The sixth room was already thin, but now that he has injured his only son and lost his daughter-in-law, he has to anger the seemingly intact long house; As for the master of the ninth room, he has always relied on selling the old, and he has to mix up three points unreasonably, biting the long house, not necessarily because he really thinks that the long house is "compatible", but he is just looking for a reason to make up for it. As for www.biquge.info the seventh room and the eighth room, the old lady of the eighth room has always understood people, and taught his children and grandchildren well before his death.

As for the fifth room, Shen Qi was imprisoned, and Qi's second grandmother, Jiang Shi, disappeared with the children, and there was no owner. Shen Li came here and instructed Shen Quandao: "You go back first, settle down at home, and ask the next person to see if you can find clues. Either way, there has to be a definite message. Later, I will go to the eighth room, and you will come with me to worship the old lady. ”

Although Shen Quan was anxious, he also knew the severity, got up and answered, and asked, "Is the sixth clan brother going back to the ninth room, or is he here?" ”

Shen Li glanced at Shen Hai, and Shen Hai was a little sneering. Shen Qi's wife and children are missing, and there is no one to use in the five rooms, Shen Hai, the patriarch, should come forward to look for someone, but he is worried about his grandson and his son, where can he take care of anything else?

Shen Li had no affection for the clansmen, if it was any other time, he would have to take Shen Rui back to his house directly to settle down, but now it is the Shen family's need to work together, and Shen Li didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he said to Shen Hai: "Come back in a hurry, I didn't order anyone to clean the house, so I can't bother here in the sect house for a few days!" ”

Shen Hai's spirit was shocked, and he said: "What bother, don't bother, Liulang is too outside, the house has already been cleaned up, you brothers go and freshen up first!" ”

In addition to being clan nephews, these two people in front of them are also the support of the Shen family, this time the Shen family is in big trouble, and Shen Hai is still counting on their relationship, so they are naturally regarded as guests.

Shen Quan went home to tidy up the housework and interrogate his subordinates, and Shen Rui followed Shen Li into the guest room. All the way to the dust, you have to freshen up. He had already received the news and ordered the kitchen to purchase a table and deliver it in person. As for Jun's second grandmother, she was pregnant in August, but on the day the official came to detain her husband, she had fetal gas and gave birth to a baby girl early, and she is now in confinement. As for the baby girl, she didn't live for seven or eight and died the next day. Therefore, to say that the clan did not hurt its muscles and bones due to the Japanese rebellion, it is not complete, mainly because the impact was huge after the Japanese rebellion.

He Shi was a little cold to Shen Rui, but his gaze at Shen Li was full of expectation.

In the end, it is the elders, and the two brothers are polite. He didn't lose his temper like her husband, but when Shen Jun was mentioned, her eyes were still red, and she was looking forward to Shen Li's promise.

Shen Li still didn't figure out the reason, where would he put down his guarantee in front of the He family, and only asked about the movement of the He family.

The He family's tears finally couldn't be stopped, and they rolled down: "Since the Shen family has suffered heavy losses, how can the He family be completely undamaged?" If it weren't for the fact that there were many guards in the old mansion, it would be difficult to be spared, but the shops in Nancheng were also robbed; The branch clan relatives on the side of the back street, there are also several families that have been robbed, several masters and servants have been broken, and there are two nieces who will be killed, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead. Even if you get it back, this life is over. Our master was confused, knowing that the He family was also suffering, and it was the time when the two families should work together, but they became suspicious. ”

He is not only the daughter of the He family, but also the cousin of the second master of the He family, so he naturally believes in his mother's family. Shen Li didn't say anything more, only said that he would do his best.

Seeing that the food was going to be cold, He Shi was also interested and found a way to go back to the room.

The day was hot, tired and upset, and the two brothers had no appetite, but they moved two mouthfuls and put down their chopsticks.

Shen Li didn't rush to ask someone to send a post to the prefect's yamen, changed into plain clothes, and waited for Shen Quan to come back, and took the two brothers to the eighth room.

The old lady of the eighth room is the highest elder in the clan, and now the family members are mourning after death, and they should have stopped the spirit of "Qiqi", but the old lady spoke about the funeral before his death, and because it was hot in the summer, the body was not easy to preserve, and the eighth room was not rich, even if he wanted to bury him, he had no intention of doing anything, and he only stopped for seven days before the funeral. However, because of the heat and filial piety, the eighth room is still vegetarian, knowing that Shen Li and a few people are coming, Shen Liu, Shen Bao's father and son greeted them with heavy filial piety, followed by Shen Qin from the seventh room. In his early years, the seventh room master was in the capital as a supplementary school official, and now he is in office and is not at home.

Compared with the ancestral house of the sect without any damage, the courtyards of the eight and seven rooms are much more embarrassed, and the thin wall between the two rooms has also fallen down and has not been repaired.

Shen Bao was originally chubby, but now his cheeks were also suffocated, and his eyes became hollow and lost his aura, facing a few brothers of the clan. It was Shen Qin who explained in a low voice beside her: "Auntie is sick, in addition to mourning, Brother Bao is still serving in front of my aunt's bed these days, and she is really tired and ruthless, so she will be rude." ”

Where is the time to be thoughtful and inconsiderate? Shen Li first took Shen Rui and Shen Quan to worship in front of the old lady's spiritual seat, put incense, and then returned to the living room with Shen Liu. As for the sick wife of Shen Liu, several of them are only nephews, and they don't have any female dependents, so they can't be disturbed, so they can only greet them verbally.

