In the hall, the second wife Yong heard Shen Zhou's vow to protect Shen Ling's wife and children, no matter how angry and resentful she was, she knew that the general trend had gone, and this windfall would definitely not fall into her pocket, so she refused to admit that she had instructed Wang Zhenye to harm the He family. □ Tomato□○△ □ ''-.x-f-q'x's--.-c'om

She cursed Wang Zhenye for framing her again, and cried about how she brought up Shen Ling since she was a child.

Long before the second wife Yong had no sister-in-law, Shen Ling was raised as a sister-in-law under her name, and it was not bad to say that Shen Ling was brought up by her, and the ten years were not fake, but the later jealousy and dislike were not true.

Where can Wang Zhenye recognize, he opened his mouth and said how the second wife Yong instructed him, how to tell him that there were few people in the house, and said that the house where the second entry was very small, where was the road and where was the door.

Everyone thought that the second wife of Yong had gone to He's side to ask for the account post in vain, and there was nothing they didn't understand.

Shen Zhou sneered and only asked Shen Yong how to explain the matter.

Shen Yong's heart was already cold, if Shen Yong didn't have the slightest idea about the two or three hundred thousand family property, he couldn't deceive himself. He also wanted the silver, but he never thought that his wife could do this and bully his eldest son and daughter-in-law like this.

knew that his wife couldn't tolerate this eldest son, but the person was gone, and that thorn was still rooted in her heart, and she couldn't pull it out.

But in the end, the eldest son is gone, and this grandson can't come back, who else can Shen Yong protect? Of course, it is to keep his wife.

If the wife misbehaves, the sister-in-law Brother Qiong will also be poked in the back. For the sake of Brother Qiong, Shen Yong has to make his wife okay no matter what.

Therefore, Shen Yong withstood the huge pressure brought to him by Shen Zhou, and only bit to death that Wang Zhenye framed him. Zhenzhen also said that Wang Zhenye's father and son ran his shop and were unable to repay it, so they came up with this plan to frame him.

The ninth room master is old, and he is lazy to sit here and listen to them chatter here, and he coughs and says, "Brother Ling'er is not out of the clan?" Brother Ling's daughter-in-law is not a member of the clan. Regardless of whether it was the person instructed by Shen Yong's daughter-in-law, or the person who went alone, they were all trespassing on private houses, and they should not be discussed in the Shen family ancestral hall, and they should be handed over to the yamen! ”

Shen Qi and Shen Liu were also impatient to see the people in the third room acting here, and they echoed it one after another.

Shen Qi couldn't come to see the third room, so he said coldly: "Say this here, I don't know what to say when you go to the Yamen, everyone else is a fool." ”

Mrs. Yong's second wife was afraid of being handed over to the government, so she could only cry in the ancestral hall, who would listen to you cry when she went to the yamen, and shouted at the moment: "What kind of official!" Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, isn't this fine? This ugliness can't be publicized, you ......"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Zhenye shouted: "If you send me to the yamen, I will call the second wife of Sanfangyong to give me the silver on the yamen, let me rape your Shen family's daughters, and make your Shen family lose face!" ”

This trick was ineffective against Shen Rui, but it was very effective against the second wife of Yong.

Mrs. Yong was about to faint, how could she not find out that her nephew was such a thing, and cursed loudly.

The Shen family was also enraged, and they scolded again and again for a while.

Shen Zhou said loudly: "'Da Ming Law', 'Whoever enters someone's house at night without reason, will be given eighty rods', 'Rapeer, hanging'." If you seek death yourself, cry out with a loud voice. The Shen family is not afraid of being splashed with sewage by a villain like you. ”

Wang Zhenye doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, where does he know the law, when he heard Shen Zhouyi, he was also startled, and he didn't dare to shout, but wailed: "It's really my aunt's mastermind, I was arrested without doing anything, or you beat me up in the court to get angry, don't send me to the court." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly confessed: "My aunt said, I will send her the child first." Let me knock on the door of the west corner, the doorkeeper is Lao Liutou, and the second door is the answer of Wang Liang's family. Wang Liang and his wife are my aunt's companions, you can go and arrest Mrs. Wang and ask. My aunt told me to do it......"

