Plundering places is a clear rebellion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, the emperor was young and had only ascended the throne, and he may not have been able to deal with the Duke of Wei. The Xu family has guarded Jinling for a hundred years, and it cannot be said that Jinling is almost as solid as gold, and through generations of marriage, it is also inextricably linked with Jinling. Moreover, the Xu family is a family of two dukes, and there is also a Dingguo Mansion in the capital, which is the descendant of Xu Zengshou, the youngest son of the King of Zhongshan, and can be corresponding.

"It's not the Duke of Wei's Mansion, it should be King Ning." Shen Rui saw that Shen Li was at odds, and said busily.

As the maiden family of Queen Chengzu, the Duke of Wei has the blood of the Xu family in the descendants of the current Chengzu lineage, plus the merits of the ancestor King of Zhongshan, so he was favored and was the first of the people, and was ordered to guard Jinling. Because of this, the Duke of Wei was also a key monitoring object of the imperial court. The Duke of Wei does have the right to transfer troops, but if you want to raise private soldiers, you are looking for death.

"King Ning?" Shen Li was very surprised: "Ning Fan is thousands of miles away, and the wind and horses and cows are not related, how could Rui Ge'er think of King Ning?" ”

"At this year's New Year's Day court meeting, can the vassal kings who are ordered to take turns to meet King Ning?" Shen Rui asked rhetorically.

Although Shen Li is in the Hanlin Academy, he is not ignorant of the world, and he also sees the dynamics of the imperial court a lot. He nodded and said: "Last year, King Ning of Dongyue did go on a pilgrimage, corresponded with the Shouning Hou brothers, and even entered the porcelain painting to the East Palace. ”

Nanchang, the territory of the Ning Domain, porcelain painting is a local specialty of Nanchang.

Shen Rui said: "According to Shen Zhu's age, he is more to King Ning, and the time is also right. ”

Shen Li was still a little surprised: "Just by virtue of this, Rui Ge'er thought of King Ning?" ”

Shen Rui said: "The waiter next to that person has a white face and no beard, a slender skeleton, a voice like a daughter, and a ruler of conduct. ”

Shen Li's expression turned heavy, he was a Hanlin attendant, he often went in and out of the palace, and he was used to seeing eunuchs in the palace. According to Shen Rui's description, the waiter was indeed similar to the eunuch in the palace.

"It's not a sea boat, it's a river boat." Shen Li also thought of this.

According to the last words of the eighth master, it was not the real Japanese who went ashore to loot, but the Ming people pretending to be them. Previously, Shen Li focused on the islands near Songjiang, suspecting that it was the Ming Dynasty's sea bandits or river bandits who came ashore.

Nowadays, when it comes to the vassal kings of a land, it is not just a sea bandit or a river bandit.

"Taihu Lake!" Shen Rui said: "You can send people to investigate along the river, and more than a dozen will come down, not a small movement." ”

Taihu Lake is more than 200 miles away from Songjiang River and more than 400 miles away from Nanchang Mansion.

Before, he was just at a loss, and Shen Li couldn't deduce the intentions of the people behind the scenes against the Shen family. Now that King Ning is proposed, coupled with the agreement between Emperor Chengzu and King Ning Xian to "divide the river and rule", it is not surprising that King Ning's family has always had a heart of separation.

"King Ning wants more than just money." Shen Li pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Tomorrow I want to see He Xisheng, since King Ning looks down on Songjiang, it is not just a matter of the Shen family. ”

There are also the children of the Shen family in the government and the opposition and the people in Jiangnan Shilin, after all, rebellion not only needs soldiers, but also accompanying civil and military generals.

Shen Ling asked for the guilt because of the Fujian merchants who bought cloth and led the Japanese ashore; Shen Qi questioned the guilt because the disappearance of his wife and children overlapped with the time when the Japanese invaders came ashore, and he was suspected of internal response; Shen Jun complained about his nephew because he was drunk, and his nephew Shen Dong disappeared for no reason, and the sect was preserved for no reason.

This is heavy and heavy, and it is the human heart that is calculated.

Shen Rui's heart moved, according to the history known to later generations, King Ning's anti-heart has always been unknown, and it was not known to the world until Zhengde officially pulled up the anti-flag for more than ten years. Now that there is the looting of Songjiang, will it change history? What happens to the history that has changed?

Shen Rui was curious, with apprehension and expectation.

In the inner courtyard of the sect room, Shen Hai was eating tea, looking at the haggard He family, and he was a little more impatient.

He was still verbose: "Master, is the second child really okay?" That's the prison, not somewhere else, the second child has been locked up for a long time. He has a reputation for his merits, if Shen Li is tougher, Zhao Xianzhong will not have a reason to hold on to people. ”

Such a reverberation, since Shen Li and Shen Rui arrived in Songjiang, the He family has said it privately a few times.

"Tough? How tough? With the He family in the back, Zhao Xianzhong has more confidence, but now he is just detaining, and when the Qin is sent down, the next thing is to convict and behead. Collusion with the Japanese and troubles the place, even if you don't copy the nine clans, you can't be spared within three generations. Shen Hai put down the teacup heavily and said coldly.

In the past two months, Shen Hai has also seen the hot and cold world, and what he hates most is not Zhao Xianzhong, who wants the Shen family to be a substitute for the dead ghost, but the in-laws He family who took the opportunity to fall into the well.

Even if the second master of the He family pretended to run to the yamen of the second prefect's mansion, saying that he had left the relationship and took care of the nephew inside, it was just his mouth talking, if he took it seriously, he would be a fool.

The reason why Zhao Xianzhong was able to ignore the Shen family's clansmen in Beijing and go all the way to the dark was because he had another agreement with the He family, so he would force the "land snake".

