Chapter Twenty-Eight: Floating Clouds and Wealth (2)

With Shen Qi's identity, even if he is the head of a room, he has the lowest rank among the relatives of all clans, and such a tone is disrespectful. The old lady in the third room was holding the shelf, and just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, he was preempted by the old lady in the eighth room: "Yes, it is the enemy, if it is not the revenge of killing the father and taking the wife, it will also leave two leeway." disregards friendship like this, divides each one cleanly, and eats ugly. ”

Shen Qi snorted coldly: "Ten taels of one mu of fertile land is priced at five taels, I really don't know that there is such a good thing in the world." Does this count as a conspiracy to rob the clansmen's property? That's a violation of the clan rules! ”

Sun's dowry was originally a four-room private property, and it had nothing to do with other houses. But the Zongfang, the third room, and the ninth room reached out to divide it like this, which really caused public anger.

It's not like this, if you really want to divide the Sun family's dowry, why do you put aside other houses? The Shen family has nine rooms, not three rooms. Could it be that just because the Zongfang, the third room, and the ninth room are powerful, they eat alone, and the other rooms can't even get soup?

Cough, cough, this is far away, and the Shen family has divided the head of the house and set up the head of the house, and the head of each house basically belongs to the self-discipline of each house on the premise of not violating the national law and clan rules. This house, three-room, and nine-room meddling in the four-room industry is a taboo.

Everyone knows that this precedent cannot be set, otherwise, in the future, maybe when their house is weak, they will become fish and meat. The clan relatives seized the property, but it was more ruthless than the outsiders seized the property. Outsiders seize property, there is always a place to reason; The clan relatives seized the property, maybe they still had to use the banner of "justifiable", even if they sued the government, there was nowhere to reason.

Since the eldest master of the sect heard the word "congratulations", his heart rolled over, and seeing that the atmosphere of everyone was getting more and more strange, he took it from Shen Qi's hand and folded it.

After two glances, he showed surprise: "How can this be? ”

Shen Rui watched from the side, and his heart became more and more weird. It's not Zhang Lao'an who meddles in the Sun family's industry, but the Shen clan who divides it?

Shen Juren Rao is not clear, and he also heard that it is wrong, thirteen industries? Sun married into the Shen family that year, the weaving mill, shop, house, and field of the marriage were a total of ten, in order to take the good meaning of "perfect", although these industries have been thriving over the years, but because Sun has always done a lot of good, the money saved is not much, and the industries added after are only three. Ten plus three, not exactly thirteen.

He stood up, looked at the patriarch's wife, and said eagerly, "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

The patriarch sighed heavily, but did not reply.

Shen Juren couldn't bear it, took a few steps forward, and snatched the paper fold in the hands of the master of the sect, and it was clearly recorded that all the thirteen properties under the name of the Sun family had changed hands. Except for the two weaving factories under the name of the He family, there are eleven left, three of which are occupied by the Zongfang, and four each of the third and ninth rooms.

Shen Juren only felt that his head was "buzzing", and he was already stupid.

The ninth master raised his chin and said: "The deed is true, how much silver are you willing to sell, which one can control?" ”

Even if he has a hard mouth, this sentence is not unreasonable, but it can cause the faces of all the clansmen to become more and more ugly. Since this list was copied from the yamen, it must not be a forgery, otherwise the master of the ninth room would not be so confident. But no one is a fool, ten taels of silver for five taels of good land, if there is no cat in it, who will believe it? Besides, it's not a bad thing for this industry to change hands, where is it used to cover up so tightly.

If it weren't for Shen Li's reassurance that Shen Rui would not be able to ask about Sun's dowry after the Sun family entered the ground, this matter would not have been able to break out for a while.

At this moment, Shen Juren had already woken up, holding the paper fold, facing the patriarch's grandfather, and said with red eyes: "Please uncle make the decision for your nephew!" ”

The patriarch Tai Ye Tie Qing's face was blue, and he didn't look at Shen Juren, but at the eldest master of the sect: "What the hell is going on?" So many industries change hands, isn't it overnight, you haven't heard of the movement? ”

The eldest master of the sect said helplessly: "If you hear the movement, my son will report to you early...... Although the second brother's properties were handled by the second brother, they did not enter the public school. ”

On the surface, it is the Zongfang that takes advantage of the four rooms and buys the Sun family's property cheaply, but it is all in the name of the second wife of the Zongfang, even if the Zongfang has not been separated, it has nothing to do with others. The eldest lord of the sect would rather the patriarch preside over "justice" than cheapen his younger brother. Phew, the sewage of this "robbery industry" is on the back of the Zongfang.

Only then did the patriarch look at Shen Juren: "You haven't heard any movement either?" Could it have been arranged by Sun? ”

Shen Juren said with red eyes: "Uncle, my nephew is still hearing about it for the first time. Sun has been sick since he was sick, and he has not heard about foreign affairs. If she changed hands, where did the money go? Nor will he leave a handwritten dowry divided equally between the two sons. ”

The patriarch couldn't imagine this, but he just had a glimmer of hope at the bottom.

Compared with the scandal of "spoiling concubines and destroying concubines" before the fourth room, this is a big deal now. A few heads of houses plotting to snatch the dowry of their nieces are a little more unpleasant than plotting to snatch the ancestral property of the four houses. This reputation has spread, whose daughter dares to marry into the Shen family.

