The fine was finalized, and Shen Jin was not ambiguous, and before he left the ancestral hall, he sent the housekeeper back to get the title deed of the shop grange, and negotiated with each house for specific compensation matters.

Regarding the IOU, the Shen clan still has a lot of dissatisfaction.

Although judging from today's everything, the words of the champion must count, but everyone knows in their hearts that no one can take the IOU to collect debts from the champion father, and it depends on whether the champion can consciously take the initiative to repay the silver one day.

Another idea, circulating in the whispers of the clansmen, is to quickly sentence the He family for the crime and confiscate the He family, even if you don't compensate others, pay back the weaving factory of 200,000 taels of silver in the fourth room, which is enough for the champion to pay the clansmen.

If Mrs. He knew that her strategy of looking forward to the Shen family's internal strife would make the Shen family work together - looking forward to the fall of the He family, she would have to be angry.

In order to save face for the champion, Shen Yuan's cane punishment cannot be executed in front of all the clansmen, and it is planned that the punishment will be carried out by the patriarchs and the elders of the clan later.

Shen Qi was about to open his mouth to the end of the first clan meeting after this sect division, when Shen Yong of the third room and the master of the ninth room got up together and called it off.

The ninth room master guessed that Shen Yong was remembering the family tree for Shen Ling, because he knew that Shen Zhou was present, he was afraid that there would be a break in this matter, for fear that he would mistake his own business, so he preemptively said: "Patriarch, Brother Lu is the son of the Jianyi Tang sect, and his business is also a matter of the clan, you have to give an accurate word!" ”

This is to entangle Shen Li unsuccessfully, and to entangle the clan again, the old man is calculating, Shen Qi is just lifting people, and Shen Ying, although Shen Ying is worried at home, he has always had some connections in Beijing for a long time. Even if it didn't matter, when the clan spoke, Shen Li couldn't ignore Shen Lu's matter.

When Shen Hu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhu'er's affairs can't be ignored in the clan!" ”

Shen Qi frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Sixth Brother Li has already said before, the two of them are just 'human witnesses'!" If the wronged clan must be in charge of it to the end, but only to testify, and there is no Qin Cha to do so, the clan can only send more people to inquire, and then deal with it when there is something to say. ”

The ninth room master ignored it completely, and stared at Shen Qi for a promise: "Brother Qi, you just give me a word, no matter what, let him come back with all his beards and tails." ”

Shen Qi asked rhetorically: "He is a 'human witness', how does the master know that he can't come back with all his beards and tails?" ”

This question made the Jiufang Master feel a nest, yes, what Shen Lu did, the Jiufang Master knows best, if it wasn't clear, he wouldn't be so worried, where is just a "human witness", this "human witness" can become a "sinner" at any time.

The Nine Chambers Master turned his head to stare at Shen Li and Shen Rui again, these two knew what Shen Zhu had done.

"Sixth brother...... "The ninth room master had no choice but to call Shen Li again, and said: "The patriarch and all the clan relatives are here, you are a person from the ninth room, and you can't ignore Brother Lu in the clan!" ”

"When did the clan say that they didn't care about Shen Lu?" Shen Li sank his face, "Then Master, you said that he is a human witness, what can the clan do?" What can I do? ”

The ninth master was choked again. Naturally, he asked Shen Li to find connections, go through relationships, and spend money to rescue Shen Lu - he thought so, he could say that the door in the ninth room was closed, but he couldn't say this in front of the whole clan.

The ninth room master simply played a scoundrel, "You always have a way, I'm old, just this one load-bearing grandson, I just want my brother Lu to come back with all the tails!" ”

Shen Li laughed angrily: "The master thinks too highly of me!" ”

Shen Rui hurriedly came to relieve Shen Weiwei, "Master, now that Brother Lu is a human witness, there is nothing to do, but if the clan frequently goes to the yamen to move around at this time, it makes people wonder what he has done, why are the clansmen so nervous." If this makes Qin Cha suspicious, and then he is tortured, won't it affect Brother Lu? The patriarch is right, now, it is safe to wait and see what happens. ”

The nine-room master was stunned, but he didn't expect this, and he was a little afraid.

What kind of grandson is the old man knows too well, where can he be tortured, if Qin Cha didn't suspect him, and if he shows his feet again, Qin Cha tortures Brother Lu, then it will be completely over.

