Until Songjiang got off the boat, the "nobleman" not only gave Shen Zhu a Duan inkstone and an ancient painting, but also came to Songjiang in person to witness the wealth of the Shen family in Songjiang. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Songjiang Liangtian, and one-third out of ten belongs to the Shen family, which is such a huge number; and the shops in Songjiang Prefecture and County also belong to the Shen family. It is only because the Shen family has studied the heirloom that there has been an endless stream of scholars for more than 100 years, so that they can protect the family, avoid the greed and prying eyes of outsiders, and become the head snake entrenched in Songjiang.

That noble man was only twenty-five or six years old, his actions were noble, his appearance was extraordinary, and he was carrying a beautiful maid of the guards, and he was full of colors, Shen Zhu already had speculation in his heart, and he became more and more flattering.

After the nobleman learned about it, he didn't directly mention how the Shen family was, but just hugged Shen Zhu upset. The nobles said that the children of the Shen family were blessed, and Shen Zhu was also born as a prodigy, and he shot the first bird, so he would be feared and suppressed by the clansmen, and he would not be smooth in his career. The noble man also mentioned that the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination last year was not a bystander, it was Shen Li's house master back then, and he couldn't say that Shen Li's signal would make Shen Zhu fall off the list.

After half a year, Shen Zhu has long forgotten his anxiety and disobedience when he should be lifted, and the rest is the depression that Huai Cai has never encountered. After listening to the words of the nobleman, the more I pondered it, the more I meant it. Even Shen Quan, who has dull qualifications, has passed the township test, and there is no reason why he, a "prodigy" who was praised by the Mengshi clan when he was a child, fell into the ranks.

The nobleman said that the current patriarch of the Shen family was incompetent, so that the houses were scattered, and capable people were needed to integrate. Shen Zhu substituted for himself, feeling that he was not only like the patriarch of the year, but also proud to be the head of a clan. In that case, whether it is Shen Li, Shen Jin, or Shen Rui, Shen Quan and others, they all have to be polite, if they really want to provoke themselves, they will be expelled from the clan and let them have no place to stay.

It's just that Shen Zhu is not stupid, and he has to find out the identity of the nobleman inside and out, but the nobleman is just becoming more and more unfathomable, and he has never let Shen Zhu probe to the end. When the nobleman left, he hinted that he would support Shen Zhu as the head of the Shen family, but Shen Zhu was a little sober, a little less eager, and fooled people after treating the other party as the other party. I don't want to have Fujian merchants come to Songjiang later, and they will bring the tokens of the nobles, and Shen Zhu's opportunity has come.

Speaking of this, Shen Zhu was already crying: "I didn't know that they were going to kill people, since they were pulling the He family, I just thought they had other plans, they wanted to pull the Shen family into the water, in order to blackmail the six clan brothers, but I didn't expect that they were widows, and they would enter the city to loot." It's the He family, it's all the He family......"

Two months later, Shen Zhu had already pondered the taste. Because he has his own internal response, now the suspicion of "Tongwa" is firmly detained on the head of the Shen family, and the catastrophe of the Shen family is just around the corner. Without the Shen family, he would be the patriarch, but he would be just a false name. On the contrary, it was the He family, holding such a handle as the Shen family, who had already bought off the Zhao Governor's Mansion, waiting to annex the Shen family's property and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Shen Zhu regretted it, but there was no room for remorse, so he could only tremble. Because the master of the ninth room knows some fur, he is also afraid that he will be pushed out these days, so he will pay attention to the ninth room, and know that when the master of the ninth room goes out, he will take someone to intercept it.

Shen Zhu cried embarrassedly, but Shen Rui suddenly heard it and fell into deep thought.

Shen Zhu was born in the Shen family and grew up in the Shen family, even if the third room is just a businessman, but the food and clothing are all gentry. can suppress Shen Zhu in terms of momentum, and is recognized as a "noble" by Shen Zhu, which is definitely not an ordinary person. Of course, being able to loot the city in the name of the Japanese is not done by ordinary people. Born in the south of the Yangtze River, there is really a "nobleman" who has left a mark in history, and it is none other than Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning.

The first king of Ning Fan is Zhu Quan, the king of Ningxian, the sixteenth son of Emperor Taizu, who became a feudal lord at the age of sixteen and was named King Ning. In the Battle of Houjing, Emperor Chengzu coerced and lured King Ning to join forces with "dividing the river and ruling the world equally", not wanting to wait until Emperor Chengzu won the country, not only did not exchange the promise, but also moved King Ning's domain from Daning to Nanchang and seized all the military power.

Because of this origin, several generations of Ning kings are unhappy, and when the fourth generation of Ning King Zhu Chenhao, his ambitions continued to swell, first he bought Liu Jin next to Emperor Zhengde, restored the guards of King Ning's family that had been laid off, and later because Emperor Zhengde had no children, he sent his son to Beijing to seek the position of heir; In the end, after failing to get it, he directly pulled the anti-flag.

Calculate the time, now is the time when Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has been on the throne for several years, the domain is stable, and his ambitions are beginning to appear, and he wants to restore the protection of the vassal king.

The time when King Ning and Shen Zhu met coincided with the time when the vassal kings took turns to enter Beijing for pilgrimage.

Although Shen Rui had no evidence, he felt that it was him nine times out of ten.

Shen Zhu went from one horn to another, I don't know whether to "wake up" or "atone for his crimes", and said: "Brother Rui, tell the six clan brothers that this is the conspiracy of the He family." Since the death of the eldest uncle in the second room, the He family thought that the official position of the Shen family was not as good as the He family, so they began to peep into the Shen family's industry, otherwise they would not have used the signboard of the four-room uncle to embezzle the third-room property, but they were not greedy enough and wanted to wipe out the Shen family. That big liar, from the capital to Songjiang, must also be from the He family! ”

How much he looked forward to the "nobleman" at the beginning, how resentful Shen Zhu is now.

