Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 554
Although Wang Xingzhi's body has not been transported back to Jiankang, the Wang family has mourned both inside and outside.

There are many members of the Wangmen sect, many of them are outside, and there are also many of them who stay in the capital.A large number of clansmen gathered in the mansion, learned more about the inside story of Wang Xingzhi's death, and their resentment towards the Shen family became even more raging and unstoppable.Especially Wang Biaozhi, who had been victimized a long time ago, repeatedly cried and fainted under the bed curtain.Many disciples even prepared their bows and knives, ready to directly kill the Princess Mansion, which was very close at hand.

However, Director Wang changed his gentle attitude from the past, and his voice and demeanor were stern, and he strictly ordered his children not to leave the house without authorization.

In the past two days, Wang Dao's spirit has obviously declined, and even his temples have added a lot of gray hair.In the past two days, apart from his worries, he greeted and sent him off, and he also took care of Wang Xingzhi's funeral preparations by himself, treating him like his own son.Many things that could have been entrusted to others must be done by oneself.Through this kind of hard work, I express my guilt towards Wang Bin.

He was one of the few people who knew the inside story deeply, and he knew very well in his heart that instead of blaming Shen Zhezi for this matter, he should bear a great deal of responsibility for Wang Xingzhi's death.But the hidden secrets in this are destined not to be disclosed to the outside, otherwise not only the family will be in trouble, but even his two sons, Wang Tian and Wang Qia, will be implicated by his biological mother, and they will be underestimated by the people of the time.

The dead are gone, and the living must continue.While tiring himself, Director Wang also sincerely hopes that the souls of the dead under Wang Xingzhiquan can rest in peace, and stop holding grudges against the world.

Among the many visiting relatives and friends, Wang Xingzhi's father-in-law, Song Zhe, was the most important to Wang Xingzhi.

Song Zhe has advanced in martial arts, although he is nearly fifty years old, his spirit is still hale and hearty, but he is also very haggard at the moment. Seeing Wang Dao's sad look, his eyes can't help but feel hot: "The young man who was visiting in the court the day before yesterday is now It's life and death...Besides the heartbreak, there is one more thing to ask, why did Wang Lang die? There are already divergent opinions outside, and many dare not to hear it carefully, so I can only ask the Taibao."

After Wang Dao heard the words, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the princess mansion across the street, stepped forward to hold Song Zhe, and whispered: "It is inconvenient to go into details here, please come to the mansion to discuss it in detail."

Song Zhe had put Wang Dao's little eyes in his eyes, and looked sideways at his son beside him. Then Song Yanzhi got the signal, and Dang Shi led a group of strong slaves behind him to walk a few feet away from the princess mansion, and stood there, relieved. He lowered the bow by his waist, buckled and drew the bowstring to the sky three times, and then returned crying loudly, and walked into the Wang's mansion with his father.

This scene fell into the eyes of others, and everyone talked about it, either excited or worried, with different expressions.

Song Zhe is now also an important minister in Taiwan. When he enters the mansion, all the princes of the Wang family will stand together to welcome him.It's just that the plain Wang Xizhi snorted coldly when he saw who was coming, and then walked away.Wang Huzhi and Wang Qizhi, who were standing beside him, also pulled away. Wang Xizhi's father, Wang Kuang, was their uncle.

Seeing this scene, Director Wang sighed in his heart, and then asked people to bring Wang Xingzhi's wife, Mrs. Song, and Wang Bin's other sons over to meet his relatives, to ease the embarrassment.

Song Zhe didn't stay in the mansion for long, after comforting the newly widowed daughter, he visited the old man of Wang's family, left a few family members to help, and then left.He also knew that his family was not to the Wang family's liking, and it was just to avoid embarrassment by asking his son to behave before entering the door. Right now, Wang Xingzhi's body has not been sent back, and his in-law Wang Bin is not at home, so it would be awkward to stay for a long time.

In the evening, the number of guests visiting decreased, and Director Wang was finally able to rest for a while.It's just that as soon as I closed my eyes, the family members who had been sent to work in the village earlier had returned, but things didn't go smoothly.

"Didn't Lei Chong be found? He and his relatives were all detained by the county government?"

When Director Wang heard this, his body froze suddenly, his tiredness disappeared, and he suddenly stood up from the seat.

