Chapter 486: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (2)
Outside Songjiang City, a horse-drawn carriage went out of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen Lu sat in the carriage, completely lost the reluctance of the master in the ninth room, touched the money bag in his arms, thought about the prosperity of Quanzhou, hummed a little song in his mouth, and yearned. Because the imperial court explicitly forbade sea transportation, they had to go south by land, passing through Zhejiang to Fujian. As for what Huang Laoqi, what Shen Ling or something, they were all left behind, and their minds were full of Fujian fans, there are all kinds of beauties, I tasted the taste of Oriental beauties last time, and I can't say that I can see Nanyang beauties this time.
The more Shen Lu thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he didn't have to worry about "people leaving his hometown", he was full of expectations for going south, and he didn't want the carriage to stop suddenly, his body staggered, and his head hit the carriage directly.
"Ouch!" Shen Lu exclaimed, his heart suddenly became angry, he lifted the curtain, and cursed: "Wang Er, are you blind? Will you catch a car? In the end, the scolding was silenced, looking at a few Tsing Yi servants in front of him, and the carriage was surrounded.
Wang Er had already been cut off and collapsed on the ground.
Shen Lu saw that something was wrong, and his body couldn't help trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing?" It can't be a mistake, right? ”
A few servants in front of him didn't speak, and two of them stepped forward to pull Shen Lu, and the frightened Shen Lu shrank straight into the carriage, holding the money box in his hand and said: "All the heroes spare their lives, please eat tea ...... these heroes."
No one listened to his nonsense, and went down with a knife in one hand, and Shen Lu fainted to death in the carriage.
In the woods on the side of the road, Shen Rui turned around from behind a big tree.
A leader-looking servant stepped forward to see Shen Rui, and one of them carried Shen Lu's master and servant to the carriage.
A blue tweed carriage was driven out of the woods, which looked very similar to the carriage of Jiufang, and the man who drove the carriage was also dressed similarly to Shen Liu's nurse brother, and several young servants in Tsing Yi got into the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward along the official road.
Leaving Shen Rui and four or five people, looking at the carriage before.
"You can't go to Sixth Brother's Zhuangzi." Shen Rui pondered for a moment and said.
The leader was Zhai Jinshan, the leader of the guards beside Shen Li, who hesitated after listening to Shen Rui's words, after all, there was Shen Li's orders in front.
"If you open this matter in the future, the sixth brother can't say it clearly, and send it to my Zhuangzi, even if you open it, you won't be afraid of being framed by others." Shen Ruidao.
Shen Li is the old son-in-law of the pavilion, and the person who is now in power in the Shen family is easy to be framed. Even if Shen Lu was intercepted halfway this time in order to take the lead and not let the other party continue to make a fuss about Shen Lu, it was necessary to prevent the other party from biting back and framing Shen Li for "being a thief". On Shen Rui, but a talent who has not yet reached the weak crown has not yet entered the ranks, and has already left Songjiang for many years, so there are few places that can be framed.
When Shen Rui discussed this matter with Shen Li before, Shen Rui proposed to send Shen Lu to Zhuangzi under his name, but Shen Li was unwilling to let Shen Rui bear the slightest involvement and did not agree to this matter. Shen Rui didn't ramble and didn't want to change his mind at this time.
The leader of the guard, Zhai Jinshan, was able to come out to do this confidential thing, he was Shen Li's confidant, and he knew that Shen Li treated Shen Rui as his own brother, and Shen Rui also respected Shen Li as a father and brother. However, although Shen Rui's proposal was good, it did not match Shen Li's order.
Shen Rui saw that Zhai Jinshan was hesitant and said, "If the sixth brother asks, I will take care of this matter." ”
Zhai Jinshan stopped being verbose, and ordered two of his subordinates to rush to Zhuangzi under Shen Rui's name, leaving behind a thin man
Shen Rui's Zhuangzi is one of the Sun family's dowry industries, and after the Xu family went south, these industries were taken care of by the old man in the second room.
Shen Rui and Zhai Jinshan did not follow the carriage, but got into another green tweed carriage, and the thin man drove the carriage and continued south.
The carriage traveled slowly, Shen Rui estimated the time in the carriage, if the other party went out to chase the soldiers by land, then there should be people and horses to catch up, if the other party went out to chase the soldiers by water, then it was not only the local forces in Songjiang who were lurking in the shadows to calculate the Shen family, but also several water bandits on the Yangtze River.
At this time, I heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves in the distance.
In the carriage, Shen Rui and Zhai Jinshan glanced at each other.
Zhai Jinshan said in a low voice: "There are five horses!" ”
As he spoke, the group on horseback had already arrived nearby.
The man in the lead, with his hat, stopped his horse, looked at the carriage, and hesitated.
Someone next to him saw it and said in a low voice: "Ninth Master, the carriage over there is a blue ......"
The hat-bearer nodded, urging the horse to continue galloping, and the others followed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The thin coachman ate a mouthful of dust, and Shen Rui lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the backs of the group in front of him. The leader wears a hat, but he is dressed as a Confucian and rides a white horse. Shen Rui was thoughtful, and his heart was uncertain.
Zhai Jinshan said: "What can the second master see?" ”
Shen Rui frowned and asked, "In the past two days, you have secretly inquired about the affairs of the He family, how many people in their clan are in the ninth line?" How many of them are among the young men of twenty to thirty? ”
Zhai Jinshan thought for a while and replied: "One person from the older generation and three people from the younger generation is nine, among which there is only one young man, but he is a fat man, and he is not the one who has just passed." ”
Shen Rui said solemnly: "There are only a few long followers on that side, can you see anything?" ”
Zhai Jinshan said: "The temples are bulging, they are all practicing families, not like ordinary servants, which family was worshiped at that time." ”
Shen Rui couldn't help but worry: "Then is there enough manpower arranged by us over there?" ”
Zhai Jinshan said with a little smugness: "My brother is from Baoding Zhao Jiaquan, and his skills are three points stronger than Lao Zhai, although the second master can rest assured." ”
That being said, the carriage picked up speed.
