When Bai Zhen said she was doubtful, she looked towards Master Liu. Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat and he coughed dryly: "What does Miss Bai want to be suspicious of?"
Master Lu felt bad, was he going to implicate Master Liu? She wanted to speak, but Bai Zhen spoke first: "Of course I suspect that your officials and businessmen are colluding to usurp the interests of the court to benefit the Shen family."
Master Liu's face also turned pale, and he even stood up excitedly: "Miss Bai, don't talk nonsense."
Bai Zhen sneered: "Nonsense? Then tell me, why can one Shen family manage so many schools? In this way, are all the talents that Fucheng sends to the court come from the Shen family? In the future, they will be loyal to the Shen family. Or are you loyal to Dazhou?"
Mr. Liu frowned: "It's impossible. The Shen family is loyal and patriotic."
Bai Zhen waved her hand to interrupt Master Liu: "Loyal to the emperor and patriotic? If you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, why do you dare to do it so blatantly even if you know that it is suspected of attracting talents? No one came to check before, so you turned a blind eye. Even so."
"Now that this girl is investigating this matter, your master went to report the news. What does this mean? You simply don't take this girl seriously. I am now an envoy of the court. How dare you do this? Mr. Liu dares to say that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
Master Liu didn't know what to say at this time, he just looked at Lu Qingfeng: "Master Lu, tell me, what is going on? What are you doing at the Shen family?"
Lu Qingfeng felt that he could not bring trouble to the adults, so he said: "I just went to see my second sister."
Bai Zhen found it funny: "Until now, Master Lu still treats me as a fool. I can control beasts. I know who you meet and what you say."
Lu Qingfeng didn't believe it: "It's impossible, you..."
Bai Zhen was funny: "Are you questioning my ability to control beasts? Or are you saying that I have wronged you? Yes, I have no ability, so I am still arguing with you. It seems that I don't care about this matter. No."
When Xia Xue heard this, she spoke directly and looked at Bai Zhen: "Girl, let's leave the situation here directly to the county boss. The county boss is very good at it."
Lu Qingfeng was a little frightened when he heard that the county master was very good at it. Everyone in the entire Zhou Dynasty knows that the county leader is very good at killing. Maybe her way of dealing with it is to directly kill all the nine Shen family members and take over those schools.
Mr. Liu obviously thought of this possibility. Not to mention, according to the temper of the county master, it seems that this is really possible. It happened that at this time, Xia Yu also spoke: "That is, if the county chief kills everyone, will those talented people who have been won over dare to rebel?"
The words "kill them all" made Master Liu and Lu Qingfeng angry. No, it can't be like this. No matter what, the Shen family is still very important to Fucheng.
"Miss Bai, I think this matter should be investigated carefully. It would be good for us to accept the school over at Xinyue Pavilion and directly go to official school. The Shen family can be considered a good thing for Da Zhou, but It can’t be chilling.”
Of course Bai Zhen had no such intention, just to scare her. Looking at Mr. Liu, he said, "It's okay to say so. Let's lock up the whistleblower first. I'll release him after I handle this matter."
"As for whether I can still be a master by then, I don't know for sure. Master Liu, the prince and the princess are all still here! Don't be too partial to certain people."
Mr. Liu's face was a little dark. In his opinion, since he took over Fucheng, he had been caring for the local people and treated all these aristocratic families equally. But now Bai Zhen keeps saying that his officials are colluding with Shang, and she is so angry.
But at his age, he can't argue with a little girl. I can only nod: "Okay, I will lock up the person first."
That night, everyone in the Lu family discovered that Master Lu had not returned. After sending someone to inquire, they found out that Master Lu was imprisoned on charges of leaking court secrets.
When something happened to Master Lu, the Shen family members naturally couldn't ignore it. Lu Zhixia was even more worried about getting sick: "Husband, will the eldest brother be fine? You said that Bai Zhen, why is he so cruel?"
Shen Hang quickly reached out and covered Lu Zhixia's mouth, then looked around and chased around the room to make sure there was no animal in the room before speaking.
"Madam, don't say these words. That Bai Zhen can control animals. Who knows if there are animals around us that are shooting at us. Don't worry, the eldest brother is in jail because of our Shen family, and our Shen family will not care about it. of."
The top 100 aristocratic families are all backed by officials. So when something happens to the Shen family, someone will spread the news to the Shen family official, and then wait for the news to come over.
Lu Zhixia believed in Shen Hang: "Don't worry about comforting me. Go and discuss this matter with dad. What should we do about this matter?"
