Daming female local tyrant

What Shen Wan gave to her grandfather Shen Xiang was only a folded palm-sized note with a few lines written on it.

These few lines are an introduction about a person: Hu Quan, Jinling admiral weaving eunuch, 37 years old, is a native of Jinling.Born in the eighth year of Jiajing and entered the palace in the 18th year of Jiajing, he was a small fire at the beginning, and became Emperor Xi because of his diligence.In the first year of Longqing, it was ordered to admiral Jinling weaving.

After reading it, Shen Xiang's expression changed, he held the note tightly in his hand, and looked at Shen Wan with a solemn expression. His eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion, and he asked for a long time what Shen Wan meant by giving him such a note.

Shen Wan lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Granddaughter once heard someone tell an old story. This old story is related to Hu Quan in the note I just gave to grandfather. I wonder if grandfather would like to hear about it?"

Shen Xiang was startled when he heard the words, he vaguely felt that his granddaughter Shen Wan probably heard something about the past 30 years ago.However, when he did that thing back then, the only person who knew him was Huang Rongfa, the patriarch of the Huang family, and Huang Rongfa had died of illness three years ago. It stands to reason that the only person in the world who knew him was himself.

But now the granddaughter standing in front of him wants to bring up this old incident, which makes him feel incredible.

Maybe what the granddaughter wants to say is not what she did, let's listen to what she has to say.

Shen Xiang pretended to be calm, and said to Shen Wan: "Say it."

Shen Wan started talking, saying that it happened in 33. At that time, the Hu family, the first family in Jinling, celebrated the birthday of their ancestor, Mrs. Chen. When he was at the bend of the river, Ye Lai's strong men boarded the boat, murdered people, robbed property, and burned the painting boat.

As a result, the Hu clan was exterminated, and only a loyal servant of Shanshui escaped with Hu Quan, who was only four years old.

Because of the catastrophe that the Hu family suffered, the family fortune fell into a slump, and within a few years, the family business was divided up by those managers and shopkeepers.

In the 15th year of Jiajing, the loyal servant took Hu Quan to his hometown near the capital in the north to make a living by farming.

Unexpectedly, the next year, the village where the loyal servant lived suffered a severe drought, the loyal servant was starved to death, and his wife went mad, leaving only Hu Quan and the youngest daughter of the loyal servant and his wife to depend on each other.Because he couldn't make it through, someone in the village sent Hu Quan into the palace to become a small fire fighter.

After the decline of the Hu family, the head of the four famous families in Jinling became the Shen family, and another family, the Huang family, was able to enter the list of the four famous families in Jinling.

Shen Wan did not say the following words, the outer study room was completely silent at this moment, she raised her head to look at her grandfather, and found that his face was as white as paper, his forehead was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat, and he was holding a note on the red sandalwood desk. His hands were shaking slightly.

There is no need for Shen Wan to say it clearly, she believes that her grandfather must be able to hear what she is talking about.

At that time, in order for the Shen family to replace the Hu family as the head of the four prominent families in Jinling, his grandfather cooperated with the Huang family, who had made their fortune by robbery, and wiped out the Hu family. Except for Hu Quan, who escaped fortunately, the other Hu families Everyone died.

The unfortunate incident of the Hu family's extermination shocked Jinling, and the government sent people to investigate, but no strong evidence was found to prove who did it.Afterwards, when the Hu family was in decline with no one in charge, it was Shen Xiang who cooperated with Huang Rongfa to lure the managers and shopkeepers of the Hu family to swallow up the business and shops of the Hu family, bought the properties of the Hu family at a low price, strengthened himself, and destroyed the Hu family. the Hu family.

In the end, Shen Xiang asked with trembling lips how Shen Wan knew about this matter, which was equivalent to admitting that he was involved in the matter that destroyed the Hu family back then.

