Shen family room, front hall.

For there were five chambers of mourning, and there was a plain seat.

On the table, seeing that Shen Yuan was still quite gentle, and Shen Li was still lukewarm, Shen Hai only felt that his chest was blocked, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I know that it was my incompetence that made others look down on the Shen family, not to mention that the white-eyed wolf of the He family always thought about the Shen family, even the little people who came from the eighth road dared to bite the Shen family." I can't protect the clansmen, and I sit on the patriarch's seat without a word, and when the lawsuit is over, the rooms will come together and discuss, and this patriarch will still have a capable person to live in. With sour words in his mouth, he couldn't help but look at Shen Li from the corner of his eyes. The meaning of the words was beyond the words, so he almost pointed to Shen Li's face and said that he was worried about the position of the patriarch.

It's just that he kicked his nose on his face, seeing that Shen Yuan was kind, he wanted to use Shen Yuan to lower Shen Li's face.

Shen Jun lowered his head to accompany him, listening that something was wrong, and hurriedly watched everyone's reactions.

Shen Yuan pondered, the corners of Shen Li's mouth were more sarcastic, and Shen Rui frowned.

Shen Jun secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and he hurriedly explained: "My father is guilty these days, and he is worried about Brother Xiaodong, he is in a trance, and he is confused when he speaks. ”

Shen Li lowered his head and said: "I don't know how to restrain the clansmen, I don't have to take responsibility in case of trouble, and I can't protect the clan's sons and sons, so I'm really confused." ”

This is not the slightest affection, Shen Hai's face was flushed, he got up with "Teng", and flipped the table at once.

The plates and bowls fell to the ground, and the ground was in shambles.

The subordinates waiting at the door were shocked and horrified, and the others were okay, and they could get up and avoid it. Shen Jun was not dexterous in his legs, if it weren't for Shen Rui helping him beside him, he almost overturned with a chair.

Shen Hai gasped for breath and glared at Shen Li angrily: "Shen Da Zhuangyuan, your name is Shen Jiazi, in addition to being a champion to give the Shen family a reputation, what else have you done for the Shen family?" You have restrained your people, you have taken responsibility, which one have you sheltered? Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, all these years you have been in the capital in the scenery, which one bothered Baal for the sake of the clansmen? Patriarch? Scold! What kind of patriarch am I? As early as when the head of the house was divided, when the old lady was there, he still sold the old lady's face; The old lady has gone, which of your rooms has put me in his eyes? Now that something has happened, blame me, but I don't want to think about it, Shen Qi in the fifth room gave up being the second son of the imperial examination who returned to his hometown to keep his business, and Shen Ling in the third room is just a concubine who follows the second room to take care of the housework, but the Zongfang is not only Shen Jun is in prison, but also the eldest son and grandson are missing......" Speaking of this, he really said sadly: "My little brother Dong, I still don't know if I live or die......"

These days, the clansmen are talking a lot, and the hearts of the people have been scattered.

Shen Hai has been holding back the fire in his heart, so he couldn't stand Shen Li's coldness and came out.

Shen Yuan saw that he was also over the age of sixteen and his hair was gray, and he thought of Shen Jue who died in the capital, his face was unbearable, and he looked at Shen Li, wanting to say peace and one or two. But Shen Li and Shen Rui's expressions were very similar, both of them were frosty, showing disdain. Seeing this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but pause with the words of persuasion on his lips.

