Coming out of the Dongcheng mansion, Shen Yuan fell silent. Happy? Wen? xs520. com
Shen Rui hesitated, there was one thing that no one wanted to mention to the He family, but when the Xuezheng Lord came over, the case of the third son of the Shen family was officially opened, but it could not be avoided. That is the fact that Shen Ling's body is missing, which is evidence of Zhao Xianzhong's torture and abuse, and it is also the main reason for Shen Ling's suicide. But because it is really difficult to speak, no one has told He so far.
Shen Ling's remains were there, because Shen Rui had mentioned before that when the trial began, the government would come to check on it, and he would not let him move lightly, and He only wiped her husband's face, but did not rewrap it. For a man, it is an unbearable shame to lose his children and grandchildren; For a woman, it is also embarrassing.
Seeing that Shen Rui was only a teenager, but when he didn't let go of his brows after seeing him today, Shen Yuan sighed in his heart and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Rui is worried that the lawsuit is inappropriate?" ”
Shen Rui hesitated for a moment and whispered about the incomplete remains of Shen Ling.
Shen Yuan only arrived in Songjiang today, and when he heard about it for the first time, he felt that his scalp was numb, and his face was pale.
It is not uncommon for illegal detention and torture to death; But such torture is unheard of. Shen Ling is not a commoner, but also a prisoner of the Nanguo Prison, and it is really appalling that she was punished like this. It is no wonder that the Qin Mission, who was ordered to go south to try the case, waited for Xuezheng to come before trying the case, and this trial was no longer the "case of the three sons of the Shen family", but the "case of Zhao Xianzhong, the former prefect of Songjiang, who insulted the scholar to death".
"Zhao Xianzhong should be damned!" Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go back to the fifth room first, go to the Yamen of the Songjiang Prefect!" ”
Although he knew that the Qin messenger from the capital was Wang Shouren and would not shield Zhao Xianzhong, Shen Yuan still couldn't help but be angry, and wanted to go to see Zhao Xianzhong and ask how the Shen family had offended him and punished him with such an insult?
Besides, Zhao Xianzhong is not a fool, when such an insulting thing comes out, his future will be ruined, how can he be so mad?
Shen Rui knew that the key was not in Zhao Xianzhong, and said that Yan Juren was a staff member, that is, the matter of King Ning, Shen Rui did not hide it, and whispered, hearing Shen Yuan tighten his eyebrows.
When the uncle and nephew arrived at the prefect's yamen, they met Wang Shouren, the deputy envoy Zhang Yong, and the acting prefect Dong Qihe. Although the officials of the Shen family should be recused, because it was not the time for the formal trial, it was not unruly for the officials who returned to Shen Yuan's hometown to come to inquire about one or two during the holiday.
Shen Yuan was born in Hanlin, and taught in the inner study in his early years, and also met with his minister Zhang Yong. Wang Shouren here, needless to say, has long been a good family. Even here in Dong Qihe, there is also an uncle who is Lao Hanlin and can talk a few words. This is the benefit of living in the capital for a long time.
Because it involves the vassal king, if there is no "Zhao Xianzhong framed" that was tried before, the Shen family will have a big deal. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Ling's death was really unjust, and there was a grudge between Yan Juren and the Shen family's four rooms, the Shen family's Tongyu case was obviously suspected of false accusation, and the "Tongwei case" became a "rebellious" case, which was a major crime of the Nine Clans. What if the evidence is insufficient? is suspected of being involved in fornicating with the vassal king, and the future of the descendants of the Shen family is almost the same.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because there is a precedent of the "Battle of Jingjing", the vassal kings who secretly plotted against the great treasure are not one or two, and the imperial court has increasingly supervised the vassal kings. Even in the Hongzhi Dynasty, where the first emperor was located, the Hongzhi Emperor was always concerned with "benevolence, love and tolerance", but there was still a cabinet, and the supervision of the vassal kings was never relaxed. It's just that the imperial court focused its monitoring on the few princes stationed on the nine sides, and no one thought that the Ning Domain, which had been moved to the mainland for a hundred years, would have this idea after having no minions.
Although Shen Yuan has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, his appearance and bearing are here. In addition, in the past few years, he has been the chief official in Nanjing Guozijian, and there is no lack of official authority. Dong Qihe met him for the first time, and he couldn't help but admire the Shen family's talent. Although this second room and two old men are now working in Nanjing, after all, he was born in Hanlin, and there are still more than ten years before he is old, who knows when he will return to Beijing. The Shen family's sons and nephews have a lot of money, and their in-laws are also powerful, so they will turn over if they can't say it.
Thinking like this in his heart, Dong Qihe became more and more polite.
Shen Yuan also got accurate news here. After the Jinyi guard dispatched in the past few days, Yan Juren secretly instructed people to frame the third son of the Shen family, and the witness evidence has also been obtained, and now he is waiting for Xuezheng to come over and formally try the case.
Estimating the days, it's not a few days.
Shen Yuan's heart settled for a moment, hesitated for a moment, got up to say goodbye, and left with Shen Rui.
For the rest, the Shen family can only wait.
Yan Juren refused to admit his guilt, and the witnesses he caught could only prove that the He family had colluded with Yan Juren, and he paid special attention to the Shen family, and the Shen family's suspicion was not clear. Shen Yuan wanted to meet Shen Li, and then find a way to find witness evidence. As for Shen Yuan's hesitation, it was Shen Ling's body that was mutilated, and the rights and wrongs needed to be concealed.
