Chapter 277: Confrontation (I)

In the early morning of midsummer, it was getting late.

The eastern suburbs are foggy and black, and there is still the sound of watchmen yawning and banging on the bangzi in the streets and alleys. Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The emperor did not go to the early dynasty, but the courtiers could not but appear.

As soon as the fifth watch passed, the Chen family's mansion was lit one after another from the outside, and the old Chen of the porter wore a shirt on his shoulders, holding a lantern in one hand, and took off the door bolt with the other hand to push the door outward.

Zhumen is heavy and old, the "crunch" rotten and obtuse soft sound slowly sounds, the quiet night is broken, followed by the lantern "bang" on the green brick floor, the oil lamp suddenly soared high, and then suddenly weakened.

"Ahh

"What did you say?"

Chen Xian stretched out his hand and motioned for Mrs. Chen to continue to arrange the court clothes for him.

Old Chen's hands trembled violently, and his speech trembled incoherently, "There are four or five in front of our house... There were four or five strong men... Covered in blood... Lie at our gate..."

As soon as Mrs. Chen's hand shook, the complement on Chen Xian's court uniform was tied crookedly.

"Is it four or five?"

Chen Xian's tone was very calm.

Old Chen's feet softened and shook his head violently.

"And are they alive or dead?"

Old Chen couldn't stand on his feet anymore, and his voice was crying, "Minion... Minion... The minions were so frightened that they couldn't stand still, where did they dare to gather and see! Covered in blood... I'm probably all dead..."

"There are a few people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to report to me. What do you want? ”

Chen Xian tilted his head. The manager knows the machine. Buried his head in the old Chen Tou outside, he didn't dare to relax under his feet, and trotted over from the second gate to the front of the house.

As soon as the person left, Chen Xian glanced down with his eyes, lowered his voice, and said softly, "Don't panic, you can't do anything if you panic." ”

Mrs. Chen's heart suddenly had mixed tastes.

Before. This person said the same thing, right?

Tell her not to panic, there will be everything, rice grain, bunchs put in the school, splendid silk, everything will be available.

At that time, the family was still in Wanzhou, the Chen family was dead, Ah Xian was the last remaining son of the grandson, and the uncle of the side line controlled the family's public grain, and only gave the grandson a consistent copper coin and twenty catties of rice grain every month. Five catties of pork, there is no more. Not to mention the road money and silver to support Ah Xian to go to Beijing to catch the exam. Ah Xian wanted to fight and insisted on going to Beijing to catch the exam, so she picked up the lamp and embroidered the picture screen overnight, and the large picture screen with fine workmanship on one side could be sold for four dollars of silver and two dollars for the small one. The oil lamp is expensive, the two of them light one, she threads the needle in the left case, Ah Xian works hard in the right case, and the shadows of the two people are cast on the small wooden case, and gradually coincide into one.

If you say it, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, the descendants of the Chen family in Wanzhou lived like this when they were young. She remembered that after Ah Xian entered the cabinet, she inadvertently asked those uncles in the old mansion in Wanzhou about their current lives, Ah Xian understated, "It's not bad, every month has always been copper money, twenty catties of rice grain, five catties of pork, we can all get by, why can't they live?" ”

Becoming a king or losing a villain, this truth is what Ah Xian has respected all his life.

Mrs. Chen's nose was sour and she almost burst into tears.

Now she has everything, cloud silk brocade, yellow rosewood, gold and jade, but why does she feel happier then than now?

Mrs. Chen took a deep breath and reached out to re-tie Chen Xian's tonic three times and two times, which she had been accustomed to doing for so many decades.

The manager came and went, but after a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Chen avoided the flowers.

“… All of them are the people we sent to monitor the Duanwang Mansion, and the five are all alive! In the middle of the night, they were thrown to the door of the mansion, but they were picked off and their tendons and tendons were broken, and they fainted all night in pain, and the slave asked them to wake them up with cold water, saying that they didn't see clearly who did it, but the means were neat and vicious... I'm afraid these five people are useless..."

"Alive?"

Chen Xian frowned and repeated, "The He clan actually let them live..."

The He clan is surrounded by Fang Qi's old troops, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and all the people in his army are vigilant against high-level poison, and it is normal for these pathfinders to be discovered by them.

It's just that he never thought that the He clan would dare to disrupt the balance and attack them...

Chen Xian's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Is it a demonstration?" She's pushing me to act? But why do you want to stay alive..."

The manager didn't dare to answer these words, buried his head low, and only listened to Chen Xian's words, "Where did the He family go yesterday?" ”

"Listening to the replies of those people, they were found on East Street, and if they go down that road, Princess Duan will go to the palace when she leaves the palace."

"I'm going to see my second child!?"

This was the answer that Chen Xian expected.

