Chapter 322 [321] Covering the sky

"I'm wrong?"

"What's wrong? But you heard wrong?"

"Song Feiyin really said that?"

Shifu.

The old woman in the high hall heard the report and sat up in shock.

As Deputy General Liang said, he also had a grotesque expression: "That's how our Anzi in the Song family reported it."

"Whether it's Song Cheng or Second Sister Shi, they can't believe this, and they want to lose their temper."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Mrs. Shi clutched the armrest with her palm, her fingertips turned white, "This must be another good show between that bitch and the Song family!"

"not to mention……"

She looked at the treasure box under the stage, it was the treasure that Vice General Liang retrieved from the inn last night.

She has seen all the things inside, which one is not priceless?
How could a person with such skill be the son of an ordinary sea merchant?
"Song Feiyin wants to monopolize this channel!"

Deputy General Liang took a deep breath: "But we don't even know what the channel is!"

"If that's the case, madam... are you going to let the master speak?"

Mrs. Shi pondered and hesitated.

If you really want to make the master come forward, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

The Xuanwei Division is now very powerful, and what the Shi family is looking at is a sea route that the Ming Fleet sailed to the west.

If this road can be mastered by the Shi family, and the business route connects overseas, it will be the real golden road.

If it is only for a wealthy businessman who does not know where he came from, the master will mistakenly think that his children are fighting for power and profit, and he will definitely be furious.

If you don't confess...

It's too late to regret what Song Feiyin really got.

Mrs. Shi looked at the box of treasures for the last time, and gasped: "Could it be that this treasure came from overseas?"

"Forget it for now, go and check, check the traces of that group of people, keep a close eye on Song Feiyin and that bastard, including Song Cheng!"

"Yes."

Wait for Vice General Liang to leave.

Shi Jisun walked up to the stage and rubbed his mother's shoulders: "My lord, in fact, the child has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Let it go!"

Shi Jisun laughed foolishly, walked to the side, squatted beside his mother and said——

"Let's not mention the issue of 'maritime merchants'."

"Last night, the matter of Wanghai Pavilion was witnessed by countless people. Song Feiyin beat my second sister, and my second sister even said 'divorce letter'."

"He is a son-in-law, how could he bully my second sister like this?"

"If the news gets too big, Song Feiyin will be in trouble."

"Either come to my Shi's house, in front of you and your father, plead guilty, and ask for forgiveness."

"Or go all the way to the dark and break with my Shi family."

"If he chooses the former and comes in front of his father, would he still dare to hide something? Naturally, he will reveal the identities of that group of people. If there is any benefit to be gained, it will always be in my Shi family."

"If he chooses the latter..."

"That must be the business channel of that group of people, so that he has the confidence to get rid of the checks and balances of my Shi family."

"But by that time, will father still tolerate him?!"

"The Song family is dead!"

The words fell.

Mrs. Shi looked at her son in disbelief: "When did you become so eye-catching? You thought of this yourself?"

Shi Jisun said: "Then who else can help me?"

"Mother, although I consider myself inferior to that bitch, I have also learned a lot from being around my father and mother these years."

"Although this method can be aimed directly at the vital point, it will also hurt my Shi family's face. Even if my Shi family divorces my son-in-law, from outsiders' perspective, it's Erjie Shi who can't control men!"

Mrs. Shi sneered: "She can't control men, how can she control Palembang? The daughter's family should do its own business, husband and child!"

"I'll arrange this matter. I want to see what Song Feiyin has behind him!"

Since Shi Jinqing was in charge of the Xuanwei Department, Mrs. Shi presided over all matters of the Shi family.

Of course, Mrs. Shi is not a good person.

She was also the daughter of a wealthy family in her early years, and because of her help, Shi Jinqing gradually rose to the top.

In this giant port city, Mrs. Shi also has a group of diehard loyalists.

Only two days.

The story of Wanghai Pavilion was spread all over the streets and alleys, from the rich and powerful families to the street vendors, and even the fishermen in the fishing port joked, "Second Sister Shi was wrapped in a turban by Song Feiyin, and she was still green."

The theory of a green hat has been around for a long time.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there was Zha Wen, where the family members of prostitutes must wrap green scarves.

Palembang Propaganda Department.

In the high hall of the yamen, Shi Jinqing was furious after reading the official report of his subordinates: "Yu Palembang, An Youxiao dares to insult my Shi family?!"

The official document states all the big and small things that happened in Wanghai Pavilion.

Including Song Qi's attempt to insult the fourth girl, and then Song Feiyin's fight with the second sister Shi and the divorce letter.

No matter what happened, it was all caused by the Song family.

"Take a break from business, come back home with me!"

Shi Jinqing is ambitious.

Even though the Palembang Xuanwei Division relied on Ming Dynasty to build, and the main combat power and weapons came from the support of the imperial court, but he was not emptied, and instead managed it like a monolith.

If it weren't for this incident, he would only go home during the New Year and holidays.

Xuanwei's chariots and horses all moved, with a great momentum.

