How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Go to the Tianshou Mountain Imperial Mausoleum to find Feng Lixin?

After Lu Wenzhao received the errand, he walked out of the palace with a worried look on his face.

"My lord has come out. Haha, why are you worried?"

Shen Lian, who was also promoted to Jin Yiwei Zuozhen Fusi Qianhu, was waiting at the door.

Seeing Master Lu looking like this, I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Wenzhao got on his horse and glanced at Shen Lian but did not answer.

I don't know if he didn't hear it, or he was too lazy to pay attention, so he shouted in a low voice.

"Shen Lian, follow me! Everyone else should go back to the Yamen and wait for orders."

Then, he quickly left with the horse under his belly.

Shen Lian was stunned, so he had to dismiss a few of his subordinates and follow him alone.

At the same time, there was a feeling of emotion in my heart.

these past few years.

The other party paid more and more attention to him. Not only did he promote himself to the rank of Jinyiwei Qianhu, he also promoted several brothers as well.

Others are always curious as to why Lu Wenzhao, a popular figure in the eyes of nine thousand years old, is so close to Shen Lian, who has nothing to do with him.

Perhaps only Shen Lian understands.

During the Battle of Saarhu, if he had not sacrificed his life to save Lu Wenzhao, Lu Wenzhao would have died at the hands of Jiannu.

But is this really the case?

There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hate without reason.

The life-saving grace has been repaid long ago.

In the past few years, the other party has given him hints many times, seeming to want Shen Lian to meet a certain big shot behind him and completely worship the portal.

Whose family do you want to worship?

Definitely not an eunuch.

Under the control of Wei Zhongxian, Jin Yiwei has long been his bloodiest butcher. No one knows that Jin Yiwei is a vicious dog that is nine thousand years old.

It must be other forces.

But after Lu Wenzhao tested him many times, Shen Lian always pretended to be stupid and was unwilling to hand over his wealth and life just like that.

Gradually, Lu Wenzhao seemed to lose his patience and began to become cold towards Shen Lian.

Shen Lian knew in his heart that the other party would either give up completely or force him to express his position.

Hey!

What should I do then?

Are you changing families with Lu Wenzhao?

Or sever ties and turn against one another?

The other party is his immediate boss, and if he turns against him, his life may be in danger.

But if the family changes, who knows who will be in charge later.

In this way, Shen Lian followed Lu Wenzhao through the city with a complicated mentality.

He originally thought that the other party was going to ride out of the city, but unexpectedly he turned a corner not far from the city gate.

"Xu..."

Lu Wenzhao stopped his horse and stopped in front of a pawn shop.

The pawnshop is called Heshengkui, and it is a shop opened by a well-known Shanxi merchant in Kyoto.

Not only this pawn shop, but also a dental shop, a bank account, a restaurant, and a hotel. He Shengkui has branches in Kyoto, and he is considered a famous wealthy businessman in Tianqi.

Shen Lian didn't know why Lu Wenzhao suddenly stopped in front of his house.

"brother!"

Lu Wenzhao looked at the shop sign, tilted his head while riding his horse and thought for a moment, then took out a few taels of silver from his arms and threw it over.

Shen Lian took it: "What's the matter, sir?"

Lu Wenzhao grinned: "Go, help me go to the pawn shop to redeem something. This is for redemption of silver. I've been suffering from severe back pain recently and I'm too lazy to get off my horse."

Ok?

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, looking at the few taels of silver in his hand and feeling dumbfounded.

You, a dignified Jinyiwei Zhenfu envoy and a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, actually pawned things in a pawnshop because you were short of money?

How can this be.

Not to mention anything else, the Donglin Party members that have been raided in the past two years are enough to make you rich.

Besides, what kind of thing is it worth? It only costs a few taels of silver.

Is it funny?

Seeing that Shen Lian was still in a daze, Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but urge him.

"Go quickly."

"……Yes!"

Shen Lian had no choice but to get off his horse and bow to ask.

"Sir, I don't know if there is a receipt. I can't just go in and redeem something with my humble words."

Lu Wenzhao sneered: "What kind of bill? Just tell them that it belongs to Lu Wenzhao, the governor of Jinyiwei. If they don't want to die, take it out immediately!"

Shen Lian was speechless again, and seemed to understand that Lu Wenzhao was probably here to rob him.

He felt bored, and without saying anything, he walked into the pawn shop with his head held high and the embroidered spring knife in his waist.

But he didn't see that Lu Wenzhao behind him was looking at his back blankly, sighing quietly.

After Shen Lian walked in, there were no customers in the pawn shop. There was only an old shopkeeper who was busy making calculations inside.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head slightly and saw an adult from Qianhu wearing a Feiyu suit. He was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Ouch! I don't know... I don't know which Lord from Qianhu is here. The little old man has missed the welcome, and sometimes missed the welcome. It is a capital crime, it is really a capital crime..."

The old shopkeeper hurriedly walked out of the cubicle and kept bowing to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian smiled and tried to keep his face gentle.

"My name is Shen Lian, and I am from Jinyiwei Zuozhen Fusi Qianhu. I have been ordered by my family to redeem some things."

As he spoke, he spread out a few taels of broken silver in his hand and couldn't help but blush.

The total is less than two taels, what can I redeem for it?

The old shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect it. After seeing the silver in Shen Lian's hand, he didn't take it in a hurry, but hesitantly asked.

"I don't know...I don't know who Master Shen Qianhu is..."

Shen Lian frowned and reluctantly said three words.

"Lu Wenzhao."

As soon as the three words were spoken, the old shopkeeper's face could be seen changing again and again. He realized that he had lost his composure and returned to smiling.

He took the scattered silver coins from Shen Lian's hand and nodded slightly.

"I understand, little old man. Please wait a moment, Master Shen."

After saying that, he motioned to Shen Lian to sit down and drink some tea, and then quickly walked into the back hall.

Shen Lian didn't sit down, let alone drink the tea, and still stood in the lobby holding the embroidered spring knife.

At the same time, the greasy feeling in his heart made him more and more uncomfortable.

Witnessing Lu Wenzhao's robbery with your own eyes, has Jin Yiwei's claws extended into the common people?

This is really enough work.

If he hadn't inherited the official position of Jinyiwei from his father and couldn't quit easily, he would have resigned and run away.

The Wanli Dynasty could still tolerate it, but in recent years this situation has become more and more obvious.

Especially when he saw with his own eyes the tragic death of the six gentlemen of Donglin in prison, the appearance of the six men before their death could not be dissipated in Shen Lian's heart for a long time.

These were the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, and they died in the hands of the eunuchs.

And although I, Shen Lian, did not participate in the persecution, I cannot escape the blame.

Lu Wenzhao, who has been following him now, has also begun to use any means necessary.

The weak fire in Shen Lian's heart began to extinguish gradually.

It's time to think of a reason and leave Jinyiwei.

Even if he is transferred to the frontier army and dies in battle, it is better than being the accomplice of a tiger.

While Shen Lian was thinking about it, he didn't notice that the old shopkeeper had actually walked out.