Seeing Director Wang's attitude, the family didn't know that it was a big deal to go out this time, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "By the time I got there, it was already a little late. The Lei family was already in chaos. After being crushed, he did not return home, and fled to other places. Then he wandered around to inquire, only to find out that Lei Chong had been captured by the county government when it was dark last night."

"Who is the county magistrate of Langya? Have you gone to ask for someone?"

Director Wang asked anxiously again, although Langya is from another village, he really doesn't know who the local Zhengyin is. After all, the level is too low, and changes are frequent.Even if he remembered, maybe he was replaced without knowing it.

"The county magistrate is Chen Guo Chen Su. I just sent a post outside to check, but there was no response. I didn't dare to wait for a long time, so I went to appease the families in the village, and then returned immediately."

"Chen Guo Chen Su?"

When Director Wang heard this, he immediately asked people to inquire about the origin of this Chen Su. After a while, the news came back. There was nothing surprising about this Chen Su. its fighting for.But there is one thing that caught Director Wang's attention. Chen Su's niece is the continuation of Danyang Yin Chuchong's son.

After pondering for a while, Director Wang's expression turned serious, something went wrong!Wang Huzhi leaked the news to the county government too early, and was preempted by others, leaving no time for his family to erase the traces!
"Also, besides Lei Chong, the Bian family's son from another Xiangdou family was also captured by the county government."

Seeing Director Wang's complexion becoming more and more ugly, the family members said cautiously.

At this moment, Wang Huzhi hurried in from the outside, with an ugly expression on his face, he said: "Caibao, there are too many guests driving in front of the courtyard, and there has been a dispute with the Shen family..."

"You still ask me about such a trivial matter? I don't know what to say!"

Contrary to his usual graceful and amiable posture, Director Wang stomped his feet and roared fiercely.

Wang Huzhi was also stunned when he saw this, it was clearly the Taibao who ordered him to be notified first of all matters, big or small, why is he so irritable now?Although there was no shortage of grievances in his heart, he didn't dare to ask in detail, bowed down to plead guilty, and hurriedly withdrew.

After Wang Huzhi was driven away, Director Wang hurried to the desk, wrote an envelope hastily, and handed it to his family: "Send people to Kuaiji quickly, and warn the Confucianists to take important matters seriously, and don't return to the capital for private reasons!"

--------

Shanyin City was originally not big, but now it is the seat of Kuaiji County and East Yangzhou City. It has been expanded many times, and its scale has expanded by more than two times compared with the past.

The county mansion is still under the old rule, and there are many soldiers inside and outside guarding it, but occasionally there is a roar like a trapped animal in the mansion: "Where is Shen Shiju? I want to see him!"

In the mansion, Wang Bin was only wearing a middle coat, his beard and hair were messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was quite ferocious.

General Rong Jia standing opposite him is Cao Shenyi, a soldier of the governor's office. He didn't change his color because of Wang Bin's roar, but just replied respectfully: "Please be safe, sir. Patrol along the river, but have not yet returned to the town. Now that there is a wide range of security within the administration, it is also worried that there may be omissions in the defense line, or that rebels will land on the shore and disturb the interior."

"You don't need to confuse me, old soldier. The pirates were repelled a month ago! I know Shen Shiju is in the office, but he can't avoid me, and he makes people surround my office. Is it true that the heart of rebellion is not dead?"

Wang Bin was getting crazy now, waving his arms and roaring.

Shen Yi didn't feel annoyed at being so insulted, she just sneered and led the crowd to withdraw, still guarding outside the county mansion.

Wang Bin was trapped in the county mansion all the time, until he finally saw Shen Chong two days later.At this moment, he described that he was already withered, and he didn't have much energy. He just glared at Shen Chong and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to return to the capital, you let me go quickly."

Relatively speaking, Shen Chong was much calmer. After hearing the words, he just sat in the banquet with a face full of doubts: "There are personnel affairs in the capital. I also heard a little bit. I should have come to persuade the Confucian brothers to mourn, but I have no time to get away. Your son died early. , It’s really embarrassing, but if you want to abandon your post because of this, it’s against the law. Brother Shiru is trusted by others, and he has the heavy responsibility of Taifu. Disregarding thousands of small people in the land is really disrespectful to a minister. I am doing it for the sake of the Confucian brother, so don't forcefully hurt others."

