As Mr. Xu was about to leave, he said to Mr. Chen, "You are back very well. Just treat it like this. The Liu family is too much of a bully. Even if we swallow our anger, they won't appreciate it. In this case, we might as well fight."
After all, the Xu family was the one that suffered the most oppression. Their dissatisfaction with the Liu family had been accumulating over the years. Now that they had the chance, they would never give up.
In the past, Master Chen was more caring towards Mr. Xu only because of his child's marriage, but now it is different. Just as Mr. Xu said, the Liu family no longer gives them the opportunity to choose.
Either resist or be oppressed forever. He certainly would not give up the opportunity to climb up and be willing to be a stepping stone for the Liu family.
He nodded to Mr. Xu and said, "Are you going out for something? I'll go in and pay my respects to the Marquis and see what he says."
Mr. Xu nodded and walked past him without stopping: "I have to go to the Liu Family Ancestral Hall to take a look. You go in, the Marquis is waiting for you."
Master Chen straightened his clothes and walked into the flower hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Chen reading a letter with his head down. He couldn't help but take a step back - maybe it was a secret, and it was not the time for him to find out about these things.
Shen Chen had already heard the noise, looked up and saw him, smiled and handed the letter to Han Bo on the side, and waved to Master Chen: "Master Chen, please take a seat. I'm sorry that I don't have time to entertain you today."
Master Chen waved his hands hastily: "Your Excellency is too kind. Your Excellency is very busy with all kinds of affairs. It is rare for him to have time to see me..."
Han Bo couldn't help laughing. This Master Chen was a talkative and interesting person.
Shen Chen also smiled and said, "What do you mean by being busy? I am just busy protecting myself so as not to die an unnatural death."
This brings us to today's incident. Master Chen sighed, "The Liu family really went too far. What kind of situation is this? Even if they felt that there was some misunderstanding about what happened tonight, they could have reported it to the government, but they had people besiege the post station..."
Shen Chen smiled nonchalantly, as if he wasn't bothered by the matter.
In fact, looking at the group of people outside just now, you can know that Shen Chen really didn't have much trouble, because the person who was injured and plotted against was not Shen Chen, but someone from the Liu family.
Master Chen stopped talking and simply stopped saying these words to deal with the situation. After thinking for a while, he said to Shen Chen frankly: "My Lord, Xu Dashanren and I have the same idea. If you have any instructions, please let us know. We will do everything we can."
He was a little nervous. Although Mr. Xu had already told him that Shen Chen was naturally interested in recruiting them, he was still a little worried that something might happen to Shen Chen and make him change his mind.
He didn't stay nervous for too long. Shen Chen didn't mean to evade the question. He took a stack of papers from Han Bo, smiled and said, "Even if Master Chen doesn't tell me, I have a troublesome matter for you, Master."
What's the trouble
Now, as long as Shen Chen orders something, nothing is considered a problem and it is something that should be done.
He immediately stood up and bowed to express his feelings: "Your Majesty, your words are too serious. As long as it is something that Your Majesty orders us to do, we will definitely be extremely careful and will not dare to neglect it in the slightest. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Shen Chen hummed, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. There was a hint of cunning in his beautiful eyes, but he quickly hid it and said softly, "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. It's about Zhejiang..."
Master Chen didn't react for a moment. After many thoughts flashed through his mind, he asked in confusion: "Zhejiang...?"
How could it be related to what happened in Zhejiang
How could people from Rongcheng interfere in Zhejiang's affairs? Moreover, he thought that after the Liu family incident, Shen Chen should have asked him to help Mr. Xu deal with the aftermath.
But unexpectedly, Shen Chen opened his mouth and told him Zhejiang.
Shen Chen hummed, obviously not shocked at all by Master Chen's surprise. He paused for a moment and said, "An official from Zhejiang came to borrow grain. Master Chen should know about this, right?"
Of course I know that.
Because they needed to borrow grain, these wealthy families had to contribute. For this matter, before Liu Biping's plot against the imperial envoy happened, they were all invited to the governor's office as guests.
He still remembered the incident clearly, so when Shen Chen mentioned it, he nodded immediately: "That's right. Because we need ships from the four families and we also need to provide some manpower, we are all involved and know a thing or two about it."
Shen Chen hummed and said softly: "If something goes wrong along the way, what will be the consequences?"
Of course there will be. The food and fodder must be sent before the troops move. Although Zhejiang has already received emergency silver from the court, this batch of grain from Fujian was negotiated before and will arrive earlier than the court's military pay to provide support. If something happens, Zhejiang will be in a tight spot.
Master Chen thought that Shen Chen was trying to attack Liu Biping, so he couldn't help but resist. He lowered his head and said to Shen Chen, "My Lord, this matter... this matter, do you want to think about it again? The war in Zhejiang is finally coming to an end. This is a matter of great concern to people's livelihood..."
He wanted to stand on the side of Shen Chen, but if Shen Chen wanted to tamper with the military rations, he really didn't dare to agree or agree.
If this is... ..
If you are discovered, you will be infamous for eternity!
This is no different from Liu Biping and others.
Shen Chen sneered and shook his head: "Master Chen, you are overthinking. I am not Liu Biping and I will not do such a thing. I am just saying that you should be careful of Liu Biping doing such a thing."
Master Chen was even more confused and didn't understand why Shen Chen said that. This matter was initiated by Liu Biping, and he hoped that it would succeed the most. Why would he interfere in it
He coughed and said, "My Lord, do you know something? Please tell me..."
Being kept in the dark is not a pleasant feeling at all. He is just an ordinary person. When he does something, he definitely wants to know the cause and effect and will only do it if there is no harm.
Shen Chen hummed and raised his eyebrows: "I know some things. For example, this time I know that we all hope that the court can win this battle, wipe out the Japanese threat in one fell swoop, and restore peace to the coastal areas, but some people don't want to."
The person this person was referring to was naturally Liu Biping. Needless to say, Master Chen stood where he was, knowing that Shen Chen would not speak without a purpose, so he bowed his hands and bowed thoughtfully: "I would like to hear the details."
