Chapter 169: The Shen Family's Great Disaster

"Okay, I'll call someone to do it." Xu Qian said and was about to turn around and leave, but heard the voice of a maid running hurriedly outside the door. While running, he shouted, "Young Master Cousin, it's not good!" Oh no! ”

Yu Ren hurriedly opened the door and met the servant. "Panic what! What happened? ”

The servant girl turned and pointed to the door, her face flushed. "Soldiers, a lot of soldiers. They, they fenced off our yard. ”

Yu Ren was taken aback, hurriedly left the maidservant, and ran to the door.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing towards this side, and there were many people standing in the distance watching the excitement. Yu Ren roughly counted them, and he was afraid that there were three or four hundred people. These people were all fully armed, surrounding the Shen family, and finally a person who looked like an officer came up, and there was a person standing beside him, this person was Xu Zhihao, the third young master of the Xu family.

Yu Ren stepped forward and asked the officer, "What's going on?" ”

"I'm sorry. This is an order from our Governor. Let's lead the troops to surround the Shen Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, except for the subordinates who buy vegetables and cook. ”

"Why? We are all law-abiding children of the Ming Dynasty. It seems a little unreasonable to treat us like this! Yu Ren shouted.

When the man heard Yu Ren's words, he looked at him as if he had seen a monster. In the current era, the people have no right to speak in front of the officials. There is no need for a governor to act on a squire, and in such a time of war. And Yu Ren actually said such a thing, no wonder the officer was surprised.

Of course, this officer did not know much about Yu Ren's complicated identity, and he was not only close to the pirates, but also had many friends from the Donglin Party. Therefore, he is not an ordinary small citizen.

However, although this officer did not know Yu Ren's identity, Governor Xiong had heard of him as the number one person to some extent. After all, at the beginning of the year in Hangzhou, the open dispute between the children of the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party had already spread in Shilin. This is also the reason why Lord Xiong did not arrest people directly, but surrounded the Shen Mansion first.

He was also afraid that if he made a mistake, the Donglin Party would take the opportunity to join him and take the opportunity to suppress the bandits and loot the people's fat and ointment. Therefore, this time he not only sent a general, but also sent a staff member around him.

This person was around forty, and he was originally following behind the general, and he was inconspicuous. At this time, he heard Yu Ren's questioning, and he stood up.

"I'm sorry Yu Xianggong. Someone accused your family of having an affair with a coward. The imperial court was determined to completely solve the southeast sea disaster this time, and in order to prevent someone from reporting to the pirates, it ordered Huang Qian to lead troops to surround the Shen Mansion. All the people related to the Shen family rushed into the mansion, and all businesses were temporarily banned. ”

Yu Ren pointed to Xu Sanshao on the side, "Is he talking about this?" ”

The man nodded. "Not bad!"

"This lord is a good man. This is not a trivial matter, but there is real evidence. This person has always been a business rival with my Shen family, and he just sold his weaving house to my family a few days ago. I think he has a grudge against him because of this, and he deliberately framed him! Yu Ren said loudly.

It seems that this Xu Sanshao not only sent someone to inform that Yan Baihu and asked him to blackmail him, but also stabbed the matter in front of Xiong Wencan, the governor of Su Song. In this way, it is difficult to do.

The man shook his head. "There is no real evidence for the time being. But Bear said. The stakes in this crackdown on bandits are very important, and it is better to believe that they have something than to believe that they do not. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, I can only grieve Yu Xianggong first. ”

Yu Ren couldn't, so he had to bow his hand to the man, "The villain still doesn't understand, I wonder if I can invite the two adults to the mansion to talk about it and inform me of this matter?" Seeing that it didn't make sense, Yu Ren used his killer trick again, preparing to invite the two Wen and Yiwu sent by Xiong Wencan into the mansion first, and then bribe them.

The staff member of the Xiong Mansion seemed to see through Yu Ren's thoughts, and shook his head with a righteous face. "There are other things to deal with in the future, so I won't bother with it." After saying that, he turned around and left. And that Huang Qian didn't pay attention to Yu Ren, and went back directly with a few of his subordinates and the staff.