When the people in the city saw the carriage frame, they knew it was a consolation envoy, and they all bowed and bowed down, and some even bowed and bowed.

When he returned to Shifu.

In the hall there are already big and small stewards gathered, the leader is a son and two daughters, and the son-in-law Chenglong Kuai who has been famous in Palembang for the past two days.

Mrs. Shi greeted her, showing her longing: "Master is busy with work, why did you come back suddenly today?"

Shi Jinqing didn't show his emotions, and he was aware of the infighting in this family.

"I'm not allowed to go home for a family dinner?"

Mrs. Shi hurriedly made arrangements to her servants: "What are you still doing in a daze, prepare the banquet, and make a few dishes to take advantage of the master's wishes."

At this moment, the priority and inferiority are undoubtedly revealed.

Shi Jinqing took a seat on the stage, even Mrs. Shi just stood in the audience.

"I heard that something has happened in Palembang in recent days, who will explain it in detail?"

As soon as the words came out.

Suddenly there were whispers in the hall.

Countless eyes were focused on Second Sister Shi and Song Feiyin.

But at this moment, Shi Jisun was the first to kneel down, tremblingly said: "Father, it's all my fault, Song Qi begged me that day to meet Ah Si..."

"I think with the relationship between our two families, it's okay for the children to have a light meal in private."

"But after drinking for three rounds, Song Qi and I both got on top, and that's why we made a mistake, which almost caused Ah Si to suffer!"

"In the end, there was so much trouble that a weapon was used."

"Father, I am willing to accept the punishment. It is the child who is ignorant and frightened Ah Si!"

Shi Jisun admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.

Because he knew that, in front of his father, how could the big and small matters in Palembang be hidden from his eyes and ears.

Whenever you make twists and turns and make excuses for yourself, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

not to mention……

Hehehe, compared to "this little thing", the real big problem is Second Sister Shi.

really.

After he finished speaking, Second Sister Shi's face changed suddenly.

Where did Shi Jisun put her when she held up the confession letter?Next, when it comes to the faults of her husband and wife, how can father be lenient?

Unfortunately, she had nothing to say about it.

The nature of the two matters is different. I had a big fight with Song Feiyin, and it is true that I said the letter of divorce.

I thought there would be a great fortune...

But who knows, in the end it was just an understatement: I made a mistake! !
Second Sister Shi looked at her husband beside her, with puzzled and unbelievable eyes.

It has been two days since the incident happened, no matter how she asks the question, the answer she got has not changed.

She didn't understand why.

It can't always be...

Really admit it! !
In the hall, Shi Jinqing took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and compared the incident in his heart, and came to a judgment.

He first attacked Shi Jisun: "You also know that you have wronged your sister, do you have the manners of a brother?!"

"If you can't even protect your younger sister, how will you protect the tens of thousands of people in Palembang in the future?!"

"Come here, punish with family law, fifty lashes!"

The scene was suddenly dead silent.

This is different from watching a play in Wanghai Pavilion.

Shi Jinqing is the emperor of Palembang, and the king of Sanfoqi is not a folklore, but recognized by Nanyang.

No one dares to violate the majesty of the emperor.

Only Mrs. Shi stepped forward and wailed: "Master, no! Fifty lashes will kill people!!"

"Shut up!" Shi Jinqing scolded angrily, but then looked at his daughter and son-in-law: "I heard that Song Qi was also punished with fifty lashes..."

"He fainted on the spot, and he is still recuperating on the bed to this day."

"Why, my son, is he not as good as others?"

sizzle.

sizzle.

Countless people gasped.

The second son of the Song family was fined?I haven't heard of it!
But since it's what the consolation envoy said, it's definitely not bad.

And the most shocking ones were Second Sister Shi and Song Feiyin.

Song Qi's punishment was an internal matter of the Song family, and several people were in Song Cheng's courtyard because of the "guest" that day...

Even if the news that Song Qi was seriously injured and recuperating would be spread.

But why is the number of whips so clear?
The Song family has been completely infiltrated?
And this is what Shi Jinqing wants to beat Song Feiyin.

The husband and wife looked at each other in fear, and they both recalled in their minds whether they had said any disrespectful words that day! !
Soon, the law-enforcing elders of the family arrived and carried out the execution with the outside of the hall.

pop, pop...

There was a loud bang, accompanied by Shi Jisun's painful wailing.

After a long time, the law enforcement elder walked in: "Patriarch, the execution of the family law is complete."

"I'll take the third son to get the medicine now!"

Punishment is punishment, it is impossible to really beat people to death, and they must be treated as soon as possible.

However, Shi Jinqing yelled: "Administer the medicine? What kind of medicine to give! Let him get out! This matter has not been discussed yet, how can he leave the scene as the party involved!"

At this moment, Mrs. Shi was really shocked.

The two of her mother and son originally planned to roast Second Sister Shi on the fire with a plan of bitterness.

But now the family law has been established, but no treatment is allowed...

"My lord! This is your own flesh and blood. If you don't get treatment, you will die."

"Human life?" Shi Jinqing stood up abruptly, and tore open his skirt, revealing his chest.

