Chapter 479: Brothers Together (5)

Shen Quan hung his head and said dejectedly: "There are the stewards who should be used by the second brother's side, but no one dares to make trouble, but he didn't ask anything useful." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is to know that a few days before the Japanese invaders entered the city, the second sister-in-law took the two children to Hangzhou to give Jiang Zhifu a birthday, originally the second brother was going to go together, I don't know why it was delayed, let the wife and children take the first step, and set a boat for thirty, that is, the day after the Japanese invaded the city, the result was not on the boat, and was detained by the government, the crime is 'Tong Wa', the evidence is a handwritten letter from the second brother, according to the above book, the second sister-in-law and the child were kidnapped, the other party and the second brother put forward conditions, the second brother replied to the letter and promised everything, only asking for the safety of his wife and children. It didn't say anything clearly, but it became physical evidence, plus there were witnesses at the city gate, and I saw the figure of the suspected second brother in front of the thieves, so this person was also considered to be there. ”

Shen Qi's wife Jiang is the niece and adopted daughter of the former Songjiang Jiang prefect, Jiang Zhifu's term expired last year, and he was transferred to the prefect of Hangzhou, and now the family is in Hangzhou, and this year is the fiftieth birthday, only the second grandmother of Qi took the children over to congratulate the birthday, but did not want to fall into the hands of bandits, and now life and death are unknown.

Since Shen Qi was detained, no one has been allowed to visit, and the second room steward has been sent in like silver, but he can't even see a face, and he doesn't know what this kidnapping is all about. The ransom letter sent by the kidnappers was only read by Shen Qi himself, and there was no one to testify against him. Therefore, if it is investigated, the three children of the Shen family who are suspected of being involved in the Shen family are the most substantiated and difficult to get rid of here.

There was a lot of news he heard in the past half a day, Shen Li only felt that his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know for a while that he should wonder which side of the thousands of households around Songjiang wanted money and dared to pretend to be a widow to rob the place, or should he think about such a layout and calculate who the Shen family was, but Shen Rui paid more attention to Shen Qi because of the Guo family and Shen Quan, and couldn't help but speculate on the enemy with the greatest malice, and said anxiously: "Sixth brother, let's go to the mansion as soon as possible, since the second brother Qi is 'conclusive evidence of crime', then the rest should be 'suicide in fear of crime'!" ”

A month and a half have passed since the incident, and there has been no public trial of the matter, but the blind detention and refusal of family members to visit it really cannot withstand scrutiny. Even if Zhao Xianzhong is the prefect and the parents of a place, the prefect's yamen is not only an official of the prefect, and the Shen family is the head snake who has been entrenched in Songjiang for a hundred years, but this relationship between the top and bottom cannot be exchanged for the Shen family's visit to the three of them, there is only one reason, that is, the prefect issued a death order. The case has not been tried, the charges have not been determined, where has it come to this point?

Wanting here, Shen Rui only felt that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but be glad that Shen Hong was seasick, otherwise there was really a chance that Shen Hong and his wife would be able to stand it.

Shen Quan's eyes widened in fright, and he looked at Shen Rui's eyes that darkened for a while.

Shen Li's face was gloomy, thinking of the danger of Shen Qi's situation, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the mansion, and I have to be an uninvited guest." ”

Shen Quan still couldn't slow down, as long as he thought of that possibility, he felt out of breath. But he didn't dare to delay at all, regardless of his footsteps, he pulled Shen Rui's arm, and his face was urging.

The government office is on the front street of Shenjiafang, and it is only a quarter of an hour's walk, so the three of them walked as a car, and did not call a car, but walked to the government in a hurry.

When I arrived at the entrance of the government office, I saw that the notice wall in front of the government office was also smoky and burning, and the wall at the gate was also mottled, but the others looked as usual.

