Shen Rui's words not only shocked Shen Hai, but even Shen Li's expression changed greatly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Killing the children of the Shen family in the prefect's prison, whether it is the "suicide of fear of crime" for the Shen family, or the "murder and extermination" of Zhao Xianzhong, they are the most disgusting people. At that time, the lawsuit will be fought from Songjiang to the imperial front, and from the Shen family and Zhao Xianzhong to Xie Li, the two elders. A few lives are inside, and if the two pavilion elders don't protect their own people, the prestige will inevitably be reduced, and it will easily chill the doormen.

The brocade guard who passed the word also knew that time was pressing, so he said goodbye to Shen Li and hurried away.

Shen Hai looked at Shen Li's gaze and pleaded, if the eldest grandson was really trapped in the lair of the rebel king, there would be no life or death. He only has three sons, and the youngest son has died, so he really doesn't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Shen Li didn't wait for Shen Hai to speak, and said: "Uncle, don't be impatient, since the Qincha has descended, I should also come forward." I'll change my clothes and go to see the Chincha. ”

Originally, it was not the same pomp as today, but the pomp was even greater, not only the prefect of a place and the subordinate officials of the prefect's yamen, but also the officials on leave under the government, the officials of Zhishi, the prefect of the county, and the local elders should be among the greetings.

When Zhao Xianzhong got the news, he was worried about welcoming the Qin mission back to the prefect's yamen to stay, and he didn't notify the other people in the place, which was already a simple and rude speech.

Shen Li did not delay and immediately returned to the guest room to change clothes. Shen Hai is an elder in the end, but he is not an official, he has no grade, it is not good to follow like this, but Shen Rui is not in the way, as a small follower, he followed Shen Li to the prefect's yamen.

In the prefect's yamen, Wang Shouren and his entourage were welcomed in. Among them, Wang Shouren, Yang Baihu and a few brocade guards were welcomed into the main hall of the prefect's yamen to entertain guests; Zhang Yong and the others looked like staff and stewards, and they were welcomed to the side hall, and Yan Juren was in charge of entertaining.

This is exactly what Zhang Yong wants, so he sat in the first guest seat and acted as a leader. fell into Yan Juren's eyes, and felt that this old gentleman was in line with his previous guess, and he was Wang Shouren's right-hand man, so he had to make a polite gesture, calling him a brother and a brother, knocking on the side, and wanting to ask how Wang Shouren ordered the Qin Errand at a young age.

This little bit of caution fell into Zhang Yong's eyes, which is really ridiculous.

As soon as Zhang Yong opened his mouth, he said in a Beijing accent, and after knowing Yan Juren's origin, he said directly: "Yangzhou salt merchants are famous all over the world, and I have heard that I have heard that there was a 'virtuous man' in your early years, and he was given the same surname as Brother Yan, I don't know if he is of the same clan as Brother Yan?" ”

Yan Juren was stunned when he heard this, this "virtuous people" was none other than Yan Juren's grandfather. The so-called "relief of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River" is just a decent statement, but in fact, it was flattering the eunuchs during the Chenghua period, collecting toys for Emperor Chenghua, and getting the table. The Yan family was able to make a fortune, and it was precisely because of the bribery of the town guards and eunuchs at that time that they accumulated a huge fortune. Because the reason for this statement is really not a decent thing, the Yan family has not shown it off.

Isn't this Mr. Zhang a member of the staff? Only today from the capital to Songjiang, how can even the affairs of Yangzhou be clear?

Yan Juren's expression stiffened, and he felt a chill in his back, and said, "It's the name of the ancestor." ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "That's really a coincidence, I heard that many people recited Zu Ende back then, good people have good rewards, and the Yan family has now become a prosperous family with descendants." ”

Obviously it was a compliment, but Yan Juren only felt that this "Mr. Zhang" smiled meaningfully, and he was a little flustered. Where could he still sit still, and he got up and left under the pretext of changing his clothes.

