Prefect's yamen, inner hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? Chin Cha is here? After getting the latest news from Yan Juren, Zhao Xianzhong suddenly jumped up from his seat: "Isn't it for people to watch at the dock day and night, how can you ask Qin Cha to enter the city like this?" ”

"The students don't know, maybe it's intentional." Yan Juren frowned.

"Intentionally......" Zhao Xianzhong muttered to himself, the cold sweat on his forehead had already fallen. He knew that perhaps the worst possibility might be encountered, not only was the Qin Cha who came down this time not Li Ge's old men, but most of them were people from Xie Ge's old side.

Xie Ge is Shen Li's father-in-law, so he naturally favors his son-in-law. Besides, whether the "rebellion" this time is true, whether the Shen family is involved or not is still two words. The previous so-called evidence really can't stand scrutiny.

"Yumu, this messenger is not good, how is this good?" Zhao Xianzhong touched the top of his head, which was becoming increasingly thin, and looked at Yan Juren, his eyes full of anticipation. He wanted to leave a way back for himself before, but it was also an alliance with the He family, after all, the Shen family was so offended that it was too late, and it was too late to take the initiative to make peace with the Shen family at this time?

Yan Juren has been a staff member for more than half a year, and he has seen through Zhao Xianzhong, who is greedy and has no responsibility, and at this time, he wants to repeat it, so he thinks about it: "If there is no human life in it, the adults can still have a way out, and now even if the adults have the intention to show goodwill, I am afraid that the Shen family will not be relenting!" ”

Zhao Xianzhong stomped his feet and said: "I also regret it, if I know which one is doing the ghost and let the old man carry the black cauldron, I can't spare him!" ”

Yan Juren's eyes flickered, and he said: "My lord, the most important thing in front of you is Qin Cha, no matter what personal relationship Qin Cha has with the Shen family, this is under the rule of the old man after all." If you let Qin Cha continue to investigate like this, I am afraid that the result will be unfavorable to the master! ”

"I don't have a 'messenger', so they dare to wronged me?" Zhao Xianzhong said excitedly.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, what if someone sues first?" Yan Ju is humane.

Zhao Xianzhong was immediately dumbfounded, and several children of the Shen family had no evidence to "communicate with the Japanese", just because someone "came out", he was arrested. If Qin Cha is really the relationship of the Shen family, it is difficult to ensure that the old tricks will not be repeated.

Zhao Xianzhong was able to rise to the prefect, and naturally he was not a fool, and immediately thought of the key point: "I changed into an official uniform to meet the Qin Cha, and since the Qin Cha came down to investigate the case for the Songjiang Rebellion, he naturally should live in the prefect's yamen." With that, I went back to the inner room to change into my official uniform.

Yan Juren was afraid that Zhao Xianzhong would be timid and cowardly, so he concealed the matter of sending Jinyi Wei to Qin, but he was a little unsteady in his heart. Now he can't tell whether he is looking forward to the news from the Zhang family or whether there is no news, there is news that there is a change in Qincha, and there is no news, does it mean that they don't need to check again?

Because Zhao Xianzhong was going to travel, Yan Juren asked someone to send a message to the palanquin man, the official and others were all ready, and the officials of the prefect and the yamen also came to accompany him immediately.

It was a day of rest, and after such a toss, the official residence under the prefect's yamen was overturned for a while. Because it was Yan Juren who sent someone to pass the message, he was annoyed in his heart, so he had to greet Yan Juren's elders in his heart.

After two quarters of an hour, Zhao Xianzhong came out dressed neatly, the sedan chair man and the officials were ready, and the subordinate officials also came six or seventy, and the team looked quite imposing.

Zhao Xianzhong looked at it, and felt a little more confident in his heart. This Songjiang prefect's yamen is his territory, and when Qin sent in, he had to decide how to investigate the case and what to investigate.

Knowing that it was Yan Juren who sent a message to prepare people, Zhao Xianzhong not only did not blame, but felt more and more that he was lovely, and said to Yan Ju with praise on his face: "It's hard to make the rain curtain hard." ”

Yan Juren bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, this is a matter for students. ”

Seeing that this guest and host looked like each other, the subordinate officials of the prefect's yamen looked straight and sour.

Zhao Xianzhong walked to the sedan chair, and then remembered to tell everyone, and said: "Qincha has arrived in Songjiang, take a rest at Hongyun Inn, and you will go with this mansion to welcome Qincha." ”

Although the subordinate officials had long known that the capital was going to send Qin down in the near future, and they rarely knew that the lord of the mansion would lead the crowd to greet them, they did not expect that the place where they greeted them was not Songjiang Wharf, nor was it Shili Pavilion outside the city, but the largest inn in the city, Hongyun Inn.

Among these subordinate officials, the nimble brains have begun to ponder; As for the stupid brain, I also feel that there is no head and no brain, this Qin Cha is an official errand, and he doesn't live in a post station, how can he live in an inn.

In some places, the subordinate officials from large families could not help but whisper. Originally, everyone was surnamed Songjiang, and they were dissatisfied with Zhao Xianzhong's exploitation of the place, and when Zhao Xianzhong pushed the Shen family to take the blame, this dissatisfaction fermented to seven points.

The Shen family has produced two champions, both of whom are old seedlings, and they still have decades of scenery in the officialdom. If the children of each family have become talented and enterprising, only one "fellow villager" can get a lot of shelter; Not to mention the old surnames of Songjiang, if they have relatives, they are not just a "hometown", but they can also be reluctant to say "old relatives".

If Zhao Xianzhong really brought down the Shen family, he would only reduce his own guilt, and the He family, who was bent on competing with the Shen family, would be a loss to other families. Because of this, after the Shen family was caught in a lawsuit, Shen Hai was able to get news from his friend; The head of the Lu family's side also went from being neutral at the beginning to favoring the Shen family.