Shen Qi asked Second Mrs. Yong coldly: "Until now, doesn't Second Aunt Yong still recognize it?" But you have to send someone to mention these two subordinates to ask? ”

Mrs. Yong's second wife also instructed Wang Liang's family in the morning to wait for Wang Zhenye to send the child to the door and place it properly, knowing that it could not be denied, so she covered her face with her sleeves, whimpered and cried, and shouted: "I miss my grandson, I only asked Wang Zhenye to bring my grandson back with me, and I never asked him to be a sideliner." ”

The clansmen are not stupid, who believes her set of words.

Shen Qi said coldly: "What Aunt Yong said about it, how can you tell it, don't you, as a woman, know that asking a man to climb the wall of the widow's courtyard in the middle of the night will damage people's reputation?!" Where is this to hold the child, this is to force Ling's second sister-in-law to death. ”

Mrs. Yong's second wife didn't dare to angrily reprimand Shen Qi for interjecting nonsense as a junior, crying to herself, and she didn't know if there were tears on her face covered by her sleeves.

Shen Qi looked at it coldly for a moment, and then Fang opened his mouth to speak: "Shen Ling's family is no longer a member of the Shen clan, and the second wife Yong instructed her mother's nephew to trespass into the house in the middle of the night, intending to kidnap other people's heirs, violating the law of the country and the family rules!" In the Da Ming Law, instigating others to commit the law is the same crime as complicity. ”

Shen Yong and the second wife of Yong looked up at Shen Qi in unison, their eyes showing fear.

Shen Yong opened his mouth and said, "Brother Qi'er......" But he couldn't say anything, just a pleading look on his face.

The second Mrs. Yong said directly: "Brother Qi! I'm your aunt! You also said that Shen Ling's family has nothing to do with the Shen family, how can you bear to send your aunt to prison for an outsider! ”

Shen Qi Zhengse said: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and since my aunt is the wife of the Shen family, she should abide by the national laws and family rules." You're not wrong! If you are not punished today, the clansmen will do the same in the future, going to your three-room courtyard in the middle of the night, stealing things and robbing people, and insulting the innocence of your daughters, what do you say? ! If it is not punished, one or two more daring and reckless people, everyone in the clan is in danger, but there is still Ning Ri? ”

Mrs. Yong's second wife pestered nonsense: "How dare others turn over the courtyard of the third room......"

But it was Shen Yong who suddenly shouted: "Shut up! Don't admit it wrong! ”

Shen Yong has always been afraid of guilt and soft in his ears, and the second wife of Yong is a strong and short-tempered woman, and the second wife of Yong has always been in charge of the family. Shen Yong had almost never been so angry as he was now, and the second wife of Yong was suppressed for a while, and she was already unsure in her heart, so she obediently shut her mouth.

Shen Yong took a deep breath and said, "It's because I don't govern my family strictly and don't restrain my insiders. It's just that this matter really spread, and in the end it has tarnished the name of my Shen clan for a hundred years. In particular, this lawsuit has just been concluded, and the Shen family has just been divided, and it is the time for discussion in Songjiang Mansion. He paused and said with difficulty: "I will be cheeky and beg the clan to punish and not report to the official ......."

Seeing that the people of the tribe did not take over, Shen Yong gritted his teeth and said: "This woman has bad intentions, I should have ...... should have ...... "gritted his teeth and got angry again, after decades of husband and wife, he couldn't say anything about divorce, and calculating his daughter-in-law was not calculating the heirs of the Shen family, this crime was a minor crime, and it couldn't be said to divorce his wife."

Shen Yong's hesitation, glanced at Shen Jin, who was sitting there without saying a word from beginning to end, remembering that Shen Yuan locked the temple yesterday, and then thought about it, Zhang Lao'an tossed the five-month-old child in the womb of Shen Yuan's wife Sun back then, and was also sent to the family temple, and later he was also taken out to be an old feudal monarch.

Shen Yong then changed his words and said: "I also hope that all the clansmen will look at Brother Qiong'er's face, and let his mother go to the family temple to chant and pray for the blessings of the clansmen." ”

In the family rules, there are few punishments for female dependents, and sending them to the family temple is quite heavy.

