"The matter ends at Dongcheng."

With these words, Minister Fan was bowing his head to Shen Yi.

But not for himself.

He comes from a well-to-do family and is a second-ranked Jinshi. He has been an official for so many years. Although he has inevitably relied on some of the Fan family's connections and financial resources, the fact that a top-class Jinshi can reach the position of the Sixth Minister of the Sixth Division shows that Fan You has absolutely no ability. What's the problem?

Even when Shen Yi went to check on this person, he didn't find any corruption or official stain on him.

Moreover, even if he was demoted and became an inspector, he was still a third-grade provincial official, in charge of the criminal title of a province, and he could still be regarded as a deputy-level feudal official.

Shen Yi cannot threaten a person of this level.

He was bowing to Shen Yi for the Fan family in Jiangdu.

As a former Minister of Justice, he knew very well that Shen Yi was checking the Fan family.

It was precisely for this reason that Fan You, who had always been calm, was eager to attack Shen Yi, and even sent people to arrest Xu Fu in a panic and had him tortured.

Because Fan You knows very well that he has no flaws, but the Fan family in Jiangdu...

There are flaws all over.

The Fan family is a scholarly family. Apart from him, Fan Tong, there are about two or three people who are serving as officials in the court, but most of them are small officials who are not worthy of being on the stage. As the pillar of the Fan family, Mrs. Fan Tong knows that there are more than 100 people in the family. How did these hectares of land come about?

You must know that although the Fan family was a big family in Jiangdu ten years ago, the family's land did not exceed fifty hectares. In the past ten years, especially since he became the Minister of Justice, the Fan family's fields, properties and assets have They are all expanding rapidly, and the expansion speed is frighteningly fast.

This speed of asset expansion is certainly abnormal.

Because Fan Tong is in the Ministry of Punishment, the Fan family is not too cautious in doing things. As long as they do a little research, it is estimated that none of the gentlemen of the Fan family in Jiangdu will be able to escape guilt. If they are more ruthless, they will probably be punished. Confiscate property.

By the time…

Not only will Fan Shilang lose his foundation, but he himself will also be affected. He may be demoted again and again because of this incident, and he may even lose his official status.

Shen Sizheng smiled and took a sip of tea.

"It seems that Minister Fan's words should not be spoken to a junior like me."

Shen Yi's price is too low. In theory, he is not qualified to talk to Fan You directly, because as a member of Ganquan Academy, he, Shen Yi, has no say in many things now.

Fan Tong took a deep breath and looked a little ugly: "I went to see Zhao Shangshu."

He tried to calm down his tone: "He doesn't want to see me."

Shen Yi put down his tea cup and said expressionlessly: "Because the Fan family has wanted to dig up the roots of our academy more than once."

"Only one time."

Fan Tong's breathing quickened, but soon returned to normal. He silently put the tea cup hanging in mid-air back on the table, and then looked at Shen Yi.

"Jiangdu's strict etiquette cheated when he took the county examination. It was Dongcheng Lududu. The Fan family has always had evidence of his cheating. If Fan wanted to use this matter to make a fuss, he would have filed a document with him. The Ministry of Rites has gone."

Fan Shilang is very thin and has slender fingers. Now his fingers are a little pale and trembling slightly.

"Fan is also from Jiangdu. If he hadn't been sent to Jiankang by his family when he was young, Fan would have gone to Ganquan Academy."

He looked at Shen Yi silently: "The Fan family has always admired the academy. When Dongcheng made a mistake, the Fan family punished him severely. The Fan family has never wanted to go against the academy!"

"Even this time, Shen Sizheng, you sent people to Jiangdu to investigate the Fan family, and the two sides were already at odds with each other, but Fan did not bring up Yan Mingli's incident!"

He groaned.

"Fan just wants to pull you, Shen Sizheng, from your position as Sizheng, the newspaper secretary, and prevent you from continuing to send people to investigate in Jiangdu..."

Speaking of this, Fan Tong showed an unnatural expression on his face. He took a sip of tea silently and said in a somewhat obscure voice: "To be honest, until now, I haven't figured out what the beggar from Jiangdu who followed him to Jiankang was. My son, how could he suddenly become the nephew of Eunuch Gao in the palace? How could he attract the attention of the palace? How could he..."

"How could it affect His Majesty..."

During the court meeting, several prime ministers and several officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were originally planning to fine Fan Tong and then mark him down during the inspection in Beijing. However, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor personally expressed his intention to Only by strictly handling the affairs of the Ministry of Justice will Fan Shilang be removed from his position as Minister of Justice.

When several prime ministers from Zhongshu saw that they could not save him, they kicked him to the ground together with three officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

This thing is so magical.

