The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 126 It’s time to be beaten!

The fifteenth son of the Shen family was young and reckless. He relied on his family's wealth and looked down upon everyone. He didn't even know what his father meant, and directly asked someone to throw Shen Wen out of the house. But this time he was going to fall into a big trap, and even his father would suffer the consequences.

The fox ancestor who had been guarding the house had been listening for any noise. He found a few fearless men jumping into the house. He just roared with all his strength, and those ruffians were shocked out of the house.

Amidst everyone's exclamations, the old ancestor lightly jumped onto the window and looked around at the people outside. His eyes seemed to be icy cold, and his aura of oppression was even more terrifying than that of their old man.

Everyone retreated far away, only the young and inexperienced Fifteenth Young Master Shen Yuanfeng was still standing there. He wiped the sweat from his head and pointed at the ancestor and said, "It's a spirit... It's a spirit! That bastard Shen Wen actually raised such a ferocious monster. Come on! Quick! Everyone, come together and kill this monster right now."

Lin Bao laughed when he heard this and said, "Oh! Your brother is quite courageous, but he is a bit vicious. Fortunately, he is just a descendant of a noble family. If he was a general with great power, I am afraid that many people would die!"

Lin Bao's voice was special. The first person he recognized was the elder master Shen Pingjie who often came in and out of the palace. He pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered the origin of this arrogant fox. His head was dizzy! His back felt cold! He stopped his nephew before he was about to make a big mistake. He slapped Shen Yuanfeng on the back of his head and scolded him in a low voice: "You blind bastard, are you still drunk? You are talking nonsense. Do you know the status of this fox ancestor? Just based on what you said about the monster just now, even if you have ten heads, it is not enough for the emperor to take you to Caishikou to chop off."

Shen Qingyun also seemed to have thought of something, and he exclaimed "Big Brother".

Shen Yuanfeng turned around and asked his uncle in confusion: "Uncle, why did you hit me? It's just a white-haired beast, why are you afraid of it? I just don't like the cautious and suspicious nature of you scholars."

Shen Qingyun slapped him on the head again and scolded: "Shut up!" Then he kicked Shen Yuanfeng in the calf, knocking him to the ground and said: "Kneel down quickly!"

Then he ordered everyone, "What are you all standing there for? Kowtow to the ancestor!"

All the servants then knelt on the ground.

Shen Pingjie straightened his robes, then bowed solemnly and said, "Shen Pingjie greets the Grand Ancestor and Grand Protector of the Western Palace, the Grand Patriarch Tianguan."

Shen Pinggong was still standing there in a daze, wondering what the title of Taizu Taibao Laozu Tianguan was, and it seemed very familiar to him.

Then Lin Bao said, "Fortunately, Master Jijiu understands! Although my ancestor is a fox, he was awarded earlier than your Lord. Even if your Lord came, he would have to kowtow to my ancestor. Who said that my ancestor is a national treasure left by the late emperor and is an equal to the late emperor! The current emperor respects my ancestor as his grandfather. Anyone who has the honor of seeing the emperor must kowtow to the ancestor. Anyone who offends the ancestor, hehe! No one escapes punishment! Master Jijiu, do you think I lied? What should your young master do? I don't need to waste my words, right?"

When Shen Pinggong heard this, his whole body went limp and he knelt on the ground, his face looking pale.

It was the first time that Shen Yuanfeng heard that a white-haired beast had a powerful background. It sounded like he was in trouble. Did he have to bleed today?

Lin Bao looked at Divine Doctor Sun and said, "It won't be long before His Majesty the Emperor sends an order to order you, Divine Doctor, to serve Master Shen Shiqi at all times. Master Shen Shiqi is the old ancestor's favorite, and naturally the emperor's favorite as well. He must not be in danger of losing his life. If you can't do this, Divine Doctor, there will be one more wronged soul in this world."

Divine Doctor Sun did not dare to say more, he just bowed and said: "I understand, I promise that Mr. Shen Shiqi will definitely be saved."

They had just talked about this when they heard a trembling voice of a servant in the distance saying, "Master, something bad has happened. Someone has come from the palace, asking everyone in the Seventeenth Young Master's courtyard to receive the order!" The servant's voice was trembling, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of royal guards rushing in from behind, escorting a plump and wealthy eunuch.

The person who came was none other than the emperor's personal eunuch chief steward Guo Youliang. However, this person was extremely self-deprecating and showed weakness in his conduct. He only asked people to call him by his palace name "Guo Sheren".

Guo Sheren walked in front of everyone, first holding the imperial edict and bowing to the old ancestor, then turned around and said to the Shen family: "Your Majesty has an order, everyone in the Shen Guogong Mansion kneels to receive it."

Everyone kowtowed.

Sheren Guo read out, "I knew that the ancestor valued a son of the Shen family. But yesterday, eunuch Lin Bao reported that the ancestor and the young master of the Shen family were severely bullied in the Shen Mansion, and this royal family was very unhappy. The ancestor is a person that grandfather respects very much. Anyone who offends the ancestor is like offending the gods, which is a serious crime of the country. This decree is like my own. The seventeenth son of the Shen family, Shen Wen, can take this imperial scroll to act. Anyone who offends the emperor will be punished for conspiracy to rebel. I decree this."

