Chapter 548: The Mirror Hangs High (5)
"Messenger"?
Second Master He felt that the cold hair stood up, such a crime, but can he be touched? It is not his safety alone, it involves the future of the He family. At the slightest suspicion, his eldest brother's future stopped at the squire. You must know that his eldest brother He Da Ye is only in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is already a third-grade waiter, so he will not talk about it when he enters the cabinet, and after a few years of qualifications, Shangshu is expected.
Second Master He regretted it a lot, and finally realized how short-sighted he was before. Before, he was just jealous that the Shen family had another champion, and the reputation of the Songjiang Shen family in Jiangnan Shilin reached its peak, and everyone could see that with the accumulation of qualifications of the two champions, the Shen family would become more and more prosperous. In contrast, there are few younger generations of the He family who can handle it.
It is true to accumulate wealth, and it is the real purpose of the second master of He to pour the basin of dirty water of "Tongwei" on the head of the Shen family, so that the Shen family's jade generation will have more twists and turns, and not to press the He family too much. I didn't expect to harm others and myself, and now this basin of sewage is dirty on myself. It was because he was accustomed to small means that he forgot that the landing of the Japanese was a major event, which would cause turmoil in the imperial court, and that the case of "Tongkou" was not convicted by the magistrate. In addition, the Shen family has excellent younger brothers, and there are many old relationships between in-laws, and not everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
Can the Shen family reverse the charge of "complication", can the He family reverse it?
Second Master He was cold.
He Wu is young in the end, and after listening to it for a long time, his expression is shocked, not to mention that it is someone else, even he himself can't help but doubt his second brother. The He family's industry has doubled in the past ten or twenty years, and the second brother's courage is getting older and bigger. But the "Japanese Kou" went ashore to harm people's lives, not to mention other families, it was the one who died next to the He family, and it was the clan brothers who had dealings with He Wu.
On the contrary, the old lady He, who was originally trembling, had a calm face, and seemed to be standing more stable than before.
Shen Rui was standing not far away, and happened to see Mrs. He, her eyes stared straight at the hall, her eyes did not fall on Second Master He, but on Wang Shouren, and her heart moved.
Shen Quan next to him was concerned about the chaos, he had already believed Shen Jun's accusations, and the eyes of the people who looked at the He family were full of hatred.
Old Mrs. He has already made a plan to break the boat, and if Qin Cha dares to judge the case in confusion, she will untie his relationship with the Shen family. As for the Xuezheng University, who was regarded as her savior before, she didn't dare to count on it now, and the only hope was that the case would be delayed.
At this moment, Second Master He had already reacted, and he couldn't wait to kneel down and shout grievances, and he no longer had the calmness and calmness he had before.
The gentry and the people in the hall were filled with righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait for Lord Qincha to immediately sentence the second master He to be decided.
"Silence!" A shocking sound made Second Master He and everyone quiet.
Wang Shouren said with a cold face: "Zhao Xianzhong and Shen Jun v. He Nansheng 'Tongwei' case is retried in a separate case, and now on the 'Shen family's third son Tongwei case', bring another suspect, Yan Baowen, to court!" ”
Yan Baowen is just a person, just because he is a confidant of the prefect, and he has also been a guest of the gentry of Songjiang Mansion for most of the past half a year. In the eyes of everyone, he is a wealthy, elegant and gentle person, but Yan Baowen, who was escorted up by the officials, seems to be a different person, with gray sideburns, a rickety body, and a wilted person.
Different from Zhao Xianzhong's previous quibbles and shirks, Yan Baowen confessed to several accusations here, admitting that he resented the Shen family because of the repentance of the Shen family's four-room eldest lord, and took advantage of the fact that Zhao Xianzhong was in a hurry to bewitch Zhao Xianzhong to frame the Shen family to shirk responsibility and avenge himself; Shen Ling's death and Shen Qi's disability were also caused by his torture.
How much Zhao Xianzhong resented Yan Baowen before, how grateful he is now. Although the black gauze hat on the head can't be saved, there is no such thing as "abusing soldiers to death", and it will not affect the children and grandchildren.
Yan Baowen admitted that he framed a false accusation and persecuted the three sons of the Shen family, and he killed to pay for his life, and sentenced him to be beheaded, only to be beheaded after the autumn, and confiscated the family property; The third son of the Shen family was completely cleared of the suspicion of 'colluding with the Japanese' and acquitted; Yan Baowen recovered the family property, half of which went to the household department, and half of it was paid to Shen Ling's widow, Shen Qi, and Shen Jun respectively in accordance with the ratio of 631.
Zhao Xianzhong first guarded the place when the "Japanese Invaders" went ashore to plunder, causing huge casualties among the people; Immediately, in order to shirk responsibility, knowing that the third son of the Shen family was framed, he had already let it go, and he was an accomplice to the persecution of the third son of the Shen family, and he was removed from office and never hired; confiscation of family property; Exiled for three thousand miles.
Waiting for several presiding judges to leave the court, the onlookers were still confused.
That's it? What has become of the duel between the two Shen He families, who have been looking forward to this for a long time? Zhao Xianzhong's future was completely ruined, Yan Baowen returned his life, and He Mian, who killed two "witnesses", committed suicide, what about the second master He who is suspected of being the "real murderer behind the scenes"?
Is this lawsuit closed, or is it not over?
To say that it is over, the three sons of the Shen family have cleared their charges; If you want to say that it is not over, this Second Master He has been suppressed again and has not been released.
