Chapter 23 Wu Xing and Shen Clan are so powerful

"Although Shangshu Diao has passed away many years ago, the power of the Diao family is still there. Moreover, they have been entrenched in the important military town of Jingkou for decades. Their power is so deep-rooted that even the imperial court has a laissez-faire attitude towards them."

"Your Majesty has long heard that the Diao family is doing all kinds of evil in Jingkou, but I only heard about it. Only when I saw them today did I realize that they are actually so arrogant."

"Ladies, don't worry, the champion general will not turn a blind eye to this matter. But now that the enemy is facing us, we have to let them be proud for a while. After that, when the general is free, he will definitely deal with them!"

Minghui didn't quite believe what her aunt said, but Shen Canjun's guarantee was still somewhat credible.

But at this moment, a big man walked out of He's store. Judging from the clothes, he should not be the same as the Diao family.

But when he saw this man, he had the eyes of a dragon and the steps of a tiger, and his head was broad and high. The man stepped out, grabbed it with his hand, and knocked the big bull's ax aside.

"Too powerful!"

Shen Canjun watched the fight between the strong man and the big bull intently. He knocked down the menacing big bull within three moves without much effort.

"Which hero is this?"

"I must go and get acquainted!" Officer Shen rolled his eyes, extremely excited.

Minghui's eyesight was very good. Although they were far apart, she still saw the soles of the strong man's feet turning several times on the wooden clogs.

My feet were covered in black mud and my clogs were dusty.

"What's the point of getting to know such a rude person?"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Minghui, didn't you say before that you only want to find the kind of hero who is good at fighting?"

"Now I dislike others for being rude."

Minghui's little face suddenly turned red.

"What did aunt say?"

"What Minghui likes is the kind of hero who rides on horseback and whips his whip, and can take back the Central Plains. How can he be such a reckless man who only knows how to fight rough."

Mrs. Wang looked at her with a smile and did not argue with her, but just told her a reason.

"Minghui, do you know that those heroes on horseback are like this in private?"

"impossible!"

"Aunt, you are making fun of me again!"

Minghui was only sixteen years old, and she still had many beautiful expectations for the future, which were very unrealistic, including her assumptions about her future husband.

She only saw those majestic generals riding horses and whipping their whips, defeating countless enemy troops, but she could not imagine that most of the people who were good at conquering and fighting were so careless in private.

He was covered in stinking sweat and often didn't take a shower.

Now, her dear aunt actually shattered her fantasy. How could she agree to it? She shook her head and denied it desperately.

Mrs. Wang was not angry either, she still waited quietly.

Shen Canjun felt that it was rare that his wife was in a good mood today, so it would be better to explain some things clearly first.

"Mrs. Wang, I have already written a letter to General Champion, asking for instructions on the whereabouts of Lady Minghui. Since I have not received a reply from the general in the past few days, we may have to stop at Jingkou."

This fat, dark man, whom Mrs. Wang respectfully calls Shen Canjun, is called Police Officer Shen. In fact, he does not want to be an official. In comparison, he would rather return to his hometown and be his free and independent person.

But he couldn't resist the repeated persuasion of several old friends, so he reluctantly came out and got a position in the army under the champion general.

Although there is the word "military" in this official title, Police Officer Shen has no intention of commanding troops, and the errand assigned to him by the champion general has nothing to do with marching and fighting.

Look at the two female relatives on the carriage. This elegant woman called Mrs. Wang is the eldest sister of the champion general Xie Xuan. Her surname is Xie and her name is Daoyun. She is a famous and talented woman in the world. And beside her This person is Xie Xuan’s youngest daughter, Xie Minghui.

When he saw her, Officer Shen became very anxious.

Originally, the only person he had to escort on this errand was Xie Daoyun.

Dao Yun originally lived in Jiankang, and her daughter also married the son of the Langya Wang family in accordance with the family marriage rules.

Their family moved to Kuaiji County. This time, Xie Daoyun received a letter from Kuaiji, saying that her daughter had a safe delivery and that she, Xie Daoyun, was now a grandmother!

Dao Yun had not seen her daughter for many years, and with the new addition to her family, she missed her daughter for a while and went crazy remembering her daughter. She suggested to her brother Xie Xuan that she find some reliable people to escort her to Kuaiji to visit her daughter. ,granddaughter.

Originally, Xie Xuan felt that the eldest sister was getting older, and the long journey from Jiankang to Kuaiji would be too hard. She might get into trouble again, and her health would be bad. , and she was not allowed to go.

Xie Daoyun also has a way. She wants to go to Kuaiji to visit her daughter, and of course she will not be knocked down by small difficulties.

She quickly told Xie Xuan that the Qin Dynasty had a strong army and was watching with eager eyes. Jingkou Jiankang might be subject to war, and it was far less safe than Kuaiji County in the interior. It would be safer for her to go to Kuaiji before the war started. ?

After such lobbying, Xie Xuan became interested. In addition, Police Shen's participation gave Xie Xuan more reason to escort his eldest sister to Kuaiji.

Although he was willing to persuade Police Shen to become an official, he was still a little reluctant.

Xie Xuan completely understood Police Shen's hesitation.

The old Shen family was also ruined by various disasters in the Jin Dynasty, so they did not dare to become officials easily.

The key point is that compared to other aristocratic families who need to work as officials to maintain their status, the Shen family is originally an indigenous aristocratic family in Jiangnan.

Although the Shen family has never been a first-class wealthy family in Jiangnan, that is because they followed a completely opposite route to the first-class wealthy families.

They are rooted in the Sanwu area, have numerous rural military branches, have a wide range of activities, and are quite powerful.

Among all the aristocratic families who pay attention to rules and respectability, the Wu Xing and Shen family are definitely an outlier.

What others advocate is just talking about metaphysics, which is true, and they are pragmatic and not pragmatic.

As for the Shen family, ever since they became famous in Wuxing, they seem not to be interested in this set of fake tricks. Their family's martial arts style is extremely strong.

They are constantly fighting and fighting. They can't stand the calm days. Whenever there is a war, they immediately become excited.

If you don't make trouble, you won't feel comfortable.

Shen Jing's grandfather, Shen Chong, was one of Wang Dun's dog-headed military advisers during the Wang Dun Rebellion in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Dun was defeated, and Shen Chong, as an important counselor, naturally did not end well.

His reckless behavior almost ruined the official career of the Shen family. For many years, the Shen family gave up the idea of ​​joining the court as officials. Even though the court had long intended to forgive them, the Shen family still had little interest in the goodwill sent to them by the court.

Be an official?

Don't hurt us!

Therefore, when it comes to Police Officer Shen's generation, although the imperial court has long lifted the ban on the Shen family from entering the court as officials, Police Officer Shen has become accustomed to the life of idle fish and wild cranes and does not want to bother being an official at all.
