Chen Quan also felt that the great revenge was avenged. He collected the money from Chen Jun and Chen Qi on his behalf. Although the money was not enough, he could not make him happy.

After all, no matter how much money is, it cannot restore the second brother's arm to the past, nor can it allow his sister-in-law and nephew to come back immediately without any damage. The fifth house is not short of this amount of money.

The only thing he is interested in now is that he must see Lingchi and Yan Baowen.

Chen Lian was also happy - fortunately, Chen Zhu did not implicate the entire third room, but when he thought of his brother and sister-in-law, if he knew that Brother Zhu was exiled to Yunnan, he would not be able to make trouble. He would have a headache when he thought about these things.

If he hadn't been on the burden of managing the family's property, he would have really wanted his family to move to the capital, so he would have avoided his brother and sister-in-law's two scoundrels.

"When Brother Zhu'er sets on the road, I always give him a gift." Chen Lian sighed and said to Shen Rui. He was Chen Zhu's biological uncle. Although Chen Zhu often brought outsiders to harm him when the "Japanese pirates came ashore". shop.

The prisoners and others who he made friends with to leave a way out for himself can now be used by Chen Zhu.

"Brother Li, don't go," Chen Lian advised Chen Li again, "Brother Wu and Brother Zhu are the same. I will send him there together, so as not to show up. Brother Wu is not serious. , and then randomly asked for this and that."

Chen Li learned the verdict from the Xie family as soon as possible, so he asked Chen Jin to come to Renshoufang. Hearing this, he waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I appreciate Uncle Lian's kindness, but Chen Yu is still a son of the Jiufang Zong, I It should be a way."

Chen Lian advised him a few more words, but he had no choice but to let him go. The two of them made an appointment to send Chen Zhu Chen Yan out of the city together.

The Shen family was still immersed in joy, and the news that Mrs. He was swallowing gold in front of the Censorate was brought into the Shen Mansion by Du Laoba.

Du Laoba didn't have to disguise himself as a vegetable farmer this time, but it was not convenient to visit Shen Mansion as his original identity, and he still called himself the door of the British Duke's Mansion guards.

But there is no need to bring Du Laoba to Chen Li. In front of Chen Jin, it was Shen Rui and Chen Quan. Chen Lian went to see him.

In the small flower hall, Du Laoba spitted and stared at the starry-shot talked about the scene that happened in front of the Censorate, and said a little dissatisfied: "I said before, let the old pig and dog not say anything anymore, but a few of them are kind-hearted. .How is it now? Rumors all over the city. I can't help dealing with such people."

Chen Quan gritted his teeth and said, "This old pious woman is really vicious. - she is really cruel."

If Mrs. He did not make trouble for the money, the He family's case would not be new in just two days and no one would mention it again.

When she was so troubled, she had to talk about the streets and alleys as strange stories. She couldn't help but bring out the He family's affairs. Over time, who knows what the truth is?

Even if the sins are extremely serious, they can become deeply wronged.

Shen Rui said slowly: "The Shen family will not be in too much trouble for this matter. The Shen family was originally a miserable person, and no matter how much rumors spread, they can't get around it. But it will affect the reputation of my mentor, Lord Wang Shouren."

Wang Shouren's reward has not yet reached a conclusion.

At this time, if public opinion is not good for Wang Shouren, the big boss in the court will have another excuse to refuse to give Wang Shouren the treatment he deserves.

But Mrs. He's trick is really... too arrogant, who can compete with a dead person for his own strength?

Du Laoba stretched his face and beard all over, glanced at the three of them at a squint, and said, "Continue to say that it is the case that Princess Zhang tried?"

Shen Rui shook his head. It was no longer meaningful to mention Zhang Yong again. The He family had collapsed. Even if Liu Jin wanted to make a fuss about Zhang Yong's case trial, no one could prove it again.

Without threats, Zhang Yong would not bother with the movements outside.

And if you always cling to Zhang Yong, if you annoy him, and investigate the source of the rumors, it will be shooting yourself in the foot.

"Let's talk about this case," Shen Rui said in the end, "Tell me what the people want to hear, who is the old lady He who dares to swallow gold, what his son has done. Tell me what Songjiang used to be and what is now."

Du Laoba's eyes rolled around twice, and smiled so hard that his teeth were shining, "I understand. Don't worry, the second young master."

After talking about this topic, Du Laoba turned and smiled, "I heard that the second young master's property has been taken back, which is really gratifying."

Shen Rui laughed silently and said, "Old Du, you are so quick to hear the gods."

