In Shen Yuan's heart, the first place is definitely silver. And the second, the third...... It was all silver, too.

Sons, mothers, wives, all of them have to be far from the back.

Shen Jin had already broken it and crumpled it to him, and Shen Yuan was more or less mentally prepared, but being prepared did not mean that he would agree, he never felt that he was wrong.

What does it matter to you to rob the robbers? Besides, wasn't the fourth room also robbed?

Before the clan meeting, Shen Yuan thought that he must fight hard to understand it based on reason, but it really can't be done, and it will be enough to pay 1,800 taels of silver.

When Shen Qi said that he would pay seventy percent of everyone's losses, Shen Yuan immediately went crazy uncontrollably, how much silver did it have to be?

"The fourth room is not good, and it has not been ransacked! Which of the He family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family was not robbed? It's all me Shen Yuan who made trouble?! Shen Yuan jumped like thunder, his hand pointing at Shen Qi couldn't help trembling, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Japanese who robbed the Shen family!" It's a wolf! It's not a four-room robbery! The fourth room was also emptied, and two subordinates died in the fourth room! Why did you just go to the fourth room with empty white teeth? It's easy to bully the fourth room?! You were robbed, I was robbed, why do you have to pay for you who were robbed? You want to drink my blood and eat my flesh, what kind of people are you? That's how you Shen Qi became the patriarch?! ”

Shen Yuan was crazy, he only felt that his heart, liver and lungs were hurting, and he could no longer keep the elegant appearance he had always held, so he kicked over the chair, pushed away Shen Jin who was sitting in front, and ran to the hall: "What's wrong with my repentance?" The Yan family is just a ninth-rate salt merchant, and they still want to climb my champion son, and they are also worthy! If it were you, if it was you, would you regret the marriage? Do you regret your marriage?! Don't pretend to be a decent gentleman one by one, you are faster than anyone else to repent of your marriage! Okay, I'll get married, and the Yan family's collusion with the Japanese will still depend on me! You just want four houses of silver! ”

Seeing that Shen Yuan was about to hurt someone, the deacon's children hurriedly rushed over and tried to stop him.

Shen Yuan didn't know where the strength came from, so he broke free in two clicks. He was already so angry that he was smoking, and there was only one thought in his heart, there was no way to swallow Lao Tzu's silver.

"Silver! Silver! Silver! Shen Yuan suddenly turned around and rushed back, grabbed Shen Jin's shirt with one hand, and pointed to everyone in the hall with the other: "Champion Gong, do you hear, they want to give you Lao Tzu an official to take away the four-room property, okay, send the official, send the official!" Send it! I said in court that I colluded with the Japanese and colluded with the Japanese to punish the nine clans, I think who of you surnamed Shen can escape? ”

The eerie and fierce voice made everyone shudder.

Shen Hu, who was at the top of the seat in the fourth room, had always been cowardly, and he was facing Shen Yuan's cannibalistic eyes, shaking and almost sliding under the seat, and only sat down with the armrests of the circle chair.

Shen Ying, who was at the bottom, sat steadily, her voice was neither lukewarm nor small, and said, "Uncle Yuan has a good memory, let's just divide the sect." If Uncle Yuan goes to the head, he will only lose the four rooms, and the people who come out of the five suits next to him will not move the court. ”

Many clansmen breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they were stirred by this Shen Yuan, and they forgot about this stubble for a while.

Shen Jin was helpless, grabbed Shen Yuan's arm with both hands, and said, "Don't be impatient, master, there is a son." ”

Shen Yuan's eyes widened, listening to the division of sects in his ears, and he also knew in his heart that if he really punished the nine clans, he would only punish the two of them, but he couldn't turn around, and there was only one voice in his head, silver, they want Lao Tzu's silver!

The two deacon's children came up and pulled Shen Yuan away, although Shen Yuan was pulled away, he was still angry, and the bruises on his neck and head were up.

