that he can be said to be in the sky.
But even so, from what you can see, is Gao Rixin arrogant? No, not even a little bit! What do you think this behavior means?"
Qian Menggao lowered his head to listen to the instruction and said: "Students are stupid, but they still look for help."
"It's just a matter of choosing one of the two." Shen Yiguan said coldly: "Either, Gao Rixin's virtue is close to that of a saint, and fame and wealth are no longer in his immediate mind. He only wants to be named Wenzheng in the future and worshiped in the Confucius Temple; or Gao Rixin is a great person.
Treachery is like loyalty, and what he does is just to gain a wide reputation for virtue, so that if the weather changes in the future, he can follow the example of reckless rebellion!"
Qian Menggao was shocked when he heard this and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Shen Yiguan ignored him, but changed the topic and said: "The Duke of Zhou was afraid of the rumor, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the truth in his life? If someone like Gao Rixin hadn't come,
Virtue is the ultimate evil.
If he is the most virtuous, then that's it. In this case, the dispute between practical learning and mental learning is just another orthodox dispute like the rise of Wangxue after Cheng and Zhu. But if he is the most traitor... then what we are doing now is
This is the right way for people to serve and the world is right!
However, is it easy for the most treacherous people? As the saying goes, "It is necessary to guard against the smallest things, and it is impossible not to worry about the far things." Since we are the enemy of Gao Rixin, we must be on guard against the smallest things, take precautions, and be cautious in everything, otherwise... Shen, Wang Ergong
The story will no longer depend on you and me."
Qian Menggao had no choice but to listen to this reprimand, but the young man on the side, who did not know his identity, actually disagreed with Shen Yiguan's preaching.
He did not wait for Qian Menggao to say something like "Thank you for teaching me a lesson" again. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Shen Ge, you always have to teach your disciples a lesson, you can do it slowly behind closed doors."
, but right now, I’m afraid it’s more important to get down to business.
If you have any other instructions, please tell me as soon as possible, so that I can report back as soon as possible, so as not to miss something important... Look, it's already this time, and it's not easy for me to go back, isn't it?"

He paused for a moment and then said: "Those herbs from last time are commonly used in medicinal diets in Lingnan. They are perfect for cultivating the body. You just need to strictly follow the proportions provided by our department."
Add it to your meals and it will have miraculous effects over time.
As for the Central Palace, I have my own arrangements, so I don’t need you to worry about it. However, the capital is tyrannical, and Xinzheng is the home base of the Gao family. How sure are the people you provided that they can be successful?"
"Those people sent this time... I'm probably 30% sure." The young man said calmly.
Shen Yiguan's eyes were focused, and his words were solemn: "Only 30%? Are you entertaining our department? It seems that our department needs to remind you... Although this matter is important to us, it is not
It is necessary, but for you, it is a matter of life and death."
"There is no need for Mr. Ge to remind you of this. I and... naturally know it." The young man smiled softly and said calmly: "But Mr. Ge, do you think that based on Nanning Hou's power over the years, we would actually do this?"
Indifferent and unprepared?"
"You mean..." Shen Yiguan rolled his eyes, thoughtfully.
"Although the Gao family is a noble family, there are already many servants and maids in the family, but Nanning Houcai is so powerful and has risen so fast, how can the original servants and maids be enough? What's more, he is used to it.
He uses his servants to control the military and political affairs in various parts of southern Xinjiang, and at the same time, he always marries his maids to these servants. As a result, the most loyal and reliable Gao family children in his hands are naturally not enough.
When there are not enough people, more people have to be recruited. When Nanning is out of town, people can be used according to their talents. However, the Gao family cherishes their feathers the most in their hometown in Xinzheng, and most of the people they recruit are locals from Henan.
It just so happens that Henan has been plagued by disasters in the past few years. Many of the refugees who have been affected by the disaster know that the Gao family is famous for being the so-called Zhongzhou Defan, so they often bring their families to seek refuge. The Gao family is really fond of these people.
Excellent, it can even be said that we collected everything we needed and tried our best to protect it.
But because of this, it is much more convenient for us to put some people in there. Although there are really too many victims who have taken refuge with the Gao family, many of them will be arranged by the Gao family in the properties of Henan and even surrounding provinces after being taken in.
But as long as you are willing to spend money and cast a wide net, there will always be some smart people who can stay in Xinzheng, right?"
Shen Yiguan understood now and suddenly said: "So you have already made arrangements in Xinzheng? Okay, very good, then I will feel relieved. As expected... Oh, I have one more question."
