As soon as the two words Xu Xun came out, there was a real uproar in the huge ancestral hall courtyard. Whether it is doubtful, gloating, suspicious, or scornful...... No matter what mood and expression, almost everyone was pulling the people next to them to talk about it, only the few elders who had seats, and Xu Xun, who was standing there alone, didn't say a word.

"You just said that you are a stable woman, where are you from? Where have you always lived? ”

Xu Zhen, who had been silent since he had just come, finally stood up and spoke, as soon as these two faint questions came out, seeing that the surroundings were quiet, he didn't wait for the horse-faced woman to answer, and suddenly sneered: "This stable woman in Jinling City is one hundred and eighty, who asked you to come here today to say this?" Although the second brother was a little famous back then, it was not yet known to the whole city, and everyone knew that Xiao Qi was brought back by the second brother when he returned to Jinling, how did you become the second brother who asked you to deliver the baby? As for those records, they are all casually visible to those who have a heart, and God knows if you are hearsay! ”

Xu Zhen went from an official to an official, and he was dealing with the case files all day long, and he didn't know how much he had read all kinds of sophistry. Even if it was Master Xu, who had already taken precautions, seeing that most of the people in front of him were not humming or hauling at once, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, and when he pressed the table and wanted to stand up and make a sound, he didn't expect Xu Zhen to sit down slowly. However, in stark contrast to the sitting posture, it was sharper than before.

"If you talk nonsense, you don't have to bother others, I directly took you to respond to the Tianfu Ya, and see how many sentences of your confession are true under Miki!"

Xu Zhen just sat silently, looking at him as just an elder in the clan, but as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, not only the horse-faced woman was silent, but more people remembered that this person was the only one in the Xu clan now, and they all remembered that they had congratulated this one on his promotion a few days ago. So, even Master Xu San, who wanted to stand up and help him say a few words, thought twice, and sat back on the butt that left the chair, not to mention others. And Master Xu only felt that his face was blue and white, and he became more and more restless, and the corner of his eye swept to a corner unconsciously. Finally, he waited for a voice like fairy music.

"The biological mother is unknown, it turns out that her identity is unknown, and it is Brother Xu Zhen who moved out of Daming Law, and it is also written on it."

The voice came out of a scribe in a green shirt of forty or fifty. Although he is almost dressed and has a similar figure, but at this time, this person walked out like this, and there was an indescribable demeanor in his description. Even Xu Zhen was alone, looking at this person who came out, he secretly prepared the second half of the sentence for a long time, but he couldn't say a word for a while, and even had an unspeakable suspicion.

"Zhao give something!"

Master Xu's heart finally fell, and at this time, he hurriedly left his seat and stepped forward to take a deep sigh: "It's rare for you to come here to give you some advice, but I didn't expect to encounter the Xu clan's affairs, and you have been wronged for waiting in the side house for so long." It's just a trivial matter, why don't you give this engineering ...... in the matter"

"It's all old friends, Brother Xu doesn't mind if I interfere in the internal affairs of your clan."

Zhao Qin interrupted Master Xu's words with a smile, and when he saw that everyone in the audience, including Xu Zhen, stood up, he nodded reservedly, and then said unhurriedly: "There are clear texts on the laws of the Ming Dynasty, one is good and low, and the other is not allowed to commit annihilation." Although Xu Bian said that he also had a good reputation, he didn't know who the biological mother of this son was, so he couldn't guarantee this matter. Even so, allowing this son to be the heir of Xu Bian, even if it is not confusing the bloodline, at least it is not a good thing. In other words, when Xu Xun's name was put on the yellow register of household registration, it was already Xu Bian who defied the law! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Yu, who had the heart to protect him, was choked and gasped at this time, not to mention the other Xu clan people around. Although they are all officials of the imperial court, they are only seven grades in engineering, and they are only on the same level as Xu Zhen's Ying Tianfu experience, but as long as they are older, they know the difference.

Nanjing Engineering is a Nanjing official, commonly known as Nanke, although it is not the most proud, but as long as there is a big guy who appreciates it, he is promoted to Beijing to go around in the six departments, and then boil up for a while, it is very likely to be unspeakably expensive, which is like Xu Zhen or just began to struggle?

Xu Xun just learned about the existence of the Jurong Zhao family a few days ago, although he inquired about some information through Huitong, a figure from the former West Factory, but when they really met, it was completely different from hearsay. Seeing Zhao Qin standing with his back like this, the Xu family around him was all intimidated by that kind of momentum, and even Xu Zhen was choked speechless by his fluttering call, he calmed down, and took a step forward quietly.

"What Zhao Zhishi means is that the kid shouldn't be on the Xu family tree?"

