Chapter 296: The Shen Family Has a Corpse (7)
The thin wooden coffin commonly used by ordinary people also costs a few taels of silver, Shen Conglin's move somewhat appeased the families of the deceased, who were also the sons of the family, and ordered their daughters to remarry on their own, and the original husband's family must not hinder and interfere.
As for them wanting to know why their men would turn into corpses and send them back after a business trip, Shen Conglin did not explain to them face-to-face, after all, he was a male master who really couldn't explain anything to the sons of the family in a good voice, so he directly used his actions to explain that there were thieves in the family, and he did not hesitate to frame others in order to fight for power and profit.
His family was under house arrest, and he was the only one in the entire mansion who acted freely, which became a good opportunity for Shen Conglin to act, and no one would come to oppose him, so he seized the time to write a long list and sent his cronies to Qianhusuo, and began to seize power and purge the family.
Bai Qing received the list and sent it to the Yamen, and the county respected still used the catcher and the soldiers as a combined team, and went to the Shen family's mansion and the Shen family's ancestral house to get people, even the clan elder who should have a high status did not let go.
It's very simple to eliminate dissidents, and everyone who stands in the way must be killed, so the clan elders on the list are all people who have always opposed Shen Conglin's succession as patriarch.
Of course, the other members of the Shen clan also made trouble, and many of the famous Shen clansmen united to gather outside the gate of the yamen every day to shout grievances, and even prepared to raise money to go to Dong'an Mansion to complain.
Shen Conglin naturally won't just make a list and finish the matter, they are all a family, to put it mildly, who doesn't know a few private things that others can't get on the table, he dares to write out the list, naturally he knows what those people have done, there is no physical evidence and human evidence.
The team sent out by the county to find evidence and material witnesses has also come back one after another in these days, and many of the four masters and wives have been brought back, and the mutilated bones dug up from the wilderness are wrapped in layers of linen soaked in potion, and they are so busy that they have back pain and dare not take a break.
The four mothers-in-law are of different ages, ranging from more than thirty to more than fifty, and they are all related to each other, as if they are family heirlooms, and they pass on women to men, so they dig out more sensational past stories from their mouths.
Basically, it is a family tradition for the Shen family to eat out of households, not to mention eating outsiders, the widows in the clan are also eaten, and no matter whether the widow has an adult son under her knees, as long as there is property around her, it is too easy to kill someone's son, and the son is gone after a small accident.
These four masters and mothers-in-law have their current status in the local area by relying on the long-term cooperation with the two patriarchs of the Shen family, and anyone who wants to ask the gods to ask them for their orders will invite them, the reason is that the Shen family often invites them, and they must have great magical powers.
That is to say, Shen Conglin's grandfather and father were involved, and raising a beautiful boy to tempt and deceive women was started by Shen Conglin's father, and even some young and beautiful women have not been let go after being squeezed out of money.
After these past events were revealed, Shen Conglin finally knew where his own guard captain went, it turned out that the assassination of Qi Ke failed, and the person had already fallen into the hands of the government.
