Chapter 35: Raiding the Shen Family

The early winter has arrived, the weather of Nanjing pedestrians has become a little wet and cold, although the streets are as lively as ever, the pedestrians on the street are tightening their collars, as if they will be exploited by the cold wind if they do not pay attention.

Although the sun in the sky was hanging high, it did not bring any warm feeling to people, and Shen Congzhou, the head of the Nanjing Rite Department, was in the mansion, and this cold feeling was even worse than the cold weather outside at this time.

Since Shen Congzhou was filled with righteous indignation after receiving the letter, he took leave from the yamen, and sat in the middle hall to drink tea after washing up every day, as if waiting for some result to come, and the days were quite peaceful.

It's just that this kind of calm is destined to end today, and the Shen family just finished breakfast when the door of the mansion was slammed open.

With a loud bang, the door of the mansion cracked, and a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, and there were also a lot of brocade guards.

Luo Yangxing took the lead in entering the Shen Mansion with his Jinyi Guard, looking at the people in the Shen Mansion who were still in shock, with a faint smile on his face, and then waved his hand: "Grab them all for me and tie them up in front of the hall to accept the Holy Judgment!" ”

Immediately, a group of wolf-like officers and soldiers and brocade guards rushed into the courtyard, and everyone in the Shen Mansion was suddenly panicked, and the shouts of people and the cracking of cups and plates broke the peace of the Shen Mansion.

Yang Yingqian stood beside Luo Yangxing and watched everything that happened in front of him, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Not long after, more than 30 members of the Shen family were brought to the courtyard, and they all knelt on the cold ground with their hands tied.

Shen Congzhou was also driven to the courtyard by two brocade guards, his face was very calm, it seemed that he had expected today's result a long time ago, but when he saw that Yang Yingqian was also present, he couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Shen Congzhou's only son, Shen He, was also tied to the side, and his eyes were full of endless resentment when he looked at Yang Yingqian, if it weren't for his hands tied, he would have pounced and bitten him.

Yang Yingqian also noticed the eyes of the father and son, although it was not his own harm to the Shen family, but at this time, after all, it had something to do with him, and he wanted to turn around and leave at the moment, and it would be over when Luo Yangxing finished announcing the decree and escorted them to the prisoner car.

Just as Yang Yingqian wanted to turn around and leave, a woman's cry came from the back house.

"You disciples, let go of my young lady!"

Yang Yingqian turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw two brocade guards escorting a woman with a beautiful face towards the courtyard, and a woman with a maid ring chasing and tearing the two brocade guards.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Yang Yingqian's thoughts returned to a hurried glance on the official road in Tong'an County that day, this woman was Shen Junyi, the daughter of the Shen family who almost became Yang Yingqian's wife.

The two brocade guards didn't understand the slightest pity for the jade, and put Shen Junyi on the ground, and the extremely regular bun that was originally combed was also scattered under this habit, but Shen Junyi's expression at this time was very calm, and there was no panic on his face, but when he sat on the ground, his brows were slightly tufted, as if his palm was broken.

Seeing this, Yang Yingqian walked up to Luo Yangxing and said, "Brother Luo, these women have no power to restrain the chicken, and they can't run away if they want to, so don't tie them up!" ”

Luo Yangxing had been observing Yang Yingqian's face since just now, and when he saw that Yang Yingqian's gaze had not left since this woman came out, he naturally thought that Yang Yingqian had taken a fancy to this woman.

At that moment, there was an expression on his face that all men understand, and he smiled at Yang Yingqian and said, "Lord Yang is reasonable, but the officials are not thoughtful!" ”

Immediately ordered the two brocade guards to untie the ropes tied to Shen Junyi's hands, and the little maid on the side hurriedly pounced on her young lady and sobbed, but Shen Junyi glanced at Yang Yingqian suspiciously, as if she was wondering why this military attachΓ© who had come to raid the house spoke for herself.

