Chapter 269: Resigned to fate


Chapter 269 Resigned to fate, the Shen family is not rich for generations, in fact, Shen Hong can be regarded as a self-made man who rose in the middle of the world.Compared with other wealthy families, Shen Hong is much more cautious.But no matter how careful and cautious you are, there are some things that you can't hide.It's like this time, he actually knows very well that the Shen family was robbed, not because of the crimes put forward by the Jiezhou Prefecture on the surface, but the real reason is that the former Shanxi political envoy, who had a close relationship with the Shen family, was convicted, and their Shen family was implicated.It seems that the current lord of the feudal domain is preparing to take this opportunity to clean up the forces and relations left behind by the former feudal lord in Shanxi.If he can choose, Shen Hong also wants to change his court immediately and join the new lord of the domain, all of which is mainly to protect the foundation of the Shen family.But at that time, the former political envoy was transferred to the capital to serve as an official, and on the surface, he was still promoted, and his influence in the officialdom was still not small.Second, when the new feudal lord takes office, he also has his own dependent younger brother, and there are new interests to distribute, and if there is no right time, rashly attached, he will not be trusted, and will only be used and squeezed.Third, he didn't expect that the former political envoy would have an accident so soon, be caught in the end, and die of illness in prison, let alone that he would be implicated so soon.Shen Hong knew that although he was rich and could be regarded as the number one person in Shanxi shopping malls, in the eyes of those officialdom bigwigs, he was insignificant at all, and he was like a small shrimp.The bigwigs did not target the Shen family when dealing with the Shen family, but just used the Shen family to test it.The more Shen Hong knew this, the more powerless he felt.Because that means that whether the Shen family can survive this catastrophe has nothing to do with the Shen family itself, but depends on the game between the bigwigs.The only thing Shen Hong could do was to write a few letters and send them to his granddaughter Shen Ying, asking her to help pass them on to some officials who had past friendships, many of whom were also related to the former political envoy, or protégés and former officials, or allies, close friends, in-laws and friends.But Shen Hong knew that these people were too late to protect themselves at this time, so where would they really help the Shen family?

If the former political envoy is still alive, has not been stripped of his official hat, and has not completely lost power, then he may still be able to struggle, because if the Shen family is killed, it will also mean that their entire faction is weak and weak.But now, powerlessness and weakness are a fait accompli.Although there is little hope, Shen Hong is not too troubled and sad in prison, he should eat, he should sleep, although the prison is cold and damp, and it is almost difficult to get the sun, so that he has to fall into joint pain every night, but he is not seriously ill, and his mental state is even much better than that of his sons.His character has always been like this, if he can exert his strength, he will naturally do his best, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will try and never give up.But if you can't do anything by yourself, then there is no need to be pained and entangled needlessly, just resign yourself to fate.A certain prince of the King of Jin once sent a message to him that if he sent his granddaughter Shen Ying to the palace of the King of Jin to be a palace maid for four years, he could save the lives of him and his sons.Shen Hong scoffed at this, he naturally wouldn't be fooled by this kind of inferior lie.He pretended to be perfunctory and did not give any reply to the people of the palace.If his sons hadn't been in prison with him, but were out on the job, he would have to worry about whether they would have agreed to a possible fluke.But now it is Shen Ying who is in charge outside, and he still trusts this granddaughter's brain, knowing that Shen Ying will not be fooled.originally thought that this matter might not have a result until at least after Qingming, but he didn't expect that just after the first lunar month, he was released from prison.Not only did the cell boss personally take him out, and he kindly asked him to forgive him for his neglect during this period of time - in fact, because of the reason that the silver opened the way, both him and the other Shen family members were treated favorably in prison during this time, and they were not treated slowly.Moreover, even the lord of the state ya, Bo, personally came over to greet him and let him relax, their Shen family's grievances have already been known, and they will soon be returned to their innocence.And it also hinted a little that there is a meaning of the Jin Wangfu behind this.In this way, Shen Hong immediately knew that the haze that was dense above the Shen family's head had temporarily dissipated.But he didn't know the specific reason.After leaving the cell, he saw his granddaughter Shen Ying, who had been waiting here for a long time, and then he knew that in the past three days, Shen Ying had gone to the state capital prison every day to inquire about the news, and immediately realized that he could come out so quickly because it should be related to his granddaughter.After getting into the carriage, changing into a new robe, and drinking some hot tea to warm up, Shen Ying, although her eyes were slightly red, and she was excited to finally see the moon, but she still controlled her emotions, and briefly mentioned the process of running around from Xie Zhou with her grandfather's letter last time, focusing on the robbery and killing of the master sent by the second prince at the inn when they returned, mentioning the encounter with "Wang Ping'an", mentioning the promise of "Wang Ping'an", and then the letter sent by the man named Zhang Boyang she received a few days ago.Seeing Shen Hong take the letter and look through it, Shen Ying went over and opened the curtain of the car to let the light leak in and make it easier for his grandfather to read the letter.After Shen Hong quickly read the letter, he frowned slightly, raised his head and said to his granddaughter, "What is the origin of this Wang Ping'an?"

”Shen Ying immediately told her grandfather what she knew, the information about "Wang Ping'an", and added at the end: "But my grandson always feels that Wang Daxia seems to have other identities, and when I talk to him, I always feel that he has a feeling that he is hidden and difficult to see." ”Shen Hong nodded thoughtfully, judging from the content of this letter, he was able to get out of prison and the Shen family was able to temporarily relieve the crisis, it was really the handiwork of this "Wang Ping'an", he didn't know what means he used to influence the Jin Palace, so that the Jin Palace's mediation allowed him to regain his freedom.And you must know that the Shen family suffered before, but there was also the Jin Wangfu behind it, and they had not achieved their goal yet, and they did not get enough benefits from the Shen family, so how could they stop?

Although the crisis of the Shen family has been alleviated, it seems that Shen Ying has met the help of nobles, but Shen Hong can't completely relax now.That "Wang Ping'an" told his granddaughter very directly, he had a plan, and he would visit Shen's house then.Shen Hong didn't think that "Wang Ping'an" would be much easier to send than the people from the Jin Palace, the State Government Yamen, and the Political Secretary Yamen.However, he also knew that in the current situation, he had no choice, and the Shen family had no choice.
