Chapter 505: Touching the Melons (5)

When Shen Rui and his party returned to the Hongyun Inn, Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren saw such a Shen Zhu who was almost broken down due to self-blame and guilt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Yong felt that this young man was a few years older than Shen Rui, but he was so irresponsible, he couldn't help but despise a little, but he didn't expect the other party to lie. After all, he grew up in the court, and he has never seen anything pretending to be a ghost, Shen Zhu's crying is really crying, guilt is really guilty, his eyes are dull, his eyes are dark, and he looks like he has been tortured by guilt for many days, and he has trouble sleeping and eating, and there is no trace of fraud.

Zhang Yongshao had no choice but to appease Shen Zhu with soft words, calm Shen Zhu down, and asked how Shen Zhu met King Ning and his entourage, and how he praised the Shen family because of the other party's domineering attendants.

Because of Shen Rui's "brainwashing" before, Shen Zhu's oral statement became that the other party heard that he was a child of the Shen family and took the initiative to invite, and said that the other party wanted to accept himself and promised to fight for the position of patriarch for himself, saying that the other party was quite interested in Songjiang Mansion and asked a lot. He changed from actively boasting about the wealth of Songjiang to King Ning's inquiry and peeping into Songjiang Mansion.

Zhang Yong asked King Ning and his entourage about their appearance, Shen Zhu and King Ning were on the same boat for a month, and they were regarded as "nobles", so they were naturally imprinted in their minds and answered them one by one. Zhang Yong had seen King Ning a few years ago, and this appearance was just in line with Shen Zhu's words.

Shen Rui's words are the first evidence, and the two "bandit" corpses of Master Lu are the second evidence, plus Shen Zhu has personally witnessed King Ning and heard King Ning's investigation of Songjiang Mansion with his own ears, after three pieces of evidence, Zhang Yong has already made a decision in his heart.

Zhang Yong waved his hand at Shen Rui, signaled Shen Rui to take Shen Zhu down, and said to Wang Shouren: "The Songjiang prefect and the Songjiang Thousand Households Office are not available. I don't know how far they were co-opted by King Ning, in order to prevent them from jumping off the wall in a hurry, they should still transfer troops from Suzhou Mansion. ”

This is naturally not the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen or the Suzhou Thousand Households, but the Suzhou Weaving Mansion. Suzhou Manufacturing Mansion, subordinate to the Great Inner Manufacturing Bureau, palm prints are internal officials sent down by the capital.

Just listen to Zhang Yongdao: "Suzhou weaving Gao Nianen is the adopted son of the master of ceremonies and the grandfather of Gao, and he is also an old acquaintance with the miscellaneous family. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that it will hinder the official reputation of Lord Wang. ”

Gao Yong is the master of ceremonies, the first person in the palace, entered the palace during the Jingtai period, went through the four dynasties of Emperor Jingtai, Yingzong, Xianzong, and Xiaozong, and has been an old man in the five dynasties, and his disciples and grandchildren are all over the court and the opposition. Hongzhi has served as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch for the eleventh year, but because he is old, he will be seventy people, so now he is not as active as the old people in the East Palace next to the new emperor in Beijing.

It seems that with Zhao Xianzhong's "lesson from the past", Zhang Yong also lost trust in the Suzhou prefect, but believed in the ministers more. After all, the internal officials sent to the local government are inextricably linked with the capital palace, and they have no family ties, but are more loyal to the emperor.

As for those sour and rotten civil officials, now that they have entered the official career, which one has not cut their heads and climbed up? For the sake of fame, one by one on the bright side put on the appearance of contempt for the eunuchs, for fear that they would be filthy as soon as they were contaminated; Behind the scenes, there are not one or two who take refuge in the internal officials.

Although he felt that Zhao Xianzhong would not dare to "intercept and kill Qincha", but since Zhang Yong took the initiative to contact people just in case, he had nothing to object, so he said: "Gonggong Zhang thinks too much, Songjiang Mansion is full of ghosts and ghosts now, and it is a safe and thoughtful way for Gonggong to think carefully." ”

Otherwise, even if it wasn't Zhao Xianzhong, it was King Ning who arranged someone to pretend to be Zhao Xianzhong, and it would be a great danger to Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong, who only brought dozens of brocade guards down.

