All servants were not allowed to enter the main courtyard of the Shen Mansion. Shen Jinmo, who had neglected state affairs for a long time and had a pile of memorials in front of his desk, finally took Xie Nanxing's hand and walked from the gentle land to the study.

The only thing that could make Shen Jinmo willing to review these memorials was that Xie Nanxing said that he looked very handsome when reviewing the memorials, and anyone who took a look at him would feel their hearts fluttering.

In order to have a better view, Xie Nanxing placed a chair opposite Shen Jinmo.

After reviewing two large piles of memorials, Shen Jinmo stopped writing and looked at Xie Nanxing who was handling various affairs.

Shen Jinmo had enough reasons to suspect that Xie Nanxing didn't want to see him at all, but wanted to deal with all the things on hand.

Xie Nanxing now is different from him. He only needs to take a quick glance at those memorials that have been reviewed by the prime ministers.

Xie Nanxing is in charge of the situation and intelligence network of the Divine Capital and the world. Many things cannot be done without his approval.

Although he knew that he shouldn't get angry about such a serious matter, Shen Jinmo still felt sulky for a while without showing it clearly.

Xie Nanxing raised his head and looked at Shen Jinmo with a soft smile.

This look and this smile were incredible. The grievances that Shen Jinmo had been holding back in his heart began to pour out.

"You didn't sit on my lap in order to see me reviewing the memorials."

"Now you're sitting opposite me but you don't even look at me. Are you kidding me?"

Shen Jinmo is not as easy to fool as a child.

She raised her body slightly with her hands on the desk and put her beautiful eyes in front of Shen Jinmo.

"I was watching... You just reviewed a total of 42 memorials, and you looked up at me eight times."

"Once his eyes lingered between the brush and me for a while, he must have been thinking about something that was not presentable. Am I wrong?"

The cute little look, as if it had handed in a perfect answer sheet, immediately smoothed down Shen Jinmo's raised hair.

He pinched Xie Nanxing's face and earlobes out of itchiness, and a light flashed in Shen Jinmo's sharp eyes.

"My dear, we have been reviewing the papers for such a long time, can we go play with the brush first?"

Shen Jinmo would not make any changes to most of the memorials that had been reviewed by the prime minister.

It must pass through him, just like an imperial edict must be signed by him before it can be issued. It is a symbol of imperial grace and power.

"not good."

If we really start playing, how could it only take a short while?

Besides, Xie Nanxing still has some things to discuss with Shen Jinmo. Now that they are under the same roof, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort if they keep in touch with each other.

"Ahuai is back. I should prepare a generous gift for him to celebrate his regaining his freedom."

When the rejected person heard this, he immediately understood the implication of Shen Jinmo's words.

Shen Jinmo is going to set Yang Huai free.

From now on, without the annoying guy like Yang Huai, all of Xie Nanxing's time will belong to Shen Jinmo alone.

This is a very good thing.

He asked knowingly, "You don't want him anymore in the future?"

"He is not mine anyway, there is no reason for him to keep revolving around me."

Seeing through Shen Jinmo's thoughts, Xie Nanxing stood up and got into Shen Jinmo's arms to deal with his own affairs: "In this bustling world, only Lord Shen belongs to me, and I only want Lord Shen."

Shen Jinmo was still worried about Yang Huai: "What if he insists on pestering me?"

"Then let's run away with Uncle Shun to a place where no one can find us."

It turns out there is also Ah Shun.

But A Shun is good and Yang Huai is bad.

Forget it, Shen Jinmo reluctantly prepared to accept A Shun.

Unable to suppress the curve of his lips, Shen Jinmo immediately made up his mind: "Since the Patriarch has made a decision, I will definitely not go against it. I will prepare this generous gift for the Patriarch in a few days."

"Don't be impatient. Suiyi is his last umbrella. He won't abandon Suiyi easily. Don't get yourself involved in a hurry."

"Don't worry, if you hadn't come, this matter would have been postponed until another opportunity came."

"Now that you are here, it is the best time to enter the palace again."