Only Shen Rui glanced at it, Shen Li didn't bring a post, and directly ordered the chief to come forward and pass the word. Shen Li was promoted to the left concubine of the James Mansion the year before last, and he was also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, although he was only the fifth grade, not as good as the prefect's fourth grade, but he was an old man in the East Palace, and a close minister of the Son of Heaven. The concierge of the official office is the most clever, even if he knows that his master has been hiding from the Shen family recently, he does not dare to leave a bachelor master from a top background at the gate, so he has to respectfully ask for peace, and he personally went back inside.

As expected by the porter, although Zhao Xianzhong was preparing to tear his face with the Shen family, he was not arrogant enough not to put Shen Li in his eyes. Not to mention the son-in-law of the elder of the pavilion, it is the identity of the champion, which also makes Zhao Xianzhong, who is also from the imperial examination, jealous and respectful.

Therefore, after listening to the porter's reply, Zhao Xianzhong couldn't help but step out of the door and wanted to go out to greet him, but after taking two steps, he hesitated and told the little servant to invite Master Yan.

The little servant answered, and the porter didn't dare to urge, and waited beside him.

Zhao Xianzhong touched the top of his hair, which was getting thinner and thinner due to the loss of hair these days, and sighed.

One time later, a thirty-year-old green-shirted scribe shook a fan and followed the little servant.

Zhao Xianzhong saw the person who came, and asked anxiously: "Yumu, Shen Li is here, what should I do?" When to see or not to see? ”

The green-shirted scribe shook his fan and said unexpectedly: "Until now, do you want to repeat something?" ”

Zhao Xianzhong said: "I am loyal and gracious, but Shen Li is not an ordinary member of the Shen clan, I heard that the Xie family is the most loved by Xie Ge, and Xie Ge Lao regards Shen Li as a parent." ”

The green-shirted scribe accepted the fan and said, "If Shen Li sees the adult and asks Shen Qi about how many of them, how will the adult answer?" ”

Zhao Xianzhong was a little decadent: "It's really not good, so you can only tell the truth." The excerpt has arrived in the capital, and the angel will descend soon, and no matter how long it will be hidden, it will not be able to hide it for many days. ”

The green-shirted scribe said, "Since your lord thinks so, then go and see it." ”

Zhao Xianzhong is not a happy person, seeing that the staff has no intention of hindering him, he has the intention of retreating, waving his hand and saying: "Forget it, you can delay it for a day and delay it for a day, the Shen family is powerful, if something is spread, it will cause a riot in the Shen family." It's better to wait for the angel to fall, even if the Shen family has any objections, they will have more scruples. ”

Although the green-shirted scribe had contempt in his eyes, he flattered in his mouth: "It's still the adults who think about it thoroughly, the angels are coming, and they are always safe." After this turmoil, the local people could not withstand the rest, and Songjiang still wanted to comfort him. ”

Since Zhao Xianzhong made up his mind not to show up, he ordered the porter to go out to deal with it.

When the concierge came out and saw the Shen brothers, he had to be careful, and said: "It's all villains, I forgot that the adults went to Xuanmiaoguan to pray for blessings this morning, and they are not in the palace." ”

Shen Quan's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't help but want to speak, but was stopped by Shen Li's look.

It was an uninvited guest who came without telling him, the host was gone, and Shen Li had no reason to break in, so he got up and took Shen Rui and Shen Quan away.

When he got out of the mansion, Shen Quan prayed: "Brother of the Six Clans, what should I do?" I'm afraid that if it drags on like this, my second brother will ......" Shen Quan couldn't say the rest of the words, for fear that it would become a curse as soon as he said it.

Shen Li understood that the more this time, the more they should calm down, otherwise if there was something wrong with them, then the Shen family would really be in a desperate situation.

"Go back to the sect room first!" Shen Li saw that this was not the place to speak, and said.

