A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd. Shen Linzi and Shen Tianzi looked at each other, stepped out from the crowd, and said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, we, the Shen clan, have a strong say in the chaos caused by monsters and thieves.
Yes, as Marshal Liu just said, our Shen family is the most typical example of being deceived by the demon thief's rhetoric, boarding the thief's ship, and almost destroying the whole family."
Everyone's voices suddenly stopped, and everyone listened quietly. Over the years, among the children of these aristocratic families, Liu Yu often secretly established his own power in the name of suppressing thieves and suppressing rebellions, and even did not hesitate to recruit those cruel people.
The idea that the army of demon thieves and the rebellious local tycoon families in Wudi are trying to attack the noble families is quite popular despite the demonic words that Liu Tingyun and others have used to confuse the public for many years. It is most commonly used to
An example that supports this statement is the Wu Xing Shen family.
Sure enough, someone in the crowd was whispering: "Isn't this the Shen family that once rebelled and rebelled? Huh, I think Marshal Liu was deceived by the Shen family and kept him by his side for a while. I don't know when he will be with you."
Will he surrender to the demon thief again?"
"That's right, maybe the spies in this city are their surnamed Shen. They are just playing tricks on both sides, and they will vote for whoever gets the upper hand. I heard that this person surnamed Shen just returned to his hometown to kill people for revenge after being pardoned. He is so ferocious.
They are definitely not good people. If I were Marshal Liu, I would definitely not keep them."
"That's right, those monster thieves have drank human blood and eaten human flesh. Just like Marshal Liu said, they are devils walking in the world and there is no cure."
"Maybe the person named Shen panicked after hearing Marshal Liu's words and is now going to show his loyalty."
"Ha, that means he has something up his sleeve. Maybe the fake Sima Yuanxian's son was created by the collusion between Liu Tingyun and their surname Shen. Marshal Liu held a conference here, so he probably discovered their conspiracy. Huh,
I knew that the purpose of gathering everyone here was to find out the culprit of the conspiracy, and to clarify the punishment and boost morale just like the execution of Wei Shunzhi."
Shen Linzi's ears were filled with the sounds of such remarks, and what he saw in his eyes were mostly the disdainful looks of the children of the aristocratic families in the audience. However, he looked calm and said calmly: "
I have heard everyone's concerns and opinions about my Shen family. In fact, I have heard too many such voices not just today, but over the years. However, my Shen brothers have been in the army for a long time and have been able to maintain their
In our country, we don’t even have many opportunities to enter Jiankang City. Many prejudices and misunderstandings arise just because of this distance. In the end, prejudices are formed, which are irrefutable. Today, I take this opportunity to discuss these issues.
I need to explain the matter, the reputation of the Shen family is small, and Marshal Liu’s policy of appeasing the rebellious people must not be misinterpreted by some people with ulterior motives!"
His words suppressed these discussions for a while. Some people sneered and said, "Let's see what reason the fourth son of the Shen family can come up with to dispel the worries that I have been waiting for for many years."
Shen Linzi said sternly: "My Shen family has always been a wealthy family in Wuxing. It has been a local wealthy family since the Sun family's Soochow era. When the Jin Dynasty crossed south, all branches of my Shen family actively protected us.
As a result, Conglong Zhigong replaced the original Zhou family and became the first-class family in Wu. I am afraid no one will deny this."
Someone in the audience said coldly: "Why are you bringing this up? Why didn't you mention that Shen Chong, a member of the Shen family, rebelled against Wang Dun and caused chaos? As a result, he died and his family was destroyed. The entire Shen family was reduced to the same fate as the Zhou family.
It’s a third-rate family.”
Shen Linzi nodded: "Yes, this brother is right. My Shen family is unlucky. When I could have risen from the power of the dragon to a first-class family in the Jin Dynasty, the traitor Shen Chong appeared and caused chaos. As a result,
Tens of thousands of Shen's children died or were captured, and they turned from heroes to rebels in a mere thought. I will not give any explanation for this. I can only say that all of us Shen's children have learned from it painfully over the past few decades.
I am deeply ashamed of what Shen Chong did."
The voice in the audience was accompanied by a burst of strange laughter: "If you hadn't once again rebelled against the Heavenly Master's Tao and became a demon thief, I would have really believed your nonsense. Shen Linzi, you Shen clan
Rebellion has a family tradition, and it is still the same even now. I think you are going to have your wrong ideas again this time when the monsters and thieves are attacking the city."
Shen Linzi laughed: "It seems that this dear friend has misunderstood us too deeply. We don't even know how our Shen Nong family went astray and got involved in the chaos of Tianshi Dao. Today, I feel the need to misunderstand us even more."
This matter has been explained.”
"Since Shen Chong's rebellion, our Shen family has indeed become a third-rate family in Wu. Not only is it incomparable to top families like the Wang family and Xie family in Jiankang City, it is also incomparable to local families like the Zhang family and Gu family in Wu.
, also widened the gap. Every one of us Shen family children are deeply ashamed. Just like our Wuxing Shen family, for several generations, we have begun to give up literature and join the military, just thinking that if we have the opportunity, we can join the army to serve the country and kill thieves.
Actions to serve the country wipe away the shame of the ancestors and restore the glory of the family. The most typical one is Shen Chong's son Shen Jin. He stayed alone in Luoyang and sacrificed his life for the country. With his own feats, he reversed the world's prejudice against our Shen family.
, and also gives us descendants and nephews a chance to start over."
The voice in the audience fell silent for a while, and then began to say again: "Shen Jin is indeed a heroic man, but you have failed his heroic deeds again. You are a traitor and a thief. Even God cannot cleanse you."
Shen Linzi sighed: "There is a reason for this. As I said just now, our Shen family has been practicing martial arts for generations since Shen Jin began. We want to join the army to serve the country and make achievements to atone for the sins of the Shen Chong Rebellion and revitalize the family.
My late father also kept this lesson in mind. As a county magistrate, he always urged us to practice martial arts and taught us that one day we should defend our country and drive away the barbarians, so as to leave a good name for future generations like Mr. Shen Jin did."
"Like all the aristocratic families and powerful people in Wu, Tianshi Dao had always appeared as a savior and a helper for the people before the rebellion, helping the common people, helping each other with five buckets of rice, and doing many good deeds. If they hadn't been among the people for hundreds of years,
With a good reputation, how could it be possible to lure so many people to follow it? In other words, maybe Tianshi Tao has only had rebelliousness in the successive leaders since Sun Tai. It cannot be said that the previous leaders in the past hundreds of years were all rebellious ministers.
Thieves. If they are all rebellious officials and traitors, then what do you think of all the aristocratic families who have been friends with Tianshi Tao for hundreds of years, have been incense and even sent their nephews to practice? "
