In the county hall of the county government, under the forehead plaque hanging by the mirror, the county magistrate sits firmly in it, the next is Shen Qing and Chen Jisheng, and on the other side is Shen Shangxuan, who is wrapped like a zongzi.

The old patriarch of the Shen family had a calm face and sat silently on the side. His face was unfazed, and he seemed to be indifferent to what was in front of him. But if you look carefully, you can always see a cold light flashing from time to time in his narrowed eyes.

Shen Qing, the abandoned son of the Shen family in the past, came back, and now he sued the eldest son of the Shen family to the county office. The reason for this was that the old patriarch knew that this was the beginning of Shen Qing going back to the Shen family to take over as the patriarch.

For Shen Qing, the old patriarch obviously didn't have a good impression of him, after all, Shen Qing was born to a concubine, and in addition to Shen Shangxuan, who was already a wasted person, there was actually a Shen Luo in the Shen family, who was the second son of the Shen family.

After Shen Shangxuan became a waste, the old patriarch had already planned to let Shen Luo rise up and take over as the head of the Shen family. But at this juncture, Shen Qing came out and got mixed up with the Zuo Du Governor from Liaodong.

Originally, this was a family matter of the Shen family, and there was no need to go to court at all. But the magistrate, who is also the third elder of the Shen family, opened a court to try the case.

The old patriarch smelled an unusual smell from the beginning, and the magistrate had already made it clear that he wanted to support Shen Qing. The second eldest in the family also clearly stood on Shen Qing's side, obviously to get rid of the first heir Shen Luo and support Shen Qing to become the patriarch.

"Smack!"

The magistrate grabbed the hall and slapped it on the case, and drank coldly: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

"Mighty!"

The officials standing on both sides shouted in unison, and the wooden sticks in their hands kept tapping on the floor.

Zhixian grabbed Tangmu again and slapped it, and said majestically: "Shen Shangxuan, now your younger brother Shen Qing sues you for murdering his mother and taking away his family business, can there be such a thing?" ”

"Wronged ......"

Shen Shangxuan was weak, obviously very weak.

At this moment, he was already disheartened, since he was deposed, he had a premonition that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Shen Qing, do you have any evidence to prove that Shen Shangxuan is the murderer of your mother." Zhixian looked at Shen Qing, his face calm and waveless.

"My lord, the fact that my mother was killed by her, everyone in the Shen Mansion knows about it, including the patriarch." Shen Qing looked at the old patriarch coldly.

The latter, still expressionless and unresponsive, squinted as if asleep.

"Elder Shen, what Shen Qing said is true!" Zhixian hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Only then did the old patriarch slowly open his eyes, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "This is indeed the case." ”

Shen Shangxuan's face turned pale suddenly, in fact, whether he had anything in front of him or not depended on the patriarch to decide. But as soon as the patriarch of this society opened his mouth, he admitted what Shen Qing said, which means that he, Shen Shangxuan, has been completely abandoned.

Zhixian turned to Shen Shangxuan again: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Today's lawsuit does not need a trial at all, in fact, it is just a formality. Shen Shangxuan, who is already a wasted person, no one will defend him, and the county knows this very well.

Shen Shangxuan's face was bloodless, with his current situation, it was actually like waiting for death, if he could, he felt that it was much better to give himself a kick to death than this.

"There's nothing to say, I've confessed to any sin, I just hope to give me a good time." Shen Shangxuan suddenly became very calm, and his expression returned to calm.

Zhixian looked at Shen Qing, obviously, now it was all up to his preferences, and what to do with it was up to Shen Qing to have the final say. Such a favor has always been very generous.

Shen Qing looked at Shen Shangxuan, but a trace of hesitation appeared on his face at this moment. Shen Shangxuan's helplessness at this moment is actually similar to how he was just kicked out of the Shen family.

When he was kicked out of the Shen family, Shen Qing also had the idea of dying. The so-called the higher you stand, the more painful you fall, which is the true portrayal of Shen Shangxuan at this moment.

A few days ago, he was the future patriarch of the Shen family, and the Shen family had to look at his face, but in the blink of an eye, he fell from the clouds to the ground, and became a waste who might not be able to take care of himself in his life.

To add insult to injury, Shen Shangxuan, who was in need of help at the moment, was abandoned by everyone, and it was a kind of torture to turn over and live without hope, and it was indeed much better to die for a hundred times.

"I can keep you if you want!" Shen Qing's words made everyone present feel incredible.

The old patriarch was even more surprised, looking at Shen Qing with a look of shock in his eyes!

The grievances between Shen Qing and Shen Shangxuan are clear to him. It can be said that Shen Shangxuan was able to suppress Shen Qing so openly, which was actually his acquiescence.

As the largest family in the local area, the patriarch of the Shen family naturally cannot be an ordinary person, but must also have a ruthless heart. In this turbulent and turbulent world, if the Shen family wants to survive for a long time, as the patriarch, if there is no means, how can he lead the Shen family to continue to be brilliant.

The winner is king, and only the most powerful person can serve as the patriarch, which is the rule that the Shen family has always continued. But today's scene made the old patriarch of the Shen family quite touched.

It also reminded him of the scene when he framed his siblings in order to become the patriarch, and thought of the two eldest brothers and younger brothers who were framed to death by him, and the old patriarch's face was slightly moved.

Shen Shangxuan also looked at Shen Qing in surprise, his face was incredulous, and he didn't reply for a long time. After a long time, I saw that he said with remorse on his face: "Maybe you should be the real helmsman of the Shen family, I was wrong!" ”

Suddenly, Shen Shangxuan turned to look at the old patriarch and said sharply, "You are also wrong, and you are the culprit." ”

After speaking, Shen Shangxuan suddenly laughed wildly. The laughter was full of remorse and unwillingness, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

The old patriarch's face changed slightly, but he still couldn't help but not complain to Shen Shangxuan, and after a while, he sighed lightly, nodded slightly with the magistrate, and left silently.

Shen Shangxuan finally chose to die, and Shen Qing did not pretend anymore and fulfilled him. personally fed him a full meal in the prison of the county government, and then Shen Shangxuan died of poison.

Shen Qing did the funeral for him, and no one from the Shen family came to mourn during this period. Shen Shangxuan's biological mother also disappeared during this period, and the entire Shen Mansion was as if there had never been such a person as Shen Shangxuan.

After Chen Jisheng went back, he told Mao Wenlong the whole story, and Mao Wenlong was also quite surprised by Shen Qing, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he told Chen Jisheng that he would accompany Shen Qing back to Shen's house tomorrow.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes that followed Mao Wenlong have all sprouted, and the corn has begun to spoil. Although it was carefully sown in the yard by Mao Wenlong, nearly half of it was still broken.
