Mrs. Shang was resentful in her heart, feeling that if Shang Ping hadn't denounced it, how could there be these things?

Knowing her mother Mo Ruonu, how could Shang Danzhu not know what her mother was thinking, she was afraid that her mother would annoy her grandmother at this time, so she hurriedly supported her and said: "Mother, you are not in good health, I will help you go down to rest first." ”

After that, he gave Shang Danju a look.

Shang Danju hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Shang, "Old lady, there are no officers and soldiers in our family, and there is no news from the second sister's side, this is the best news, we can't mess up at this time." ”

Shang Danzhu had already helped Mrs. Shang Er down, and after returning to her courtyard, she sent everyone away, and then said in a low voice: "Mother still doesn't understand, my father did it as a last resort, in order to protect the Shang family." ”

Mrs. Shang Er wept, "Then you can't harm your uncle and them." ”

Shang Danzhu said impatiently: "How can you harm your uncle?" They are harming themselves, and they want me to say that my father should not even be involved in business. ”

Changping said vaguely, and Shang Danzhu was also ignorant, but he also guessed that the business was definitely not a serious business, otherwise why would he be so secretive?

She said: "Changping has said that someone has taken the evidence, if my father doesn't stand up, others will also denounce my uncle, and then our family will also be involved, do you know what the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is?" ”

Mrs. Shang shivered.

Shang Danzhu lowered his voice and said: "The heavy ones are the three clans, and the light ones are also beheaded by the whole family." ”

Speaking of this, Shang Danzhu became even more uneasy, and asked, "Mother, what kind of business do fathers and uncles do?" ”

Mrs. Shang Er looked up blankly, "Your father and uncles have never mentioned it to me, I, I don't know." ”

Shang Danzhu gritted his teeth, seeing his grandmother's reaction, she didn't even know it, it seemed that her father did it privately.

Just thinking about it, there was a commotion in front of her, and Mrs. Shang was startled, and asked with a pale face: "What's the matter, are the officers and soldiers coming?" ”

Shang Danzhu hurriedly comforted her and said, "Mother will go to the old lady first, and I'll take a look." ”

"Third Sister ......"

Shang Danzhu had already walked forward quickly, and before he reached the second gate, he saw Shang Mingyuan holding the child with a blue face and Xiao Fang's family walking in quickly.

She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Big brother, what's going on ahead?" ”

Shang Mingyuan said with difficulty: "I was surrounded by officers and soldiers, I was not allowed to enter but not to leave, my sister-in-law and I just came back, I don't know everything, what happened at home?" ”

Shang Danzhu was silent, and said after a while: "The old lady is in the backyard, let's go there and talk." ”

The worst thing happened, the inner courtyard was full of crying, Mrs. Shang almost fainted, and finally Mrs. Shang stood up and said: "Send someone to Zhou's house to ask your in-laws, and your Aunt Lin will also send a letter, and then send a message to your eldest sister, don't be like a quail who can't work." ”

looked at the child in Shang Mingyuan's arms and cried: "Take the child to the small courtyard at the back, Xiao Fang, you have to take him with you every step of the way, and don't allow him to come to the front." ”

looked at Shang Mingyuan again and said, "You write a letter of resignation, keep it for me for the time being." ”

Everyone's complexion changed, the Shang family was really going to get to that point, and the only people who could be alive were really Xiao Fang's and her children.

Shang Mingyuan was stunned, and looked at Xiao Fang's in a daze, and Xiao Fang's was also stunned.

Mrs. Shang cried: "Don't blame your grandmother for being ruthless, there is no way to do it, prepare first, maybe you won't need it." ”

Xiao Fang's "plop" knelt on the ground and cried: "Old lady, think about it again, maybe it won't be so bad, our big house has always been law-abiding, and what the second uncle does may not implicate us." ”

"Yes, so this is just preparation," Old Madam Shang suppressed the bitterness in her heart and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, child, if it's okay, I won't allow Mingyuan to bully you." ”

The Shang family is really going to end, and then her great-grandson will have to rely on the Xiao Fang family, and Mrs. Shang is now very gentle.

sent Xiao Fang and the child to the small courtyard next to the Buddha hall, and then looked at Shang Mingyuan.

Shang Mingyuan wrote a letter of resignation with a calm face, gritted his teeth and asked, "What if the court doesn't recognize it?" ”

As long as his daughter-in-law and son are alive, it's a trivial matter.

"No," Old Madam Shang comforted him and herself, "With the second sister here, I will beg you Aunt Lin again, it shouldn't be difficult for Xiao Fang to leave with the child." ”

Old Madam Shang clutched her chest and said, "You take the money and go to the front to inquire to see if you can go out, if you can't, just ask someone to send a letter to the Zhou family and the Lin family, we must always know where things have come." ”

Shang Mingyuan responded in a low voice and took the money to the front yard, but he had just arrived at the door, and before he could reach out to speak, Zhou Tingshi arrived.

The soldiers and horses surrounding the Shang family were not the people of the Assassin Mansion, but the local garrison.

Because his monk's family is in-law, he has to avoid suspicion, although the official document was still sent to the Assassin's Mansion, it had to be investigated by the other driver and the local garrison.

He had to avoid suspicion of everything about the Shang family.

