Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 424 Su Yunjin: My husband, you are back!

Drive, drive, drive...

Riding a horse along the long street, Chen Jiusi was eager to return home.

Chen Jie was exhausted all the way here and stayed on the road for half a day, mainly to inspect the growth of crops in Huangzhou Prefecture.

By the way, check on your own water storage projects to see how the responsible persons in various places are doing.

After Chen Jie's inspection, he was very satisfied with the result. He felt that the work on the village's reservoir had been done very well, without any cutting corners or corruption.

In order to prevent local officials from corruption, Chen Jie took drastic measures. He specially found a supervisory inspection place and formed an inspection team to check whether there was anyone causing trouble.

The results are very encouraging, and it seems that the inspection team was quite successful.

Of course, this is also related to the supervisor of the inspection team. The supervisor of the inspection team is an old acquaintance. Yes, it is none other than Chen Jie’s martial arts enlightener, Chen Jie’s good brother, Bai Wenjing’s grandson, Wu Hong.

It was not easy to recruit this one of the Thirteen Guardians of Mianshui. After all, Wu Hong was loyal to the emperor and served the country and the people. He was too upright. He was unwilling to betray the court and go against Chen Jie.

However, Chen Jie would not let his elder brother go, so Chen Jie first activated Wu Hong's mentor, Zhang Liye, the captain of the police and one of the Thirteen Guardians of Mianshui of the older generation.

After Zhang Liye was promoted from Mianshui County to Huangzhou Prefecture, he thought he would be able to rise to prominence. However, people here were very strict with seniority and especially valued bloodline. How much could a Han Chinese constable like him achieve? His ability was also average.

So I was left out in the cold and felt frustrated.

After Chen Jie recaptured Huangzhou Prefecture, he found that he did not have enough talent. When he checked the list of officials in office in Huangzhou Prefecture, he saw the name Zhang Liye.

Chen Jie became concerned. He thought that Zhang Liye knew him and would come to him through the back door so that he could arrange a good position for him. However, he never expected that Zhang Liye was as stubborn as Wu Hong.

He didn't come to see me for two whole years.

Last time, when Chen Jie came back from Longxing Prefecture and later annexed Xianning Prefecture, he found that he was short of manpower. After much thought, Chen Jie finally found Zhang Liye, Master Zhang.

He was appointed as the patrol officer, in charge of local public security and commanding all the fishing gangs' security forces.

As a result, Zhang Liye was still unwilling, thinking that as an official, how could he rule the fishing gang? Wouldn't this bring chaos to the underworld?

But Chen Jie said to him, if a thief is big enough, he will be an official. There has never been a constant royal power since ancient times. It is nothing more than the law of the jungle.

After hearing this, Zhang Liye remained silent for a long time. Finally, he agreed to Chen Jie's appointment as the local sheriff. He became a high-ranking judicial official in charge of tens of thousands of security personnel in six prefectures, something he had never dared to dream of before.

At that time, Chen Jie still needed an upright and honest person who had a close relationship with him to be the inspector who would be responsible for inspecting the local area and uncovering corruption, but such a person was not easy to find.

In the end, it was Su Yunjin who reminded himself.

There has always been an elder brother who has ignored me, yes, it's Wu Hong.

Chen Jie immediately asked Zhang Liye to come and help persuade Wu Hong, and Bai Wenjing and Uncle Wu from Wuzhong in Xiantao Village also helped to persuade him.

Wu Hong came to Chen Jie's residence. When he saw Chen Jie, whom he hadn't seen for a year or two, he was really shocked. At that time, Chen Jie's strength had reached the dragon level, which was an existence that Wu Hong, who had the strength of Hua Jin at that time, could not see through at all.

At the same time, he also understood that the gap between him and Chen Jie might be much greater than he imagined.

This made him feel much more restrained, but he soon felt Chen Jie's enthusiasm. Chen Jie did not look down on Wu Hong at all and still called him "Brother Wu".

