Chapter 64: Conspiracy
When darkness fell, the Shen family's mansion was sparsely lit, and in the past three days, it was no longer possible to see the glory of the past. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Shi has fallen ill since the news that Shen Ningxuan was going to be beheaded, she didn't eat, drink or speak, it seemed that her entire soul had been knocked away with the bad news, and her spiritual world had completely collapsed. Shen Congyun entered the room to see her condition, told Yu'er to feed her wife a little bird's nest porridge, then turned around and walked out of the bedroom and went to the study.
When he came out again, he had already changed into an inconspicuous black outfit, and Uncle Shen was waiting outside the door, also dressed in black, and the two of them passed through several courtyards, and then appeared at a side door in the back garden at the same time. There was a well-shielded carriage parked outside the door, Shen Congyun lifted the curtain and got into the car, Uncle Shen raised his whip, and the carriage drove quickly into the night.
About an hour later, the carriage appeared in the courtyard of a private house in the western suburbs, and at this time, there was no one on the carriage. There were two dim oil lamps burning in the room, one of which was on the table, and around the table was a group of people, all eyes fixed on a map spread out on the table. Shen Congyun's voice was cold and low, as calm as when he commanded thousands of troops and horses in the past. Everyone listened seriously, the faint light shone on the dark faces, and everyone's expressions were resolute and resolute, as if they were about to face a battle that would sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths. It's just that this is destined to be a battle that can't be named, even if you die, you have to die so that no one can find out about it.
Shen Congyun finished laying out the rescue plan and thanked everyone: "Everyone abandoned their families and children, and they were willing to take the risk of being punished and came to rescue the dogs, such a great kindness, the Shen family is full of gratitude, please accept my worship!" ”
Shen Congyun said, left the table and bowed, everyone hurriedly drove him, the leader was a short, slender middle-aged man, moved and said: "General Shen must not, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress Hu'anshan, if it weren't for the old General Shen to spare our lives, our bandits have long been gone, and now his grandson is in trouble, how can I sit idly by?!" General Shen, please rest assured, even if we fight for our lives, we will also rescue Ling Gongzi and not affect the Shen family. ”
Shen Congyun clenched his hand vigorously: "Brother Cao, all heroes, thank you for your great kindness, the life of the dog will be delivered to you!" ”
Cao Li smiled heroically: "I waited for the grace of General Shen, and lived for more than 20 years, and I have already earned it, brothers, now, it is our turn to repay the favor!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Rescue Shen Gongzi and repay Shen Gong's great kindness!" ”
Shen Congyun hugged his fists to everyone one by one, this iron cavalry general who was powerful on the battlefield, in the face of such a group of heroes who regarded death as home, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you!" ”
Early the next morning, the servants of the Shen family had just finished cleaning the courtyard, and Shen Congyun asked Uncle Shen to gather everyone in the flower hall. On his left was a wooden box covered with a red cloth, and on his right was a stack of yellowed deed papers.
The servants entered the flower hall and stood in turn, Shen Congyun stood at the top, with his back to everyone, and after Uncle Shen asked him for instructions, he turned around and glanced at the men and women who had worked in the Shen family for many years, among them, there were orphans who were taken in on the streets, there were also children of poor families who were sold into the mansion to be people, and there were also people from the Shen clan who came to the mansion to work for a long time. For many years, the Shen Mansion has been the most willing choice for the poor families in the capital to work, not only because the owner is tolerant and generous, but also because the Shen family has guarded the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations and the tranquility of the people's homes. People admired the heroes of the Shen family, and when Shen Yin was mourning, there was even a touching scene of 10,000 people spontaneously mourning. But who would have expected that such a loyal and righteous family would eventually commit a shocking case, and once it fell like the Ma family back then.
Shen Congyun said to everyone in a deep voice: "Thank you for not giving up, you have worked hard in my Shen family for many years, and you have been trying your best to take care of the affairs of the house, thank you for Shen's grandson!" ”
When the crowd heard him say this, many of them had a premonition of what was about to happen, and some of the slaves even sobbed quietly. Shen Congyun eased down for a while, and continued: "The Shen family has suffered an accident, and now it is an ordinary family, Shen can't delay your livelihood, and those who are willing to leave will go to Uncle Shen, get fifty taels of silver tattoos and your deed of sale, and find another place." ”
Immediately, someone cried out loudly, expressing their reluctance to leave, Shen Congyun said ruthlessly: "The dog committed the crime, the Shen family was affected, and the situation may be worse in the future, it is difficult for you to maintain your livelihood with me, and I don't want to support you anymore, you can go!" ”
After speaking, Uncle Shen was left here to issue the silver taels and the deed of sale, and he had returned to the house. Li was still lying on the bed, his eyes glazed, and when he saw him come in, he didn't move. Shen Congyun sat down beside her, touched his wife's haggard face, Li married into the Shen family at the age of eighteen, sent the two elders to the end, and raised children to grow up, although a little vanity and narrow-mindedness, but from beginning to end, she can be called a qualified housewife. Shen Ningxuan's accident hit her the hardest, and now, he saw her emaciated and haggard, but for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't dare to inform her of his deployment. Li Shi slowly turned his head to look at his husband, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes: "Master, let's Xuan'er......"
Shen Ningxuan put his palm on her hand and sighed heavily.
On the second day, in a corner of the capital, the ordinary farmhouse courtyard suddenly ushered in a beautiful woman, the farmer was overjoyed, fanatically rushed forward, pulled her into the house, and walked out with a small song humming contentedly in the middle of the sound, and guarded the gate of his own courtyard. After a while, several strangers came one after another, and the farmer let them in without looking.
In the room, Ayiduo's face was still a little flushed, and when he saw the visitor, he was not half ashamed, and opened his mouth to ask, "What is the Shen family's move?" ”
Hu Du, Song Kun and others are all the old subordinates of the prince of Kaji, who had entered Beijing as early as when Princess Gina came to make peace, and hibernated, secretly enveloping the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty and spying on the Shen family's every move. This time they successfully tripped Shen Ningxuan, and their actions could be described as a one-hit hit, Princess Gina expressed her appreciation, leaving Ayiduo outside the palace to continue to lead their actions. Seeing the leader's question, Hu Du hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen Shen Congyun go out in the past few days, and I haven't seen any strange people enter his mansion, but he seems to have sent all his subordinates away, saying that it is not the Hou Ye, and there is no need to leave so many subordinates to serve." ”
Ayiduo sighed, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "No, Shen Ningxuan is going to be beheaded tomorrow, he can't be indifferent, at this time, he suddenly disbanded the subordinates in the mansion, could it be that there is action?" ”
Song Kun immediately said, "Isn't that better?" What we fear most is that he doesn't move! ”
