Five, eighty-seven, coincidence and misfortune
Shen Shiyi's shouting was over, and suddenly there was the sound of footsteps in front of the mourning hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Guang wiped his sweat and walked back with a helpless expression.
In addition to him, the condolences guests who had just left also retreated with different expressions.
Shen Shiyi naturally saw this scene, and his heart jumped suddenly, could it be that there was any change, but I don't know, is this change good or bad?
He peeked at Du Gou'er, but Du Gou'er still smiled.
Then, the trembling voice of the master of ceremonies outside sounded again: "Ji ...... His Royal Highness King Ji came to mourn in person, and the filial son saluted......"
A team of Huaxia Army sergeants walked in separately from the left and right, and among them, Zhou Quan strode over with great strides.
Like other mourning guests, he twisted three sticks of incense in front of the spirit of Shen Fatzi, then bowed three times and put the incense into the incense burner.
According to etiquette, Shen Shiyi, who is a filial son, should kneel and thank him, but Shen Shiyi completely forgot about it at this time.
He bowed to the ground, trembling, because after Zhou Quan came in, he didn't even look at him.
Zhou Quan's eyes swept in front of everyone, and then smiled at Meng Guang: "Brother Meng, let you see the joke." ”
Meng Guang smiled bitterly: "I caused it, sin, sin ......"
"It has nothing to do with you, Brother Meng is a human being, I can trust it." After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he looked at Miao Zhongxian again.
Miao Zhongxian, the old man, smiled, and he arched his hand to Zhou Quan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the old man has some news, and he is about to report it to His Highness." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Quan raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness is kind-hearted and wants us to treat the workers well, but there are always some people who are hungry for profit, and have no idea of benevolence at all, just to make more profits, and want to force the hired workers to a dead end. This group of people was hindered by His Royal Highness's law, and Mingli didn't dare to do so, so they secretly connected with each other, and wanted to move the factory to a place outside His Highness's jurisdiction, so that they could avoid taxes and exploit workers! Miao Zhongxian said righteously.
Shen Shiyi's eyes were red when he was lying on the ground, this was a good arrangement, but Miao Zhongxian, a greedy and shameless man, dared to talk about this!
Tax evasion, under Zhou Quan's rule, Miao Zhong did not dare to do it at first, but moved the factory to Zhou Quan's jurisdiction to avoid taxes, this kind of thing, Miao Zhongxian was one of the top ten if not the first to do it. As for being ruthless with the workers, Miao Zhongxian was also notoriously ruthless, he took advantage of the loopholes of the law to make the workers work overtime "voluntarily", and then used the excuse that the workers over the age of 35 were not motivated, and drove out all the workers who had worked for him in the early years and whose wages had risen to a certain extent, and replaced them with some young and low-paid workers.
This guy still has the face to talk about others!
"Others are just playing some tricks, His Royal Highness is aware of everything, but he doesn't care about it, but this Shen Shiyi, he not only plays small tricks, but also gathers a group of second ancestors who are like him, and secretly don't know what he is doing behind the law, he is a character, but he was killed by this kid after knowing their deeds."
Miao Zhongxian's last sentence made the entire mourning hall commotion.
Killing a father with a son, this kind of accusation is a great crime! Even if he knew that Zhou Quan was not good, Shen Shiyi must have something illegal, but the crime of killing his father was still too much.
Zhou Quan glanced at Miao Zhongxian, with some disgust in his eyes.
Miao Zhongxian's thoughts, Zhou Quan knew very well, it was nothing more than taking a fancy to the Baotai Chamber of Commerce and wanting to hold it in his hands.
"Your Highness doesn't believe it? I have a witness! Miao Zhong smiled first, and then slapped his face: "Come out, His Royal Highness King Ji is here, tell all the things you see." ”
Among the servants of the Shen family who wore linen and filial piety, one of them walked out tremblingly: "The villain Shen Yang has seen His Royal Highness King Ji." ”
This is a steward of the Shen family, Zhou Quan didn't speak, Du Gou'er asked, and he told his identity and what he saw.
It turned out that after Shen Shiyi was angry with Shen Fatzi that day, he eagerly ran to find Wu Jialiang to ask for advice, but he didn't know that Shen Yang secretly entered the study where their father and son were talking. Shen Yang had already been bought by Miao Zhong first, and he originally went to eavesdrop on what secrets their father and son were talking about, but he heard the whole process. After he left, he also ran into the room, took a look at Shen Fatzi's death, and determined that he was dying because of dizziness, so he quietly gave the news to Miao Zhongxian.
"So, it's not wrong for me to say that he killed his father, and Shen Fatzi was angry with him." After Shen Yang finished speaking, Miao Zhongxian snorted coldly and said: "Those who have no father will have no king, those who have no monarch will be disloyal, and those who are disloyal will collude with foreign thieves, Your Highness, this erection is a great crime, and the old man even suspects that he has also colluded with the 'faceless' thief!" ”
As soon as this hat was buttoned down, even Zhou Quan was taken aback, looking at Miao Zhongxian's "upright" face, he smiled dumbly: "Mr. Miao, you have such a big appetite!" ”
If it really has something to do with facelessness, then the crime is not much bigger than killing his father, and it is not only Shen Shiyi who is involved in this matter, but many rich families will be involved! And these rich people's industries will definitely be sold cheaply, and it was a good opportunity for predators like Miao Zhongxian who had a lot of cash in their hands to gobble up.