"Yes, it was the widows who robbed it, not the fourth room." Shen Qi stared at the crazy Shen Yuan calmly, and said, "But looking at Songjiang, the He family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family have all encountered chaos, and which one has been hit hard like the Shen family?" Which family was robbed by the Japanese invaders, but was falsely accused of being a Japanese bandit, and the people were uneasy? Who gave the three brothers of our clan all the worship they received in prison? The clansmen are running outside, who will they worship when they are struggling with money? ! ”

It involves himself, and the darkest prison disaster, as well as the missing wife and children, the old father who died of anxiety and worry...... Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't maintain his calm anymore, Huo Ran got up, and said coldly: "It's Yan Baowen!" These are all Yan Baowen's revenge! Then, Shen Yuan, you say, why did Yan Baowen retaliate? Why?! You still say that it has nothing to do with the four rooms? ”

Shen Yuan was asked by Shen Qi, and he was speechless for a while.

Shen Yuan really couldn't answer these questions.

All the clansmen present looked at Shen Yuan very badly.

Yes, repentance is not a big sin, this is not the only one in the clan who regrets marriage, and there is no such prohibition in the clan rules, but if he provoked Yan Baowen and provoked such a murderous revenge, he Shen Yuan didn't want to pretend to be innocent.

The He family, the Lu family, the Zhang family, not to mention the Songjiang family, even the common people have suffered from the scourge of the Japanese Bandits, but indeed, none of them are as tragic as the Shen family.

Especially later, the third son of the Shen family was unjustly imprisoned, even if there was the calculation of the He family and the greed of the prefect, but it became like this, most of it was because of Yan Baowen's initiator.

Shen Hai looked at Shen Yuan, who opened his mouth several times and couldn't speak, his heart was also full of resentment, his eldest grandson has not heard from him so far, he has spent a lot of money and said many good things for the second son who was imprisoned, but the second son came out but injured his leg, and now he is separated from himself, and he has lost his position as the patriarch......

Shen Hai is not an open-minded person, and he has more and more recorded all the unsatisfactory on Shen Yuanyuan, if you want to talk about losses, the loss of Zongfang is far more than the compensation of the fourth room, that is, let the fourth room compensate seventy percent, which is cheap Shen Yuan.

Shen Hai immediately said in a deep voice: "Shen Yuan! The clan has been lenient to you, and if you really want to make a scapegoat as you say, you should pay for all the losses in the rebellion! Now that the clan is clearly settled, only let you pay for the seventy percent of the silver that was robbed because of you, which is already benevolent and righteous, do you still want to deny it? ”

Shen Liu, the eighth room, couldn't help but stand up, tugged at the filial piety clothes on his body, and said with red eyes: "Shen Yuan, you still dare to say that two people died in your fourth room, that's just two subordinates!" Look at the hall, because of the Yan family's revenge, how many clansmen died in this rebellion! Shen clan people! ”

Looking around the hall, the three brothers in the fifth room guarded Shen Hong's filial piety, Shen Qi in the sixth room guarded his wife's filial piety, and the seventh and eighth rooms guarded the old lady's filial piety. Looking at the hall again, the pieces of coarse linen mourning clothes were dazzling in the sun. Among the clansmen, there were not a few casualties this time, and most of the people in this upper and lower hall were mourned.

Everyone's eyes were full of coldness, staring directly at Shen Yuan, eager to let him go to the funeral.

Shen Jin also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, knowing that he couldn't be good today, he was also planning to admit his mistakes, but in this case, it would not be possible to admit his mistakes lightly, if he was rejected by the clansmen, the entire four rooms would be struggling. He tugged on the sleeve of Shen Yuan, who was stunned on the spot, lowered his voice and called sharply: "Father!" ”

As soon as Shen Yuan came back to his senses, he found that the eyes around him were not good, and his heart suddenly sudden, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Shen Qi said almost word by word: "The property is especially compensable, the deceased is gone, and it is no longer compensable!" ”

Shen Qi is also a blood pupil, why not the deceased? His wife, children, and eldest grandson of the clan are all missing! If it weren't for the name of the patriarch, he would want to stab Shen Yuan, and let him taste what the pain of the heart is.

Shen Qi's voice was bitterly chilling: "According to the second article of the clan rules, 'Those who provoke and fight and cause the death of their clansmen will be given eighty rods, and the family property will be compensated and the family will be lost, and the clan will be removed and sent to the official; Those who cause the death of their clansmen by negligence shall be given 80 rods, and the family property shall be compensated and the family shall be locked for three to ten years. ’”

Shen Yuan trembled his lips, and when he looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot, and the green tendons between his foreheads jumped up, fifty rods, eighty rods, and they were to send the clan to the officials, and they were going to lock the shrine, they were trying to kill themselves.

