45.4.15
Shen Yu was silent.
The wind swept across the windowsill, and the little white fox didn't know where it came from, and when he saw Shen Yan's familiar figure, he rushed over, squatting on the windowsill and looking at the two curiously.
"The sky is high and the earth is wide in the capital, and Brother Yi should still focus on his studies." Shen Yu reached out and hugged the white fox in her arms, feeling that her throat was dry, so she turned around and took a teacup to the table to moisten her throat.
Qin Yu was still standing by the window, his eyes moved with her, and a strange feeling erupted - if he was not Qin Xiong's son, if he could be like Zhu Yun, he had a close relationship with the Shen family, and he could freely choose his marriage and guard his beloved girl. How nice would that be?
Qin Xiong's stern and cold face suddenly appeared in front of him, it was like the hardest ice wall in the world, and it was also like the sharpest blade, coldly blocking in front of him, cutting off the connection between him and Shen Yan.
If you dare to turn your back on Shen Yan, I will crush the Shen family and scatter the ashes!
It was a threat that Qin Xiong gritted his teeth.
Qin Yu believed that with his father's viciousness, he could really do such a thing. He can even sacrifice his own daughter, what else can't he do?
Resentment and coldness suddenly swept through his eyes, Qin Yue clenched his fists, and forcibly suppressed his feelings.
On September 14, eight carriages drove out of Qinfu.
Qin Zhen, the eldest son of the Qin family, took the lead, and the first four guards were lined up, all wearing armor and protecting themselves, and the momentum was very grand.
The first blue-curtained carriage was simple and elegant, looking at the people around him, it should be the second son Qin Yu sitting inside. There was a sturdy horse tied to his carriage, and the warriors next to him were sturdy and capable, apparently the two brothers led the guards to open the way.
The carriage in the back was particularly beautifully decorated, surrounded by a group of rough mothers-in-law, and it is said that Madame Qin was sitting inside. The next two cars are also beautiful and gorgeous, followed by servants and maids, who should be Huo Zongqing and Qin Ni, the eldest girl of the Qin family.
In the last two carriages sat maids with status, and the next two were obviously used for miscellaneous items.
At the end, two teams of capable young men rode horses to accompany them.
This formation is much bigger than when King Duan entered the city, and the people on the side of the road stopped to watch, talking that this Qin family is really magnificent, and Mrs. Qin is such a big battle when she goes out to incense.
When the news reached Shen Yan's ears, she was quite surprised.
She naturally knew that this team of carriages and horses was not for Mrs. Shen to go out of the city and enter the incense, it should be what Qin Yu said, to go to the capital.
But even if Qin went to Beijing in a hurry, why did Mrs. Shen follow him to Beijing so quickly? It is said that the marriage date of Qin Ni and the eldest son of Qi Ge is next year, and the fire in the White Crane Tower is only a month away.
Doubts are doubts, these things are nothing more than speculation after tea and dinner, but they have nothing to do with the Shen family.
She was in the study building at this moment, following Shen Ping to count the books that were about to be sent to the academy for the last time.
After breakfast the next day, I waited for a long time, and saw Lou Zhen, the dean of the college, with a few students, as well as He Wenyuan, who temporarily received the book, and Zhu Yun, the newly arrived Tongzhi, who came with him.
Shen Ping was a little surprised, originally said that Vice President Zhu would bring someone to pick it up, but now why did Lou Zhen come and bring He Wenyuan?
Accidents are accidents, but the etiquette is indispensable, Shen Ping immediately welcomed everyone into the mansion, used a little tea in the living room, and then went to the study building.
These books have been checked and sorted out by the father and daughter for a long time, and Lou Zhen read the books one by one, so he asked the students who came with him to put them in boxes and then move them to the car that had been prepared outside. Shen Ping accompanied him for a while, and He Wenyuan admired the name of the Shen family's book collection for a long time, so he proposed to go inside.
Shen Ping naturally would not refuse, and accompanied He Wenyuan and Zhu Yun to go inside, while Shen Yan and Lou Zhen worked together to count the selected books.
Seeing that the inventory was about to be finished, she suddenly heard a muffled sound behind her, followed by the sound of books falling to the ground, which made Shen Yan feel distressed. She hurriedly looked over and saw that the student who was carrying the books accidentally bumped into the bookshelf next to her, scattering hundreds of books on the shelf on the ground.
