Humane Yongchang

Chapter 117 (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Pass)
Inside the door of Chen's house.

The ten yamen soldiers in soapy clothes held their knives and confronted the eight Youzhou army veterans with sullen faces.

Everyone's left hands were pressed against the hilt of the waist knife.

The strong smell of gunpowder permeates the door.

"The eldest son, don't embarrass the subordinate officials, or go to the county office with the subordinate officials."

The green-robed clerk who led the team stood on the steps behind the yamen in the soap-clothed yamen, and smiled at Chen Sheng with a smile on his face.

"It's not that I'm embarrassing you, it's that you're embarrassing me. I told you all that my father went out to visit friends and didn't return, and there is no family owner at home. You have to take me to the county office... What's the matter, I am a businessman in the Chen family. Violating the king's law? Are you still sitting happily?"

Chen Sheng stood behind a group of Youzhou army veterans, looked at the green-robed officer who was talking, and watched him verbally say don't make trouble for him, but there was no turbulence in his eyes, and he even carried a condescending expression. Looking down.

Looking at the most powerful yamen in front of him, who are only five-level forging bones, and seeing their majestic yamen holding knives and necks in confrontation with the old soldiers and uncles of the Youzhou Army, they refused to give in an inch. It looks like a rooster with feathers standing upright.

He wanted to laugh.

The little official in the green robe said, "Before leaving, Mr. Liu specially explained that if the head of your family is not there, you must invite the eldest son to go there... the eldest son should not delay, the lords in the county are still waiting for the eldest son!"

After he finished speaking, he turned sideways towards the door and made a "please" gesture, with an indisputable appearance, as if he had settled for Chen Sheng.

Yes, after all, they are here on behalf of the lords of the county government!
You are a businessman in the Chen family, but can you surpass a county government?

Chen Sheng stood on the spot with his arms folded, slightly tilted his head to look at the green-robed little official, his astonished eyes seemed to be looking at some savage pen!

He didn't make a sound, and the many Youzhou Army veterans standing in front of him also stood in front of him motionless.

"Get off!"

After waiting for a few breaths, the yamen saw that they still didn't move, and finally someone let go of the sword impatiently, and stretched out his hand to push the old soldier of Youzhou in front of him.

It seems that he wants to push him away and force Chen Sheng away.

"Keng."

With the piercing sound of the long knife being unsheathed, one arm flew high in the red blood.

The green-robed clerk and many yamen suddenly widened their eyes, all stunned by this scene!
He he he he he he... how dare he!

We are county officials!
"what……"

The yamen was splattered with his own blood, and he suddenly woke up. He let out a howl, and his voice was so high that it seemed like he was about to overturn the roof of the Chen family compound.

The old soldier of Youzhou Army who wielded the knife just waved the blood bead on the knife without any change in his expression.

The rest of the Youzhou Army veterans still had that half-dead, dumb expression, as if they didn't even blink their eyelids!
Seeing this, many yamen officers drew their swords in uncontrollable rage and stepped forward.

In an instant, all the Youzhou Army veterans raised their eyelids and looked at the eight or nine yamen with a look as if they were dead.

Just one look!
The many yamen who were furious just a second ago have lost their courage!

I took out half of the waist knife, but I didn't dare to pull it out again.

"Stop, stop!"

The green-robed clerk let out a tingling exclamation, and many yamen who were in a dilemma all breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation to pull out half of the waist knife and put it back into the scabbard.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile and bowed to Chen Sheng again, and said humbly: "Eldest son, it is the decision of all the adults in the county to ask you to go to the county office. Killing the subordinates won't help..."

"Shut him up!"

Chen Sheng scratched his ears impatiently, and violently interrupted the green-robed clerk.

The old soldier from Youzhou, who had not yet retracted his sword, stepped forward immediately, and pierced the yamen's throat with a precise knife, and the blade came out through his body.

The heart-piercing wailing came to an abrupt end!

Seeing this, the green-robed clerk and many yamen shivered suddenly, and they all froze in place.

Don't dare to speak again.

Don't dare to take any more action.

They... dare!
Chen Sheng put down the fingers that blocked his ears, and let out a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and then said with a hearty smile: "Killing you all will naturally not help me, but it will not help you either. Is your life so irrelevant?"

"People ask you to come to die, but you are so foolish to come to die? Others grow their brains to think, do you grow their brains to show their height?"

