Chapter 500: Ulterior Motives (5)

It is said that "if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark", but because Zhang Yong was disgusted with Zhao Xianzhong, the snobbish prefect, and listened to the dialogue between his ancestors and grandchildren at this moment, he had a better impression of the Shen family's "good heirloom". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info plus although he has not seen Shen Rui, he has seen Shen Li, Shen Jin, and Shen Ying. Compared with those old ministers in the court who "rely on the old and sell the old" who only think about competing for power and profit with the celebrant and the emperor, the brothers of the Shen family are a little less official, a little more elegant, and more amiable and respectable.

Waiting for the two ancestors and grandchildren to leave, Zhang Yong couldn't help but say to Wang Shouren: "Who is this Sun Gongren?" Which Lord Shen was the first to be merciful, and he actually got the four orders? ”

The wife is honored by her husband, the mother is valued by her son, and the woman in the house is given a decree before her death and after her death, and most of them are asked by her husband or son. The most prominent room of the Shen family is in the capital, although he has two champions at the head of the house, but because of his young age, he is still boiling his qualifications, and the clansmen at the head of the other houses are also famous, but they are not of high grade. Perhaps because of Sun's deceasement, and because of the haste in which the materials in Beijing were prepared, Sun's was not mentioned.

Wang Shouren said: "Sun Gongren was not awarded the title because of his husband, but because he built bridges and roads, and he did many good deeds, and the then Songjiang prefect Jiang asked the court for the title. ”

"How so? No wonder the descendants of the Shen family are flourishing, and there are such virtuous women! Zhang Yong praised. said this, but he didn't think so in his heart, needless to say, this is a resentful woman who is not favored by her husband, otherwise as a woman, she will only focus on her husband and children, where will she worry about building bridges and roads, and other people are fed and clothed? Most of them have a rich dowry, seek a good name, and save the husband's family from "spoiling concubines and destroying wives".

Wang Shouren said: "This Sun Gongren is none other than Shen Rui's biological mother, the mother of Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan." ”

Because Shen Li and Shen Jin brothers have won the champion, in order to distinguish the two, Jingzhong called Shen Li the big Shen champion and Shen Jin called the little Shen champion.

When Zhang Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, this concubine came out of the concubine, and the heir was the heir, and he immediately made up a big drama in his brain. Thinking about Shen Rui's age when he entered Beijing, most of the time he lost the protection of his biological mother, so as a son-in-law, he was forced to give up his stepfamily as his heir.

In the year of Sun's death, Wang Shouren happened to be in Songjiang and had seen the scene of Sun's funeral. The Sun family is indeed a good person, but the end of the situation is embarrassing, it is rare that Shen Rui is not crooked, he is still lenient and kind, and his conduct and his mother are also in the same line, and his expression is also a little sighing.

In Zhang Yong's eyes, Shen Rui seems to have become a "little pitiful", his mother lost his father and abandoned him, he was born in his teens, he is a half-grown child, where can he get close to his parents? No wonder the emperor was afraid that people would bully Shen Rui, it turned out that this Songjiang was still his sad place.

The two of them sighed, and saw another table of guests eating tea at the seat next to them.

Compared with the simple ancestors and grandchildren, these three people wore silk clothes, and the leader was wearing a green silk robe, his eyes were too flexible, and he had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his face was not good. And then there's his clothes, which are a little fat, as if they're wearing other people's clothes. The other two had dark faces, looked much thicker, and wore blue silk clothes, but they didn't match much.

Seeing that Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren were both wearing Confucian clothes, the man in Tsing Yi looked at it twice, asked Dr. Cha to order tea, asked for two plates of refreshments, and began to talk about the disaster of "Japanese Kou Coming ashore" more than two months ago.

"That's a miserable, my shop was robbed, not to mention, the shop was also burned, and the shopkeeper and the guy didn't run away, they all became coke!" The man in Tsing Yi said with a sad face.

The man on the left answered: "The shop has been robbed, and a lot of silver has been lost, right?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded hurriedly and said: "Brother Zhang said to the point, isn't it, I am a cloth village, I just received half a boat of cloth into the warehouse, there is nothing left, and the loss is hundreds of taels." Hmph, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, no matter how powerful the Shen family is, if you don't pay me money, I will fight the Shen family to the end in a lawsuit! Phew! On weekdays, he pretends to be a good person, but he is really black-hearted. Hey, I just don't know if I can get it back. Everyone thinks that their family is the richest man in Songjiang, but in fact, the inside has long been empty. ”

The man on his right hand said: "No, there are still many fields outside the Shen family's city." ”

Tsing Yi said: "Brother Li, outsiders are looking at the scenery of the Shen family, but there are many places where the Shen family spends money. The Shen family reads, and the children of other people's families also study, why is the Shen family so popular? Don't talk about bullying and dominating the market on weekdays, you shouldn't ignore your neighbors and lead the Japanese to loot and trap the people of this city. Anyway, I'm not looking for others, I'm looking for the Shen family, the culprit! ”

This Tsing Yi man had such a loud voice, which naturally attracted the sideways attention of the tea guests in the lobby, and many people believed this statement, with a bit of righteous indignation on their faces. Zhang Yong saw it in his eyes, sneered in his heart, and accidentally saw Dr. Cha's expression.

Dr. Cha was in his fifties, and he obviously disagreed with this statement, frowning slightly, only shaking his head slightly, but did not say anything.

Although Zhang Yong entered the palace at a young age, the court is the most tempering people, and he has also sent foreign errands, so he has naturally exercised his good ability to debate people.