You must know that although Chen Jie had not yet officially sworn brotherhood with Peng Yingyu and others at that time, the relationship between Chen Jie and Peng Yingyu still spread to Mianshui County, letting Wu Hong know that Chen Jie's elder brother was Peng Yingyu, the actual controller of Hubei Road.

And now he still recognizes him as his elder brother, which makes Wu Hong very grateful. During the meal, Chen Jie took the initiative to talk about the past events, emphasizing that Chen Jie first learned martial arts, Taizu Changquan, from Wu Hong.

If Wu Hong had not taught him Taizu Changquan and helped him to get started in martial arts, he would not have the opportunities he has today. This was all Wu Hong's help to him.

Wu Hong said, "It's just a piece of cake."

Chen Jie said: "This is just a piece of cake for Brother Wu, but for me, it is an enlightenment. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are my enlightenment mentor."

Wu Hong felt warmed by Chen Jie's words, and he followed Chen Jie's advice and expressed his wish to lead the people of Huangzhou Prefecture towards a better future, a life where everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear.

Wu Hong was attracted by Chen Jie's great vision and agreed to join Chen Jie's team. Chen Jie was very touched and said, "With your help, I can rest assured. You don't need anything else, just help me keep an eye on our internal affairs and make sure there is no corruption."

Wu Hong clasped his fists and said, "My lord, rest assured. Wu Hong will definitely fulfill your mission."

Lord is the name given to Chen Jie by his subordinates in Huangzhou Prefecture. Wu Hong actually took the initiative to call Jie the Lord, which was a clear sign of his surrender. Chen Jie was not stupid, so he naturally went along with it and appeased Wu Hong.

Before leaving, he gave Wu Hong a good set of skills and a pill that could help him break through to the Wolf Smoke Realm.

In this way, Chen Jie let Wu Hong select personnel from various departments and then form his inspection team.

This is obviously a job that will offend people, and it won't be good whether you do it in a tactful or tough way. Wu Hong is a man of upright character, but he is not pedantic and he knows his limits.

The most important thing is that he is a die-hard supporter of Chen Jie and is considered to be from the Xiantao Village faction.

You should know that there are relatively obvious factions within Chen Jie's Huangzhou Prefecture government. The most noble of them is the Xiantao Village faction, also known as the clan faction. This faction is the strongest, and its core figure is Chen Xiaohu, who is Chen Jie's most trusted brother.

Secondly, there is Bai Wenjing's family. Even if Su Yunjin is counted, they should be considered the relatives. Even Chen Jie himself can be considered the relatives. This group of people is the most loyal to Chen Jie.

Then there are the Mianshui County faction and the Huangzhou Prefecture faction. These two factions have the largest number of people and are represented by all parts. The Mianshui County faction includes Zhou Chu, Sixi, Bai Mosheng and others.

The Huangzhou Prefecture faction consists of Jin Yanzi and other subordinates who were recaptured by Chen Jie after he occupied Huangzhou Prefecture.

These subordinates also secretly fight for power and protect each other, which is something Chen Jie cannot solve at this stage. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are human relationships.

These forces are so intertwined that it is not easy to find one that can keep the situation under control.

Especially the inspector who supervises all officials. He is the official in charge of officials. This person is very important. No matter whether he is selected from the Mianshui faction or the Huangzhou faction, the opposing faction will definitely not cooperate.

When the time comes, the tit-for-tat confrontation will consume the power of his Huangzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, they can only elect from the family faction, and among this family faction, Su Yunjin is the queen and cannot be eliminated easily. Bai Wenjing is too old and Wu Zhong is not capable enough.

Chen Xiaohu is suitable, but he is Chen Jie's representative in the army and currently the number one person in the military. It would not be good if he was eliminated.

After choosing and choosing, Wu Hong is the only one who is suitable.

After all, Wu Hong is a die-hard clan member, and Huangzhou Prefecture is not in collusion with any forces at present. His source of power is Chen Jiusi.

In the officialdom, this person is a loyal minister, and such a person is the best choice for an inspector.

