Chapter 748: Sunset (Part II)
I saw a figure shaking at the entrance of the village, but when Shen and his party approached, they disappeared again. "Obviously hiding from us." Hu Yong muttered. "Go to the ancestral hall." Shen looked at the scattered footprints left on the snow and frowned in disgust. Everyone came to the Yan clan ancestral hall in the center of the village, and when they saw that the gate was still closed, a guard went up and knocked on the door. But no one responded for a long time, so Shen coldly ordered: "Crash away!" Without hesitation, the guards took a few steps back, slammed their shoulders into the gate, and with a loud thud, the closed door was slammed open. I saw two middle-aged people, sitting on the ground with a stunned face, and they seemed to be frightened. A group of mermaids entered, Shen ignored the two people, and went straight into the Yan family ancestral hall, entering the door is two stele pavilions, the left side stands "Yan clan ancestral hall" stele in it, the right stele vacancy one by one r one by one again into the instrument door, hanging on the 'Huangjia family, the plaque, through the instrument door is a wide patio, the patio is the Yongdao, there are corridors on both sides, there are beautifully carved stone railings.
Walking along the road into the main hall of the second entrance, the plaques on the main hall and the couplets on both sides no longer exist, which are obviously related to Yan Song. Seeing that the ancestors of the Yan family were enshrined in the main hall, Shen cleaned his hands, put on the incense, and said to the steward who followed up: "Are all the noble ancestors listed here?" The steward was shocked and nodded, "Yes." "Why don't you see Yazhonggong?" Shen Yu's gaze swept over the tablet, obviously lacking. The steward naturally knew about Shen Yu's question, but he didn't know what this person was, so he didn't dare to answer. "My family is a southeast longitude." Hu Yong put Lao Yan Song on the chair and patted the dust on his body and said, "It's okay for you to talk about it." Seeing that Hu Yong was wearing a four-grade military general's robe, as well as the tiger's back and bear's waist and his lively posture, he didn't mean that this was a high-ranking official's guard, so he hurriedly sighed and kowtowed to Shen.
"Get up and speak." Shen said lightly: "This official passed by Guixiang and made a special trip to visit the old Yuanfu ......" said and looked at the old man Yan who was focusing on fiddling with the lynx skin, and sighed: "I really can't imagine that you treat ...... like this" The steward was so ashamed that he was embarrassed, first kowtowed to Yan Song, choked up, and said: "We are really forced to ......be helpless" and turned to Shen and said: "At first, the county sealed his mansion, and we let him live in the ancestral hall, and each family took turns to deliver meals every day, with a single summer and cotton in winter, and never neglected the old man." But from the beginning of autumn, the county suddenly became strict, and every once in a while, someone came down to watch, and he was not allowed to live again, otherwise the ancestral hall would be sealed. And whoever dares to take in the old man will be regarded as a strict party, and he will be detained without saying anything, if there is no money to ransom people, he will collect the corpse...... There are already several families in the village who have died, and the villagers really don't dare......" Shen frowned and listened to him crying for a while, then looked at the tablet and asked, "Could it be that they ...... Not even the tablet of Heng Zhonggong is allowed? "Hengzhong Gong is called Yan Mengheng, is the ancestor of Yan Bird, once made a province of feudal officials, honest celebrities for hundreds of generations, even the officials of the Jiajing Dynasty are known.