The little official in the green robe suddenly realized, and Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng hurriedly slammed it to the end again: "It's the official who has offended the eldest son, thank the eldest son for your kindness, and after the lower official returns to the county office, he will report back to the lords, the eldest son's body. If you are sick, you can’t go to the county office to discuss matters. This person is in a proper way, and the subordinate officials will push him to the top of the chaos of the refugees, and will never involve the eldest son… The subordinate officials will retire, and the eldest son will stay.”

After speaking, he waved at the corpse on the ground and turned to leave.

"It's not stupid now..."

Chen Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "But don't you think it's too late to see the form now?"

At the right time, many of the guys from the Chen family caravan who came to hear the news crowded outside the gate of the Chen family compound with swords, spears, swords and halberds, and happened to block their way.

As soon as they saw the blood, the crowd instantly exploded!

"Why is there blood?"

"Dog thief, how dare you come to the Chen family to be arrogant!"

"Dalang, are you okay?"

"What nonsense, hack them to death and talk about it!"

The crowd was boiling and surging, holding swords, spears, swords and halberds and rushing towards the green-robed officials and many yamen standing inside the gate.

The little official in the green robe was startled, and hurriedly retreated to the many yamen servants, shouting hoarsely: "Eldest son Mingjian, the subordinates do not dare to have any unfavorable intentions against the eldest son!"

Chen Sheng raised his hand, indicating that he was fine.

When the uncles and uncles of the Chen family who poured in saw this, they gradually calmed down.

Chen Sheng smiled again and waved at the green-robed little official who was shivering in hiding among the yamen.

Seeing this, the terrified green-robed clerk's face turned even paler.

But in the current situation, he can only pretend to be courageous, force a smile on his face, bow his waist and squeeze out of the crowd of yamen who are standing back to back, holding the waist knife tightly, but no one dares to pull out the knife, and walk away. In front of Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng hooked him by the neck, pulled him in front of him, and whispered in his ear.

The green-robed clerk shook his head from time to time, and responded in a low voice from time to time.

After a long while, Chen Shengcai let go of the stiff green-robed clerk, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "How should I report it after I go back? I don't need to teach you again? Don't doubt, it's against all the adults in the county. Courage, my business Chen family definitely doesn’t have it, but the courage to kill your whole family, my business Chen family not only has it, but it’s also very big!”

"Running errands for the people above, but killing my whole family... This is inappropriate, right?"

The green-robed official hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable, it's extremely inappropriate!"

Chen Sheng smiled, and then said calmly: "As the old saying goes, there are many friends and there are many paths, adults may wish to make friends with my merchant Chen family, if there is any trend in the county, secretly inform my merchant Chen family, you Don't worry, what the adults in the county can give you, my merchant Chen family can double it for you!"

The green-robed little official smiled stiffly and nodded again and again: "A person who is a low-level official should not be honored as the eldest son... The eldest son is at ease, and the subordinates know the importance!"

Chen Sheng patted his shoulder again, and by pushing his stall, he skillfully and quietly stuffed his purse into his sleeve: "Then the lord, go back to the county government to return to life, it won't be far away!"

The little official in the green robe didn't seem to notice his movements, but the smile on his face became more sincere and warm, "Eldest son, stop, stop... What are you doing? Why don't you bring this invisible thing back to the yamen? !"

A group of sweaty yamen heard the words, but still no one dared to move.

Many uncles and uncles of the Chen family who were still holding swords, swords, swords and halberds surrounded these yamen, all looked at Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng nodded.

Only then did the uncles put down the swords, spears, swords and halberds in their hands, and with a gloomy expression on their faces, they moved out of the way, and watched a group of two warring yamen trot out of the Chen family compound as if they were carrying their corpses and fleeing!

Chen Sheng watched their backs disappear outside the gate of Chen's house, and the smile on his face also disappeared little by little.

……

After half an hour.

Chen Hu walked quickly into the Chen family hall, and saw Chen Sheng sitting crookedly in the hall, with his right hand holding his chin, and his index finger slowly tapping his cheek.

Seeing Chen Hu coming in, Chen Shengcai sat upright and said with a chuckle, "I'm back, has Uncle Thirteen made the arrangements?"

Chen Hu nodded solemnly: "Okay, after nightfall, he will mobilize two hundred fierce tigers to enter Changning Square... How can you still laugh?"

