Compared with the secret vassal king, the crime of fraud in scientific research is not heavy, but the impact is the greatest, and it is also related to the reputation of the children of the whole clan......

If he can choose, He Dongsheng doesn't want any outsiders to know the inside story, but now he needs someone to discuss countermeasures together, the younger brother is hemp rope and tofu can't be mentioned at all, and he can only rely on his henchmen.

Fortunately, there are three staff members who have followed him for many years, and he has also deliberately collected the handles of the three of them, which can be regarded as reliable.

Li Zhenwen, Qi Lianhai, and Wang Zhen's three staff members arrived at the study early in the morning, all of them watched their noses and noses, and deliberately did not look at He Beisheng, who was still with a slap mark on his face behind He Dongsheng, but they all shook their heads in their hearts, not knowing if Dong Weng's slap could wake up this naïve fifth master.

Li Zhenwen has followed He Dongsheng for the longest time, and he is the first master after he entered the officialdom, and he has done a lot for him, and he is the first person in the staff. Therefore, when He Dongsheng sat down, Li Zhenwen came out first to return.

"He Xiang has been recruited, He Mian has a good son for him, and the mother and son are in Nanchang. But instructing people to denounce Shen Qi, and in addition to the person who denounced it, is indeed the meaning of the second master. Li Zhenwen looked at He Dongsheng's expression as he spoke.

He Dongsheng was expressionless, he didn't think much about what the second brother did, if he was in Songjiang, he would have made a move to the Shen family when he encountered such a good time, but the second brother encountered hard stubble this time, and the praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, and he was bought off by the people around him and fell into the calculations of others.

It was He Beisheng, who was angry and sad when he heard this.

Li Zhenwen lowered his eyelids and said: "He Xiang said, in addition to He Mian, there are also six rooms next to He Yansheng and thirteen rooms to He Yong. He Yansheng was the first person to look for He Xiang, and he disappeared after the rebellion. He Xiang said that there were also people from He Yansheng in the Shen family's house, but he was afraid that he followed the car loaded with Shen Dong back to Nanchang. And He Yong should still be in Songjiang now. ”

He Bei was shocked, couldn't help but stand up, and said urgently: "What? What the? Brother Xiaodong of the Shen family's sect is really ......"

He Dongsheng's hands were also tight when he heard this, the eldest lady of the Shen family's sect was originally raised under Mrs. He's knees, and their relationship has always been good...... But seeing that his younger brother was out of shape again, he slapped his palm on the table again and shouted: "The He family and the Shen family have calculated for people, you sit down for me!" ”

He Beisheng opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and slowly sat down holding the armrest of the official hat chair.

He Dongsheng motioned to Li Zhenwen to continue, but Li Zhenwen said that the sentence had been exhausted, and He Xiang couldn't dig anything more out of his mouth. He Xiang is also a pawn and doesn't know much.

That He Yansheng, He Dongsheng really can't remember what he looks like, he has been an official outside, he is not familiar with the clansmen, and he doesn't even know much about the six rooms that belong to the side branch of the concubine. He turned his head to look at He Beisheng and asked him about the six-room He Yansheng, and He Beisheng was also at a loss.

He Dongsheng sighed secretly in his heart, but said sternly on his face: "There are hundreds of people in the He family, and the good and the bad are uneven, so naturally they can't be familiar with them one by one, but the people around you must choose well, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes!" ”

He Beisheng only responded.

Qi Lianhai was in charge of handing over Hu Bingrui's side of Dongchang, and when he saw that the matter here was over, he said, "Father-in-law Hu said that that sentence has reached the front of the emperor. ”

He Dongsheng's face was silent, and his heart was relieved.

Qi Lianhai has a chubby round face, a pair of smiling eyes, and he usually looks like a smile, but at this time he has a bitter look on his face, "However, Gonggong Hu said that Gonggong Qiu lacks a few good calligraphy and paintings in his outer house." ”

How many, width?! He Dongsheng gritted his back molars and scolded the insatiable castration in his heart.

