Chapter 649

There is a lot of meat on the thigh.

As long as the aorta is not pierced, it is generally not dead, and it is very painful.

Master Shen drew out the dagger, blood splashed out immediately.

He turned slightly sideways, not stained with blood.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were full of fear, and he wailed: "Young Master Shen, I... I am in the Northern Dynasty, and I have a very high status in the Department of Purity!"

He said loudly: "I am useful to you, I am useful to you!"

"You are useful to the court."

Master Shen cut off a piece of Zhou Yuanchui's clothes with a dagger, held it in his hand, and while wiping the blood on the dagger, he looked at Zhou Yuanchui with no expression on his face.

"And I am Shen Yi."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, even Zhou Yuanchui, whose thigh was in severe pain, had some doubts in his eyes.

Because he couldn't understand what Shen Yi's words meant.

Logically speaking, Shen Yi is a native of the Southern Dynasty and an official of the Southern Dynasty court. As long as it is beneficial to the court, he can not only make meritorious service in front of the emperor, but also benefit his hometown.

Shen Yi should have no reason to refuse.

But Shen Yi said that he is not the imperial court.

This is completely inconsistent with the thought of loyalty to the emperor in this era.

This is essentially because Master Shen is no longer the former boy Shen Qi from Jiangdu Mansion.

In other words, he is not exactly that Shen Qi.

He didn't have those foolish and loyal thoughts.

He worked hard in this era, worked hard in scientific research, worked hard to be an official, and worked hard to do things. In essence, he wanted to make himself stand out and let the people around him live a good life.

Of course, he is also willing to do something good for the country, the people, and his hometown.

But the imperial court is not equal to the country.

Shen Yi's personal ideals are not completely consistent with the direction of the entire court.

Of course, for now, his goals are still highly consistent with Emperor Hongde's, which is why Shen Yi has been willing to work hard and travel here and there in the past two years.

However, in some details, his interests are not consistent with those of the court.

For example, Zhou Yuanchui.

If this person can be used by the court of Chen Guo, if it can be used well, it will definitely be beneficial to the court of Chen Guo, but for Shen Yi personally, now only by killing Zhou Yuanchui can he feel at ease.

After saying these words, Master Shen stabbed Zhou Yuanchui's arm with another knife, and in exchange for it was naturally another cry of pain.

"The matter between the two of us can be said to be a personal enmity."

Master Shen still had no expression on his face: "It has nothing to do with business."

Zhou Yuanchui's face was distorted from the pain.

He stared at Shen Yi with vicious eyes, and cursed: "Shen Yi, if you have the ability, you will kill your father. If your father does not die, he will definitely come to you and ask your whole family to settle the debt!"

Seeing that begging for mercy had no effect, he began to speak harshly.

Shen Yi still didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but silently drew out the dagger, and said lightly: "There is no such possibility."

He wiped the dagger clean and walked towards Mr. Zhou again.

Zhou Yuanchui was completely desperate.

He looked at Shen Yi and yelled helplessly.

Shen Yi stabbed each of his limbs, then stopped torturing him, turned and left the hut.

Let his blood drip on the ground bit by bit.

……

The next morning.

After a good night's sleep, Master Shen woke up in this strange manor. After stretching, he came to the yard. At this time, Xue Wei and his subordinates had already packed their bags and were ready to set off.

Seeing Shen Yi get up, Xue Wei immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei, then at the hut where Zhou Yuanchui was locked up, and asked, "Is that man dead?"

Xue Wei bowed his head and said: "My subordinates went over to take a look in the morning. This guy is still angry. According to your instructions, my subordinates dealt with him and dragged him to the field to bury him."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said, "It's hard work."

"Then leave Liuhe now, go south and return to Yueqing as soon as possible. Don't tell anyone what happened today."

Xue Wei hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shen, do you want the brothers to escort you to Jiankang City, and then go south to Yueqing?"

"Need not."

Shen Yi glanced around, smiled and said, "I'm very safe."

Xue Wei nodded silently, and asked again: "Mr. Shen, when will you return to Yueqing to take charge of the overall situation?"