The ninth room master was no longer entangled, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was unwilling to ask for the guarantee, and said, "In the clan, you can't ignore Brother Lu." ”

Shen Rui smiled and said, "Master, the patriarch just said that if you are wronged, the clan will be in charge of it to the end." He turned his tongue and set up an ambush, this Shen Lu and Shen Zhu were all self-inflicted, but it was impossible to be "wronged".

The ninth room master couldn't hear it, so he had to sigh.

Shen Hu didn't hear it at all, he just felt that his son was wronged, so he also asked for a guarantee that he must take care of Shen Zhu to the end, so as not to make trouble.

Shen Yong didn't grab the words just now, and when he saw that the matter had come to an end, he hurriedly came out and said: "Now that the lawsuit has been concluded, and there is a public discussion in the clan, my brother Ling is really innocent and died in vain. ”

Saying that, Shen Yong went to see Shen Hai again, but he had reached an agreement with Shen Hai before. Who knew that Shen Hai's patriarch was lost, but now Shen Hai is the patriarch, and he is not speechless.

However, Shen Hai didn't listen to it, he only looked down at the green bricks on the ground, and didn't look at Shen Yong.

When the other people on the field heard this, they all showed more or less mocking looks.

Shen Zhou's face was even darker, and when the accident occurred, he removed his biological son from the clan, and even did not hesitate to go to the yamen to report, for fear of being stained with a star, and now there was an official sentence and a pension, and he came back in a hurry to pretend to be his father, which is shameless!

Without waiting for the patriarch Shen Qi to speak, Shen Zhou had already spoken: "I didn't know that this genealogy was to be removed if you wanted, and you could add it if you wanted!" ”

Shen Yong was a little embarrassed, but Shen Zhou and Shen Li's troubles were all expected by him, and he had already thought of his rhetoric, and immediately said: "There was a lawsuit before, and I was afraid of dragging down the He clan, so I had to expel Brother Ling'er." But in the end, he is the bloodline of the Shen family, and now that he has cleared his grievances, he should bury his bones in the blessed land of the Shen family. Second Brother Zhou, Brother Ling has been serving in front of you for a few years, before and after the saddle, there is no merit and hard work, second brother, can you bear to watch him be that lonely ghost without roots? ”

It's okay not to mention the part where they coexist, but when he mentioned it, Shen Zhou really felt a pain in his heart, and his gaze at Shen Yong was even more chilling, "Hugh Ti was the beginning!" At the beginning, you wrote the documents by yourself, and Brother Ling's marriage and future were all arranged, and never interfered, why did you pretend that your mother-in-law was sick and let him come back? ! If it weren't for your husband and wife's uneasiness and kindness, and gave him the empty shop, how could Brother Ling have befriended any Fujian businessmen and thus been wrongfully imprisoned? If you put him in prison, you will clean him up, and you will ruthlessly exterminate him! If you hadn't abandoned him, how could he have died unjustly! ”

The more Shen Zhou spoke, the more annoyed he became, and the more Shen Yong listened, the more embarrassed he became, and he couldn't help but turn his head to Shen Hai for help, "Brother Hai, you have a word for me, we said it before......"

Shen Zhou heard the words and went to see Shen Hai, although he saw that Shen Hai was silent with his eyes and nose, but he also guessed that the reason why Shen Yong dared to mention it must have been discussed with the former patriarch Shen Hai first, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, and said coldly first: "It turned out that Brother Hai supported him, and this clan record turned out to be determined by the patriarch's words." ”

Shen Hai was already annoyed with Shen Zhou's Shen Li, and was ridiculed by Shen Zhou in front of him like this, and immediately hated Shen Yong for dragging him into the water, forgetting what he had agreed with Shen Yong before, and scolded: "I told you before, is it child's play to remove the clan record, you feel sorry for your son, it's not such a painful method, what do you ask me to do?" Ask the new patriarch how to deal with it impartially! ”

In a few sentences, he threw the matter to the new patriarch.

Shen also secretly hated in his heart, this matter, the left side is the clan rules, and the right side is the bloodline, it depends on how "impartial" you Qi boy is.

Shen Qi ignored this provocation and only said with a straight face: "Since it has been filed in the Yamen, it is no longer a matter of the Shen family, not only 'impartiality', but also in accordance with the national law." ”

Shen Hai choked, and then glared at Shen Yong.

