Hu Quan sent someone to Shen's house to meet Shen Wan, and asked her to go to the weaving office in Jinling. The matter that Shen Wan entrusted him to do a few days ago had some clues.

When Shen Wan got the letter, she immediately changed her clothes, took the maids Bai Ju and Platycodon grandiflora, and asked the servant to drive safely to Jinling Weaving Yamen to meet Hu Quan.

After Shen Wan sat down in Hu Quan's study in Jinling Weaving Yamen, Hu Quan said: "The brothers under my hand spent more than ten days, and finally found out who threw the black cat that day, startled the horse, and made my brother The carriage overturned, causing my younger brother to fall and hurt his head. By the way, is your brother's head injury better?"

Shen Wan thanked Hu Quan first, and asked Hu Quan's brothers to help her investigate the matter, and then said that her brother Shi Si's head injury was much better and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.

Hu Quan said good, and then continued: "Let's get down to business, let's talk about the person who threw the black cat and killed Lingdi. This person's name is Wei San, and he is an idler in Jinling City. He took in a silk and satin shop named Li Qu." I found a black cat for my buddy’s money, and waited at the corner of the small street where Lingdi’s carriage passed by, throwing a big black cat to intentionally startle the horse. Li Qu is a clerk from your Shen family’s silk shop. Wei San is a cousin. As for who Li Qu was entrusted with, he also recruited him. He is the Shen family's Dong Guanshi, and Dong Guanshi is under the Shen family's second young master Shen Shilian..."

After listening to Hu Quan's words, Shen Wan thought to herself, as she had guessed earlier, the injury of her younger brother Shisi was related to her second uncle and his son.

When Hu Quan said this, he rubbed his brows, and then looked at Shen Wan and said, "After checking this, the brothers under my hand are asking for my advice. Do you want to continue to investigate? That is to say, the Dong from your Shen family is surnamed Dong. The steward was arrested and asked about his statement. Then, I want to ask you, what do you mean, do you want to investigate further?"

Shen Wan understood Hu Quan's implication very well, that is, further investigation would bring out the members of the Shen family and involve the internal strife of the Shen family.Generally, the family of a famous family does not want to be known to outsiders when it handles family conflicts, because that would be a blow to the family's reputation.Hu Quan guessed that maybe Shen Wan heard that this involved internal fighting in the Shen family, and was surprised, there are two ways to deal with this matter, one is to sue the elders of the Shen family, the other is to let Jin Yiwei Tiqi continue to arrest Director Dong, By the way, Shen Shilian was involved, and the matter was made public.

He didn't know the grievances between Shen Wan and his second uncle, father and son, so out of caution, he found Shen Wan and asked her what she thought.

Shen Wan had already thought about it, if Hu Quan finds out for her that the second uncle and his son are behind the murder of her younger brother Shi Si, then she will mercilessly liquidate the second uncle and his son.

Because they targeted her several times and tried to harm her, and now they are even trying to get rid of her younger brother Shisi, and want to take away the position of the patriarch of the Shen family.

With such a vicious person, how could she soften her heart and leave them a way out.

What she could think of was that if she didn't let Hu Quan continue the investigation, but reported the investigation results to the old lady, the old lady would most likely punish the second uncle and his son, for example, forbidding them to intervene in the affairs of the Shen family, but never will exterminate them.

But Shen Wan didn't think that the old lady punished her second son and grandson lightly, so that they would learn their lesson, stop coveting the position of the patriarch of the eldest family, stop hating her, and only wanted to take revenge on her.

Only by knocking them down completely, discrediting their father and son, letting the Shen clan see their true colors clearly, and letting them be rejected by the Shen clan, will they know how to be afraid and dare not show any intention of harming others.

So Shen Wan decided that she would rather let the Shen family's reputation be damaged and let outsiders know about the internal struggles in the Shen family. She would also let the second uncle and his son be expelled from the family.

Thinking of this, she asked Hu Quan to continue to investigate until she found out who was behind the scenes, and she also told Hu Quan the general reason why she did this.

After hearing this, Hu Quan said: "Then I will help you find out the mastermind who intends to murder your brother this time. You just go back and wait."

Shen Wan thanked Hu Quan, went back to Shen's house and waited quietly.

It didn't take long before there was news, but the news came from old lady Li.

The old lady called Shen Wan over, and her second uncle was also sitting in front of the old lady, and when she saw Shen Wan coming, she glared at her with an angry face. When Shen Wan saw her, she guessed that it was probably Hu Quan's guards in brocade clothes who rode their hands. It is estimated that Dong Guanshi and Shen Shilian were both taken away.

At that time, Jinyiwei Tiqi could arrest and interrogate people without going through the government, and was only responsible to the local guarding eunuch. The guarding eunuch here in Jinling was Hu Quan who was also the Jinling weaving eunuch at that time.

Sure enough, after Shen Wan sat down in front of the old lady, the old lady Li asked Shen Wan what was going on in a cold voice, and her second uncle came over and said that the guard Dong and Shilian were taken away by Jin Yi Wei Ti under Hu Quan's command. .

Shen Wan said calmly: "The granddaughter only thought that Shisi's carriage overturned at the beginning, and the person who threw the black cat and startled the horse halfway was hateful, so she asked Hu Zhenshou to help to find out who was so vicious and wanted to let Shisi His carriage overturned, and he wanted Shisi's life... I didn't expect..."

