It is said that "hearing both sides will make you clear, and listening partially will make you dark", but because Zhang Yong was disgusted with Zhao Xianzhong, the snobbish prefect, he listened to the dialogue between his grandparents and grandchildren, and his impression of the Shen family's "good family inheritance" was even better. In addition, he Although I have never seen Shen Rui, I have seen Chen Li, Chen Jin and Chen Ying. Compared with the old ministers in the court who "rely on their seniority" who only want to fight for power and profit with the ranks and supervisors, Chen The brothers in this family have fewer official positions and more elegant scholars, and are much more respectable.
After the grandparents and grandchildren left, Zhang Yong couldn't help but say to Wang Shouren: "Who is this Sun Gongren? Who is Lord Shen, who has won the fourth-rank imperial edict?"
The wife is honored by her husband, and the mother is noble by her son. The wife of the inner house has a royal decree before her life and is granted a gift after her death. Most of the husband or son asks for a gift. Before she came to investigate the case, Zhang Yong also read out the information of the Shen family before leaving Beijing. The most prominent house in the capital was that although he had two top scholars from the house, he was young and still had qualifications. Some of the other tribesmen also had officials, but they all had low grades. Perhaps Sun's family Because of the deceased, and the preparations for information in Beijing are in a hurry, the Sun family is not mentioned in the city.
Wang Shouren said: "Sun Gongren was not granted a title because of his husband's fault, but because of building bridges and roads, he did many good deeds. The then prefect of Songjiang, Mr. Jiang, asked the title to the court for title."
"It's so? No wonder the Shen family has such a virtuous wife!" Zhang Yong praised. He said this, but he didn't agree with it. Needless to say that this is another resentful woman who is not favored by her husband, otherwise she would be a woman He only focuses on taking care of his husband and children, so how could he worry about building bridges and roads, and other people’s food and clothing? Most of them have a generous dowry and seek a good reputation to avoid the husband’s family’s “popular concubines and destroying their wives”.
Wang Shouren said: "This Sun Gongren is no other person, he is Shen Rui's biological mother and Xiao Shen's first-class mother."
Because of Chen Li, the two brothers of the Chen Jin clan won the top scorer one after another. In order to distinguish between the two, Chen Li was called the big Chen Zhuang, and Chen Jin was called the Xiao Shen Zhuang.
When Zhang Yong heard this, he was shocked. The legitimate son was born and the legitimate son was born and the legitimate son was born and the legitimate son was forced to leave the clan. Be the heir in person.
When Sun died of illness, Wang Shouren happened to be in Songjiang. He had seen the scene of Sun's funeral. Sun was indeed a good person, but it was a pity to meet the situation. It was rare that Shen Rui did not grow up, and was still generous and kind, with his character and his mother. It was passed down from generation to generation, and his expression was a little sighed.
In Zhang Yong's eyes, Shen Rui seemed to have become a "little pitiful". His mother lost her father and she was a successor in her teens. She is half-aged. How can she get close to her parents? No wonder the emperor is afraid that people will bully Shen Rui. It turns out that Songjiang It's still his sadness.
The two of them sighed, and saw another table of guests having tea in the seat next to them.
Compared with the simple grandparents and grandchildren, the three of them wore silk clothes. The leader was wearing a green silk robe. His eyes were too flexible, with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, and his face looked bad. In addition, his clothes were a little fat, which seemed to be They were wearing other people's clothes. The other two looked black and looked much thicker. They didn't match them with blue silk clothes.
Seeing Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren were all wearing Confucian uniforms, the man in blue looked at him for a few more times. Fang asked Dr. Tea to order tea, and ordered two more plates of refreshments. He began to speak at the top of his voice about the "Japanese pirates came ashore" more than two months ago. "The disaster."
"That's so miserable. Not only did my shop be stolen, but the shop was burned. Seeing that the shopkeeper and the shop had not run away, they all turned into coke!" The man in blue said with a sad face.
The man in the left hand responded, "I have robbed the shop and lost a lot of money, right?"
The man in green nodded quickly and said, "Brother Zhang said it, isn't it? I'm a cloth shop. I just collected half a boat of cloth and put it in the warehouse. There was no left at all, and the loss was several hundred taels. Humph, I'm wronged.
The head is the master of debt. No matter how powerful the Shen family is, if you don’t pay me money, I will fight the Shen family to the end in the lawsuit! Bah! I pretend to be a good person on weekdays, but I am really slandered. Alas, I don’t know
Can you get it back? Everyone thinks that their family is the richest man in Songjiang, but in fact it has been empty inside."
The man on his right hand said, "No, there are still a lot of fields outside the Shen family city."
The man in Qingyi said, "Brother Li, outsiders all see the beauty of the Shen family, but the Shen family also has many places to spend money. If it weren't for the money and money being smashed down, would there be so many juren and scholars? The Shen family is studying,
Other people's children also study, why is the Shen family so awesome? They don't talk about the things that bully the market on weekdays. They should never ignore their neighbors and attract Japanese people? They come to plunder and cheat the people in this city. Anyway, I won't look for others.
I'm looking for the culprit of the Shen family!"
The man in blue had such a loud voice, which naturally attracted the attention of the tea guests in the lobby. Many people believed this statement and were filled with a little indignation. Zhang Yong saw it in his eyes and sneered in his heart, and accidentally saw the tea.
The doctor's expression.
Dr. Tea is in his fifties and is old. He obviously disagrees with this statement. He frowned slightly and only shook his head slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Although Zhang Yong entered the palace after a young age, the palace was the most tempered person, and he also sent a lot of heterodyne, so he naturally trained his good skills in defending people.
