The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Seeing that Chen Mian's things were a bit short, Chen Jingui asked him to add a few more boxes, but Chen Mian refused.

"Second Uncle, how can that be enough? Isn't it too shabby?" Chen Jingui asked dissatisfied.

Chen Mian knocked on his head and educated him: "What do you think officialdom is, and you can give away whatever you want? Your big cart will only cause trouble for Mr. Shen."

"That's it, let's listen to the second uncle, but if Mr. Shen is struggling, can I subsidize some money to him in private?"

Chen Mian had a strange expression when he heard the words "Master Shen is living in poverty", and he suspected that what his nephew said was not the same person as he said, otherwise how could Shen Shilang be living in poverty?

"Ah Jin, do you really know Lord Shen Jiashen?"

Chen Jingui scratched his hair, and asked uncertainly: "I only heard people call him Mr. Shen, but I really don't know his name. Could it be that the second uncle mentioned it?"

"Shen Jia is the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. If you met him in Tongzhou, he should have been a doctor of the household department at that time. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else."

Chen Jingui told his second uncle when he knew Shen Jia, and the latter thought for a while, and knew that it must be Shen Jia, because Shen Jia and his party were indeed in Tongzhou at that time.

It's just, can a relationship that doesn't even know someone's name be good?Don't just think that his nephew is so hot about shaving his hair, that would be embarrassing.

Standing in the living room of Shen's mansion, Chen Mian looked at Shen Jia's confused expression, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling that his old face was about to burn, but he had to introduce for his nephew, "Master Shen, This is my ineffective nephew, who met you once in Tongzhou, and this time he came to the capital, he specifically said that he would come to visit you."

Shen Jiagang sent Zuo Jiangyi away, and learned that Zhao Zhang had come early in the morning and was playing chess with the old man. He was not planning to come out to meet the guests, but Chen Mian gave him great convenience at work, and he was not good either. Drive people away.

As for the person next to him, he did remember the mention of Tongzhou, that mighty young master of the Chen family.

"Oh, Shen remembered it. It is true that we met once. Please sit down, both of you."

When the servants brought refreshments, Chen Jingui desperately winked at his second uncle, but Chen Mian didn't mention that matter, he only picked two things at work, talked for a while, and then took the initiative to leave.

Shen Jia felt that the two uncles and nephews came in an inexplicable way, and their departure was even more inexplicable, it must have something to do with that young master Chen.

After leaving the Shen residence, Chen Jingui couldn't wait to ask: "Second Uncle, why didn't you mention that matter?"

Chen Mian glared at him, the embarrassment on his face hadn't completely subsided, "Come on, you still know each other, do people remember who you are?"

"How did I know he forgot so quickly, but it doesn't matter, we'll get to know each other after spending two more days together."

Chen Mian laughed out loud at his arrogance, pointed to the door plate of Shen's residence and said, "What kind of place do you think this is? You can enter if you want? Your second uncle and I don't have such a big face."

"Ah? Aren't you his upper peak?"

Chen Mian didn't know how to explain to him, and pushed him into the carriage, "Let's go, go back quickly, don't be ashamed."

When Shen Jia went to the backyard, Zhao Zhang was still playing chess with Mrs. Shen. It could be seen that one was able to do a job with ease, while the other was thinking hard.

He joked with a smile: "Father, why do you make yourself unhappy, who can beat him in chess!"

Old Mrs. Shen gave his son a blank look, and dropped the sunspots on the chessboard, "This is a legitimate match between us, and we can only improve if we compete with masters. You don't like to play chess with me, so I can only invite Xiao Zhao... By the way, Xiao Zhao, did you choose the word? I can’t keep calling you Xiao Zhao Xiao Zhao.”

Every time Shen Jia heard this title, she felt an urge to faint, but Zhao Zhang's name... should be known by all the people in Jin Dynasty, right?On the contrary, few people know the name "Zhao Zhang" because no one has called it.

He hurried up to change the subject, "Father, it's getting late, let's go down another day, I just heard that mother has something to ask you."

"Let's talk about it after this round."

"It's a very important matter." Shen Jia pulled up his father and said, "I'll take care of the rest, so go quickly."

"Really, how could it be so short?" Old Master Shen reluctantly left, and only remembered when he got out of the courtyard, "No, this is the courtyard where I live."

Shen Jia successfully sent the man away, and really sat down to continue playing chess with Zhao Zhang, but unfortunately, his chess style was different from that of Mr. Shen, and he lost everything within a few moves.

Throwing away the chess pieces, Shen Jia leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "Among all the courts, I don't know who is better at chess than you."

Zhao Zhang put away the chess pieces one by one, and said flatly, "I don't know, since I came to the throne, no one has dared to beat me in chess."

"Tsk tsk, you are alone!"

Zhao Zhang looked up at him, and reached out to touch his face, "I have a beautiful wife here, so what kind of lonely family?"

Shen Jia knocked off his hand, moved the chessboard away, leaned over and asked, "Hey, I want to ask you something."

Zhao Zhang nodded and motioned for him to say.

Shen Jia then mentioned Zuo Jiangyi's matter, "Zuo Jiangyi is a young man, but he has a family background and character. In a place like the household department, character is the most important thing, not to mention the year he joined the household department. It's not too short."

