Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2771 Have to pay?

Faced with the sudden assassination case, the whole Jiangnan was in chaos.

Although Fang Jun was safe and sound after the assassination, and unexpectedly did not take direct revenge, he just hit everyone hard through Wei Wang Li Tai, it seems that the loss he suffered was enough to bear.

But everyone still dare not be negligent, who knows whether this situation is achieved by Wei Wang Li Tai overpowering Fang Jun?If it wasn't for Fang Jun's sincere retaliation without saying a word, and just relying on King Wei to suppress him, he might lose control at some point.

Fang Jun's stick temper is no better than that of the Jiangnan gentry. He has always been unreasonable and acted as he pleases. The whole Jiangnan was tortured by him.

Once a little seemingly inconspicuous matter stirs up this guy's anger again at a certain moment, Wei Wang Li Tai is afraid that he will never be able to suppress it.

With tens of thousands of navy soldiers in hand, Fang Jun can do whatever he wants in Jiangnan.

No one can bear the consequences of Fang Jun losing control of his anger...

Xiao Jing sat at the head, and all the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River respected him and lined up on the left and right.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, Xiao Jing put down the teacup in his hand, tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, waited until the sound quieted down, then looked at Shen Lun on the side and said: "This matter, the Shen family will give everyone A confession."

In a word, it not only defines the nature of the matter, but also distinguishes the primary from the secondary.

If it weren't for your Shen family's daring to assassinate Fang Jun, why would the current situation be so passive?Everyone's wealth and life are hanging by a thread, and they will be overthrown at every turn. Naturally, the main responsibility must be borne by the Shen family.

Shen Lun's complexion was pale, and he was still calm. He knelt down on the seat, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and said with his head down: "It's unfortunate for the family, and you have been implicated. The entire Shen family feels very guilty. It's just that the matter has come to an end, and the Shen family is willing to take responsibility." , but we still need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties. If I am not shirking responsibility, if it is just the Shen family, it will not be able to bear this responsibility at all."

Although he knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for Shen Wei to seek death and assassinate Fang Jun by himself, not only was there someone in charge behind the scenes, there must also be some people here who secretly planned and coordinated with him, and now it is unfair to shirk all responsibility to the Shen family after the incident , but there is no other way.

This matter is too big, and the consequences are too serious. If the Jiangnan gentry withdraw Wu Xingshen's family to bear Fang Jun's anger with one voice in order to protect themselves, then Wu Xingshen's family will be wiped out.

Only when everyone unites together can there be room for resistance.

The law does not blame the public...

Therefore, he had to suppress his anger in his heart and pretend that he would not bite other people. This way, those people would be wary and consciously help the Shen family.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "Speaking of which, this matter is only Shen Wei's idea, and the entire Shen family has suffered an indiscriminate disaster. Although we Jiangnan gentry usually have estrangement and friction, but at that time At a critical juncture, we should still unite, is it possible to watch Wu Xingshen follow the footsteps of the Gu family and Yuan family, the whole family suffers, and the family temple disappears?"

Someone echoed: "This statement is reasonable, otherwise, if the Shen family is in trouble today, we will just sit on the sidelines and ignore it, and if we have such encounters in the future, who else is willing to help?"

Everyone chattered and echoed.

Shen Lun secretly let out a sigh, thankful that his countermeasures were right...

Xiao Jing sat in the first place, frowning, his eyes flicked across the face of the master in front of him, and after a long time, he nodded slowly: "Since everyone agrees to help each other, let's draw up a strategy based on this, discuss it and see what happens. How can we fully understand what happened this time.”

An old man beside him said, "Easier said than done? Although the King of Wei has given everyone a chance to breathe in order to make money, Fang Jun is the most arrogant. If one day he doesn't even sell King Wei's face, he insists on taking What can we do if we settle accounts with us?"

Everyone was silent, and their faces were heavy.

That's what they're most worried about...

The winter rain was pattering outside the window, but everyone in the hall was anxious.

At this moment, someone entered the courtyard in a hurry. After being stopped by the servant in front of the door, he said something quickly, and then he was let go. He walked quickly to the entrance of the main hall with an umbrella, took off his shoes and entered.

Everyone saw that it was the Xiao family's son who was working in the Suzhou government office. Seeing his anxious expression, they thought that there must be some bad news from the government office, and they raised their hearts one after another.

