The sound of firecrackers is the old year, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the new year.

The father and son got up on the first and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, and after offering to their ancestors and eating the first breakfast of the New Year, they silently kowtowed to their father and took a red envelope. I wanted to sleep again, but I was pushed out by Shen He and asked him to go to his relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

"Why don't you go?" He has been used to the New Year in the past two years, and now he is back in the world, and he is really not used to it.

"I'm going to be at home, waiting for someone else to come and pay New Year's greetings to our family." Shen He is a serious way.

'It's not like you're going to sleep secretly, is it?' As for whether someone would come to the door, Shen Mo was deeply skeptical.

If you are not happy, you will not be happy, the etiquette will still be fulfilled, and you will have to go out to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, most of his division commander's relatives lived in a Taimen, and Shen Mo kowtowed to Master Shen first to greet the New Year and received a red envelope...... Then he found that his generation was really old enough, in addition to the seventy or eighty who were his peers, some old men in their fifties and sixties also kowtowed to him.

He deeply doubted that these people were looking at themselves and wanted to take the opportunity to defraud them of red envelopes. But it was not easy to investigate in detail during the Chinese New Year, so I had to take out the red envelope prepared by my father from my arms, and said with a kind face while distributing it: "Really good, really good......"

After looting the red envelope in his hand, the crowd dispersed with a hula, silently straightened his clothes, sighed lightly, and walked out of the hall and in the direction of the east school.

The school for the New Year is naturally suspended, but Mr. Shen still lives here, although the two still don't deal with each other, but when they get to the ground, they don't give Mr. New Year's greetings, it's really impossible to say.

To be honest, Shen Mo really didn't want to see Shen Lian's black face, and he frowned coldly at himself all day long, and spoke coldly. Now it has developed to the point that no matter how good the mood is, as soon as he sees him, he will soak in the soup.

But at the same time, Shen Mo is also grateful to him in his heart, following Mr. Shen over the years, he is familiar with the Five Classics and Four Books, and he understands the true meaning of the scriptures thoroughly, and he has eaten all the annotations of Cheng Zhu Cai Hu and others.

According to Shen Mo's thoughts, after reading the Four Books and Five Classics, he should read another manuscript of Wang Shouxi, and then start to learn to do 'breaking the topic', 'comparing the topic of the lecture', 'comparing the topic of the lecture', 'comparing the middle and the whole article' and so on. Who knew that Mr. asked him to read the articles hard, up to the pre-Qin, to the Song and Yuan dynasties, not only the Confucianism family, but even the articles of the pre-Qin princes, also let him understand and memorize, for half a year, loaded with a belly of subsets of scriptures and histories, resulting in his long-term loss of appetite, and his body became slimmer.

But Mr. Shen just didn't teach him the most useful Shiwen, although Shen Mo didn't say it, his heart was already anxious, he secretly made up his mind, this time he took the opportunity of the New Year's greetings, and he had to ask anyway - the county test is going to be next month, and he doesn't plan to teach me to do eight shares?

After thinking about it, he silently arrived outside the door of the school, but saw two men wearing hats to cover their faces, black coats, and narrow and slightly curved straight-ridged sabers on their waists, standing at the door with their heads held high.

Shen Mo was secretly surprised, and he didn't know what was going on, so he walked over casually, smiled and said, "The two of you are invited, I don't know if you can go in." ”

A man in black on the left glanced him up and down, his eyes were as cold and dangerous as a poisonous snake, and it was uncomfortable to look silent. After reading it, he looked ahead and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Shen Mo had no choice but to ask again, "Is it okay?" ”

"If you don't retreat, you won't be killed." The black-clothed man on the left narrowed his eyes, revealing his white teeth.

After being silent, there was a chill on his spine, and he could feel the disregard for life from the other party's gaze, so he had to quickly retreat.

After walking far away, I turned back, only to see the two men in black still standing there.

Shen Mo hurriedly went to find Master Shen, just as he finished accepting the New Year's greetings and rested in the side hall. Ignoring the etiquette, Shen Mo covered the door with his backhand, and said softly: "Sir, there is an accident there, there are two men in black with swords standing at the door." ”

Master Shen trembled slightly, and then regained his composure and said, "What kind of knife?" ”

"Some resemble a sword, but the spine is straight, unlike a sword, which is curved, and it is also slightly shorter than a sword." Shen Mo recalled softly.

Master Shen closed his eyes slightly, and it took a long time to spit out three words: "Embroidered spring knife." ”

"Jin Yiwei?" The silent voice trembled involuntarily...... This nationwide institution, which can stop children's night crying, is marked by flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives.

Master Shen nodded solemnly and said, "Yes...... They're still coming. "These people came and went without a trace, and when they came to the courtyard of the Shen family, he didn't even know it, and he shuddered when he thought about it.

"Did the gentleman commit an accident?" Silent head buzzed, and his heart was full of terrible words like 'Ti Cai', 'edict', and 'torture'.

"That's not." Master Shen didn't laugh at Shen Mo's gaffe, if someone didn't change his face in the face of Jinyiwei, then he would either have a will to die, or he would be phlegm. I saw that his face was unprecedentedly solemn and said, "They asked your master to be an official." ”

Mr. Shen, who had an old-fashioned face, immediately appeared in his mind, wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while. It took a long time before he whispered, "Mr. is a scholar, how can he get involved with those people?" ”

"Alas......" Master Shen sighed, covered his face with his hands and said, "They all blame me." ”

Shen was silent, looking at Master Shen's self-reproach, he heard him say for a long time: "That's it, my Shen family will have to fall on you in the future, or make it clear, so that you can have a sense of proportion." ”

Shen Mo nodded and said softly, "I'll listen." ”

"It's been four years since your master came home." Master Shen asked him to sit opposite him and said in a low voice: "Twenty-seven months of service, it's been another year and a half, do you know why he is still staying at home?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't know." ”

"In fact, two years ago, there was a letter from the Ministry of Officials asking him to go to Beijing to serve as the head of the Criminal Department, but I forced him and didn't let him go back." Master Shen said with a sad face: "Now the saint is dedicated to cultivating the mysteries, and he allows the court to destroy people, and the smoke is miasma. So that the villain is rampant, the righteous person can't get a foothold, you also know your teacher's surname, if you enter the capital, I'm afraid the next stop is not the prison cell of Dali Temple, or the edict of Jinyiwei. ”

Shen Mo nodded slightly, thinking deeply.

Friendly reminder, the Jinyi Guard, Dongchang, and the Master of Ceremonies in this book have all been verified through a lot of research and restored to the original appearance of the Jiajing period, this work took me a day, don't refute me in film and television works, the monk will be sad......

In addition, to reiterate, our pursuit is to pass on the god of history, not to write history books, so there are some small discrepancies in time, just for the story to be more densely conflicted, but the specific events and characters will not be distorted. After reading this book, you can tell others what kind of person you are, because all historical figures and events are written down after the monks consulted a lot of information and repeatedly scrutinized.