Shen Yong disagreed, and said: "The national law is nothing more than human affection, the tree has roots, and the water has a source, how can the national law cut off the bloodline of the father and son, as long as the patriarch ......"

Shen Qi had a good impression of Shen Ling, and shared hardships with Shen Ling in prison, and Shen Ling died tragically, but Shen Ling's wife and children were treated indifferently by Sanfang, or his mother and Shen Rui came forward to help settle it, Shen Qi's disgust with Sanfang and Shen Yong reached its peak.

Hearing Shen Yong still talk about his bloodline so shamelessly, Shen Qi interrupted him and said: "The law of the country is the law of the country, and Second Uncle Yong still wants to test the law?" Second Uncle Yong dared, but his nephew didn't dare to take this risk with the whole family. ”

The household registration system can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest, and to the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a strict household registration system, and to the first emperor Hongzhi years, the armor protection system began to be implemented in the country, mandatory to each door on the listing, the number of Dingkou, the name, than the early Ming Dynasty and a few points stricter.

Household registration is a red line on the law, although the yamen will do things if you step on the line and stuff the silver, but if someone really takes it out and sues it, it is a right one.

The Shen family has been filed in the official government, moved out of Shen Ling's household registration, and wants to move back, but it takes a lot of effort to go to the yamen, if you ignore the yamen record, and silently record Shen Ling back to the family tree, and admit his household registration in the Shen family, it is also invalid.

That's why Shen Qi said this.

Shen Yong only smiled dryly: "The people don't sue and the officials don't investigate, where is there such a serious ......?"

Shen Qi said: "I heard that when Second Uncle Yong went to the Yamen to file the household registration of Second Brother Ling's family of three, the three of my brothers were still in prison, and Second Brother Ling's household post could not be received, so Second Uncle Yong asked someone to send the household post of Second Brother Ling's family to the second sister-in-law of the inn. He couldn't help but show a little sarcasm on his face, and he wanted to emphasize the pronunciation, "There was no delay for a long time." ”

Shen Yong's face turned red when he heard this, and he said, "That's not to implicate the He...... clan."

Shen Qi ignored it and said to himself: "Since the household post is in Ling's second sister-in-law, now if you want to re-register your household registration, according to the Daming law, you must have Ling's second sister-in-law nod and take the household post to the yamen to do it." ”

It's strange that Shen Ling's wife, He Shi, is willing to go.

Everyone present knew this, in front of the sect's house, He stubbornly refused the sect's help, and left resolutely with her husband's bones alone, how could she turn back.

Shen Yong naturally knew that he didn't look for the He family once or twice, but he always closed the door, so he wanted to ignore the mother and son at all, and get the household registration back first.

What else can a woman from the Ho family do? really didn't listen to discipline, it was a big deal to send her to remarry, his grandson was still his own grandson, and he would tease his grandson in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Yong said: "The He family is young, I don't know the severity, and Brother Xiao Nan is small, my wife and I are really worried about it." And she is young and widowed, and lives in ...... like this Well, it's not good to live outside......"

Although Shen Yong didn't say that it was a widow's sister-in-law living in his brother-in-law's house, and his reputation was hindered, his eyes kept drifting to Shen Rui's side.

Shen Rui was immediately angry, he had not spoken out because he was lazy and involved with Shen Yong's cold and confused people, but now he was bullied on his head, how could he allow Shen Yong to splash this basin of dirty water, and said coldly at the moment: "That house has long been transferred to Brother Xiao Nan's name, and the mother lives in her son's house, I don't know what's wrong?" Or, I didn't know that Second Uncle Yong had prepared a house for Ling's second sister-in-law, mother and son? ”

Shen Quan was listening in the hall, and when he heard this, he immediately sneered: "When Second Uncle Yong drove Ling's second sister-in-law and mother and son out of the clan, and when their mother and son were forced to live in the inn, why didn't Second Uncle Yong feel that it was inappropriate?"

Shen Li also said coldly: "What did Second Uncle Yong say? He Zhenlie, the whole family knows, Second Uncle Yong is now troublesome about moving to the house, and wants to directly splash dirty water to force her to death? ”

Shen Zhou was even more furious, and scolded: "It's just crazy, let your own flesh and blood be left outside, but you have to complain about others reaching out to help?" ”

Shen Yongyuan was afraid of Shen Zhou and Shen Li, and was so stunned by everyone that he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and hurriedly said, "I'm ...... I...... That's not what it means. Brother Ling's daughter-in-law is a good one. This and this are young ...... I'm also afraid that she won't be able to take Brother Xiao Nan well......"

