Chapter 101 Brother-in-law

Shen Qingye immediately became alert, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Having said that, he was about to leave.

Su Yin did not chase after him, but looked at Shen Qingye's back and said slowly, "If Mr. Shen needs anything, you can come to Su Yin at any time."

Shen Qingye didn't dare to say anything and just ran away.

"Miss, do you want to look for him?" asked the maid.

Su Yin said confidently: "Don't worry, he will come to find us."

Shen Qingye ran all the way to the underpass, then slid down with weak legs leaning against the wall.

How does Su Yin know about his relationship with A Ying?
If it was a normal time, Shen Qingye would not care so much, but when Ah Ying left Youfeng Courtyard after quarreling with him, she said: "You'd better not think of using my name to make money or gain any benefits. In this capital, there are many people who want me dead, and there are also many people who want to find my weaknesses. There are open and covert hostility towards me. If you are not afraid of death, you can do whatever you want."

How could Shen Qingye not be afraid of death? He struggled so hard to crawl out of hell, how could he be willing to fall into hell again?

Shen Qingye gradually calmed down and turned his gaze to look at the miserable appearance of the wandering man not far away. He became more and more determined that he did not want to go back to the past.

But Aying had done such a ruthless thing, and he couldn't go find her immediately.

Just when Shen Qingye was thinking about a countermeasure, he suddenly thought that although it was true that he could not go to find Aying, wasn't there someone ready who could help him?
Thanks Cheng Yi!
Shen Qingye was delighted and tried to convince himself: "Yes, since he cares so much about Ying, I can definitely go find him!"

Shen Qingye, who was leaning against the wall, was not happy for long as he was targeted by two thugs.

"Kid! This place is my brother's territory, get out of here!"

Looking at the ferocious gangster, Shen Qingye didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly walked out with his bag.

He knew best the consequences of offending a gentleman rather than a villain.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and the clouds gradually became gloomy. Before Shen Qingye could find a place to hide from the rain, raindrops began to fall heavily from the sky.

Raindrops as big as beans hit Shen Qingye one by one. At this moment, he was like discarded garbage. His clothes were soaked, his face was dark, his eyes were dull, and he walked unsteadily. Passersby glanced at him and then walked away quickly as if they were avoiding the plague.

"My dear sister, if I am neither human nor ghost, how can you be so leisurely?" Shen Qingye's eyes turned sinister for a moment.

Shivering and leaning against the eaves of a dilapidated house, Shen Qingye waited until dawn.

Chancery desk.

As soon as Xie Chengyi stepped into the door, he ran into Sheng Daoan who was coming towards him.

After this incident, Sheng Daoan's arrogance was somewhat reduced, but the complex meaning in his eyes became more intense.

"Morning, Zuo Cheng." Sheng Daoan smiled and curled his lips.

Xie Chengyi nodded distantly without saying much.

Sheng Daoan, who was left aside, looked at Xie Chengyi who was walking by and secretly said that he would definitely bring him down.

Then, he whispered to Wu Biao who was following behind him: "Send more people to follow up on the news, and make sure to find out the problem as soon as possible!"

Xue Pang, who had been quietly watching from the doorway, looked troubled.

Xie Chengyi walked up to Xue Pang, bowed politely and said, "Master."

Xue Pang knew Xie Chengyi's personality very well, but he couldn't help but scold him, "You, don't make your relationship with Dao An too tense."

Xie Chengyi believes that he has done nothing wrong, "My attitude is the biggest compromise."

Xue Pang sighed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, forget it. You can't change it now even if I ask you to."

Xie Chengyi hurried over, smiling, "Master, don't worry, Chengyi knows his limits."

Looking at Xie Chengyi, Xue Pang said quietly, "His Majesty has divided the work between you and Dao An."

"?" Xie Chengyi looked serious.

"You are in charge of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works; Dao'an is in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites." Xue Pang's expression was serious.

Xie Chengyi's expression turned stern. This——

"The three places you are in charge of are the easiest to offend people." Xue Pang said incisively.

"But it is also the most challenging thing for people." Xie Chengyi changed his mind and said. Xue Pang's eyes softened, "It is really good that you can think of this."