Moreover, as a relative, he also has enough influence within the Huangzhou Prefecture system and said that he did not know the relationship between Chen Jie and Bai Wenjing's family.

Because of this, Chen Jie chose Wu Hong as the inspector, and the effect was very good. His upright character, coupled with Chen Jie's support, allowed him to realize his ambitions to the fullest extent.

In addition, Chen Jie was very strict in selecting officials for Huangzhou Prefecture, which made the administration of Huangzhou Prefecture very clean.

Moreover, Chen Jie believed that once the talents trained by Chen Jie's several major colleges arrived in place one after another, and were transferred to the local areas, starting from village heads and baozheng, he would be able to slowly take control of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture in his hands and make it completely his own.

Chen Jie rode his horse forward all the way, and finally after passing Qianjiang Prefecture, he returned to Huangzhou Prefecture, which he had missed every day.

As soon as Chen Jie returned to Huangzhou Prefecture, he was recognized by local officials and reported to higher authorities.

Officials from all over the country requested to see Chen Jie and report on their work. Chen Jie then directly ordered that they were not available today, and that a meeting would be held at the Huangzhou Prefecture government office the day after tomorrow. At that time, all the top leaders in Huangzhou Prefecture had to come to see Chen Jie.

Chen Jie also said that after the conference, he would conduct on-site inspections and visits to various departments!

After saying this, Chen Jie went straight to his mansion.

After a life-threatening journey, Chen Jie doesn't want to deal with all kinds of government affairs as soon as he comes back, as he has two wives to pamper!

Chen Mansion!

"lady!"

Su Yunjin and Huang Wan'er, who were leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard, saw Chen Chun, the Chen residence's chief steward, running in hurriedly with an unconcealable joy on his face.

Su Yunjin's face was not flushed at this time. She was lacking in energy and blood and looked a little lazy.

Huang Wan'er asked, "What's the matter that makes Manager Chen so anxious?"

After hearing this, Chen Chun immediately said, "I just got the news that the master is back."

"what!"

After hearing this, Su Yunjin, who had been lazy, sat up straight at once, her face full of joy. This time when she went to Guangmingding, she didn't know why her heart was always beating fast. Now that her husband was back, she was extremely excited.

The backyard, which had been a little quiet, also became cheerful after hearing these words.

Huang Wan'er asked, "Where is the person?"

Chen Chun said: "They are heading towards the palace now. They will arrive in about an incense stick of time."

Huang Wan'er looked at Su Yunjin and said after hearing this: "Yunjin, our husband is back. Let's go out and welcome him."

Su Yunjin nodded slightly, and followed Huang Wan'er's instructions and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare the food, and get some wine from the cellar. My husband likes to drink."

"The rest of you, keep an eye on the young master and the young lady, and the rest of you, help the lady and follow me to the door to greet the master."

After hearing this, Yin Hongmei and Du Juan stayed to take care of Chen Jie's two children.

The rest of the people, surrounded by Su Yunjin and Huang Wan'er, came directly to the gate of the mansion. At this time, at the gate of Chen's mansion, the women were waiting anxiously. Although Su Yunjin and Chen Jie were an old couple, they were also eager to see them.

Huang Wan'er was checking with Mudan beside her to see if there was any smudge on her makeup. At the same time, she asked Mudan mysteriously that her husband had mentioned last time that she should prepare something called stockings made of black gauze, as they might be useful tonight.

Mudan blushed when she heard this, she knew that the lady's thing was made by the best workers in the textile factory. This so-called silk stocking was made of the finest cloud silk and went through more than 30 processes before it was finally made successfully. The feel of it... not to mention men, she was a little addicted to it.

What's more, there is that elusive sense of flesh, which is really fascinating.

Thinking of this, Mudan said, "I'll find it for Madam in a moment."

Huang Wan'er was a little excited after hearing this. She was looking forward to wearing the new stockings and giving Chen Jie a different experience.

However, Huang Wan'er was excited and agitated, but she still said, "Don't prepare tonight."