"Don't ......" The steward shook his head and said: "Starting from this spring, everything related to Xiangye must disappear, not only the ancestral tablets of their line, but even the plaques, inscriptions, and banners in this ancestral hall must also be put away, if they see it, they will be charged with strict party crimes." Shen glanced at Lao Yan Song with his spare eyes, and saw that his veteran hand playing with Da Yu was slightly flickered, and then returned to normal again...... Hmph" Shen Mingchen on the side couldn't help but snort angrily and said: "What is the difference between them and Yan Dang if they bend the law and fabricate charges?" Who they were referring to, everyone knew by heart. There was silence in the ancestral hall, and Shen looked at the ancestors of the Yan family, and said lightly: "There is a way that is not as good as the ancestors" Not to mention that Yan Ge Lao is also dedicated to his hometown fathers, and he wants to invite his ancestors' tablets back. After a pause, he glanced at the casual old Yan Song and said: "And Yan Ge Lao, if you still have a little conscience, you must also take care of it, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace." ”
The steward hurriedly said: "We are naturally willing, but I'm afraid that the county master will not will." "Hmph" Shen Mingchen scolded: "You are so ignorant, my family is slightly bigger, or your county is bigger." "Of course, it's a little bigger," the steward hurriedly said: "Just ask the adults to inform the county master, don't blame us for this." "He is afraid that the county officials are not as good as the current management." Shen smiled faintly at Shen Mingchen, and turned to the steward: "You don't have to worry about this matter, there will be no more people from the government who can't get along with you." The steward was skeptical, but agreed. Who knew that Shen asked a little superfluously: "You just said that they were not too much, but it was suddenly like this in the autumn of this year?" "yes." The steward nodded and said, "I don't know what Wu Feng ...... on." Shen nodded, pondered for a moment, and his demeanor returned to normal. He walked up to Lao Yan Song, bowed to the end and said, "Lao Yuanfu can retire with peace of mind, and no one will come to harass you anymore." Yan Song raised his head, his eyes were still cloudy, but Shen could clearly see that the old eyes flashed with Xiyi's light. His lips moved, Shen didn't hear clearly, so he had to lean closer to his ear, and Old Yan Song moved his lips again, and now he understood that it was the word Yan Hu. Nodding, Shen said softly, "Wrap it up on me." "When I went back, it was getting dark. Shen has always been very calm, so Shen Mingchen had nothing to say: "What did Elder Yan Ge say?" "Guess what?" Shen said softly. "I guess you must be begging your grandparents to put his grandson back, right?"
Shen Mingchen said. Shen bowed his head and said, "Yes, what he said is 'Yan Hu #39; Two words. "It's really pitiful to say, Mrs. Ouyang has passed away, Yan Shifan and Yan Hong have been beheaded in Xishi, and the old Yan Song's closest relatives in this world are only Yan Hu left, and he was also sent to the frontier and was not allowed to return to his hometown." Shen Mingchen said: "I heard that Yan Ge Lao was still in the book and asked to let him come back to support his old age, but the court did not agree. In fact, as we all know, it was Xu Jie who did not agree, but considering the status of the other party and the adult's master and apprentice, Shen Mingchen did not name him. Shen nodded and didn't make a sound. "So,?" Yu Yin suddenly said in a loud voice: "Yan Ge is not crazy? Is it pretended? "What if you don't pretend?" Shen looked at the dark clouds condensed in the sky, and sighed in a loud voice: "In order to keep the last dignity, he can only do this." "Adults, students dare to say it, you don't have to be like this." Seeing that Shen was always in a low mood, Yu Yin said: "Yan Song has today, he really deserves it, not to mention that he is capturing power, bribes, forming a party for personal gain, and bringing disaster to the country and the people, just talk about Xia Yan, Yang Jisheng and others who he persecuted, as well as your teacher Shen Qingxiagong, these people are not worse than him?" If Yan Song is not severely punished, will the martyrs die? ”
"You're right." Shen nodded and said in a deep voice: "But Yan Hao has already paid the price, he is already ruined, his family is ruined, if he still feels that it is not enough, he will also take his old life." As he spoke, he spat out a sullen breath and said, "But you can't be persecuted without a bottom line!" Not to mention that he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years and the master of a hundred officials, just to take away everything from an old man, let him become the most lowly beggar, can not meet with relatives, and is not allowed to talk to the villagers, he can only live in a wooden house next to the ancestral grave, and make a living by stealing and eating other people's offerings! Shen Yu's mood fluctuated a little, but fortunately, the darkness blocked his flowers: "Shame, evil, under the banner of justice, can you do evil deeds?" I see that those self-proclaimed righteous people are just wearing a seemingly kind skin, and their hearts and livers are darker, more ruthless, and more poisonous than Yan Shifan! After following Shen for so long, in the impression of Yu Yin and Shen Mingchen, this young adult always has a gentle smile, speaks softly and slowly, and never moves the real fire. Even in the most urgent situation, he would only frown slightly and say, "What can I do?" ”