However, when he decided to take this path at the beginning, he knew that this would be the result, but fortunately, the He family had a big business and could afford it.

It's just that this matter has to be done more carefully, now is the time when the civil officials are looking at the eunuchs unpleasantly, and what he knows is that there will soon be another group of imperial historians who will be driven by the cabinet elders to impeach the internal officials. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have ventured into a eunuch at such a time.

He repeatedly instructed Qi Lianhai to keep things secret, and then he looked at Wang Zhen again.

Wang Zhen turned his mung bean eyes, touched the short beard on his lips, and said quite seriously: "As Dong Weng expected, Qiao San's son-in-law went to the Shen family, but the Shen family didn't treat him very well, first they didn't let him in, and then they came out after entering the door, and then they came out with just a cup of tea. As for the Qiao family......"

Wang Zhen's mung bean eyes revealed a bit of joy, as if he was smiling forcefully, and said: "Dong Weng, guess what, it was Qiao Da who came to the door and said that he knew more than Qiao San, and he would never be hired, and he didn't need Dong Weng to use his connections to seek official vacancies, just save the money for him." ”

The others looked a little funny, and their speech was particularly witty, with the flavor of a storyteller in the market, which made several people present laugh.

Even He Beisheng, who was full of sorrow, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.

He Dongsheng laughed twice, and said coldly: "The Shen family is really fortunate for my He family to have a family like the Qiao family. Tell Qiao San some news and tell him not to hold it, just see who of their brothers can give me more news about the Sun family. ”

Wang Zhen said with a smile: "The Qiao family knows everything like this, but we want to prevent them from misleading us with lies for a little money." Also, Dong Weng, the son-in-law of the Qiao family went to the Shen family to report the news in such a hurry, but I was afraid that there were ghosts here, and the students had already sent someone to follow ......"

Qi Lianhai said: "If the Qiao family is really willing to teach Yinqian anything, it would be good to say anything, his family is the second in-law of the Shen family, as long as they are willing to stand up and speak, it is the best evidence." ”

He Dongsheng waved his hand, "The lawsuit three years ago, the boss of the Qiao family was pushed out of the top cylinder, and he was in prison for a while, Shen Cang spent thousands of taels of silver to get him out of all his beards and tails, that person was already frightened, let him sell some news, and he would never dare to come out to testify." ”

"The second elder of the Shen family is a businessman, he has no interest and no courage, and the third is still thinking about the future, he is also a shrewd person, it is not difficult for him to speak, and it is impossible for him to stand up." He Dongsheng glanced at his younger brother who was a little stunned, and coughed dissatisfiedly.

He Beisheng's confused expression on his face has not yet been exhausted, bribing the eunuchs, is this his high-minded literati brother?

Qiao's family? The second room of the Shen family? Didn't the second brother calculate the five rooms of the Shen family, what does it have to do with the second room of the Shen family?

Now that Shangshu has passed away in the second room of the Shen family, the highest official is only a fourth-grade official, and he is still in Nanjing, what to do to deal with the second room of the Shen family?

All kinds of puzzles made him more and more confused, and his eyes moved to the eldest brother, as if in a dream: "The Shen family...... Concubine? What does the second brother's business have to do with the second room of the Shen family? …… Can you save the second brother? ”

He Dongsheng's brows that were loose because of the Qiao family's good show tightened again, but he didn't pay attention to He Beisheng, and instead instructed Wang Zhendao: "That son-in-law of the Qiao family is very interesting, I heard the old lady say an old incident sixty years ago, and you should also send someone to Songjiang to see if there is anything to dig out." Qiao San dared to marry someone from the Shen family, what did he rely on? There must be an article in this. It would be best if he could dig out the handle of the Shen family from that kid's mouth. ”

He also instructed Li Zhenwen to dispose of He Xiang in a few words, sent people to quietly arrest He Yong, find He Yansheng's family, clean up the traces of the He family as much as possible, etc., and sent the three of them down.

