Since Zhao Xianzhong is a person in the officialdom, he naturally knows the relevant taboos. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info although he is weak for this result, but he really feels that he has been wronged.

At the beginning, Songjiang was looted by the "Japanese Invaders" and suffered heavy losses, Zhao Xianzhong was in a panic, and naturally thought about how to get rid of the crime.

The three people detained by the Shen family all have meritorious reputations, and the worst Shen Ling is also a prisoner, who was detained for no reason, and she was already angry, so she naturally would not tremble like Shengdou Xiaomin and honestly admit her guilt. was originally a scholar's arrogance and the confidence of being famous, and in the eyes of Zhao Xianzhong, who was bent on getting rid of his crimes, he became "fearless", and Zhao Xianzhong was angry, so he listened to Yan Juren's instigation and made the three people tortured.

Zhao Xianzhong, a civil official, called "benevolent", and since he couldn't see blood, he asked Yan Juren to arrange for interrogation. Because he also knew that this crime was a bit unscripted, he was afraid of causing speculation by the subordinate officials of the prefect's yamen and leaking the news to the Shen family, so the torture was carried out secretly, and an old official surnamed Tian in the torture room was responsible.

By the time Zhao Xianzhong got the news and knew that the third son of the Shen family had an accident, the old official surnamed Tian had disappeared. And the three brothers of the Shen family, although they are not dead, they all have their own defects, Shen Ling broke the roots of his descendants, Shen Qi broke his right arm, and Shen Jun picked his right tendon.

Without waiting for Zhao Xianzhong to wake up and think about how to deal with this matter, Shen Ling hanged himself. A life was in front of him, Zhao Xianzhong panicked, and such a big thing couldn't be covered up at all, so he thought about how to smooth out the matter, so he went to the prison to discuss.

When the prison saw several disabled and dead children of the Shen family, he was horrified, not only because of Zhao Xianzhong's methods, but also because he was the prisoner, even if he did not know about it before, but the Shen family investigated it, and he could not escape, so he gave Zhao Xianzhong a "good idea" and asked Zhao Xianzhong to keep Shen Ling's body in order to prevent the Shen family from biting Zhao Xianzhong and "tortured and killed". In fact, he left evidence of Zhao Xianzhong's "mutilation of scholars", so as to leave a way back for himself.

Because of his weak heart, Zhao Xianzhong was not thoughtful for a while, so he believed the advice of the prison and kept Shen Ling's body. In order to shirk his responsibility, he wanted to file a case for an old official surnamed Tian, but he was afraid that the leakage of the matter would cause the Shen family to rebound, so he found a separate excuse to file a case, issued a sea fishing document, and wanted the old official surnamed Tian, in order to confront the Shen family today.

"You are the prefect, and it is a big mistake to order people to torture the priests in violation of the law; Torture is disabled, and it is even more wrong than wrong, how can it be shirked with a single sentence? Shen Li sneered.

Zhao Xianzhong stiffened his neck and said: "When it is extraordinary, you should use extraordinary methods." At that time, Songjiang had just been robbed by the Japanese invaders, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and holding dozens of women hostage. ”

Shen Li kept his mouth shut about the "chaos", only looked at Zhao Xianzhong and said: "The extraordinary law is not a chaotic law? When Jiangsu Xuezheng arrives, Governor Zhao will say the extraordinary law! ”

"Master Shen, how selfish are you to only care about the honor and disgrace of one surname and one family, but you leave the safety of the people of Songjiang behind?" The more Zhao Xianzhong said, the more confident he became, and his face was full of justice and awe.

"Is the people of Songjiang safe? As a local parent, isn't it the duty of Lord Zhao to protect the safety of the people? Dare to ask Lord Zhao, when thieves enter the city to plunder and burn the people, where is Lord Zhao? When the thieves retreated with gold, silver, jade, grain and oil, where was Lord Zhao? Shen Li said.

Zhao Xianzhong was dumbfounded, his face turned red, and after a while, he said: "The prefect's yamen is an important place, and this mansion does not dare to leave ...... lightly."