Since the He clan had already noticed these people, why didn't they all strangle them so that they could hide their whereabouts.

The He family asked these five people to be abolished, and sent these five people to the door of Chen's house, without sealing or follow-up, and letting them come back to tell the Chen family where she went...

What exactly does He want to do?

Entering and leaving the palace, and then going to the Yuwang Mansion, is there a problem with He's actions yesterday?

If the matter in the palace is successful, and the emperor is gone, then the He family will already know about it when he enters the palace, the Wang family is dull, and it will definitely be exposed after the fact, no matter how bold the He family is, it is impossible to go directly to the Yu Palace-don't forget whose son the second child is! She is not afraid that the second child will be connected with Wang's mother and son, and she will be detained with her backhand!?

If the East Window incident happened, the top priority was to hide the matter, but instead the He family wasted the spies with great fanfare, but left them alive and sent them back to Chen's house to demonstrate...

Abnormal and extremely demonic, this thing must be unusual!

Chen Xian is in a stalemate, the situation cannot be broken, there is only a dead end!

Wait a minute!

If you think about it the other way, the emperor has not actually passed away, and the Wang family has not had time to act? The sixth child went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the women of the He family had to pretend to be a gesture in order to protect themselves, and it was a demonstration to send people back to the Chen family to break their hands and tendons, and it was also a deterrent, and they entered the palace and left the palace with great fanfare, just to let those who couldn't hold their breath jump out earlier, and while the old emperor was still there, it was logical to catch them all...

This is a soldier's trickery, and the He family is going to cheat him!

Chen Xian's eyes slowly opened, whether it was virtual or real, often in a thought.

"Send someone to the Anguo Mansion to talk to Lord Shi, and have a relationship with the eyeliner in the palace, there must be an explanation whether it is virtual or real!" Chen Xian paused, "Send those five people back to Duanwang's Mansion, Chen's Mansion is not Shura Hell, only the living will be entered, and useless dead people will not be accepted!" ”

This is to wipe the necks of those five people first, and then send them to Duanwang's mansion...

The chief manager's knees weakened and he walked away.

Mrs. Chen walked out of the flowers, the bead curtain was lowered by her hand, and the sound of "jingle bells and jingling bells" was rapid and crisp, like the strings of the pipa being stirred eagerly and enthusiastically.

"Why don't you let people ask for a face?"

Mrs. Chen frowned and asked lightly.

This is the most effective method, seeing is believing, hearing is false, whether the old emperor is alive or dead, it only takes a glance to settle the dust.

Chen Xian propped his hands on his knees, muttered for a long time, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slapped it on the wooden table on his side.

Mrs. Chen wanted to open her mouth to ask again, but then she saw that Chen Xian's face was gloomy, and her lips were pursed, but she didn't say anything more.

"He didn't dare."

Xingzhao held a pair of bamboo scissors wrapped with copper wire in his hand, and with a "click", he cut off a flower with a large bowl mouth, lightly rested it in the porcelain plate, and told Lianyu, "Chen Xian didn't dare to go to the Yiyuan Hall to check the authenticity, so he wrapped one, starved to death the timid and supported the bold, he was afraid, and he missed a chance to distinguish the true from the false." ”

As soon as the flowers were put down, Lianyu sprinkled a few drops of water on the petals to keep them fresh.

"As soon as the palace door is closed, no one knows what is waiting for Lord Chen in the palace."

Lianyu smiled and said, other girls care about being in the room, becoming aunts, and climbing into the male host's bed, and other ladies and grandmothers care about the difficulties of their heirs, concubines and mothers-in-law.

What is the saying?

Oh, people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

In fact, it's not quite right, put it on your own girl is no near worries, there must be long-term concerns, the heir is the first part of the entire royal family, one is a handkerchief, one is not even a fight, and the mother-in-law is like a mother-in-law

So this is worrying about the life and death of the whole house.

How fair this God is, give you this, you must take that.

Xingzhao cut off two more flowers, Lianyu gave a square handkerchief, Xingzhao wiped his hands, and then followed Lianyu's words and said, "After the Shunzhen Gate, the civil official gets off the sedan chair, and the military attache gets off the horse and enters the imperial city, life and death are not up to you." The aunt in the palace has been in business for decades and is regarded as a forbidden body, Chen Xian is going to take the Wang family by surprise, and the aunt is secretly angry and resentful. ”

If Chen Xian dared to enter the palace rashly regardless of it, Xingzhao would admire him instead.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare.

Up and down the Manchu Dynasty, for so many years, he was the only one who could write to ask to see the emperor, and the emperor allowed it every time, and changed someone else, and even the emperor's brother King Pingyang handed over the excerpt, and eight times out of nine times were not allowed to meet.

Ho, it's a pity that Chen Xian didn't dare. (To be continued......)
