Sheng Shian

After the turmoil of the case was over, the people in the government office were sent by Shen Shi to collect evidence and put it into the warehouse. There was only kindness and kindness left in the hall, waiting for a man with a slender wrist, his head closed and his eyes closed.

Shen turned his eyes to look at Liu Changze. He didn't want to face his former students with this image, and he felt a sense of homelessness and timidity.

After a moment of silence in the hall, Shen Shi got up and straightened his clothes, walked up to Liu Changze and cupped his hands and said, "Chongming has been a few months, and the Marquis sent someone to take care of it. I am very grateful."

Liu Changze still didn't open his eyes, and tapped the edge of the wicker chair with two fingers alternately, he said in a toneless tone: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just to save face for the Taifu."

Shen has a complicated face, but this is still him.What's more, it's really for Taifu's face, why did he come here: "I don't know why Lord Hou came to Chongming?"

I'm afraid it wasn't because of his words, he really led the army to suppress the bandits.

Liu Changze opened his eyes and patted the hem of his thigh. He stood up, looked down at Shen Shi, took out a memorial from the cuffs wrapped in dark red and black gold, threw it into Shen Shi's hand and said, "Departure tomorrow."

Shen Shi opened the notebook and was dumbfounded.

The Holy Majesty praised him for his loyalty, diligence, wisdom, hard work, and amazing talent, so he was promoted to be the fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing, and he was sent to welcome him back to Beijing...

Just kidding, Liu Changze would condescend to welcome him, a ninth-rank sesame official, back to Beijing!Either he was dreaming, or Liu Changze was possessed by a ghost. He closed the memorial abruptly and looked up at Liu Changze.

Shen has a similar style of work. He had already turned Liu Changze's heart into dry wood, but now he is also night-blind, and the same familiar eyes fell on Liu Changze's eyes, adding another fire to Liu Changze's internal organs. The pain was unbearable.

"Have you seen enough, Mr. Shen?" Liu Changze spoke slowly, but Yu Yin shivered meekly in fright.

Shen returned to his senses, and suddenly remembered a more important matter. He held the memorial high above his head, and knelt down: "Thanks to the great love of the Holy One, although the official is small, he dare not slack off for a day, and always takes the safety of the people as his own responsibility. Now The disaster of Chongming has not yet ended, and the lower officials have owed the holy grace, so they dare not return to Beijing to take up their duties!"

He dared not take a breath for his kindness, Mr. Shen is amazing, the last one who dared to provoke Lord Hou like this, the grass on his grave would be as tall as him...

Liu Changze folded his arms around his chest, and gradually raised the toe of his black boots, kicking Shen Shi's chest with all his strength, and he shouted: "How dare you resist the order!"

Shen Shi's back was straight, and he was as awe-inspiring as a plum blossom. Even if he was attacked by surprise, he only leaned back, but he knelt upright again, and said solemnly: "But please allow me seven days! The next official will definitely gather people in Chongming The case of selling private salt is completely closed! If it fails, let it be dealt with!"

Salt is a must-have at home.

The government has always been responsible for the exclusive export and the sale of private salt, which is a crime of losing one's head in any dynasty, not to mention today's New Deal, which is mercenary.

Liu Changze's eyebrows were pressed down, and he questioned: "Chongming is a tiny place, if there is such a big event, why no one knows about it!"

Shen Shi asked, "Master Hou, have you ever heard of Dead Water Lake?"

Liu Changze didn't answer.Most stagnant lakes are formed by stagnant water. After long-term exposure and evaporation, the salt content exceeds the standard, thus forming stagnant water.

Shen knew that he understood, and said in a calm manner: "Chongming is clearly full of running water, but it has formed a stagnant lake. The next official searched for the source of the lake, only to find that there are salt mines all over here. Chongming relies on mountains to eat mountains, and relies on water. Drought, the village chiefs are in collusion with the unruly people, and they hide and don't report it, if this goes on and on, it will definitely shake the foundation of our Daqi!"

Liu Changze snorted coldly: "Lord Shen, you can't stop being greedy! You, a newcomer, found out that you, a newcomer, have made a living in Chongming. I'm afraid it wasn't fabricated. Let's add something to your promotion!"

Shen Shi asked loudly: "Could it be that the flood of private salt is what Hou Ye wants to see?! The world is difficult to make money, if Hou Ye doesn't believe it, why don't you go with the officials!"

A gust of wind came through the hall, which not only lifted the black strands of Lord Liu Hou's hair, but also stirred up a pool of still water deep in his heart.

The world is hard to travel, money is used as a horse, and the city of sorrow wants to break wine as an army.Liu Changze, you are very smart.

That was the first sentence Taifu said to him.

Also the first to say he was smart.

The Yamen of the Chongming Mansion was empty, leaving only one sentence: "Let me see what kind of tricks you are playing."

Shen Shi looked at Liu Changze who was leaving, and stretched out his hand to rub his chest. It's unfortunate for the teacher to accept such an unworthy student.If one day his soul leaves his body, he must ask Liu Changze to kneel in the alcove for ten days and a half months in order to relieve his anger.

He didn't have much time, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried to the west warehouse, counted the silver, and there were about five hundred silver at his disposal.

He immediately took 50 taels, went back to his room and took off his official uniform and changed into a straight gown with azurite pigmented face. The majesty of the master comes.

He wanted to go alone, but Liu Changze also changed into an ordinary robe.It didn't lose its brilliance in half, but it added a little bookishness, and the whole person was more dusty.