Du Laoba laughed and said, "What we want on the street is fast news." But he did not take out the business of Songjiang cotton cloth as last time.

But he said: "It seems that the second young master Zhang's future family, Wu Jingbo's mansion, will also have many fabric houses in Wujingfu."

Shen Rui was stunned. Although he had a good relationship with Zhang Hui now, he knew that Zhang Hui had made a date with the youngest daughter of Wu Jingbo family and could get married around Xia and Qiu, but he had no time to have any leisure time to see what kind of industry does Wu Jingbo family have?

Since Du Laoba said so... I think that's the grandson who tried to test that he would not do business with someone like Du Laoba, and was going to let Wu Jingbo's family join in?

Shen Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "I haven't heard of this. I'll ask Brother Zhang for advice on business in the future."

They are all wise people. When Du Laoba saw that he understood, he didn't say much, smiled and changed the subject, and asked about the details of the carriage and horses, and then received the big red seal of the Shen family and said Leaving happily.

On the day when the escorts of the prisoners went to the exile, Chen Lian and Chen Li waited early in the Chang Pavilion outside the south of the city.

The escort officer was familiar with Chen Lian and took many benefits. He took care of Chen Zhu and Chen Yan. When he saw Chen Lian, he smiled without any scruples and said, "I'll just feel wronged and you'll be shackled later. After walking for a while, I got rid of the shackles.”

Chen Lian hurriedly laughed with her wrists, and then the silver note fell into the official sleeve bag, "It's cold, brothers, drink a cup of hot tea and warm your hands."

The official officer smiled and said, "You are kind to me, please feel free to let me leave it to us."

Looking at the two nephews, they had long lost the appearance of the rich and noble young man. They were covered with prison clothes and were like two savages, and their hair and beards were all messy.

When Chen Zhu saw Chen Lian, she had long wanted to go over and cry, but she had eaten a lot of honestly these days, and kept secretly judging the face of the official cadre and did not dare to move.

Seeing that the official officer and Chen Lian were quite familiar with each other, Chen Lian stuffed silver to talk to him, Chen Zhu suddenly begged Chen Lian: "Uncle Fourth, please have some money with me, I don't want to live a hard life! Fourth uncle, tell my parents and ask them to come and find me..."

Chen Lian was not willing to bear it. He walked over and wanted to pat his nephew's shoulder, but couldn't find a place to start.

He wanted to give Chen Zhu a silver note, but the prison clothes didn't even have a pocket. Chen Zhu was carrying a shackle and his hands were not free.

In the end, he could only say: "I will go to Mr. Li (official envoy) to save some silver with you. When I return to Songjiang, I will ask your parents to find you. Take care of yourself along the way."

Chen Zhu was crying and her face was full of tears, but she couldn't wipe it. She seemed more and more lusty and said repeatedly: "Uncle Fourth, you have to ask my parents to come earlier, otherwise I would have died on the road..."

Chen Lian said to the official's messenger and said, "Don't talk nonsense! I listened to Mr. Li's instructions on the way and don't cause trouble with the man."

Chen Zhu was scared of being cleaned up, and immediately fell silent when she heard this. She looked at the official in fear, and looked at Chen Lian pitifully.

Chen Lian sighed in his heart. This nephew is good at studying, and he always has eyes on his head. He never takes anyone seriously and has no respect for him, his elder. Now he has become like this.

Forget it, it’s good that this is not bad. If you can get rid of the annoying temperament after this hardship, it may be a blessing.

Looking at Chen Lie there, he was not as arrogant as before, and he was not as silly as before. He didn't even say anything. When he saw Chen Lian, he pretended not to see Chen Li. He was talking lively, but he seemed to have never heard of it.

Chen Lian sighed even more.

Although they are of different ages, they are similar in age. They were classmates who studied at home. They were once friends who were drinking and eating. After Sun's death, they planned to make up for the Sun's dowry industry. Chen Lian and Chen Yu were both Have a share.

Thinking of the beginning, Chen Lian felt even more upset. At that time, he saw money and was moved by Uncle Zhang. He planned for a while. Later, not only did he lose his reputation, but he became famous in the clan, and the money was repaid. Liang Zi was also It has been formed... no one has ever had a chance. However, nowadays, people should do more good deeds and less evil, so as not to be blessed.

Chen Li looked at Chen Li, and his heart was no longer happy or sad, as if he was looking at a stranger. Although he also took care of the official position, he only said, "You should do it yourself."

Chen Yan stared at him, his cheeks twitched a few times, and his lips trembled a few times, and he finally squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, but he didn't say anything.

