Chapter 445: Alibi

The Wujin Shen family is not as palatial as the Shao family in Danyang, and the courtyard is deep. Shen Yingkui's parents died shortly after he got married, and he had no uncles and brothers. In the courtyard of the three entrances, the innermost one is where Shen Yingkui's wife Shao Shi and a son and a daughter live, the second is Shen Yingkui's study, and the wings on both sides are the various weapons he has accumulated over the years, and the large courtyard in the middle is considered a martial arts field. The main hall at the front is a place for formal guests, and the porches on both sides and the inverted rooms on both sides of the gate are for male servants.

In the whole house, there is only one gatehouse in the outer courtyard, which is responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the front yard, a cook and a scholar, two girls in the inner courtyard, and a nurse, which is considered to be very economical among the wealthy people in the Jiangnan area.

The population is simple, Shen Yingkui himself feels comfortable, and after inviting Wang Fulin to his study to sit down, he was about to make tea himself, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin not to sit, but directly reached out and pressed it on the teapot. He raised his head a little strangely, only to see Wang Fulin hesitate for a moment, and finally asked, "Brother Shen hasn't contacted your father-in-law since he left Danyang?" ”

Shen Yingkui's face suddenly changed slightly. Although he left Danyang in a negative mood, he did not meet or communicate with Shao Fang for more than a month, and the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law was reduced to the most freezing point, and he only hid it from his wife Shao Shi, but in all fairness, he did not reflect on himself. At least, he felt that as a son-in-law who had received a lot of help from his father-in-law, he should not just walk away after revealing the facts, but should persuade people to come back. At this moment, he put down his hand grabbing the tea leaves, and said with some bitterness: "Brother Wang Xian, I won't tell you." I want to go to Danyang in the near future. Persuade my father-in-law again. ”

"I just came from Danyang." Wang Fulin saw Shen Yingkui's eyes widen and looked at him. He simply said bluntly, "Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, came to Zhenjiang Prefecture to govern Dantu County and ordered your father-in-law to be taken. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yingkui couldn't believe his ears. He subconsciously raised his voice: "What did you say? ”

"Soon after you left, Lu Gongzi and I went to Yangzhou. Recently, the water of the Yellow River poured into the canal, the canal overflowed, and the land of Huaiyang became a water town. I heard that Governor Zhang was in Zhenjiang Mansion, so I went to ask for a meeting, hoping that he could help, but I happened to learn that your father-in-law Shao Fang was escorted from Danyang. Because Governor Zhang hinted that the Shao family had 10,000 stone of grain, I went to see him in prison, and I planned to buy 10,000 stone of grain from him for 5,000 taels of silver, and hand it over to you when the time comes, so that even if the Shao family's property is confiscated, it will be enough for you to raise your brother-in-law Shao Yi......"

"Stop, you wait a minute. Wait a minute! ”

Shen Yingkui had to stop Wang Fulin and kneaded his temples vigorously with his thumb and little finger. But the man stumbled down in his chair. The shock of hearing the news suddenly has been covered by Wang Fulin's detailed explanation. Although he doesn't like officialdom, he is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have Shao Fang's blue eyes and a wife. He has already woken up to the fact that his father-in-law's catastrophe is because of Gao Gong's resignation, but in the final analysis, if it weren't for Lei Jigu's sea fishing documents in Huguang, and his father-in-law set off such a big incident in Huizhou, I'm afraid that the next revenge may be very ruthless and will not come so quickly.

In this sense, the father-in-law will end up in prison, which is undoubtedly inseparable from Wang Fulin. However, could he blame Wang Fulin for this?

He hugged his head all of a sudden, but at this moment, Wang Fulin dropped another piece of news that caught him off guard even more than just now.

"When I set off from Danyang in the morning, a soldier guarding the Shao family came to report that the Dantu sent a letter and asked people to escort Shao Fang's two companions who never left him to the Dantu, and they were executed together with Shao Fang at noon today."

What time is it?

Lu Guangwu jumped up from the chair almost all of a sudden, rushed to the door like crazy, and opened the door, but what he saw was that the sky had completely darkened. His pupils contracted suddenly, and then he staggered back a few steps, even with the steady pace of his martial arts training since childhood, he couldn't control his body at all at this moment, and he was almost paralyzed to the ground. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

It's too late...... It's too late anyway! Even if he really had the courage to do it, it would be impossible to undo what had happened, not to mention that he didn't have the courage to rob the Dharma Field!

He didn't even know how Wang Fulin dragged him up and how he pressed him to a chair to sit down. When he finally came to his senses, he stared at Wang Fulin fiercely and asked word by word: "You came to Wujin on purpose just to tell me this?" ”

"That's right, with the excuse of asking you how to settle the payment for the 10,000 stone grain, I did come to tell you about it. You don't have to stare at me, just those few lives in Huguang, Shao Fang died innocently, and the same is true for those two servants, as for leading the group to rob Kou Huizhou, if it weren't for luck, it would be a mortal crime. As for how he incited traitors to kill people and kill people, and hijacked me to flee when things were not in harmony, I don't want to repeat it. Seeing that Shen Yingkui's face was blue and white, and he wanted to get angry but was a little depressed, Wang Fulin suddenly changed his words and said, "But your brother-in-law, but the three-year-old Shao Yi is innocent." ”

