Chapter 592: The Favor Is Too Great to Be Repaid
Chen Guanlou went to the Mu Family Medical Center to visit Shen Yi who was ill.
After not seeing him for many days, Shen Yi's complexion improved obviously, but he was still weak, and it was obvious that he was sick. But the situation was much better than when I was in Tianlao that day. Change the appearance of premature death.
When Shen Zhidao saw him, he bowed and made a big salute.
Chen Guanlou helped their father and son a lot, and was his son's savior. Not to mention salutes and kowtows are all appropriate.
Chen Guanlou dodged slightly and only received half a courtesy.
"Brother Shen, how are you doing these days? Are you getting used to living here?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Our father and son are all well. This time, thanks to you and Dr. Mu, my son can save his life."
"It's easy, don't worry. As long as the child Shen Yi can recover from his illness, I just don't want to see the child suffer. I heard that your ancestors have an old relationship with the Xu family?"
Shen Zhizhi was obviously stunned for a moment. He never expected that Chen Yuucheng would ask such a direct question. He was accustomed to a convoluted way of speaking, but he was not used to the other party's straight-forward, straight-to-the-point way.
He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It's true. However, our two families have long since stopped contacting each other."
Chen Guanlou smiled and said, "I learned about your father and son's situation from Lao Mu. I guess Xu Jinsong didn't know that your father and son went to Beijing to seek medical treatment."
Shen Shizhi looked stunned and confused.
"The third son of the Xu family is currently being held in a prison. If you are willing, I can help you."
For a moment, Shen Zhizhi was obviously moved.
But in the blink of an eye, he shook his head again and said firmly: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness. No need."
Chen Guanlou did not give up, "The best way for the Shen family to get a pardon is to ask Xu Jinsong for help. Take advantage of the opportunity when the new emperor ascends the throne to get the matter done. As long as the Shen family is pardoned, the descendants of the Shen family will be able to Whether it's studying for the imperial examination or relying on martial arts to join the army, it's a hundred times better than having empty ambitions and having no talent at present."
Not everyone is like Zheng Daochong. He can turn over when someone steps on him. With Qingyun Sect as his back, he can become powerful and change everything.
If the Shen family wants to turn over, they can't follow Zheng Daochong's path, but can only follow Xu Jinsong's path. I hope Xu Jinsong will ask for a pardon for the Shen family for the sake of their past love.
Shen Zhidao's face turned red and red, feeling excited and embarrassed at the same time.
The concierge of the Xu family drove him away. He wanted to lose face, so how could he come to the door again?
However, the future of the descendants of the Shen family... finally came to the capital, so they should work hard to fight for it.
"Why does Chen Yuucheng want to help our Shen family? Chen Yuucheng should know that our ancestors of the Shen family have committed crimes and it is difficult to get over. Everyone is avoiding him for fear of not being able to do anything, so why does Chen Yuucheng take the initiative to lend a helping hand."
Chen Guanlou said: "To be honest with Brother Shen, I went to the Criminal Department to look through the case files of the late Mr. Shen. Well, there must have been a lot of trouble back then."
Some words and sentences in the case are used very carefully and are also very obscure. But Chen Guanlou still saw some inside information. The case of the late Mr. Shen was not only due to the theft of military pay, but this was only a superficial reason. Inside, it seems that the royal family members are also implicated, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is now His Majesty, and all the forces behind the princes are implicated. In short, the inside story is very complicated.
Do you want to say that the late Mr. Shen was innocent?
He definitely deserves it.
However, twenty or thirty years have passed since this case, and the late emperor is already dead.
Shen Zhidao remained silent, wanting to hear what was going on.
Chen Guanlou continued: "Actually, my original intention is to find something for the Xu family to do."
"Chen Yuucheng has a grudge against the Xu family?"
"We can't talk about it. Before Xu Laosan was imprisoned in the sky prison, I had never dealt with the Xu family."
"Why is that?"
"I don't like Xu Laosan."
At first, he felt that he had a similar affinity with Xu Laosan. They were of equal looks and both were lustful. However, as he got to know her better, he became very ashamed of Xu Laosan's behavior of having prostitutes for nothing. Especially Xu Laosan's mouth was more poisonous than him.
That's too much!
"That's why?" Shen Zhizhi looked stunned and couldn't understand it at all.
"Of course it's more than that. I have my own plans. Brother Shen, do you want the Shen family to be pardoned?"
"Of course I do. But I don't want to owe the Xu family any favors, and I don't want to follow the Xu family's path. No matter how depressed the Shen family is, it's not shameless. It's hard for me to accept my orders with a shy face."
This is the bad thing about scholars, they are too shameless and have too strong self-esteem.
Such people will suffer losses even if they enter the official career.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't follow the Xu family's path. I have some connections, maybe I can help you."
"Chen Yuucheng is so kind and kind that I can't repay him for anything." Shen Zhizhi immediately stood up and thanked him, "It's just that Chen Yucheng has helped our father and son a lot, how dare Shen have the audacity to ask Chen Yuucheng for help. Besides, our Shen family can't afford to repay such a great kindness. ”
The favor was too great and I couldn't afford it, so I refused.
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. Shen Zhidao was quite brave. From this point of view, the Shen family has a good family tradition! With such a family tradition, the case of the late Mr. Shen indeed had a lot of inside story.
"Let's see. I'll find a way to pass the news that you came to the capital to seek medical treatment to Xu Jinsong. When the Xu family comes to the door, how about you help me slap the Xu family in the face?"
"Why is this?" Shen didn't know how much Chen Yuucheng hated the Xu family, thinking to himself that he would spare no effort to cause trouble for the Xu family.
Chen Guanlou chuckled, "The Criminal Department is handling a big case recently, and Xu Jinsong seems a bit annoying to me. Anyway, it's just official matters, so don't ask about the specifics."
Although Shen Buzhi was puzzled, he still agreed, "It's just a little effort, I will definitely do it for Chen Yucheng." It's not just a slap in the face, he will.
Chen Guanlou laughed, "After you do this, I will help you ask about your family's case. The pardon document is very difficult to say, but it is also very easy to say. The key is to find the right person."
"No, no, no..." Shen Buzhi quickly refused.
The favor is too great, I really can't pay it back.
In fact, the Shen family has already taken root in Xizhou. Except that they can't take the imperial examination and join the army to pursue a career in politics due to their status, the Shen family can teach, work as accountants and legal advisors, and their lives are not as good as those of the rich, but better than those of the poor. In the local area, they are also taken care of by local officials. Otherwise, how could he take his son to Beijing to seek medical treatment smoothly.
He thought that if he couldn't get a pardon, he would just accept his fate and take root in Xizhou completely. He made some arrangements to let his descendants change their surnames and identities, and after obtaining the status of good citizens, they would take the imperial examinations and pursue a career in politics. Save the country in a roundabout way. After a few decades, when all the people who knew about it died, he would change his surname back. I think the ancestors will understand his difficulties.
Chen Guanlou saw that the other party was determined not to do it, so he did not force it.
Everyone has their own destiny!
Chen Guanlou returned to the prison and went to see Xu Laosan, "Do you know that your family has an old relative from Xizhou?"