Allowing the "Japanese Invaders" to enter the city, Zhao Xianzhong, as the prefect, did not fight to the death, which was already a fault; Not to mention that even the officials were not sent out, and avoiding the war like this is no longer worth the crime of dereliction of duty. This is also the reason why Zhao Xianzhong knew that he was going to make a decision, and he wanted to pull the Shen family into the water, but he was lucky and wanted to ask for a glimmer of life.

Because of the "rebellion" already mentioned, Wang Shouren took out the second holy decree today, removing Zhao Xianzhong, the prefect of Songjiang, and detaining Dai Sin, and Dong Qihe, the governor of Songjiang, temporarily took the post of prefect of Songjiang.

Zhao Xianzhong was in a daze, and the first person sitting at the head of Songjiang Tongzhi Dong Qihe had already gotten up, and he couldn't bear the excitement to accept the order.

The prefect is the fourth grade, the same knowledge is the fifth grade, and some people will not be able to rise to the fourth grade in a lifetime. The imperial court did not send anyone else down, so as long as Dong Qihe did not make a mistake, when the case was over, most of the Songjiang prefect would fall on Dong Qihe, and how could Dong Qihe not be excited?

Wang Shouren looked at the people in the hall and said: "The trial of the Shen family's sons and sons will be postponed, and when Jiangsu Xuezheng arrives, it will be tried together with the case of Zhao Xianzhong's cruelty to the scholars!" ”

Everyone got up and promised, Zhao Xianzhong had already woken up, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower official is wronged, the lower official has something to report, and the real culprit behind the murder of the Shen family's scholars is the He family!" It was He Xisheng who wanted to annex the Shen family's industry, and instructed people to falsely accuse the Shen family's sons of Tongyu, and then it was also the He family who took the lead to destroy the mouth, and Tian Baisui used torture to kill the Shen family's scholars, and he must have been He Xisheng's mastermind! Hurry up and send someone to arrest He Xisheng, don't let him run! ”

Zhao Xianzhong's words were firm, and he didn't lie at all, just because this was his sincere guess. The reason why he didn't want to see the He family was also related to this, he always felt that the He family was not kind, and it was not good to assassinate the Shen family to choose a place.

Zhao Xianzhong's testimony, Shen Li and Shen Rui listened without changing their faces, and Shen Jun, who was standing in the hall, looked more and more indifferent. And from the newly appointed acting prefect Dong Qihe downwards, many of the prefect's yamen subordinates had apprehension on their faces.

Zhao Xianzhong saw it in his eyes, pointed to all the subordinate officials and said: "Lord Qincha, He Xisheng is the best at building relationships, and he has made friends with many people in the prefect's yamen, so he can't say that there should be an internal relationship between them, otherwise he wouldn't dare and can't kill the Shen family's scholars in the prefect's yamen!" ”

In a word, all the subordinate officials of the entire Songjiang prefect were listed as suspects, and everyone looked at Zhao Xianzhong with eyes that wanted to eat people.

It's really yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, it's not but is. The He family is the family of the eunuchs, and the second master of He has no grade, but the He family has a squire in the capital, and he is a sesame petty official of the prefect's yamen, and he also gives more face to the He family's banquet and wine, but it is just a social interaction, but now he is bitten by Zhao Xianzhong, but everyone is not innocent.

Originally, Zhao Xianzhong stepped down as the prefect, Dong Qihe acted as the prefect, and the same knowledge was vacant, if he was lucky, everyone else had the opportunity to be promoted to the next level, but now that he came, whether he could keep his position was two words.

Wang Shouren did not pursue everyone's intention at this moment, ordered someone to suppress Zhao Xianzhong, and in order to prevent He Xisheng from escaping, he ordered Jinyiwei to be detained and brought to justice, so that after Jiangsu Xuezheng came, the case would be tried together. As for the Shen family's scholars involved in the case, they were guaranteed by Shen Li to return home to recuperate, and they were not allowed to leave Songjiang to listen to the summons of the yamen.

All the subordinate officials breathed a sigh of relief, and Dong Qihe took the lead and proposed to set up a banquet for Lord Qincha to receive the wind and wash the dust.

