Chapter 208 In the wind and rain
Chapter 208 In the Storm...
Even though he knew that he would die, he would still affect his relatives and friends. Chen Lian still acted generously, which is simply incredible, stupid and reckless in many people's eyes. However, for the scholar-officials who sincerely believe in Confucianism and take the morality of the world as their responsibility, this is completely understandable. There is also a special name called "Do it even though he knows it is impossible."
Lu Bing really wanted to save him, but he could not resist Ge Lao Yan's power, not to mention that the emperor was still angry. He could only do his best to help him as much as possible.
So Chen Lian did not go to the dark prison, but instead went to a cross-yard outside the prison and spent a few days quietly.
Lu Bing took gold and silver to find Yan Shifan again, asking him to let Shenlian have a way of life. Yan Shifan agreed, but turned around and instructed Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Justice, to sentence Shenlian to eighty-year-old staff to the point of being eighty, and then talk.
Lu Bing found Yan Shifan angrily, but Yan Shifan said indifferently: "As long as he no longer slanders, he will naturally let him go." But that was impossible, so Yan Shifan would never let Chen Lian go.
Although Lu Bing's IQ is far from comparable to Yan Shifan, he can also vaguely realize that this is because he did not kill Zhang Jing, which makes the one-eyed dragon unhappy and is showing it to himself.
Lu Bing's lungs were irritated, but he had no choice but to see someone coming from the Ministry of Justice and lifted Chen Lian away from the prison of Zhao. He could only find He Ao, the Minister of Justice and asked him to beat the stick lighter.
He Ao agreed, but in fact he didn't need to give in. The yamen runners who executed the execution did not dare to "strike with their hearts". In addition to being afraid of the leader of the Jinyiwei, they also knew who was right and who was wrong, who was loyal and who was traitorous.
But Wang Xueyi, the assistant minister of the headquarters, was watching, and the yamen runners were not too fussy. Although they did not hurt their muscles, they also made their skin and flesh and blood blurred.
After the execution, Lu Bing came to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to see him. While applying medicine to him, he sighed: "Why do you have to? Why bother?"
Chen Lian said seriously, "Sir, don't think of a way to save me anymore. It won't be my wish if I cause trouble for you."
Lu Bing looked at Chen Lian blankly, wondering what this stubborn scholar was thinking.
Just when Shen Lian was punished by a stick, Shaoxing City, thousands of miles away, finally got the news...
After a brief and huge shock, people's reactions were different.
Mr. Shen stayed in the study for a while, and then went out with two confidant housekeepers. After he left, the Shen family kept his door and thanked the guests, no longer making any noise, as if he was quietly waiting for the disaster to come.
Tang Shunzhi knew earlier than Master Shen. He was the one who knew Chen Lian's determination the most. He knew that Chen Lian knew that he had no hope of victory, but did not listen to his advice and still bet on everything for him.
As his memorial said, since Song and his style of deteriorating scholars all took flattery as their ability to do, and were upright and unjust as their way of introduction. Therefore, Yan Dang became increasingly bigger and integrity was buried in his heart. He wanted to use his life to express his anger and use his death to awaken the justice in people's hearts, just like the sword-casting master in the Spring and Autumn Period, he used his life to forge the sword that killed evil!
"Brother Qingxia, Jingchuan is not as good as you..." He solemnly bowed to the north for three times, and then he got up and prepared his official uniform and ordered people to prepare a boat to go to Hangzhou.
In the Shanyin County government office, separated by a wall, Mrs. Lu was checking the return gifts prepared for engagement. She took a list and slowly recited: "Eight kilograms of tea, two pairs of fruits, lotus root, taro, pomegranate, each; a pair of He Wei towels, trousers, belts, silver bags and shoes..." As she recited here, a close maid counted the words, and when she finished ordering a long gift, the maid respectfully said: "Madam, you have already ordered it."
Mrs. Lu pondered for a while and said, "The child is a Hanlin person, and he is also an official. He should return another four treasures in the study, and he also has to add a jade belt. Rhino horns and gold turtles. "The maid chuckled and said, "My wife is really considering it."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "This is in line with my wishes, otherwise I wouldn't care about this."
The maid covered her mouth and smiled and said, "The future son-in-law is really lucky. If you have never passed by, your wife will be in love with you."
"Little Tiezi is talking nonsense." Mrs. Lu laughed and scolded, but couldn't help but say happily: "Your master will never do serious things in this life, but I am very satisfied with the marriage I found for Wan'er... The door is also equivalent, and the talented and beautiful, and he is really a 'talented and beautiful woman, a pair of good friends'."
The little maid over there nodded and said, "Yes, yes, even the lady is satisfied." In her opinion, it can make the talented lady convinced, and it can be more of a Hanlin master than a Jinshi.