The clansmen knew in their hearts, so they didn't speak, but only went to see the patriarch Shen Qi.

Shen Qi thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Fortunately, although there are evil deeds, there are no evil consequences, and this punishment is appropriate." He also said solemnly: "Spread the word to the East Chamber, please restrain the women of each sect to restrain the daughters of their own clans, take this as a lesson, and don't do it again!" As the saying goes, if someone defends the law again, the clan will not tolerate it, and the clan will punish it and send it to the official! ”

The deacon's children passed the word to the East Chamber, and all the women in the East Chambers were vigilant and promised.

As if she hadn't come back to her senses, the second wife of Yong looked at Shen Yong blankly, and suddenly said, "Brother Qiong'er is still young, so you will send me to the family temple...... In the end, do you still have to support that sin and practice Brother Qiong'er? ”

The elders of the clan are a little dissatisfied, half of the people sitting in this hall are the concubines, even the three rooms, this is harsh.

An old man said: "They are all descendants of the Shen family, who dares to practice?" I saw you practice Brother Ling'er! ”

Another humane: "Brother Qiong is still young? It's fifteen! Second child, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law for Brother Qiong, lest there is no decent housewife in your room to preside over the feed. ”

Shen Yong was afraid that she would say something again and ruin the result that she had won so hard, so he hurriedly shouted: "You are confused!" What do you say! As he spoke, he approached the second Mrs. Yong, and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Qiong'er is fifteen years old, and he will discuss marriage soon, can he still lock up your mother for the rest of his life, and he will come out when the time comes, let's talk about it first." ”

The second wife Yong was originally resentful, but she only felt that Shen Yong was biased, and after hearing this, she ironed in her heart, and the Guan Jia Temple, which had scared her before, was not afraid, so she nodded and said: "It's my fault, I admit the punishment, accept the punishment!" ”

Shen Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and went to see Wang Zhenye again, although he wanted to send him to prison for 10,000 people, but he was really afraid that he would talk nonsense in the yamen, so he begged Shen Qi: "Is this person also punished in the clan?" Da Ming Law, breaking into a house at night is a rod of eighty, so the rod is here to scold him. ”

Shen Qi did not allow it, "The ancestral hall of the Shen family can punish the Shen clan, but it has no right to punish outsiders, and the second uncle Yong cares about it, and forgets it for a while, if it really beats Wang Zhenye, the Wang family will go to the yamen to sue us for lynching, and it will also be a lawsuit." ”

Wang Zhenye kept pricking up his ears and listening, originally heard that he was going to beat him with eighty rods at the Shen family, but he wanted to shout that eighty was too much, and he wanted to kill people. But after thinking about it, the Shen family didn't dare to kill or maim him, so they didn't say anything.

After hearing Shen Qi say that the Shen family would still send it to the yamen if they didn't fight, he panicked again and went to the yamen, the Shen family was rich and powerful, if the silver was stuffed, the government would be able to peel off his skin.

Wang Zhenye hurriedly shouted: "Don't tell me, don't tell!" The Wang family will definitely not sue the Shen family! Please, hit me right here! ”

The Shen family hated him, but when they saw him so ugly, they couldn't help but be amused.

Shen Qi laughed twice and mocked: "It's still a pole to beg for a beating." ”

Shen Quan had already wanted to beat Wang Zhenye, so he said: "Then promise him, and I will take charge of the board." ”

Shen Qi glared at his younger brother and said in a low voice, "Third brother, don't mess around." ”

Shen Quan shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

Shen Qi said to Wang Zhenye: "It's useless to say anything, the Shen family has no right to punish you." He turned his head to look at Shen Lian, the fourth master of the third room who was at the end of the court, and said, "Fourth Uncle Lian, I bother you to go on a trip and hand over this person and a few of his accomplices to the yamen." It is said that they broke into the private house with the intention of stealing, but before they succeeded, they were arrested by their subordinates and handed over to the government. ”

He specially bit the words "trespassing on people's houses and intending to steal". Shen Lian understood and nodded in response.

Wang Zhenye shouted like a pig, "Auntie, save me", "Auntie, you asked me to do it, you can't ignore me". But the deacon's children used to gag him tightly and dragged him down.