Wang Shouren said: "Jiangsu Xuezheng will arrive in a few days, and I will receive your wishes after he arrives." ”

Everyone was also worried about how to get rid of suspicion, so they didn't force it, and honestly retreated.

Shen Jun and Shen Qi were in miserable condition, and there was still a Shen Ling, there were still many follow-up things, and Shen Li was also in turmoil, so he borrowed people from Wang Shouren and left the prefect's yamen with Shen Rui and the three sons of the Shen family. Things have come to this point, and it is lucky to leave a life, but Shen Ling has not yet been established, and she has gone so miserably, leaving behind a weak wife and children, lonely and helpless.

Outside the prefect's yamen, Shen Jin waited for a long time and was hesitating.

Because he heard that the Qin messenger who came here was Wang Shouren, Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, so he went back to the fourth room first, in order to take care of the fifth room next door at any time. I didn't think that it would take more than half a day, and the news of the arrival of the Qin mission reached the prefect's yamen, Zhao Xianzhong opened the guard of honor to greet him, and then Shen Li changed his official uniform, went directly to the prefect's yamen without invitation.

Shen Jin is the champion of the new department, and he has been awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise from the six products, and he is also an official. But because of his low grade and low qualifications, although he was also anxious to know the situation in the prefect's yamen, it was not easy to follow Shen Li's uninvited appearance, otherwise he would be too rampant, so he could only wait outside the gate of the prefect's yamen.

Seeing Shen Li and Shen Rui coming out, Shen Jin hurriedly greeted him, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Shen Qi carrying by someone and Shen Jun supporting him, and couldn't help but be shocked. Shen Ling was covered with a white cloth and carried on her back, which was not as conspicuous as Shen Qi and Shen Jun who were injured.

Wu Yan then drove out a carriage and came out, followed by another one, saying that it was Wang Shouren's order to call Shen Li and Shen Rui.

Shen Jin was also strange, he used two carriages, and the prefect's yamen was not far from Shenjiafang.

Shen Li had already beckoned people and lifted Shen Qi and Shen Jun into the back carriage; Then he beckoned the servant who was carrying Shen Ling's corpse on his back, and put Shen Ling's body into the first carriage.

Covered in white, Shen Jin sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

It wasn't until the carriage moved forward slowly, and he didn't even get into the carriage with him, but walked with the carriage, that Shen Jin pulled Shen Rui's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Rui, what about it...... That's Second Brother Ling......"

Shen Rui nodded, Shen Jin was speechless in shock, and everyone was silent all the way until they returned to the sect room.

Shen Hai and his wife were already waiting anxiously in the front hall, and when they heard the next person say that they were coming back with two carriages, the husband and wife's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly greeted them when they remembered their second son.

Without waiting for Shen Li to speak, He Shi was already full of interest and said, "Is Brother Jun back?" ”

Shen Hai looked at the carriage in front of him, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the curtain.

Shen Jun heard the movement, got down from the second car, stepped forward on crutches, looked at his parents who had not been seen for two months, and his hair was half gray, knelt down and said, "Dad, mother, unfilial son, come back......"

Among the three sons of the Shen family who were detained, Shen Jun seemed to be in a slightly better situation, but compared with Shen Qi and Shen Ling, he was actually emaciated and out of shape, his whole beard was unkempt, and he looked more than ten years old, and he no longer had the graceful appearance he had before.

Shen Hai didn't dare to admit it for a while, but the He family couldn't help it, and immediately grabbed his son, tears rained down, and said: "Brother Jun, my mother's Brother Jun, how many sins you have suffered, but you really feel sorry for your mother!" ”

Shen Jun has his back to the Shen family, half his life has been smooth, in the prefect's prison for two months, he has suffered all the hardships he has not endured in his life, and when he saw his parents, he didn't care about people, and he couldn't help crying like a child.

This is the Shen family fang, the place where the Shen family lives, and the movement on this side of the sect has already alarmed all the rooms. For a while, the people of all the clans who got the news came out one after another and gathered in the sect......