Everyone saw that there were many scars on it, and they couldn't find one that was intact.

Then I heard Shi Jinqing say: "Back then, I followed the king of Liang and led a group of Chinese township parties from birth to death, and only then did the prosperity of Sanfo Qi Palembang today!"

"A mere family law, can you still let him die?"

"If he is really dead, it is his destiny, and he is destined not to achieve great things!"

"Let him roll in by himself!"

The anger reverberated in the hall, and everyone held their breaths, not daring to meet that gaze.

He heard heavy footsteps coming.

Shi Jisun was pale, and staggered into the room. Mrs. Shi was in tears, and wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Shi Jinqing's gaze.

Seeing that Shi Jisun came to the front of the hall, he was exhausted, fell to the ground with a thud, and said dying: "Father, I forgive my son for being rude, I can only pay my respects here."

Shi Jinqing stopped looking at him, followed closely behind, and looked at the other two——

"Yao'er, I also heard that your husband and wife are at odds, and you announced your divorce letter in public?"

thump.

Second Sister Shi knelt down abruptly, her voice clouded with tears: "Father, it's because my daughter is confused, that's why she was talking nonsense..."

"Nonsense? You can talk nonsense about this kind of thing? You are not young, and you have been in charge of the family affairs for nearly ten years, but I didn't expect you to disappoint me!!"

Don't wait for Second Sister Shi to say more.

He looked at Song Feiyin again: "Feiyin, I know that you were wronged when you joined my Shi family... You replaced me and went to the north to receive the title, so you will remember all the credit for your father..."

"If you really feel that you and Yao'er are destined to end, then I will say nothing, let you go free, and tell the whole city that this matter is my Shi family's fault. If anyone dares to discuss whether you are right or wrong, I will never forgive you. !"

"In addition, I will give you three more squares and half of the seaport revenue, as an apology, what do you think?!"

Song Feiyin sighed, and knelt down with Second Sister Shi: "Father, even if you drive me out of Shi's house, I will not leave!"

"I was born as a member of the Shi family and died as a ghost of the Shi family."

"As for what happened that day, I admit that I was at fault and it has nothing to do with Yao'er. I only ask my father to forgive Yao'er."

When Shi Jinqing heard this, he first nodded in satisfaction: "No one in Palembang knows what you have done to the Shi family?"

Then, he changed the subject: "But since you said it wasn't Yao'er's fault, then it's your fault?"

"I heard rumors from the outside world that there was a woman in Wanghai Pavilion that day, who came down to earth like a fairy and enchanted you, so that Yao'er beat you up... and now your face is full of scars!"

Song Feiyin shook his head: "My son-in-law dare not admit it!"

"The benefactor saved Ah Si that day, how could I let them be embarrassed by the Shi family again, because my father-in-law always taught us that the Shi family is based on benevolence, how can we repay kindness with revenge?"

"Hehehe." Shi Jinqing smiled.

It was this smile that surprised Mrs. Shi, she knew her husband too well, and knew that this was going to be the point.

"Is it just that? Why is it different from what I heard?"

"Come here, pass on physical evidence, personal evidence!"

All the people in the hall turned their heads and saw that the sergeant had brought people and material evidence, and hurriedly backed away to open the way.

The person who came was Ah Hui, the soldier, and the box of treasures.

When the lid of the box was lifted, it was full of luxury, which shocked the audience.

"Explain what happened!"

Bingtou Ah Hui hastily knelt down and said, "I met that group of four people in Outer Garrison Town;"

"His surname is Zhou. I don't know his origin, but according to what he said, he may be from overseas, and he may even have been to Dashi."

"He begged me to get in touch with Mr. Liang, so as to ask Mr. Xuanwei Envoy, or to facilitate some business..."

"After arriving at Palembang City, I took out this box of treasures!"

"I didn't dare to keep it private, so I hurriedly reported it to Mr. Liang, but before I could explain what happened, the Wanghai Pavilion incident happened."

At this point, everyone knew the situation.

Song Feiyin beat the second sister Shi, and made a farce of divorce letter, all because of this person.

As for why he did this...

A box of treasures in front of him can explain the problem.

Such a big-spending businessman must be a rich overseas businessman, and Song Feiyin may have seen this person before, so he wanted to win him over for his own use.

It's just that whether this "self-use" is his Song family or the Shi family needs a conclusion.

"Feiyin, what about the distinguished guest?"

"Since he wants to see me, I am here now!"

Song Feiyin raised his head and sighed, and said righteously: "Father, this matter is not what you saw. I really don't know the origin of this treasure box..."

"And that distinguished guest is just an ordinary sea merchant, nothing special!"

"On the night of the incident, I sent them away!"

The words fall.

He closed his eyes and remained silent.

Only in that heart, recalling the miracle that night appeared——

"I am the only one in the world..."

"balanced……"

"If you want to follow my way, you need to step through the realm of life and death, and go through the baptism of suffering."

The rules are actually very simple.

Only four words——

Cover up the sky! ! !