Zhang Yongren was very skilled, knowing that he was doing this as a deputy envoy, and he decided to do it more and more, so he didn't want to trouble Wang Shouren, so he said: "Before the miscellaneous family left Beijing, they brought a small seal, and it was cheaper to use the weaving yamen manpower, or the miscellaneous family to send a letter. ”

Wang Shouren was not a person who shirked his responsibility, shook his head and said: "No, it is taboo to transfer troops privately." The lower official has a holy decree here, and he is ordered to come down to investigate the case, and he can order the local government to assist, or when I am jointly with my father-in-law. ”

Zhang Yong had no choice but to join hands with Wang Shouren and write a letter to Suzhou Weaving Gao Nianen, asking him to transfer the soldiers of the weaving government to Songjiang to help investigate the case.

After sealing the watermark, Zhang Yong called a brocade guard and asked him to take a few people to Suzhou to weave the yamen.

Suzhou Mansion is two hundred miles away from Songjiang Mansion, and it can be reached in half a day. If nothing else, Gao Nianen will bring troops to help tomorrow, thinking of this, Zhang Yong's heart is steady.

A few Jinyi guards left the Hongyun Inn, and did not go to the horse market to buy horses, but went directly out of the city to the official post, showed the sign, took a few fast horses, and went all the way to Suzhou Mansion along the official road. Since the founding of Jinyiwei, there has been a rule that the deputy of the local official post is the outsider of the Jinyiwei, so if the Jinyiwei wants to mobilize people and horses, the most convenient thing is the official post.

The two people who were following looked at each other, and did not dare to inquire into the post station, so they went around to the post station stable, took out a piece of broken silver, and stuffed it into the stable, asking about the news of the previous people.

The stableman took a bite of the broken silver, gritted out the tooth marks, and then carefully stuffed it into his arms, looked at the two of them, and said vaguely: "My lord won't let me say ......."

This is in the backyard of the official post, the two of them are afraid of making a noise, they dare not be tough, so they can only take another piece of broken silver out, and the horse stable whispered: "Although the villain doesn't know who those masters are, I heard the official dialect from the north, and our adults and Lord Ning personally accompanied us, and picked the best ten fast horses in the post station." ”

The adult in the horse stable's mouth is naturally a post officer, but as for Lord Ning, the two people don't know, and they want to continue to interrogate. The stableman was clever enough to go back to fetch water under the pretext of going back to the inn.

The two waited for a while, but did not see the stableman come out again, and had no choice but to return to the city to resume their lives.

Yan Juren is in the royal mansion in the back street of the prefect's yamen at the moment, and when it comes to being well-informed, he is more well-informed here than Zhao Xianzhong. Zhao Xianzhong didn't expect that the Qincha would not set up the Qincha honor guard, so he only asked people to stare at the dock, and the dock was not moving, so he had nothing to worry about.

Yan Juren's side, but he spilled his hands to stare at the major families in Songjiang, and he discovered the abnormality of today's Hongyun Inn.

The scribe who brought a sturdy guard to stay overnight, and then called someone to pick up Shen Rui at Shen's house, and then the shopkeeper of the Hongyun Inn returned to Lu's house, and finally the head of the Lu family came and hurried away with two large boxes.

If he still notices that something is wrong, then he is not Yan Juren, who claims to be the number one thinker in the Ning Palace. He wanted the possibility of Qincha's "micro-service private interview", and he also saw the Shen family before asking about the case, which seemed to explain something. This group of people who are suspected of being on a mission to Qincha, when they arrived in Songjiang, are the same as the people in the fourth and fifth rooms of the Shen family, are they going out of Beijing together?

Although this Shen Rui is just a young talent who has not yet reached the crown, there is a Shangshu Mansion behind him. The second room of the Shen family has been in Beijing for decades, and the two generations of his father and ancestors have done it in Beijing, and he has his own in-laws and old friends in Beijing.

Yan Juren felt that things were going to get out of control, and he was a little uneasy.

Zhang's face was worried, but he couldn't help but be complacent in his heart. Fortunately, she arranged for people to spread rumors about the Shen family in the market in advance, and it would be difficult to move if she took a step at night.

Even if the Qin Cha who came to the Shen family is an old acquaintance, the Zhang family is not worried, you must know that this kind of case is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. In the face of the prospect of promotion and fortune, a little personal relationship is nothing.