If Second Master He only involved framing the third son of the Shen family, in the current situation, everyone would be afraid of three points, after all, it was a lively crowd, and whether it was good or bad was the business of the Shen He family; At this point, if Second Master He is really involved in the "Tongwa", he is the enemy of each family.
is different from the previous "Shen Family's Three Sons Tong Wa Case", at that time, people who were a little more well-informed knew that the Shen family was a real victim, and it was the prefect who was looking for someone to carry the black pot; The suspicion of the second master of He is peeling off the cocoon and presenting it in front of everyone little by little. Even He Wu decided in his heart that his brother was not innocent, let alone other people's families.
If it weren't for the suppression of Songjiang Mansion at the entrance of the court, there was also a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit, and everyone would have made a fuss. No one dared to roar in court, and the anger was naturally directed at the He family who were also in the hall.
At this time, what everyone thought in their minds was that the He family had a backer in the capital, which made He Er "act for the tiger" to harm the place. Even the Shen family can't get justice, so can the other victims' families still get justice?
"He Mian killed two people to pay for his life, Yan Baowen killed one person to pay for his life, He Er killed more than 100 people, so he lost his conscience, he deserved a thousand cuts!" A white-haired old man, with red eyes, glared at Mrs. He's mother and son.
Another young man in plain clothes also stepped forward, stopped Mrs. He, gritted his teeth and said: "The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, the He family is for money, but they don't even let go of the neighbors, no matter how much silver is stained with blood, you can sleep soundly?" Your He family is still not human, and do you still have any people's hearts? ”
Needless to ask, these two are the families of the victims of the Songjiang raid.
He Wu's face was full of shame, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. If he hadn't retained a trace of clarity, knowing that some things he couldn't admit even if he knew, he would have apologized.
Mrs. He was still calm, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "If it is really my son's guilt, the He family will never shirk; If my son were innocent, he would not be slandered. With the grievances of several Langjun of the Shen family in front, please think about it more and don't want to create another unjust case! The people who came ashore to plunder were not mountain bandits and thieves, but thousands of pirates. This old household in Songjiang City, who doesn't have a blood feud with the Japanese Kou, my He family is no exception! Although the old body is just an old woman in the inner house, but she gave birth to four men to the He family, and now she will rely on the old man to say that if the second child of my family has a little hook with the widow, even if the national law is tolerant, the He family will clean up the door! ”
The old lady is also in her eighties, and she has always had a good reputation for pity for the poor and the weak, but after these words, many people were appeased.
Some believed these words and fell into contemplation, and some still doubted, but they were also hindered by He Shilang not daring to persecute too much, and finally everyone looked at the people of the Shen family standing next to them.
Shen Yuan, Shen Li, and Shen Jin, who were in the hall before, had already entered the back hall with Qin Cha and Xuezheng; The rest are Shen Hai, the eldest lord of the Shen family's sect on crutches, Shen Quan, Shen Rui, Shen Ling's father Shen Yong, and a few people from the side branches.
If Second Master He is really innocent, then everyone will naturally have nothing to say; If Second Master He is really "Tongyu", then only the Shen family can seek justice for everyone.
The people do not fight with the officials, this is a truth that has been passed down through the ages. Even if some families have children, they are not as powerful as the He family.
Shen Hai's face was gloomy, without the slightest joy of winning the lawsuit, he sneered at Mrs. He's mother and son, and threw his sleeves away. Until today, He Mian committed suicide in fear of sin, which made Shen Hai sober up, and in the case of the third son of the Shen family, the second master He calculated too deeply, and he didn't care about his relatives at all, so he was completely chilled, and he no longer had the intention of easing with the He family; However, Shen Hai was not so satisfied with Shen Jun's behavior of biting Second Master He. He thinks that he knows a little bit about the second brother-in-law of He Er, but he is greedy for money and profit, loves to use small means, and is not a bold person.
If there is no Master He as a Beijing official, it will be okay for Shen Jun to bite Second Master He; But since Master He is here, it is impossible to say that Master He will take revenge on Zongfang. Obviously, Shen Yuan and Shen Li are back, why do you want to let the sect come out and offend people?
This second son has always been lively, and he is the most slick and sleek, why did he make a mistake?
Shen Hai asked in his heart, where was he still happy to deal with Mrs. He, so he left.
The rest of the Shen family members all spoke without weight, so everyone looked away. There are also people who look at Shen Rui and Shen Quan a lot, these two have a second-room heir, and the heir father was a scholar before his death; One is the youngest son of the fifth room, a young man, and the current steward of the fifth room, if he is still doing other people's families, even if these two people are young, they are also qualified to speak; But now, in addition to the patriarch, there are also Shen Li and Shen Jin, who are the champions, and Shen Yuan, who has a fourth-grade official body and is an elder, is in Songjiang, so it is not Shen Rui and Shen Quan to speak about the Shen family's lawsuit.
Mrs. He's face was calm, but she was so distracted that she had no intention of making any more plays, so she helped her son by the arm and got into the carriage and left in a hurry.
Shen Rui and Shen Quan also left the yamen, and Shen Quan showed a worried look at this time, and said, "How can Uncle Yuan's matter be revealed, will it affect you and Brother Jin?" ”
The new book "The Patriarch is Stressed" was first released at the starting point, and it was troublesome to ask for a collection and recommended votes at the starting point.