Shen Quan's expression was struggling, and Shen Rui comforted: "Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much." However, even if you want to find out the news, you should start with the sect. ”

Shen Li left his hometown at a young age, even if he returned to his hometown a few years ago to keep filial piety, he was more or less closed, and his connections in Songjiang were limited. Zongfang is the head snake of the snakes, and the first choice for Zongfang is to find out the news. It is difficult to get people from the government prison, you can ask a thing or two, as long as the money is delivered, it should not be difficult, even if Zhao Xianzhong is hiding something, the official office is an official office, and it is not a monolith.

Sure enough, when he returned to the sect room and asked about the news in prison in front of Shen Hai, Shen Hai was not completely ignorant.

"I couldn't rest assured, I asked someone to inquire secretly, and I finally got two sentences half a month ago, Jun'er is okay, his uncle personally came forward to say Xiang in front of the prefect, and he didn't suffer any crime; Shen Ling was guilty of a lot of crimes, and no family member came forward to deal with it, and she was sentenced twice, but in the end, she didn't admit her guilt indiscriminately. Shen Haidao.

He didn't tell Shen Li the details before, and Shen Hai was also a little selfish, afraid that Shen Li would relax when he knew that everything was safe inside.

"What about Shen Qi's news?" Shen Li asked.

Shen Hai glanced at Shen Quan and said with a complicated expression: "Shen Qi didn't press Jun'er and them together, so there was no news. Speaking of this, he paused and said: "My world friend who is on an errand in the government suggests to me that Shen Qi's crime is conclusive, don't waste your efforts in vain, if you really want to catch people, you can still rely on Jun'er and Shen Ling." ”

As the patriarch, he should have sheltered all the clansmen, but Shen Hai knew that his ability was limited, and he was naturally powerless for the charges that the yamen had already confirmed.

Shen Quan's eyes were red, and he knelt down in front of Shen Hai with a "poof", and presented a stack of Zhuang tickets and said: "This is 10,000 taels of silver, begging Uncle Hai to help his nephew ask for an accurate word in front of the elder of the world, whether my second brother is alive or dead, after the matter is completed, the nephew has another 10,000 filial piety!" ”

Shen Hai was originally worried when he saw Shen Quan kneeling, afraid that he would open his mouth and beg him to rescue Shen Qi, but he was thinking about how to refuse, so he listened to the words behind him and said busily: "Hurry up, what is life or death, even if your second brother is suspected of being a colleague, the case has neither been tried nor convicted, so he is naturally safe and secure in detention and prison!" ”

In the end, he is old and taboo about life and death, Shen Hai looked at Shen Quan with a little condemnation, feeling that he was not calm and steady enough when encountering things, and his words were too careless.

Shen Quan couldn't afford it, but kowtowed one by one, and his forehead was bruised and bloodshot within two clicks.

Seeing that Shen Quan was so stubborn, Shen Hai didn't like it in his heart, and looked at Shen Li, hoping that he would speak out and solve the siege. But Shen Li was as immobile as a mountain, even Shen Rui, who was closest to the fifth room, just looked at Shen Quan with a worried face, and did not have the slightest intention of getting up to help others.

Rao is like this, and Shen Hai is not willing to do this. Even if there is a relationship with the government there, it is used once less than once, and there is a son who has not been fished out, and Shen Hai is unwilling to take care of it again.

Seeing that Shen Hai was about to shirk, Shen Li said with a straight face: "Even if the third brother doesn't trust the uncle, I will also trust the uncle." Now I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that Zhao Xianzhong, in order to shirk responsibility, deliberately framed and deliberately turned this matter into an iron case. At that time, not to mention that Shen Qi's life is not guaranteed, even Shen Jun and Shen Ling may not be able to get away with the crime. ”

Shen Hai hesitated: "This can't be, right?" There are witnesses and physical evidence on Shen Qi's side, but Jun'er and Shen Ling are between the two of them, but they are just suspects. ”

As he spoke, Shen Hai looked at Shen Li and couldn't help but be suspicious.
