091 Mysterious Forces
"This little friend, may I ask if you recognize me?"
Shen Yichen was wearing a t-shirt, which meant he had a reputation as a scholar, so Zhao Tongpan politely called him Xiaoyou.
"I don't recognize it."
The answer was very straightforward. Shen Yichen really didn't know Zhao Tongpan. The reason why he knew his official position was because he saw clearly that the patch on the official uniform was a heron.
Lu Eun means a sixth-grade civil servant. Those in the sixth-grade position in Zhenjiang Prefecture only have the position of general judge. And he also leads the patrol, which confirms his scope of authority. If you can't guess this, then Shen Yichen also Bai Yingtian has been in the "officialdom" for so long.
How dare you be so arrogant if you don't recognize him?
Zhao Tongpan felt a little angry now. Judging from his aura, he thought Shen Yichen was a big shot with a background, but in the end he acted like a fool, which was really bluffing.
"Uncle Zhao Shi, this guy is just a scholar who is pretending to be a ghost. Take him down together and then report him to the academic officer to be expelled!"
Su Wen had already been "bluffed" by Shen Yichen once before, and now he was even more angry when he saw that this kid still dared to pretend to fool Zhao Tongpan.
A poor scholar who pretends to be a relative of the emperor is really wasting his talents by taking the imperial examination. If he wants to dance for great masters or something like that, I'm afraid Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain will have to make way for him.
Originally, Shen Yichen was quite serious, but he never expected that Su Wen actually mentioned being an academic officer.
Brother, the biggest academic official in Nanzhili is Admiral Sun Ding. Not long ago, I had a celebration banquet with him, and he has the title of "seat teacher".
You said today that you want Sun Tixue to expel me from my position?
Thinking of this, Shen Yichen couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Shen Yichen actually laughing, Zhao Tongpan also thought that he was being fooled, so the other party couldn't help laughing now.
I am a high-ranking judge, but I am being teased in the street by a yellow-haired boy. How can I bear this?
"Take them both down together and put them in jail first!"
Now Zhao Tongpan had no scruples anymore and waved his hand, preparing to interrogate Shen Yichen and the other two.
When the people watching saw this scene, they didn't know what to say.
After all, the young man couldn't keep his temper, so he just had to be tough with these young men. Zhao Tongpan was a serious official, could he be offended by a mere showman?
This is a good time, because if you are dismissed from the job, your hard work will be nullified.
"Brother Ye, are we still going to take action?"
Seeing that Shen Yichen was about to be captured, the strong men who stood up began to become anxious.
"You can't take action. If you start a patrol, you will soon attract the garrison officers and soldiers, and then things will become a big deal."
Brother Ye shook his head. It was okay to deal with those young masters, but if he took action against the imperial officials, it would be tantamount to rebellion.
"Well, I can only blame this young scholar for his unlucky fortune."
The strong man who was called Wang Neng before could only sigh at this moment.
Originally, this young man could get help from me, but who would have expected that the General Inspector of Zhenjiang Prefecture would personally lead the inspection team.
This rare situation can happen. Shen Yichen is indeed very unlucky.
"Wait a minute, can Zhao Tongpan let me say one more thing?"
Shen Yichen saw that the other party was ready to get tough, but he remained calm in the face of danger and just asked for a word.
"Okay, I would like to hear what you have to say."
After all, Shen Yichen still has fame and fame. Even if he doesn't have much background, he still has the ability to make things big.
Zhao Tongpan was also a man who experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. He was not like a second-generation official who did things without considering the consequences.
In addition, Shen Yichen has behaved calmly and calmly so far, so it would be right to be more cautious.
Shen Yichen was seen taking a step closer to Zhao Tongpan, then turning sideways and whispering: "Zhao Tongpan, I'm Shen Yichen of Yingtian Mansion, and Admiral Sun Zhengsun is the one who has chosen me as my master."
This simple sentence sounded like lightning and thunder in Zhao Tongpan's ears. He was so shocked that his face changed and he was stunned on the spot.
"You...you...are you Shen Yichen, the leader of the Little Three Yuan case?"
The scholar couldn't scare Zhao Tongpan, and Xiao Sanyuan, the head of the case, couldn't tell the truth to scare him so much.
However, when the name of Academic Supervisor Sun Ding came out, it was enough to frighten Zhao Tongpian to death. The reason was that Sun Ding was not only an academic officer, but also served as the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
There is a clear record in the history of the Ming Dynasty: The imperial censor of the capital was responsible for correcting hundreds of officials, defending those who were wronged, and supervising various departments.
To put it simply, the censor, as the emperor's eyes and ears, has the power to supervise all officials, inspect government roads, correct punishments and prisons, etc.
So what Shen Yichen said before is that Zhao Tong has judged the authority of a high official and is not afraid of being reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
It's not as simple as just talking, but he really has the ability to report it to Sun Ding to review Zhao Tongpan!
In the past, in Yingtian Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there were many important ministers, and Shen Yichen looked like a little shrimp, everyone was a big boss.
But now that we are in a certain place, we can see the power of the connections behind Shen Yichen when we meet those who are lawless just because they have someone behind them.
Whether it's Sun Ding, Lin Zhen, or even the cheap man Cheng Guogong who is only in name, pulling out one person at random is like a big mountain to local officials!