Even when he was shamelessly attacked by the courtiers, he would only say contemptuously: "Let them see how good I am!" "I've never seen him so angry. But somehow, the two of them felt even more that they were with the right person this time, even if they couldn't create an earth-shattering feat with this, this life was worth it. Back in Fenyi County, it was already completely dark. Seeing that Shen and his party finally came back, Lord Yicheng came out with a smile on his face: "You are back." Shen nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a man wearing a seven-grade official uniform, walking out of the courtyard, and looking at it, it turned out to be Zhang Shi, the commander of Fenyi County, everyone had taken pictures when they were in Beijing, Shen was such a hot character, and Zhang Shi was also famous all over the world because of the 'three sons of Renxu, and the two naturally knew each other." It turned out to be Lord Jingluo. "Zhang Sha" saw Shen Yu clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan, meet your lord." As he spoke, he slowly knelt down, bending his knees even slower than that of Old Yan Song. Don't look at this lion is only a mere seven grades, but his foundation is too thick, not only was he the head of the five grades of the criminal department, but also the great achievement of Yan Song, although he is now committed to the county order, but the world knows that this is Xu Ge Lao sent him to monitor Yan Song, because of this, he is more and more regarded as Xu Jie's henchman, and they all say that as soon as Yan Artemisia dies, it will be the day when he soars.
Therefore, even the governor and political envoy were very polite to him, and they were never bowed by him; As for the prefect, he is even more commensurate with his brother, and in the entire territory of Jiangxi, no one dares to give him a face. Over time, Zhang Lynx, who had a kind personality, also began to become arrogant, and he wanted to wait for Shen to help him, so as to avoid the pain of landing on his knees. Shen himself doesn't like to be kneeled, if he doesn't go to Jieqiao Village, he will not be disappointed, but at this moment, Lord Jinglu just stood there for a long time, admiring this slow kneeling salute with a playful demeanor. His knees were bent to a certain extent, and he naturally couldn't bear the weight, and as soon as Zhang Shi's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground suddenly, and he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain, and said in pain: "Knock on the lowly duty to see the commander." Shen smiled and said, "Get up." Let's talk in the room. When he got to the house, according to the rules, Zhang Shi had to bow again, this time he learned to be obedient, kowtowed happily, and after the big salute, Shen asked him to get up and talk back, but he didn't give him a seat. It is said that a small county order, in front of the master of Jingluo, can only stand, but Zhang Shi, who is used to being flattered, still feels a little uncomfortable...... Of course, there is only one point, who let Shen take charge of the six provinces and make new contributions? There was a smile on his face: "I heard that there was a Shangguan crossing the border, and the lower official visited after the government was closed, but I never expected that it was Lord Jingluo, it was really neglected, forgive the sin." ”
Shen picked up the teacup, a {! It turned out to be Lushan Yunmist, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, compared to earlier, it could be more than a grade higher, but his expression did not move at all: "This official loves to be quiet, if you make a big announcement, you don't like it." "Adults are honest, and the world knows it." The more Zhang Shi spoke, the more smoothly he said: "It is a model for the lower officials to learn." "Hehe, I can't think of it, I can't think of it......" Shen stared at him with interest, Zhang Shi who looked at it was secretly furious, and whispered: "What's wrong with the lower officials?" "I can't imagine that the power of time is so terrifying, it can change people beyond recognition" Shen just flicked the teacup and shook his head slightly. What my lord said ......" Zhang Shi was a little puzzled: "I don't know where to start?" ”
"Unexpectedly, the iron-clad minister who once risked death to speak out, has already understood the way to meet and welcome. Shen looked at him and said with a faint gaze: "Just as I couldn't have imagined, Lord Shoufu, who has been famous for many years, has become a beggar in the cemetery for food. These words are tantamount to opening the bow left and right, fanning the lion's eyes and starring, and I don't know which one to go back to first.