Then she looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Wait until tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Mudan looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam Su is not feeling well. Madam shouldn't..."

"Shut up. You are not allowed to talk too much about the master's business."

"Ah, yes, I know I was wrong."

Mudan admitted her mistake immediately. In this family, Huang Wan'er and Su Yunjin actually appreciated, yielded to, and restrained each other, but these maids were comparing with each other in private.

Su Yunjin's maid, Yin Hongmei, is arrogant. Although Cui Ju has a sweet smile, she always wants to suppress Huang Wan'er's maid and support her mistress.

The two maids under Huang Wan'er have been competing openly and secretly with the two maids under Su Yunjin, trying to help their mistress and gain more favor from the master.

However, Huang Wan'er knew that no matter how much she achieved in her life, she could never compare to Su Yunjin's position in Chen Jie's heart.

So she compromised and stopped arguing.

And Su Yunjin is indeed the material to be the mistress of the house. She has never been spoiled or jealous. On the contrary, she takes good care of Huang Wan'er, which has created the current harmony in the backyard.

A few people were thinking about it when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and then they saw a horse approaching on the street.

Suddenly everyone looked at the horse, and saw a man coming in, covered in dust. At this moment, he met Su Yunjin's eyes on the stairs.

The two looked at each other, and their emotions surged up in an instant. Everyone was silent, looking at the two looking at each other, as if they could feel the spark of love in the air. For a moment, no one dared to interrupt.

At this time, Chen Jie got off the horse and ran straight to Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin also came down the stairs and walked towards Chen Jie. The two of them met each other at the bottom of the stairs and held hands.

After a long silence, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, you are back."

At this time, Chen Jie held Su Yunjin's hand, looked at her pale face as she had just recovered from a serious illness, and reached out to pass a trace of the life force of Changchun Gong. Last time, Chen Jie only had the strength of the Furnace Realm, and the life force could not replenish Su Yunjin's qi and blood.

But now, as long as Chen Jie is willing to put in some effort, he can make Su Yunjin healthier.

However, this would take time, and it was obviously not appropriate with so many people around now. Su Yunjin also reacted at this time, let go of Chen Jie's hand, and made half a space for him.

Chen Jie also looked at Huang Wan'er at this time. Although Huang Wan'er was not noticed by Chen Jie at the first time, she still had a smile on her face. The women of this era are not as possessive as the women of the past.

Or maybe it was the feudal ethics of that era that taught women that men cannot belong to them alone.

In the whole society, capable men have three wives and four concubines, so they didn’t find it that hard to accept.

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, I'm back."

Huang Wan'er glanced at Chen Jie and said shyly, "You still know me? When I saw you and Yun Jin just now, your eyes almost melted!"

Chen Jie laughed after hearing this and said, “Yeah, the way I look at you makes me want to eat you up!”

Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie's restless eyes and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes when she heard the words. She could see that Chen Jie wanted to strip her naked and eat her, and her heart was also warmed.

But in front of so many people, Huang Wan'er said: "Eat, eat, I know you are hungry, the family has prepared food."

Chen Jie smiled when she heard this. She knew Huang Wan'er understood, and Huang Wan'er also knew what she said. Chen Jie understood. At this time, Chen Jie said, "I've been traveling all the way, and I'm really hungry."

"Come on, let's go into the courtyard. By the way, where are Li'er and Yining?"

Chen Jie asked Huang Wan'er directly, and Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "In the courtyard."

Surrounded by a group of people, Chen Jie walked into the yard. As for the horse that Chen Jie rode back, it had already been properly handled by the housekeepers.

After entering the yard, Chen Jie came to the backyard and saw his two children sleeping in the sun. With a smile on his face, Chen Jie reached out and touched Chen Li's little head. At this time, the force of life passed through his brain and acted directly on Chen Li's little head. The little guy immediately felt comfortable all over.

A comfortable expression appeared on the chubby little face. Chen Jie smiled and pinched his little face, then turned to look at his eldest daughter, Xiao Yining, on the other side.

