However, Mrs. Shen on the side was in tears and said, "Master, you can't let Tingyu die in vain like this, master!" ”

"Tingyu is filial piety to save his father, keeping the promise is faith, and it is loyalty to die rather than escape. If the adult sentences Tingyu to death in prison, he will live next to the prison for the rest of his father's life; If the adult sentences Tingyu to death, then the father will guard Tingyu's grave for the rest of his life! Shen Wanchuan said sonorously.

Shen Tingyu cried and said: "Father, mother, mother......"

The three of them hugged each other and cried, but the sadness was a little stronger than this night.

Shen Tingyu can be said to be Mrs. Shen's heart, and even looks more important than her own life, how can she bear to watch him die? So after returning to the room, she immediately began to write to her brother, hoping that he could help Shen Tingyu.

"Madam, don't beg him, he won't agree to save Tingyu." Shen Wanchuan on the side persuaded.

"Even if that's the case, I'm going to give it a try."

"Alas, he thinks that Lord Yue's death is all our fault, and he hates us to the core, so how can he hope that he will help Tingyu clear his name."

"But who else can we ask for? He is the king of Pan, who holds the power of the army! ”

Hearing this, Shen Wanchuan also had to be silent, it is true that only this King Pan can save Shen Tingyu now.

......

Early the next morning, the officials who came to arrest Shen Tingyu arrived at the door of Shen's house early.

Mrs. Shen begged them, "Please wait a little longer, and let Tingyu have another breakfast." ”

The officials were afraid of delaying time, but Mrs. Shen begged again and again, and it was not easy to refuse, but when she thought of the importance of official business, she had to refuse ruthlessly.

"Mrs. Shen, if you drag it any longer, I'm afraid that Lord Yu will be angry, so let's ask Shen Gongzi to come with us now." A servant said.

"Everybody......

"Madame, no more." Shen Wanchuan on the side persuaded.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Wanchuan, and then at Shen Tingyu, who came out of the house, and was already crying.

Shen Tingyu came to his parents and knelt down, choked up and said: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he will no longer be able to serve the second elder in the future. ”

Mrs. Shen was already crying, and the people around her were all moved.

Then these officials escorted Shen Tingyu to the public court, and at this time in the public court, I saw Lord Yu sitting on the official chair in the center, and the county magistrate was still standing behind Yu Tong.

Syllable! "Ascension!" Lord Yu slapped the shocking wood.

"I won't talk nonsense here, Shen Tingyu, this official has a lot of evidence here to prove that you have privately bribed many officials, and the amount of bribes is as much as tens of thousands of taels of silver, Shen Tingyu, are you guilty?"

"Lord Hui, Tingyu is guilty and willing to be punished." Shen Tingyu calmly pleaded guilty.

"Okay, you confessed calmly, and the official also admires you, but because this case involves many officials, the official decided to play the emperor first, ask the emperor to decide, and you will stay in the prison for a few days."

"Yes, sir." Then the officials put Shen Tingyu in prison.

......

A few days later, Yu Tong personally took the wine and food and went to the prison to visit Shen Tingyu.

In front of Shen Tingyu's prison, Yu Tong asked him: "Shen Tingyu, have you ever regretted it, if you took the right path to save your father, then you would not have ended up in such a field?" ”

"Alas, maybe this is fate, Lord Yu, you say that if I go the right way, then my father's case can still be delayed until your arrival?" Shen Tingyu asked rhetorically.

"Alas, it's too late to say anything now, the holy decree has come down today, do you want to know the emperor's verdict?"

"With so many officials involved, and it just so happens that the emperor wants to rectify the rule of officials, isn't this the best opportunity to make an example?"

"Looks like you're mentally prepared."

Yu Tong paused, glanced at Shen Tingyu, and continued: "The emperor is furious, the former governor, who is also Li Wen's cousin, took bribes and sold officials, and was sentenced to be executed; Considering that he was old, the former Taishou was only removed from his official position and assigned to the frontier. ”

"What about the prefectural commander?" Shen Tingyu asked.

"He? He was originally a faint official, but he knew how to protect himself, and reported several corrupt officials at once, and finally only removed him from his official position and gave him a thirty-rod. However, at his age, thirty boards are enough for him. ”

"That's what I did to him." Shen Tingyu blamed himself.

"He's also self-inflicted, and the money he receives isn't just yours."

"Aren't you curious about how you judged?" Yu Tong asked again.

"Hahaha...... I'm afraid I'm going to die. Shen Tingyu laughed at himself and said.

"The emperor's original words were: 'Shen Tingyu is young, he dares to bribe many officials, although it is excusable, but the crime is unforgivable, and his head must be used to warn future generations that the law of the country is like a mountain and cannot be transgressed.'" ”

"It's not a pity for me to die, it's just the second eldest ...... in the family"

"I'm afraid that the second elder of your family has already been implicated."

"Ah, what? I am guilty of a crime, what does it have to do with my parents! To implicate them? Shen Tingyu was shocked.

"The emperor said that your parents had no way to teach their children, which led you to ignore the law of the country and cause a serious crime. So the decree was raided on your home, and your parents are now temporarily living in Hanyuanjiang's house. ”

When Shen Tingyu heard this, he began to cry bitterly and said, "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and it will affect you. ”

"There is one more thing, I have thought about it for a long time, and I think it is better to tell you."

Yu Tong looked in a dilemma, as if he was worried about something, but he finally said, "It's just your mother......"

"What happened to my mother?" Shen Tingyu asked anxiously.

"On the day the decree arrived, your mother learned that you had been sentenced to death, and your home was raided.

"Mother...... Woohoo......"

Shen Tingyu cried and pleaded: "Lord Yu, I beg you to let me go out to meet my mother, I swear that I will never run away." I beg you, Lord Yu, ......"

Shen Tingyu knelt in front of the adult, constantly kowtowing, even if he was bleeding, he didn't know it.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you, you are now a death row prisoner appointed by the emperor, except for the emperor, no one dares to let you out." Yu Tong closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see Shen Tingyu's next appearance.

At this time, Shen Tingyu sat paralyzed on the ground, and kept muttering: "Mother, mother, mother......"

Yu Tong called him a few times, saw that he seemed to be stupid, sighed again and again and left.

At this time, in the cold mansion, Mrs. Shen was lying on the bed, angry. Occasionally, when he is conscious, all he says is: "Tingyu, Tingyu, Tingyu......"

Han Yuanjiang looked at Shen Wanchuan, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, shook his head helplessly, and persuaded, "Brother Xian...... Brother and sister, she is afraid that she is about to die, so it is better to inform her mother's family as soon as possible. ”