The so-called human affection and morality between men should see who is beneficial to the end, and when there is self-interest, there is human affection and morality; When it is not good for him, men turn their faces faster than women.

The two people who were watching hurriedly came over and replied truthfully, Yan Juren's expression was solemn. He came to Songjiang for more than half a year, and naturally understood the distribution of forces inside and outside Songjiang.

The official post officer is nothing, but the deputy Lord Ning is a direct Jinyiwei faction, and he is subordinate to the Jinyiwei of Nanzhili. can make Jinyiwei take the initiative to show goodwill, either his status is higher than Jinyiwei, or he is also a Jinyiwei.

Are those two really chincha? They had only been in Songjiang for most of the day, and they found out something, so they couldn't wait to send someone to send the letter out? Was the letter sent to the capital, or to Nanjing? Yan Juren clenched his fists, a little flustered in his heart.

No matter what, I can't let the two Qincha check it at will like this, Yan Juren waved his hand and sent the two people down, and explained to the Zhang family: "These two **** are not good to come over again, you can help me remember any news outside, if it is really urgent, send someone to the prefect's yamen to find me, don't delay." ”

Zhang Shi pulled Yan Juren's arm and said with a little reluctance: "It's almost August, and it's cold at night in the slave family." ”

Yan Juren really didn't have the intention of stealing incense and stealing jade, so he let go of Zhang's waist upstairs for a while, and said casually: "When the master is busy for a while, I will come to warm the bed for grandma......"

Zhang's is not very old, but he has been rolling in the wind and dust for a few years, where can he not hear a lie, he sneered in his heart, and still made a tender and sweet gesture, personally sent Yan Juren out, and saw Yan Ju's figure disappear at the interface before turning around.

Zhang did not go to the main room, but to the wing room.

In the wing, it was the two who were in charge of keeping an eye outside the Hongyun Inn before, and they did not leave, but stayed to listen to Zhang's orders.

Zhang's was not stingy, he took out the silver ingot first, five taels per person, and then ordered: "Master Yan ordered, put it on the inn first, and stared at the fourth room of the Shen family first, didn't I hear that Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan was back......"

Because on weekdays, it was mostly the Zhang family who helped Yan Juren spread the word, and the two did not suspect him, took the silver, and took the order.

Shen Jin ...... Hmph, see how long you can be beautiful......" Zhang gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, and the hatred in his eyes spurted out, but he didn't know when his eyes turned red, and tears fell drop by drop.

In the Shen family's sect, Shen Hai and Shen Li met Shen Zhu after being "brainwashed" by Shen Rui. Shen Zhu was still remorseful and full of self-blame, because his voice was hoarse when he cried, and he was no longer plain and elegant, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

Shen Li knew the antecedents, and although his face did not change, he was surprised in his heart.

Shen Hai had long known from Shen Li that the "inner ghost" of the Shen family was Shen Zhu, his son and grandson were uncertain about life and death, and he had already hated Shen Zhu to death. Who is acting like this? That's a few lives, don't think that you can escape the crime by crying a few times, the country can't rule you, and there is still the ...... of clan law"

Seeing that Shen Hai was about to bring out the clan rules and family rules, what if Shen Zhu was forced to the extreme, and then made him turn back? Shen Rui hurriedly said: "Uncle Hai, Lord Qincha has seen Brother Zhu Jiu, and I am afraid that I will ask Brother Zhu Jiu in the future." Second Brother Jun and they are still in the prefect's prison, if there is anything, wait for them to come out. ”

Shen Haiqiang held back his anger, and his chest was bulging with anger.

Shen Rui ordered someone to take Shen Zhu down, Shen Li was curious, waiting to ask Shen Rui, so he asked Shen Hai to go back to dissipate his anger.

When Shen Hai left, without waiting for Shen Li to speak, Shen Rui honestly explained the matter of the "little black house".

Shen Li listened, thoughtfully, and asked someone to call Zhai Jinshan and give an order.

Even if it is not easy to use the "little black house" in the sect now, the "brainwashing" thing has to continue. Shen Zhu is paranoid, and he will repay him, a crazy Shen Zhu is better than a sober Shen Zhu. Otherwise, who knows what kind of sobriety he is, and bites the Shen family back.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't object to it, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Shen Li saw it in his eyes and knew that this clan brother was really kind-hearted, but there were some things that had to be done, otherwise it would only lead to endless troubles......
