The secret communication of the vassal kings was executed and the rebellion was even more implicated in the nine clans. Compared with this, the crime of fraud in scientific research is not very serious, but the impact is the greatest, and it also concerns the reputation of the children of the whole clan's career...

If he could choose, He Dongsheng would not want any outsider to know the inside story, but now he needs someone to discuss countermeasures. The younger brother could not raise the rope with tofu at all, so he could only rely on his confidant staff.

Fortunately, three staff members have followed him for many years, and he deliberately collected the handles of the three, which is reliable.

Li Zhenwen, Qi Lianhai and Wang Zhuan arrived at the study early in the morning. They all looked at the nose and the heart. They deliberately did not look at He Beisheng, who was still wearing a slap on his face behind He Dongsheng, but they all shook their heads in their hearts. I know if Dongweng's slap can wake up this innocent fifth master.

Li Zhenwen followed He Dongsheng for the longest time, and was the first master after he entered the officialdom. He also did a lot of things for him and was the first among his aides. Therefore, when He Dongsheng settled down, Li Zhenwen came out to report first.

"He Xiang has already asked him all. He Mian has a good friend and gave birth to a son for him. The mother and son are both in Nanchang. But instructing someone to report Chen Qi, in addition to the person who reported the news, it is indeed the second master's intention." Li Zhenwen said as he looked at He Dongsheng's expression.

He Dongsheng had no expression and had no thoughts about what his second brother did. If he was in Songjiang, he would have taken action against the Shen family when he encountered such a good opportunity. However, this time his second brother encountered a tough guy, and the mantis stalked the cicada. The oriole was behind, and someone bribed the people around him and fell into the plot of others.

However, He Beisheng was shocked and sad when he heard this.

Li Zhenwen lowered his eyelids and said, "What He Xiang said is that in addition to He Mian, there are six branches of the tribe, He Yansheng, and He Yong, the thirteenth house. He Yansheng was the one who first looked for He Xiang, but he did not have it after the Japanese riots. He Xiang said that there were He Yansheng's people in the Shen family's clan room, but I was afraid he had followed the car that was wearing Shen Dong back to Nanchang. He Yong should still be in Songjiang now."

He Beisheng was shocked and couldn't help but stand up and said anxiously: "What? What? Brother Xiaodong, the Shen family's Zongfang, is really..."

He Dongsheng's hands were tight when he heard this. The eldest wife of the Shen family clan was kept under the knees of Mrs. He. They had always had a good relationship... But when he saw his younger brother lose his composure again, he slapped the table with a heavy palm and shouted: " The He family and the Shen family have been plotting against others, please sit down!"

He Beisheng opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, and slowly sat down with the armrest of the official hat chair.

He Dongsheng signaled to Li Zhenwen to continue, but Li Zhenwen said that the punishment had been exhausted and He Xiang could not dig out more. He Xiang was also a pawn and didn't know much.

He Yansheng, He Dongsheng really couldn't remember what he looked like. He had been an official outside, was not familiar with his clan members, and even had no idea about the six vassals who belonged to the vassal branch. He turned to see He Beisheng and asked him about the six vassals He Yansheng. He Beisheng also looked confused.

He Dongsheng sighed in his heart, but said sternly: "The He family has hundreds of people, and the quality is different, so naturally they cannot be familiar with them one by one, but the people around him must choose the right ones and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes!"

He Beisheng responded with timidity.

Qi Lianhai was responsible for getting the East Factory Hu Bingrui. Seeing that the matter here came to an end, he spoke, "Eunuch Hu said, that sentence has arrived in front of the imperial court."

He Dongsheng remained calm on his face, and his heart was relieved.

Qi Lianhai had a fat and round face, and was born with a pair of smiling eyes. He usually looked like he smiled, but now his face showed some bitterness, "However, Eunuch Hu said that Eunuch Qiu was short of several good calligraphy and paintings in his house.

.”

How many, pictures?! He Dongsheng bit his back teeth and cursed the greedy eunuch in his heart.

However, when he decided to take this path at the beginning, he knew that this would be the result. Fortunately, the He family has a great career and can afford it.

But you have to be more careful about this matter. Now it is when civil officials look down on eunuchs. As he knows, another group of censors will be driven by the cabinet masters to impeach the internal officials. If it were not forcing them,

, He really would not take the risk of getting in touch with eunuchs at this time.

