Chapter 138: Separation

The word government is no stranger to the Shen family, but Shen Shijin didn't show any panic when he heard it, but said, "Okay, then grandfather will ask someone from the government to come over again to investigate the reason, and it is good to return my innocence." (Baidu search is updated faster)"

Seeing that his son insisted on being like this, Old Man Shen had doubts about the conversation between Old Man Shen and his son, who should he believe if he was the same two people who he had no doubts.

Soon after reporting to the official, the government sent someone over, and searched almost the entire Shen family, but did not find the things that were burned in the mouth of the old man Shen, and half a month has passed, and everything that can be cleaned up in the warehouse has been cleaned up, and no evidence has been found at that time, and now there is no more discovery.

The official messenger searched for two days, interrogated many people from the Shen family, and also searched in Jinling City, but there was still no news, and in the end, the official messenger gave the same reply as before.

Chu Yiyao had long expected that the result would be like this, from the eldest brother who agreed so firmly to report to the official, he must have been fully prepared, not to mention those people who have arranged in the house, those things that are brought out are probably not in Jinling for a long time, there are so many carriages that come in and out of the gates of Jinling every day, who knows when they are transported out.

As for the word poisoning, it is even more unconvincing, those medicine residues are cleanly disposed of, and now that Old Man Shen's body is gradually recovering, he will only say that the imperial doctor's medical skills are good, and the people in the medical hall are not proficient in medical skills, so they will not talk about killing Old Man Shen.

Shen Shijin has the chance to win all this.

In the front hall of the Shen family, Shen Shijin was injured, and on the table next to Old Man Shen was a list of the remaining things in the warehouse that had not been burned, and the hall was silent.

In addition to the anger of the old man Shen, he couldn't say that he was depressed in his heart, he had raised a white-eyed wolf for more than 20 years, and in the end, he was still calculating the Shen family.

"Daddy."

Second Master Shen shouted at him, Old Man Shen trembled slightly, and grabbed the crutches on the side, "Open the ancestral hall." ”

Everyone looked up at him, and the ancestral hall was opened at this time

Second Master Shen stepped forward to support him, Master Shen went out to send someone to open the ancestral hall, and the group walked to the ancestral hall of the Shen family, Chu Yiyao hugged Le'er, and Mother Qian on the side held Kang'er.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the ancestral hall, the two stewards guarding the ancestral hall opened the door, and what came into view was the ranking of the ancestors of the Shen family in the ancestral hall.

Old Man Shen stood at the door and stopped, stepped in, and the rest of the people stayed in the courtyard without moving.

Chu Yiyao looked at Shen Shixuan, who also had doubts in his eyes, what was his grandfather calling everyone over for today.

Old Man Shen walked to Old Madam Shen's tablet, reached out and touched the handwriting on the engraving, and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Madam, I'm sorry for you." He didn't take good care of this family, and now this family is in chaos, and the brothers are not in harmony, and they are even thinking about seeking their lives.

Old man Shen looked at this group of rankings, the ancestors of the Shen family, he couldn't live with his wife alone, he couldn't live with the Shen family, and he couldn't live with the foundation that his ancestors had worked so hard for.

But if this continues, this family will not be as good as he wishes.

Old Man Shen stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time, and then slowly walked out, looking at the family in the courtyard, Old Man Shen spoke, "In front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Shen family, split the family." ”

It was like a big stone falling into a calm lake, causing huge waves, and Old Man Shen seemed to be saying an ordinary thing, looking at everyone's different reactions, and asked Master Shen to go and bring the account books in the trading house.

"I am not dead yet, and the things in this treasury are also my and the old lady's, and they are not in your two rooms, and the rest of the things, regardless of the elder and younger, are divided equally between the two rooms, and as for the good or bad in the future, it depends on your own creation."

The Yan family was the first to disagree, she stood up and objected, "Dad, this Shen family was handed over to us, how can it be divided equally, Zhennan is the eldest son." ”

Old Man Shen glanced at her, "Who told you that this Shen family will be handed over to Dafang in the future." ”

Yan's face changed, if he didn't hand it over to them, it would be difficult to hand it over to the second room, how could it be possible!

Old Man Shen took in her expression, saw that Master Shen walked back, and said leisurely, "This Shen family, including the Shen family's business house, and the Shen family's business, are all divided equally. ”

Second Master Shen and Shen Shixuan didn't say a word, and the Guan family and Chu Yiyao behind him didn't say anything, Shen Shijin's face was much uglier than Yan's, Old Man Shen's words were pumping his face raw, and the evidence of the treasury was insufficient, but his grandfather just decided that he took those things, and it was useless to defend himself.

Old Man Shen took the account book, and just looked at it roughly, "Zhennan, you hold the pen and ink, I said you remember." ”

The steward brought tables and chairs for Old Man Shen and Second Master Shen, and after Old Man Shen sat down, he looked at the account book and said, "The branch in Huizhou is reserved for the big room, and the one that cooperates with the Shui family is reserved for the second room." After that, Old Man Shen glanced at Shen Shijin, "The silver given to you at the beginning is the same, and the quality of the work depends on your ability, as for the 50,000 taels of silver that Shijin took from the money village and put it into the branch, it will be deducted from somewhere else." ”

"The title deed of the Shen family, the house where Zhenbei lives will be given to you, the Shen family here will be left to Zhennan, as for the title deeds of other places, I will keep forty percent here, and the remaining sixty percent will be divided in half between your two brothers."