Third Young Master Xu came to Yu Ren's front and said mockingly, "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be really supernatural!" Even pirates have something to do with it, no wonder my brother was tricked and lost more than 20,000 taels of silver. However, since ancient times, evil has been invincible, and God still has eyes!

This time, Lord Xiong banned all your family's business, and I see how proud you are. ”

Yu Ren glanced at Xu Sanshao's proud appearance and did not speak. He originally thought that this Xu Sanshao was a stakes opponent, but looking at the pride and open-mindedness he showed in front of his eyes, he felt that he had seen the wrong person. It seems that he caught the key point this time, but it was just a mistake.

Such a character without a city government, Yu Ren hasn't taken him seriously.

As soon as the staff of the Xiong Mansion and Mr. Qian left, the officers and soldiers immediately blocked the front and rear gates of the Shen family, and surrounded the courtyard, leaving only a small gate for the subordinates who carried water and bought vegetables to enter and exit, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave.

Soon, several shopkeepers and important men of the Shen family in Songjiang City were also invited into the mansion. The weavers in the weaving house were fine. After all, this person has nothing to do with the Shen family in the end.

Fortunately, there are a lot of houses in the Shen Mansion, although a lot of people have been added at once, but they can still be arranged.

For these trivial things, Yu Ren naturally doesn't care. At this time, he was discussing with Xu Qian and Cao An in the secret room how to deal with the situation in front of him.

"In my opinion, this time the court is going to move seriously, and since they are surrounding our house, they will definitely not be without evidence. So I haven't done it yet, I'm afraid that I feel that the evidence at hand is insufficient, and I am afraid that the young master has many friends from the Donglin Party in the court.

When they capture Nansha Island, it will be easy to obtain evidence that the young master fornicated with the bandits. At that time, I am afraid that it will be time to raid the house and destroy the door. ”

Yu Ren didn't speak, he knew that Cao An's words made sense. Although the communication with the Xu family is only a matter for him Yu Ren alone, but in this era, it is a common thing for Zhu Lian. He is the actual helmsman of the Shen family at the moment. If he is really convicted of being a gangster, he is afraid that it will be difficult for these people in his family to be saved, including his seriously ill uncle.

"Young master, or. You can take Miss Xu and Uncle Xu and run first! We've already inquired. There is a small section in the southwest corner that belongs to Yan Baihu, who came to our house to extort it. Stay until late at night, I will climb the wall and go out first, buy off this Yan Baihu, and then let him let the young master go. This man is mercenary, as long as we give enough money, we will be able to achieve things. ”

Yu Ren shook his head. "If I'm gone. You and this great family will not escape death. This matter started with me, and how can I bother you.

Let's wait and see! Maybe there will be a turnaround.

As long as the officers and men do not capture Nansha Island for a day, they will not attack us for a day. Even if I have to leave, I am not in a hurry at this time, and I must think of a foolproof way to let everyone escape with me. ”

Xu Qian, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected at this time. "I have a carrier pigeon that can exchange news with Nansha."

When Yu Ren heard this, his heart relaxed slightly. Now that the Shen Mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers, the most serious problem is information. Up and down the Shen Mansion, no one can enter or leave casually, and even the people who buy vegetables go out, followed by two or three officers and soldiers. Under such circumstances, even if the officers and men had already captured Nansha Island, they would not be able to know the news.

If Xu Qian had carrier pigeons, then their news would not be completely blocked. This seemingly inconspicuous little carrier pigeon may decide the life and death of their family of more than 100 people at a critical moment.

And so it went on for several days. There was no news from outside. The people who were locked up in the palace became more and more anxious, and often quarreled over trivial matters. Yu Ren was also in a hurry. He was afraid that these people in the mansion would be blocked like this for a few more days, and without the help of officers and soldiers, these people would collapse first under mental pressure.

However, at the moment, he really can't think of any good way to solve the crisis in front of him. Cao An had already bought off Yan Baihu's defense area in private. As long as Yu Ren wants to leave, he can do so at any time. But he insisted on not leaving.

After another two days like this, Xu Qian's carrier pigeon finally brought the news.
