I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

After listening to Yan Guichao's words, Prince Rong nodded and stroked his beard, saying,

"You have a point. We can treat Shen Changgong to a meal first. Whether he comes or not, we can temporarily show weakness to the enemy, paralyze Shen Changgong, and then secretly collect evidence against him."

Yan Guichao smiled and continued,

"Father, I have another plan, which is to send gifts to Shen Changgong's family. Shen Changgong is a young man who has just gained power and is walking on thin ice. He may not be willing to get involved with us, and would rather step on us to gain credit.

We can pretend to be someone who wants to curry favor with Shen Changgong, go to Shen Changgong's house and give gifts to Shen Changgong's father.

After you have a good relationship with his father, you can slowly corrupt his father and get more of his words out of him.

If we interact with him a few more times, we can make him our own.

At that time, we can either let his father work for us, get evidence, and then sue Shen Changgong, or use his father to win over Shen Changgong.

Find those who were hurt by Shen Changgong, win over Shen Changgong, and give gifts to Shen Changgong's father. With these three methods, I will ensure that Shen Changgong will die without a burial place!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Rong laughed heartily and said,

"Hahaha, a mere commoner is fighting with us and playing tricks on us. We are his ancestors!"

He took the credit for himself without hesitation.

The swallows returning to their nests also clasped their hands and said,

"Father is wise."

With the merit of overthrowing Shen Changgong, he has no worries about the position of crown prince not being his.

"Father, Shen Changgong doesn't come home often, and his father hasn't seen me either. We just need to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Changgong. When he's not home, I can go to his house and do this myself."

"Okay, Chao, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm confident you can handle it!"

"Thank you, Father, for giving me this opportunity. I will do it beautifully!"

The Duke of Liang on the side hurriedly flattered him, and then said,

"But... Fourth Young Master, what if Shen Changgong comes to confiscate my home today?"

Yan Guichao glanced at him coldly, thinking that this man was a hopeless case.

But he still put on a smile and said,

"Don't worry, Duke. With these three blows, Shen Changgong will be too busy to take care of himself. How can he have the energy to raid your house?

Besides, even if he really goes, let him go. You can live in our house. Shen Changgong has no evidence, so how dare he come to the palace to arrest people?

When the time comes, let my father send all his warriors to protect you.

As for money, as long as he has saved his life and status and overthrown Shen Changgong, why would he worry about not having a family fortune?

I guarantee that within a year, even if you lose all your money, you will make it back."

"Alright, alright, the Fourth Young Master is indeed formidable. This humble official is now relieved!"

Duke Liang also laughed.

……

Shen Changgong escorted his sister-in-law all the way back home. In broad daylight, they did not encounter any assassinations.

After returning home, Shen Changgong called his parents and sister-in-law together and asked,

"Dad, has anyone come to our house to give us gifts recently?"

"Yes, there are many, every day."

Shen Wanguan sat down and said.

"Did you receive it?"

"For normal business dealings and acquaintances, it would be embarrassing if I didn't accept them, but I would return the favor when they leave, or send someone to deliver gifts to their homes. All of this is recorded in the account book.

I won’t accept people I’m not familiar with. I’ll just give them a cup of tea and chat for a few minutes before sending them away.

What's wrong? "

Shen Changgong nodded. His father's work really made people trust him. He could handle everything without any instructions.

"Then I'm relieved. The main reason is that I'm currently picking on the powerful and offending quite a few people. I'm worried that someone might try to harm me by giving gifts to our family and then using evidence to sue me.

During this period, try not to go out, and be protected by someone when you go out.

If you want to make money, we have a legitimate way. After some powerful people fall from power, many of their industries will be sold to businessmen. This is our opportunity. Before I report it, I will give you a list. You can send someone to inquire about it first. If you like any of them, go to the government office first and act first.

We bought it with real money, so we are not afraid of being sued.

When your son's position is solid and no one can shake it, I will let you live a life of freedom in the capital."

"Hahahaha, then I'll be waiting for that day."

After Shen Wanguan finished laughing, he put away his smile and said earnestly,

"Second brother, I don't seek to be rich and powerful. Just protect yourself. The rich and powerful are not to be trifled with. Their methods are dirty."

The old man did not advise him not to offend the powerful, but just asked him to be careful, which touched Shen Changgong a lot.

After giving a few more instructions, Shen Changgong sent his sister-in-law back to her room, secretly hugged her and kissed her, then left home and rode at full speed towards the security army camp.

When we arrived at the camp, we saw Zhang Yide coming up to us excitedly and shouting,

"I admit it! The captain admits it!"

Shen Changgong was filled with black lines.

"What am I confessing? I'm not a criminal."

Zhang Yide scratched his head, laughed awkwardly, and quickly changed his words.

"It was Chen Anmin who confessed, Captain. The old fellow was very stubborn at first, but I, Old Zhang, used a trick and he confessed."

"What kind of tricks can you come up with? It's rare. Tell me about it."

Shen Changgong dismounted and asked as he walked with Zhang Yide.

"Hey, just go and take a look."

Zhang Yide's smug keeping of the secret made Shen Changgong even more curious.

This guy can actually come up with a good idea for interrogation?

"By the way, did the assassin confess?"

"No, that guy was very stubborn and refused to confess. We were so scared that he would die that we even fed him rice porridge every day."

Shen Changgong nodded. After all, the assassins were all loyal to their masters, so it would not be easy for them to confess.

When they arrived at the cell, they first went to see Chen Anmin.

Chen Anmin was naked when he was brought here, and he is still naked now.

What surprised Shen Changgong was that the woman he brought with him was also squatting in the corner crying.

"Didn't I tell you to send her to the Jiaofangsi? Why is she still here?"

"We were planning to interrogate Chen Anmin before sending her there, but we didn't expect this woman would be useful."

Zhang Yide smiled.

Chen Anmin opened his eyes and saw Zhang Yide, and shouted in fear,

"Don't come over!!!"

Shen Changgong was happy and asked,

"What did he do to you?"

"Him? He's a beast. He called this woman in front of me and made her dance to seduce me, but then he tied me up so I could only watch.

Then she seduced me, and then poured cold water on me, torturing me all the time.

I was tortured by him, and he even played against me!

What a beast! What a beast! What a beast!