The time to travel was too late, and there was no need to say much. The official there collected the money that Chen Lian had saved for Chen Zhu and Chen Yuan. I don’t know how much it could be used on them, so I took the people away.

But after more than a month, Chen Lian returned to Songjiang and said that the situation between them was completely different from the three-bedroom Chenhu couple and the nine-bedroom Grandpa.

The Jinyiwei came to confiscate the He family, which was far more sensation than the Zhang family, and the entire Songjiang Mansion trembled a few times. So he came to confiscate the Shenzhu again, and Chen Wu, three and nine rooms were scared, and he was honestly allowed to confiscate the house.

Chen Zhu has not much property under his name, but Chen Fu is a son of Jiufang, and in name, Jiufang belongs to him.

The Ninth Grandpa was biased and refused to divide Chen Lin's family, for fear of dividing the property of his baby grandson. Now, Jiufang was completely copied.

Chen Hu and his wife had a heart-to-heart pain as if they were young. After knowing the verdict, they cried and said that Chen Zhu was all harmed by a traitor, which instead caused the family to lose money.

Chen Lian, who was returning, said Chen Zhu's request before exile. Chen Hu refused directly and took the fan and gestured: "My body is so bad, how can I travel thousands of miles to see him? Besides, he is also a great man. I am a sir, I should be able to take good care of myself.”

Grandma Hu Da didn't take the words to see her son, but instead criticized Chen Lian: "You are the fourth uncle of the child, why don't you take good care of him? Just take good care of him and see if he's settled it before coming back! OK A cruel fourth uncle! If you don’t save him in Beijing, you will not take care of him now!"

She could even act like a scoundrel, saying that since Chen Lian failed to save Shen Zhu, the property that was confiscated should be paid by Shen Lian, at least half of it.

Chen Lian was so angry that he went to Chen Qi to ask the three ranks to be divided again, and he wanted to go to the yamen to cut off all relationships with his brother and sister-in-law.

The house-searched Grandpa Jiufang was scared to death. When Chen Lian heard that his grandson was exiled to Yunnan, no one took care of him. He immediately struggled to get up and went to the clan's legitimate branch to fight Qiufeng from house to house.

He is already the oldest among the families of the legitimate branch. He disregards his face, but others care about it. Moreover, the legitimate branch has a wealth, so he always needs a hundred taels of silver to ask for someone to leave.

After walking down a few rooms, the Ninth Grandpa also got two or three thousand silvers. He originally wanted to force Chen Lin to take the silver to Yunnan to take care of Chen Feng, but he was afraid that Chen Lin would be disobedient, so he took the silver and ran away halfway, but he didn't care about his body. OK, I personally took Chen Lin to Yunnan with the money and left Chen Yu's sixteen-year-old son, the young brother, to build a house and live on the sacrifices of the clan.

This move also made the tribe members speechless.

This is something I will not mention later.

Besides, Chen Lian and Chen Li had just sent Chen Zhu away. On the way out of the city, there were a group of people crying, mostly wearing mourning clothes, white clothes, and from a distance, it looked like a funeral, but in fact it was Another group of officials arrested the He family's exile prisoners on their way.

This industry is mostly women and children, with little feet and little walking slowly, so they left the yamen at the same time as Chen Zhu's group but fell behind.

He Nansheng, the Beisheng family was escorted from Songjiang, and only He Dongsheng family was small and He Beisheng himself.

Chen Li Chen Lian Laidai said goodbye and was about to get on the bus, but someone called over there, "Master Chen."

After turning back, I saw a young official dressed in the seventh-rank official uniform saluting.

Chen Li asked again, "Mr. Cui?"

This person was Cui Chen, the censor who helped Mrs. He that day.

Censor Cui pointed to the He family and said, "Send me a friend."

Chen Li frowned almost unpredictably, but the two nodded and said nothing more, "Please give me a gift, Lord Cui."

However, when Censor Cui was about to board the bus, he asked again: "Sir Chen heard about what happened in front of the Censorate yesterday?"

Chen Li lowered his face and looked at Yushi Cui without replying.

Censor Cui pointed to the He family who came from afar and said, "The He family's Taishu people committed suicide by swallowing gold in front of the Censorate, hoping for justice. I heard that He Shu people also died on the day the house was searched."

As he spoke, the He family had approached. Citic Cui bowed his hand and walked straight toward him.

The leader of the official escort who saw the seventh-rank official uniform, rushed over to pay tribute. Censor Cui said he wanted to send him to He's family. Although he did not give the red seal reward, the official escort was unhappy to offend the serious official, so he let him go.