While the master and servant were talking, they saw the door being pushed open. County Magistrate Lu, who had a gloomy face, came in and said, "Madam, I have something to tell you." The little maid quickly took a tactful retreat.
County Magistrate Lu closed the door with his backhand, and sat on the chair and sulked. While packing the gifts that were spread out on the shop, Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "If you have something to do, please tell me, I haven't prepared the gifts that I have for my son-in-law."
"No need to prepare." After holding it in for a long time, County Magistrate Lu finally said with a silence: "This marriage is no longer in the process."
Mrs. Lu said in surprise: "Master, let's joke, how can such a thing be a joke?"
"Oh, my wife doesn't know anything." The magistrate of Lu sighed and said, "Today, I wrote a letter from the capital, saying that the Jinyiwei experienced the Situation of Shen Lian, and wrote a letter to impeach Yan Prime Minister. At this moment, he was sentenced to the imperial prison and was waiting for the judgment." As he said that, he rubbed his forehead hard and said, "This Shen Qingxia was crazy all day long when she was in her hometown. She didn't know how to restrain herself when she arrived in the capital. She really harmed others and herself, and she was very harmful to others."
Mrs. Lu didn't understand very well, "What does this have to do with my son-in-law?"
"He is Shen Mo's teacher, do you think it's okay?" County Magistrate Lu said in a frustration: "I originally thought that Shen Zhuo's words had been done and he would be able to win a young Jinshi soon. Now, let Shen Lian make trouble, such as Jinshi and Hanlin, all dream in daylight! It would be nice not to let others catch them!" As he said, he lowered his voice, "It's better not to seek a good marriage, so as not to miss his daughter's lifelong entrustment."
Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Not to mention the master, this is all speculation. Even if he really has no hope of career from now on, just for our two families, will your daughter be less used in this life?"
"Madam is confused," County Magistrate Lu shook his head and said, "Not even if I find a little father to respect him. Just tell me who is in power in Zhejiang now? Yan Xiangye's Qier Zhao Wenhua and his confidant and minion Hu Zongxian, but with these two people in one day, Shen Mo would have to live with his head every day, and he would be sent to death at any time!" As he said, he glared and said, "Do you still want a daughter then?"
Mrs. Lu was indeed frightened. She put down the things in her hand, looking embarrassed: "What you said is also reasonable, but how can you refuse the marriage you promised?"
County Magistrate Lu whispered: "Now there is only a messenger who has to quietly tell this matter. He has a decent family of officials, and he can't say "no". Everyone beat him up and let the matter end in failure without any damage to his face." He sneered and said, "Otherwise, I'll give him some color."
Mrs. Lu whispered: "My Wan'er is a bit weird, I'm afraid she won't."
County Magistrate Lu waved his hand and said, "I can't help but follow my father at home. You just need to persuade him slowly."
After taking the husband's life, Mrs. Lu had to walk to her daughter's embroidery building. In a few years, Lu Wan'er had already become a beautiful and elegant beauty, like a daffodil. What impressed people the most was her pair of kind eyes as black gemstones, bright and lively, full of smiles, like a happy and naughty elf, which made people love it from the heart.
When Mrs. Lu came up, Lu Wan'er was secretly trying on her wedding dress. No matter how she looked, she felt beautiful. Her mouth was slightly raised, and even the faint beauty mole on the corner of her mouth seemed to be laughing.
When she heard the footsteps going upstairs, she hurriedly took it off and stuffed it into the cupboard. When she turned around, she saw that her mother was already standing at the door. She was ashamed that she threw herself into the forest like a swallow, and she rushed into Mrs. Lu's arms and acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Lu sighed in her heart. Although she couldn't bear it, she still told her daughter that she knew about it.
After hearing this, Lu Wan'er said bitterly: "How can Dad be so snobbish? How can he have so much money, power and power in marriage?"
Mrs. Lu said in his heart, 'It turns out that way', and advised: "Your father is also thinking about your future happiness. If the child is implicated by his master, won't you be unlucky?"
Lu Wan'er clenched her fists tightly and said, "Who made the child stand up?" But she argued with Shen Mo.
Mrs. Lu knew that she could not convince her daughter, so she directly told her: "Now your father is going to the Shen family and said, if they are willing to retire, my son will give up."
Lu Wan'er said without saying: "Now everyone in the city knows that the child is going to marry into the Shen family. Even if he quit the marriage, people say that I, Lu Wan'er, seek profit and avoid harm, and let my daughter do what I do?"
Mrs. Lu let her daughter say nothing, so she had to imitate her father and said, "Marriage is a big deal, parents' orders, you should be obedient in this matter... Parents will definitely not harm you."