Shen Yingkui snorted coldly, and his slightly dull eyes suddenly became sharp. He realized what Wang Fulin meant in an instant, and immediately rushed out without saying a word, but when he arrived at the door, he was dragged by Wang Fulin. He turned his head angrily and shouted angrily: "Don't tell me that someone is trying to assassinate Shao Yi in order to stop me from saving people!" ”

"How to save it? The city gate has been closed, and Wujin has reached Danyang for more than 100 miles, and it will take at least a day and night to come and go! ”

"Just the city walls, I'll just climb out! I have a good horse on the grange outside the city, and it is not a problem to go back and forth to Danyang overnight! ”

Seeing that Shen Yingkui was about to break free from himself when he said this, Wang Fulin burst out with the last question: "Well, what if someone asks him afterwards, what about your alibi?" ”

Shen Yingkui heard these five words in a fog, and immediately asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"To put it simply. It's someone else who tracks it down after the fact. What do you have to prove that you are in Wujin tonight? Of course, I can give you a personal testimony. After all, Shao Fang and I used to have a grudge, but what if others still don't believe me? ”

After Wang Fulin explained, Shen Yingkui's angry impulse suddenly turned into boundless calmness. He still has a wife and children, even if he has the heart to keep the blood of his sons-in-law, he can't ignore them. He quickly thought about it for a while, and finally looked at Wang Fulin and said, "Brother Wang Xian, you have a grudge against your father-in-law, but you can still give me a message." This affection, this friendship, I Shen Yingkui, and I feel five guilty. Don't tell lies in front of real people, I'm going to go to the government to have a drink now, can you go with me and spend the night in the government after getting drunk? ”

Seeing that Shen Yingkui understood what he meant, Wang Fulin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed. He is not such a righteous person, but the rise and fall of the Shao family has really touched his most sensitive nerves, and Shen Yingkui's temperament is really very good for his spleen and stomach, even Lu Guangwu is full of praise, he became a good person at a moment's notice. As for the three-year-old child. If history doesn't change, wait until it grows up. Whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao, they are all dead, and with Shen Yingkui here, he is not worried about the possibility of that kid taking revenge on his head at all.

As rumored in the market, the Changzhou Mansion Yasu Tuiguan and Shen Yingkui are indeed very good friends, and Shen Yingkui, who was holding a jar of wine in one hand, did not report at all, so he took Wang Fu Lin Dengtang into the room. After greeting each other, he introduced Wang Fulin's identity, and when he saw that Su Tuiguan immediately changed his appearance, after he introduced people to the past, he directly asked the little servant to bring a big bowl, and then opened the mud seal and poured it for himself, and then drank it all.

Seeing this scene, Su Tuiguan only felt puzzled, and when he saw that Wang Fulin did not persuade him, he took the initiative to pour a bowl for Shen Yingkui, and he was even more confused. Seeing that this student of the mansion who he had always admired drank seven or eight bowls of wine in one go, and his blushing face was drunk, he finally couldn't help but pull Wang Fulin and asked, "Wang Gongzi, Xiao Shen, what's going on?" ”

"That's a long story." Taking advantage of Shen Yingkui's slow drinking, Wang Fulin whispered Shao Fang's matter as quickly as possible, and saw that Su Tuiguan showed such a regretful expression, so he continued, "It is said that Shao Fang and I still have a lot of festivals, but I admire Brother Shen's character quite a lot, so when I saw that he was going to come to Su Tuiguan for a drink after learning the news, I volunteered to accompany him." Now that things have happened, it is useless for me to wait for outsiders to explain, so it is better to accompany Brother Shen to have a few more drinks, and ask Su Tuiguan to help with this. ”

Su Tuiguan has some understanding of the court situation, although Wang Fulin did not elaborate on the festival with Shao Fang, but he only listened to Shen Yingkui's introduction to Wang Fulin's origin, and he could guess a few points, so at this moment he thought he understood everything, out of his consistent appreciation for Shen Yingkui, plus Shen Yingkui was only a student of the government, and he had always shown signs of unintentional career, so he also pushed the boat and said: "Isn't it just borrowing wine to kill your sorrows?" Anyway, with our two old friends, Xiao Shen can also get drunk and rest. It's just a father-in-law, not a father, just wake up tomorrow morning! ”

But when he actually drank it, Su Tui officially found that he was facing two buffaloes! Shen Yingkui just drinks like water, and Wang Fulin is the same, and he still sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman there with a big tongue. His last bit of consciousness only remembered that at the moment when he was drunk and fell down, he finally saw Shen Yingkui lying on the table, obviously unable to hold it at all.

It wasn't until this time that Wang Fulin, who poured water into his chest like a trick while drinking, was relieved. He pretended to be drunk, and hurriedly went outside to call the servants of the Su family in, while letting them settle Su Tuiguan, and on the other hand, letting them see that he helped a drunk Shen Yingkui out of the house, and he couldn't move without taking two steps, and finally had to borrow a guest room from the government office, saying that he would go back early tomorrow morning. After everything was settled and the door was closed, he immediately blew out the light, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Shen Yingkui, who was lying on the bed, had already gotten out of bed.

"If I don't come back early in the morning, Brother Wang Xian, you will say that you don't know anything after you sleep at night, and everything will only be pushed on me!" Shen Yingkui said as he quickly took out the leggings from his arms and tied them on his calves, then stood up and said, "When the time comes, please take care of my wife and children at home." ”