After the people left, He Dongsheng turned to He Beisheng and said sharply: "I have already said, now it is about the life and death of the family, from now on, forget about saving the second child, we must save the life of the family first!" The second child is exiled, but he just suffers for a year, and the new emperor will ascend the throne after the year, and he will get married soon, and then there will be a prince, after all, he will have to amnesty the world, and then the second emperor will come back. ”

He Beisheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head in pain, and responded sullenly.

He Dongsheng's face became more and more solemn, he knocked on the table to signal, and when He Beisheng looked over, he stared at him and said seriously: "Fifth brother, you have to understand, I am good, your second brother is good, what are you doing so many things for." Now the He family is far less effective than the Shen family in the imperial examination, if this situation is not reversed, after more than ten or twenty years, there will be more and more people in the Shen family's officialdom, where is there still a place for the He family to stand in Songjiang? Now the second room of the Shen family is moving, not to save the second child, but to curb the career path of the Shen family. ”

He Beisheng was obviously more confused, thinking for a moment, his face was still suspicious, and he snorted: "This, this is too much to check Mrs. Sun, too ...... It was all fifty or sixty years ago, how to check ...... Not to mention Mrs. Sun, even the Sun family has been dead for several years, even if you check something, how can you move the Shen family......"

He Dongsheng said coldly: "I bowed my head to that eunuch, not to dig up the Shen family's affairs from the Yan family's mouth, but to hear these things to the heavens." Without empirical evidence, there are some things that cannot be written and impeached, and this can only be done. However, when he goes to the emperor, there is no empirical evidence, as long as the emperor has suspicion in his heart, the Shen family will not want to make any further progress in his career. ”

He Beisheng's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect this to happen at all.

He Dongsheng once again scolded a fool in his heart, complaining that his mother spoiled her young son too much, and taught him to be a pedantic and stupid nerd.

"You should act in the future, don't just care about temporary gains and losses, you must take a long-term view, and focus on the overall situation, so that you can make a move to prosper your family." He Dongsheng has already explained to He Beisheng in the tone of educating the next generation of the family.

Thinking about it for a while, send a few more useful people to follow Lao Wu back to Songjiang, and over time, Xu is ......

In fact......

A thought has been in He Dongsheng's mind for a long time, if he directly overthrows the Shen family, the fifth child will be a little stupid, and the He family's position in Songjiang is also stable.

"Fifty or sixty years ago, fifty or sixty years ago......" He Dongsheng's eyes were cold, and he whispered: "Fifty or sixty years ago, there was an earth-shattering event. Xu Youzhen became a success because of this...... If it is the surname Sun and the Shen family...... Heh......"

Qiao's old house, flower hall in the outer courtyard

Generally, when parents die, brothers will live together and keep filial piety for three years before moving out.

Qiao's family is different, at the beginning, the three brothers had already separated, and Qiao Er and Qiao San moved out after splitting up, and the eldest son and grandson of Master Qiao naturally occupied the old house.

In the past three years of filial piety, in addition to the indispensable sacrifice of ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Er and Qiao San rarely came to the eldest brother's side.

This time, because of filial piety, Master Qiao informed the two younger brothers that he wanted to do a ** thing for his mother, which was also a filial piety, but the eldest brother said that life was difficult, and he couldn't take out much silver, but let the two younger brothers raise money together.

Both of them are dissatisfied, and their mother was angry with him. It's just a primer to get some money.

In the end, the second master of Qiao has a shop, so he must be more generous, and he also privately told the third master Qiao that he took this house, and it is important to let the third master keep the money and spend it on the blade to find a good place.

Master Qiao San is still quite grateful for the friendship of the second brother, and after looking at it in the past few years, the second brother of this concubine is better than the eldest brother, I don't know how much.

Originally, he was more angry with the eldest brother, but within two days, he got the news that the third master Qiao hated the old man like an enemy, and rushed to the old mansion in anger to reason with the eldest brother.

