Chapter 2752 King Wei is full

Shen Lun blinked and was speechless.

Is the King of Wei too choked when he speaks?

I had no choice but to wipe away my tears and said respectfully: "Your Highness has misunderstood. It is not just that I have been wronged, but it is actually the arrogance and perversion of the law by a member of my clan who has committed a huge mistake..."

Li Tai pretended to be shocked: "So it was your Shen family who broke the law and caused others to be wronged?"

Shen Lun: "..."

"I am stupid. I really don't know why Mr. Shen comes to me crying and crying, as if he is about to die, since the Shen family has caused others to suffer injustice."

Shen Lun finally understood that His Majesty the King of Wei could stab someone to the core with a knife and his mouth, so he stopped talking nonsense. He immediately hit his head on the ground and cried out: "My descendants have made a big mistake and will never be forgiven." It’s a crime! It’s just that our Shen family has always been peaceful and protective of our hometown. One person’s crime should not bring disaster to the whole family. Please show mercy to our Shen family!”

Li Tai sneered and asked quietly: "May I ask Mr. Shen, why is your father's name taboo?"

Shen Lun was stunned and said: "My father's name is taboo, Fa Xing."

Li Tai snorted and said, "But Shen Faxing, who calls himself King of Liang and has his capital in Piling?"

Shen Lun's complexion changed slightly, he lowered his head and said, "Exactly."

Li Taiqi said: "Your Majesty's selfishness caused the Jiangdong soldiers to fall into trouble, and they all fell, without any repentance. With the sons of the Shen clan, they drove the people of Jiangdong and gathered tens of thousands of people to bring disaster to the world. If you talk and laugh freely, you will be killed The killings have caused endless complaints and notoriety. How can Mr. Shen actually say that the Shen family should stay in peace and protect their hometown? Is it because Mr. Shen is too shameless or is he ignorant and just listens to the rumors? "

Shen Lun's face turned red.

The eighteen rebels who rebelled against the king in the late Sui Dynasty were all famous, and they also had their place in the history books, and they could be regarded as heroes. However, for the people of Jiangnan, Shen Faxing gathered people and raised troops in the name of annihilating Yu Wenji, which cost Jiangnan countless money and food. It also caused more than 100,000 Jiangnan people to fight in all directions. In the end, they were defeated like mountains, causing the lives of Jiangnan to be devastated. He was notorious among the people.

If you can't even be considered a kind family, how can you talk about caring for your hometown?

Anger condensed in Shen Lun's chest, but he knew that His Highness the King of Wei was not easy to offend, not to mention that the only one who could save the Shen family from danger at the moment was His Highness the King of Wei. He could only say: "I'm ashamed of myself. After everything in the past, the Shen family It is true that there are some unsatisfactory things, but at that time, the world was in troubled times, and all the heroes in the world were rising up, even though my father had not taken the stand. Since then, the land of Jiangdong will also be involved in the disaster of war, how can it be immune? Moreover, since my father was killed in the battle, the Shen family has been dormant in the countryside, building bridges and paving roads, benefiting thousands of people in the countryside... Today is different from the past, Everyone in the Shen family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They only know how to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and never dare to have any dissent. "

Li Tai sat on the chair with a look of disdain on his face: "Haha, during the Sui Dynasty, the Shen family was quite courageous. However, when the Tang Dynasty was established, you stopped asking about political affairs and stayed dormant in the countryside... Why, the Shen family was dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, and Or are you dissatisfied with our Li Tang royal family?”

Mu Yuanzuo said nothing, glanced at Shen Lun who was sweating, and felt a little sympathetic.

His Highness the King of Wei seems to be quite easy to talk to, but in fact Fang Jun is much more cunning. If he doesn't cut off a few kilograms of meat this time, Shen Lun may not be able to get out of this house...

Shen Lun nodded his head and said in fear: "How dare I have such an intention? Your Highness has misunderstood! The Shen family realized all the shortcomings in the past, so they practiced virtue and did good deeds to make up for the king's sins. They are loyal to His Majesty and willing to do so. Die, Your Highness will learn from you!”

He was really scared.

This assassination of Fang Jun is a huge case. Even if it is not enough to kill the entire Shen family, it can definitely involve the core members of the clan. After severe punishment, the Shen family will be like a stripped backbone. The dragon can no longer control the wind and rain.

But even though he was so humble, King Wei kept talking about the Shen family's rebellion in the past. Could it be that he was planning to directly accuse the Shen family of treason and completely eliminate them?

That would be all over...

However, it seemed that no matter what he said, King Wei could find some fault in it and accuse him of a life-threatening crime. He had no choice but to look at Mu Yuanzuo: "Mu Governor, you are the official of Suzhou's parents, and the Shen family is under your control. Your Majesty has always abided by the law, please explain it to His Highness!”

