Everything that happened in the Wei Mansion reached Shen Yi'an's ears.

Wei Ling was deposed as prime minister and assistant. After so many years, his merits and demerits were offset, and his faults far outweighed his merits. He was given a glass of poisoned wine, and everyone in the Wei family was exiled to Tianmen Pass as slaves.

This sharp knife cut through the mess, causing the entire Tianwu City to experience a major earthquake.

"finished?"

The news spread throughout the streets and alleys, and even Ye Liyan learned about the fate of the Wei family from Jinxiu and Jinlian.

"not end yet."

Shen Yi'an shook his head. He guessed that the old man was doing one thing by pressing the Wei family to death so quickly. He was taking action to protect the Murong family. The reason for this was that the Murong family must have been injured and suffered a lot of bleeding. The outcome of this move would be better. A trial when all kinds of evidence of guilt are thrown in the face.

"Husband, are you going to the palace soon?" Ye Liyan stretched out her soft and slightly cool hand and placed it on the other person's big hand.

"If you want to come in, the old man is probably already waiting for me."

Shen Yian gently held the opponent's Rouyi and sighed with a smile.

He was now very curious about how much blood the Murong family had lost and whether it was enough.

"Why don't you go after dinner?" Ye Liyan's eyes lit up.

Shen Yian laughed and said, "No, my husband is full of anger."

"Are you angry? Your Majesty, are you angry?" Ye Liyan was startled and said subconsciously.

"Shh, if you say this, you'll get slapped with a cane." Shen Yi'an raised his hand and pinched Ye Liyan's face.

"Then I won't eat either."

Ye Liyan puffed up her little face, her expression was really cute.

When Shen Yian heard this, he pretended to be serious and said, "I will go into the palace later to have some food, why don't you eat?"

"Lose weight, don't want to be called fat by someone."

Ye Liyan turned her face to one side and said coldly.

Yes, this is a grudge.

"Can I apologize to you husband? Don't be angry. My Liyan is not fat at all. Who dares to say you are fat? I will come to you personally to ask for an explanation."

With that said, Shen Yian crawled into Ye Liyan's arms like a baby.

"If you're not doing right, don't tickle me."

Ye Liyan noticed those dishonest hands and almost stood up in excitement.

"Well, it smells good." Shen Yi'an hugged her tighter after hearing this, with a look of enjoyment on her face, which made Ye Liyan's eyes look shy, and she raised her small fist and waved it in the air a few times.

There are so many intrigues out there, everything is fake, only my fragrant and soft wife is real.

Imperial Palace·Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu requests an audience."

The little eunuch knelt at the door and said loudly.

"Ah."

Shen Cangtian, who was sitting at the dining table, nodded slightly, and Zhao Hai on the side shouted hurriedly: "Let His Highness come in."

"My son, I will meet my father."

Soon, Shen Yi'an appeared in the hall carrying a large box.

"No gift."

Shen Cangtian responded and winked at Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai hurriedly clapped his hands twice, and a young eunuch entered the palace carrying various delicacies and carefully placed them on the dining table.

"Have you not had dinner?" Shen Cangtian asked in a gentle tone.

Shen Yi'an lowered his head and said, "Go back to my father, I have eaten enough in the palace."

Seeing this, Shen Cangtian waved his hand and removed the surrounding maids and eunuchs: "Are you angry with me?"

"I don't dare!"

"My son, I came here this time to expose the smuggling case of the Murong family. The Murong family colluded with some ministers in the court to sell some resources and items that were expressly prohibited for sale to the enemy country. This is an unpardonable crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Be punished!"

"My son, I sincerely request my father to thoroughly investigate the smuggling case!"

Shen Yian bowed and opened the big box while bowing, and showed all the smuggling ledgers to Shen Cangtian.

The air in the hall solidified.

There was no sound for a long time, and the silence was terrifying.

Shen Yian took a deep breath, stood up straight, sighed, and asked bluntly: "Father, how much money did the Murong family give you?"

Hearing this, Shen Cangtian raised a hand with five fingers raised.

"Five million taels?" Shen Yian raised an eyebrow. It was indeed a lot, but it wouldn't make the old man...

The next second, Shen Cangtian shook his head in denial.

"Fifty million taels?"

Shen Yian's eyes widened slightly, and he was quite surprised when he said this number.

This number is no less than an astronomical figure. Even if the Bei'an Chamber of Commerce wants to raise 50 million taels of silver, they don't know how many things they have to sell to raise it. The Murong family is not suffering from heavy bleeding, but from cramps and skin peeling after bloodletting. , quite miserable, but he felt it was not miserable enough.

For my old man, 50 million taels is enough to do many, many things, especially in the battle against the barbarian country, the chance of winning will be greatly increased on the original basis.

"As much as the Murong family has eaten over the years, I will let them vomit twice as much. Are you satisfied?"

Shen Cangtian put down his hand and looked directly into Shen Yian's eyes.

"It's just money. If it's gone, you can make more. If your life is gone, there's nothing left." Shen Yian couldn't help but sneer.

Shen Cangtian laughed and said, "Are you not satisfied?"

"How dare I be dissatisfied with my father's decision?"

Shen Yi'an lowered his head. If the Murong family only paid 50 million taels of silver, he would certainly not be satisfied. If he wanted pain, he would have to make the other party suffer unforgettable pain. As he said just now, the money was gone and he could earn it again. .

With the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce's ability to attract money, as long as the Murong family is more ruthless and exploits the merchants below, it will be enough to earn another 50 million in three or four years, provided that they still have three or four years left.

"Let me ask you, is Murong Lianshan in your hands?" Shen Cangtian asked again.

"Murong Lianshan? Heavenly Sword? Didn't he attack Wei Zaifu and then fled? How could he be here with Erchen?"

Shen Yi'an chose to pretend to be dumbfounded and insisted that he had no knowledge of the matter.

Shen Cangtian glared at him angrily and said calmly: "I thought you were so powerful that you could help me catch him."

"Father, I'm very complimentary. That's the famous Heavenly Sword. How can I, my son, be so capable of catching it?"

Shen Yian apologized and said with a smile, he understood that the old man's attitude was acquiescence.

"Humph."

Shen Cangtian snorted coldly, and then said: "The Zuiyue Tower case involves many things. The person behind it is the Wei family who hired murderers. Wei Ling has been sentenced to death by me, and the entire Wei family has been exiled. Once he dies, this murder will The position of assistant is now vacant, and I want to hear your thoughts."

Shen Yian frowned, guessing that the old man would ask this question, but luckily he thought about how to answer it in advance.

"Back to my father, you know that I am usually weak and sick, and often suffer from wind and cold, so I cannot go to court often. The Prime Minister and Assistant are your right-hand men and should always be by your side to assist you. I am afraid that my body will not be able to do the job. ”

Zhao Hai's eyes widened after hearing this. Only His Highness the King of Chu dared to answer this question.

Shen Cangtian almost laughed out loud after hearing this. This brat thought of himself quite well and asked with a smile: "Do you want to be the Prime Minister?"

"I don't dare to deceive my father, I don't want to be a son!" Shen Yi'an bowed and closed the big box.

His eyes fell on the dining table and he changed the topic: "Father, this food is almost cold, and there are so many dishes. I am afraid that I and my father will not be able to finish them all. Why don't we call them eldest brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother too?" Come."

Shen Cangtian looked strange: "Aren't you full?"

"My son, I was hungry just now."

Zhao Hai deliberately reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is in retreat and may not be able to come to the banquet."

Shen Cangtian glared at Shen Yian again and said to Zhao Hai: "Then call Lao Wu and the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