Shen Li sneered, "Bothering Baal? The patriarch looked at us, why did the late grandfather of the second room leave Songjiang in his early years and have not returned for many years? How did I, the grandson of the nine houses, lose my family property and become a side branch? There is also Rui Ge'er, how many people up and down the Songjiang Shen family have been rescued by their aunts, but as a result, the aunts passed away, and the heads of the houses united to calculate the inheritance and dowry, and connived at the evil grandmothers of the four rooms to murder their grandchildren; Shen Ling, who died unexpectedly, was innocently imprisoned, and was not sheltered by his relatives, but was removed from his family. The bullshit Songjiang Wang clan, this joke of the Shen family is not one or two, the so-called clan relatives, this stabbing knife is much more ruthless than outsiders! ”

Everyone says that the old patriarch is good, but the old patriarch treats the ancestors of each house respectfully and closely to the clansmen during his lifetime, not to mention that he is a responsive character, but also comprehensive. The tragedy of the second room happened early, sixty or seventy years ago, and the old patriarch was still a teenager, so he couldn't count it. But the ninth grandfather relied on his seniority to rob the widow's nephew and daughter-in-law's property and the heads of the houses to jointly calculate the Sun family's dowry after Sun's death, but it happened when the patriarch was in the matter. In the end, it's just mud, and where is there any justice.

After Shen Li won the championship in high school, it was not that he didn't think about revenge, but the old patriarch persuaded him hard, and because of his reputation, he just ignored the Jiufang Taiye and didn't do anything with his backhand. However, the so-called blood kinship has long been looked down on, and what the Shen family values is only Shen Rui, the son of his benefactor, and the second and fifth rooms that have released goodwill.

Although Shen Hai is "a son is not a father", he has always been proud of the patriarch's grandfather, listening to Shen Li not only complaining about himself, but even the ancestors blamed him, he was so angry that his eyes were full of stars: "Son of a sinner? Slandering the dead like this, your conscience has been eaten by dogs! Don't forget, if it weren't for the grandfather who gave you a family tree, you would be where you are today? My grandfather is sorry for others, how can he ever be sorry for you? ”

This is not a secret, in order to take away his nephew's property, the master of the ninth room secretly slandered the reputation of the widow and nephew, and at that time, Shen Li's mother was pregnant with a posthumous son and was almost forced to die. Later, under the help of the Sun family, although Shen Li was born safely, he was also blocked by the Jiufang Taiye when the genealogy was recorded, and the patriarch Taiye was the master, and finally he was able to record his name.

Shen Hai only felt that this was the kindness of the late patriarch to Shen Li, but was it really so?

The deceased is the greatest, although Shen Li is dissatisfied with the clan, he has no intention of talking to the patriarch about the old things; Shen Yuan's side, the second time he came to Songjiang, it was the first time he heard about it, and it was difficult to say anything for a while.

As soon as the two of them were silent, Shen Hai consciously gained the upper hand, and felt more and more aggrieved by Zongzi, and gushed endlessly: "The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, not deaf, not dumb, not to be a familyman, the head of a family is still like this, let alone the head of a family?" There are always things that can't be taken care of, but as long as you see and hear, those who can make decisions are all in charge, and the rest are powerless. Now that the older generation has gone west, it is our brothers who are also starting to get old. Now there is a distinction between the inner and outer rooms, the clansmen still have relatives, and after twenty or thirty years, our generation is gone, and their brothers of the jade generation are in addition to the heads of each house, and how many are left in the other houses? The Shen family has been based in Songjiang for a hundred years, and it has become the head of all surnames, and it is not one or two families waiting to pull the Shen family to come, there is the He family that jumped out, and how many others are there? If your family is not united, you don't need outsiders to calculate, and it will be broken from the inside. This time, if it weren't for Shen Zhu's open-mouthedness, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of outsiders, and if it weren't for Shen Yuan's lack of virtue, he wouldn't have offended the villain. The clansmen are uneven, and the clan wants to be thoughtful, but they are also powerless. ”

According to Shen Hai's words, the sect became a white lotus.

