Chapter 195: Hold the shit basin
Shen Wen brought Guan Yonghuan and Jin Sheng back to the capital. Facing the towering city gate, Guan Yonghuan was filled with emotion. He had not returned to this place for many years.
Shen Wen saw him staring at the city gate in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Guan Yonghuan said, "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about some things from the past. You don't know that when I was young, I saw those powerful officials being hanged on the city walls. They were hung for many days. When they were taken down, they had already turned into mummies."
Shen Wen said, "Is there such an exciting thing? Did the imperial court do it? It couldn't be done by someone from the underworld, right? Then the person who did it must be extremely awesome."
Guan Yonghuan didn't answer, but smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows inadvertently.
When they appeared at the city gate, the spies deployed by the Shen family at the city gate had already sent back the news.
So when Shen Wen and his companions stood in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, the servants dressed in mourning were not busy entertaining the guests, but stared at Shen Wen and his companions with a serious look.
Guan Yonghuan joked, "Oh! They are waiting for us! It seems like they have prepared a big show in there."
The Ninth Young Master Shen Maofeng hurried over, squeezed through the crowd and smiled at Shen Wenliang: "Old Seventeen, are you finally willing to go home? You didn't even ask a question about such a big thing as a funeral at home. It seems that you really don't want to stay in this family anymore."
Shen Wen said, "A funeral? Whose funeral? Did the Marquis die? Or did my father die?"
Shen Maofeng pointed at him angrily and said, "You! I knew you wished our Shen family bad luck. How dare you say that the Marquis is dead."
Shen Wen said: "Well, then it is not the Marquis who is dead. Since it is not the Marquis who is dead, there is no need for an insignificant person like me to bother you and stand in front of you to make you dislike me."
Shen Maofeng was furious and said, "Asshole, your sister-in-law is dead because you made her angry to death! Let me ask you, did you kill your sister-in-law's brothers Wu Tianci and Liu Jizong?"
Shen Wen said, "Are you still asleep this morning? There are people with the surname Wu and Liu, what does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with your wife? Isn't her surname Huang? You call the Huang brother-in-law, so why do you call anyone with any surname in the world your brother-in-law? How come I don't know that since when have all the people with any surname in the world become your brother-in-law?"
Shen Maofeng became even angrier. He held back for a long time before saying something cruel: "Don't be complacent. Both the Wu and Liu families have lost sons. They will soon ask you to pay for their lives."
Shen Wen slowly approached Shen Maofeng, almost face to face with him, and then suddenly stretched out his hand to push him away and said, "Put on your sackcloth and go to mourn! Your wife is dead, and you don't even have a good time to mourn. Be careful that your wife will come to take your soul away at night and take you to the underworld together."
Shen Maofeng was pushed backwards. If his servant hadn't caught him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Shen Maofeng said to the servants around him: "What are you waiting for? Tie him up for me."
Jin Sheng immediately protected Shen Wen behind him and said to the people who surrounded him, "Who dares? I will kill one of you if you come."
The two sides were at war with each other.
At this moment, the second master Shen Qingyun came slowly from behind and said, "Shen Wen! Why don't you just stop?"
The servants made way for Shen Qingyun. Shen Qingyun looked at Shen Wen coldly and said, "So many guests came to your ninth sister-in-law's funeral at once. Do you want the entire Shen family to become a laughing stock in the capital?"
Guan Yonghuan stuck close to Shen Wen, and he couldn't help but complain: "I thought an old man came who could speak human language, but I didn't expect him to be even more confused."
Shen Qingyun pretended not to hear. He also looked down on Guan Yonghuan for being obedient to Shen Wen.
Shen Qingyun said: "Come with me to the mourning hall, and burn some incense for your ninth sister-in-law first."
After he said this, the thugs and servants that Shen Maofeng had called stopped surrounding Shen Wen.
Shen Wen followed Shen Qingyun smoothly into the Shen family's gate, and followed him to Huang Yulian's mourning hall.
Huang Yulian's maid Shi Hua, dressed in white mourning clothes and with a white flower on her head, came over to greet Shen Wen and thank him for his condolences.
Behind her, there was actually another maid following.
"You? Shiqin?"
Shen Wen said in surprise.
This Shiqin had caused a big disturbance in his Linchao Residence and was driven out by the old marquis's wife. But now she swaggered back to the marquis's mansion to attend the funeral of her grandmother.
Shiqin looked at Shen Wen meaningfully, knelt down and bowed to him, saying, "As I said, the Seventeenth Young Master still cares about both the Shen and Huang families. Since the Young Master is here, please burn incense and kowtow to my young lady."
After saying that, Shi Hua, who was already holding three incense sticks in her hand, immediately handed the incense to Shen Wen and said expressionlessly, "Sir, please kneel down. Since you want to apologize, start from the door and keep knocking in front of the spirit tablet to show your sincerity."