He has been a patriarch all his life, and he claims to act fairly and fairly, but when he is old, he is pulled back by his son. Is this so easy to take advantage of? Zongfang took over these three properties, two cotton fields, and one shop, and started at 50% of the market price, which seemed to account for 18,000 taels of silver. Resting in ordinary people's homes, eighteen thousand taels of silver, enough to spend for several lifetimes, but Zongfang really does not lack this kind of industry. If you really want to take over these three properties like this, you don't need to have the reputation of the house.

Thinking of this, the patriarch gritted his teeth and said: "I went to chase the second child back, I want to see what this bastard has to say!" ”

The eldest master of the sect room answered, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Shen Li: "The second uncle of the sect, the fourth uncle and nephew of the third room, Lian, and the nephew have all invited people back, and they are almost there." ”

In a word, the faces of the people in the third room and the ninth room changed, and the master of the ninth room and Shen Lu also looked dumbfounded. The two rooms were named, but the nine rooms were not mentioned, and it was obvious that the person in charge was in the hall.

But the two families didn't speak first, but looked at the sect room with a blank look. As long as there is a clan house in front of them, they will really take advantage of this bargain.

The eldest master of the sect stopped, turned around, thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and looked at Shen Judao: "Chaoyuan, isn't the Sun family's industry taken care of by your family's Lao Anren?" Did you order it from Lao An? ”

Shen Juren hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." My mother asked about the contracts of these properties a few days ago, because the Sun family left in a hurry, and the things were not placed clearly, she was still not at ease, afraid that if she lost the deed, she would miss it, and urged me to go to the yamen to make up the deed. I thought that when Sun's funeral was over, I would go to the county office, who would have thought that such a thing would happen. ”

Lost the deed?

The old lady in the third room and the old lady in the ninth room glanced at each other, each with their own plans. These four houses dispose of the industry, and the clansmen give priority to taking over, and it is reasonable to say anywhere. If the clansmen don't take over, there are outsiders waiting. It's just that I didn't hear the movement of the weaving factory, which are the two most valuable industries, and it is not the clan that takes over the He family cheaply.

The eldest master of the sect still felt that something was wrong, and said: "Since this property has changed the owner's family, no one has come out to take over?" What are you all waiting for? ”

When he mentioned this, everyone also felt weird, after all, according to the contract, the thirteen properties under the name of the Sun family have changed owners, no matter how much the selling price is, it has been filed in the Yamen, and it is not empty and white teeth can be returned.

Shen Jiang of the sect room and Shen Lian of the third room were not there, so everyone looked at the ninth room master and Shen Li in unison.

The ninth room master couldn't tell whether he was proud or embarrassed, and glanced at Shen Lu. Shen Lu touched his nose and said, "As early as when the deed was passed, Chen Yongshan made a verbal agreement with everyone, and these industries would not be taken over by anyone for the time being, and Aunt Yuan would talk about it after the big event." ”

"Chen Yongshan? It's a familiar name. The eldest master of the sect said again.

Shen Li looked at Shen Judao: "The second concubine of the Chen family, the fast son-in-law of the Zhang family." ”

Shen Juren glared and said, "It's him!?" He must have stolen the deed. ”

Shen Rui was beside him, lowering his head and flipped through the scattered memories of his master. This Chen Yongshan is really not an outsider, he is the grandson-in-law of Zhang Lao'an, and the husband of Zhang Jiayanniang.

Shen Juren was full of resentment, and he regretted it in his heart. He has always been proud of being a member of the Shen family, but he really didn't expect to end up like this. Inexplicably remembered Zhang Laoanren's words, and he really didn't dare to believe any of these people in front of him.

Shen Qi saw that Shen Juren couldn't tell the point, so he was very anxious, and said to Shen Lu: "It turns out that it is not Shen Yongshan who sells the industry, but Chen Yongshan!" Not to mention how Chen Yongshan got the deed, a person with a foreign surname buys and sells so many properties, and Brother Lu dares to start, so he is not afraid of being a thief? If you can't take the property, you will break the silver? ”

When Shen Lu heard this, he snorted lightly and said, "Please also ask Brother Qi to be cautious, I can't afford to bear this reputation for taking property." My four properties are complete in formalities, and there is nothing wrong with the deed in the yamen. ”

The old lady in the third room also followed: "That's it." This is a legal transaction, real money to buy. Even in the public court, the ownership of this property is clear. ”

Shen Juren only felt that his hands and feet were cold, because it involved the sect, even the patriarch and the patriarch didn't dare to count on it anymore, looked straight at Shen Li, and pleaded: "Weiyan, that's all your aunt's property, you have to administer justice for Brother Rui'er!" ”

Shen Li looked at Shen Judao: "Whether Chen Yongshan stole the contract, or what, Uncle Yuan, these thirteen properties are not gifts, but sales, even if it is only half of the market price, the transaction amount is more than 100,000 taels of silver." Where did all this money go? Let's report to the official! ”

Shen Juren gritted his teeth and said: "Report to the official, of course you have to report to the official!" This is a fraudulent sale, those properties are the Sun family's marrying property, who is qualified to sell?! ”

The faces of the people in the third and ninth rooms were ugly, but they didn't have much weakness. It is said that there is no provision that good land should be sold for ten taels of silver, nor is there a provision that a shop worth two thousand taels cannot be sold for one thousand taels. Even if it is torn to the court, there is still a contract written in black and white.

The patriarch's wife made a conclusion in one sentence and said: "Don't report to the official, the clan will discuss this matter!" ”