Hearing Zhao Tongpan read out his name, Shen Yichen's face was full of helplessness. He was not a high-profile person. If the other party hadn't planned to take someone away, Shen Yichen would not have mentioned Sun Ding's name. To oppress people.
But now that we've come this far, there's nothing to hide. Sometimes it's time to take advantage of the situation and just go with it.
"That's right, it's down there."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar!
Zhenjiang Prefecture is not far from Yingtian Prefecture, and as one of the two capitals, news of almost any major event will be transmitted quickly.
Shen Yichen's background, poetry, Xiao Sanyuan case, and other experiences have long been circulated in Zhenjiang Prefecture. The brothel painting boat on the inner canal has to sing "Jinmingchi" many times every night.
Unexpectedly, this legendary young talent suddenly appeared in Zhenjiang Mansion.
"No wonder when I first saw him, I felt that this young master was extraordinary. He turned out to be the head of the case."
"Not only has literary talent but also chivalry, Shen Anshou is truly a talented person."
“A gentleman helps those in need and those in danger, and what he did was truly worthy of the words and deeds of a gentleman.”
"They should have worked harder to recruit me before. If I could spend a night with Mr. Shen, I would be willing to pay him some money."
"Dream, Mr. Shen likes you?"
As the people around him started talking, Zhao Tongpan also recovered from the shock, and immediately raised his hands and said to Shen Yichen.
"It turns out it's Shen, the head of the case, and I was rude. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Zhao Tongpan knew very well that despite Shen Yichen's mere reputation as a scholar, the power behind him was astonishing.
If you provoke him today, you may have to be demoted from the position of Tongpan tomorrow, so Zhao Tongpan puts himself in a very low position, even in the position of a lower official.
"Uncle Zhao Shi, this guy is really good at pretending. Don't believe what he says about the head of the case!"
Su Wen saw that Zhao Tongpan seemed to take it seriously and immediately refuted it.
The son of the famous Duke Cheng Guo, the head of the Xiao Sanyuan case in Yingtian Mansion, would he look like this poor person?
Moreover, this kid has already bluffed twice tonight, who can guarantee that this is not the third time?
There was only a crisp "pop" sound, and Zhao Tongpuan slapped Su Wen in the face without hesitation.
Words can be faked, but the momentum cannot be faked!
Zhao Tongpan did not dare to say that he knew countless people, at least he could not feel Shen Yichen's calmness and composure in any sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
If you had not seen the world, you would never be able to do this.
"Senior Chief Shen, this boy is young and ignorant and neglects discipline. This may have disturbed you. How about I prepare a banquet to cleanse Mr. Shen from his misfortune. I hope you will not remember the mistakes of others."
Anyone who can hang out in the officialdom cannot be some stupid young man. Zhao Tongjian understood that he must have offended Shen Yichen today and had to find a way to make amends with him.
Of course, if the other party is not relieved, then serving wine is only the first step. There will always be a way to satisfy Shen Yichen later.
"No need, Zhao Tongpan is busy with official duties, so he should go and do important things."
Shen Yichen had no interest in eating with this kind of second-generation official scum, and he also knew very well that he could use Sun Ding's name to suppress people, but it would be difficult to impose any substantial punishment.
After all, in any local officialdom, there are some intricate connections, and only when you have a big handle can you take action. Today, these things are not even trivial matters in the officialdom, and there is no way to go further.
"Su Wen, you still haven't apologized to Chief Shen!"
Faced with Shen Yichen's refusal to accept the invitation, Zhao Tongpan thought that the other party was still angry, so he quickly asked the person involved to bow his head and apologize.
Su Wen was also awakened by Zhao Tongpan's slap this time, and realized that the other party might be a dragon that could not be offended.
So he respectfully walked up to Shen Yichen, bowed his head and apologized: "Senior Chief Shen, I am the villain who made the mistake. I hope you will be more generous."
What Su Wen didn't expect was that Shen Yichen didn't look at him at all. Instead, he walked out of the crowd and came to the group of homeless children. He knelt down and said gently: "How is it? Is the duck blood soup delicious?"
Children are naive and don't know what is going on in the crowd, so when asked by Shen Yichen, they happily replied: "It tastes good, thank you, big brother."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Tongpan's face darkened, and he said to Su Wen: "Let's go, let's discuss this matter in the long run."
After saying that, he led the patrolman and this group of young men and left the scene in a hurry.
At the same time, the group of strong men who were watching what happened were staring at Shen Yichen.
"Brother Ye, is this the Shen Yichen that Master Bian mentioned?"
"That should be it. After all, Yingtian Mansion doesn't have two little three-yuan criminals."
"I still remember Master Bian saying that Shen Yichen has great potential in the future, and maybe it will be a way out for us in the future. Looking at it today, it is indeed outstanding. There are not many literati that I, Zheng Xiang, can admire, and Shen Yichen can be counted as one."
A man named Zheng Xiangsi looked at Shen Yichen with admiration in his eyes. There were few literati like Shen Yichen who could pay attention to the refugee children at the lowest level.
"Brother Ye, what should we do next?"
Wang Neng asked, but Shen Yichen's sudden appearance made him a little confused.
"That Su Wen left with a fierce look on his face just now, I'm afraid things are not that simple."
"Zheng Xiang, Cang Huotou, you two will secretly follow Chief Shen to protect him. I will lead the rest of the people to follow the original plan."