Shen Wen blinked his eyes, looked at the group of people around him who were not kind to him, smiled and nodded, "What's this? Are you trying to put the blame on me?"
Master Shen came out and said, "Don't talk about your own reasons. Your ninth sister-in-law died so quickly, and her two brothers died because of you. This is not just our family saying this. The in-laws also have solid evidence. We are doing this for your own good so that you won't suffer more later."
Shiqin and Shihua were looking forward to the moment when Shen Wen died, and there was a malicious irony in their eyes when they looked at Shen Wen.
Shen Wen's eyelids twitched as he watched. He cleared his throat and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu really forgot about the two good maids! Unlike me, I don't have my own maids."
She asked Shiqin and Shihua, "Do you know the girl Zhinuan who followed me before? Do you remember?"
Shiqin and Shihua nodded. Shiqin said, "Why don't you remember? Now I feel sorry for Oh Ah. If she hadn't followed the wrong master, she wouldn't have been killed at such a young age."
Shen Wen said, "Alas! She didn't follow the wrong master, because I am not her master. She! Her real master lent her to me for two days. How could you forget? When she attacked you, she never considered the consequences."
Then Shen Wen seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Guan Yonghuan and Jin Sheng beside him, "Has her master come? It's impossible for him not to come after such a slap in the face."
Guan Yonghuan said disdainfully: "That Tu guy is always like this, he thinks before doing anything, and never acts impulsively like us Jianghu people."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the door said, "You? Is that what you call acting on impulse? You're just a reckless man."
When Guan Yonghuan heard this, he got so angry that the corners of his mouth curled up and he turned his head away.
As soon as that person started speaking, everyone in the mourning hall looked towards the door.
But before that person arrived, a man with a bruised face and dirty body was thrown in.
The man fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.
Everyone took a closer look and exclaimed, "Nine...Nine Young Master?"
The master was startled and hurried to help his son.
Shen Maofeng said with a swollen face: "Dad! Our mansion was attacked. None of the hundreds of servants could match them. The group of colleagues and friends from the military department arranged outside the mansion were also controlled by them."
The master was surprised again.
The man who spoke earlier walked in.
The man was wearing a black cloak and a Hades mask on his face. He exuded an intimidating aura, as if the god of death from hell had walked on fire.
When Guan Yonghuan saw the man's appearance, he snorted.
The second master stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who this is? Why did you hurt my child? Are you here to provoke my Shen family?"
The man didn't even want to pay attention to him. Instead, he crossed his arms and said, "Master Guan! I didn't expect you to come out. What's the matter? Is Mr. Zhong from your Zhong's Manor back?"
The elder master sounded very familiar, and couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Guan? Which Uncle Guan? I seem to have heard of him somewhere."
Guan Yonghuan replied very enthusiastically: "Guan Yonghuan! This is my old man's name. The eldest son of the Shen family! When you were a kid, you helped me carry someone up to the city gate tower. It seems that your memory is not as good as mine."
When Master Shen was reminded of this, his whole body froze, his mind immersed in what Guan Yonghuan said, unable to get out of it.
Master Shen Er was frightened by his behavior, and quickly pulled Master Shen Da to wake him up.
Master Shen stared at Guan Yonghuan in horror.
Second Master Shen whispered in First Master Shen's ear: "I don't know which Zhong's manor he is talking about. If it's the one in the north of the city, it will be troublesome."
Guan Yonghuan had sharp ears and immediately said, "What a coincidence, it's the Zhong's Manor in the north of the city."
The masked man spoke up at this time: "I say you two are really ignorant. After all, is it the Zhong Family Manor that is powerful? It's not the people around him who are powerful. You are a bunch of blind people. You don't even know the former Demon Sect's young master, the world's number one head coach, Master Guan. Isn't Guan Yonghuan the Master Guan who taught seven invincible generals?"
When everyone heard what he said, they were instantly shocked.
Guan Yonghuan waved his hand and said, "Don't! Don't mention those seven idiots to me. What's the use of teaching them? Didn't they still kill each other and die? That's a joke!"
Guan Yonghuan felt that this was not a good word for him, he smacked his lips and said, "I said you are getting worse and worse! Since you have revealed all my dirty laundry, I won't be polite either! I just look down on the behavior of the head of your Sanjianzhai. His maid was killed, but he didn't come to avenge himself, but asked you, the Iron King of Hell, to run errands. What? Have you really become an errand boy?"
Guan Yonghuan turned around and said to Master Shen, "Shen's eldest son? You have forgotten my name, Master Guan. You must have heard of Li Suanzi from the three houses. His family only deals in confiscating property and exterminating clans. Li Suanzi is even more evil! His ability to kill people is comparable to that of a division of the imperial court. Fortunately, your family does not have private soldiers, otherwise he would have wiped out your entire family long ago."
The eldest and second masters were really frightened this time and both collapsed to the ground.
