Five hundred and twentieth chapters after the oriole (five)
Shenjiafang, five bedrooms.
After all, it is not the day of the great sacrifice, and it does not take place in one day. The surnames came to worship and showed their faces. They realized that their relationship with the Shen family had eased, so they stood up one after another and left. Only Mr. Zhang claimed that he had the same origin as the Lu family, and saw it Chen Jin and Shen Rui treated Mr. Lu with courtesy, so they came over and had a warm attitude.
In view of Mr. Lu, Chen Jin was also polite, which made Mr. Zhang hesitate, thinking about whether to mention his son and nephew. The opportunity to get the top scorer's personal guidance was hard to come by.
Mr. Lu was helpless and felt that Mr. Zhang's attitude was a bit ugly. But although Mr. Zhang was similar to Mr. Lu, he was not as old as he was, but his seniority was older than Mr. Lu, so it was not the turn of Mr. Lu to say what Mr. Lu said. .
Mr. Lu was a bit aloof in his literati. Even if he wanted to show his favor to the Shen family, he would not be able to stand up and say goodbye to Mr. Zhang.
This is the Wandering family, so it is not easy to keep guests again and again. Chen Jin and Shen Rui got up and asked Mr. Lu. Mr. Zhang himself could not sit down, so he could only get up embarrassedly.
Seeing that Chen Li was no longer coming out, the imperial envoy left for a long time, and the other families were almost leaving, so they looked for Yuzi to come out.
When we arrived at the door of the fifth room, the carriages of the Lu family and Zhang family were ready.
Mr. Zhang was still pulling Chen Jin and chatting endlessly. The "little dog" he said was only in his teens now, not even a child.
The visitor was a guest, and there was also the Lu family's face, Chen Jin was still patiently dealing with it.
The Shen clan members who were watching were dissatisfied with Chen Li's favor for the Lu family, so they naturally did not want the Zhang family to continue to take advantage of the Shen family. Then the branch uncle said, "Mr. Zhang is too anxious, even if he wants to. If we want our brother Jin to give advice, we must let the young master enter the palace school. Now he is still a cute child, so he wants to trouble the top scholar to give advice, which will also help the growth of the seedlings."
And why is it so big? A scholar is thousands or eight hundred miles away from the top scorer, and it is a lucky chance to get guidance. It is ridiculous for a cute child to become the top scorer.
Mr. Lu saw the face of the Shen family, and felt that his face was hot. He frowned and was about to urge Mr. Zhang to get in the car when he heard a burst of footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley.
More than a dozen Jinyiwei roared over, and everyone was stunned to see.
Seeing the Jinyiwei coming to the door of the fifth room, many Shen clan members were frightened, worried that the Shen family's lawsuit would change again.
Mr. Zhang took two steps back and set a distance with Chen Jin and Shen Rui brothers. Mr. Lu did not move, but couldn't help but go to see Chen Jin and Shen Rui brothers. Chen Jin frowned slightly, as if he was worried; Shen Rui's face did not change, not knowing whether he was sure that he was fine or that he was young and fearless.
The leading Jinyiwei was a small flag, and he stopped to look around everyone. Most of the people in this tribe were dressed in white, and those who had five robes also had filial piety belts around their waists; the guests who came to worship were different, but they were just blue and blue clothes.
Xiaoqi's eyes wandered between Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang. He recognized Mr. Lu, looked at Mr. Zhang, raised his chin and said, "Is this Zhang Yaozu?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed and he said embarrassedly: "It's just that I'm down, I wonder if this official?"
The little flag said, "The imperial envoy summons me, please go with me." After that, he signaled his men to go and pull Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was panicked and suddenly remembered the relationship between the imperial envoy and the Lu family, and looked at Mr. Lu with his eyes begging.
Seeing this, Mr. Lu went up to hand over a purse quietly and said politely: "I wonder why the imperial envoy summoned Mr. Zhang?"
The little flag had a face with Mr. Lu at the inn yesterday. He knew that he was an old friend of the imperial envoy and was not proud of it. He said, "The bandit who attacked the imperial envoy last night lived in Zhang Yaozu's house. It seems that there was still some Other things are inappropriate. Mr. Lu should stay away, so don’t be implicated." The latter sentence was because he collected his wallet and persuaded him kindly.
Mr. Zhang heard this and was panicked and said, "Big nephew, there must be a misunderstanding in this. We are the blood of an ancestor and have always shared honor and disgrace. Don't forget to plead with the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy and the Lu family are friends of the world. I will definitely sell you this favor!"
Whether it was intentional or not, Mr. Zhang pointed out the generations of their relatives in one sentence, and the relationship between Mr. Lu and the imperial envoy was also pointed out.
The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Lu with doubts, and withdrew the previous warmth. He waved his hand to his face and said, "Let's go!"
The Shen family's eyes looked at Mr. Lu were hot, as if they were aware of why Chen Li had been before, Chen Jin and others treated Mr. Lu differently, not because of Shen Rui, but because of Mr. Lu and The origin of the imperial envoy.
For a moment, everyone didn't care about what Mr. Zhang was asked about, but came to Mr. Lu and asked about the relationship between the imperial envoy and the Lu family with all his attitude.
Only Chen Hai, Chen Jin, and Shen Rui were not moved.
Because of the lessons of the He family, Chen Hai looked at Mr. Lu and asked directly: "What did Zhang Yaozu do? Did he interfere in the matter of slandering the Shen family?"
A word was so loud that everyone around him shut up.
Both of them are from the Shen clan, and they prosper and lose together. The Lu family and the Zhang family are the same in the eyes of outsiders. If Mr. Zhang really framed the Shen family, then Mr. Lu would probably be innocent.