Just now, Shen Ling came directly after the sacrifice, and he was sad and angry, thinking about whether he could hide this matter, but after calming down, Shen Yuan knew that it was not appropriate. Concealing Shen Ling's matter, the former prefect Zhao Xianzhong's guilt will be lighter, the torture of the third son of the Shen family will be weakened, and Yan Juren's false accusation will become a double matter. The first Qin to send is Wang Shouren, who will not wronged the Shen family, and will try the case fairly, and there is nothing to worry about. But even if the case is tried and sent to the capital, now that the new emperor has just registered, several cabinet elders are playing, if someone takes advantage of the problem to play, it is impossible to say that the case will be reversed.
Whether it is collusion with the Japanese or the vassal king, the Shen family must not be suspicious at all, otherwise the future of the Shen family's children in the officialdom will come to an end.
Shen Rui followed Shen Yuan's side, although he didn't know Shen Yuan's change in thoughts, he could also detect Shen Yuan's hesitation. It's just that the two are called uncles and nephews, and in fact, they have limited time together and don't know each other very well, so he suppressed his curiosity.
At the gate of the prefect's yamen, in addition to Shen Yuan's previous carriage, there were also two carriages parked.
Shen Hai and Shen Li came, and both of them came to pick up people.
The second room of the Shen family does not have a house in Songjiang, and a house in Shen Rui's name was also lent to the He family. Shen Rui is close to the fifth room, and he is a junior, so he can borrow the fifth room. Shen Yuan is a small uncle of the clan, and his uncle and sister-in-law are different, so it is not good to live in five rooms.
Shen Hai is the head of a clan, and he has always loved to hold a stand in front of the clan, but now he is very polite. After two months of suffering, he also got down to earth and didn't dare to put up any more shelves. He saw it, and what happened to the Shen family in the future depended on Shen Li and Shen Jin. is that Shen Ying of the fifth room has the resume of the James Mansion, and she is the new emperor's descendant, and her future in the future cannot be wrong. His eldest son learned the mean, and now he has just arrived at the prefect, and he has to endure it. The most outstanding of the younger generation is the eldest grandson Xiaodong's brother, if it hadn't been plundered, there would have been a young talent in the long house, and he would be the real successor, and now there is no need to say anything.
Now that the Zongfang is weak, there is a gap with the fifth room, and the old wife is still slow to treat Shen Rui, so she offends Shen Li, even the fourth room Shen Jin is far away from the Zongfang, seeing that there is no one to rely on, Shen Hai is also worried.
Knowing that Shen Yuan in the second room had arrived in Songjiang, Shen Hai took the initiative to come and pick him up, thinking that he would take Shen Rui back and ease the relationship with Shen Li.
Although Shen Li was dissatisfied with the He family's mistreatment of Shen Rui, he had no intention of competing with the sect. It was really when he first arrived in the capital in his early years, he was taken care of a lot by the second room, and he knew that Shen Yuan was not familiar with other clansmen, so he came to greet him when he got the news. Even if it was mostly Shen Cang and his wife who took care of Shen Li at the beginning, Shen Yuan, the clan uncle, also mentioned a lot before the spring, and Shen Li always remembered this feeling.
Both of them came to pick up people, which was a little embarrassing. Shen Hai knew that Shen Li had a close relationship with the second room, and if Shen Li insisted, he was afraid that he would not be able to receive anyone, so he took the six-room house for a long time and invited Shen Li to return to the sect room. Shen Li mentioned He's illness and Shen Jun's injury, and politely rejected Shen Hai's kindness.
Shen Hai is an elder in the end, even if he knows in his heart that he will rely on Shen Li to protect the Shen family in the future, he still inevitably leaves his face.
Seeing Shen Yuan and Shen Rui come out, Shen Hai's face was better, and without waiting for Shen Li to speak, he preemptively greeted him, and also invited Shen Yuan to go to the sect room to catch Shen Yuan.
Although the relationship is not close, but in the end, it is the patriarch and the clan brothers, and Shen Yuan is also quite appreciative of Shen Hai's initiative. The Shen family's case is related to the Shen family, and this is also the time to work together. The last time Shen Yuanwaifang passed by Songjiang, he was also a guest house, so this time he agreed to come down. Even if he was dissatisfied with the placement of Shen Rui and Xiao He, Shen Yuan had no intention of caring at this time.
No matter what happens inside the Shen family, it is a Shen family to the outside, and it is not good to be entangled at the door of the prefect's yamen, so as not to be seen as a joke.
Shen Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, and "Love House and Wu" was also a little enthusiastic about Shen Rui, beckoning a few people to go to the sect room. Shen Li saw that Shen Yuan's expression was faint, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew his intentions, so he also followed to the sect's room.
Although Shen Jun injured his leg, he knew that Shen Yuan, Shen Li and others were here, and they also asked someone to help them out to meet him. Shen Yuan returned to Songjiang and saw this nephew, knowing that he was a sleek man, a little frivolous, but now he was introverted and had more city government. But in the end, there is only one life left, which is already lucky compared to Shen Ling.
He was sick, and Shen Yuan didn't bring his inner family, so he didn't need to visit him. It's just that the front yard is entertaining, and the back kitchen is rarely busy, and He also got the news in the inner house.
Hearing that the second master of the second room had arrived, Shen Li, the champion father, also came over, and He couldn't drink it with a soup bowl: "It's all here, is this a case to be tried?" ”
He muttered to himself, remembering his mother's side, he was confused for a while, struggled to get up, and beckoned the maid to change his clothes.
The maid thought that she was going to the front to entertain the guests and persuade her, so she listened to He's low command: "Ask someone to quietly prepare a carriage, and I will go back to He's house......"
The Shen family can't bear this charge of "complication", and neither can the He family. Otherwise, it will affect the future of my cousin's career, and the entire He family will not be able to keep it. The Shen family does not have a Jingtang, but there are two champions, if the He family falls, it will really be defeated.