The student also knew that he had caused trouble, apologized repeatedly, and stopped moving the books, and asked the five students in the same company to come and put the bookshelves in place first.
Shen Yan saw that the books were not damaged, so she didn't go over to look, and still counted them with Lou Zhen.
Before I ordered seven or eight volumes, I suddenly heard a "huh" behind me, and some students said with surprise: "This book is so strange!" Someone next to him asked, "What's wrong?" Then I heard him suddenly say a loud "ah", and said in a loud voice: "This...... This...... This! ”
Under such circumstances, where could Shen Yan still do things quietly, so she had to walk over, and saw the student named Wu Han holding a booklet wrapped in a book jacket and handing it to Lou Zhen, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Dean, look at this ......"
Shen Yu was inexplicable, when she looked at the book clothes, there was no ink on it, as for the content, the book was in Lou Zhen's hands, and she naturally couldn't see half a word.
Lou Zhen turned two pages with the book in his hand, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he walked in quickly without saying a word.
Wu Han looked at Shen Yan, his eyes were cold. Shen Yan wanted to ask about the situation, but she was not familiar with these people in front of her, and looking at their expressions, it seemed that this book was a hot potato, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and followed Lou Zhen over, and heard that He Wenyuan was already angry there: "Shen Ping, you are so bold!" ”
This angry rebuke made Shen Yan's heart tremble, and when she turned around the bookshelf, she saw that Shen Ping had bowed his head and knelt on the ground, He Wenyuan on the opposite side was full of anger, Lou Zhen was standing on the side, and Zhu Yun was in a hurry, but the book was turned over, and his face was pale.
Suddenly, Shen Yu subconsciously guessed something, and she couldn't care about the etiquette under the shock, so she stepped forward: "Brother Zhu, what is that?" ”
Zhu Yun didn't speak, walked in front of her in two steps, and spread the booklet in front of her, which was full of seven-character poems. This book is nothing, but Zhu Yun looked at the title page, and what caught his eye was four elegant words - Vimo Layman.
Prince Zhaoming!
Shen Yu was shocked.
Vimo Jushi is the name of Prince Zhaoming, who is the eldest brother of the current emperor, that is, Xu Yan's eldest brother. Although he was born in the royal family, but since childhood to the Buddha, temperament is tranquil, as the prince he had the name of corporal Lixian, as a literati, his poems and calligraphy are fresh and handsome, famous, when writing poems often use this number.
These are nothing, but twelve years ago, Prince Zhaoming died suddenly, it is said that it was a felony of intending to kill the monarch and plot rebellion, and the entire government of Prince Zhaoming and his henchmen were executed.
and so far ascended the throne, he has listed 28 of his crimes, and his poetry and writings have been detained on the charge of demagoguery and misleading people, and have been listed as banned. Book.
Now Prince Zhaoming's poetry collection actually appeared in the Shen family's library......
Shen Yu only felt that her back was cold to the bone, and her hairs stood on end when she thought about it-every book in this library was taken care of by her and Shen Ping herself, how could there be such a thing?
Although the Shen family is far away from the Jingshi, Shen Yu has also heard of the case of Prince Zhaoming that shocked the world twelve years ago, when Prince Zhaoming was almost wiped out, and Emperor Huiping ascended to the throne as the prince.
The relationship between the current emperor and Prince Zhaoming can be seen.
And now, Prince Zhaoming's poetry collection has appeared in the Shen family...... This is no ordinary ban. Book!
Moreover, this book is not a thing of the Shen family!
After thinking about it, Shen Yu couldn't help but shudder.
Zhu Yun next to him immediately spoke, "Where did this book come from?" ”
"It was Wu Han who accidentally knocked over the bookshelf and fell out of that pile of old books." Lou Zhen said, "I have seen it with my own eyes, and several students are also witnesses. The book is from the Shen family, and I also ask Lord He to make a clear decision. ”
- Since the Xue Wanrong incident, Wuchuan Xuezheng's seat has been vacant, although He Wenyuan's official position is still the fifth grade, he holds the power of Xue Wanrong's fourth-grade official, so Lou Zhen is extremely respectful to him.