However, after all, he had seen a big scene, and he quickly calmed down, knowing that Shen was here to find the ballast, and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "What the adults teach is that the world is like this, if the lower officials are alone and proud of the world, they will never reach the height of the adults." There are words in the words, and the irony of Shen is not the same as bending over and destroying the eyebrows, so he has today's status?
Shen listened, his eyes widened slightly, looking this guy up and down, and after the initial temptation, he got the answer he wanted, and this guy was relying on someone above, and he didn't even pay attention to himself. Then he said lightly: "It's good to have momentum, but you can't just rely on momentum to do things, otherwise you will suffer." ”
Don't look at Zhang Shi's tough speech, but he really has no bottom in his heart, listening to Shen Shi's words, it seems to have a warning meaning, and he said that he can't sit still, so he took the initiative to attack: "I can get the teachings of adults" The lower officials are grateful, so they also reciprocate Li and say, you go to Jieqiao Village, there is something to be considered." "Oh, what's wrong?" Shen narrowed his eyes again and smiled slightly.
"Once this matter comes out, what will the adults of the DPRK and China think? What would your teacher think? "Zhang Shi's abacus is very fine, take out Xu Jie, and don't prompt Shen Yi, it depends on the master to beat the dog, you can't slap your teacher's face, right? So let's take your Yangguan Road, I'll cross my sniper bridge, don't try to bully me because you're big.
"Haha......" Shen was very angry and laughed = "Don't say the teacher, I'm not angry." Saying that, he looked at him coldly and said, "Yan Ge is always my teacher, who is it?" Is it his old boss for many years, or his children and grandchildren, but now he is reduced to loneliness, cemetery for food! How do people in the world think of me?! "Zhang Shi didn't expect Shen to say this, he was a little flustered for a while, and then listened to him's anger #39; "How much hatred do you have with my teacher?" "I didn't." Zhang Shi was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Fu rescued me from the barracks, and he only has great kindness and great virtue for me, how can there be hatred?!" "Then why are you so spewing against him!" Shen said with a cold light in his eyes: "Dare to ruin my teacher's reputation!" Say, who instigated it?! "No one instructed ......" Zhang Lynx; Anxious: "Oh no, I'm all according to Motosuke's meaning,:1!! lL…… r......""Dare to slander! Shen slapped the table and shouted, "Slap your mouth!" ”
Hu Yong had already seen him unpleasantly, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Shi's collar, snapped into two big mouths, and beat him into a pig's head, whining: "There is really no one to instruct, the lower official just wants to repay Shoufu from the heart." ”
"Fart!" Shen sneered and said: "Don't think that the emperor is far away here, and others can't see it, why didn't you do it when you first came to Fen Yi, and it took a year to get along with Yan Ge Lao?" Said with a mocking face: "Don't tell me that you are avoiding suspicion......" "I ......" Zhang Shi was stunned, unconsciously sweated on his forehead, and said with difficulty: "I don't understand what adults mean......
"I've said it many times." Shen Qiang's eyes were like swords, staring at Zhang Shi and said, "Who instructed you to frame Yuanfu?" ”
Although it was thirty-nine days, Zhang Shi's sweat fell to the ground, and he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Not only Zhang Shi, but Shen Mingchen and Yu Yin were also shocked, they originally thought that this was the persecution from Xu Jie, but now it seems that there is something else to hide......
"Don't say yes?" Shen said in a cold tone, "I'll write to Yuanfu and tell him what happened here...... Although Yuanfu has not many enemies, it is not nothing, he thinks about it casually, and he knows that there is a ghost hall in it......" said and shook his head slightly: "Good luck, Zhang Xian Ling......" Zhang Shi collapsed on the ground, looked at Shen with difficulty and said: "What do you want me to do?" ”