He couldn't figure out what to say, but his granddaughter Shen Wan would know about the old incident more than 30 years ago. He thought that there must have been another living/alive back then, and told Shen Wan about the Hu family.

He wanted Shen Wan to tell who this person was, and he wanted to kill the grass.

Shen Wan said: "My granddaughter also heard the rumors that that person traveled all over the world without a trace. When my granddaughter said this, I really hope that my grandfather can make the decision for me and let me make peace with that lustful and immoral Xiao Yulang."

Shen Xiang's face was frighteningly pale, and now he understands that after his eldest granddaughter learned of this Shen family's big secret from nowhere, she used it to threaten herself and asked her patriarch to support her reconciliation.

If Shen Wan didn't have this secret in hand, of course it would be impossible for him to agree to her request.

However, Shen Wan used this secret to blackmail him, and he also felt that it was extremely disobedient. As a member of the Shen family, couldn't Shen Wan understand that if this secret was leaked out, he, the patriarch, would be arrested by the government as a public display. Will the Shen family follow suit?

Shen Xiang stood up angrily, thumped the desk heavily, and angrily reprimanded Shen Wan: "You are so rebellious, you dare to threaten the old man, aren't you afraid that the old man will regard you as a disobedient person and kill you?"

Shen Wan smiled slightly and said: "Of course I believe it. Grandpa's methods were so cruel back then. If I didn't leave behind, how dare I come to see Grandpa. If Grandpa really wants to beat me to death, then let him go."

Hearing this, Shen Xiang became even angrier. He really wanted to kill him just now, thinking that if he killed Shen Wan, no one could threaten him anymore. As for the wandering man, he just told Shen Wan, But he didn't come to trouble the Shen family, obviously he had already become a monk and didn't want to get involved in the mundane world.

In this way, wouldn't there be no future troubles if Shen Wan, an unfilial granddaughter, was beaten to death?

Who would have thought that Shen Wan would have a back hand, so that he would not dare to touch her, and would be threatened by her to change his mind, offend the Xiao family, and support Shen Wan in reconciling with Xiao Yulang.

For so many years, Shen Xiang has been calling the wind and rain in Jinling, and he has never been deflated, but today he was restrained by his own granddaughter, which made him very angry, pointing at Shen Wan and shaking his hands: "...you... …you……"

The corners of Shen Wan's eyes twitched slightly, she bowed her body, and said softly: "The granddaughter can't do it either, I implore the grandfather to do it..."

Before she could straighten up, she heard the sound of books, porcelain, etc. being pushed to the ground from the desk, followed by a bang, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

It wasn't long before Shen Chang and Mrs. Yu returned to Ronghui Hall, and before they had finished their two servings of tea, a servant girl rushed in to report to them that something was wrong, and the old master passed out in the outer study and hurt his head. Now the family manager has gone to ask the doctor to come and see.

"I went to say hello to my father these few days. He is all right. He has never had a fainting problem before. Why did he suddenly do this?" Shen Chang stood up and said anxiously, as if he was asking Mrs. Yu or The maid who came to report the letter.

The maid who came to report the news told Shen Chang that before the old man passed out, he met Xiao Yulang, the young grandson of the Xiao family, and the eldest aunt was also there at that time.

After hearing this, Shen Chang and Mrs. Yu thought that the old man's fainting was probably related to the quarrel between Shen Wan and Xiao Yulang.

The couple also heard that the old man had hurt his head when he passed out, and they didn't know if it was serious or not, so they hurried to the study outside.

When I arrived at the old man's outer study, I saw him put on an arhat bed, with a bloodstained veil wrapped around his head.His whole body looked like gold paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was blood foaming from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he was in a very bad condition.

There were people inside and outside the outer study room, and when all the rooms learned that the old man had passed out, the head of the house all came.

Everyone looked solemn, discussing the old man's injury in a low voice from time to time.

Shen Wan was standing in the innermost part of the crowd. She was standing in front of the old man's bed where the arhat was lying. There were tears on her face. It seemed that she had cried just now.