"My son is in his prime, and the bad news from the family is unclear. I want to go back to the capital to investigate the cause of death, and attend to his funeral. Why not?"

After Wang Bin heard the words, his voice was all stern.

After Shen Chong heard the words, he let out a long sigh, with a good-for-you expression on his face: "Brother Shiru, isn't this a birthday gift idea? In this life, children have always lived in funerals for their father, Ding You, and no father has given up his job because of grief. Confucian brother, dare to be the first to break the etiquette? I have worked with you for a long time, and I really can’t bear the world’s Confucianism. Everyone follows the law, who will entrust state affairs to?"

"I've already said that my son is in his prime and has no serious illness. How could he pass away for no reason? Someone must have harmed him, and I will go back to the capital to investigate! Shen Shiju, you have repeatedly blocked me. Could it be that you are also involved in this matter?"

When Wang Bin talked about this, his face became a bit ferocious: "I don't care about the etiquette. I just need to find out why my son died! If someone kills your family, can you be so lighthearted?"

"Whoever dares to harm my Lin'er, I will kill him all!"

When Shen Chong heard this, his face sank suddenly, and he no longer used the flat tone when he advised Wang Bin, stepped on the table next to him, pointed at Wang Bin and said angrily: "Wang Shiru, I am here to comfort you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you want to speak ill of each other, what's the reason? My son is only Yingjiang, famous in the southeast, is your inferior son comparable?"

Wang Bin was distracted at the moment, and he didn't even have the mentality to adopt that exasperating tone. He just waved his hands and said, "I won't argue with you about who is virtuous or stupid. Are you sure you won't let me return to the capital? Very good, I'd rather Take a look, if you detain a minister today, how will you interrogate him tomorrow!"

Seeing that Wang Bin was on the verge of collapse, Shen Chong sneered, and said, "You want to go your own way and abolish the government for the private affairs of the court, but I have to be responsible for the folks in Kuaiji! If you want to return to the capital, leave the resignation form and come to the capital tomorrow." I submit this to Taichung, and I ask all the princes in Taichung to choose other talents, and the Kuaiji must not be entrusted to you, a person who confuses public and private interests!"

After Wang Bin heard the words, he became even more resentful towards Shen Chong, his eyes almost burst into flames, and his chest heaved violently. After a long time, he pointed at Shen Chong and cursed: "The raccoon has no shame, and turns black and white! You ask yourself, and return to yourself. Since I took office, what has been done to me in the county? Now I still have the face to accuse me of dereliction of duty? Such a poor country, full of treachery and evil, don't let me go! Take a pen and paper, what do you want, I will give you! I will return to the capital today, If you dare to break your promise, your blood will be splashed three feet!"

Shen Chong just stood there, holding his sword with his hand, laughing and saying nothing.Seeing that Wang Bin wrote the resignation letter in front of him, he said with a fake smile: "I was just joking for a while, why should I take it seriously, brother Shiru? Since you are so emotionally hurt, how can I bear it?" Oppose each other. As for the position of the chief executive in Kuaiji, the Taifu decides whether to stay or not, how can it be that you and I can decide by joking."

"Are you going to regret it again?"

After Wang Bin heard the words, his brows were raised immediately, and his face became distorted.

"Brother Shiru, do you really mean it? Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any more. Let's pack your bags now."

Shen Chong dried up the ink on the memorial book, folded it and sealed it, and when he reached the door, he turned his head and said to Wang Bin: "I dare not miss the itinerary of Confucianism for a long time, and I will send someone to send this book back to the capital by boat later The shortest time is ten days, and the longest time is more than a month. When there is an answer from the capital, I will immediately see off the Confucianism!"

"Shen Shiju, you are shameless!"

Wang Bin's roar sounded behind him, and Shen Chong had already strode out. When he was outside the gate of the county mansion, he summoned the officer to hand over Wang Bin's handwriting, and said with a smile: "Jiangzhou should be arriving soon, so people will This letter was sent to Wang Chuming. Wang Shiru was so emotional and stunned for a while, how could I follow him to harm the state affairs? Wouldn’t he become the same stupid as him? Or make people pollute me and oppress him. Wang Chuming is his Clan relatives, always persuade one or two, don't be willful."
