On the fifth day of October in the twenty-second year of Yongzhi, everything that happened in the Thousand Households of Yongxi can be described as dazzling.

First, Yue Menghao arrested Chen Xiaoting, and just when all this was about to succeed, Yue Menghao was sent to prison by Chen Xiaoting.

There are also three adults of Qianhu who fight with each other, and Dongchang Cao Gonggong also came to intervene, and the captains were dazzled.

When the dust settled, although the lieutenants did not know everything about it, they could feel one thing.

The situation of the two powerhouses competing for thousands of households should not appear for the time being.

Because just after the end of the night, Liu Shi'an passed the news the next morning, saying that he was infected with wind and cold and could not go back to work in Qianhu.

The time came to the third day, that is, on the morning of the seventh day of October.

After resting at home for three days, Chen Xiaoting was in good spirits, and he slept lazily in the past few days.

Since Yue Menghao started to do things, Chen Xiaoting has not rested well, and the past three days can be regarded as making up for sleep.

"Husband, Mr. Zhang is asking to see you outside!" Shen Yi Shi Ran came in from outside the room.

Chen Xiaoting got up from the recliner and said with a smile: "I guess he came over, there should be good news!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting slowly changed into his official uniform with the help of Shen Yi, and he was not in a hurry at this time.

"Dad, he's going to see Yongyi again?" Chen Xiaoting asked casually.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Yongyi was released, and Chen Xiaoting was stunned when he saw the bruises all over his body.

He really didn't expect that Chen Yongyi, a weak scholar, would be so able to resist the fight.

Shen Yi straightened her husband's sleeves and said, "I don't know what this person thinks, he has to live outside, he doesn't treat us as his own!" ”

Chen Xiaoting laughed: "Don't let Xiaoyu hear what you say, she has already treated Chen Yongyi as her husband!" ”

After putting on the official uniform, Chen Xiaoting took the official hat from Shen Yi's hand, and then walked to the main hall of the front yard.

Because of his relaxation, he walked slowly at this time, as if this courtyard had such a unique landscape.

When he came to the front yard, Zhang Cheng was already waiting here, and hurriedly got up after seeing Chen Xiaoting.

"See your lord!" Zhang Cheng saluted in a regular manner.

After Chen Xiaoting waved his hand to signal him to be exempt, he asked directly, "How is Liu Shi'an's illness?" ”

Zhang Cheng bowed down and stood aside, and replied: "I sent someone to see it, and there was a smell of medicine in the house, and it seemed that he was sick!" ”

Chen Xiaoting walked out and said, "Then do you think he is really sick or has a heart disease?" ”

fell ill at this critical time, and fools knew that there was a problem, but Zhang Cheng was uneasy to play cards.

I only heard him say: "Please also teach me!" ”

Chen Xiaoting laughed, but said: "Liu Jianping likes to pat himself openly, you are smarter than him!" ”

Zhang Cheng was embarrassed to hear this, but Chen Xiaoting didn't come to make fun of him.

"Although Liu Shi'an can't do big things, this kind of courage to withdraw decisively is very human!" Chen Xiaoting sighed.

Of course, this is also the reason why he is qualified to sigh as a winner, otherwise Liu Shi'an would have laughed at him.

"My lord, Yue Menghao has already confessed everything, he said that he was instigated by his subordinate Xiao Qi Officer Zheng Chun, and he made a big mistake only when he was overlooked!" Zhang Cheng said.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting suddenly laughed, and then said: "They are really wearing a pair of pants, and they even shirk their responsibilities!" ”

And this is also the main purpose of Zhang Cheng's visit today, which is to convey the news of Yue Menghao's confession.

"What else is not?" Chen Xiaoting asked again.

After Zhang Cheng thought about it, he said: "Last night, Liu Lao Qianhu took Liu Siqin to visit Lord Zhou!" ”

The so-called old Liu Qianhu is Liu Changming, who has always been holding on to his old face to ask for his son's guilt.

However, if he doesn't show real benefits, Liu Changming's face is not so effective.

In fact, Liu Siqin rashly stood in line this time, and there may be Liu Changming's instigation inside, he was unwilling to let his family decay like this, so he had this risky trip.

But alas, they lost the bet.

"Let's go, go meet Yue Menghao!" Chen Xiaoting said after putting on his official hat.

"Your Excellency is going to interrogate you personally?" Zhang Cheng asked carefully.