He repeatedly instructed Qi Lianhai to do things secretly before looking at Wang Zhuan again.

Wang Zhuan's pair of mung beans turned his eyes and touched the short beard on his lips. He said seriously: "As Dongweng expected, Qiao San's son-in-law went to the Shen family, but the Shen family didn't like him very much.

First, he didn't let him in, but later he came out after just a cup of tea. Look at the boy's expression, it was not very good. As for the Qiao family..."

Wang Zhuan's mung bean eyes showed a bit of joy, as if he was suppressing a smile, and said, "Dongweng, guess what, Qiao Da'er came to him, saying that he knew more than Qiao San, and he was

If you never hire, you don’t need to use your connections to seek a lack of official positions. Just save money for him to get in contact with him.”

Others look a little funny and speak very humorously. With the taste of a storyteller in the city, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Even He Beisheng, who was full of sorrow, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile.

He Dongsheng laughed twice, and said coldly: "It is a blessing for my He family to have a family like the Qiao family in Shen family. I will give you some information to Qiao San and tell him not to hold him. It depends on who can give it to them.

I have more news about the Sun family.”

Wang Zhuan smiled and said, "The Qiao family knows everything, but they have to prevent them from misleading us for some money. Also, Dongweng and Qiao's son-in-law went to the Shen family to report the news in such a hurry.

I was afraid that there were ghosts here, so the students had sent someone to follow me..."

Qi Lianhai interjected: "If the Qiao family is really willing to teach for money, it would be better to say whatever they want. His family is the second wife of the Shen family. As long as they are willing to stand up and speak, it is the best evidence."

He Dongsheng waved his hand, "The boss of the Qiao family was pushed out to the tank for three years ago, and he was in prison for a long time. Shen Cang spent thousands of taels of silver to get his whole beard and tail. The man was scared.

He dared not to show off his courage, but he would never dare to come out to testify."

"The second son of the Shen family is in business, and he has no prospects or courage. The third son is still thinking about his future. He is also a smart person. It is not difficult for him to speak, but it is impossible for him to stand up." He Dongsheng glanced at him and was a little stunned.

The stunned young brother coughed in dissatisfaction.

He Beisheng's confused expression had not yet restrained his face. He bribed the eunuch. Is this his noble literary brother?

The second wife of the Qiao family? Isn’t the second brother plotting against the fifth wife of the Shen family? What’s the matter with the second wife of the Shen family?

The second wife of the Shen family has passed away, and the highest rank of officials is still in Nanjing. What is the deal with the second wife of the Shen family?

All kinds of confusion made him more and more confused. His eyes moved to his elder brother, as if he was muttering in a dream: "Shen family... second wife? What does the second brother have to do with the second wife of the Shen family?... Can you save the second brother?"

He Dongsheng's brows were loosely tightened because of the good show of the Qiao family, but he ignored He Beisheng and instead ordered Wang Zhuan: "The son-in-law of the Qiao family is very interesting. I heard from the old lady that she has been talking about a story for sixty years.

You can also send someone to Songjiang to see if there is anything to dig out. What should Qiao San dare to marry someone from the Shen family? There must be articles here. If you can dig out from that kid

The Shen family has the best handle.”

He also ordered Li Zhenwen to deal with He Xiang, sent someone to secretly arrest He Yong, find He Yansheng's family, clean up the traces of the He family as much as possible, etc., and sent the three of them down.

After leaving, He Dongsheng turned to He Beisheng and said sternly: "I have said that it is now related to the life and death of the family. From now on, forget about saving the second child. Now, we must save the life of the family first!

The second brother is exiled, but he will suffer a lot of suffering. After the new emperor ascends the throne and is about to get married. If there is another prince, he will eventually be pardoned. Then the second brother will come back."

He Beisheng was stunned, turned his head in pain, and responded muffledly.

He Dongsheng's face became more and more solemn, and he knocked on the table to signal. When He Beisheng came over, he stared at him and said seriously: "Fifth, you must understand that I, your second brother, do so many things for the sake of

What? Nowadays, the He family members are far less capable than the Shen family members in the imperial examination. If this situation is not reversed, more than ten or twenty years later, more and more people will be in the Shen family's officialdom. Where can the He family stand in Songjiang?

The second wife of the Shen family was not to save the second child, but to curb the Shen family's career."