Until the guest and host sat down, Shen Liu looked at Shen Li and stopped talking, but when his eyes swept over Shen Quan and Shen Rui, he hesitated, looked at Shen Bao and said: "You brothers haven't seen each other for several years, and they are also blind dates, go down and talk, don't be restrained." ”

It seems that he has some private words to say to Shen Li, Shen Bao got up and answered, and wanted to call a few brothers to go out.

Shen Li's heart moved, and said, "But what did the old lady explain before his death?" ”

Shen Liu opened his mouth and closed it again, still looking at Shen Rui and Shen Quan.

Shen Li said: "Although Brother Rui is not very old, he is the head of the family after the second room, and he is the most stable; It's the whole brother, who has a careful temperament, who helps his parents take care of the family business, and now he is the principal of Wufang in Songjiang, and he is not the one who can't keep his words. ”

There is a sentence that Shen Li did not say clearly, at this time, where is the time to hide from the West? It is difficult to make a forest alone, no matter what the inside story is, it should be said clearly. Now in this matter, the crime is in the long house, the third room, and the fifth room, and the brothers of these three houses need to get rid of the crime; Hatred is in the remaining rooms, these rooms need revenge, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the second room that has already moved to the capital, but Shen Rui still listened to the Xu family's orders, so he rushed back thousands of miles, in order to do his best to help the clansmen. I can't take the initiative to come back to help, and I'm buried in the dark.

Shen Liu was ashamed and said: "I was confused, I only thought that Brother Rui was still young, and I was worried that Brother Quan was impulsive, so I swallowed it." Not only the two nephews should know about this, but I don't dare to hide it from Brother Qin, Brother Bao, and their brothers. Sit down all of you, brothers, after all, this is not a family-by-family matter, and it doesn't matter to the safety of the entire clan, so it's better to make plans as soon as possible. ”

Shen Bao and Shen Qin both had a little foggy on their faces, and Shen Quan thought about the word "impulsive", and became more and more worried about his brother who was in prison. Shen Rui couldn't help but think of the wise old man in the eighth room, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, compared with the chaos of the sect room, although the eighth room is a heavy blow, it is still orderly. If this old man left behind, even if it is not a wise saying, it should be able to guide the maze.

Shen Liu was still a little careful, got up and walked to the door of the living room, and saw that there was no one outside, so he turned around and whispered: "The old lady didn't dare to tell others, but only told me, the old lady said that although the people who came shouted a few words of Japanese language, but their voices were blunt, not like Japanese people, these people are not tall, but they don't act like Japanese people, they seem to be messy, but they are forbidden through orders, and they are not like folk bandits." ”

Shen Bao and Shen Qin were still confused, and they didn't know why they wanted to hide this sentence, but Shen Li and a few people who knew the laws of this dynasty changed their faces.

If the Japanese invaders make a rebellion, they don't know where they came ashore, and it is difficult to hold them accountable, and in the end, it will be over; If the people of the country make a rebellion, kill officers and soldiers, and plunder the people, they are against the imperial court, and the crime is "rebellion" among the heinous crimes, but it is a big crime to connect the nine clans and "not forgive in case of pardon". The Shen family is involved in such a disaster, even if they don't die, they have to shed their skin.

Shen Liu saw that his nephew was ignorant, and he was afraid that the two of them would not know the seriousness, so he told the matter and told the two of them a lot, and the two little brothers were terrified and couldn't sit still. Before the Japanese invaded the city, the two experienced the death of their families, and they already felt that it was a major event when the sky fell, but they didn't expect that there would be more fatal things later.

Shen Li didn't expect it to be such a critical event, but he didn't regret letting Shen Rui and Shen Quan listen, the more this time. Since it is a major crime involving the nine clans, it is natural that it should not be concealed, otherwise if the crime is really convicted and implicated, wouldn't it be wronged? As for whether the old lady would make a mistake, Shen Li didn't think about it. The old lady is about to be ninety years old, and she is old age, even after two or three times of chaos, if she doesn't really feel that something is wrong, how can she deliberately leave a message.

"But what else did you say?" Shen Li said.

Shen Liu nodded and said, "I also said that there is no inner ghost that can't attract external thieves." At that time, I still asked, but in the past two years, the old lady has mostly been bedridden, and rarely sees the children of the clan, and I can't guess which one it is. Now there is a lot of buzz outside, and it is all about saying that Shen Jun is not good in the sect, but I think that even if there is really an inner ghost, it should not be in the sect. If you talk about attaching importance to family inheritance, it is still a few houses. Although Shen Jun's temperament is slightly flawed, he has also done his best to deal with clan affairs over the years, and he is not such a crazy person. ”

It is precisely for this reason that no one in the seventh and eighth rooms is hostile to the sect. However, because the current patriarch Shen Hai was more respected than the late patriarch, and the seventh and eighth rooms couldn't trust Shen Hai, Shen Liu concealed the old lady's words and didn't speak until the capital came back.

Shen Li looked around at everyone and said, "If it's fatal, let's stop here first, and then tell the other heads when we find out something." ”

Shen Liu also means this, and the others are all younger brothers, so naturally there is no objection.

Because he still had to go to the ninth room to visit the injured grandfather, Shen Li took Shen Rui and Shen Quan out to say goodbye. Shen Li said to Shen Quan: "How is the family, are the people in chaos?" What can be asked? ”