She looked at Shen Xian who was sitting across from her, and said with a sneer, "I didn't expect Guanshi Dong and my second brother to be involved in this matter, it's really chilling."

Hearing this, Shen Xian's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Shen Wan anymore, but looked at the old lady and said: "Mother, those guards in Jinyi have always been acting out of control, how do you know that they didn't take money from A Wan to frame Shilian on purpose?"

When Shen Wan heard this, she admired her second uncle for being able to beat him up at this time, saying that he deliberately framed Shilian.

With a slight smile, Shen Wan continued: "I just want to ask my second uncle, Shilian and I have no grievances in the past and have no hatred in the present, why should I frame him? If the second uncle has such doubts, we can go to the Jinling magistrate's yamen See you in court, let the prefect of Jinling try this case publicly, what do you think?"

Shen Xian only dared to speak up in front of the old lady, if he wanted to go to the Jinling magistrate's yamen and let the Jinling magistrate have a public trial of the case, he would not dare to go.After all, it is a fact that he conspired with his son to get rid of Shen Shisi. His son asked Guanshi Dong to find someone to ambush Shen Shisi's carriage on the side of the road and throw a big black cat to startle the horse. He also knew it.In court, these things must not be covered up, and they will be tried.

So when Shen Wan said this, he just "hummed" and said that this was a family matter and he didn't need to go to court to solve it, embarrassing the Shen family, so he prevaricated.

Seeing this, old lady Li's expression turned a little ugly. It was clear that she also saw that her second son had a guilty conscience.Reminiscent of the past two years, he has been telling himself that Shi Si is weak and cannot support the Shen family, and asked her to let Shi Lian take charge of the Shen family in the future.It can be seen that he and his son Shilian have always coveted the position of the head of the Shen family, and when Awan came back to help Shisi run the family, they conspired against Shisi.As long as Shisi has three ups and downs, wouldn't the position of head of the Shen family fall into Shilian's hands?

Fortunately, Shisi Mingming is a big man, although he was seriously injured, he recovered after all, and there is no serious problem.

Now Hu Quan is helping to find out who threw the black cat, which caused Shisi's carriage to overturn, Shisi was injured, after many investigations, he found Shilian, the second son came to find his mother in a panic, intending to confuse right and wrong, and help Shisi Even he excused himself?

If this matter is serious, it involves murder, but if it is small, it is an internal struggle within the family.

If it was a matter of business, maybe even her second son would be involved, and the Shen family's reputation would suffer a major blow.Everyone in Jinling City would say that the Shen family was fighting among themselves, and that Shen Xian and his son, in order to seize the position of patriarch, intended to murder Shi Si, who took over the position of patriarch.Although Shi Si is not dead, but this will also cause the second son and grandson Shi Lian to face a lawsuit.

Mrs. Li felt that the Shen family could not afford to lose face, and no matter what, this matter could not be brought before the prefect of Jinling, and the prefect of Jinling should not be allowed to have a public trial on the case.

In front of Shen Wan, the old lady Li asked Shen Xian to stop talking with a sullen face. She said: "Whether this matter is dealt with according to family law or national law, if Hu Quan's Jinyi Weiti rides the trial If the confession is true, then I can't spare Shilian lightly. And you, Shilian's father, can't get away with it! You just go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and I won't let you go out to see anyone!"

Shen Xian agreed with an ugly face, stood up and walked out.

As soon as Shen Xian left, the old lady Li asked Shen Wan: "Wan'er, tell me the truth, how do you want to punish your second brother and your second uncle? But, before you speak, I want to remind you, Our Shen family is the head of the famous families in Jinling, no matter what, the reputation of the Shen family must not be damaged. After all, you are also a descendant of the Shen family, and you must first think of the Shen family when you do anything."

Shen Wan simply said two words: "Quiet."

The old lady Li frowned immediately, and asked Shen Wan: "You mean, you want your second uncle and son to be expelled?"

Shen Wan said yes.

Old Madam Li was silent, she thought that what her grandson Shen Shilian ordered Dong Guanshi to do would be enough to exterminate the family.However, if even the second son was expelled from the clan, she would really be reluctant.

The removal of the clan means that from now on, only the lineage of the eldest son, Shen Chang, will remain in the Shen family's family. Being recognized by the Shen family will be looked down upon wherever he goes.Moreover, they will also live in poverty because of lack of money.

The old lady Li also thought that if Shilian was the only one who did what harmed Shisi this time, if the second son was also expelled from the family, wouldn't that be wronging him?

"Awan, have you thought about it..." Mrs. Li told Shen Wan what she was thinking, and finally she said, "I think it's enough to exterminate Shilian alone. Your second uncle is getting old. You can't stand the weather anymore. As a junior of the Shen family, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. Besides, as long as Shilian is expelled from the family, your second uncle will never have any thoughts about the position of the head of the long family. Think about it."

Of course, Shen Wan was unwilling to agree to the old lady's proposal, and just expelled Shi Lian from the family, and let her second uncle stay in the Shen family and keep everything he had now.However, if she insists on expelling her second uncle from the family right now, it will definitely make the old lady very unhappy.

After thinking about it, she decided not to agree to the old lady so quickly, and after procrastinating, she said: "Old lady, let's wait a moment, wait for the confessions of Shilian and Director Dong, Hu Zhenshou said, after the trial, we will copy Send me a copy. At that time, shall we discuss this matter again?"