Of course, this is a theoretical requirement, and the practical operability is still quite strong, for example, isn't he coming to visit Mrs. Shang now and deliver news by the way?

Before coming, he also went to see Lin Qingwan first, so he was only a little late.

Following Shang Mingyuan into the backyard, he first comforted the Shang family and said, "There is no conviction in the capital, but because Lord Shang personally surrendered, the punishment will be reduced as appropriate, but ......"

Old Madam Shang straightened her back and asked, "But what is it?" The in-laws have something to say, don't worry. ”

Zhou Tingshi sighed, "I asked the county lord before I came, and the county lord said that she was working around and tried not to implicate her family, but last month, Lord Shang followed Zhao Jie to trade important war materials with Liao, and asked the Northeast Army to collect them on the spot, which is not a light crime." ”

Mrs. Shang's eyes darkened, and Changping said that the Zhao family was secretly preparing for the transaction through business, and even her son was involved?

She asked bitterly, "Shang Ping him, does he know?" ”

Zhou Tingshi nodded and sighed: "The grain and iron were bought by him personally. ”

Yes, the evidence is confirmed, and it is impossible to deny it.

Old Madam Shang only felt that all thoughts were lost, and she traded war materials with the enemy country, this is a collaborator, why is the second child so confused?

Zhou Tingshi saw that her face turned blue, and hurriedly said: "But the county lord said that Lord Shang has a good attitude in admitting his guilt, and he has denounced the first crime, so he can be dealt with as appropriate, and," Zhou Tingshi hesitated for a moment and said: "The second son has just made a great contribution, maybe he can save his family." ”

Everyone was in good spirits and hurriedly asked, "What great contribution has Mingjie made?" ”

"The fourth prince was assassinated, and the second prince saved the fourth prince."

Old Madam Shang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "God bless." ”

Shang Danzhu was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Then my second brother is okay, right?" ”

Zhou Tingshi was silent for a while, and everyone's faces became solemn again, looking at him expectantly.

"I've been seriously injured, but I've heard I'm out of danger."

Shang Danzhu and Shang Danju glanced at each other, still worried, and Old Madam Shang didn't know how to describe her mood.

Under the ups and downs, she only felt that her mouth was dry and her heart was beating faster, she covered her chest and asked, "Why don't you tell me the truth, the second child's surrender and Ming Jieli's function can't save the lives of my Shang family?" ”

Zhou Tingshi was silent.

Mrs. Shang's heart sank for a while, and Mrs. Shang couldn't help but hide her face and cry.

Zhou Tingshi looked at Mrs. Shang Er and hesitated: "The Zhao family has been besieged for several days, but Zhao Sheng has no news at all, Zhao Jie has betrayed the Liang State, and now Dachu." This is the first time since the founding of the Liang Dynasty that a military general has rebelled, but according to the imperial court, the Zhao family not only has contact with the state of Chu, but also has more contacts with the Liao state, and even provides convenience for the Liao state. ”

"Your Majesty has given the four princes full responsibility for this matter, and the four princes will come to Jiangnan in person in the near future," Zhou Tingshi lowered his voice and said: "The old lady should know that the county lord has a great relationship with the four princes, as long as the Shang family makes some more contributions, maybe the county lord will be able to persuade the four princes to be lenient with the Shang family." ”

Old Madam Shang followed his gaze to look at Mrs. Shang, and asked with a perked spirit, "What do you think our Shang family can do now?" ”

"There are already people checking the Zhao family's property, but they can't find any trace of Liaoguo's fine work, as far as we know, this matter has always been Zhao Sheng's responsibility, I don't know if the second wife of Shang can know about this?"

Mrs. Shang shook her head again and again, and said in a panic: "I don't know, men never talk to women in the back house when they do things. ”

Zhou Tingshi sighed, "It seems that it can't catch those Liao country details, and it's strange to say, those Liao people can hide so well in the territory of Jiangnan, or three years ago the county lord was assassinated, we only pulled out a part of it, their identity is impeccable, if we don't carefully investigate, dig up for three generations, almost all of them come out, because the shops they stayed in are both small and long, not to mention, and they are also familiar with nearby residents, so no one doubts." ”

Mrs. Shang understands in seconds, which big family doesn't have some property left for the future?

This kind of property is generally not recorded in one's own name, or even in the name of a domestic servant, and it is not yet obvious that if something happens to it, it will not bring prosperity to future generations, but it will ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing.

The old lady of the Zhao family died early, but the old lady of the Zhao family lived a long life, and she had always taken the second Mrs. Shang with her before, she may know something.

Old Madam Shang looked at Mrs. Shang with blazing eyes and asked, "What private properties of your mother's family are not recorded in the name of your family?" ”

Second Mrs. Shang's face turned pale, she really knew something, her mother took her to check the accounts, and the second brother was not very old when he took this, and he never hid it from her.

But she has rarely heard of these industries in recent years.

Zhou Tingshi knew that she knew when he saw her face, his heart was relieved, and his face was more gentle: "Second wife, don't worry, as long as you say it, I will immediately send someone to investigate, and the credit will be recorded on the head of the Shang family, and then the county lord will operate, and this matter will be inseparable." ”

Mrs. Shang Er clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