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Although he has the same origin, the Zhang family of the Lu family is a family of two surnames after all, and the uncle of the Zhang family is an elder. How can he act without reporting to the younger generation?"
Chen Hai had doubted his position because Mr. Lu had a good relationship with the He family. Now this sentence is just like a quibble in his ears. He couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Who doesn't know that you two families are in the same mood? Now It’s not that easy to get rid of it!"
Mr. Lu's face turned red, white, and his temples trembled. Chen Hai was telling the truth, even Mr. Lu himself was worried, fearing that Mr. Zhang would really involve lifeless things to implicate the Lu family.
Only Shen Rui knew about Mr. Lu’s help to the Shen family. Seeing that he was embarrassed, he stepped forward and reminded him: “Since Mr. Zhang asked Uncle Shi, is Uncle Shi going to take a trip? In this way, my nephew will not leave guests.”
Mr. Lu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I'll say goodbye first, my nephew stayed!" After that, he didn't bother to exchange greetings, and hurriedly got on the carriage and urged the coachman to go quickly. Although he was not an official, he was not qualified to go directly to the prefect. The yamen went to inquire, but they had to go to the Zhang family first and see how the Zhang family was involved. And what was going on with the house where the bandits were hiding.
In the eyes of others, Mr. Lu just fled in panic.
Chen Hai looked at Mr. Lu's carriage away and frowned and said, "Who knows whether he is innocent or not? Now he is here to be a good person." He turned to Chen Jin and Shen Rui said, "You know people, but you don't know your heart. Don't ask others for a few good words, just Forget about the distance and closeness!”
Although this is unpleasant, Chen Hai is an elder in front of all the relatives of the clans, so Chen Jin and Shen Rui could only listen honestly.
The people of the tribe left one after another with all kinds of speculations about the Zhang family and Lu family. Even the juniors of the fifth house stayed for two days. Seeing that they could not get involved in everything and could not take advantage of them, they also yawned. The mourning period was still long. Chen Ying hasn't turned around yet, so everyone can just show their presence. It's time to perform well when Chen Ying comes back.
By the time Chen Jin and Shen Rui turned around, Chen Li had already received the news and was waiting in the hall.
Chen Li thought something was wrong before, and always felt that King Ning was trying to fight between two gentry families thousands of miles away. Even if he wanted to gather people, he was too much of a problem. Since he wanted to conquer the two Shen and He families, he shouldn't have been Let the two families form a deadly enemy, otherwise it will be difficult for him to work together in the future. If Juren Yan took his anger at the Shen family for the sake of the marriage between the two families, he did this, wouldn’t he be worried about causing dissatisfaction with King Ning?
Now that the Zhang family is exposed, it can be explained.
Those who really want to provoke the battle between Chen He and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman are Ning Wang on the surface, and there is a local surname in Songjiang in secret, which is more reasonable. Even if Chen He and his family suffer both losses, some people will truly accept the two. Home industry.
"How did this Zhang family connect with the Ning Prince's Mansion?" Chen Li pondered for a moment, still puzzled.
Chen Jin said: "Did you just happen to rent a house in the Zhang family? The Zhang family has tribesmen as officials, but they all have traces to follow. I have never heard of anyone as an official in Nanchang Prefecture!"
Shen Rui said: "If you don't become an official, you can still be a secret agent. However, with Mr. Zhang's personality, he is not a noble character. He is afraid that there will be any direct benefits, which will make him take risks!"
The three brothers of the clan were puzzled and Wang Shouren had already found Zhang Yaozu's resume in the prefect's office.
Zhang Yaozu himself is a supervisor, but his cousin was born in the same Jinshi and is now an official in the magistrate of Shanxi. His cousin failed to pass the three subjects in front of the spring boudoir and once went to Jiangxi to study. The relationship between the Zhang family and the Ning Wangfu, if There is a connection, which can be traced back to that time. Things to note that Zhang Yaozu's eldest daughter married before the "Japanese riot" in Songjiang. At that time, the in-laws claimed to be the Qian family of Nanchang Prefecture. She married in a hurry at that time, and was on the pretext of her husband's name. The elders of the family were in poor health and the wedding date was urgent. They did not place their houses in large quantities, but the dowry was extremely generous. Princess Ning's parents' family was also Qian's family, and I wonder if this Qian family was the same.
In this moment, the Jinyiwei had brought Mr. Zhang to the prefect's office.
Wang Shouren, Zhang Yong, and Gao Nianen were all in the hall. Seeing that Mr. Zhang looked pale and his eyes flashed, Wang Shouren knew something was wrong. This way, he didn't look like he was innocently implicated.

Zhang family, living room.
Mr. Lu looked solemn and said to the woman in the main position: "Auntie, where did the eldest sister marry?"
The woman was crying with a veil and just held a squeak and cried: "I don't know, it's all the master who is the master."
Mr. Lu stood up and said, "You are your biological mother, and you don't even know where your eldest daughter will marry? What's going on in the yard in the north of the city? What's going on with three good things? My uncle doesn't remember it in himself, but directly in In the name of a concubine?"
The concubine's family was just a countryman outside the city, and her in-laws were all in the countryside, and no one came to the city. There was no formal lease contract for the yard, so it was given to a group of outsiders. Those people were killed and set fire to the magistrate's office. The murderer.
Outsiders don’t know that it was the Zhang family’s house, but the Jinyiwei wanted to investigate it was just a trivial matter. As a result, Mr. Zhang turned the name of two turns before, which seemed to be more obvious.
There is also the matter of marrying a daughter. Before, I could fool my relatives and neighbors in the tribe, but if the government really wanted to inquire, it would be impossible.
Mr. Lu remembered that Mr. Zhang had envied the people of Shuntian Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture after drinking, and envied the Zhang family, a descendant of one family and two marquises, and felt that the whole body was cold...
