I don't know how the prefect's yamen tried the case, and before Mr. Lu handed over the letter to him, he received a message secretly from the clansmen, and Mr. Zhang was officially detained on the charge of "colluding with bandits and endangering the locality".

For those who don't know, they all think that Master Zhang is mostly innocent, maybe he was involved by the tenant. But Master Lu was shocked, was this "bandit" the "bandit" who attacked the prefect's yamen, or the "bandit" who pretended to be a Japanese robber and robbed Songjiang before?

The former kind of bandits have been caught, will the bandits behind be brought out? Is there really a handiwork of the Zhang family in such a disaster as the robbery of Songjiang Mansion? If that's the case, did the bandits who came to the back door warehouse of the Lu family accidentally learn where the Lu family's silver is, or did they mean the Zhang family?

Even if the Lu family and the Zhang family are descendants of the same ancestor, after all, several generations have passed, the bloodline is far away, and the harmony between the two families is more for outsiders to see. has been going back and forth for many years, and there is no suspicion, otherwise Master Zhang would not have concealed Master Lu's marriage, and Master Lu would not have been suspicious of the Zhang family all of a sudden.

Master Lu has always been cautious, and he got the news, there is no movement here, and Shen Quan is back in the fifth room of the Shen family.

Since Shen Hong's death, the five rooms were mourned, and Shen Rui sent the five room stewards to report the funeral everywhere.

Shen Quan rushed back after receiving the news, and finally returned to Songjiang the day before the "first seven".

Shen Rui and Shen Jin both breathed a sigh of relief, tomorrow's "first seven" is a big sacrifice, and Shen Hong is not without a son, so naturally there is no reason to let the nephew of the next room be in charge. If Shen Quan didn't rush back, Shen Qi would have dragged his sick body forward.

Shen Qi was tortured in the prefect's prison, and then he was filial piety, all the meat and fishiness stopped, and now he is just holding on. If you really want him to come forward to preside over "Burning Seven", I'm afraid that the remaining half of his life will be ruined, but if he doesn't come forward, what will the world think? There are already some rumors, blaming Shen Hong's funeral on Shen Qi's head, if Shen Qi doesn't show up again, I'm afraid that an "unfilial" hat will be worn solidly.

Shen Quan cried in front of his father's mourning hall, and he didn't care about sadness, so he took charge of the "first seven".

Shen Hong, the head of the Shen family's five-room family, has no direct elders, so there is no need to shy away from it, and the funeral should be done "seven seven", that is, the funeral will be mourned on the seventh seven and forty-ninth days at home. Among the "seven sevens", single seven is the heaviest, and relatives and friends must be present; Double Seven is its own people, and the scale is smaller.

With Shen Quan's son here, the total number of scenes of "Burning Seven" was not too ugly, and during this period, Shen Qi also dragged his sick body out, and then was forcibly sent back by Shen Quan.

On this night, according to the rules, in addition to worshipping, the clansmen were asked to come and accompany the night.

With Shen Li and Shen Jin, the two champions, the old and young in the clan naturally did not fall behind, and they wished they could come over and have a more relationship with the two, but they were full of excitement when they looked at it.

Shen Jun also asked someone to carry him, and after worshipping in front of the mourning hall, he asked someone to send him to Shen Qi's courtyard.

Shen Hai was a little uncomfortable when he saw it in his eyes. Although he couldn't get used to seeing the clansmen stammering Shen Li and Shen Jin, he also knew that these two people had a good future, but he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his second son was completely unmotivated.

In Shen Qi's courtyard, it was deserted, and only two little maidservants who had left their heads were serving tea outside.

Seeing Shen Jun coming, Shen Qi was quite surprised, and wanted to get up to greet him, Shen Jun hurriedly said: "You and I are brothers who have shared hardships, what are you talking about, you are lying down." ”

Shen Jun broke his hamstring, and now he has asked a doctor to continue it, but he is not good at traveling, and he is carried by two healthy servants.

