My brother was disabled, with such a serious consequence, it would be a lie to say that Shen Quan did not resent Shen Yuan in his heart. However, because he knew a lot, Shen Quan also knew in his heart that the Shen family's lawsuit involved all sides.

A loss may turn out to be a gain?

The news that Shen Qi's wife and children were kidnapped, and that he was blackmailed by the "Japanese robbers" has spread. If it's just a widow, and there is no clear evidence, it's not deadly; Even if it involves the vassal king, as long as there is the slightest suspicion, it can affect the family. Shen Jun blamed the disappearance of his nephew on Second Master He, and said that his nephew, who did not know his life and death, was dead in vain, and he insisted on biting it, also because he thought of this.

Now the lawsuit seems to be over, but the troubles brought to the Shen family are still in the future.

The best choice for Wufang is to send someone out to find Shen Qi's wife and children, and then report the "funeral letter" back, and then go to the funeral to send a funeral, which is the real solution to the trouble. Otherwise, the eldest grandson of the Shen family can be a hostage, and the daughter-in-law and grandchildren of the fifth room of the Shen family can also be a hostage.

It's just that the sect can make this decision, but the five rooms care about their flesh and blood, and no one wants to make this ruthless move.

In the case of wanting to protect Qi's second grandmother, mother and son, Shen Qi's disability has also become a kind of protection. Although the matter of the vassal king has not been made public now, since there are several pieces of evidence pointing to King Ning, the court will always investigate thoroughly. At that time, even if it was found that Qi's second grandmother and mother and son were deeply trapped in the den of thieves, it could not be said that Shen Qi, a person with no future, was "taking his wife and children as a hostage and making a room for the vassal king". After all, everyone knows that a disabled person cannot be an official.

All of the above, coupled with the love of the clan brothers, made Shen Quan not only not angry with Shen Rui and Shen Jin, but also worried about the two.

Although the Shen family's lawsuit only involves the clan, the third room, and the fifth room, after all, they are living together in a clan, and they are both prosperous.

Before, the clansmen doubted whether the "third son of the Shen family" was really innocent, and they would also wonder if the He family was framing, but no one would have thought that this unwarranted disaster was actually the antecedent cause of the destruction of relatives in the fourth room. Now that they know, the anger of the few clansmen has also been vented. Shen Rui, the biological son of Shen Rui, has less influence, and Shen Jin, the eldest son and the party involved in the family affairs, is rarely talked about.

Shen Rui thought for a while: "When people do something wrong, they must always be responsible; After all, the four-room master is an elder, father and son, and he can't be 'sick' all the time. Let the world know his confusion, which is also a good thing for Brother Jin. ”

To know that the Shen family has always been from the scholarly family, in order to restrain the virtue of the children, there are also one by one clan law and family rules, Shen Yuan treacherously ruined his relatives for no reason, not only damaged the reputation of the Shen family, but also caused trouble to the Shen family.

Shen Yuan wants to use his identity as the champion father to be powerful in Songjiang, but I'm afraid he can't.

When Shen Quan heard this, he also thought of this, and felt a little happy. Shen Jin is a son after all, and there was a lawsuit to intimidate Shen Yuan before, so that Shen Yuan was honestly grounded; But Shen Jin always has to go back to Beijing, and he can't lock Shen Yuan up for the rest of his life, only the clan law and family rules can bind him. But to deal with Shen Yuan, it is really unpleasant to count on the master of the sect.

Shen Quanshi was reluctant to deal with the sect, and remembered that Shen Rui had mentioned the patriarch's alienation before, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

*

In the sect room, Shen Hai didn't know that his patriarch's position was unstable, so he angrily reprimanded his son: "With Shen Li and Shen Jin beside you, and Shen Qi here, where will it be your turn to be the first bird?" You bit the He family to death, except for angering Master He, there is no benefit at all, confused! ”

Finally, Shen He was clear and did not use his relatives anymore.

Shen Jun smiled bitterly: "Haven't you seen it yet?" Qin Cha allowed the Shen family to sit in the hall, but there was no position for you, the head of the family, and the second master of Yuan, Sixth Brother Li, and Brother Jin had no intention of letting go. ”

Shen Hai said with a straight face: "They are the official masters, which tablet am I in?" ”

Such a tone is obviously also dissatisfied with the attendance of the hall. Although Shen Hai is not out of office, he is not in vain, and he has a false position to donate. If Shen Yuan and a few people proposed it, Shen Hai's seat would not be overstepping. In the same way, Mrs. He also has an edict, and if someone proposes it, she can also sit in her seat to listen to the trial.

Mrs. He's side is because there is no one in the He family, and no one is qualified to mention this matter to Qincha; Shen Hai here, the three people who are qualified to mention do not speak.

The brothers and nephews of the clan are all in the hall, but they can only listen to the people on crutches, Shen Hai now thinks about it, and he still feels that his face is hot, and he has to complain about those few people.

Seeing that the old father couldn't hear the point, Shen Jun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hasn't Dad seen it yet?" I'm afraid that the position of the patriarch is going to change. ”

When Shen Hai heard this, he raised his head sharply and said angrily: "I'm not dead yet, do you want to be on top?" What a little rabbit cub, others spoil me, and it is not your turn to spoil me as a son! As he spoke, he looked at his son with a knife.

With clan power in hand, it's one thing to be too lazy to take care of clan affairs, and let your son take care of it; Forced abdication is another matter.

Shen Jun really couldn't cry or laugh: "Who said that the position of the patriarch can only be inherited in the clan?" ”

"But we are the clan family, the bloodline!" Shen Hai stood up, his face full of excitement.

Isn't it natural to be in charge of family sacrifices?