At this time, the knight and his party had already chased the blue carriage in front.
The hat-bearers reined in their horses, and the others surrounded the carriage.
The coachman looked at the crowd in horror, and the hat-bearer stared at the carriage.
The person next to him muttered: "How cheap it is to kill with a knife, and you have to send people back." ”
The hat man sneered: "That's a waste, even if you have to die, you have to die in the right place to have the greatest benefit." ”
The coachman trembled, and the people in the carriage remained silent.
Seeing this, the hat-bearer motioned to his subordinates to come forward and check,
One dismounted, stepped forward and kicked the coachman aside, reaching out to tear the curtain.
There was a puff of dust, and the man shook and collapsed to the ground. The others sensed that something was wrong, and they all drew their knives out, and the hat-bearer shouted: "It's a trap, withdraw!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man turned his horse's head, and the others followed. This is, the rope suddenly bounced in front, and the horse on which the hat-bearer was sitting was tripped and fell to the ground, and let out a wail. Several other horses were also brought to panic, and at this time a few feathered arrows were shot behind them, and the targets were a few horses' hips.
A few young men who turned out of the green carriage had already chased after them, and they were fighting with several knights with swords, and they were fighting for a while. The man with the hat tripped over the horse and fell to the ground, and he didn't know where he was hurt, his face was covered with cold sweat, and seeing that the momentum was not right, he dragged his injured leg and moved to the dense forest on the side of the road.
Seeing the edge of the woods, no one noticed, the hat man breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to hear a thunderbolt in his ears.
"Brother Zhu Jiu, where are you going?"
The hat man, that is, Shen Zhu, widened his eyes in horror, which one was not Shen Rui in front of him?
Shen Zhuqiang smiled: "Is it the second brother Rui?" What a coincidence? ”
Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a coincidence, why did Brother Zhu Jiu run away to the wilderness?" ”
Shen Zhu heard the sound behind him gradually stopped, looked back, and saw that the four people he brought were all subdued by several strong men in green clothes, and he felt that his scalp was numb, and he still said stiffly: "I was ordered to go out to collect rent, I don't want to meet bandits, I'm afraid I'm going to involve the second brother Rui!" ”
Shen Rui saw that he was not ashamed, so he lazily quarreled with him again and took two steps back.
Shen Zhu couldn't help but be surprised, Zhai Jinshan had already led people forward and walked towards Shen Zhu head-on.
Seeing this, Shen Zhu exclaimed, "Who are you?" I am the Shen family, don't act rashly! ”
Zhai Jinshan continued to step forward, Shen Zhu looked at Shen Rui, saw the corner of his mouth with a sneer, and for a while, he pounced on Shen Rui.
Zhai Jinshan twisted Shen Zhu, and the dagger hidden in Shen Zhu's sleeve fell to the ground.
Shen Rui sneered: "Could it be that I am mistaken, I have a hatred with you for killing my father and taking my wife, which will make you want to kill?" ”
Shen Zhu's eyes were red, and he said hatefully: "Shen Rui, you hypocrite!" If you hadn't pretended to be pitiful back then, how could the second room choose you as the heir! You are insatiable, not to mention that you have a advantage, but you have to occupy another place. Hmph, what if you occupy it, the kid of Ke's father and mother is not Shen Jue's short-lived ghost! ”
"Ridiculous! Don't choose Shen Jue, choose you, a great talent? Shen Rui sneered: "Or do you think others are fools, and you can't see that you are a person with low eyes, great ambitions, and inferior means?" ”
Shen Zhu said angrily: "I am the first person in ethnology!" It was you who were jealous of me and deliberately slandered me in front of the elders in the second room! ”
"Hah! Compared to a group of teenage kids, what's so proud about you getting first? Since it is the first in ethnography, what is the fame now? Brother Jin has become the champion, and the third brother has become a lifter, what about you Zhujiu? It's just a talent who doesn't make it! Shen Rui said coldly.
Shen Zhu is older than Shen Quan, and this year is already the year of the weak crown, but he didn't expect his temperament to be so narrow-minded, and he is still worried about choosing an heir in the second room a few years ago.
"It's all you who are jealous of me and deliberately suppress me, otherwise how could everyone else be hit, and I am the only one who falls! You despicable people, you are afraid that I will come out, so you join forces to deal with me! Shen Zhu was furious, crazy, and his face was hideous.
"So colluding with the He family, framing Shen Qi, Shen Ling and others, and killing the Shen family?" Shen Rui said calmly.
Shen Zhu immediately froze, removed his eyes, and said angrily: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? You are all jealous of me, I have all hid in Songjiang, and you want to harm me! ”
In the end, he was young, his mouth was negative, and his face showed two smugness, probably because he felt that even if he was suspected, there was no evidence, and Shen Rui couldn't do anything about himself.
With such a style, coupled with the previous behavior, there is no need to ask again.
Shen Rui sighed in his heart, he had long known that Shen Zhu's heart was not right, but he didn't expect to bring this monstrous disaster to the Shen family. Partial survival is still so self-righteous, under the nest, there are eggs? Sanfang has always been a businessman, with the thinnest foundation, and without the Shen family as a backer behind it, being annexed is just a matter of words.
Seeing that Shen Rui was speechless, Shen Zhu felt two more points in his heart. Catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, even if he wants to charge himself with something, but it is in vain without evidence.
Seeing Shen Rui nodding to Zhai Jinshan, Shen Zhu was still confused, the back of his neck hurt, and he was already unconscious.