After Shen Hang comforted his wife, he went to find the head of the Shen family. The head of the Shen family took several of his sons and daughters, those who could speak, into a secret room.
After checking again, no little animal started to speak: "You all tell me about this matter, what should we do?"
Shen Yuhuan saw that everyone was silent and couldn't help but frown: "How will the second uncle respond to us?"
The second uncle of the Shen family has the highest official position among all the Shen family members and has been granted a title. There must be the latest news from the court. It's just that it will take at least a few days for this news to come.
The head of the Shen family shook his head: "We don't know yet, at least we have to wait for several days. And you all know that the person behind Bai Zhen, County Master Yongxi, can run around in the capital, and your second uncle probably can't fight him."
Shen Hang frowned: "If that's the case, will Yongxi County Lord give the second uncle a face? Let's hand over the school and hand it over to the imperial court for management."
In fact, although most of these schools are free, there are still many people who pay high prices to attend. Generally speaking, the income exceeds the expenditure. That’s why Xinyue Pavilion has been building schools and subsidizing students.
Shen Yunqi also frowned and said, "Should we incite these students to intercede for our Shen family?"
Shen Yuhuan glanced at his eldest brother as if he were an idiot: "Brother, do you know the crime Bai Zhen has convicted us of? Winning over talented people for the use of the Shen family is poaching the court. If you go to incite the students now, wouldn't it be just right? Give her a chance to confirm this guess!"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Shen family seemed to be like this, and quickly waved his hand: "No, you can't do this. Let's do it like this. These days, the Shen family will do whatever they want, just wait for the news from your second uncle. As long as the court doesn't come, just take it directly People just hold it back first.”
Now it seems that this is the only way. Anyway, it is impossible for the Shen family to betray the Zhou Dynasty. Besides, even the Pirate Island is gone, and the whole world is imperial territory. Where can the Shen family rebel
Everyone looks at me and I look at you. It seems like this is the only thing that can be done now? Only Shen Hang frowned: "What about Lu Qingfeng?"
The head of the Shen family frowned: "There is no need to worry about Lu Qingfeng. He is the master of the prefect. How dare those people neglect him."
This seems to make some sense. After the Shen family decided everything, they dispersed, while Shen Hang went back to comfort his wife.
Shen Yuhuan began to prepare for the Xinyue Pavilion banquet as needed. She sent out all the invitations to the princess and others. If the banquet was not held now, the princess would think she was teasing her.
The banquet was still held in the usual restaurant. When Xiao Ruoshui saw Beibei, he asked specifically: "Princess, did you read the time on the invitation? It will be three days later. Does the princess want to attend?" "
Beibei blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruoshui: "Do you think our time is very free? Besides, Shen Yuhuan is in trouble, and I don't want to get involved. So I won't go. You have to think about it. If you want to go, go by yourself.”
Xiao Ruoshui actually wanted to go, but after hearing what the princess said, she felt it made sense: "But if we don't go, will she think we are afraid of them?"
If only Xiao Ruoshui and Shen Yuhuan had always been in an antagonistic relationship, and their relationship was not very good. That's why Xiao Ruoshui wanted to go.
When Beibei heard this, he was a little amused: "Are you afraid of them? If I don't go, she will be uneasy. Well, we are very busy and don't have time to discuss other people."
Uneasy? Did the princess do something else? Xiao Ruoshui glanced at the princess, whose face was calm, forget it, we will know when the time comes.
In the blink of an eye, three days later, almost all the members of Xinyue Pavilion were here except Lin Mengxi. Looking at Shen Yuhuan: "Pavilion Master, what are we using as the theme this time?"
Shen Yuhuan looked at the person who spoke, a little helpless. She was very anxious today, so she couldn't care less about this: "You can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, Shen Yuhuan kept guarding the door. Someone who didn't understand looked at Shen Yuhuan with confusion: "What's wrong with sister Yuhuan? Are you waiting for someone?"
Most of these people are girls from various families, led by Shen Yuhuan. Thinking of the invitations Shen Yuhuan sent out before, I am afraid they are waiting for the county master and the others.
It's just that Shen Yuhuan was destined to be disappointed. She waited in the restaurant for a whole day. Not to mention the princess, even Xiao Ruoshui and Wan Xinxin didn't wait. Obviously, they didn't take this matter to heart.
This made Shen Yuhuan feel aggrieved, but she couldn't do anything now. Because of Shen Yuhuan's condition, none of these people had a good time today, and there was also an annoying person who appeared at the door of the restaurant.
"Sister, I want to go to this restaurant for dinner. Look at the girl standing at the door to receive guests. She looks so pretty. Let's eat here."