But when he opened his mouth wide, Shen Yuan's voice was so weak: "I didn't kill people!" That's a Wako! Wakako! Who can control the pirates? You can? Can you?! ”

There were already people in the clan who had lost their relatives and shouted and cursed.

Shen Jin was about to kneel for his father, his head was in a cold sweat, and he saluted four times in a row, saying: "My father is not in good health, and he is confused for a while, so please forgive me." ”

After a moment of chaos, it quieted down amid the shouting "silence" of the deacon's children.

Shen Qi suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart, and gave Shen Ying, Shen Quan, and Shen Rui, who had been looking at him nervously, a reassuring look, and then said slowly and seriously: "According to the clan rules, Shen Yuan has been sentenced. In order to collect evidence in the case, the clansmen also roughly calculated the losses, except for the four rooms, the rest of the clansmen were robbed and burned down in the shops, treasury gold, silver and treasures, about 15 or 60,000 taels, and the four houses paid 70 percent, 110,000 taels. Because he was sick before, he was compromised with a cane, and the rod was fifty, and then he locked the shrine for ten years, chanting sutras to mourn the deceased of his relatives. ”

Shen Yuan's eyes were about to stare out of the sockets, and suddenly he had strength, and he threw himself forward with his teeth and claws, although he was stopped by the deacon's children, he still shouted hoarsely: "You declare a personal vendetta, you did it on purpose!" You're taking revenge on the four rooms! Shen Qi, you are not worthy of being the patriarch! Unworthy! ”

Shen Jin was shocked by the "Ten Years of Locking the Ancestral Hall", and he forgot that the clan rules and the "Locked Ancestral Hall" article.

As Shen Rui expected, Shen Jin was worried about how his father would settle if he returned to Beijing, stay in Songjiang and take him to the capital for fear of more disaster, so depressed that he even had the idea of "killing his father". Now, "Lock Temple" is really a perfect solution to his troubles.

Lock the ancestral hall and detain it in the ancestral hall for ten years.

Decade!

Ten years is enough for Shen Jin to be stable in his career. Ten years, Shen Yuan is over half a hundred years old, and he won't be too tossed if he thinks about it, not to mention that he has been locked for ten years, **** coarse tea and light rice to cultivate his body, maybe Shen Yuan will become quieter. Ten years, my father is not at home, and my stepmother Xiao He is a smart person who will not let my grandmother tumble into trouble, and the family can rest assured.

In the clan, this is a great favor for himself, solving his own difficulties, and not letting him bear the charge of unfilial piety.

Shen Jin should have felt very relaxed, but when he turned his head to see such a crazy father, although he has become more and more confused and stupid in recent years, he has also really loved his biological father for many years, "locked the ancestral hall" for ten years, ten years, the sentence "four-room confession" on the tip of Shen Jin's tongue weighed more than a thousand catties, and he was almost out of breath.

For his own future, Guan Father has been closed for ten years, how can Shen Jin nod? He even began to feel ashamed of the momentary surprise he had received when he first heard about the "Lock Temple" for ten years.

Shen Rui had been observing Shen Jin's face from the side, and seeing that he was struggling, his heart was also mixed.

Of course, Shen Rui hoped that Shen Yuan would not come out to make trouble for him, even if Shen Jin happily agreed at this time, he would not think much about it. However, in this world now, filial piety is the most important, if Shen Jin is like that, he will be attacked when he is turned out in the future.

Thinking of his worries, Shen Rui couldn't help but secretly shake his head and laugh, let Shen Jin choose, what does it have to do with him. Shen Jin is the son of the fourth room, this is a choice he must face.

Shen Li doesn't have Shen Rui's entanglement, Shen Yuan's scourge must be locked up, otherwise he will be the culprit, but his identity, non-sect son, non-clan, non-patriarch, non-house chief, and Shen Yuan's younger generation, in fact, it is not good to say anything at this time.

Shen Li was hesitating what to do, but the master of the ninth room over there did him a great favor.

The ninth room master shouted, "Shen Yuan! I still don't know what is wrong! Just lock it up in the ancestral hall! Shen Jin, you are the son of the four-room sect, what do you say about this fine! ”