The people who came to mourn around, all the children in the family who had dealings with Shen Shiyi, all of them had faces like earth. These little tricks of the rich second generation, in fact, which family owner doesn't know, but they have always felt that Zhou Quan is quite tolerant of industry and is extremely close to them, so they don't care too much.
But now, they smell a hint of danger.
Miao Zhong did not hide his thoughts: "Since I got acquainted with His Royal Highness, I have been loyal to His Highness, if I can help His Highness, I am willing to do anything!" ”
Zhou Quan waved his hand, didn't say anything, and then turned around and left.
As soon as he left, the mourning guests were relieved and left for the second time, not to return.
"The king said, since he said that he was going to come to condole, it would be difficult to break his word, so I advised the king to leave half an hour late and let me take the lead." Du Gou'er smiled and said to Shen Shiyi: "You can tell everything you know now." ”
"You lied to me!" Shen Shiyi didn't understand anything, his eyes almost popped out.
Du Gou'er may have found something and implicated him, but it was not a very important clue, and he didn't know the details, so he just pretended to know everything, forcing Shen Shiyi to show his feet!
"Yes, I lied to you just now, but not anymore." Du Gou'er's voice turned cold.
He's a little tired of these sneaky guys.
What happened in front of Shen Fatzi's mourning hall made Meng Guang always feel a little uneasy in his heart, and when he returned home for two days, he was closed and did not see outsiders, and on the third day, he went to see Zhou Quan again with an uneasy mood.
Like the last time, Zhou Quan took time out to meet him in the evening.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the Shen family is that I am reckless, I am at fault, and I am willing to admit punishment!" As soon as he saw Zhou Quan, he was busy admitting his mistake and asking for punishment.
Shen Shiyi harbored evil intentions, but he persuaded Zhou Quan to mourn Shen Fatzi, if he encountered an assassination incident at that time, then he would die without atonement.
Zhou Quan waved his hand: "If there is no such thing, Uncle Du Shi will not suspect the Shen family, the clue he got before, there is only one 'Shen' word, and later I knew my itinerary that day, I suspected that the death of Shen Fatzi was related to this, I didn't expect to guess it......"
Meng Guang was also speechless, he didn't expect such a coincidence.
Then Zhou Quan took out a document from the desk and handed it to Meng Guang to see.
That document is Shen Shiyi's confession.
Of course, Shen Shiyi has to clear himself, even if some charges can't be shirked, he has to find ways to reduce them. In his confession, he was completely led by the Fox Friends and Dogs, coupled with Wu Jialiang's instigation, so that he wanted to obstruct the national polemic, and then undermine Zhou Quan's prestige, so as to achieve the goal of forcing Zhou Quan to make concessions on the division of power.
Meng Guang was a little puzzled, he knew Zhou Quan's temper, so he asked, "What division of power?" ”
"It's you who participate in politics, and the power of the councilors of the academy - to put it simply, Wen Weishen and others are dissatisfied with me, not because I covet the Song dynasty, but because I refuse to rule the world with these scholars; And Shen Shiyi was dissatisfied with me, and it was similar, they felt that I should rule the world with them, they wanted the position of a scholar, and let me just be a vertical ornament. ”
Meng Guang was furious when he heard this: "This is a big rebellion, these boys dare to be so bold!" ”
"Why not, they all feel that they have a lot of skills." Zhou Quan laughed: "In their plan, if they can't force me to make direct concessions, then indirectly force me to make concessions, first destroy my prestige, and then transfer the industry to my extraterritorial land, and rely on the advantages of taxation and workers' wages in my extraterritorial land, and compete head-on with me, until the major factories of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce are defeated...... Of course, this is the means of literature, as well as the means of martial arts, learn from me, train overseas, and wait until the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce declines, if I still refuse to give in, they will force me to give in with military strength. ”
When he said this, Zhou Quan was a little excited.
Everyone knows that the Huaxia Army in Zhou Quan's hands is his most powerful force, but some people often ignore that in fact, the huge material and technical support provided by the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is Zhou Quan's real strength. These rich second generations have seen this, so they have this plan.
This plan is not from Wu Jialiang, but from the complaints and curses behind the backs of these "rich second generations", if they are really implemented step by step, there is really some hope for success.
Meng Guang felt a cold sweat break out.
He had already seen the list that Shen Shiyi had confessed, and most of the names on this list were very familiar, and there were many of them, and they often visited his house as guests, and they were friends with his sons. Therefore, Meng Guang was very worried, afraid to see his son also on the list.
Unfortunately, in the penultimate one, Meng Guang saw his third son, Meng Shen, who had been praised by Zhou Quan.