Zhu Yun's eyes were sharp, and he looked straight at Lou Zhen, "How did Dean Lou conclude that this book is the Shen family's thing?" ”
Shen Ping next to him immediately said: "The Shen family has collected books for three generations, and each book is carefully selected, and they will never dare to hide it. Book, please be aware of it! ”
"In your opinion, this book is not yours anymore?" He Wenyuan usually likes to drink and watch dances, and has developed a fat waist, he is shy with that poop belly, and squints at Shen Ping, "But it obviously fell from your bookshelf, Dean Lou is a witness, and those students are also witnesses, and you still want to deny it?" ”
Without waiting for Shen Ping to reply, he took the book and walked to the door a few steps and asked, "Who found this?" ”
"It's me." Wu Han lowered his head and stood up, his voice trembling a little, "When we sorted out the books, it was in the pile of books, and everyone was witnessing. ”
"Is that true?" He Wenyuan asked.
The students didn't dare not answer, and they all whispered: "It was indeed picked out from the pile of books." ”
He Wenyuan immediately turned his head to Shen Ping and said, "These people are all witnesses, what else do you have to say?" Dare to hide it privately. Book, Shen Ping, where did you get the guts! He shouted loudly: "Grab it and send it to the government office!" ”
"Wait!" Zhu Yun was also in a hurry, stepped forward and stopped in front of Shen Ping, and said, "The Shen family has collected books for three generations, and they will not be unable to distinguish the forbidden. Book. Moreover, if he is forbidden. Books should also be hidden, how can they be placed in such a conspicuous place so that people can find them out lightly? This matter is full of suspicions, and I ask Lord He to investigate. ”
"There are all human and material evidence, and if there is any suspicion, someone will come to inquire about it." He Wenyuan said sharply: "Take Shen Ping away!" ”
Shen Yu is in a hurry, where is she willing to let her father be framed for such a crime! That book is definitely not the Shen family's thing, it must have been stuffed in by someone just now, when will it be? When he was choosing a book, several students were there, and unless he had the means to do magic, he would no longer make a "ban on picking up the book in the book series" in front of everyone. book" thing, then it is......
She suddenly said urgently: "This book is not ours, although it comes from the pile of books, but it was ...... just now"
Her voice suddenly stopped, just because Shen Ping suddenly raised his head and gave her a sharp look.
Shen Yu has grown so big, and she has never seen such a look in Shen Ping's eyes, so she choked and swallowed the words behind her. She looked at Shen Ping in surprise, and saw that the fierce look in his eyes was still there, but he shook his head with an undetectable amplitude, signaling her to silence.
Daddy, this is ...... Shen Yu was in a hurry, and her brain couldn't turn around.
Obviously, someone framed him, but if he finds out at this time, he can get away with the crime. If you don't talk about it now, after Shen Ping is arrested, the government will send someone to investigate, how can it be so easy to clear the suspicion and clarify the truth?
But looking at Shen Ping's appearance, it is obvious that she is not allowed to defend now.
Shen Yu was puzzled, and the six gods turned her head to look at Zhu Yun without a master, and saw that he also looked at Shen Ping with surprise on his face.
"Brother Zhu, ......" Shen Yu's voice trembled a little.
Zhu Yun stood beside her, signaled her not to be afraid, and then spoke: "Lord He, the matter is big, and there are many doubts, so you should still ...... it."
"Since someone saw the forbidden. books, then look into it. Shen Ping interrupted him suddenly, straightened his back and stood up, and said, "The Shen family is square and dignified, I believe that Master He can return the innocence of the grass people." ”
Shen Yu and Zhu Yun were both extremely surprised. From the student knocking over the bookshelf, Wu Han picked it up. book, Lou Zhen handed over to He Wenyuan, this series of things were arranged by someone, so He Wenyuan obviously insisted on "banning private collection. book" is detained on Shen Ping's head, can he return Shen Ping's innocence?
Neither of them understood Shen Ping's plan, but He Wenyuan had already taken Shen Ping out.
Shen Ping was still panicked just now, but now he has shown his composure. When he was about to go out, he looked back at Shen Yan and Zhu Yun, and looked at them with extremely stern eyes, not allowing them to move.
Then He Wenyuan had already left the study building, and said loudly: "Lord Zhu, please come out, since we want to investigate the case, this study building should be locked up." ”
Shen Yu was still surprised, so Zhu Yun gently patted her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”
Something like this happened suddenly, and everyone in the Shen family panicked when they saw Shen Ping being taken away. Zhu Yun originally wanted to fight for Shen Ping, but seeing him behaving like this, could it be that there was another reason behind this? Looking at Shen Ping's meaning, he didn't let them get involved in this matter, and it might not be useful for him to follow, but it might as well ......