A little-known businessman, who in the eyes of the official was just a nobody digging in the dust, actually stirred up the situation in the capital in just a few days and brought down a big boss with the rank of Sixth Minister. !

Not to mention that Fan You himself couldn't figure it out, other people in the court, including Zhao Changping, might not be able to figure it out.

Even Xu Fu himself might be a little confused about this matter.

Only the big boss in the palace, the big eunuch, and Shen Yi could figure out the cause and effect of this matter.

However, this kind of thing cannot be talked about outside.

People with big mouths are most likely to die.

Naturally, Shen Yi couldn't say it. He smiled at Fan You and said, "Shilang Fan, things are so coincidental sometimes. How do you know that the beggar begging for food in Jiangdu cannot be Eunuch Gao's nephew?"

"even though…"

Fan Tong's eyes were full of reluctance: "A high eunuch may not have such great ability to make His Majesty make up his mind to rectify the Ministry of Punishment..."

"Even now, you still can't understand, Mr. Fan."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said calmly: "In the final analysis, it's still because of Fan Dongcheng."

"After losing the battle on the front line, His Majesty himself is unhappy with the Zhao family. However, Fan Dongcheng is still so close to the Zhao family. He even almost walked with the daughter of the Zhao family. He is arrogant and domineering in Jiming Temple."

He pointed to his nose and said solemnly: "He even hit me."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has already made a note to your Fan family. It's just that you, Mr. Fan, didn't make any mistakes before and couldn't find the reason for it."

After saying this, Shen Yi stood up from the tea table, and while asking the waiter to pay the bill, he smiled at Fan You and said: "Fan Shilang, you have also passed the examination step by step from a boy student, a student member to a scholar, so you should I know that at this time, there are many things that I, a student of the academy, have no say in, and only the elders of the academy have to say."

"You were so sick that you went to the doctor."

Fan Tong stood up, his face pale: "The people from Jiangdu are obviously from your newspaper department..."

"The Diji Newspaper Division has no judicial power, nor the right to report rumors. Whether or not to investigate is of no use. The key is to look at the elders of my academy."

Shen Yi cupped his hands towards Fan You and said with a smile: "Servant Fan, the root cause of the matter is no longer with Shen. You have found the wrong person."

After saying this, Shen Yi took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the waiter next to him. He turned around and left without even asking for change.

Fan Shilang sat alone on the tea table, silent.

At this time, he wanted to strangle his eldest nephew to death.

really want.

It's a pity that even strangulation to death is of no use now.

Minister Fan silently poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank, as if drinking wine.

He looked in the direction of Jiangdu and sighed longly: "Brother, the son you gave birth to may not kill me, but it will drag you and our Fan family into a state of eternal destruction... "

After saying this, he recalled the time when he wrote a letter back to Jiangdu and asked his brother to arrange for Fan Dongcheng to enter Ganquan Academy and find a way to pursue the daughter of the Lu family.

At that time, Fan Tong wanted to form a good relationship with Ganquan Academy. After all, he was also from Jiangdu and was naturally close to Ganquan Academy.

I just didn't expect it, just because of this thought...

Things have gotten to where they are today step by step.

"One drink and one peck are all predestined..."

Fan Shilang stood up and strode towards his sedan chair, his steps staggering a bit.

He felt very desolate.

Because he knew very well that the Fan family in Jiangdu was already on the edge of the cliff...

………………

Shen Yi felt very happy.

He has been suppressed by the Fan family and Fan Shilang for too long.

In the past, when he faced the Fan family, he could only do his best to protect himself and hide whenever he could. Even after Jiankang was defeated by the Juren family, when he saw Fan Dongcheng, he still avoided whenever he could.

Even if he later gets Jinshi and meets Fan Dongcheng at Jiming Temple, there is no good solution.

but now!

The pillar of the Fan family, a third-rank official in the imperial court, and a serious official in the court came to bow to him!

In fact, Shen Yi didn't tell the truth just now.

Although he is a junior in Ganquan Academy, he is a party to this matter, and he can speak to the two elders!

After all, he will soon become Mr. Lu’s son-in-law!

As long as he opened his mouth and said that the matter was over, even Zhao Changping would not say anything more. After all, he also wanted to give Mr. Lu some face.

However, Shen Yi rejected Fan You mercilessly!

This feeling is so great!

It made him feel like he was exhaling the pent-up energy in his chest.

But this is just the beginning. Soon, he will be able to return to Jiangdu to settle Hongde's five-year old accounts on behalf of Chen Qing and Jiangdu's Shen Yi.

After being excited for a while, Shen Yi slowly calmed down.
To be continued...