Shen Qi instructed the little maid to serve tea, but Shen Jun couldn't help frowning when he saw that he didn't even see a decent maid, and called the little maid who sent the tea and the two healthy servants to go down, and said to Shen Qi: "Why don't you even have a serious servant?" The third child, is this your fault? ”

Shen Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Where did Second Brother Jun go?" It's because I'm too lazy to see people, so I send them out. ”

The previous maids were all old people around his wife, and Shen Qi saw that his wife and children were uncomfortable, so he sent them all out and asked the steward to choose two new people to come in. This is the reason on the surface, and there is also a hidden reason, because there are several mothers and maidservants who are close to Grandma Qi's second grandmother, and they know a little bit about the disappearance of Grandma Qi.

Shen Qi and Jiang are the original husband and wife, and they have children, so they naturally look forward to the day when their wives and children can return safely. If Jiang Shi follows the external rhetoric, he has not returned to his parents' home and has not returned yet, and he does not care about her husband who has been imprisoned at all, he is suspected of being afraid of injustice, but it is better than a young woman who is left out and does not know her whereabouts. The latter cut off the foundation of Jiang's foothold in Songjiang, but the former left a glimmer of life.

Shen Jun's mind has always been active, and he immediately understood Shen Qi's intentions, shook his head and said, "You...... After all, it's still young, so let's look away. ”

The meaning of the words is not clear, but it is just that in the year of Shen Qi's establishment, it is still too late to continue to marry a wife and have children. As for the Jiang family's mother and son, they are not optimistic and feel that they are no longer in the world.

Shen Qi said with a little firmness: "There is no way now, after the funeral, I will go to find their mothers, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, I can't say that God will have mercy!" When Brother Ling was gone, I was also our brother in a catastrophe, didn't I still come out this day? Being both a husband and a father, if I don't go out to them, which can they count on? In the end, I was already unconsciously red.

After all, she is the wife of the original partner and has a pair of children, although Shen Jun is not optimistic in her heart, she is not good at saying any more frustrating words, otherwise it will be like a curse. He came here today, in addition to paying homage to Shen Hong, in order to find Shen Qi to speak.

Now that he is temporarily out of prison, seeing that Qin Cha is also a person close to the Shen family, it seems that the Shen family's case has nothing to worry about, but Shen Jun is still uneasy.

Shen Qi was framed because someone kidnapped his wife and children and paid a ransom to go out. Speaking carefully, even if it is really a "Japanese Kou" who is a kidnapper, Shen Qi handed over the silver to the "Japanese Kou", but it is not a crime to have a wife and children abducted. On the contrary, Shen Jun was first sued by his nephew's scholar, and he was said to be a villain who was jealous of his brother and murdered his nephew.

Shen Jun had already heard Shen Hai mention it, and knew that Shen Li and they guessed that Shen Dong might be taken to Nanchang Mansion, so they had an idea. But he knew that his father had always been timid and afraid of things, and he would not approve, so he came to discuss with Shen Qi, hoping to get his support. He thought of going to Nanchang Mansion, and set off after the lawsuit was over to inquire about Shen Dong's whereabouts.

Shen Qi listened, but did not open his mouth to persuade, but the gaze that looked at Shen Jun was a little hesitant, and he couldn't help but sweep towards Shen Jun's legs.

After a hundred days of injured muscles and bones, Shen Jun was picked with hamstrings after all, and he was delayed in prison for more than a month.

Shen Jun glared and said, "I can't suffer this crime in vain, and I can't suffer this stigma in vain." Although Brother Ling walked indecently, everyone had to say that they were pitiful, but when it came to character, there was no one who didn't say it well. What am I here? If nothing else, it's the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I can't explain it. Who knows if that guy is a gangster, because of Brother Xiaodong'er's disappearance, he thought of framing me like this, or if he kidnapped Brother Xiaodong to slander me. If it is the latter, Brother Xiaodong is completely affected by me, and I will not have a good conscience if I don't look for an uncle for the rest of my life; If it's the former, I, as the uncle of the head of the family, have my own nephew kidnapped at home, and I can't get rid of it......" Speaking of this, he paused: "To say a frustrating word, if you really fall into the hands of thieves, your family's Zhang'er and Man'er are only young, and their memories are not clear, so they can't escape, but Brother Xiaodong is already fifteen years old......"