The young man seemed very satisfied with Shen's consistent attitude. He nodded and said: "Such a big matter requires the full cooperation of both you and me. It's okay for Mr. Shen to ask."
"Well..." Shen Yiguan muttered: "I heard that Gao Rixin's Nalong Wenya Garden was well-defended. In the past, there were refugees who caused trouble, and tens of thousands of people went to 'beg for food'. It eventually turned into an attack, but was eventually defeated.
A group of troops sent from Longwen Yayuan were easily defeated.
Such tyrannical force must not only be used on the battlefield, but the internal guards may not be inferior on weekdays. If these people you have deployed can only pry out some information, but do not have any special means,
I'm afraid that either I won't be able to fulfill my order, or I'll miss it and be captured after accomplishing my order... This is a big risk."
This time, the young man was silent for a moment, but finally he spoke: "To be honest with Mr. Ge, when these people were originally arranged there, they really had no intention of letting them do this arrangement.
However, Elder Ge does not need to worry too much. After all, they have been trained for many years in some common methods of taking human lives, and they are not familiar with them.
In addition, the people sent there this time are all veterans, and many of them have been doing this for generations. As long as the two groups of people work together, they can always find a foolproof method.
Besides, no matter how tight the defense of Longwen Yayuan is, it can't reach the level of Nanning Hou Mansion. It has never encountered such a thing in the past, how can it really be watertight? Don't worry, Mr. Ge, as long as Nanning Hou Mansion
If there is no change here and no warning to Xinzheng, this matter will definitely be accomplished."
Shen Yiguan didn't know whether he was relieved or not, but he nodded anyway and did not continue to ask questions.
On the contrary, the young man pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Shen Ge, although you and I have made an agreement before, although both parties work together and try not to interfere with each other's actions, you should also know that we are most concerned about
Things...what we are doing right now is a major matter of confiscating families and exterminating families, and I have told you almost everything I can, do you think?"
Shen Yiguan glanced at him and said: "Is there any room for regret for what I have done? Humph... You are not easy to move inside, and I am not easy to move outside. There are only two sides.
Only through close cooperation can such a big drama be sung and performed flawlessly.
As for the result you requested, since I have agreed to it, I can naturally achieve it. Of course, I also know that you are worried that Li Wenjin’s goal is too big, but... Haha, if his goal is not big, then
How is it possible to attract Gao Rixin’s attention?”
"Oh?" Not only was the young man not surprised after hearing this, but he seemed to have confirmed something. He smiled and said, "So, Mr. Ge, you have prepared another move? Haha, if Mr. Ge is willing to give me some information, I will go back next time.
It would be nice to have something to say later, which can make...at ease, don't you think?"
Seeing that he was still entangled and refusing to let go, Shen Yiguan felt very disgusted. After all, this was different from the terms negotiated before. But now, both parties were already on the ropes and had to make a move. Shen Yiguan was too lazy to care about it, so he planned to make some mistakes.
tone of voice.
So he sighed softly and said: "You should know that you should not ask any more about this matter, but I am not a person who cares about everything. Let me say one more thing today: you are not the only one who wants to take this son's life.
One family.”

This is really interesting. However, there must be some things that the family has not yet figured out, don’t you think so, Mr. Shen Ge?"
Shen Yiguan smiled slightly: "The sword is on the neck. No matter whether you think about it or not, you have to do what you have to do, right?"
"That's right, that's right, it's Mr. Shen's opinion." The young man responded with a smile, stood up at the same time, and finally asked: "Mr. Shen, do you have anything else to explain to me? If not, then I'll take my leave.
"
"Okay, okay, the matter is so urgent, I won't stay here any longer." Shen Yiguan said, actually getting up and planning to see him off.
Although the young man had been acting quite calmly just now, seeing that Shen Guangyuan had planned to send him off in person, he did not dare to act and quickly waved his hand to stop him.
Shen Guanyi insisted on sending him to the door of the study, then turned around and sat down in the room. However, he pondered for a moment and then said to Qian Menggao: "For Gao Rixin, we must be very energetic.
Therefore, the audit of Jinghua Bank must not be ignored...
Immediately contact the people who were previously in Zhangde Mansion and ask them to immediately find a way to rob and kill the Jinghua Cavalry who went south without escorting the goods! Tell them that as long as they do this well, any traces they left in the past will be removed.
This cabinet will help them cancel it all!"