"if not?"

Chen Sheng smiled and curled his lips, "You can't cry, can you?"

Chen Hu anxiously wandered around the hall twice, then sighed heavily, sat down on the chair next to him, and said, "Otherwise, our family will go out of the city tonight. Look, there are still No. 160 gentlemen in the city, plus the 200 people of the old thirteen, it is enough to deal with the gang of useless woods guarding the city gate!"

Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he heard it, stood up and smiled, "Why do you have this idea?"

Chen Hu glanced at him angrily and sighed: "People like us, the county government usually doesn't come to be hard, this time they come, it means that this matter is not just a few words or something. Money can solve it... What kind of eyes do you have?"

Chen Shengzheng looked at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think what you said is very reasonable."

He felt that he might still despise these uncles in the family.

They may not be smart enough, but as the so-called Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, as native Chen County people, they are naturally more sensitive to the changes in the county government's attitude than he, a traveler!
At first, he was indeed very puzzled, unable to figure out the meaning of this move by the county government, what exactly was it!
Let's say it's a test.

The initial attitude of the green-robed official was clearly that he must be taken to the county government office today.

But it's not a test.

Chen Sheng didn't believe that the adults in the county government office would be so stupid that they thought they could force Chen Sheng out of Changning Square with only a dozen or so servants!

Later, he figured out that the county government's move was clearly expressing an attitude - an attitude that this matter is not negotiable!

Later, the information he got from the green-robed clerk also confirmed his guess—the county government did not invite him, the head of the Chen family, to go to the county government alone.

In addition to their merchant Chen family, there are several other famous families in Chen County.

The only thing these big clans have in common with the merchant Chen family is that they are all based on martial arts!

In addition to this, there is another point that makes Chen Sheng very interested.

That is, there is no Wangjiazhuang's name in the list of big clans that the county government "invites" to go to the county government for a meeting!
This is very interesting!
Among the aristocratic families in Chen County.

The dissertation should be headed by the county Wang Li, the man of the Li family. There are "county officials" who are officials in the Luoyi court, and "current officials" who are officials in the prefecture and county government. "The decision is no exaggeration!
On Wu Ze should be headed by Wangjiazhuang, Wangjiazhuang people Ding Xingwang, bow and horse heirlooms, wealthy and powerful, and there are several village owners who have established commanderships in charge of [-] county soldiers, and their military force is stable in Chen County. The leader of the clan!
"Please" them.

But did not "invite" Wangjiazhuang?

There are only two possibilities.

The first is that Wangjiazhuang and the county government have long been in the same camp.

The second is to pick the persimmons softly.

No matter what kind it is, it represents an extremely unfavorable signal: the county government is about to get serious!
……

When Chen Hu heard that Chen Sheng did not refute his point of view, he excitedly clapped his thighs and stood up and said, "Really? You also think what we said makes sense, right? Then let's make arrangements. As soon as it gets dark, our house will Just get out of town!"

"Don't get excited first, if you have something to say, say it slowly, say it slowly..."

Chen Sheng quickly walked over and pressed him back into the chair.

Chen Hu reluctantly returned to the chair, frowning: "Still slow? It will be dark if you slow down!"

Chen Sheng pulled a chair over to sit next to him, shook his head and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think, now around our house, there must be people from the county government watching us, once our family acts rashly, the county government will be extremely It is possible to kill our family... My nephew dares to bet with you that most of the county soldiers are definitely in the city!"

When Chen Hu heard this, he immediately collapsed onto the chair like a deflated ball: "Then tell me, what should our family do?"

"Two words!"

Chen Sheng raised two fingers: "Look, wait!"

Without waiting for Chen Hu to ask questions, he continued: "First, our family has the capital to go to the county government office, but the other ones don't. Let's see first, what will happen after they go to the county government office!"

"Second, count the time, my father and the others should come back... As long as the [-] elites under his command come back, no matter what the county government wants to do, our family will make no difference to him!"

Chen Hu thought for a while, then nodded in approval: "It's still more secure for you to do it!"

Chen Sheng leaned his back on the chair and said softly: "The most important thing right now is to protect our family's old and weak women and children, and beware of the county government dog jumping over the wall..."

He synthesized all the information at hand, considered it all, and finally came to a conclusion that was not very good.

Xiong Wan, I am afraid that he is preparing to clear the field... to welcome the Yellow Turban Army into Chen County!