Liu Changze looked at him outside the door without saying a word.

The corner of Shen's mouth twitched, he really followed, if he had known that he would not be wearing a waist card, the aura of this ancestor was enough to force him to retreat.

Shen Shi said: "Your Majesty... the place you went to may be a bit offensive..."

"lead the way."

Liu Changze looked like he didn't want to listen to his nonsense, Shen blinked his eyes twice, remembering the kick just now, he didn't know what he was holding back.

Shen Shi led him through the narrow path, into a dense forest, and after a while, he saw a boundless lake.

Liu Changze knew it was a stagnant lake when he smelled the salty smell.

Shen Shi pursed his lips, and led him up the lake, until a row of bamboo houses appeared in front of him, simple but elegant.

Shen Shi walked to the third room at the end, and he knocked on the bamboo door in a strange rhythm, repeating it four times.

The bamboo door was pulled open from the inside, and the lingering mist rushed towards the face. A rather beautiful woman said, "Master Shen is here."

Liu Changze understood, and he gave Shen Shi a hard look at the back of his head, confirming that the other party did it on purpose.

Shen smiled even wider.

He waved his hand to signal the woman to step back, and strode in. Inside was a crystal clear natural salt hot spring, and several springs were still gurgling and rolling outwards.

And in the corner, the three men enjoying with their eyes closed, wearing cold white scarves on their heads, are his targets today.

Shen Shi unbuttoned his robe skillfully, and suddenly a man with a Chinese character face jumped out of the water, looked at Liu Changze behind him with salivating eyes, and sighed: "No wonder Mr. Shen usually comes out to soak in the pool alone, and there is such a fairy accompanying him." Now, who would be willing to bring it out..."

Shen Shi took off only his inner white singlet and got into the water. He didn't care what Liu Changze was doing, and said indulgently: "Zhang Lichang, stop joking, he has a low face, so he can't say it."

The other fell down with his elbow, and said in a low voice with a wretched face: "I don't think it's as good as the thin skin and tender meat that I ate last time. This skin is wonderful, but it's too spicy."

A muscular young chief who was wiping sweat with his hands propped on the stone wall sneered and said disgustedly: "It's still Mr. Shen who comes from the capital and knows how to play, and men can also enjoy it."

In order to avoid the pleasure of courting prostitutes, Shen often pushes Shunhe out as a shield, and as time goes by, the reputation of being a good man has spread a lot.There was nothing new in Chongming, all the village chiefs were full of curiosity about the magistrate Shen for a while, and Shen was generous with his actions, so he got mixed into the circle after a while.

Shen Shi smiled and changed the topic and said: "Where are you going to enjoy it? In the cold winter months, soaking in this salt hot spring will soothe your body and prolong your life."

When Chen Lichang talked about this, he smiled a little, his muscles relaxed a little, and he said, "Chongming's *spring is a unique place of relaxation."

The wretched Kong Lichang stroked his chin and said, "Master Shen, why don't you ask the beauty to come down with you."

Shen Shi looked at Liu Changze, who was sitting quietly beside the vermilion lacquer table, lonely and lonely, and felt a chill on the back of his neck.Straightforwardly, he said: "Actually, I'm going to be the host today, and I'm looking for you to come to the village chiefs. I have something to ask for a fortune."

Then, he stood up from the water, walked to the edge of the pool, and reached for the clothes above.A little far away, he stepped on the water again, leaning half of his body out.

The water vapor in the bamboo hut filled Shen Shi's tight and fat-free waist, which was steamed into a light pink color, which was faintly visible in the completely soaked thin white clothes.

From the corner of his eye, Liu Changze involuntarily followed the other party, until it passed the white and delicate area, like a butterfly bone about to spread its wings and fly away at any time.

His eyes darkened, and he picked up the money bag at the side and threw it at Shen Shi.

He thought, does Taifu also have such a pair of butterfly bones?

Shen Shi took it, and through layers of mist, he glanced at him gratefully, his amber eyes glistening with water.

Suddenly, Liu Changze's mouth was a little dry, and he looked indifferently at the seasonal wild berries stuck in the bamboo stick in front of him, picked one up, and put it in his mouth.

Zhang Lichang smiled and said: "Why are you being so polite, Mr. Shen, just start, as long as I, Mr. Zhang, can help, I will definitely use both sides."

Kong Lichang clicked his tongue twice: "Old slippery man, what can you help!"

The young Chief Chen looked at him with disbelief.

Shen Shi asked unmoved: "How much silver can the bandits of the private mine donate to the chiefs in a year?"

Thunder on the ground.

Although these things are tacit in the circle, no one dares to say it publicly.Zhang Lichang and Kong Lichang looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

However, Li Chang Chen was relieved of his honesty. He always hated those twisted and twisted sausages. He said bluntly: "The year difference is five taels, and the year is better than ten taels."

It's hard to say how much water there is, but it is enough to verify that the sink is the weight of the chips.

Shen Shi smiled and threw up the purse: "I have 50 taels in my hand. The three village chiefs only need to help me sweep away the bandits digging the local salt mines for five days. I will give you another 100 taels. What do you think?"

150 taels, at least 50 taels per person.Zhang Lichang immediately blushed and said, "Master Shen, open your mouth, there is something wrong there!"

Kong Lichang said without hesitation: "No more soaking, no more soaking, I will let them withdraw when I go back!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Lichang interrupted loudly: "Five days for five years' harvest, Mr. Shen is so arrogant, I don't believe there is such a thing as pie in the sky, such a good thing will not come to us in vain, right?"