At this time, the little girl was sleeping very comfortably, she didn't even have any sleeping posture, just lying on her back with her legs spread out. Chen Jie still passed a trace of life force into her body, which could form a protection within their bodies.

Keeping them immune to all diseases can avoid the trouble of getting sick in infancy.

For example, if you are blown by the wind now, you may easily catch a cold.

Chen Jie walked slowly to the back hall. At this time, Su Yunjin and the others had also arrived. Chen Jie sat there, and Huang Wan'er asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

The Chen Mansion now has a very powerful kitchen, with chefs from all over the country. They have sour, sweet, bitter, and salty dishes to satisfy the tastes of all the owners.

Chen Jie is very rich now, so there is no need to be hard on himself when it comes to food, clothing and other expenses.

He wanted to be an emperor, not a saint who was detached from the world. There was no need for him to eat coarse food like the common people and leave his family members hungry. That was not the life Chen Jie wanted.

Soon, seven plates, eight dishes, and various dishes were all served.

These include crabs and other foods that Chen Jie likes to eat.

At this time, Su Yunjin sat on Chen Jie's left and took the crab pieces for Chen Jie to peel the crab.

Huang Wan'er sat on the right and poured wine for Chen Jie. A glass of wine and a crab, Chen Jie hugged her on both sides, enjoying the joy of family.

After eating and drinking, Chen Jie wanted to take a shower and needed someone to wipe his back.

This is obviously a very ambiguous job.

Seeing this, Su Yunjin immediately coughed softly and said, "Husband, I'm not feeling well and can't stand the moisture, so I won't accompany you to take a bath. Let Sister Huang help you."

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, only to see her take a step back and cough deliberately.

How could Chen Jie not know her little thoughts? However, considering her health, Chen Jie did not expose her. He looked at her and said, "Well, forget it if you are not feeling well. Wan'er, please accompany me."

Huang Wan'er looked at Su Yunjin and smiled, "Okay, then my husband goes first, I'll be here soon."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

Seeing Huang Wan'er like this, Chen Jie ignored her. Su Yunjin said, "Husband, I have asked someone to boil water. I will go find a set of clean clothes for you."

Having said that, he stepped back.

On the way, they met Huang Wan'er, who looked at Su Yunjin and said, "You gave your husband to me again?"

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "I'm not feeling well."

Huang Wan'er said, "You, you are always obsessed with others. It is impossible for a man like your husband to have only two women like us. If there are more women in the future, you will suffer."

Su Yunjin smiled gently and said, "As long as my husband is happy, I'm fine with anything."

Huang Wan'er took Su Yunjin's hand and said, "No wonder your husband likes you. With your personality, even if I were a man, I would love you to death."

Su Yunjin was a little embarrassed by Huang Wan'er's words and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, sister?"

Huang Wan'er laughed twice, and then whispered in Su Yunjin's ear: "Lend me your husband for a while, and I'll return him to you in the evening."

"Ah~"

Su Yunjin looked at Huang Wan'er in surprise, but Huang Wan'er had already walked away.

In the warm and humid room, Chen Jie sat in the bathtub. The bathtub was designed by Chen Jie. Groundwater was heated and gathered in the pool. Water was flowing at the same time, creating an artificial hot spring.

Chen Jie was sitting in the pool with a towel draped over his body. The whole room was filled with steam. The little girls were playing outside. Red-hot stones were added to the pool to keep the water warm and to generate steam in the house, thus ensuring the indoor temperature and humidity.

Chen Jie sat there with a fruit plate beside him, which contained fresh lychees and grapes, as well as brewed tea.

Chen Jie ate grapes, drank some tea, and lay comfortably in the pool with a towel covering his face. He was about to fall asleep in a daze. At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly felt someone coming to his head.

Then a charming and seductive voice sounded: "Husband, let me rub your back."

As Chen Jie was talking, he felt the towel on his face being taken away. At the same time, Chen Jie saw a pair of beautiful legs, which were covered with black stockings. The workmanship was exquisite, and the flesh was hidden and revealed...