In the flower hall, Master Qiao San looked at the eldest brother who was drinking tea leisurely opposite, and almost wanted to put the tea cup on the ground, "What does this mean, big brother?" Can't you see me, okay? ”

Master Qiao is a lot fatter than before, but his spirit is not as vigorous as before, the fat on his face is not like long meat, more like puffiness, and his eyes are blue and black, quite like he has been hollowed out by wine, God knows how he keeps filial piety.

Master Qiao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Third child, what are you talking about?" ”

Third Master Qiao stared at Master Qiao, and said almost word for word: "How did the eldest brother know that the He family came to me?" But staring at my house? The eldest brother went to contact the He family again? ”

Master Qiao sneered and said, "If the He family can come to you, can't they come to me?" The He family wants to know something, you have been an official outside all these years, how much can you know, not that I, a landowner, know much. How is this on my head? ”

Master Qiao San blushed, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "You dare to say that it wasn't the He family you went to find?!" ”

When the news came from the He family, he almost exploded his lungs, this big brother, is this the one who came to restrain him?

At that time, his career was just right, and he saw that he was properly promoted to two levels, and Shen Cang was still alive at that time, if he helped with the first or second activities, he would be able to stay in Beijing and do better, and in a few years, maybe he would be able to live in an official residence at this time, and it may not be much worse than He Dongsheng!

But his good eldest brother was first stupid, and was dragged to the top tank to provoke the officials, which made the Shen family impatient, and then he was angry and killed his mother for a little silver!

It's a pity that he was forced to worry about Ding when his future was right, and Ding was in a difficult situation, for three whole years! It's been a wasted time!

Now that Shen Cang is gone, his brother-in-law is far away in Nanjing, his old acquaintances are all gentlemen's friends, and because of filial piety, there are fewer contacts, and it is really difficult to get back again. It was when he was worried, and a He family fell from the sky.

The He family wanted to inquire about the old affairs of the Shen family, the old affairs of Mrs. Sun and the Sun family, and Master Qiao San was very hesitant, and the lawsuit between the He family and the Shen family was very troublesome, and he naturally knew it clearly. At this time, the He family inquired about the Shen family's old affairs, what good things could be!

If he said it, he annoyed the Shen family, and he didn't want to expect anything from the Shen family in the future. Although he was quite dissatisfied with the indifference of the Shen family, Master Qiao San also knew in his heart that his biggest reliance was still on the Shen family.

It's just that the Shen family can't help him now, and the benefits of the He family are in front of him, and the He family said that no matter whether they want to seek a shortage of Beijing or want to be released, the He family can help.

How much affection does the Shen family have for the Qiao family now? This time, the Xu family didn't come to the mother's ceremony, and they didn't even send a junior over...... Even if my sister has no heirs under her knees, at least, her mother is still the aunt of the three brothers of the Shen family!

The sister-in-law and his wife both said that her sister was just a mess now, and as soon as his sister left, Shen Zhou continued, and the Shen family completely got rid of the Qiao family, what else could he borrow?

If you climb up to the He family now, the He family wants officials and officials......

Today's Master Qiao San has long lost the style of those literati at the beginning, and has been cheating and rolling in the officialdom of the prosperous area of Nanzhili for many years, and has already become an authentic official, only counting the pros and cons of gains and losses, and there is no human touch at all.

Just when he weighed the Shen family and the He family repeatedly, and was about to find a way to benefit the most, he heard that the eldest brother cut off the beard halfway and found the He family to exchange the news for silver.

Silver, silver, silver! This fool only has silver in his eyes!