Seeing that the three of them finished a long story, the cow drank two cups of tea, chewed a few plates of refreshments, and left. Zhang Yong also got up, left a piece of broken silver, and motioned for Wang Shouren to follow.

Both of them saw that there was something wrong with these three people, the man in Tsing Yi was not like a businessman, but more like a scoundrel in the market; The other two attendants, one of them said one line, and they were still stiff, as if they had been behind their backs before.

Although I don't know who instigated it, these people obviously deliberately spread the gossip of the Shen family and instigated public opinion in the market.

The two of them were separated from each other, and they saw that the three of them saw another tea house with a lively business, and the story repeated itself, which verified the previous speculation.

The two of them are Qincha, and they travel in micro-clothes around them, but there are also Jinyi guards who are disguised to follow the surrounding guards. Zhang Yong called the familiar Xiaoqi among them and told him to keep an eye on these three people, especially the man in Tsing Yi, to see where this person would eventually return.

Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren went to the inn where they stayed.

The two of them were out for most of the day, briefly freshened up, asked for a table of noodles, and hurriedly used it.

After the banquet was withdrawn and the tea was served, Zhang Yong asked someone to see if the little flag he was watching had come back, and said to Wang Shouren: "It can't really be instructed by Zhao Xianzhong, right?" Saying this, I already have eighty percent of it in my heart.

According to the previous information, the Shen family is also a "behemoth" in Songjiang, where would ordinary people take the initiative to confront the Shen family? It's different to be Zhao Xianzhong, he is the prefect, and there is such a big mess under his rule, if he can't find a scapegoat, let alone Wusha, it's hard to protect, and his life is also in danger.

Because Wang Shouren knew more about the pattern of Songjiang and knew about the open and secret battles between the Shen and He families over the years, there was one more object of suspicion for the He family. It's just that Zhao Xianzhong can go on such a fold, and detaining the Shen family without any evidence is not innocent.

"Governor Zhao has a motive, but he is so traceable, and he is too careless to act, but it may not be the instigation of Governor Zhao." Wang Shouren said.

Zhang Yong snorted lightly: "It's just a weak heart, otherwise why bother to draw snakes!" ”

As he spoke, the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, who was in charge of stalking, came back and replied: "That person went to two teahouses again, and they all left after speaking, and then went to the first house in the back street of the prefect's yamen." Ask the people nearby, the family's surname is Wang, the head of the household is a traveling merchant, died at the beginning of the year, leaving a little widow, and now there are only the little widow and the little widow's wife, and two people, a family of four. However, this little widow is good-looking, and she has won the favor of Yan Juren, a confidant of the prefect, and Yan Juren stayed at Wang's house last night. The man in Tsing Yi is not the owner of Buzhuang, but a gangster in Nancheng, who often comes to the little widow's house, and says that he is the little widow's cousin. ”

Zhang Yong instructed the little flag to go and continue to lead people to keep an eye on the Wang family's house.

Xiaoqi was ordered to go down, and Zhang Yong said with a little pride: "Tsk! What are we talking about? What is the prefect's staff's outer house, but it's just a cover. There is no one else, it is Zhao Xianzhong's house! If he is honest and doesn't do anything, it's really not good for our family to check him at will, but look at his appearance, it's also ugly, he is all cautious, and he is fooled when others are fools! ”

Wang Shouren nodded and listened, but there were some doubts in his heart. Along the way, in addition to studying the law of the Japanese invaders going ashore, he was also studying Zhao Xianzhong.

Although he has not dealt with Zhao Xianzhong, looking at his resume, he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, otherwise there are people in the court, and he will not get the fat shortage of Songjiang Prefect, but he is unlucky. No matter how he bites the Shen family and wants to shirk his responsibility, he is not only a parent in a place, but also wants to protect himself in the case of hundreds of casualties. Even if you are in the game, you care about it, and you can't make such a shoddy layout, is it that Yan Juren makes his own opinion?

It is true that someone made his own opinion, but it was not Yan Juren, but Zhang.

The Zhang family has a lot of connections with the Shen family, and the Shen family is somewhat because of the Shen family, and he hates the Shen family, and knows that Shen Li, the champion of the Shen family, returned to Songjiang, for fear that the Shen family would "escape", so he thought of this out.

As for this man in Tsing Yi, it was the Zhang family who was instructed by Yan Juren a few months ago to spend money to help him. Because Yan Juren was hidden behind the scenes, it was the Zhang family who came forward to sprinkle silver to envelop the idle, so these idlers naturally listened to Zhang's orders.

Zhang's young and beautiful, these idle people can't covet one or two, but they also know that this is Yan Juren's forbidden belly, and there is a prefect's yamen as a backer behind him, not a gang of his own can get involved, but it is just a passing addiction, and he glanced at Zhang's bulging chest several times.

Zhang didn't think it was angry, but was amused by the appearance of these idle cats, and told the gang of idle people: "You continue to stare at the Shen family, regardless of any movement over there, come over and say ......" said here and here, with a smile on his face, but his voice was a little cold: "Especially the news of the fourth room of the Shen family, pay special attention, and you can't let go of the ...... at all."

The gang who received a reward of ten taels of silver went in a hurry, and muttered in their hearts: "Didn't this lady be brought back from other places by Wang Shanglang?" How can it be like the enemy of the Shen family. The most poisonous woman's heart, it seems that offending no one can offend a woman...... Looking at her age, she is only eighteen or nine years old, but she is the same age as the four-room champion of the Shen family, doesn't she have a marriage contract with Shen Zhuangyuan? But what kind of family is the Shen family, even if she looks better, she is not worthy. ”

The helper thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw it behind his head and continued to stare at the Shen family.