Second Mrs. Yong didn't pit her nephew's consciousness at all, but spat at her nephew and scolded: "If you hadn't affected me, how could I have been sent to the family temple!" In the future, your father, your second uncle, both of you will give me, get out of my shop! ”

Shen Lian also followed out of the council hall, he knew that others were afraid of avoiding suspicion, and he would not be talked about how he acted as a person from the third room, so he would give him this errand. This is also the first "errand" since he was promoted to the head of the clan, although it has nothing to do with the management of the sacrificial field, but it helps to get closer to the patriarch, and he naturally has to do it.

As soon as he left the conference hall, Shen Quan slipped out, put another confession into his hand, and said, "Fourth uncle, look what Wang Zhenye's beast has done!" ”

It was Wang Zhenye who bought Liang Ping's confession.

Shen Lian's face was ugly and abnormal, and he patted Shen Quan's shoulder and said, "Fourth Uncle knows." Feel relieved. ”

Shen Quan knew that Shen Lian was a transparent person, and he would definitely say hello to the yamen, and Wang Zhenye would not be cheap, so he thanked him and went back to whisper to Shen Zhou, Shen Rui and others.

The second wife of Yong was detained here, and the clan association was dispersed. Shen Zhou, Shen Li, Shen Rui and the three sons did not leave, but went directly to the ear room to see Mrs. Hongda and the He family, and discussed the matter of sending Shen Ling and settling the He family's mother and son.

The various plans discussed yesterday Guo Shi have already talked to He Shi, and He Shi has also made up his mind in his heart, and he has previously told Guo Shi that he is going to go to Beijing, and Guo Shi is not very surprised.

At this time, everyone came over, and He didn't twist, and said bluntly: "I went back to Jinling to have a thought for Xianggong, since there was a misunderstanding here, the second uncle did not abandon us, and Xianggong Quanquan was relieved to know." So there is no need to help the soul to be buried in Jinling, my mother and son are also inconvenient in Jinling, and they can't help the second uncle, but it adds a burden, I just thought, go to Beijing with the second uncle Rui, and ask for a blessing from the second uncle. ”

Shen Zhou knew that there were no female dependents in his house, which was inconvenient, and it was also an excellent choice for He's mother and son to go to Beijing, but when he thought that he couldn't see Brother Xiao Nan, he still felt a little sad for many years.

Shen Rui heard that the He family was going to Beijing, so he said: "It's all my own family, and Ling's second sister-in-law is polite." Ling's second sister-in-law went to Beijing, and it was too late for my mother to be happy. He paused and asked, "It's just that Second Brother Ling wants to send it locally, and this blessed land ......."

He said: "It's been a long time, I want to ...... On an auspicious day, the bones of Xianggong were burned, and the ashes were brought to Beijing to be buried in Beijing, which was also convenient for me to worship Brother Xiao Nan. I don't know, this is going north with ashes, but what taboo is there not to ......"

Shen Zhou was surprised: "What are you...... If you are not in the blessed land of the Shen family, you can also find another place in Songjiang, why do you want to burn it...... "The concept of the time is the most particular about "leaving a whole corpse", if it is not a last resort, it is generally not a choice of cremation.

However, when the third master of the second room left Songjiang, he also took his mother and eldest brother with the two ash jars, and the cemetery of the second room had already been moved to the capital. Although Shen Zhou mentioned it, he couldn't say anything more in the end.

He only said in a low voice: "Xianggong also doesn't want to stay in Songjiang." ”

Shen Zhou became more and more speechless.

Shen Li saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he said: "It's not inconvenient to go to Beijing with the ashes, let's rent a boat and explain to the boatman, don't collide." He added: "The Yan family's side may not be able to close the case for a while, so Brother Ying and Second Brother Qi will have to keep an eye on it." ”

This is to say that half of Yan Baowen's family property was confiscated, half of it was confiscated, and half of it was compensated for the three sons of the Shen family, and a large part of it was given to Brother Xiao Nan and let the He family take it away.

Shen Ying said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, the lawsuit here is over, and I will send someone to send the silver ticket to Beijing." ”

He Shi hurriedly got up and thanked Shen Li and Shen Ying, and both of them turned sideways to avoid it.