Zhu Yun immediately made a decision, stayed in the Shen family, and after appeasing those servants, he went to the living room with Mrs. Shen and Shen Yu to discuss matters.
When Mrs. Shen first heard the news, she was even more panicked than Shen Yan, when she arrived, Shen Ping had already been taken away, so naturally she was not instructed by Shen Ping, and her eyes were already weeping in her panic.
Zhu Yun appeased his wife, explained the situation in detail at the time, and said: "Since the master does not allow us to act rashly, there must be another reason behind it, we must have a good time to discuss before we can act, otherwise if we add to the chaos, it will be bad." ”
Mrs. Shen's fingertips kept trembling, "That collection of poems is definitely framed by someone, this matter is full of loopholes, but He Wenyuan insisted that it must have been planned a long time ago." But how could they conjure up this book out of thin air? ”
At this time, Shen Yu also gradually settled down, and only then did she say the half sentence that was stopped by Shen Ping with his eyes just now, "That collection of poems should have been picked out from the pile of books, and I speculated that someone had already put it on the bookshelf when they moved the books." ”
"It should be so." Zhu Yun nodded and said, "Otherwise, several people will not be in the same voice." ”
"And how do you prove it?" Mrs. Shen was anxious.
"Don't worry, Master." After all, Zhu Yun is an official, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "It is important to clear the charge for the master, but before that, we still have to think about the hidden reasons behind this matter, so as not to make mistakes and omissions." If He Wenyuan can be framed, then why did he frame Master? ”
Shen Yan's mother and daughter were very concerned, but they didn't think about this layer when they were disappointed, and they suddenly woke up after his reminder.
Yes, He Wenyuan framed Shen Ping, there must be a reason.
A personal grudge with Shen Ping? For the Shen family's book collection? These reasons are not very powerful, after all, Jiang Wenying is there, this time the framing method is clumsy and full of loopholes, how can the case be decided lightly? But if it wasn't for Shen Ping, what would he do?
The three of them were all guessing, and after a little discussion, it was decided that Mrs. Shen would go to Jiang's Mansion to discuss an idea with Jiang Wenying.
Mrs. Shen went to Jiang's Mansion alone, and only returned in a hurry at sunset, but her face was completely tired.
Shen Yu waited at home for a long time, originally with some expectations, but when she saw Mrs. Shen's expression, she couldn't help but be surprised, and stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what did Aunt say over there?" ”
"Tell us to be quiet." Mrs. Shen's voice was quite calm, but she couldn't hide the deep anxiety in her eyes.
Now that Shen Ping has been arrested, Mrs. Shen is in charge of the house, and she probably doesn't want to bother Shen Yan, so she comforted: "According to your aunt's meaning, I originally wanted to ask your uncle to come forward and arrange for someone to investigate the case carefully." Today's affairs are full of suspicions, and if you have the intention to inquire about it, you will have flaws and can clear your name. But your uncle said don't worry for the time being, he has to think about it seriously, and told us not to act rashly. I'm tired today, so I'll go back early and rest, and I'll see it tomorrow morning. ”
"What about Daddy, what about him?" Shen Yan still can't rest assured.
Mrs. Shen sighed, took her hand and walked towards the Linglong Mountain Pavilion, and said: "After he was taken to the yamen, he was guarded alone, although your uncle can't immediately intervene in this case, but he is also a political envoy after all, and your father usually has a lot of people, although he has been detained, the case has not yet been tried, and this crime is not confirmed." No matter what He Wenyuan is, he shouldn't dare to do anything to him, so wait with peace of mind. ”
But how can Shen Yu feel at ease?
Seeing his father being taken away on the charge of "private possession", even if it is a reassuring pill fed by others, what is the use?
Naturally, she couldn't sleep peacefully this night, and Shen Yu tossed and turned for most of the night, until it was about to dawn.
When she woke up, it was still cloudy outside, and Pomegranate found a jacket and came out to put it on her. The wind outside is low, the rain in late autumn is colder and colder, and at this time the whole house is full of cool air, open the window a crack, and the wind will swish in.
In half a month, it will be winter, and the situation should be even more bleak and deserted.
Shen Yu stood under the porch after dinner, and could only see the depression of the autumn scenery in the courtyard, the wind was getting colder and colder, and it was blowing against the ground, looking like it was going to rain again.