Shen Rui didn't think that the He family would take the risk and make friends with a vassal king thousands of miles away. "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest", although it is indeed the He family who came forward with Shen Zhu to intercept and kill the master of the ninth room, but it may not be the person of the acting patriarch He Xisheng. This time, the "Japanese robbers" went ashore to plunder, and the Shen family suffered a lot of losses, but the He family was not spared.

Whether it is He Dongsheng, the eldest lord of the He family, or He Xisheng, the second lord, Shen Rui has seen it, and they are all sleek and sophisticated people, even if he wants to expand the power of the He family, He Xisheng is also a roundabout way, pushing the Shen family to the front, and not directly confronting the Shen family. Although these two brothers have ambitions to surpass the Shen family, they are both masters who take one step and see three steps, so not only are they not the masterminds, but most of them are also like the Shen family, so they are in danger.

Since King Ning is planning to restore Ning Wangwei, the first thing is to raise money to raise troops and do the thing of looting Songjiang Mansion, which is not unusual. It's just that since there are boats, then they are not sea boats, but river boats.

"Who is the waiter next to you?" Shen Ruidao.

When Shen Zhu heard this, he hesitated a little, and said with a few twists: "In addition to the beautiful maids, there are a few young men who look like good girls." ”

If it weren't for this, Shen Zhu would not take seriously the words of the "nobleman" to support him as the head of the Shen family. In a place south of the Yangtze River, there has always been a male style, although Shen Zhu has not experienced it, but there are often delicate little girls around the three-room master, but he is familiar with it. Therefore, I was a little complacent and nervous in my heart, and felt that the nobleman's gaze was slightly meaningful, and although I couldn't accept this feeling, I didn't want to be too cold.

"Teenager? Are they all teenagers? Didn't have a crown? Shen Rui asked.

Shen Zhu thought for a while and said: "The leader among them is not a few years younger than the liar, but he is raised by his aunt, and he still speaks and acts with femininity, only in the rules, and his movements are like rulers, and he seems to have been taught." ”

Where is what is feminine, but it is a eunuch and lacks androgens. "Movement is like a ruler", but it is all trained by the court. Although there are eunuchs in the local feudal palaces, they do not have the right to directly recruit people, and they are all sent down by the capital, and they are naturally well-trained little eunuchs.

After knowing what he knew, Shen Rui did not continue to listen to Shen Zhu's confession and curse, ordered someone to guard carefully, and went back to the city by himself.

When he returned to the Zongfang guest room, Shen Hai was also there, his face was a little less dignified, revealing a little relaxation. It seems that Shen Li's previous prefect yamen and his entourage have good news.

Looking at Shen Rui's dusty appearance, Shen Hai's eyes were probing: "I heard that Brother Rui went out of the city?" ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "I should be entrusted by the third brother to inquire about the news of Qi's second sister-in-law's mother and son." ”

Hearing this, Shen Hai's expression changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

The Shen family is a white family, and the men have no surplus of punishment, and the women have no more women. Even if he knew that Grandma Qi was innocent, but since she had been out for two months, her innocent reputation was gone. Therefore, Shen Haicai is more difficult. In his opinion, it would be good if he found the dead, and it would have nothing to do with the reputation of the Shen family; If a living person is found, the question is how to place it.

Shen Rui thought that Shen Hai had some clues at first, and was just about to ask, but when he reacted, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart. Although the etiquette is strict and extremely harsh on women, after all, there is a reason for the incident, is the safety of the mother and son not as good as an ethereal and innocent reputation?

Thinking of Shen Qi who was fierce and unlucky, Shen Rui's complaint against Shen Hai was three points more.

Officials who run the localities have always been reluctant to offend the local gentry and large households, and they have a lot of leeway to do things. If Shen Qi and the others had just been arrested, Shen Hai's attitude would have been tougher, and it would have been impossible to say that things would have been another direction of development.

Maybe Shen Hai himself knew that he was not kind, so he didn't say anything to prevent him from looking for people, but only said that he had prepared Jiang Xian and asked Shen Li to take Shen Rui to the backyard for dinner at night.

Shen Li, got up and sent Shen Hai out.

Shen Rui followed behind, looking at Shen Hai's slightly clumsy back, as well as his sideburns and gray hair, his heart was a little stuffy.

Although the Shen family is known as the Songjiang family, the real confidence is still the children of the Shen family who are officials outside. Shen Li and Shen Jin are both potential stocks, and they can't be in charge of it alone, Shen Cheng and Shen Ying are all boiling their qualifications, and if they want to stay in a high position, they need ten or twenty years of elites.

King Ning's calculation and robbery, Zhao Xianzhong's choice, and the He family's robbery while the fire is on fire, all show that the Shen family is treated as a meat bun, and everyone wants to take a bite. We can't go on like this, or we will escape this catastrophe, and the next trouble will await. There are not only two families in Songjiang, Shen and He, but also several other surnames, and the Shen family's Liangtian shop are all objects of contempt.

Seeing Shen Hai's back leave, Shen Licai asked, "What did Brother Rui ask?" ”

Shen Rui told Shen Zhu's confession, and Shen Li listened, his face became solemn.

"Jiangnan accent, the servants are strong, and the nobles are the sons. Isn't it the son of several Guogong mansions in Jinling? "Jinling has the Wei State Mansion that has been ordered to guard Nanjing for generations, and it is the eldest son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the **** ancestor, who are ambitious and have supporting forces, Shen Li thought of them directly.