The He family has been married into the Shen family for many years, and he is still partial to his mother's family, what is said over there, I believe that the He family will not harm his family.

doesn't talk about Shen Qi and Shen Ling's crimes, only says that his eldest grandson, Shen Dong, disappeared in the old mansion of the sect. Shen Dong is already fifteen years old, a half-grown teenager, not an incapacitated baby or a child who is easily subdued. If you want to take Shen Dong out, you must first be fascinated, and then avoid people to transport it out, this is not something that one or two people can do, nor can outsiders do it.

Shen Hai is not a fool, so naturally he can ask his family to check first, and he really found out two strange things. On the day of Shen Dong's disappearance, the people from the He family who married Zhuangzi once came to eat, and two carriages came, and there were several baskets for vegetables on the carriages. The object of Shen Hai's suspicion is these people, who came ashore and killed the people, and these people were encountered when they went out of the city and were killed by the Japanese invaders.

Although there is an old saying that "no coincidence is not a book", but the two coincidences are next to each other, and Shen Hai does not suspect that the He family is strange. The partial He family was directly aggrieved by the He family, thinking that it was a family of flesh and blood, and would not calculate the Shen family.

The eldest grandson disappeared, the second son was trapped in prison, and the He family was also suffering in the past two months.

Seeing that her husband swore an oath, which was a matter of life and death for her children and grandchildren, He himself was also puzzled. Could it be that it's really the He family?

Thinking of this possibility, He only felt dizzy in front of him. She stood up with the coffee table, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to He's house to ask, what's going on?" ”

Seeing this, Shen Hai hesitated, wanting to encourage his wife to go to He's house to make trouble, but he was afraid that there would be extraneous branches and disrupt Shen Li's deployment.

At this time, I saw Shen Li and Shen Rui coming together, and Shen Li said: "I sent someone to the He family to send a post, and I will visit the He family tomorrow, and my aunt can go with my nephew." ”

Looking at Shen Li's solemn appearance, He's heart was like colic, and he trembled his lips and said, "Could it be that it's really the He family?" ”

Shen Li said: "Although it is not the He family wading a little bit into the water, even if the Shen family can force it to this point, it will not be completely irrelevant." ”

The strong dragon does not suppress the Ground Snake, except when it is supported by another Earth Head Snake. It's just a vertical and horizontal combination, and the reason is simple and easy to understand.

He couldn't deceive himself in the end, with a sad look on his face, he didn't know whether to be more resentful or worried: "That's a wolf, how dare they?" ”

The charge of "communicating with the Japanese" fell on the Shen family, and the Shen family couldn't bear it; fell on the head of the He family, and the He family couldn't bear it.

Shen Hai didn't want to look at his wife's style, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "My nephews have been running around hard for the past two days, and there is a saury in the kitchen, and you asked someone to pick it up and send it up." ”

He sighed and went away, leaving only the three uncles and nephews.

Shen Hai said hatefully: "He Lao Er is the old fox, if you ask tomorrow, he won't answer." Hmph, just rely on one mouth, but he doesn't want to think about whether such a big thing as the Japanese going ashore is something that the Shen family can afford. When Qin sent down, if he was powerful, it was impossible to say that Zhao Xianzhong's next step was to push the He family out. ”

This sentence is angry, Zhao Xianzhong is not a mad dog, he bites one by one. directly offended the Shen family, and had already offended Xie Ge's old party; Involving the He family again, he offended Li Ge's old family again, and his top was over.

However, Shen Hai was obviously not untargeted, took out a pamphlet, and handed it to Shen Li: "This is the strange appearance of the He family before and after the Japanese came ashore, since the incident came out, I asked people to keep an eye on the He family, and sure enough, there were a few things wrong." The sixth room of the He family came to the shore of the Japanese invaders, it was a few men, and these people were nowhere to be found after the Japanese went ashore, but there was no list of these people reported by the government. This is one thing, and there is another thing After Brother Jun and a few of them were detained, a young scribe once came to He's house, and I asked someone to follow him, but he lost it. According to the news from the wharf, in the days when the Japanese came ashore, the He family was supposed to have a few boats back from Sichuan, but there was no movement, and it was gone. If there is no sneakiness in this, it would be strange! ”

Shen Li took it over, a little surprised: "Since you have these, why didn't the uncle ask Second Master He directly?" ”

Shen Hai's face was more solemn: "At first, I wanted to ask, but there was more and more news, and the He family became more and more innocent, so I didn't dare to go." It is not only the He family that calculates the Shen family, but also others. I'm afraid that I will startle the snake and let the other party notice it and clean it up, in that case, the Shen family's charge of 'complication' will not be removed." ”

Shen Li and Shen Rui glanced at each other, both a little dumbfounded.

The impression that the two of them had of Shen Hai before was that they were mediocre and had no responsibility, but now, they know that it is too one-sided.

Since he is the eldest son raised by the ancestor himself, he still has this vision. Compared with fishing out a few sons and nephews, it is indeed more important to exonerate the Shen family. Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? Even if these people are fished out temporarily, by the time the Shen family is convicted, Shen Qi, Shen Jun, and Shen Ling will already be unable to fall well, and they will be beheaded and exiled.

"The person behind the He family should be King Ning." Shen Li said slowly.

King Ning's rebellion, after all, is only an inference, and there is no empirical evidence so far. Shen Li and Shen Rui were afraid that Shen Hai would not know the severity of the leak, so they didn't plan to tell him, they just wanted to negotiate with He Xisheng tomorrow. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, He Xisheng should be able to understand this truth. At present, Shen Hai is not as mediocre as he imagined, and he also has the overall view of the head of a clan, so this matter should not be hidden from Shen Hai.