"The Shen family's business, the Shen family's business house includes a few merchant ships, the tea house and other properties under the name of the Shen family are counted as a share, Zhennan and Shijin have been in the business bank, this business house will be distributed to you, as for the tea house and restaurant, Shi Xuan has been taking care of it, this will be handed over to the second room, do you have any opinions?"

Old man Shen is almost impossible to find fault with this equal division, because everything on the books shows that the business in the trading house is going well, even higher than the tea house and the restaurant combined, and the most important thing, the imperial tribute is also out of the trading house, so this can only be the second room if you have an opinion.

"Dad, the business of the jewelry shop is so good, how can this be considered an equal share." Yan knows a little about some of his son's branches, and naturally he can see clearly which one is really profitable, since it is now said that he has broken up, there is no reason for him to suffer.

"Do well or badly depending on your ability, the business of the branch in Huizhou is good, this account is written, is it difficult for me to be dazzled." Old Man Shen raised the account book in his hand, this is to see the account division, where is there any unfairness, it is difficult to ask for a table and a chair to divide it like this.

You can't say that the account is used to fool your master, Yan Tie blushed and didn't continue, Old Man Shen looked at Master Shen and wrote, "There is not much cash in the account, it will be used in the business bank in the future, so don't count it, just divide it like this." ”

The Shen family is such a big business, and it was divided by the old man Shen in a few words, Chu Yiyao was stunned, she didn't believe it when she heard her grandfather say half of it, but now that she listens to it, the tea house and the restaurant are counted, how can she think that she still earned it herself.

Shen Shijin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Grandfather has no opinion on Shijin so much, but there is more than this in the money village, compared with the account, it is 200,000 taels less, where is the 200,000 taels of silver." ”

How could such a large amount of money be fooled at will, Shen Shijin found out that it was the silver ticket that Steward Jiang took the small gold seal to the money bank, and this silver ticket must still be there.

Old Man Shen expected him to ask this, "The 200,000 taels of silver, I asked Steward Jiang to go to Luoyang to send it to the palace to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine has taken good care of our Shen family over the years, and the Shen family will still have to rely on her to speak more in front of the emperor in the future, and these silver will be sent to the palace for the imperial concubine." Old Man Shen told in detail the whereabouts of the 200,000 taels of silver, so he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't go into the palace to ask the imperial concubine to verify whether he had really received the 200,000 taels of silver.

"Steward Jiang hasn't been back for more than a year." Shen Shijin didn't find Steward Jiang, and he didn't believe what his grandfather said, almost every two years, he would send it to the palace for some silver taels, how could he need to give so much at once.

"After giving the money, I will let him go back to his adopted daughter to rest for a while, enjoy the joy of family, and he should come back in a few days."

Old Man Shen directly smoothed the matter of Steward Jiang leaving with the golden seal, looked at everyone, and said in a clear voice, "Today, in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Shen family, Shen Zhennan, Shen Zhennan, Shen Zhenbei, the two sons of Shen Kuo, are officially divided, and the family property is divided equally." ”

Overnight, the Shen family was divided into two, and the families in Jinling were also surprised when they got the news, the old man of the Shen family was still alive, why did he split the family in advance, but no one explained to them what the reason was, and the Shen family was busy putting all the things that had been divided into the names of the two rooms.

The Shen family, which was originally one of the four families, decreased sharply after the separation, and it fell out of the four families at once, and it was Shen Shijin's father-in-law's family and Tian family in the past who successfully squeezed out.

With countless fields and shops, coupled with the efforts of a group of sons of Master Tian, although this business cannot catch up with the Cao family and the Bai family, it is enough to squeeze the current Shen family, for this reason, Master Tian is very proud.

For the second master Shen, the suddenness of this family division was also unprepared, and it was originally to investigate the cause of the fire in this warehouse, but no one expected that the old man would mention the matter of the division of the family, and went directly to the ancestral hall to handle the matter of the separation, which was very simple.

Until all the account contracts of the tea house and the restaurant were in hand, Second Master Shen still felt a little in a trance, no wonder he and his wife wondered, they never thought that they would get so much on the day of the separation.

Guan Shi looked at the thick ledger on the table and sighed, "From now on, they will be regarded as the real two families." ”

Second Master Shen patted her on the shoulder and didn't speak

And Shen Shixuan and Chu Yiyao over there, but unexpectedly received a gift from the old man Shen, I don't know when I came back, Jiang Steward sent someone to send a package in to them, no one showed up and went back to Shen's house, Chu Yiyao opened the package and found that there were two brocade boxes inside, one of which was two house deeds, and in the other box, it was actually 200,000 taels of silver that had been missing for a long time.