The matter was finalized, and Guo still wanted to take He back to the fifth room, but He said that he would go back to the house to clean up, and he would also find Shen Ling's clothes and cremate them together.

Guo Shi is not good at keeping her anymore. Wufang and Shen Li, Shen Rui sent more guards to the courtyard over there to protect the safety of their mother and son.

After everyone dispersed, Shen Li wanted to take Shen Rui to visit Wang Shouren to ask about the return date, so he came out first.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, Shen Jin caught up behind him.

Seeing that Shen Rui was surprised, Shen Jin explained: "I just went to visit the master. ”

The matter involves Bensheng's father, and Shen Rui also has to ask, "Is the master okay?" ”

Shen Jin said: "Yesterday, the old man was punished with a cane, and he had a high fever, and he used Imperial Doctor Zhang's medicine to retreat. When I went to see it just now, I was already in good shape and in good spirits. Second brother, don't read it. ”

Shen Rui smiled and didn't answer.

Shen Jinyin asked: "Can the sixth clan brother and the second brother decide when they will return to Beijing?" ”

Shen Li shook his head and said, "Not yet, but soon." ”

While a few people were talking, a small guy hurriedly came over there, and when they arrived at Shen Jin, they didn't care about saluting, so they said: "Uncle, go back with the little one, Uncle Zhang's uncle came to the door, and the old people fainted angrily." ”

Shen Jin was taken aback, "Uncle Zhang?!" How did they get here? He almost forgot about the Zhang family, as if he hadn't seen the Zhang family for many years, where did this family come from?

The little guy ran out of breath, panting and said: "What did Uncle Zhang's uncle say that he asked Shen Jiaqiang to take away his grange, and he wanted to discuss an explanation with Lao Anren, and he told Lao An about the master, so Lao An fainted." My wife asked someone to ask for a doctor, and she asked me to come to find my uncle. ”

Shen Jin heard that one head and two were big, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried home with the little girl.

Shen Li stopped Shen Jin and said, "Uncle Zhang's grandfather is an elder, how can you talk well as a grandchild?" It's better to carry Master Yuan away, so that Lao Anren can feel at ease when he looks at his son, and then come back, Master Yuan told them that it is better than you. ”

Although he hated the fourth room, he also sympathized with Shen Jin's difficulty, and didn't want Shen Jin to be accused of disobeying his elders, so he gave advice and instructed: "It doesn't matter what is on the side, Lao Anren's body is the most important!" ”

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Lao'an was so angry that he would be killed, Shen Jin, the champion, would have to worry about it as soon as he embarked on his official career, and he would be delayed when he regained at that time.

Shen Jin also knew this, and responded: "I will put Lao An's body first." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The master's current injury should not be tossed." ”

Shen Rui asked, "Do you know what's going on with the Grange that Uncle Zhang's uncle said?" ”

Shen Jin shook his head and said: "The grange shops to be paid yesterday were all finalized by the master, and I don't know how to have the Zhang family's grange." ”

Shen Rui said: "Isn't this enough, since you don't know about the grange, how can you talk to your uncle?" What is the character of the Zhang family, don't you know yet, big brother? Don't be deceived by them. Let's hurry up and carry Master Yuan, only he can explain this matter. ”

Shen Jin no longer hesitated, Shen Yuan's injuries were not serious, so he said goodbye to Shen Li and Shen Rui, went back to the ancestral hall to greet the patriarch Shen Qi, and took the deacon's children to the small courtyard where Shen Yuan was locked, and told Shen Yuan that the Zhang family was coming to make trouble and wanted to carry him back.

As soon as Shen Yuan heard about the Zhang family, he immediately said that the wound on his buttocks hurt badly and he resolutely couldn't go home.

Shen Jin saw that there was something else that he couldn't guess, it must be what Shen Yuan had done to the Zhang family, and he only said, "I don't know what to do with the old man's son", waved his hand, and the deacon's children didn't say a word, put Shen Yuan on the bench, lifted it up and left.

No matter how much Shen Yuan shouted, it was useless, so he was carried back to the fourth room.