This Qin messenger came quietly, not staying at the official post or the prefect's yamen, but staying at the Hongyun Inn, what does this mean?

Everyone squeezed their eyebrows, and there was schadenfreude in their eyes.

Although Yan Juren was Zhao Xian's loyal confidant, he had no grade and only followed behind the team. He saw the movements in the crowd, and listened to a few words in his ears, mostly speaking to the Shen family, and he was also depressed in his heart.

Before coming to Songjiang, although he knew that the Shen family had two champions, Yan Juren only regarded them as luck.

When he arrived in Songjiang and began to investigate in detail the descendants and side disciples of each room of the Shen family, when he knew that among them, Jinshi, Juren, and Xiucai were counted, Yan Juren suspected that the ancestor of the Shen family was good at feng shui, and wanted to ask someone to dig the ancestral grave of the Shen family. Other people's families may not be able to raise people, but the Shen family is a big wholesale that doesn't need money. Even the children and grandchildren who have been removed from the list have become talented one by one, and the middle of the lift, the middle show of the show, the fame is at your fingertips.

You must know that the Yan family has made a fortune since Yan Juren's grandparents, and the uncle's generation, plus their generation, has only produced two talents, one lifter.

As the only lifter in the family, Yan Juren was lifted at the age of twenty-five, ranking more than 20, and he looked decent; When he arrived in the capital with great interest, after a spring boudoir, Yan Juren knew what it was to have people outside the world and a sky outside the sky. It's just that he doesn't think that he is not knowledgeable, but finds a rule, that is, the children of Shi Eunuch are more likely to be on the list, and there are only a handful of real poor children. Even if they are not the children of eunuchs on the list, they are also local cultivators, and those whose parents and grandparents are famous, it is easier for their children and grandchildren to go to school.

Yan Ju's family is wealthy, generous, spilled a handful of silver, and made a few Dadong, and finally got a news from the mouth of a drunken third-class jinshi, that is, the eunuch family, the cultivator family, because the elders have experience in the imperial examination, there are many skills to pass on to the children and grandchildren, or ask someone to bet on the question or other tricks.

Yan Juren woke up like a dream, and only then did he know what his shortcomings were. No matter how rich the Yan family is, it is also a merchant family, and it is only in his generation that he has made a move, it is himself, his uncle has produced a showman, and a cousin has been admitted to the age of forty since he was a teenager, and he has also won a showmanship. If he is already an official, the silver can be smashed down, and a backer can come out; But he can't get over the spring boudoir, so how can he talk about anything else?

When he returned to Yangzhou, Yan Juren no longer studied hard behind closed doors, but made friends with scholars everywhere, and also made friends with two farming families. But it's okay to be friends with wine and meat, when it comes to the tricks of the imperial examination, those people are vague.

Yan Juren had no choice but to invite a Chinese person with a lot of money to visit the Jinshi official and want to ask the other party to "bet on the topic". The seventy-year-old man on the other side, with a big beard, shook his head and said that if he had that ability, his grandson would not be just a showman. But he didn't mention his son, his son was also born as a Jinshi, and now he is a magistrate outside.

is both a Zhishi official and the parent of a current official, no matter how dissatisfied Yan Juren is, he can only be polite.

It took three years, Yan Juren still didn't find the "test trick", so he could only enter Beijing again to take the test without confidence.

Watching the new champion ride through the streets, Yan Juren's tears were about to fall.

The family was afraid that Yan Juren would be too frustrated and wanted to buy a vacancy for him, but Yan Juren refused. He was a child at the age of twelve, a talent at the age of fifteen, and a middle man at the age of twenty-five, and he has always been the pride of the family, and he is really unwilling to give up the spring like this.

Just when Yan Juren had no way to ask for help and his temperament became resentful, a turning point came.

Shen Yuan came to Yangzhou and served as a professor of official science under the prefect's yamen. A professor of government studies, a scholar who does not enter the stream, is really not in the eyes of the richest man in Yangzhou. But to the surprise of the Yan family, Shen Yuan actually became the guest of the prefect.

The name of the Shen family in Songjiang was transmitted to Yangzhou with Shen Yuan.

A family, there are champions, there are household books, there are Hanlin, there are a number of jinshi, and a number of people. This is not only the current backer, but also the backer in 20 or 30 years.

If the Yan family wants to sit firmly in the position of the richest man in Yangzhou, it is natural to feed every prefect to their heart's content, and the prefect's yamen has the most eyeliner. Therefore, before the other families in Yangzhou could react, the head of the Yan family had already visited Shen Yuan in person, ate and drank, and had a friendship.

Yan Juren's eyes lit up.

The Shen family, the family of eunuchs, the cultivators, and the children are endless.

Yan Juren put down the arrogance of his talent and took the initiative to entertain this "Uncle Shen Shi" with the elders of the family.

Needless to say, Shen Yuan's appearance and conversation are still quite capable, his appearance is elegant, his conversation is good, and he is also famous. Waiting to knock on the side and inquire about the situation of Shen Yuan's house, it made the Yan family look sideways.

Shen Yuanfa's wife is the cousin of Mrs. Shangshu in the capital, and the family affairs are decided by the boss of Shangshufu; Shen Yuan's stepwife, He, is the daughter of the He family of the Songjiang clan.

Shen Yuan, the eldest master of the Shen family's four-room branch, finally gained real respect in Yangzhou.

If it weren't for He's presence, Yan Juren would have wanted to persuade the elders to "treat Shen Yuan as a wife"; It's a pity that Yan Juren has already renewed, and the daughter of the Yan family has no reason to be a concubine......