"If you take on a responsibility, you have to be responsible for it. Chengyi understands this." Although Xie Chengyi is straightforward, he is a man with great convictions.

"Well, that's good." Xue Pang sat down steadily.

"Master, Chengyi has one more thing I want to ask you." Xie Chengyi looked a little solemn.

Xue Pang took Xie Chengyi's expression to heart and said bluntly, "Are you asking me why I accepted your Majesty's appointment?"

Xie Chengyi was amazed at how well his master knew him, "Yes."

"Do you think there is anything unusual in the court recently?" Xue Pang did not directly answer Xie Chengyi's question.

Xie Chengyi was stunned. Something unusual in the court?

"Please enlighten me, Master."

"In recent years, there have been more turmoil than in previous years, and the measures implemented by the court have become more and more severe. Often, in order to govern for the sake of governing, it is quite excessive." Xue Pang said in a deep voice.

Xie Chengyi guessed, "Master, do you think the court's methods of handling affairs are a bit hasty?"

Xue Pang glanced at Xie Chengyi dimly, "The court is the court of the Northern Jin people, and it is also the court of the Xiao family. All things can only convey the will of one person."

"Your Majesty?" Xie Chengyi was shocked.

"The more severe the means, the greater the suspicion, and the easier it is to breed evil thoughts." Xue Pang said slowly.

Xie Chengyi was deeply touched by this conclusion. Your Majesty, you are indeed more suspicious than before. The master came out of seclusion because he cares about the people and wants to stabilize the government. "Chengyi understands."

"Now that you have entered the court, you must not have any second thoughts. Just be worthy of the people and the land of Northern Jin under your feet. Do you understand?" To Xue Pang, Xie Chengyi was his most proud disciple and the child he cared about the most. He knew that this child was definitely the pillar of the country. If he had to find someone to inherit his legacy, Xie Chengyi would be the one who deserved it.

"Yes." Xie Chengyi felt quite burdened.

Just as he sat down in his seat with deep thoughts, he was interrupted by Zhan Li who came in hurriedly, "Sir, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

Zhan Li looked worried and lowered his voice and said, "Shen Qingye."

Xie Chengyi focused for a moment, "Shen Qingye?"

This is strange.

"Lead him to the backyard and be careful not to be discovered." Xie Chengyi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Yes."

Afterwards, Xie Chengyi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he went to the backyard.

In an instant, Zhan Li walked in with Shen Qingye, who looked dejected.

Shen Qingye looked around and entered the room. He immediately saw a man in brown brocade clothes with a dignified figure. The man had dark eyes, deep and solemn features, and a cold aura that made people feel terrified. He was about to say something to get close to him, but it was strangled in his throat. Not to mention getting close to him, even saying a word made him feel a little scared. "Prince."

At first sight, Xie Chengyi didn't like this person very much because there was too much calculation in his eyes.

"Zhan Li, guard outside the door." Xie Chengyi said coldly.

Shen Qingye, who was a little embarrassed, looked at Xie Chengyi and said bravely: "Aying is my sister!"

Xie Chengyi was startled by Shen Qingye's words, "What else?"

When Shen Qingye saw that Xie Chengyi knew of his existence, he immediately felt confident, "Don't you like Ah Ying? In terms of relationship, I may be your brother-in-law in the future. So, as your brother, I am in trouble now. Can I come to you?"

Xie Chengyi raised his eyebrows and instantly looked down upon Shen Qingye, but he still had to consider Ah Ying's face, "So what?"

"I want one thousand taels!" Shen Qingye said directly.

With just this one sentence, Xie Chengyi concluded that this man was a threat to Ah Ying. He even called him his brother? He was not a good person!

"Please sit down first and let's talk." Xie Chengyi changed the subject and poured him a cup of tea himself.

Seeing that the general attached so much importance to her, Shen Qingye gradually relaxed. "My sister is so lucky to have met you, that's..."

Xie Chengyi listened to Shen Qingye's accusation against A Ying, waved to Zhan Li, and whispered: "Go ask A Ying what she wants to do?"