Zhao Qin turned around at this time, looked at Xu Xun with a smile for a moment, and then said lightly: "The eldest and youngest, the etiquette is great." It doesn't matter if you are Ling Zun's son, or if you are not his own child, the four words of the biological mother are already ironclad. Even if according to the meaning of Xu Erye to bring you back back back then, you are under his name, but the heir has no basis and no basis for the law. Besides, I've heard that you didn't want to be enterprising and behaved indifferently, but you dare to say that you didn't? ”

This condescending question was harsh in Xu Xun's ears, but when the people around him heard it, some were relieved, some gloated, some admired and praised, and some stopped talking. Seeing that the sixth uncle Xu Zhen in the other side squirmed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but always had some scruples, Xu Xun smiled and raised his head frankly.

"That's right, I was confused. One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and looking back on his life for a hundred years, the kid doesn't want to justify the mistakes of the past. It's just that my lord is a court official, and I can't listen to me when I stand in front of the Son of Man and accuse my father of not being it! Despise the law, my father can't afford it! ”

Xu Xun didn't care about the frightened expressions of the people around him, just looked at Zhao Qin motionlessly. Seeing that this person frowned slightly, and the next moment it seemed that he was about to show the prestige of an official, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Shibo, have you seen it, they don't even let go of my father's reputation!" ”

This sound not only made Master Xu's face change suddenly, but even Zhao Qin remembered Mr. Luo's words before. As for Xu Zhen, he put down a big stone in his heart, looked out sideways, but saw two people swaying and carrying a green cloth sedan chair into the door, and stopped at the door with such a loud roar.

"Brother Zhao wants to say that there is no basis for reason, there is no basis for the law, and he keeps saying what the law is, then I might as well argue with you. There is a law in the Ming Dynasty that it is illegal to establish a son-in-law, which is indeed clearly written, and it is begging to raise a righteous son with a different surname, and those who mess with the clan will have a rod of sixty. If a son is the heir of a person with a different surname, the sin is the same, and the son is returned to the sect. But there is another sentence in the back, the abandoned child is under the age of three, although he has a different surname, he still listens to the adoption, that is, from his surname. Let me ask you, how old was Xu Xun when he brought it back for Xu Bian? At that time, there were people in the Xu family who said two words, but some people questioned it? He was still in infancy when he was brought back, even if he was not the biological son of Second Brother Xu, or as an adopted son, he was also ironclad. No one spoke at the time, but now there are so many opinions, it's a joke! ”

Although Zhao Qin keeps saying that he is a good lawyer, he is in the middle of the engineering department and not in the criminal department, and even if he is in the middle of the criminal department, where is the effort to study the criminal name, therefore, being smashed by this sudden question, he suddenly felt as if Xu Zhen had just touched him and was caught off guard, and he was suddenly stuck. And the person in the green cloth sedan chair did not stop there, but his words became more and more harsh.

"Second Brother Xu used to be righteous and squandered money, and the neighbors benefited a lot, but now he has not heard from him for many years, Xu Xun, an orphan, was squeezed so much that he didn't even have a place to live, this Xu family, don't stay! Xu Xun, come here, take the letter from Second Brother Xu back then, and give it to all the elders and this Lord Zhao to take a good look! ”

Quickly stepped forward to the green cloth sedan chair to receive the letter, Xu Xun turned around and walked to Master Xu, and presented it to him with both hands. Although Master Xu was ugly, he still took it, but he didn't know if he was too nervous or too annoyed, and he couldn't open the seal several times, but in the end, Xu Dong helped, and he finally pulled out the thin piece of letterhead from it. There were only a few large characters with old ink on the huge letterhead, which looked quite dazzling at a glance, but it was really Xu Bian's handwriting.

At this time, the person in the sedan chair seemed to be afraid that others would not see the content of the letter, and said word by word: "Second Brother Xu should write clearly and clearly in the letter: Zixun is young and begs to take care of it." If the relatives in the clan are not kind, they should restore their mother's surname, and they can also be out of the clan. It's just that I was negligent before, but I didn't expect the son of the old man to be forced to this field! ”

"Shi Bo is serious, he was originally a fool, and this is the truth."

Hearing this, looking at the old man Xu, whose face was blue and white for a while, and glanced at Zhao Qin, who did not come up to read the letter on the side, but his face was very bad, Xu Xun stood for a moment and then turned around, looked at the people in all directions and said: "Since my father has not heard from me for many years, I have written I don't know how many letters, but unfortunately I can't take any of them out, and I often entrust the elders and brothers in the clan to find them, but they are all cold words. Now that my uncles accuse me of not being my father's son, I have nothing to say. My father's letter has made it clear, and you don't want to come and say that you are an eyesore to see me again. It's just that even if I am not a member of the Xu family in Taiping from now on, my father is my father after all, and I still have one thing I can do for my father! ”

He took out several pieces of paper from his arms at once, and said word by word: "In response to the drought in many places in Chuzhou and Zhou, the imperial court is recruiting people to build water conservancy, so that the rich families in various places are happy to lose money and grain. In addition, the Ying Tianfu Tribute Institute has been in disrepair for many years, and the government is also accepting donations from wealthy households. For these two things, I have donated all the land in my father's name, and I want to come to the court to reward him, and if my father is still here, he may be able to come back; If my father really suffered, he could be comforted! ”