Wu Yan stood behind Zhang Yong, and said in a low voice when he saw this: "My lord, why are you praising him, he still looks scared?" ”

Zhang Yong snorted lightly: "It's just a weak heart, but as soon as he thinks he is sour, our family just wants him to be afraid!" ”

Shinong businessman, businessman is not high, Yan Juren has a fame, he doesn't want to change his court and serve the court, but he is a thief, and if he wants to speculate on the new emperor, it also depends on whether he has the courage and qualifications.

At this time, Jin Yiwei, who had gone to the Shen family to deliver the message, also arrived, and said Shen Rui's guess. Zhang Yong's face drooped suddenly, and Wu Yan, who was lively next to him, was also frightened and held his breath.

Zhang Yongyin measured: "The layout of this prefect's yamen is almost the same, and you should be able to find the location of the prison." Go and keep an eye on our family, we want to see how bold this little man has grown! ”

The Qin mission has arrived, and the words that should be warned have been warned, and the other party still wants to do it, that is, to find death.

Half of the dozen or so regular clothes brocade guards were left behind to protect Zhang Yong's safety, and the other half were ordered to go out.

In the tea room not far from the side hall, Yan Juren's face was cloudy. He felt that "Mr. Zhang" had something to warn him, and he felt that he was thinking too much. Yangzhou has many in-laws, and what they have done is exposed, and they are afraid that they will affect their relatives; But I've done so much, do you still have a chance to stop? Now that the former emperor has died, the new emperor in his teens has ascended the throne, and several cabinet elders control the government, and it is difficult for him to want to be a scholar. Accept your fate like this?

Yan Juren was thinking wildly, when he heard a movement at the gate of the courtyard, and looked up, it was Shen Li who came over in an official uniform, and Zhao Xianzhong personally greeted him. Looking at the scarlet robes on the two of them, only jealousy remained in Yan Juren's eyes, and the previous anxiety was gone.

Shen Li was not only born in the Shen family, but also worshipped Xie Ge as a teacher, and then won the champion, who believes that there is no cat in this? Zhao Xianzhong is mediocre in learning, mediocre and greedy for money, but just because there is an old master in the pavilion, every evaluation is outstanding, and he has risen from a small county to the prefect. I am full of talent, but I am stuck on the spring squirt, and I can't even go out, how unfair is God?

Yan Juren sneered, left the tea room, and turned around to go southwest. It was not anywhere else, it was the prefect's yamen prison.

In the main hall of the prefect's yamen, seeing that Shen Li was coming, Wang Shouren did not hold it up, and got up to meet the two.

Because Wang Shouren is poor, even if the grade is lower than Shen Lidi, he still sits on the guest seat. According to the etiquette, Shen Li was a guest, so he sat down under Wang Shouren, and then the guest and host greeted and spoke. However, after meeting Wang Shouren, Shen Li did not mean to sit down, but said with a straight face: "Lord Qincha, Shen Li, a bachelor of the Xiaguan Hanlin Academy, told Zhao Xianzhong, the prefect of Songjiang, to overstep his authority and detain two sons and one prisoner of the Shen family for no reason. ”

Wang Shouren frowned slightly, now that he has not yet reached the step of investigating the case, Shen Li will solemnly bring up this matter, could it be that there is any change? He looked at Shen Rui, who was standing behind Shen Rui, and saw that Shen Rui, who had always been steady, also had an anxious look on his face, knowing that the Shen family was worried about changes in the prefect's yamen.

Zhao Xianzhong was shocked and said in a loud voice: "Bachelor Shen has to show favoritism, what innocent detention?" Someone took the lead and sued the Shen family, Shen Jun, Shen Qi, and Shen Ling, and the three of them for 'communicating with the Japanese', causing trouble in the place, and the government acted according to the law! ”

Shen Li turned to Zhao Xianzhong and said, "Do it according to the law?" Can you inform the academic and political yamen, how many people have been stripped of their reputations? Or is there that Da Ming law that mentions that the local yamen can detain people at will? Someone is the first? Where is the leader? ”

Zhao Xianzhong was dumbfounded, avoided the important for a while, and said: "That person fell into the water and died last month, who knows if he was 'killed', after all, the Shen family is powerful in Songjiang." ”

Wang Shouren thought that Zhao Xianzhong's detention of the children of the Shen family was too stupid, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid that he didn't even ventilate the academic and political yamen, so he threw several famous people into prison and detained them for two months with insufficient evidence.