Zhao Zhang took the teapot on the side and poured a cup of tea for each of them, took a sip and said, "Zuo Jiangyi, this person is too young, no matter how good his temper is, he can't make up for his shallow experience. It’s inappropriate to make him the target of others’ criticism, why not promote the oldest Yuanwailang, isn’t he also your direct descendant?”

The Accounting Department was established by Shen Jia. Most of the people who were hired at the beginning were selected by him personally. Naturally, he respected him as the master. Even the people who were pushed in by others were conquered by Shen Jia's ability. However, Zuo Jiangyi The one he's closest to and trusts after all.

"It's not bad." Shen Jia felt that his analysis was reasonable, but didn't notice the evil smile that flashed from the corner of Zhao Zhang's mouth.

He continued: "As for Zuo Jiangyi, I think that he can be released for a few years. The real experience should start from a local place. Which one of the elders in the pavilion did not come up step by step? With your protection, he is already better than others." The promotion is faster, but to truly become a talent, you still have to polish it."

Shen Jia agrees with this very much. At the beginning, he wanted to take such a road, and he really learned about people's livelihood in the local government. Shen Jia has been studying since he came to this world. There is still some distance from people's livelihood. If there is a chance to let it out, He also wanted to give it a try, but he might not be willing to leave Zhao Zhang.

"You..." Seeing that he was thinking, Zhao Zhang probably guessed what was on his mind, and opened his mouth to stop his thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

Shen Jia didn't mention it, she held his hand and stood up, "Go back, it's getting late."

After returning to the house, he wrote a letter to Zuo Jiangyi, telling He Yan to send it to him tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, an urgent letter came to Shen's residence. Shen Jia woke up when she heard the movement, and saw Zhao Zhang sitting beside the bed, and a dark guard in black clothes and black trousers was kneeling in the dark room.

Zhao Zhang turned his head and said softly: "You continue to sleep, I will go to the next door to read the letter."

Shen Jia was already awake, she sat up and said, "Go and light the lamp, I'll take a look too."

The hidden guard hurriedly took out a fire folder to light the lamp, then moved to the bedside, and after finishing his work, he disappeared into the darkness.

"Where did you get the letter from?"

"It's from Ling Jingyun." If it wasn't for an urgent letter, the hidden guards wouldn't have sent it to Shen's residence overnight.

"Let's take a look, is there something wrong with the Gao family?"

Zhao Zhang melted the beeswax with fire, took out the letter paper, read it quickly under the lamp, and then handed it to Shen Jia, "It is true that something happened to the Gao family, but it is a good thing."

After reading it, Shen Jia understood what he meant by the good thing. It turned out that a few days ago, the head of the Gao family was sued by the Hexi prosecutor for opening a gold mine without permission, and the evidence was sent to Ling Jingyun.

For such a big case, Ling Jingyun couldn't decide on his own, so he sent someone to deliver a letter and evidence.

Shen Jia opened another envelope, which contained a damaged ledger, one-third of the pages were burned to ashes.

He didn't dare to open it casually, took the ledger to the study room, carefully cleaned up the black ash on the corners, and then opened and transcribed page by page.

Zhao Zhang accompanied him, and it was almost dawn when he did this. Zhao Zhang had to go back to the court, and told him to send him to the palace as soon as he was done.

Shen Jia made simple repairs, and copied the contents of the ledger that could be seen clearly. Even if some data was lost, he still could see that this was a ledger that recorded output. If it was really a gold mine, then this ledger The numbers recorded on the website really want to be big.

He hurriedly changed into his official uniform and entered the palace, and presented the ledger in the early court, together with Ling Jingyun's letter, Zhao Zhang immediately sent the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to Hexi to investigate.

Privately opening gold mines, silver mines, and salt mines is a crime of genocide, but this kind of thing will not be rare from the past to the future.

The emperor happened to want to attack the Gao family, and by such a coincidence, evidence was sent. He was almost dozed off, and someone sent a pillow, so of course he had to verify it.

But Zhao Zhang also understood in his heart that things that are too coincidental often have strange things, but he couldn't think of any mystery hidden in this matter for a while.

The news spread to the eldest princess's mansion, but Zhao Ya only thought that it was the emperor who wanted to destroy the Gao family and blamed the Gao family on purpose, and thinking of the demise of her grandfather's family, she was not surprised that the emperor would do such a thing.

Since the news of Gao Xun's death came, she has been trapped in the mansion every day like a year. She doesn't care whether the Gao family lives or dies, but she doesn't want to live like this for the rest of her life.

The best way is to curry favor with the emperor and release the restrictions on the princess mansion, otherwise she will have no intentions with the prisoner.

"You send a message to the emperor on behalf of the palace, saying that I have something to inform the emperor about the case of the Gao family." Zhao Ya arrested a guard guarding the mansion and confessed.

The imperial guards guarding here did not know what the eldest princess had committed. The superiors only told her not to let the princess leave the mansion, but did not ask the servants in the mansion. Therefore, everyone still respects the eldest princess, and it is even more important to say something. a piece of cake.

Zhao Ya waited anxiously in the mansion. It took two full days before she met Shen Jia who represented Zhao Zhang. She suddenly felt absurd, did she not even have the qualifications to meet the emperor?