The children of the Xiao family quickly came to Xiao Jing, first bowed to salute, and then said loudly: "Patriarch, just after the meeting between the Governor of Suzhou and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, he returned to the government office to interrogate Shen Wei, and asked about the assassination in detail. Who are the masterminds and co-suspects behind the case, Shen Wei has already been tortured and interrogated by the Navy, and before the torture is executed in the lobby of the Suzhou government office, they have confessed one by one and signed their signatures."

Everyone's hearts were almost in their throats, some couldn't hold their breath, and asked in panic: "Is my family in?"

Someone also said: "Who is there specifically?"

Some people also expressed disdain for their panic: "Huh, my family can sit upright and sit upright. I don't believe that the governor of Suzhou would dare to beat him up and frame him arbitrarily?"

The crowd was yelling in disorder, Xiao Jing felt the pain in his head, raised his hand and waved it, then suppressed the voices of the crowd, and then asked: "Have you ever seen the transcript of the confession, who did you confess to?" ?”

Xiao's disciples said: "Mu Inspector did not hide from others, I was in the lobby at that time, and I saw the statement with my own eyes."

Speaking of this, he glanced around at the people who were anxious just now, and said in a deep voice: "Every family and surname are among them."

With a "boom", the hall was filled with eruption.

Everyone was shocked and angry, cursing and venting their dissatisfaction.Naturally, some of them colluded with Shen Wei, their faces were pale and trembling at the moment, but even those innocent people were frightened and terrified while cursing.

Once this confession transcript is sent to Chang'an, who knows how His Majesty Li Er will react when his beloved courtier and son-in-law are assassinated?
Although this His Majesty has worked hard and diligently in government affairs, and has always been fair in dealing with things after he ascended the throne, he is also a man of temperament. If he is confused by emotions and makes impulsive actions, it is entirely possible.

If this is the case, then the entire Jiangnan will have to face a catastrophe, and no one can survive alone...

Then someone asked beside Xiao Jing: "The Xiao family is the leader of the south of the Yangtze River, and Song Guogong is a pillar of the court and an important minister of the country. This time, Mu Yuanzuo and His Royal Highness the King of Wei are going against the grain and wantonly framing the Xiao family. Get out!"

Xiao Jing sneered, drooping her eyelids without taking a single glance, and said calmly: "What you said, how do you prove that Mu Yuanzuo and Wei Wang are wanton framers?"

The man took it for granted: "I don't rule out that there are indeed some people here who had a close relationship with Shen Wei, and even collaborated in committing crimes, but most of them are absolutely innocent. How can they attribute all the Jiangnan gentry as accomplices?"

Xiao Jing cursed stupidly, and said slowly: "Whether it is a different crime or not, you will only know after an interrogation. Since your Excellency thinks that you have been wronged, you can go to the Suzhou government office now and ask Mu Yuanzuo or Wei If Mu Yuanzuo doesn't believe you when Wang tells you about his innocence, you can ask him to examine it for you, so why sit here and make a fuss?"

The man blushed and dared not speak any more.

Go to the Suzhou government office by yourself to cooperate with the review?
Only a fool can do that!In the final analysis, the reason why everyone is so afraid of the confession transcript is not because they have seriously participated in the case, but once the confession transcript is magnified infinitely, someone uses it to make a big fuss, and censors it door to door, and it is bound to be found out. something else.

The Jiangnan gentry has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River. They have plundered for several generations, or even dozens of generations. They have accumulated a huge family business foundation just now. Who can guarantee that their family is innocent and has never committed any crimes?
If you don't check, everyone is from the Zanying family. If you check, you will find countless scandals, local tyrants and evil gentry...

The noise in the lobby gradually subsided, and everyone realized that such noise was useless, so they all looked at Xiao Jing and the elders beside him, hoping that they would come up with an idea.

Xiao Jing looked around for a week, sighed, and said: "The only plan right now is to find out what His Royal Highness King Wei and the Governor of Suzhou really intend to do, and really want to report this matter to His Majesty, or just want to Take this confession transcript in your hand to intimidate everyone?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately started clamoring again, each filled with righteous indignation.

Everyone has already cut their flesh, bled them, and paid a huge amount of money and food, but His Royal Highness King Wei is still not satisfied?
It's too dark!