"Governor Zhao, about Shen Jun and Shen Qi and their 'communication', in addition to the first person, are there other witnesses and physical evidence?" Wang Shouren said.

Zhao Xianzhong's heart trembled, and he still insisted on it: "There are suspects Shen Qi and Shen Ling who personally draw testimony as evidence!" ”

Shen Li's face turned cold, not because he suspected that his clan brother was really "Tongyu", but because he knew the darkness in the yamen, under Miki, what kind of testimony could not be obtained? It is also common to forcibly press the arm to draw the detention, and there are testimonies that only show that the torture is added, and these people have suffered no less.

Shen Li, a Hanlin official, knows all this, not to mention that Wang Shouren was promoted to the former head of the Criminal Department of Langzhong of the Military Department, and he once sent Anhui to decide to be imprisoned, so he knows the key to this, and he also understands why the Shen family is so worried. Zhao Xianzhong even made a "false confession", and it was not impossible to force him to be ruthless and directly let the sons of the Shen family "commit suicide in fear of crime".

"Since the testimony is already available, then the Qin Cha will first try the case of the Shen family's sons today!" Wang Shouren holds the holy decree in his hand, and he is right.

Zhao Xianzhong's face was pale, and his body was already unstable.

In the prefect's yamen prison, the cell leader held a small wine jug in his hand and hummed a small song in his mouth. Although this errand is fat, but every time I watch here day and night, the days are really boring, the young jailer can't sit still, and always finds an excuse to go out for a walk, only he, the old man, has been here for most of his life, and he doesn't find it difficult.

There was a knock at the door, and the cell head looked through the railing, and he didn't open the door in a hurry, and when he saw the other party's face, he hurriedly said, "Young Master He, why are you here?" ”

The two people outside the door, led by Zhao Xianzhong's nephew Zhao He, followed Zhao Xianzhong to run errands, and the prefect's yamen was familiar with each other. Zhao He said: "It's not that Qin Cha has arrived, my second uncle is afraid of leaks, let me come and see the two of the Shen family, clean up well, and save a little bit of indecent ...... to see Qin Cha."

The cell boss was thrilled when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Young Master He, everyone is like this, what if the Shen family doesn't follow?" ”

The cell leader is a native of Songjiang, so he naturally knows what kind of behemoth the Shen family is. No matter what others do, he is a small cell leader, but he doesn't dare to "fall into the ground" for the Shen family, and he secretly takes care of one or two on weekdays. Rao is like this, whenever he sees the tragic situation of the Shen brothers, he also shudders, afraid of being held accountable by the Shen family and angry.

Zhao Xianzhong's parents are still young, and Zhao He is used to being arrogant as a member of the government, so he said disapplausively: "Isn't that sectarian son-in-law okay?" Hmph, they all say that the Shen family is amazing, a bunch of sesame petty officials, and there is not a single Jingtang, but it is just to scare and scare the common people in the local area......" As for the Shen family for more than ten years, there have been two champions, and they have been left behind by Zhao He, a scumbag.

The children of the Shen family were imprisoned on death row in the depths of the prison, and the cell head wanted to lead the way, Zhao He grabbed the keychain from his waist and said, "Don't be troublesome, stay here!" Then he went inside with his entourage.

The cell boss sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Zhao He's back and gritted his teeth. The prefect is not a local, if he offends the Shen family, he can leave after his term of office expires, but he is from Songjiang, if all the sons of the Shen family have an accident in the prison, isn't this going to kill him?

The cell boss was worried when he heard a movement at the door, and saw two jailers enter, followed by several tall men.

The big men and the cell boss met each other, afraid that he would shout, and were about to subdue him. The cell boss not only did not resist, but his face was anxious, and he said in a low voice: "The two young masters of the Shen family are dangerous, everyone come with me......"