Shen Jun said lightly: "The clan rules do not say that the patriarch is only passed in the sect room, and there are other heads of the house who have taken the position of patriarch in the past. ”

Shen Hai said angrily: "How dare they? How dare they?! What is a second room? If it weren't for the grandfather's tolerance back then, the old lady in the second room should have been removed from the list for his disobedience; There is also Shen Li, a posthumous son of the outer nine rooms, without family support, who can be admitted to the top prize; There is also the white-eyed wolf of Shen Jin, a concubine, if it wasn't for the tolerance of the grandfather back then, how could he be allowed to register his name in the name of his mother-in-law! Now it's not a good thing to rob while it's hot, one by one! ”

Thinking of the decline of his reputation these days, and the various dissenting and unwelcome of the clansmen, Shen Hai couldn't help but conspire.

Shen Jun was already stunned, he had just heard of these things before. Among the clansmen, the clan has always acted as an arbiter and regulator, and rarely directly intervenes in the household affairs of each house. If you really want to talk about it, the sect is not without faults.

Shen Jun did not experience the past more than 50 years ago, but he also knew the cause and effect. In that year, the second room steproom murdered the son of the original match, causing the eldest son of the second room to be killed and the second son to fall into the sea. But when the third son found evidence and accused his stepmother, he was reconciled by the sect and made the third son leave the capital. Although the old lady in the second room divorced his wife before he died, and did not recognize the son conceived by the steproom, the rift has already formed. The second room and the third son of the year, who was later the second room master, never returned to his hometown in his life, and he never thought about returning to his roots when he died, and set up another blessed land in the capital. If it weren't for the relationship between the Sun family and Shen Rui's mother and son, I am afraid that the second room in the capital would not have been in contact with Songjiang for the rest of his life.

More than thirty years ago, Shen Li's childhood tribulations were really just caused by the greed of the old lady of the ninth room? If the clan can treat orphans and widows fairly, instead of turning a blind eye and letting the old lady of the ninth room rely on the old and sell the old, how could Shen Li, as a descendant of the ninth house, have no family heirloom and even have to be taken care of by the aunt of the Sun family?

A few years ago, Shen Jin recorded his name at Sun's funeral, and the sect's position was fair? calculates the inheritance of the Sun family, and has the second master Shen Jiang of the clan; Ignoring Shen Yuan's favored concubine and killing his wife and treating his son-in-law slowly, it was the upper and lower members of the clan. Even if the master of Zongfang was old and couldn't take care of it for a while, what about Shen Hai and Shen Jun's father and son? At that time, one of the two was the son of the sect, and the other had been taking care of the housework for his father for more than ten years, and the two of them were not ignorant of the family affairs of the fourth room, but the deceased had passed away and watched coldly.

Thinking of this, Shen Jun immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Is this a clansman or an enemy? People are not sages, these clansmen have always been lukewarm to the sect, do they always remember the grievances of the past?

It is said that "a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there will be a mistake; A fool thinks a thousand times, and there must be one", Shen Jun pondered, but Shen Hai was clear for a while, patted his head and said: "No, no!" They are all Jing officials, and there is no need to calculate the position of the patriarch. There is no one in the second room in Songjiang for a long time, and Shen Jin in the fourth room will not rest assured that he will leave his boss in Songjiang; In the ninth room, it is good for Shen Li not to clean up the old lady, how can he take the position of patriarch for them? The one who can take the position of patriarch...... There are several other rooms that can sit in the position of patriarch, the six rooms are thin, the seven and eight rooms are poor, and the three rooms are rotten from the roots, so there are only five rooms left, and they can only be five rooms! ”

It's just that Shen Yuan, Shen Li, and Shen Jin are all good friends with Wufang.

"One by one! Hmph, it's not because Shen Ying is a former subordinate of the emperor's East Palace, and she has a good future, this is deliberately stepping on the sect's house to support the five rooms, how can this be reasonable! How can this be true, doesn't your eldest brother have a good future? Your eldest brother is already the prefect, and Shen Yingke has just died of Lao Tzu, and he will be filial piety for three years, and he doesn't know what the situation will be when he recovers! He said hard words in his mouth, but Shen Hai couldn't help but be apprehensive.

Shen Ying is similar to his eldest son, but one is a Beijing official and the other is a magistrate, where is the comparison? Shen Ying stood up after the old age, was born in the Hanlin Academy, and had a resume in the East Palace; Shen Cheng is already over the age and is not confused, from the Liubu Lang official to the local prefect, the two brothers are more than ten years apart, and it is clear which one has a better future.

If Shen Hai chooses it himself, he will also choose to burn Shen Ying's hot stove.

Shen Hai has always been lazy, but he is not willing to really raise the position of patriarch to others. No matter how the clan rules are set, the position of the patriarch is inherited in the clan room, and Shen Hai has long taken it for granted that he is his own property.

All of a sudden, Shen Hai was full of fighting spirit: "Hmph, the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, I have always been good-tempered, but if they treat me as a bun, they will be blind!" Want to calculate me, do you really think you don't have pigtails? Shen Yuan now looks sanctimonious, but it is actually not a good thing, he ruined his relatives and married him again, and he was angry with his relatives. The Sun family, who married far away, is not Xu's cousin at all, or the child daughter-in-law who had a marriage contract back then! There is also Shen Li, who married the daughter of the elder of the pavilion, like a son-in-law, but in his early years, he raised an outer room innocently; As for Shen Jin's sin, what is the champion of Jinke? disobedience and unfilial piety, the matter of house arrest of his biological father is poked out, his future will be ruined, and he dares to help Wufang grab the position of patriarch......"