Seeing that the three of them finished a long article, Niu drank two cups of tea, chewed a few plates of refreshments, and left the account. Zhang Yong also stood up, left a piece of silver, and signaled Wang Shouren to follow.
Both of them saw the wrong thing between the three people. The man in blue did not look like a businessman, but more like a scoundrel; the other two followers, one line, were very stiff, as if they had been behind the scenes before.
.
Although I don’t know who instructed me, these people obviously deliberately spread the gossip of the Shen family and instigated public opinion.
The two of them were surrounded by three people from afar. As they saw these three people meet another bustling teahouse, the story repeats itself, which verifies the previous guess.
The two were imperial envoys, and they were traveling in condoms around them, but there were also Jinyiwei following the guards around them. Zhang Yong called the familiar little flag and asked him to keep a close eye on the three people, especially the man in Qing, to see that this person finally returned.
where.
Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren went to the inn where they stayed.
The two of them were traveling outside for most of the day, and they washed up briefly, so they asked for a table of mats and used them in a hurry.
After the table was removed and the tea was served, Zhang Yong asked someone to see if Xiaoqi was watching, but he said to Wang Shouren: "It's not really Zhao Xianzhong's instructor, right?" He said this, and he was already in his heart.
Eighty percent confirmed.
According to previous information, the Shen family is also a "big man" in Songjiang. How could ordinary families take the initiative to compete with the Shen family? It would be different if Zhao Xianzhong was the prefect. He was the prefect and had such a big mess under his rule. If he could not find it.
The scapegoat is difficult to protect, not to mention the black sand, and its capital and life are also dangerous.
Because Wang Shouren knew the situation of Songjiang and knew that the Chen He family had been fighting in secret over the years, the more people they suspected were the He family. However, Zhao Xianzhong could submit such a memorial and detain the Shen family without any evidence. He was not clear about it. That's it.
"Prince Zhao has a motive, but there are traces to follow, and it is too careless to act. It may not be the commander of the Prime Minister Zhao." Wang Shouren said.
Zhang Yongqing snorted: "It's just a guilty heart, otherwise why bother to add to it!"
As he spoke, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, who was in charge of stalking, returned and replied: "The man went to two more teahouses, and they left immediately after they finished speaking. Later, he went to the first house on the back street of the prefect's yamen. The following is the nearby one Someone asked about the family's surname was Wang, the head of the household was a businessman. He died at the beginning of the year and left a little widow. Now there are only the little widow and the little widow's mother, and two servants, a family of four. However, this little widow He looks good and won the favor of his confidant Yan Juren, the prefect, and last night, he stayed at the Wang family. The man in green was not the head of the cloth village, but a gangster in Nancheng. He often came to the little widow's house and said he was a little girl. The widow's cousin."
Zhang Yong ordered the small flag to go and continue to take people to stare at the Wang family's house.
Xiaoqi got the order and Zhang Yong took a little proudly and said, "Tsk tsk! What are our family sayings? What kind of house is the outer house of the prefect and the staff is just a cover. There is no one else, just that guy Zhao Xianzhong! If he was honest, If you don’t do anything, it’s really hard for our family to check him casually, but looking at his eating behavior, it’s too ugly. He’s just a little bitch and thinks others are fools!”
Wang Shouren nodded and heard this, but he was a little confused. Along the way, he was also studying the man Zhao Xianzhong.
Although he has never dealt with Zhao Xianzhong, he is not a mediocre person, otherwise there are people in the court who will not be as fat as the prefect of Songjiang. It's just that he is not lucky. After this, his career will be over. How he wanted to shirk responsibility for the Shen family, he was not only a parent in the same place, but also wanted to protect himself from being in a situation where hundreds of people were injured or killed. Even if he was in the situation, he was confused and did not do it. Is it because of the ruler Yan’s decision to make such a rough layout?
*
It is indeed someone who makes his own decisions, but it is not Yan Juren, but Zhang.
Zhang has a great relationship with the Shen family, and the reason for the Shen family is somewhat due to the Shen family. He hated the Shen family and knew that the Shen family's top scholar Chen Li returned to Songjiang, for fear that the Shen family would "escape from the sky", so he thought of this. come out.
As for this man in green, Zhang was ordered by Juren Yan a few months ago to win over the idleness. Because Juren Yan was hidden behind the scenes, the ones who came out to spoil the idleness were Zhang, so these idlenesses naturally followed Zhang. The order.
Zhang's young and beautiful appearance, and these idle people are coveted, but they also know that this is the forbidden body of Juren Yan. There is a magistrate's backer behind him. It is not something that he can get involved with, but it is just a pleasure to have a look. Zhang's gluttonous body is full of money. He glanced at his chest several times.
Zhang did not think it was offensive, but was amused by these greedy cats and laughed loudly. He ordered the idles to say, "Continue to stare at the Shen family, no matter what happens there, come and say... …” When I said this, there was still a smile on my face, but my voice was a little cold: “Especially the news about the fourth room of the Shen family, be extra careful and don’t let it go…”
The group of idle people received ten taels of silver rewards and went there happily, muttering in their hearts: "Isn't this lady Zhang brought back from another place? Why is it like the enemy of the Shen family? The most toxic woman's heart , It seems that no one can offend a woman... She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she is about the age of the top scholar of the fourth family of the Shen family. Could it be that she has an engagement with the Shen family? But what kind of family is the Shen family? Even if she is more beautiful, she is not worthy of it."
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I threw it behind my head and continued to stare at the Shen family.