Chen Xiaoting said meaningfully: "How do you want to interrogate?" When the water is clear, there are no fish! ”

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, standing in his position, he felt that he could see the general trend clearly, but Chen Xiaoting's words still needed him to taste carefully.

Maybe the next direction of things will not be as he expected.

In fact, it is true, Yue Menghao pushed the responsibility downward, and it was appropriate to deal with him.

And how to decide this discretion is actually not something that Chen Xiaoting can decide, but a decision made by thousands of households in Yongxi.

Now, Liu Shi'an has withdrawn, and He Xinghong has forced him to retreat, so everything is Zhou Wenzhu's final say.

And Zhou Wenzhu's purpose is to move to the position of a thousand households, and if you want to become a thousand households, you need to be appointed by the Department of Suppression.

If he wants the Zhenfu Division to recognize him, now he has to take care of both aspects, so Yue Menghao can't be too miserable.

At the very least, he can't take his life, not to mention that now Yue Menghao has pushed the responsibility out.

To put it simply, now that there are no opponents in thousands of households, Zhou Wenzhu's identity and attitude have changed.

For Zhou Wenzhu, he used to stand as a die-hard supporter of Shen Yue, but now he can stand on his own.

There is no betrayal in this, everything is inevitable, at least on the surface he has to be impartial.

After arriving at the Thousand Households, Chen Xiaoting walked directly to the Hundred Households Prison, and happened to meet Liu Siqin, who had just come out of the prison.

The two met at the gate, Liu Siqin's face was a little embarrassed, and Chen Xiaoting's gaze made him embarrassed.

Chen Baihu ...... Long time no see! Liu Siqin said very unnaturally.

Chen Xiaoting sneered: "It's only been a few days, I was stopped outside by you before, Liu Baihu, have you forgotten?" ”

Liu Siqin laughed, but under the gaze of his subordinates, he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaoting didn't come to trouble him, but only heard him ask: "Today, I should be able to go in, right?" ”

Liu Siqin hurriedly got out of the way, Chen Xiaoting didn't look at him at all, and walked in with his hands behind his back.

There is no need to have a good face for Liu Siqin, this person has offended Zhou Wenzhu miserably, even if Liu Changming intercedes, there will be no future in the Qianhu Institute in the future.

Inside the prison, under the guidance of Zhang Cheng, Chen Xiaoting came to a cell outside.

Yue Menghao was locked inside, and the guards here were all Chen Xiaoting's lieutenants.

After the door was opened, Chen Xiaoting walked in, and at this time Yue Menghao was tied to the shelf, just like Chen Yongyi had been treated before.

It's just that there are not many scars on his body, this is because he confesses quickly.

After sitting on the chair brought by the colonel, Chen Xiaoting waved everyone away before saying, "No one else is here, you don't have to pretend to be dead!" ”

Sure enough, Yue Menghao slowly raised his head, and at this time his hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot.

"You're here to see me laughing?"

Chen Xiaoting took off his official hat, took it in his hand and rubbed his head and said, "Although you don't have the identity of Jinyiwei, your life has been saved!" ”

Seeing that Chen Xiaoting ignored his question, Yue Menghao laughed dumbly, and now he didn't even have the qualifications to be laughed at.

"This makes my life worse than death, you win!" Yue Menghao said in a deep voice.

Seeing the official hat in front of him, Chen Xiaoting raised his head and said: "You and I have been fighting for many years, and now that you have defeated me and I have won, I will not take your life......"

"But you honestly, if I had been defeated before, you would ...... What will you do to me? ”

Yue Menghao couldn't help but be stunned, thoughts flew in his eyes, and finally returned to Qingming Dao: "With Lord Shen here, I won't take your life, I will let you go back to Guangde to retire!" ”

Yue Menghao's way of thinking about things is the same as Chen Xiaoting.

Chen Xiaoting stood up, put the official hat back on, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, I won!" ”

originally thought that he had a lot to say, but when he really got here, Chen Xiaoting felt that it was redundant to say anything.

After asking the answer to the question from Yue Menghao, he turned around and left directly.

And behind him, Yue Menghao was already sobbing, and from this moment on, he ...... His years of struggle, his official career has come to an end.

In the future, he will be a living dead man, who can only watch Chen Xiaoting go higher and higher, and he can only look up at each other in the dirt.
