Hu Yan was terrified, and when he knelt down despite the injury on his leg, blood flowed all over the ground.

"You get up first."

Shen asked people to help him up, and asked someone to re-bandage his wounds, looking at the frightened Hu family, and said in a deep voice, "What I said just now is just speculation, and it is not certain whether it is them who made the move on you, let alone evidence to point to anyone." ”

"I don't have any real faults, and I can't easily interfere in local government affairs."

"If you want to live, you have to let me know why they want to kill the Hu family, what handle do you have in your hands, and what are the implications of everywhere, only by knowing these can you deal with the next thing, otherwise no one can help you."

Hu Yan's face trembled: "I, I really don't know, my father never let me meddle in the family business, and I don't know about my brother's affairs, I only know that he eats and drinks with people on weekdays and causes some trouble from time to time, but he opened a black mine with people and killed people, and I only found out after his accident this time." ”

Shen saw that he was looking frightened and clenching his fingers, his face was pale and uneasy, and he knew that Hu Yan was not lying.

This eldest prince of the Hu family is afraid that he really doesn't listen to things outside the window, and he only reads sage books, and he hasn't told him anything about Hu Shenglin and Hu Rong.

Shen couldn't help frowning: "Then when your father went out in the afternoon, did he explain anything to you?" Or did he tell you anything special or tell you anything before? ”

Hu Shenglin didn't care about his youngest son's nonsense, and he also took on the business of opening a private mine in the name of his youngest son, but he left the eldest son clean, obviously his expectations for the eldest son were much higher than those of the younger son.

In this case, if Hu Shenglin senses that something is wrong, he may explain some things and leave them as a way back.

Hu Yan frowned tightly when he heard this, as if something suddenly flashed in his mind, and his expression was stunned.

Shen saw that something was wrong on his face, and said directly, "What did you think of?" ”

Hu Yan glanced at him hesitantly.

Shen frowned and said, "If you don't believe me, you can not say it, I just haven't seen today's incident." Your mansion is attacked, and I will have someone to inform Lord Tao later, so that the county government can take over the affairs of the Hu family......"

"That's not what I meant."

Hu Yan hurriedly refused.

Although he has not yet entered the official career, he also knows some things in officialdom.

Tao Ji is only from the county order of Bapin, if the affairs of the Hu family are really related to the Zhizhou Mansion and the supervision of the imperial history, then once they come to Qi Town, what they want to do is not something that Tao Ji can stop.

What's more, his father also told him about Tao Ji before, saying that this person has a smooth temperament, and he is a wall-head grass who sees the wind and rudder and puts interests first.

In the past, the Hu family had an uncle in the court, and his father often gave up his interests to Tao Ji, and the two families exchanged Tao Ji naturally favored them, but not long ago, Ai Tao Ji suddenly turned his face and locked his mother in prison, looking like he wanted to thoroughly investigate the Hu family, even if Hu Yan was stupid, he knew that Tao Ji couldn't believe it at all.

If the affairs of the Hu family are really handed over to the county government to take over, maybe Tao Ji will sell him to the people of the governor's mansion.

Hu Yan said: "I don't want to hide it from Shen Gongzi, but there is something I don't know if it has anything to do with it." ”

"The night before yesterday, my second brother suddenly died of serious injuries, and then my mother died in prison, my father went to the county office yesterday and came back and stayed in the study, this morning called me over, told me to prepare, and then set off to the capital to find my cousin uncle in the next two days."

Mrs. Hu died suddenly, and Hu Yan had filial piety and was not allowed to conduct scientific examinations for three years.

Hu Shenglin said that he would go to the capital to find Hu Shengquan first, and temporarily live in the Shilang Mansion, saying that Hu Shengquan would send him to study in the country, and that he would be able to pave the way for the future by contacting the people in Beijing earlier through the relationship of the Hu family.

"Enter the country?" Shen frowned slightly.

Xue Nuo also couldn't help but glance at Hu Yan, the rules of the Great Cause Dynasty, the Guozi Jian Zhusheng only accepts the descendants of the Chinese military officials above the sixth rank, the relatives of the fifth rank of the official, or the great-grandchildren of the courtiers above the third rank, and the sons of the honorable officer above the fourth rank.

In addition, although the children below the eighth grade and the handsome people of the common people will also be selected every three years, but the number of these people is very small, and the requirements are also very strict.

To put it mildly, the Guozijian is a place for the children of nobles and officials of a certain rank to go to school, and the Hanmen are not qualified to enter the Guozijian at all.

Although the Hu family is not a poor family, but in terms of Hu Yan's background, he is not qualified to enter the national prison, unless the Jingzhong Hu family is willing to give up the quota for their descendants to enter the country, and give it to Hu Yan to let him top, but how can Hu Shengquan do this for Hu Yan's sake?

What Xue Nuo could think of, Shen could naturally think of, and even he knew the rules of Guozijian enrollment better than Xue Nuo.

Hu Shengquan and Hu Shenglin are cousins, but one is the main branch and the other is a concubine.

Hu Shenglin's father was originally the son of the Hu family, and he was not valued by the house, but he still had an official body when he was sent to Jiangnan, and Hu Shenglin was also a concubine, but he was not as good as his father.

The situation of Hu Shenglin and Hu Shengquan, the two cousins, is very different, although they still have contacts, it stands to reason that they are not close.

Why is Hu Shenglin so sure that his cousin will definitely be able to let his son enter the national prison?

Shen looked at Hu Yan and asked in a deep voice, "What your father said is that your cousin will send you to the National Prison, instead of asking you to beg your uncle to send you to the National Prison?" ”

Hu Yan heard the difference in his words, and his expression was a little depressed:

"My father said that Uncle Tang owes him a favor, and Uncle Tang agreed to this matter a long time ago, and my father originally planned to wait for my sister to get married, so that I could participate in the township test and then enter Beijing, but who knew that my mother suddenly had an accident."

"My father said that I was wasting my time staying here, and my sister's marriage with Uncle Pingyuan also had to go to Beijing to discuss, so he gave me a letter and asked me to take my sister to the capital to meet Uncle Tang, and ask Uncle Tang to help go to Uncle Pingyuan to discuss the delay of the marriage, but who knows......"

Hu Yan suddenly choked up when he thought of his sister, who would have thought that his sister, who was originally going to marry, would suddenly suffer a catastrophe.

Shen remembered that the Hu family had died several people one after another in just a few days, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent for a moment before saying, "What about the letter your father gave you?" ”

"With me."

Hu Yan wiped his tears with red eyes, and then took out a letter from his chest and choked up,

"After my father gave me the letter in the morning, I was busy packing up and taking the letter with me, and I didn't read what was written in it."
