Chapter 48: Corrupt Officials

Shen Yueran laughed dryly twice, and said coquettishly, "I didn't forget everything." Since www.biquge.info was struck by lightning five years ago, I feel that my brain hurts when I use my brain, and sometimes I feel vague when I recall the past. The Shen family made such a big fuss back then, Yue'er was afraid that she would remember the wrong details and say the wrong thing. ”

Shen Rihui nodded and said with concern, "No wonder you have been staying in the room for the past few years, it turns out that the old injury has not healed, and you didn't tell your brother earlier." ”

He looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice, "I wasn't big back then, and my father didn't want to mention more, and I didn't know the details." It's just that I heard the housekeeper of the Shen family say that when there was a flood in Jiangbei, my father, who was the secretary of water conservancy, was greedy for a water conservancy disaster relief fund, and the amount was not small. ”

Embezzlement?

Shen Yueran was stunned.

Shen Minggong is a corrupt official?

How can it be?

How can he be a corrupt official?

But Shen Rihui can't wronged his father for being a corrupt official!

"What about the silver?" Shen Yueran blurted out.

If Shen Minggong was a big corrupt official, why did he only bring a mere two hundred taels of silver and move to Wenchi? After paying a fine of one hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels was given to Wu Zhaorong, and he climbed to the head of Wenchi City because of poverty!

She couldn't figure out how a corrupt official's evening scene could be so bleak.

Shen Rihui squinted at her.

Realizing that she had made a mistake, Shen Yueran hurriedly defended, "What does Yue'er mean is that how much did Daddy be greedy back then to cause the family to move to Wenchi?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Rihui said, "Daddy's things back then, everything he said. Some said that someone framed him, some said that he was to blame, and some said that his father was taking the blame for others. When the new emperor of the young ancestor ascended the throne, he asked for a thorough investigation of the disaster relief funds in the past three years, and found out to his father, who admitted to the corruption, but refused to say where the embezzled silver was hidden. The young ancestor was furious and ordered to be beheaded, and later, for some reason, he withdrew the emperor's order. The Shen family is safe, but they can't stay in the capital. At that time, my mother had already passed away, and my father took my brother and sister and Zhaorong to Wenchi overnight, and they lived for eight years. ”

"If that's the case, will it cause right and wrong again if we return to Beijing now?" Shen Yueran couldn't help but worry. As soon as Shen Minggong died, the whereabouts of the silver were even more inexplicable, anyway, the Shen family did not fall. The question is, who believes.

Shen Rihui shook his head and sighed, "That's why I hesitated to go to Beijing at the beginning." However, my father's last wish came first, so I had to do it. In fact, I always wondered, my father was so secretive about the past before his death, and he didn't say a word, why did he suddenly remember that the fallen leaves had returned to his roots? Is it really back to the light and missing the days in the capital? Oh, it's coming, it's coming, hurry up and let Daddy settle down, let's go back to Wenchi early. It's going to be cold right away, and it's hard to walk on the road. Okay, let's not talk about it, I finally came to the capital, Wenchi doesn't have such a good story, listen to books, listen to books. ”

As he spoke, Shen Rihui once again concentrated on listening to the storyteller's story of the detective.

Shen Yueran thought to herself.

It turns out that the Shen family still has such a past.

Whether she believes it or not, Shen Minggong is a corrupt official, Shen Rihui is a disciple of a declining official, Wu Zhaorongyi's command is due to poverty and grievances, and the unclear disaster relief funds are all there.

crossed over, and for the first time she faced the life of "Shen Yueran"-

At this time, the storyteller had already finished a paragraph, and the audience burst into applause.

"Hey, sir, where can I see the true face of the detective?" A listener asked.

The storyteller said, "Where there is a murder, there is him." ”

"The detective is so fierce, there must be a group of wives and concubines, and children in the shade." One listener joked, and everyone snickered.

The storyteller said, "Neither nor not, strange people usually have quirks." Take this 'Seven Broken' detective as an example, there is a humane Longyang Jun, and there is also a humane practice that has gone wild, in short, somehow, he is still unmarried. ”

The man smiled, "The detective shouldn't be focusing on the detective, so there's no energy in the room." ”

Everyone laughed, and Shen Rihui leaned back and fell in laughter.

Shen Yueran saw that the more she talked, the more unspeakable she became, she got up to say goodbye to Shen Rihui and went back to her room to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Zhaorong returned to the inn alone, and Dao Shenzhong was left at the Wu family by his grandfather and grandmother. Back at the inn, she closed the door and whispered to Shen Rihui. About half an hour later, I went to call Shen Yueran.

When Shen Yueran saw Wu Zhaorong, she lost her mind for a moment.

I don't know if Shen Rihui told her about the past of the Wu family and Wu Zhaorong, which made her feel guilty about Wu Zhaorong like the Shen family's father and son, or Shen Minggong's death made her start to look at her five years of self-abandonment, in short, when Wu Zhaorong appeared in front of her, she actually felt for the first time that Wu Zhaorong was actually a good sister-in-law.

is affectionate and righteous to her brother, considerate to her father, careful care for Shen Chong, and benevolent to her quirky sister-in-law.

The so-called relationship is born from the heart, at this moment, Wu Zhaorong in her eyes is unprecedentedly related to the word "charm".

Wu Zhaorong has always liked bright colors, and pink, begonia, pomegranate red, and duck yellow are her favorites.

In the past, I saw her dressed brightly, but I only felt superficial and vulgar, but when I saw her today, I felt that she had a round body and a clear complexion, which had a unique charm.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Zhaorong noticed her gaze and glared in displeasure.

Shen Yueran took the initiative to take Wu Zhaorong's arm and said coquettishly, "My brother is really fortunate to marry his sister-in-law." ”

Wu Zhaorong's eyes widened, and he pushed away her hands, "If you have something to say in one breath, don't say good things in front, hide bad words in the back, it's annoying!" ”

Shen Yueran smiled.

Her aunt and sister-in-law have been fighting with each other for five years, and Wu Zhaorong's reaction is reasonable.

broke someone's heart, she has to slowly warm up-

Shen Yueran grabbed Wu Zhaorong's arm again and said with a smile, "This time there are only good words, no bad words." By the way, what is the matter with my sister-in-law calling Yue'er? ”

Wu Zhaorong looked at her suspiciously again before pulling her into the room and closing the door.

******

"In short, don't talk nonsense, don't move randomly, everything depends on your sister-in-law's eyes."

After Wu Zhaorong finished speaking, Shen Rihui hurriedly added.

Shen Yueran pursed her lips and smiled.

Wu Zhaorong stayed in the Wu family for two days, and must have told Wu Dingru and his wife everything about the Shen family. Wu Dingru and his wife remembered their old relationship and planned to hold a banquet in the welcome building to entertain the Shen family brothers and sisters. Wu Zhaorong was afraid that the Shen family brothers and sisters would not understand etiquette and embarrass her, so he explained in advance.

Shen Yueran nodded, "Sister-in-law told Yue'er to keep it in mind." It's just that I don't know what my uncle and aunt like, so I got up early tomorrow and bought it, honored the two elders, and talked about my heart. ”

Wu Zhaorong cast a suspicious gaze again.
