Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Jiu locked Shen Zhonghe in a small tent next to his big tent, and was afraid that he would move around, so he tied him up.

This small tent is usually used by Shen Jiu's guards to take a nap at noon. The furnishings inside are very simple. Apart from a not particularly large mat and a small round table, there is nothing else.

There were two soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp. When they saw Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian, they saluted them and then retreated a hundred steps away from the small camp.

Ying Wu walked to the small tent first, opened the curtain of the small tent, and then turned sideways to let Shen Haolin and Shen Cha see clearly what was going on inside.

Shen Cha had always been very curious about Shen Zhonghe. When she looked inside, she saw a tied-up middle-aged man sitting on the small round table with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Cha coughed lightly, and then the middle-aged man slowly raised his head, and she could clearly see the appearance of this middle-aged man, Shen Zhonghe.

Because he lived by the sea in his early years and fought at sea, Shen Zhonghe has a dark complexion unique to seaside people. There is a bit of resoluteness between his eyebrows, and his eyes are firm and bright. Although he is getting older, there are a few stars between his temples. It's mottled, but it can still be seen that when he was young, it was probably the kind of style that girls liked. It's no wonder that Tuesday's mother was full of praise for him.

"Commander Shen? Vice Marshal Xue? General Shen?" When Shen Zhonghe saw the people at the entrance of the camp, he stood up from the small round table and sneered, "It's really not as good as being famous if you meet me. I have never thought that the famous people Shen Jiajun is actually such a hospitable person."

"Officer?" Xue Ruitian walked towards the tent with his hands behind his back, waving towards Shen Haolin and Shen Cha to tell them not to follow. "I wonder if Mr. Shen knows who you are calling yourself an official in front of, and who you are showing off as an official in front of?"

Shen Zhonghe said nothing, but looked at Xue Ruitian lightly.

"Everyone present, even our lieutenants, should have a higher rank than Master Shen, right? According to etiquette, Master Shen should pay homage to Shangguan for the first time when he meets him." Xue Ruitian walked to Shen In front of Zhonghe, he looked at him with a half-smile and said, "But Master Shen not only didn't know how to salute and greet him when we met, but instead raised an army to investigate the crime. Is this the attitude you should have towards Shangguan? Furthermore, Master Shen serves in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. , leaving the capital requires the approval of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department and the Ministry of War, and requires the special approval of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department as a guide. Otherwise, if you leave Xijing City without authorization, you will be punished when you return. Master Shen should be very clear about this, right? What's more, you secretly left the capital and came to a border town without a proper reason. We can think that you want to defect, or want to sneak into a border town, secretly contact someone, and detain you, too. Of course. Mr. Shen, if this hat is taken off, you will be punished for several crimes, and you will not be able to bear the consequences. "

Shen Zhonghe's face turned blue and white after being told by Xue Ruitian. He originally wanted to strike first, but he didn't expect that these children would not accept his tricks at all, and would not follow his instructions and just use their official rank to suppress them. It is really simple. Crude but useful.

"What?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows at Shen Zhonghe and smiled evilly, "Can't you say anything to defend yourself?"

"I admire Mr. Xue Hou's eloquent tongue. I really have no way of explaining myself, so there is no need to waste my efforts." Shen Zhonghe saluted Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha, "Your Majesty, Shen Zhonghe, has met Duke Zhen Guo. , Lord Xue, General Shen."

"Please get up. If Mr. Shen had been like this earlier, wouldn't it have happened just now?" Xue Ruitian glanced at Ying Wu and waved his hand towards him, "Untie Mr. Shen, and please move to the big tent, Mr. Shen."

After saying that, Xue Ruitian didn't wait for Shen Zhonghe's reaction, and gestured to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. The group left the small tent and went directly into Shen Jiu's big tent.

Shen Jiu asked his guards to serve tea to everyone, and gave up the seat of honor to Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. He dragged Shen Cha to sit down at the bottom, and examined Shen Cha seriously and carefully. "What are you doing?" Shen Cha looked at him like this and found it a little funny. He reached out and patted his head, "What are you looking at?"

"I heard that you felt unwell again yesterday, right?" Shen Jiu hugged Shen Cha's arm and shook it, "Sister, you have to take good care of yourself!"

"Brother and Miaomiao are both here. Ask them if the situation yesterday was dangerous?"

"There must be no danger, otherwise brother and Sister Miao Miao will not let my sister go, but I will still be very worried." Shen Jiu held Shen Cha's arm and refused to let go, looking at Shen Haolin, "Brother, you You should look at your sister more."

"Do not worry!"

Before Shen Jiu could say anything else, he heard footsteps coming from outside the tent, and Ying Wu led Shen Zhonghe in.

As soon as Shen Zhonghe came in, he saw Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian sitting at the main seat and saluted again.

"The words I just used are offensive. I would like to ask the Duke, Lord Xue and General Shen not to argue with me because I am worried about my wife and children."

"Show me your seat, Lord Shen." Xue Ruitian winked at Ying Wu. When he saw Ying Wu taking a piece of cake and asking Shen Zhonghe to sit down, he continued, "Master Shen, I really don't care about you. But there is a prerequisite, Mr. Shen must tell the truth."

"That's natural." Shen Zhonghe bowed slightly, "Is that woman named Liang really your family's housekeeper, or does she have some unclear relationship with Grandfather Ling?"

"Master Marquis, this is what I want to know too." Shen Zhonghe smiled bitterly, "General Shen told me before that Aunt Liang has been captured by you, so I feel relieved. Otherwise, even if you detain me , I can’t wait here with peace of mind. She has wanted to destroy my Shen family all her life. She can’t do anything to me, so she can only attack my wife and children. "

"Then do you know why she is like this?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Mother Zhou also told us something before, and it probably has something to do with the Shen family's property. She feels that she is the sole heir to the property."

"I heard Er Niang say this, but it shouldn't be all or the main reason." Shen Zhonghe sighed softly, "She especially hates our family, from my grandfather to my father, to me, and even to me His wife and children are extremely disgusting to her."

"why is that?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhonghe shook his head slightly, "But by chance, I heard her say after she was drunk that our family's blood debt must be repaid with blood."
