Chapter 445: alibi
Wujin Shen's family is not as magnificent as the Shao family in Danyang. ◇↓ San◇↓ Jiang◇↓ Novel.¥f Chen Yingkui's parents passed away shortly after he got married, and there were no uncles and brothers. In the third yard, the innermost one was Chen Yingkui's wife Shao and a son and a daughter lived in. The second yard was Chen Yingkui's study, and the wing rooms on both sides contained various weapons he had accumulated over the years. The large courtyard in the middle was a martial arts venue. The main hall at the front was the place to see guests, and the corridors on both sides and the upside down room on both sides of the gate were for male servants to live in.
In the whole family, there is only one gatekeeper in the outer courtyard, and he is responsible for cleaning the front yard, a chef and a book boy, two girls in the inner courtyard and a wet nurse, which is very saving among wealthy families in the Jiangnan area.
The population is simple, and Chen Yingkui feels comfortable. After he invited Wang Fulin to his study and sat down, he was about to make tea himself, but he didn't expect that Wang Fulin did not sit down, but directly reached out and pressed his hand on the teapot. He raised his head a little strangely, and saw Wang Fulin hesitating for a moment, and finally asked, "Have you ever contacted your father-in-law since Brother Chen left Danyang?"
Chen Yingkuina's face suddenly changed slightly. Although he left Danyang with anger and had not met Shao Fang or communicated with him for more than a month, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law was reduced to the freezing point, and he only hid it from his wife Shao. To be fair, he had not reflected on himself. At least, he felt that as a son-in-law who had received a lot of help from his father-in-law, he should not just leave after revealing the facts, but should persuade others to come back with great effort. At this moment, he put down his hand holding the tea leaves and said bitterly: "Brother Wang, I won't hide it from you. I want to go to Danyang recently. I will persuade my father-in-law to come back."
"I just came from Danyang." Wang Fulin saw Chen Yingkui widened his eyes and looked at him. He simply said bluntly, "Governor Yingtian Zhang Jiayin came to Zhenjiang Prefecture to govern Dantu County and ordered your father-in-law to be taken."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yingkui couldn't believe his ears. He subconsciously raised his voice: "What did you say?"
"Short long after you left, Mr. Lu and I went to Yangzhou. Recently, the Yellow River water poured back into the canal. The canal overflowed, and the land of Huaiyang became a water town. Mr. Lu and I were entrusted to go to Zhenjiang Prefecture to buy a batch of grain for emergency treatment. I heard that Governor Zhang was in Zhenjiang Prefecture and asked for help, hoping that he could help. As a result, I happened to learn that your father-in-law Shao Fang was escorted from Danyang. Because Governor Zhang hinted that the Shao family had ten thousand stones of grain, I went to prison to see him. I planned to buy him 10,000 stones of grain from him for 5,000 taels of silver, and hand it over to you at that time. Even if the property of the Shao family was confiscated, it would be enough for you to raise your wife's brother-in-law Shao Yi..."
"Stop, you wait a moment. Wait a moment!"
Chen Yingkui had to stop Wang Fulin and knead his temples hard with his thumb and little finger. However, the man fell on the chair. Suddenly, the shock of hearing the news was overwhelmed by the inside story Wang Fulin explained in detail. Although he did not like the officialdom, he was not a fool, otherwise he would not have got Shao Fang's eyes and his wife was a daughter. He had realized that his father-in-law's great disaster was because of Gao Gong's resignation, but at the root, if it were not for Lei Jigu's sea arrest document in Huguang and his father-in-law's cause such a big incident in Huizhou, I'm afraid the next revenge might have been very cruel and would not have come so quickly.
In this sense, the father-in-law will end up being imprisoned, which is undoubtedly inseparable from Wang Fulin. However, can he blame Wang Fulin for this?
He hugged his head tightly, but at this moment, Wang Fulin left behind another news that caught him off guard than he had just now.
"When I set out from Danyang in the morning, a soldier guarding the Shao family came to report that Dantu came to send a letter to Dantu, and asked someone to escort the two companions who Shao Fang had never left to Dantu, and executed with Shao Fang at noon today."
When is this now?
Lu Guangwu almost jumped up from the chair, rushed to the door like crazy, and opened it, but he saw the sky that was completely dark. His pupils suddenly contracted, and then he staggered back a few steps. Even with his stable martial arts practice since childhood, he could not control his body at this moment and was almost collapsed on the ground. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
It's too late... it's too late no matter what! Even if he really has the courage to be inappropriate, it's impossible to save what has happened, not to mention that he doesn't have the courage to go to the Dharma field yet!
He didn't even know how Wang Fulin pulled him up and how he pressed him onto the chair to sit down. When he finally woke up, he stared at Wang Fulin hard and asked word by word: "You came to Wujin specifically to tell me this?"
"That's right, I'm here to tell you the excuse of how to settle the 10,000 stone of grain payment. I'm really here to tell you this. Don't glar at me. Shao Fang is more innocent when he dies in Huguang, and the two servants are the same. As for attracting a group of thieves to Huizhou, it would be a great crime if it weren't for luck. As for how he incited robbers to kill people to silence the traitors, if it weren't for the dissonance of things, I wouldn't want to say it again." Seeing that Shen Yingkui's face turned blue and white, and he wanted to get angry but was a little indescribable, Wang Fulin suddenly changed his mind, "But your wife's brother, but the three-year-old Shao Yi, is innocent."