You have swallowed all the benefits and promised to speak for me, but are you backing out now?

Mu Yuanzuo coughed dryly and said cautiously: "Your Highness Mingjian, although the Wu Xing Shen family had bad deeds in the past, they have indeed changed their appearance and are dedicated to good deeds. Their reputation in the countryside is also very good. Didn't the Navy say that all involved Have all the assassins been arrested? Then let's interrogate strictly. Those who are involved should not be tolerated, but those who are not involved should not be expanded. After all, the Emperor's Eastern Expedition is imminent. The whole country is preparing to send troops to Liaodong and sweep across Goguryeo. If instability occurs in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, it will easily lead to delays in the collection of money, grain, and taxes. After all, this is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. For collection, we still have to rely heavily on famous families like the Wuxing Shen family. Even when there was a famine in previous years, the court's tax collection was insufficient, but these families took the time from their family resources to advance the payment..."

Shen Lun said quickly: "What the Ming Dynasty said makes sense! If I, a descendant of the Shen clan, participated in the assassination of the Yue Duke, I would not be held accountable by the court. I will chop these disloyal and unjust people into pieces and destroy my relatives in a righteous way! But now the Yue people The Duke was furious Ying, if the investigation continues, I am afraid that the stability of Jiangnan will be shaken. My Shen family is willing to donate 500,000 yuan of money and 50,000 dan of food to help your majesty sweep Goguryeo and achieve the great hegemony of the emperor for eternity!"

The Shen family has a great reputation, but in fact it is not considered to be the first-class family in Jiangnan. Although Shen Faxing's efforts made the Shen family's life known to the world, the ensuing fiasco also made the Shen family fall to the bottom. , worked hard for many years after entering the Tang Dynasty Things have improved a bit just now. The total assets of Qian Botian's house are only two to three million guan. To spend 500,000 guan and 50,000 shi of food all at once is indeed a waste of everything. It took selling a lot of property to get it together.

But compared to the survival of the family, what is it? As long as the person and the family are there, millions of wealth can be gathered in just a few seconds. If the person is gone and the family is destroyed, doesn't it mean that no matter how much money is in someone else's pocket?

Shen Lun was very open-minded. Since His Highness the King of Wei did not hesitate to go to the south of the Yangtze River as a prince just for the goods and farming industry, then it is obvious that this person values ​​money very seriously, so he will give him a generous gift. Unbelief cannot impress him.

As long as King Wei opens his mouth, how can Fang Jun dare to go his own way and punish the Shen family severely?

In fact, his calculations were indeed good. Li Tai is now almost transformed into a money stick. County schools and township schools are being opened in various places, and students recruited from various places are about to go to various schools to serve as teachers, with room and board provided. Another huge expense, I wish I could walk with my head down to see if I am lucky enough to pick up a few coins...

The goods and property were all sold to the Xiao family before, and they haven't seen any cash yet. If such a large sum of money is added, and there is no need to worry about money in the next two or three years, how can Li Tai not be tempted?

But this His Highness felt that since Fang Jun's power could frighten the famous Wu Xing Shen family to such an extent that he could spit out half of his family property in one fell swoop, why not be more ruthless?

Anyway, the Shen family deserved it. The fault was that the Eastern Expedition was imminent. Fang Jun did not dare to provoke his father. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would have sent the navy soldiers through the door of the Shen family, killing your immediate family first and then killing him... …

Therefore, although His Highness King Wei's heart was pounding, his face remained calm and even a little unhappy: "The laws and regulations of the country were established by the late emperor and his father. Even if a prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention Is it just a Shen family? ”

Mu Yuanzuo said with admiration: "But Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty also has a method of atonement with fines."

Li Tai then stared: "Then you can go to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment? Let's see how much gold can redeem the Shen family's sins this time! It's not you, Inspector Mu, who brought him here, otherwise you think this king will meet him Is it true? Everyone knows that this king has a close relationship with Fang Jun, so we are here to meet with him to assassinate him. His murderer, how do you want the people of the world to judge me? How do you want the Duke of Yue to view me? You go to Chang'an, to Dali Temple, to the Ministry of Punishment. If you don't know the way, I will give you a token. You can stay at all the stations along the way, so go quickly.”

Mu Yuanzuo was about to say more, but Shen Lun quickly stopped him. He finally understood, why is this person so difficult to talk to? It's obviously too little.

"Your Highness is kind, how can the guilt of the Shen family be measured in gold, silver, and silk? I feel that my sins are so serious that I dare not go to Chang'an. I am willing to offer one million coins and three hundred thousand stones of rice, and I sincerely ask Your Highness to speak kindly to the Duke of Yue. A few words, I’m so grateful that I’ve ruined my family and career.” (End of Chapter)