He Beisheng was obviously even more confused. After thinking for a moment, his face was still full of surprise and stuttering: "This, this is too, too... it's all from fifty or sixty years ago. How to check... Don't say

Grandpa Sun, even Sun has been dead for several years. Even if you check something, how can you move the Shen family..."

He Dongsheng said coldly: "I bowed my head to the eunuch, not to dig out the Shen family's affairs from the Yan family, but to make these things reach the heaven's hearing. Without empirical evidence, some things cannot be written to impeach, only

This strategy can be implemented. However, it is not a proof to the emperor. As long as the emperor has suspicion in his heart, the Shen family will not be able to make any progress in their careers."

He Beisheng widened his eyes, obviously he didn't expect this to happen anyway.

He Dongsheng once again cursed a fool in his heart, complaining that his mother was too doting on her young son and taught him to be a pedantic and stupid nerd.

"You are also doing things in the future. Don't just focus on temporary gains and losses. You must look at the long-term and focus on the overall situation before you can make a move to build a family." He Dongsheng had already explained to He Beisheng in the tone of educating the next generation of family members.

Thinking about some time, I sent a few more people to follow Lao Wu back to Songjiang. If you take time, maybe...

actually……

A thought had been lingering in He Dongsheng's mind for a long time - if he directly defeated the Shen family, Lao Wu would be a little stupid, and the He family's status in Songjiang was also stable.

"Fifty or sixty years ago, fifty or sixty years ago..." He Dongsheng's eyes were cold and he whispered: "There was an earth-shaking event fifty or sixty years ago. Xu Youzhen got what happened... If the surname Sun and the Shen family...

Oh……"

Qiao's old house, outer courtyard flower hall

Generally, when parents die, brothers will live together in the same place and stay mourn for three years before moving away.

The Qiao family is different. During the incident, the three brothers had already become disunited. After the separation of the family, Qiao Er and Qiao San moved out. Master Qiao Da was the eldest son and grandson of the old house naturally occupied the old house.

In the past three years of mourning, in addition to the indispensable sacrifices such as worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, Qiao Er and Qiao San came to his elder brother.

This time, Master Qiao informed his two younger brothers that he wanted to do a great ritual for his mother. This was also a filial act. However, this elder brother said that life was difficult and he couldn't afford much money.

The two younger brothers raised money together.

Both of them were dissatisfied. His mother was so angry that she was so angry that she was doing rituals and showed her filial piety. Who would you like to borrow an introduction to get some money?

Master Qiao Er always needs to be more affordable when he has a shop. He even told Master Qiao San privately that he had just taken this house and asked Master Three to keep the money and spend it on the knife - it is important to find a good place for a while.

Master Qiao San is still quite grateful for the friendship between the second brother. After reading this in recent years, this second brother, who is a concubine, is much better than the eldest brother who is a legitimate child.

It turned out that he was more angry with his elder brother. Unexpectedly, within two days, he got the news that Mr. Qiao San hated Mr. Qiao like an enemy, and rushed to the old house angrily to argue with his elder brother.

In the flower hall, Master Qiao San looked at the elder brother who was drinking tea on the other side, almost trying to put the teacup on the ground, "What does this mean by brother? Can you stand be ashamed of me?"

Mr. Qiao is much fatter than before, but his spirit is not as strong as before. The fatness on his face is not like flesh, but more like swelling. Now it is blue and black, which looks like his body is hollowed out by wine. God knows he

How to keep this filial piety?

Master Qiao snatched a sip of tea and said slowly: "Three, what are you saying?"

Master Qiao San stared at Master Qiao and said word by word: "How do you know that the He family is coming to me? But you are staring at my family? My brother ran to contact the He family for the sake of his family?"

Master Qiao sneered and said, "If the He family can come to find you, can't come to me? The He family wants to know the ideas. You have been an official in the past few years. How much can you know? Not as much as I, a local household, know.

.How come this depends on me?"

Master Qiao San had a blue face and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Dare you say it's not the He family you went to find?!"

When the news came from the He family, he was almost furious. Is this big brother here to defeat him?

He was in a good career back then, and he was about to be promoted to two levels. At that time, Shen Cang was still alive. If he helped to do something for one or two, he would be able to stay in Beijing and do better. In a few years, maybe he would be able to do it now.

The minister of the official position may not be much worse than He Dongsheng!