Master Qiao San's eyes were about to breathe fire, "Are you thinking about those few taels of silver and ignoring your brother's future?" What can you do with those few taels of silver! Look at the past few years, what is the situation of the Qiao family without an official?! Why are you still holding me back at such a time?! Not to mention the side, if I find a good place to deal with, I will bring a few nephews in the future, and the Qiao family will not get up! Now that I can't recover, what's the good for you and Qiao's family?! ”

Master Qiao was not angry at all, and grinned, "You can still remember how many nephews you have!" When have you asked your nephew half a sentence in the past few years? He stretched out his finger and flicked the teacup again, "Silver, what can silver do?" Look at what this official said, it is really different from my small people. Hui Yu, my lord, without this silver, your brother and I will not be able to open the pot, what do you say you can do? ”

Master Qiao San almost overturned the table, "You don't have to talk in a weird way!" You can't open the pot?! You are insatiable! ”

Thinking about what the He family said, if he was soaked in the soup by his eldest brother, he didn't know how long it would take......

The anger burned the reason of the third master Qiao to ashes, and he pointed at the old man Qiao and shouted, "You are insatiable!" You were greedy for the silver of the river workers to provoke the officials, and you lost the official position, not to mention, and even affected the family! You were greedy for your mother's private room to kill your mother! You still want to be greedy for your sister's dowry to offend the Shen family! It's all because you're insatiable! Now you have to be greedy again, and you can't hurt me again! How much money do you need to give up?! ”

These words poked at Master Qiao's lungs.

Especially when it comes to the lawsuit of the year, Master Qiao is even more angry, the lawsuit is obviously not his fault, everyone takes it, he takes almost the least, but in the end he lost 3,000 taels of the top cylinder, not to mention, the official is gone, or he will never be hired, and there is no hope at all.

In that lawsuit, his biological mother and his wife didn't save him with money!

He, a good brother who now accuses him of being insatiable, was also a dime a dime at the beginning, and writing letters in the past was a stone in the sea!

The only second brother who treated him well was later co-opted by the third brother!

The third child still has the face to mention the beginning!

Master Qiao Huo Ran got up, kicked over the small table next to him, and shouted, "Who are you talking to?!" What are you going to do with this shouting, shouting, fighting, killing, not going up or down?! At the beginning, okay, just say that at the beginning, when your brother and I were in prison and needed money to save our lives?! Don't talk about silver, do you have a piece of paper to bring back?! Don't you value silver? You don't value silver?! ”

Master Qiao San's face turned purple with anger, and he slapped the table with both palms and said, "I'm in the south!" By the time the letter comes, the lawsuit will be over! Before I could react, the news of my mother's death came! Are you so cruel to your mother because of this?! ”

Master Qiao didn't take the stubble of his angry mother at all, deep down in his heart, he was really ashamed to be angry with his mother, but it was his mother who held the money and refused to save him first, he just sold his mother's private houses, and it was his mother's stinginess and big temperament......

And where is the third child who is really filial to his mother, but he is angry that his mother will be worried as soon as she dies!

"You also have the face to mention the little sister's matter!" Master Qiao directly talked about his sister Qiao's matter, "When I let my little sister return, it was like suffering in the Shen family, what do you say?" Aren't you afraid of breaking off contact with the Shen family and forcing you to prevent your little sister from returning home?! What happened to my little sister now, do you know? She's a living dead now! Alive, dead, man! It's just more breathless than the dead! Are you satisfied? ”

Master Qiao stared at the third brother whose face changed with a sneering expression, "At the beginning, you were so holding on to the Shen family, for fear that the Shen family would get rid of you, but now what, the eldest cousin of Jingtang is gone, and the Shen family can't help you anymore, this He family has a mouth, haven't you turned around and sold the Shen family faster than anyone else?!" What about your benevolence and morality?! ”

Master Qiao San stiffened his neck, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he wanted to argue strongly: "Nonsense! When did I sell the Shen family! It's clearly your ......"

Master Qiao slapped the table, "Enough is enough, the third child, you have made enough trouble!" I'll tell you, everyone eats according to their ability, and I will say whatever the He family asks, whether you love it or not! There is no reason in the world for a younger brother to control his brother! ”

Master Qiao San also kicked the little ones next to him over, and scolded hoarsely: "What kind of brother are you!" Don't say anything about your brother in the future! I don't have a brother like you! ”

He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, "Then let's see, whose words does the He family believe!" ”
