Fengqi Jingshi

The patriarch thought, no matter what, he had to be pre-emptive and find out who was wrong with him, so that he could tell him not to divide the clan.

Unexpectedly, he touched his Ni Lin, seeing Shen Junzhuo's whole body turned cold, the patriarch's words that he wanted to reprimand him got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak out with his mouth open.

Shen Junzhuo was still holding the soft cloth that had just been wiped in various places in his hand. At this moment, he threw the soft cloth on the ground, chose a chair to sit down, and said coldly:

"The patriarch's words are wrong. The country has the national laws, and the family has the family rules. The national laws come first, and then the family rules can be discussed. If you only want to protect the clansmen, you ignore the national laws. It is also feasible for the patriarch to gather people to plot rebellion."

Many people had already gathered inside and outside the ancestral hall, and all of them were standing. Some of them who had been dissatisfied with the patriarch earlier began to whisper and accuse the patriarch of wrongdoing in a low voice.

Standing in the center of the earth, the patriarch suddenly became embarrassed, his old face turned red all of a sudden.When it comes to family affairs, he always sits in the middle while the others stand, but now the situation has changed, and he was robbed by others.

During the holidays, relying on his status as the patriarch, he never took the initiative to go to the door of the Duke's mansion. He heard the descendants talk about Shen Junzhuo after returning home, and he was afraid and respectful, but he didn't even dare to speak. talk to him.

He also scolded them, what kind of prospects did they look like? Can it scare people like this?

Now that he saw his aura and listened to what he said, not to mention the cold sweat on his back, but he couldn't stand anymore.Fortunately, he was supported by someone, and he didn't show any misery after all, but he was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to answer his words, pointing at Shen Junzhuo and said:

"I, I... I don't mean that! You have handed over the Jiang family like this, but have you ever thought about the fate of the Duke's Mansion? If how many years of titles are taken away, how can you be worthy of your ancestors in the sky? How can you be worthy of the old man? Grandpa? It’s a good thing that the old Grandpa held you in his hands like a treasure, so it’s better for you to come and destroy his foundation!”

Shen Junzhuo smiled coldly, took the towel handed over by Xu Dachang who was standing beside him, wiped his hands, and threw it back to Xu Dachang before saying:
"The Shen family's foundation has always been earned by defending the family and the country on the battlefield. It has never gained merit by harming others by despicable means! As for whether it can be worthy of the ancestors, I am afraid that it is blindly sheltering and forbearing such a harmful person. , I am afraid that is the real sorry for the ancestors!"

The patriarch's fingers trembled. He talked about you, you, you for a long time, but he couldn't say anything after that.He has always been respected by others, how could anyone directly refute him like this, his face was like a pig's liver, and his whole body began to shake, it was so embarrassing, I really couldn't stay any longer, it would be better to faint On the ground, it can also make him have the reputation of contradicting his elders!

Thinking, he was about to fall down, but who knew that another person came in at the door, he glanced at it, immediately recovered his energy, pointed at Shen Minghe and said:

"Why did you come here? Brother, you are so rebellious, what should you do as an elder brother?"

Shen Minghe was very polite to him, he didn't take advantage of his status as the prince of the country to neglect him, and earnestly performed a junior salute without even looking at Shen Junzhuo, and said:

"Since I'm here to divide the clan today, how can I have any brothers! From today, I don't have this younger brother."

The patriarch froze in place. It turned out that he agreed to divide the clan. Also, today, there must be a lot of quarrels among the brothers. When they quarreled, it was only in the clan that they wanted to divide the clan.

But Shen Minghe is still confused after all. Without Shen Junzhuo, the Shen family's reputation will drop a lot immediately. After Mrs. Jiang's incident, there is a high probability that the duke's title will be lost. Let Shen Junzhuo divide the clan and let the rest How do people live?
He took a step forward, pulled Shen Minghe, and said:

"Nephew, have you thought it through?"

Shen Minghe slightly tilted his head in the direction where Shen Junzhuo was sitting, but still did not look at him, nodded, and said:

"Abbe let him go."

The patriarch felt a rush of anger and blood, and he really shouldn't expect anything from this cowardly and incompetent nephew.No, Shen Junzhuo must not be separated so easily.Even if he looks down on such a Shen family, he is still a member of the Shen family, and his name is still on the Shen family's genealogy, which is still in his hands!
He couldn't care less about fainting, if he fainted, Shen Junzhuo would probably let Shen Junzhuo leave Shen's house smoothly today.He turned to Shen Junzhuo and said:
"If you still remember the old man's kindness to you, if you still remember the whole family's high expectations for you, you can't be so irresponsible to say that you can divide the clan! The genealogy is in my hands, there is no I agree, you don't want to split it!"

Shen Junzhuo's cold face cracked instantly, he snorted coldly, stood up, patted the dust-free robe, and said:

"I'm afraid the patriarch made a mistake. I'm not here to discuss with you today, not to get your consent, but to inform you. As for the genealogy, you can write it however you want. What does it have to do with me?"

After finishing speaking, he stepped out of the ancestral hall without looking back, and the two rows of imperial guards standing outside the ancestral hall followed him away with a clatter.

The patriarch was really going to be dizzy this time. He pointed at Shen Junzhuo's leaving back, shaking his fingers. After doing this for a long time, he rolled his eyes and fell down.

Fortunately, the person who supported him stretched out his hand in time and did not let him fall to the ground.Shen Minghe's face was gloomy, and he called someone to carry the patriarch out of the ancestral hall, and invited a doctor to treat his illness.

There was a lot of discussion in the ancestral hall for a while, but the most important people left, so they had no choice but to disperse.

The news about the Shen family reached the Prime Minister's ears, and Prime Minister Liu was lying down enjoying picking his ears.He closed his eyes, listened to the counselor tell the story, thought for a while, and asked:
"What do you think of Mr. Zhang?"

The counselor known as Mr. Zhang bowed his hands at him and said:
"General Shen is not a short-sighted person. According to my subordinates, he may have other plans for doing this."

The prime minister hummed lightly, motioning for him to continue.

Mr. Zhang said;
"Earlier, Uncle Xiaoguo met General Shen taking a girl out. Later, Uncle Xiaoguo found out that the girl was the second daughter of Li Cunren, governor of Yongzhou. It is not easy for the child to go out, this Miss Li is afraid. Later, Miss Li hired a bodyguard to go back to Yongzhou, but she met someone from Qingfengzhai and said that she died at the post station. But someone saw General Shen coming out. Liao Jing..."

Liu Chengxiang suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and let Caier's servant girl back down. He sat up straight, looked at the counselor, and asked:
"You mean, Shen Junzhuo made a move that day? Second Miss Li is not dead?"

Mr. Zhang nodded and continued:
"Not only that, there is no follow-up to what happened that day, no one came back from Qingfeng Village, and the two officials who brought the report also disappeared."

Prime Minister Liu stroked his short beard, pondered for a while, then smiled suddenly:

"I remember that Shen Guogong's eldest son married Li Cunren's eldest daughter? In this way, if Shen Junzhuo really fell in love with that little girl, he would be in the next generation, and he would not have to make a fuss about dividing the family."