Shen Yingkui suddenly shuddered, and his slightly dull eyes suddenly became sharp. He realized what Wang Fulin meant in an instant, and immediately rushed out without saying a word, but Wang Fulin grabbed him as soon as he arrived at the door. He immediately turned around and shouted in anger: "Don't tell me, it's clear that someone was trying to assassinate Shao Yi to stop me from saving people!"
"How to save it? The city gate has been closed. Wu Zhi has more than a hundred miles to Danyang. It will take at least one day and a night to go back and forth!"
"I just climb out of the city wall! I raised a good horse in the farm outside the city, and it would be no problem to go back and forth in Danyang overnight!"
Seeing that Shen Yingkui was about to break free from himself when he said this, Wang Fulin had a last question: "Okay, what if someone asked about it later, what about your absent proof?"
The five words of absenteeism were vague and Shen Yingkui immediately asked, "What does it mean?"
"Simply put, it is someone else's investigation afterwards. What do you use to prove that you are in Wujin tonight? I can certainly give you a personal certificate. After all, Shao Fang and I once had a grudge, but what if others still don't believe it?"
After Wang Fulin explained, Shen Yingkuina's furious impulse suddenly turned into endless calm. He also had his wife and children, and even if he wanted to keep the blood of his father-in-law's son, he could not ignore them. He quickly thought for a while, and finally looked at Wang Fulin and said, "Brother Wang, you have a grudge with your father-in-law, but you can still inform me. This friendship is my friend. I, Shen Yingkui, will not tell lies in front of the real person, and I will go to the government office to drink with you. Can you walk with me and stay in the government office for one night after you get drunk?"
Seeing that Chen Yingkui understood what he meant, Wang Fulin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed readily. He was not such a hurry to be righteous, but the rise and fall of the Shao family really touched his most sensitive nerve, and Chen Yingkui's temperament was really good at his spleen and stomach. Even Lu Guangwu praised him. He was moved for a moment and became a good person. As for the three-year-old child, if history remained unchanged, when he grew up, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, they all died, and with Chen Yingkui, he was not worried about the possibility of that boy taking revenge on his head.
As the rumors were heard, Su Tuan Su and Shen Yingkui had a very good relationship. Chen Yingkui, who was holding a jar of wine in one hand, did not report it at all, and brought Wang Fulin into the house. After meeting and greeting each other, he introduced Wang Fulin's identity. Seeing that Su Tuan Su changed his favor immediately. After he introduced the person, he directly asked the servant to bring a big bowl, then opened the mud seal and filled it with him, and then drank it all.
Seeing this scene, Su Tui Guan was puzzled. Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't persuade him, he took the initiative to pour a bowl of Chen Yingkui, and he was even more confused. Seeing that this family student who had always admired him drank seven or eight bowls of wine in one breath, his blushing face seemed drunk. He finally couldn't help but pull Wang Fulin and asked, "Mr. Wang, what's going on with Xiao Shen?"
"This is a long story." Taking advantage of the slowdown in Chen Yingkui's drinking speed, Wang Fulin whispered and explained Shao Fang's story as quickly as possible. Seeing that Su Tutor Su showed such a regretful expression, he continued, "It's said that Shao Fang and I have a big holiday, but we admire Brother Chen's character very much. So when he heard the news, he volunteered to accompany him. Now things have happened, and it's useless for us to help outsiders. Why don't you drink more with Brother Chen and ask Mr. Su to help."
Su Tuizheng had some understanding of the court. Although Wang Fulin did not explain the holiday with Shao Fang in detail, he could only listen to Chen Yingkui's introduction to Wang Fulin's origin, so he could guess a few points. Therefore, at this moment, he thought he understood everything. Out of his usual appreciation for Chen Yingkui, and Chen Yingkui was just a student of the family and had always revealed signs of no intention of career. He followed the flow and said: "Isn't it just drinking to relieve his sorrow? Well, for two of us old friends, Xiao Shen thought he could have drunk enough to stop. He was just a father-in-law, not a father, so he would be fine when he woke up tomorrow morning!"
But when he really started drinking, Su Tui official realized that he was facing two buffaloes! It would be fine if Chen Yingkui drank like water, but Wang Fulin was the same, and he was still sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman when he was drunk and fell into trouble. His last bit of consciousness only remembered that when he was drunk, he finally saw Chen Yingkui lying on the table, obviously he couldn't hold on at all.
It was not until this time that Wang Fulin, who was drinking and tricking his chest, felt relieved. He pretended to be drunk and quickly called the servants of the Su family outside to come in. While asking them to settle down, they let them see that he helped Chen Yingkui, who was drunk, and could not move after walking two steps. Finally, he had to borrow a guest room of the government office, saying that he would go back tomorrow morning. When everything was settled and closed the door, he immediately blew out the light. When he turned his head, he saw that Chen Yingkui, who was lying on the bed, had already gotten out of bed.
"If I can't come back early in the morning, Brother Wang, you say that you will know nothing after going to bed at night, and just push everything to me!" Chen Yingkui said as he quickly took out his leg from his arms and tied it on his calf, then stood up and said, "At that time, please take care of my wife and children at home."
