Shen Chen naturally wanted to make it clear. He glanced at the kneeling Xu Dashanren in front of him and reached out to help him up: "Let's not beat around the bush. In the final analysis, you and I both know the root of this matter."
Xu Dashan pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
Shen Chen used threats and inducements, and now he had no choice but to stick with Shen Chen to the end.
And how could he possibly destroy the Xu family to protect Liu Biping
In Fujian for so many years, how many generations of hard work did the Xu family have to put in before they could gain a firm foothold? ! In order to break the Chen family's monopoly on the sea, his uncle was willing to sacrifice his life and go out to sea to do business in various places.
He hasn't even officially taken over the family business yet, how could he fail miserably now? !
This multiple-choice question was actually very easy to answer, and he made a decision in just a moment.
"Don't worry, sir!" He swallowed and looked at Shen Chen, his eyes deep and he said, "I know what to do."
Xuesong was knocking on the door outside. Shen Chen glanced at him and asked Xuesong to come in. He asked Xuesong, "What's going on?"
Xuesong bent down, but did not look at Mr. Xu. He replied directly to Shen Chen: "To answer your question, we have figured it out. The wife of the boatman who was killed went to the dock and wanted to go to Quanzhou. We stopped her and found a lot of gold, silver and jewelry inside, which were not theirs. After interrogation, they admitted that these things were given by Mr. Xu's family."
Shen Chen hummed, and tilted his head to look at Mr. Xu: "Now that the matter is settled, I will see how sincere you are, Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu straightened his chest, clenched his fists and stood up with a serious look: "Don't worry, sir!"
Shen Chen winked at Xuesong.
Xuesong immediately led Mr. Xu to the back.
After everyone left, Wei An came out from behind the screen, sat on the chair next to Shen Chen and looked at him calmly: "Are you going to start to attack Liu Biping?"
Shen Chen poured a cup of tea for Wei An, pushed it towards her, and asked instead of answering, "What do you think?"
Asking for her opinion.
Wei An paused for a moment and said nothing.
She knew why Shen Chen was so anxious all of a sudden, and he couldn't wait to flatter Xu Yi for a while longer - the situation in the court had changed, and the Sixth Prince's overwhelming love for her might intensify the conflict at any time.
Once something happens in the imperial court, the situation in Fujian will become more critical.
By then, Liu Biping would most likely use the Fujian incident to threaten the imperial court and become a huge obstacle to the Linjiang Prince's ascension to the throne. He had a mortal feud with the Linjiang Palace, and he would not trust that the Linjiang Palace would let him go. Similarly, the Linjiang Palace would not think that he was truly surrendering.
The conflict between these two parties cannot be reconciled.
We can only fight quickly and decisively, cut the Gordian knot.
After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "I'll ask Tan Xi to speed up the process."
She looked at Shen Chen, and after a moment she said, "Even if you touch Liu Biping's men, you can't do anything to him. He is the governor of a place, and many people are willing to come forward to take the blame for him. Besides, except for the Xu family, the other three Liu families are definitely on Liu Biping's side, and the other two families... ... are also fence-sitters, and it is impossible for them to completely side with anyone. You can only slowly consume Liu Biping and let Tan Xi speed up. The war in Zhejiang is at its peak now. Although Qunshan has not participated in the war, judging from the momentum of the Governor of Zhejiang, he must catch these pirates in one fell swoop. He will not sit idly by and wait for death. It is only a matter of time before he gets involved. As long as he reaches out... ... as long as he dares to reach out, he will be finished."
It doesn’t matter if he is finished, what matters is Luo Yuan who is still climbing up under his command.
Luo Yuan was a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Once his identity was found out, he would be taken to the capital for strict interrogation.
Then bring Liu Biping out.
There was no way Liu Biping could stay out of it.
Wei An is usually considered a very cold person. It’s not that she is a bad person, but she always seems to lack sufficient enthusiasm towards people other than the small group of people she cares about.
She would not stop for a kitten or puppy on the roadside, and lacks the most basic and common innocence and curiosity of a girl.
But Shen Chen never thought that it was wrong for her to do so.
If you like someone, you will tolerate everything about her.
Even if others think it is a flaw, in the eyes of those who like her, this flaw is beautiful.
But now, Wei An was no longer as calm and aloof as usual when facing him.
Shen Chen suddenly felt very happy for some reason.
This happiness was even deeper than being able to immediately remove Liu Biping, the stumbling block. He couldn't help but smile: "Do whatever you want."
Wei An was talking about business when she suddenly felt that Shen Chen's tone was not right, so she looked up at him. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment - Shen Chen's eyes were staring at her intently, with a faint smile on his face.
She knew that this was the look a person gives to someone they like, so she unconsciously lowered her head and coughed.
When she lowered her head, she felt a little regretful.
This guy is really... ... Ever since he started talking, he has become more and more non-serious.
In the past, he was clearly a gentleman and never dared to look at girls like this, but now it was different. When he found a chance, he seemed to stare at her nonstop.
What a romantic and dandy guy... ..
No wonder those girls in the capital all said that Shen Chen was a playboy, but they inexplicably treated him as a guest of honor and felt honored to be looked at by him for even a second.
Such a good-looking man, who looks so sincere and affectionate when he looks at people, and whose eyes seem to be able to speak, is indeed a disaster.
She turned her hot face away, coughed, and then said, "Why can I do whatever I want? You should also write a letter to remind the Governor of Zhejiang, and... Once Liu Biping is convicted, he can be arrested immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Shen Chen knew that she was annoyed again and sighed inwardly.
He himself is not a talkative person, but the girl he likes is also a quiet one and blushes easily...
It made him seem too frivolous even if he wanted to say something nice and sweet.
This is really...
You know, he had seen other playboys being more restrained in their dealings with their fiancées because their fiancées came from prominent families, but they were not as timid as he was!
But Wei An is not his legitimate fiancée yet, and he still has to go through King Zheng. He coughed.