As he spoke, he pulled the topic to Brother Xiao Nan again, and sighed: "One of the saddest things in this life is the loss of a son when you are old, Brother Ling is gone, and I, a white-haired person, send a black-haired person, and my heart is also fried." Alas, fortunately, there is still Brother Xiao Nan here to comfort me. After the genealogy is done, I will also take care of Brother Ling's funeral, and take my grandson back to discipline it personally. ”

Shen Qi of the sixth room had long been unaccustomed to it, so he snorted coldly and said loudly: "Listen to this, Second Uncle Yong has arranged it, so what are you doing in the clan to talk about this!" ”

Shen Yong said: "This father is the son, naturally I can arrange it, and only the genealogy has to be recorded......"

Shen Qi interrupted him and said: "After the clan is removed, the relationship between father and son is also broken, where else does the father come from as the son?" Now that Second Brother Ling's family is on its own, Second Uncle Yong is afraid that he will not be able to be the master of others. ”

Shen Yong was speechless by the juniors one after another, and he was also annoyed at the moment, so he said, "What are these words!" Isn't that my son, not my grandson?! What do you mean by the fact that one or two of you are not asking them to remember their genealogy?! ”

Shen Qi sneered: "It's not that we won't let it, it's the national law that won't let it." Didn't you listen to what the patriarch said, this matter, I want the He family to nod. ”

There are also two brothers Shen Hu and Shen Lian in the third room. Shen Lian knew that the second brother was not authentic in this matter, and when he wanted to exterminate Shen Ling, he never said anything, and now he is very ashamed, because he is not reasonable, he has never helped.

Shen Hu opened his mouth and said, "How can Brother Ling's daughter-in-law not be happy? Call her to the ancestral hall and ask. I don't believe it, can she watch her husband become a lonely ghost who can't be buried in the ancestral grave, and watch her son lose his foundation and have no family protection? As he spoke, he shouted at Shen Yong and said, "Second brother, it's useless to say that, ask the second brother and sister to call Brother Ling's daughter-in-law and ask her face to face." ”

Shen Lian slandered in his heart, and the second wife of Yong had to fight in the past, so he hurriedly remedied: "Let the Zhao family (Mrs. Liansi) accompany your sister-in-law to help her." ”

When these words spread to the lady in the East Chamber, Mrs. Yong looked unhappy.

Mrs. Yong's second wife thought about coaxing the He family to record the family tree first, and the silver fell into her own pocket, and she was a mother-in-law who wanted to hold the He family. I also wanted to make a show to show the clansmen how loving her mother-in-law was, and how disobedient the daughter-in-law of the He family was.

It's a pity that He didn't give Mrs. Yong this opportunity at all, and just closed the door.

At this time, she called the second wife of Yong to call the He family, she was 10,000 unhappy, if the He family gave her a closed-door soup again this time, even if she let the whole clan see that the He family was disrespectful, and one of her mothers-in-law personally sent it to the door to ask the concubine and daughter-in-law to slap her face, it would be a great shame.

The second Mrs. Yong is a rectum, she can hang everything on her face when she wants it, she brushed her face at the moment, and snorted coldly: "She is a daughter-in-law, and she can't ask my mother-in-law to invite her in person!" It's such a big face, just send a mother-in-law there. ”

Mrs. Liansi was also very dissatisfied with her husband's decision, so she didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the second and second rooms, but since her husband said it, she also knew that her husband was afraid that he would want to ease one or two in the middle, especially after listening to Mrs. Yong's words, she understood her husband's intentions more and more, although she was unwilling, she still smiled and said: "Where did the second sister-in-law say it, it's just to go over to see her grandson." I accompanied my sister-in-law for a walk. ”

Mrs. Sanfang Haosan secretly glanced at the sister-in-law who was not moving, and then got up and said, "I will also accompany my sister-in-law." ”

Wufanghong's wife Guo has always been kind-hearted, and she has pitied He's mother and son, and she often visits them these days, and the relationship has become closer and closer. As soon as the word was passed over there, and the second wife of Yong here waited for an answer, Guo's heart sank, for fear that the wives of the third room would bully He's mother and son in the past, so he got up and said, "I'll go too." ”
