Chapter 45 The bad-tempered Master Shen

Shen Jinyu rested at home for more than half a month. During this time, he set up a place in the suburbs, filled with secret guards he selected and trained for himself.

He hid from going to court for more than half a month because of his unhealed injury. Now he couldn't hide anymore. He had no choice but to change into his official uniform and go to court. Before going out, he asked around about the newly received items. Bodyguard Lin Qingqiu,

"When will people who go to Kawaze County come back?"

"According to the letter sent back a few days ago, we should arrive in the imperial city today." Lin Qingqiu tied the strap behind Shen Jinyu's official hat and replied.

Shen Jinyu: "Well, come back and see me as soon as possible,"

Lin Qingqiu: "Yes, sir."

Lin Qingqiu had a bumpy career. He had been taking the martial arts exam for the first time a few years ago. However, his family was poor and he had no money to bribe the examiner and no courtesy to give him exams. As a result, he had good martial arts and failed to get the title even after taking the exam for five years. After his parents died, he had no extra money to support him to continue taking the exam. In desperation, he had to be recruited into a small county government as an errand and worked as a coolie for two years. Because he refused to go along with the county magistrate to oppress the poor people, After being kicked out, he had no choice but to go to the coolie market and sell himself as a coolie.

When Shen Jinyu passed by by chance, he immediately spotted Lin Qingqiu sitting among a group of rough men. His demeanor was incompatible with those people, so Shen Jinyu sent someone to ask about him. After learning about his situation, he immediately took him under his wing. .

Lin Qingqiu had not seen his talent for so many years, but now he was appreciated by Shen Jinyu, and his talents could be put to use. He was stubborn and followed Shen Jinyu wholeheartedly, especially because Shen Jinyu had been kind to him. Just thinking about this relationship, Lin Qingqiu will definitely be more loyal than anyone else.

Therefore, Shen Jinyu had been lacking a position as a personal attendant, so he let Lin Qingqiu take the position.

It was the first day of court today, and all the ministers in the court were very curious about Shen Jinyu. The adults with the second-grade official rank were all standing in the front, and Shen Jinyu stood in front, with all the appraising eyes behind him.

After all the ministers had finished talking about their business, no one stepped forward to report it. Emperor Lu Tao made a rounds and said, "My dearest ministers, what important matter do you have to report?"

An adult on the right side of Shen Jinyu hesitated for a moment, then came forward and said, "I have something to report!"

Lu Tao: "Speak!"

"It just so happens that Master Shen, the captain of the Tian Po Army, is here today, so I would like to express my thoughts. Master Shen was originally a disciple of Changlin Villa. He killed the owner of Changlin Villa due to personal vendetta and brought Changlin back to the imperial court. For this reason, the people and the imperial court have quite a lot of objections to the position of captain. They think that Master Shen has achieved disgrace by killing the village owner. Your Majesty, please consider carefully whether it is suitable for Master Shen to serve as this captain. People’s hearts!”

Hearing this, Shen Jinyu glanced sideways at the adult who spoke. Shen Jinyu had seen this person before, Fang Chang'an, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was an old man with an extremely pedantic personality and was rigid and conservative.

"Master Fang, the person Master Shen killed was the enemy who killed his parents. To avenge his blood, it is human nature. How can the method be dishonorable? Besides, the order I originally gave was who has the ability to return Changlin to the imperial court. , anyone can sit in the position of a lieutenant, Mr. Shen is capable, why would he be dishonorable?"

Fang Changan: "Your Majesty, it is indeed human nature to kill enemies, but as far as I know, Lord Shen also killed dozens of innocent disciples of Changlin that night. How can I say this? The parents of those disciples are still there to this day. To redress the child's grievance at the gate of Potianjun, Mr. Shen can kill his enemies, but he should not kill those innocent people!"

Shen Jinyu rolled his eyes. He thought it was such a big deal that he was disgraceful. He never thought that this is where he was. Shen Jinyu turned around and looked directly at Fang Changan and said: "Master Fang doesn't know something. If I don't kill those Disciple, those disciples will kill me. The wounds that those disciples slashed at me have not yet healed. Master Fang, do you want to take a look and verify whether it is true or false?"

"Master Shen, those disciples lost dozens of lives. If everyone came to chop you, Master Shen might not be able to stand here today. Most of the disciples who died were probably not even close to Master Shen. He was killed by a knife. Mr. Shen can fight back, but it is not enough to take someone's life?" Fang Changan kept talking there, which made Shen Jinyu have a headache. Shen Jinyu interrupted him impatiently,

"I have paid fifty taels of silver to the family of those who made trouble to file their grievances. Don't you know, Mr. Fang?"

"Master Shen, how can a human life be calculated in terms of money?" Fang Changan still refused to give up, and Shen Jinyu's patience ran out.

"Master Fang must be a very kind person if he insists on holding on to him like this, right? It's better to do this. If Master Fang has no room for kindness, just go and take those who have complained of grievances to the mansion and treat them well, while they rest at the foot of the city gate. There are many beggars. The day has not warmed up yet. Mr. Fang also went to pick them up and treat them well. He said that he thought my methods were disgraceful, but he was just envious that I could easily sit in the position of the second rank. Those who objected My lord, I’m afraid I’ve tried every possible means for half my life but still can’t reach my position.”

Fang Changan: "Master Shen, what do you mean?"

"Yes, Master Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Several officials followed suit, and Shen Jinyu knew at a glance that these were the people who had private objections to him.

The court suddenly became noisy. Some were watching the excitement, some were fawning over Shen Jinyu and spoke for him, and some were following Fang Changan to question him.

Lu Tao's ears hurt from the noise, and he shouted loudly on the throne, "Okay!"

As soon as the voice came out, the court immediately became quiet.

Shen Jinyu turned around, and Fang Changan also lowered his head, expressing his grievances to Lu Tao, "Your Majesty, this is not what I said to Master Shen. It's just that I have too many objections in private. I just want to ask for clarification."

"Master Fang, I know that you cherish your life, but what you don't know is that Master Shen was often bullied by his disciples at Changlin Villa because he had no support from his parents. The bullying for more than ten years is no different from killing people. Master Shen sat on the I must have examined these aspects of this position, and I think there are no problems. Does Mr. Fang still have problems?"

"This!" Fang Changan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "No! But I still want to say that the Potian Army involves the military power army, so please think twice!"

"I know it well!" Lu Tao was often annoyed by these old men, so he suppressed the matter with a few words and left.

Many details about Shen Jinyu's rise to power could not be revealed, so Lu Tao could only apply perfunctory pressure.

It is now March, the spring equinox is approaching, the sun is warm, and the sun is very comfortable. Walking out of the court, Shen Jinyu looked up at the sky, the blue sky, and a few large groups of thick white clouds hanging in the sky. The sun shines on the glazed tiles and reflects dazzling light. The weather is getting warmer. Qiyue, where are you?

He had obviously sworn to himself before that he would explain it to her when the matter was resolved, but he didn't expect that after that night, he would completely lose any news about her.