"Estimated at the end of this month."

Shen Yi thought for a while: "In early February, I should be able to return to Yueqing. After you return to Yueqing, pay more attention to resting the generals below. This year..."

Shen Yi looked at him, and said lightly: "You probably have to go to Guangzhou Mansion to do some work."

Now there are only pirates on the coast in Guangdong.

And this military merit is reserved for Xue Wei. If the Japanese suppression goes well, Xue Wei will stay in Guangzhou and establish Guangzhou Guard on the spot to protect the soon-to-be-established Guangzhou Shipping Department.

If Xue Wei's errands are done well enough, he will be called the commander of Guangzhou Wei, and he will be alone.

It also means that within three years, he has completed the multi-level jump of the Commander of the Little Pawn Road.

This kind of rocket climbing is basically impossible for civilian officials, but it is not impossible for military generals. After all, military generals are promoted by military exploits. Xue Wei's achievements in the past two years are enough to be called outstanding military exploits. He is in charge of the first guard, and there is no big problem.

Of course, besides enough military merits, the speed of this climb is more important because there are people in the court. To put it more bluntly, there are civil servants in the court who can speak.

Otherwise, if [-]% of Xue Wei's current combat achievements can be attributed to him, it would be considered a kind and generous Shangguan.

It is precisely because of this that Xue Wei is so respectful to Shen Yi, because he is basically Shen Yi's disciple.

After explaining some things to Xue Wei, the two groups parted at the gate of the manor. Master Shen got on his horse and ran all the way back to Jiankang.

Liuhe County originally belonged to Jiankang Mansion, so it is not too far away from Jiankang. Shen Yi arrived outside Jiankang City in the afternoon while riding a horse, and entered Jiankang smoothly.

After entering Jiankang, Master Shen's horse speed slowed down, and he had to dismount and lead the horse when he reached a crowded place.

Finally, before the sun completely set, Shen Yi returned to Beicheng, looked up and saw the gate of Shen's house with two lanterns hanging not far away.

Shen Yi led the horse and approached.

When he was able to walk in, Shen Yi was in a daze for a while, only to see that there were not only two lanterns at the door of his house, but four.

Two lamps were hung on the door, and two lamps outside were held in the hands of two young eunuchs.

When Shen Yi approached with his horse, the two young eunuchs came forward with lanterns, bowed their heads to Shen Yi and said, "Bachelor Shen, Your Majesty has summoned you."

This situation did not particularly surprise Shen Yi.

He glanced at the two young eunuchs, and after being silent for a while, he looked at the horse beside him and said with a smile, "You two, can you let me take the horse home?"

The two young eunuchs looked at each other, then lowered their heads slightly and said, "Scholar Shen, there are stables for horses outside the imperial city, and they are filled with fine fodder."

Shen Yi had no choice but to hand the reins in his hand to one of the young eunuchs, and then got into the sedan chair prepared by the two young eunuchs in advance.

The sedan chair was quickly and steadily lifted up, and rushed towards the imperial city.

When it got dark, Shen Yi was taken outside the Ganlu Hall, where the lights were brightly lit.

Master Shen was led by a young eunuch into the Ganlu Palace, and when he saw His Majesty the Emperor who was approving the memorandum, Shen Yi stepped forward, silently knelt on the ground, bowed his head and saluted, "Minister Shen Yi, I greet Your Majesty."

The emperor put down the vermilion pen in his hand, glanced at Shen Yi who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled faintly: "Why did Shen Qing perform such a grand ceremony today? Get up quickly."

Monarchs and ministers meet in private, kneeling or not is fine, under normal circumstances, there is no need to kneel.

"clever."

The emperor shouted, and said, "Give a seat to my Shen Qing."

Eunuch Gao immediately moved a chair over and carefully placed it behind Shen Yi.

Master Shen also sat down carefully.

The emperor smiled: "In the past few days, I sent people to Shen Qing's house to ask. The Shen family said that Shen Qing went out to visit friends. I don't know where he went to visit friends?"

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and said.

"The minister went out... for a private matter."