After the decree was read, everyone in the Shen family gasped in fear. God is blind! It is so unfair that Shen Wen, a bastard, has such a blessing! It is so unfair!

But the following actions made these masters wail in pain.

Sheren Guo received the imperial edict and said to the Shen family, "From the day before yesterday until today, all the Shen family members who offended the Seventeenth Master Shen, Eunuch Lin Bao, have been written down one by one on the slips and reported to the Ministry of Punishment. We came here today with criminal law. Lord Shen Jijiu has offended. We will first implement the caning and then talk to Lord Jijiu about other matters. Come! Arrest the people according to the slips in our hands, and each person will be punished with thirty boards."

This thunderous order made everyone feel as if their internal organs were displaced and they were trembling uncontrollably!

The person on the note? Who is it?

There were so many people who provoked Shen Wen yesterday and the day before yesterday. Wouldn't everyone in the Shen family be punished?

The result was just as everyone expected. When I went to see Shen Wen the day before yesterday, almost everyone who was questioned by the Fourth Master and his wife was beaten, including the Second Master Shen’s wife, Nian, and even Hua (Lin Bao was very angry because he and the ancestor had been living in a shabby servant’s room because of Hua, so he sued Hua as well.)

The key is that they are wronged! Did they bully Shen Wen? They just asked about his affairs, what is bullying? Beating and scolding people is bullying, can they not do that?

After the execution, Sheren Guo sat down and chatted with Master Shen: "Master Shen is still in seclusion to recuperate?"

Shen Pingjie replied: "Yes, my father has developed this habit since last year. I specially submitted a memorial to the emperor, and the emperor even issued an oral instruction, saying that as long as my father is healthy and lives a long life, that's all."

Sheren Guo said, "Then we won't bother the Marquis. The Emperor has something to say to the Marquis. He said that when the Marquis was in his early years in politics, he loved to promote hardworking and ambitious children from poor families. This commoner in white clothes has a lower status than the Marquis's illegitimate son. The Marquis loves him as his own son, so why can't he tolerate his own illegitimate grandson? The Marquis should take good care of his own children and grandchildren, and don't let them down."

Mr. Shen immediately agreed, "Yes, I will definitely tell my father."

Guo Sheren finally said, "The old man should stay at your house. It finally has someone it wants to be considerate of, so it is naturally playful and nostalgic. You must be careful in front of it in the future. It is not a perverse and ignorant person. It is very insightful about what people hear."

Master Shen did not dare to neglect it and promised very cautiously, "I must be careful, I must be careful! Thank you Mr. Guo for reminding me."

Afterwards, Guo Sheren left with the royal guards.

After Master Shen saw Mr. Guo leave, a servant from the old marquis's courtyard came to call him and asked him to wait outside the gate of the Fifth Master's courtyard.

It turned out that the old marquis had already come out of seclusion and had asked people to keep an eye on what happened when Sheren Guo conveyed the imperial edict. He waited until Sheren Guo left, and then he took a sedan chair to the house of Shen Wen, the fifth roommate.

When the eldest master arrived at the door of the west wing, he saw the seventh master was also there. The old butler Uncle Jian conveyed the old marquis's words, asking the eldest master to wait here.

The old marquis was in the room at this time, standing at the door but unable to reach Shen Wen's bed. Naturally, the ancestor was blocking him from getting close to Shen Wen's bed.

Doctor Sun saw that the ancestor was arguing with the Marquis, so he smiled and said, "It is natural for the Marquis to want to see his grandson, but Young Master Shen Shiqi is really seriously injured. Although I have temporarily helped him through the danger, I cannot guarantee that he will not fall into danger again. At this critical moment, the ancestor has been protecting the law. The ancestor knows the danger best. You also know that the ancestor is not an ordinary spiritual being. It really has divine power. Since it does not ask you to visit it now, it has its reasons. I think the Marquis should go back today. I think you may be able to see it tomorrow."

Lord Shen thought about it and decided to do so. Before he left, he said to the ancestor, "Whether the ancestor believes it or not, Shen Wen is the descendant of the true bloodline of my Shen family. How can I not feel distressed when he gets hurt? As for the incident today that offended the ancestor, it was all because of my sons who were blind and stupid. I will go back and discipline them. I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future."

The old ancestor was lying on the ground alone, he just closed his eyes and fell asleep, not caring about what nonsense he had just said.

Doctor Sun politely escorted Lord Shen out.

Lord Shen took the eldest and seventh masters away. Before leaving the fifth room, he looked back at the upper room and said, "Butler, go tell your fifth master what I said. His son is dying. Please ask him to be a good father! This inhuman thing!"

The butler naturally heard the serious tone in Lord Shen's words. He did not dare to delay and immediately went to the fifth room to pass on the message.

Lord Shen returned to his room, sat on a chair, and sternly told the Seventh Master to kneel down.

Lord Shen asked: "Do you know what's wrong?"

The Seventh Master felt very aggrieved. He really didn't know what he had done wrong.
