Chapter 23: Justification and Thanksgiving
"Wrong?!"
Shao Yinmu's shouting and questioning shocked Shao Yinmu: Neither himself nor the old lady, how many Shao masters are there in the Shao family? Shao Yinmu quickly went through his relatives and friends in his mind, and there were only two people who could be called adults when they entered the court, and they kept saying that they wanted to find Lord Shao, was it a mistake!
After thinking about it, the face of his brother Shao Yinshui appeared in front of him, but then he threw it out of his mind: he himself said that he had been wandering the rivers and lakes for the past 20 years, how could he become an adult? Shao Yinmu thought about it more and more chaotically, seeing that Mei Siping's face was getting worse and worse, his heart was crossed, and he said: "Forgive Shao for being stupid, please make it clear to the two adults, what is it that you want to see that Lord Shao, and Shao is so good to find someone to come out."

It turned out that he didn't know who we were looking for.
Mei Siping's face turned slightly, but he was still a little angry: "Hmph, it's good to say that I don't know, I have to make these jokes!"
After Shao Yinmu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the young man, who had a calm face and spit out a sentence lightly: "In the Xia Jiangnan case, the deputy envoy of the Fu Division, the name is inconvenient to reveal, what I am looking for is Lord Shao Yinshui Shao." ”
With that, the young man took out a hand card from his bosom. The size of the palm of the hand, the whole body is pitch black, the light is bright, as if made of glass, on which is carved with the image of a fox, teeth and claws, looking at it to move.
The hand was immediately revealed, but the lookers were impressed.
There are only five jade plaques in the entire Yang Dynasty, and only five are distributed in five regions, which can only be mastered by the local case envoys. The case is in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases, and the prefect of the imperial capital is called the case fu secretary, who is among the nine secretaries; and the case fu envoy assigned to the five places is a senior official of the fourth grade, and unlike ordinary civil and military officials, he judges and convicts cases, has great power, and does not dare to provoke him when he is idle.
The deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Case Fu Division, who is also a senior official from the fourth grade, although he is only a local official, he is in charge of the entire Jiangnan criminal prison case, whether it is strength or power, the gap between him and a city lord is very different. No wonder the Shattered Cloud City Lord personally accompanied.
Others may be surprised by the power of the young man in Xuanyi, but the father and son of the Shao family are shocked by the words of the young man in Xuanyi.
"Lord Shao Yinshui!"
The people present were all veterans of officialdom, and when the young man mentioned Shao Yinshui's name, it was impossible not to hear the respect in his tone.
"The deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Case Fu Division is already a member of the fourth grade, and he can be respectfully called an "adult" by the fourth-grade official, how big an official is Shao Yinshui?!" Shao Yinmu was shocked in his heart, and after returning home, his brother's calm appearance appeared in front of him, and the contempt for his brother in his heart disappeared, "It's ridiculous, I also proudly said that I am the official position of the eighth grade......
While Shao Yinmu smiled bitterly, Old Lady Shao looked at his son with an angry expression.
The young man waited for a long time and didn't answer, so he had to cough and wake Shao Yinmu up: "Time is pressing, I have other things to do, can you take me to see Master Shao?"
"Okay, please move, my brother is in the ancestral hall at this time. Shao Yin came back to his senses, hurriedly opened his mouth to indicate the location, and personally led the way to the ancestral hall. The deputy envoy of the case Fu Division and the city lord of Shattered Cloud followed him, and the old lady of the Shao family was also supported by people on crutches and walked towards the ancestral hall.
On the way to the ancestral hall, Shao Yinshui kept complaining about himself, but he figured it out again as he walked: it has become a fact, and it is useless to regret that he is not well entertained, originally he was too proud and arrogant, and if it is not good, it is a dog who looks down on people, Shao Yinmu smiled bitterly and decided not to look at people by status again.
The distance is not far, it will arrive in a moment, and the moment he stepped into the ancestral hall, although he was mentally prepared, when he saw his brother and Shen Wanbang, who looked like Jianghu people, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, but others didn't think so.
In the ancestral hall, there are four people, sitting or lying, talking and writing. The environment is quiet, the sandalwood is curling, the ancestral spirit is above, and the living are below. Shao Zhengwu lay on the bed and closed his eyes and meditated, Shao Zhengwu wrote concentrating in front of the desk, and Shao Yinshui and Shen Wanbang sat on the side and whispered.
The door of the ancestral hall opened, and except for Shao Zhengwen, the other three people all looked at the door.
Shao Yinmu was the first to walk in the door, get out of the way, and said to his brother, "Big brother, two adults are coming to you." ”
Shao Yinshui sat down steadily, and as soon as the young man saw Shao Yinshui, he immediately walked in front of him and called him "Lord Shao", and bent down to salute.
The boss of the Shao family, who was originally unruly and unruly, also became more majestic at this moment, and he remained silent to the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Case Fu Division, from the respectful salute of the fourth-rank official, and then asked in a deep voice: "How is the matter I told you to do?"