Now that you have found a new person, you should get rid of all the ties with the old one so that you can let go completely.

How could this not be Xia Hong's intention?

He leaned over the desk, took out an account book from the front, and spread it out in front of Shen Jinmo.

"The day after the Oiran Night, corrupt officials in dozens of counties and prefectures in Daxia were beheaded, and new officials were promoted. I had someone report this to the Prime Minister. According to the time, the Prime Minister should have verified the details in the past few days."

"I will give all this gold earned by my beauty and talent to Lord Shen to settle this matter."

Xun Xiang, who has prestige in the court and holds the Xun family's century-old accumulation in his hands, should have become a stumbling block for Xia Che at the critical moment.

The Xun family has produced a traitor like Xun Lan, and in order to make Xun Xiang make a decision that meets Xia Che's expectations, there is still one last spark missing.

After taking a look at the amount of silver, Shen Jinmo rubbed Xie Nanxing's ear softly.

"If the master of the family comes back sooner, I won't have to worry about the affairs of the world. I can just focus on serving the master."

Turning his head, his lips brushed across her cheek: "Where did you learn these glib words?"

"My family is obedient and mighty, and these are naturally the truth."

He turned Xie Nanxing in his arms, held Xie Nanxing's face and asked, "Don't you like to hear it?"

She smiled with her eyebrows curved: "I like to listen to it. I like to listen to whatever you say."

His fingertips gently stroked Xie Nanxing's waist, and he couldn't help but whispered to her, "You are not in good health, don't do everything yourself, the people below are not for show."

Shen Jinmo understood that Xie Nanxing was unwilling to delegate the task to others because he was afraid that any omission might hurt him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He pointed at the amount on the account book again: "What about this money?"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of this money for the master of the family, so that he can use it wisely in the future."

No matter how much gold and silver was deposited into Xia Hong's private vault, Shen Jinmo was worried that it would be squandered, because Xia Hong would not live to see the time when he would spend the money.

When the new king came to power, the country was in ruins.

In order to avoid turmoil in the court, directly confiscating the properties of corrupt officials and wealthy people is not a good method.

These gold and silver will be handed over to Xia Che in the future to help him build a stone bridge to lead the people from dire straits to peace and prosperity.

The private treasury that Xia Hongna accumulated through exploitation of various places was the first generous gift that Xie Nanxing and Shen Jinmo gave to Xin Shanhe.

--

The details of the assassination case involving officials from dozens of counties across the country, starting from the northwest of Daxia, are now placed on Xun Xiang's desk.

After reading the investigation file several times, Xun Xiang walked out of the study alone and slowly walked along the corridor.

The last rain of summer had knocked down a lot of dead leaves. The servants in the mansion were sweeping the leaves together with a broom, and then using a dustpan to collect all the leaves away.

According to the custom of the prime minister's mansion, these yellow leaves would be sent to the kitchen and left for a few days until they were completely dry, and then put into the stove to make a fire.

These leaves that fall from the trees can eventually become firewood to make food for the whole house.

As for these officials, whose assassinations were greeted with cheers from the people, were they also like these leaves, blown down by a thunderstorm, and finally gave their lives to the people of this land?

If he knew where this assassinating force came from, Xun Xiang would not have any hesitation and he would have suppressed the matter.

But Xun didn't know it.

Because we don’t know, we cannot predict the final direction of this force.

Xun Xiang also didn't know whether the person who came to him to inform on the matter wanted him to seek justice?

Or do you want to use this trap to trap him, the head of the Xun family, and constrain him in every way?

Or is it that Shen Jinmo is tired of having someone share government affairs with him and intends to dominate the court alone?

The former is nothing to be afraid of, but the breakthrough point for the latter two lies in Shen Jinmo.

The matter concerns Shen Jinmo. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Xun Xiang cannot make a unilateral decision. It must be presented to Xia Hong.

After changing into court robes, Xun Xiang for the first time passed Shen Jinmo and submitted a letter requesting to see the emperor into the palace.