Shen Rui couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that the mistakes are all three rooms and four rooms, what do you do if you don't do anything in the sect?" Could it be that the one who has been in-law with the He family for two lifetimes is not the clan house? The clansmen are uneven, Shen Zhu is wrong, and Second Brother Ling is also wrong? Just because of the words of the elders of the third room, they fell into the well and removed the clansmen, this is the so-called 'protection'? If it is said that the previous is because of being deceived, it is understandable to mistakenly think that the clansmen have violated the law; Later, when he knew that the second brother Ling was wronged, he never had the slightest intention of defending, so he let the second sister-in-law of Ling stay with her son, and even gave up the money to walk around in private, only thinking about which one was the one who pushed the 'crime' to the second brother Ling? Second Brother Jun is also in front of him, is the patriarch's 'love for his son' also pitiful? ”

With Yan Juren arrested, more details of the framing of the three sons of the Shen family came out, and Shen Hai's previous small actions were revealed, which was also the reason why Shen Li and Shen Rui despised Shen Hai more and more. The patriarch of the clan is not what Shen Hai said to do day work for everyone, in addition to the sacrificial matters, it is the proper duty to open a clan study and take care of orphans and widows, you must know that the patriarch of the Shen clan is in the hands of the clan, and there are 5,000 acres of fertile land, and there are more than 3,000 taels of income a year.

According to the earliest clan rules, the clan house was in charge of clan affairs, and the second room was responsible for the sacrifice of the field, and the expenditure of the sacrifice field was discussed by the head of each house. Later, due to the departure of the second room, the sacrificial field was returned to the management of the sect, and the joint discussion of expenditure became a formality.

The clan is rich, and although it has been run for several generations, it is no secret that it can be cheapened here at the festival. Since you have gained a big advantage, it is also the responsibility of the clan to take responsibility and protect the clansmen when appropriate.

Shen Hai's loss of people's hearts this time was not known by the clansmen by private means, but because of the previous behavior of the "shrinking turtle", which made the clansmen feel cold. This should be taken advantage of, but when things are encountered, they don't take it seriously, what kind of patriarch is this? As Shen Hai himself said, now that he is talking about the sect in private, it is not one or two who feel that the patriarch should be transposed.

When he reprimanded Shen Li, Shen Hai was still angry and justified; At the moment, Shen Rui uncovered his face, but his face turned from red to blue, from green to white, his lips trembled, his eyes were elegant, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Yuan and Shen Li.

Shen Jun was shocked, seeing this, he didn't understand that what Shen Rui said was the truth. Although he is pro-Laozi and is doing this for his own safety, Shen Jun can't say that Shen Hai is right with a clear conscience.

Because of Shen Hai's age, seniority, and Shen Jue's presence, Shen Yuan originally felt that Shen Li and Shen Rui were a little disrespectful, but now after listening to Shen Rui's words, his eyes immediately turned red, and he said in disbelief: "Brother Rui, what you said is true?" Did Shen Hai really spend money to move around to make Shen Ling take the blame? ”

Shen Rui sneered: "Five hundred taels of silver to make a little bit of the yamen pawn, two thousand taels of silver tickets to honor Yan Juren, five thousand taels of silver tickets to the prefect's wife to congratulate her birthday, let people spread the word that they are willing to give up Second Brother Ling, otherwise how dare Zhao Xianzhong let Yan Juren torture Second Brother Ling?" Yan Juren has a grudge against the Shen family, Zhao Xianzhong was once a guest of the Shen family! ”

In the past, Shen Ling was jealous and framed, and then her biological father and mother were removed, and then the patriarch said that she would give up, who would die if Shen Ling didn't die?

Shen Yuan was sad and angry, and he only felt that his blood was surging and his throat was salty.

Shen Hai suddenly aged by more than ten years, took a few steps back, sat down in his seat, and said with a depressed meaning: "It's all my fault, it's me who is old and confused, I'm sorry Shen Ling......"

is a crime related to life and death, who would have thought that there was another inside story, he didn't mean to harm Shen Ling, but really thought that it was Shen Ling's improper friendship that caused the trouble.

Now that it is not as good as outsiders to try the case, Shen Hai's actions cannot be hidden; When the case is tried in public, where can this matter be covered up?

Shen Rui didn't say it a few days earlier, Shen Hai closed his eyes, full of despair, one wrong step, one wrong step, the reputation of the sect was ruined, was he really wrong?