Shen Congzhou, who had been silent on the side, suddenly sneered at this time: "The children of the Yang family, since they have already voted for the eunuch party, but they are pretending to be good people here, do you think that the old man will be grateful to you in this way?" ”

Yang Yingqian's heart was helpless, a typical feudal scholar like Shen Congzhou may not necessarily have any great talents that have been used in the world, but he attaches great importance to the integrity and character of the so-called literati.

Although this spirit is admirable, sometimes they are blinded by this kind of thing, often thinking that black is black and white is white, which causes them to have more paranoia in their personality.

Yang Yingqian just wanted to say something, but Luo Yangxing on the side sneered: "Lord Shen, I advise you to worry more about yourself, the criminal Shen Congzhou took the order!" ”

Luo Yangxing's eyes were cold, and he took out a holy decree from his arms, glanced at Shen Congzhou again, and then read: "Shen Congzhou, the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, has been an official for many years, and he does not think about serving the country loyally, vainly disappointing the emperor's favor, fabricating rumors, slandering the pillars of the imperial court, and even instigating the in-laws of the Wen family to befriend the widows, with bad intentions, his heart can be punished!" ”

Reading this, Luo Yangxing glanced sideways at Shen Congzhou, who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a trace of disdain: "The criminal officer Shen Congzhou cut his post to the people, and was escorted to Beijing and Zhao Prison in brocade clothes to wait for the fate, the family property was confiscated, the men of the Shen family were all in Shaanxi, and the female dependents were not admitted to the Nanjing Jiaofang Division as prostitutes. ”

After Luo Yangxing finished announcing the decree, with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers who had been waiting behind him for a long time stepped forward and escorted Shen Congzhou and his family to the prisoner car outside the house.

Shen Congzhou suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then roared with ten thousand eyes: "Wei Eunuch, can you kill me a Shen Congzhou, can you kill the people of the world?" Even if I turn into a ghost, I will watch you from heaven until the day you die! ”

"It's too noisy, come on, shut his mouth!"

Luo Yangxing picked his ears impatiently, and a brocade guard beside him stepped forward when he heard the order, took out a rag from his arms and stuffed it into Shen Congzhou's mouth, Shen Congzhou could only let out an angry whine.

After the officers and soldiers locked everyone in the Shen family into the prisoner car, they began to carry the Shen family's property again, and after a short time, the huge Shen family was confiscated.

Looking at everything that happened in front of him, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the road to his career is really dangerous, this Shen Congzhou is also the status he has now after studying hard for many years, but the broken family is only an overnight moment, I don't know what the fate of this family will be in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Yingqian's mind flashed with the complicated look that Shen Junyi threw at him when he passed by him just now.

This is Luo Yangxing, but with a faint smile, he came to Yang Yingqian and said mysteriously: "My lord, I am relieved, we take Shen Congzhou today, and we still need to repair in Nanjing for a few days, and after a while, the next official will send him to Nanzhen for temporary detention, and accompany the adult to the teaching workshop in the evening, and buy the daughter of the Shen family to be a maid for the adult!" ”

As soon as Shen Junyi came out just now, Yang Yingqian's eyes never moved away from her, Luo Yangxing didn't know what was going on between the two, but Yang Yingqian fell in love with the daughter of this criminal official, and immediately started to think about it.

It's just that it's not good to detain Shen Junyi alone in front of everyone's eyes, so she can only wait for her to enter the Teaching Workshop Division and then operate secretly.

The female dependents of this criminal official became an official prostitute after they did not enter the Jiaofang Division, and they could not redeem and buy them home, but over the years, the imperial court's control of the Jiaofang Division has been greatly relaxed, and then relying on his identity as a brocade guard, he used some means to the Jiaofang Division, and he asked people to come.

"After a while, these prisoners and their dependents will be sent to the Teaching Workshop Division, every time this Teaching Workshop Division enters a newcomer, it will always bid for the first night of these new female dependents of the Teaching Workshop Division, and the next official will see that Miss Shen is still Yun Ying's unmarried body, it will definitely be very popular, my lord is really good-looking!"

Hearing what Luo Yangxing said, Yang Yingqian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and those reddish eyes appeared in Yang Yingqian's mind at this time.......