"Tell your lord, with the help of the Lord of Shattered Cloud City, all the investigations have been clarified. ”
Shao Yinshui's gaze swept over the Shattered Cloud City Lord standing by the door, and nodded, the latter hurriedly bowed and saluted, "This is a matter of humble duty. After that, his eyes turned to Shen Wanbang beside him, and he smiled: "Brother Shen doesn't have to be worried, I have found out the facts, and I will make the woman innocent in a few days." ”
"Ah...... Ah......" Shen Wanbang looked shocked and speechless, he originally thought that he was just a big brother who was just a miscellaneous servant of Shao Mansion, but he suddenly became a big man who made the city lord of Shattered Cloud want to be called humble, this sudden change made him stunned, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and instantly burst into tears, crying: "Okay! Okay! Thank you Brother Shao!"
"Well, let's talk about the results of the investigation here. ”
Shao Yinshui commanded, and the young man saluted and said yes. Then he stood in the center of the ancestral hall, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said loudly: "I was entrusted by Lord Shao to investigate the situation of the hungry ghost Qin Yi'an. ”
"After my investigation, Qin Yi'an confirmed that he was dead. ”
"And the few people who sacrificed the most for the scourge of Jiangnan and Qin Yi'an, I think it is worth us to correct their names. The deputy envoy of the case department looked at Shao Yinshui, and after getting a nod of approval, he first turned around and bowed to Shen Wanbangdao. Somehow, Shao Yinmu's restless feeling returned. But the young man didn't care about his thoughts, and paused and continued: "First of all, thank you to Boss Shen's daughter, it was Shen Nu who first discovered that it was Qin Yi'an, a hungry ghost in the sex, who first found out that it was Qin Yi'an who came into contact with her, and put herself in danger, so that Qin Yi'an thought he had succeeded, and risked his life to lead Qin Yi'an into the plan." ”
Shen Wanbang raised his head, his teary eyes were full of shock, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately threw himself on the ground and thanked him loudly.
The young man helped Shen Wanbang up, turned to Shao Yinmu, clasped his fists and saluted: "Secondly, I would like to thank Shao Xuezheng for making Gongzi still approach Qin Yi'an even though he knew that Qin Yi'an was a hungry ghost, and relaxed his vigilance, so that Qin Yi'an could be tricked." ”
Shao Yinmu trembled, walked in three steps and two steps in front of Shao Zhengwu, sat facing his son, turned his back to his son, patted his legs several times and sighed, and finally sighed: "Wu'er, you, you, why don't you tell your father!"
Shao Zhengwu turned around at this time, looked at his father and looked at him seriously: "Father, I have decided, I want to follow my uncle to the rivers and lakes!" After speaking, he looked at Shao Yinshui again, "Uncle has agreed!"
Shao Yinmu looked at his son with a firm gaze, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Okay, I agree! ”
Shao Zhengwu finally smiled when he got what he wanted, stood up and hugged his father and said with a smile: "Thank you, father, I will definitely take down the name of a hero and glorify my ancestors for the Shao family!"
"Hey, don't ask for glory to the ancestors," Shao Yinmu sighed, as if he was a teenager old, "I just ask you to be safe!"
On the other side, the deputy envoy of the Case Fu Division bowed to Shao Yinshui and the Shattered Cloud City Lord in turn: "Thank you Lord Shao and Lord Mei for their clever calculations, so that Qin Yi'an confessed his guilt and surrendered to the law!"
Mei Siping waved his hand, indicating that this was a matter of duty, and Shao Yinshui nodded and motioned to continue.
The young man finally turned to Shao Zhengwen, who was lying on the bed: "I admire Shao's second son even more." Miss Shen was overly frightened and mentally unstable after the arrest of Qin Yi'an, Shao Ergongzi didn't care about gossip, and his deep affection for Miss Shen was as always, and his love and heart were so deep that he was touching. ”
"But that's it, there are still people who are obstructed, and they don't know the truth and make judgments in vain, treat Shao Ergongzi's family law, and write a letter to make Miss Shen's emotions move again, I heard that Shao Ergongzi began to look for death and life after he was punished, let this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks break up with a stick, it's really a good thing!" The young man didn't even look at Shao Yinmu, just looked at Shen Wanbang, "I have already sent my daughter to check, Miss Shen is still perfect, Boss Shen doesn't have to worry, such a fierce and brave woman will definitely find a good home!"
Since the morning, Shao Zhengwen, who has been half-asleep and half-awake, has woken up when he first heard the name of his beloved, and at this moment he burst into tears, and after hearing the praise of the young man for himself, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried.
It was only at this time that Shao Yinmu realized what was the reason for today's restlessness! He walked to the bedridden man's bed, touched his second son's forehead with trembling hands, and said in a loud voice: "Wen'er, I blame you for being wrong......
At this time, the young man continued: "People of merit should not be harmed by gossip! I suggest that an announcement be made tomorrow to announce the ins and outs of this matter to the whole city, so as to correct the names of Shao Sangongzi and Miss Shen!
"Of course, Xia Guan has no objection, but I have an idea," Mei Siping walked over and helped Shen Wanbang up, and led him to Shao Yinmu, "These two juniors of your two families are in love and have the same heart, even if it happens, they can't be separated, this official thinks that there is no need to find another person, I will be the matchmaker, so that the two children will eventually become dependents! You are the parents of both families, you all agree." ”
This matter was originally something that Shen Wanbang could not ask for, and after listening to the account of the deputy envoy of the case Fu Division, Shao Yinmu already regretted this morning's incident; finally someone came to help them match, and the two families were naturally indispensable.
Seeing this situation, the young man turned his head and smiled with Shao Yinshui who was sitting on the chair.