They didn't see Xiao Yulang, presumably that guy saw something happened to the old man, and he was afraid that the Shen family would settle accounts with him, so he slipped away first.

Shen Chang and Yu's couple really guessed right. Xiao Yulang, who was waiting outside the outer study, heard a lot of noise coming from inside the study, so he ran in to have a look, only to see Shen Xiang, the head of the Shen family, fell down beside the desk, full of tears. The head is blood.Shen Wan squatted beside him, at a loss, calling her grandfather with tears in her voice.

Immediately afterwards, many servants ran in from outside the study. Seeing that something had happened to Shen Xiang, they carried the man and reported the news.

Xiao Yulang was afraid that when the Shen family members came, they would vent their anger on him, so taking advantage of the chaos, he sneaked out and went back in the Xiao family's carriage waiting outside the door.On the carriage, he thought, now that something happened to the patriarch of the Shen family, he can go back and explain it, and don't blame him if he can't pick up Shen Wan.

In addition, he also guessed that Shen Xiang's fainting was probably irritated by Shen Wan who insisted on reconciling with him. Speaking of which, Shen Xiang's accident was caused by him coming to Shen's house to pick up Shen Wan, and then begging to see Shen Xiang.If something happened to Shen Xiang, the Shen family would definitely blame him. In this way, most likely the Shen family would support Shen Wan to reconcile with him.It would be great if this is the case, lest I really ruin my reputation and lose my qualification as the heir of the head of the Xiao family.

Now he was looking up at the sky and praying to the Buddha on the carriage, begging the Bodhisattva to bless Shen Xiang in the event of an accident, it would be better to die, in that way, he would be able to reap the benefits and reconcile with Shen Wan smoothly.

He didn't miss Shen Wan at all, and felt that without her, his sexual life would really come.

I don't know if the Bodhisattva heard Xiao Yulang's plea. After the doctor came to see the unconscious Shen Xiang, he said to the old lady Li and the others who rushed over, "Let's prepare for the old man's funeral."

The old lady Li and others burst into tears as soon as they heard it, and asked the doctor to save the old lady Shen's life no matter what.

The doctor said that he was helpless, and if the old lady Li and others didn't believe him, they could hire someone else.

The old lady Li and the others knew that the doctor who came to treat the old man was a famous doctor from Jinling/city/. He said that he really had to prepare for the funeral.

The doctor also said that the old man can live for another six to ten hours at most, and the Shen family should prepare funeral affairs so as not to make mistakes in their busy schedule.

The old lady Li wiped away her tears with grief, called the clan together, and gave instructions on how to prepare for the funeral.

Shen Wan was called to the inner room of the study by old lady Li, and asked her to kneel down, asking her to tell the truth about how angry old lady Shen fainted and injured.

Threatening grandfather with the matter of the Hu family and making him support her and Li's matter, of course Shen Wan would not be able to speak out.She could only say that she didn't listen to her grandfather's words, and asked her grandfather to support her to reconcile with Xiao Yulang, but when his grandfather refused, she forced her to die, which made her grandfather angry.

Grandfather was so angry that he fainted.

When I fell, my head accidentally hit the sharp corner of the chair, and a lot of blood came out.

After hearing this, the old lady Li sighed again and again, saying that she never expected that Shen Wan's return to her natal home this time would bring such a catastrophe to the Shen family, causing the old lady's life to be lost, and causing herself to lose her wife who had been with her for many years.

She thought that Shen Wan's crime was too great, and she must be severely punished after the old man's funeral was over, otherwise she would not be able to explain to the Shen family.As for the matter of reconciling with Xiao Yulang, Shen Wan's father, the successor patriarch, made the decision, and she, an old woman, didn't care.

The author has something to say: Oh, many relatives have guessed it, and there is a red envelope for you.

I personally like the plot of these two chapters.
