After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the Shen family in front of him.

I think someone had already informed the Shen family when we entered the village just now.

At this time, all the Shen family members were already waiting at the door.

Xiang Hongxuan was right. According to the current relationship between the Shen family and the villagers, there must be people who are thinking about the Shen family.

General Xiang had been to Wuhe Village many times, so the villagers naturally knew him.

But this time it was different. There was a strange man riding in front with General Xiang.

The man was wearing fancy clothes and looked a bit like a eunuch in an opera.

The villagers did not dare to delay, and a few of them who ran fast had already run to deliver the letter to the Shen family.

The Shen family lives at the end of the village. It takes at least an incense stick of time to walk from the village entrance to the Shen family's house.

The people who delivered the letter took the small path, which was naturally much faster.

The villagers of Wuhe Village had never seen such a scene before, and everyone was lagging behind the team.

They intuitively felt that something big must be happening in the Shen family this time.

After the Shen family received the news, Shen Maoshan quickly notified the people from the first and third houses to gather at the second house.

Mr. Shen was very confused about who was coming to the Shen family.

Seeing that everyone was dressed, Shen Maoshan said in a deep voice, "Just now, the villagers delivered a message that General Xiang brought someone to the Shen family."

"Who is it?"

Since coming to Wuhe Village, the relationship between the Shen family and Xiang Hongxuan has eased a lot.

When they heard that Xiang Hongxuan brought people here, they naturally didn't think that they were people who wanted to harm them.

Shen Maoshan's expression was somewhat serious. "It should be someone from the palace."

If he guessed correctly, it must be someone sent by the emperor.

Someone in the palace?

That’s the emperor’s man!

What does the emperor want to do to the Shen family?

Everyone was like a frightened bird, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Even Shen Jinyao, who was always calm, was a little confused.

I don’t know what this mysterious emperor is up to.

She comforted Madam Shen and the others, "No matter who it is, no matter what they want to do to the Shen family, we should not panic for a while."

As long as the emperor is not crazy and wants to kill the Shen family, she believes there is a solution.

Shen Jinyao's cold voice calmed everyone down.

there is always a solution to a problem.

The last time the Shen family received an imperial edict was when their house was raided.

Now it happens again, there is nothing to fear.

When the Shen family saw clearly who the visitor was, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

It turned out to be Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao dismounted and stood in front of the Shen family.

He glanced at the house behind the Shen family. Although it did not look gorgeous, it was the cleanest and tidiest yard in the village.

Looking at the people in the Shen family, no one had a look of dejection on their face.

Not only that, the villagers of Wuhe Village are not as poor and powerless as previously rumored.

Looking at the faces of the villagers in Wuhe Village, there was more worry than curiosity, and you knew that the Shen family definitely had a place in this village.

There is also the city wall of Wuhe Village.

Not only is it guarded, but it is also very orderly.

These are definitely related to Xiang Hongxuan, the garrison general, but being so meticulous is definitely not something a general who is always on the outside can do.

There must be someone in this village who manages these things.

Who else could it be besides the Shen family?

He thought of the secret letter that the informant had presented to the emperor.

Feeling relieved.

I thought it was better to keep the news secret.

Along the way, he also wanted to see how the Shen family managed to live such a prosperous life in Wuhe Village.

When he really met Shen Maoshan and others.

I couldn't help but wonder, how could the Shen family members look like exiles?

He had seen how poor the Shen family had become.

It is really good to be able to achieve what we have now in just a few years.

"Eunuch Gao, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

Shen Maoshan was a marquis after all, so it was absolutely impossible for him to bow to a eunuch.

The Shen family just smiled and nodded.

Eunuch Gao blinked slightly, wondering if it was his illusion, but it seemed that Shen Maoshan was different from before.

He couldn't tell what the difference was.

So he didn't waste any time.

"Shen Maoshan, everyone in the Shen family, please accept my order."

It was indeed an imperial edict.

The Shen family and everyone present knelt on the ground.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Shen Maoshan and Shen Zhizheng return to the capital to appear before Him effective immediately."

"According to the order."

After everyone kowtowed, there was an uproar.

Of course, the ones who couldn't restrain themselves were the villagers of Wuhe Village.

They tried to speak as quietly as possible.

"Returning to the capital to see the emperor? Did you all hear that? Did you hear that?"

"Oh, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, can't you see the noble man is talking?"

"We are not deaf. The Master and the Eldest Son of the Shen Family are returning to the capital to meet the Emperor."

"So, you say, is the Shen family really going to turn things around?"

The village chief coughed, and everyone lowered their heads slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense. Turn over? Humph, that has never happened in our Quzhou."

"Then why do you want them to return to Beijing, Village Chief?"

"Yes, the Shen family is the first family to be called back to meet the Emperor after being exiled."

Over the years, many families in Wuhe Village have been exiled.

However, many of them found ways to escape from Wuhe Village and settle in other villages.

Apart from those who died in Wuhe Village, the Shen family was indeed the first family that could live so well in Wuhe Village.

Not only that, but the whole village also lived a better life.

Take potatoes and sweet potatoes for example, many families have become rich because of them.

As for the Shen family's caravan, they took many men with them.

Also, some time ago, the Qiang people were going to attack Quzhou.

If they attack, the first village to suffer will be Wuhe Village.

The imperial court certainly wouldn't care about the lives of the people in a village.

They will not send anyone to guard this place specifically.

General Xiang still has to lead his men to fight on the front line, so they will not cause trouble for him.

If the Shen family had not led people to build this city wall and arranged for everyone to take turns guarding it, it is hard to say whether Wuhe Village would still exist.

If the emperor comes to his senses and wants the Shen family to return, it is not impossible.

They heard that the second master of the Shen family was wrongly accused.

It is not impossible for them to overturn the verdict.

When the village chief saw that no one listened to him, he curled his lips and looked like he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.

Then the Shen family received the imperial edict and invited Eunuch Gao into the house for tea.

"Since Mr. Shen has invited me, I will come and ask for a cup of tea."

Shen Jinyao took out a few purses from the space and handed them to her third uncle Shen Mingshan.

Shen Mingshan glanced at Shen Jinyao. This girl really thought the same thing as him.

But he didn't have that much cash.

The other members of the Shen family naturally also thought of giving money as a reward to Eunuch Gao and the others, but they also did not have that much money.

I was thinking of waiting until I got into the house before talking about it.

No one thought much about the fact that Shen Jinyao had so much money on her.

Eunuch Gao took it with satisfaction, wiped it gently, and was a little surprised.

The money given by the Shen family was actually no less than that given by the third prince.