Shen Dong not only remembered the age, but also knew the difference between loyalty and treachery because of his reading, if he refused to obey, he was afraid that his life would be difficult to protect; If you are willing to obey, then the person who is found will be useless.

A good patriarch's grandson, a child who has passed the county test and the government test smoothly, another reading seed of the Shen family, this is how it ends, how can Shen Jun, the uncle of the family, not hate?

Going to Nanchang is not so much to find someone as to take revenge. Otherwise, Shen Jun would be uneasy in her heart, and she would not be able to explain to her brother and sister-in-law.

"What is the vassal king over there......" Shen Qi is not optimistic about Shen Jun's impulse, even if it is the imperial court, even if he knows that King Ning is suspicious now, he has to find evidence if he wants to deal with it, not to mention that Shen Jun is just a person, how can he deal with a vassal king's mansion after thousands of miles of travel? It's like hitting a stone with an egg.

Shen Jun smiled and said, "Where did Second Brother Qi go?" I am the most greedy for life and afraid of death, will I still rush over in a daze and shout to kill me? ”

Shen Qi was puzzled: "What do you want to do with Second Brother Jun's past?" ”

Shen Jun lowered his voice and said: "No matter whether you can find evidence of King Ning this time, even if you reveal your whereabouts, it will be difficult for the imperial court to tolerate it, and there will always be a day when you will dispose of Ning Fan." Ning Fan has moved Nanchang Mansion for more than 100 years, and there are more than 100 county king's mansions and general's mansions that have been divided, and they have long regarded Nanchang Mansion as their own back garden, how can they be willing to obey orders honestly. At that time, it is necessary to break the net and make a fuss! ”

Shen Qi disagreed: "If the gentleman doesn't stand up in the court, even if the second brother Jun knows that he is going to be uneasy over there, why should he be in danger?" ”

If there is really a war, even good people will not be able to avoid the disaster of the pond fish, let alone Shen Jun's legs and feet are not good.

Shen Jun's eyes shimmered, and his face could not hide his ambition: "I have lived for more than thirty years, and today I finally understand, a man cannot be without power for a day, it is better to rely on himself than to rely on anyone, if you and my brother have an official body, Zhao Xianzhong will not dare to do this even if he eats the courage of an ambitious leopard...... If I had a talent for reading, I wouldn't have given up halfway, but now I can only take shortcuts......"

This is to do it, and want to take the opportunity to collect King Ning's traces as evidence of his advancement?

Shen Qi was dumbfounded, unlike Shen Jun, who has always been self-motivated, he is really indifferent, but if you think about it carefully, you can also understand Shen Jun's ambition after suffering.

No matter what, after going through the tribulation of life and death, it is always good to have a thought to support it, thinking like this, Shen Qi swallowed back the words of dissuasion.

*

In the spiritual shed in the front yard, Shen Rui sat in the corner eating tea, his face a little tired.

Shen Jin was beside him, and couldn't help but say with concern: "The third brother was not here before, and you should do more, but now that the third brother is back, you should also rest...... After tonight, you're going back to the fourth room to rest, right? ”

As for the sect's side, the temperament of Shen Hai and his wife is really not close to and respectful.

Shen Jin forgot about Fourth Sister Zhang for a while, but Shen Rui remembered and said, "Is it telling someone to urge the teacher, you can't let Fourth Sister Zhang occupy the magpie's nest?" ”

For the sake of Fourth Sister Zhang in the fourth room, even Shen Jin has been resting in the fifth room for the past few days.

Now that Shen Quan is back, Shen Rui can be more brisk, and Shen Jin doesn't seem to have any reason to stay in the fifth room and not go home.

Shen Jin thought of Fourth Sister Zhang and couldn't help frowning.

Changshou hurriedly came in, looking strange, and said, "Second Master, Brother Jin, Master Yuan is here......"
