Chapter 1141 A Big Blow

Zhou Shuren invited someone in and brought a cup of tea. After Yuyan was waiting outside, he asked, "Why did Fourth Uncle come to the Ministry of Revenue to look for me?"

Yu Yun's face was extremely ugly. God knows how he failed to control his emotions in front of Shi Huai. "Today I made an appointment with Shi Huai to go to the teahouse to see the excitement. I met a man who was Shi Huai's business partner in the early years. He was about 40 years old and his last name was Gu."

Zhou Shuren sat up straight after hearing this and asked seriously, "Does Fourth Uncle know him?"

Yu Yin shook his head, "I don't know him, but I recognize his face. He should be Zhang Xiaowu's child. They look very similar."

This was the first time Zhou Shuren had heard of a member of the Zhang family. "Zhang Xiaowu?"

Yu Yin fell into recollection, "The direct line of the Zhang family is different from our Rong family. They are the pure direct line. This Zhang Xiaowu is the fifth child. Back then, the emperor's father was the second child. Zhang Laoda died in childhood, but he was ranked standing."

Zhou Shuren thought, looking at his fourth uncle, and then thinking about his father, the emperor, he should be dead. If he was really alive, he would not live to see his full age. "Didn't Zhang Xiaowu get married back then?"

Yu Yin pointed his fingertips, "No, but I was engaged. I was only fourteen at the time."

Zhou Shuren asked, "What is your plan for coming to see me?"

Yu Yin sighed, "Originally I was thinking of investigating it myself, but now that I've found someone who might be from the Zhang family, I can only tell the emperor."

He was not only entangled with Shi Huai's original self Shang Jia, but even though the Shi family had left office, he was still wary of the emperor. Although he didn't know the secrets of the Rong family, he knew that they must have been hidden. He was afraid that if the emperor found out, nothing would be left of the Rong family.

Now I can only sigh that I actually met someone who might be from the Zhang family. I can only sigh that it might be God's will.

Zhou Shuren fiddled with his teacup, and knew what was going on. "Should I bring my fourth uncle into the palace now?"

Fourth uncle couldn't enter the palace alone. In order not to attract attention, he cut off contact with the royal family. The emperor probably didn't expect that fourth uncle would find out anything.

Yuyun, "Yeah."

Nearly an hour later, Zhou Shuren had arrived at the Zheng Palace. As for the Zhang family, he felt that it would be better for him to know less, so he asked for permission to wait outside, and the emperor agreed.

However, Zhou Shuren felt that his fourth uncle was looking at him deeply. After all, he was not a member of the Rong family, and he didn't want to get involved in anything now.

In the study, Yu Yun told all his findings and asked the Zhou family to go to Pingzhou to investigate the Shi family.

emperor,"......"

Prince, "......"

Yu Yun was very upset when he saw that the two most honorable people were silent. If Shi Huai was the child back then, this scene would be really wonderful. And the culprit behind all this was the current emperor!

Even though Zhou Shuren knew what his fourth uncle was thinking, he remained calm. Although he and his wife had their reasons for fanning the flames, at least the Shi family members were living well compared to the previous life!

The emperor was shocked, and then felt a little guilty. Shi Qing was a knife in his hand, and he married into the Yao family just to hate Yao Wenqi. Now, if Rong Si's discovery was true, then it was the Rong family that was hated.

Really, he didn't know what to say, and only looked at the prince.

The prince twitched his lips, feeling that it was really ridiculous, but he had to face it, so he cleared his throat and asked, "Do you want to tell me about Shi Qing's situation?"

The emperor came back to his senses, "......"

Yu-Hyun had a bad feeling, "What else is going on?"

When the emperor saw the current situation, he could only say, "Shi Qing was poisoned while on duty, which affected his future offspring. It will be difficult for him to have an offspring."

Yu Yun was so shocked that he felt dizzy while sitting there. He had secretly thought more than once that if it was really Shi Huai, then Shi Qing would just have another child. This was truly a huge shock and he passed out.

Zhou Shuren only heard a plop, followed by the prince's shout, "Call the imperial physician."

Zhou Shuren followed Eunuch Liu in and saw Yu Yin lying on the ground. "This time?"

The prince said with a wooden face, "It was quite a shock."

The emperor was silent. It was not just that the shock he received was a little too great.

Zhou Shuren, "......."

He guessed it.

The imperial physician came quickly and gave Yu Yin acupuncture, and he woke up.

The emperor said, "Maybe we can find out it's not the Shi family."

Yu Yun felt heavy in his heart. "He feels very familiar to me, especially his eyes. I hope so."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren went home, had dinner and told his wife.

Zhu Lan thought too much, "I remember that the original story had the female protagonist in the story, Shi Qing died after failing to seize the throne. Now it seems that the Shi family and the Zhang family must have had a lot of ties, but in the end they failed and were liquidated, and we still got away with it, and Shi Qing is alive and well."

Zhou Shuren, "So I survived, and the uncontrollable future happened. There must be consequences for every cause. After I passed the death knot, I still had a rough life."

"These are just guesses. We might be overthinking. It's not the Shi family's fault!"

Zhou Shuren continued, "The Emperor took over the investigation of the Shi family. In order not to alert the enemy, he did not arrest the fourth uncle. He encountered the Zhang family and sent people to follow them. Moreover."

Zhu Lan continued, "And the Emperor told Fourth Uncle not to move and to continue to be friends with Master Shi, hoping to catch more fish along this line. I took the initiative to greet Master Shi today because Mr. Shi works in the court, in the Ministry of Revenue and Commerce, and is in charge of registered merchants. For this reason, I will continue to look for Master Shi."

"My wife is really smart. Indeed, the emperor's intention is to keep an eye on it."

It turned out that the Zhang family knew the capital too well and had been operating there for so many years, so they had too many escape routes and had escaped several times during encirclement and suppression operations. This opportunity was too rare.

Zhulan said: "Let's just protect ourselves."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes."

The next day, Master Liu Song came to visit Chang Zhi in person. Chang Zhi greeted him with a smile, "Brother Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Liu Song was very humble, not arrogant. "I admire Brother Zhou's profound knowledge, so I came to visit you today to see your study."

The Liu family had a large collection of books, but after several conversations and inquiries with Zhou Changzhi, he discovered that Zhou Changzhi read particularly widely. In addition, he also wanted to make friends with Zhou Changzhi, so he visited him in person.

Changzhi was not a stingy person. "Then let's go to my study. Actually, there are many manuscripts in my study, and some are my wife's dowry."

My daughter-in-law's father collected a lot of books back then, and my daughter-in-law moved them back home one by one. She also specially copied some books from the Su family's collection from Su's hometown. Together with her master's books, his bookshelf is really rich.

Liu Song was stunned when he came in. There were so many bookshelves, and they were all filled with books. Fortunately, he still remembered the etiquette and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Changzhi held out his hand, "Of course."

Zhulan also learned the news and ignored her son's social life.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Shi Qing was preoccupied with something and was distracted the whole time.
