Chapter 404: Eating

In the evening, Chen Xiaoting's family was eating in the house, and they made it simple at night, so they only had five dishes and one soup.

said that it was a family, but in fact there were only Chen Xiaoting and two wives and concubines, and Chen Dayong and his wife were in the old house.

It's not that Chen Xiaoting is unfilial, but the old couple is with Chen Xiaolin today, because someone told him that the matchmaker came today.

The three adults here are eating, Chen Ruiling is taken care of by a maidservant, and the youngest Chen Juan is in Zheng Xuan'er's arms.

This scene can be regarded as a happy one, Zheng Xuan'er is focused on her daughter, while Chen Xiaoting and Shen Yi are chatting about family life.

At this moment, a servant came to report that Zhao Ying, the little flag officer, wanted to see him.

Today's Zhao Ying can be regarded as Chen Xiaoting's confidant, so he gave him the position of the little flag official directly under him.

Since he came to look for it at this time, Chen Xiaoting knew that the matter he had arranged had come to fruition, so Chen Xiaoting asked the servant to bring Zhao Ying in.

After a while, Zhao Ying walked in in an official uniform, and after entering the door and saluting Chen Xiaoting, he said, "My lord, your orders have been arranged!" ”

What Chen Xiaoting ordered was actually to ask Zhao Ying to send someone to spy on Xiao Rui.

Although Xiao Rui's identity cannot be determined, since Chen Xiaoting feels that he may have a problem, he will not ignore it.

At this time, the meal was almost finished, so Chen Xiaoting got up and took Zhao Ying to the dining room.

The dining room is crowded and not a place to talk.

After coming to the courtyard, there was no one left and right, so Chen Xiaoting said: "Remember clearly, don't interfere too much with Xiao Rui, just stare at him!" ”

If Xiao Rui really has a problem, then Chen Xiaoting wants to put a long line instead, maybe he can catch a big fish.

"Humble duty understands!" Zhao Ying nodded, and after sitting on the small flag, he was obviously more mature.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "You go and say hello to Wu Tie and Zhang Mingming, and tell them that the competition should be fair, and if anyone colludes openly and secretly, they will be directly out!" ”

promised Yang Wanli in the afternoon, Chen Xiaoting arranged it for him.

Sending Zhao Ying as his representative is enough to make Wu Tie and the others bow their heads, and if they don't bow their heads, Chen Xiaoting will cut off their heads.

Zhao Ying nodded yes, he should have left at this time, but he looked like he still had something to say at this time.

After Chen Xiaoting saw it, he said, "Just say something!" ”

So Zhao Yingcai said: "My lord, I just came to the rest from Zhang Zongqi, saying that on Taixi's side, traces of the White Lotus Sect missionary have indeed been found, and they are trying their best to track them down!" ”

After receiving the information a few days ago, Chen Xiaoting asked Zhang Cheng to investigate, but he didn't expect the result to be so soon.

You must know that the White Lotus Sect is Shen Yue's top priority, and it is a proper merit to make achievements in this.

So Chen Xiaoting said: "Zhang Cheng, who was given the order, let him be sure to track it down closely!" ”

Zhao Ying nodded, but he didn't wait for him to answer, but saw Chen Xiaoting shake his head and said, "Forget it, this official will go over and take a look in person!" ”

It had been a long time since the White Lotus Sect had been captured, so Chen Xiaoting attached great importance to it, and even did not hesitate to go there in person.

For him, whether it is to integrate the gangs in the city or adjust the official positions in the hundred households, the purpose is to make meritorious contributions.

And what is the most meritorious? Of course, it is to fight against the White Lotus Sect and the thieves.

Hearing that Chen Xiaoting was going to go in person, Zhao Ying was extremely surprised, how serious was the matter?

Seeing Zhao Ying's expression, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but say, "What? Do you think it's wrong? ”

Hearing Chen Xiaoting's obviously questioning tone, Zhao Ying hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare to be humble, everything is according to the orders of the adults!" ”

Looking at the joke, his official position was promoted by Chen Xiaoting, wouldn't he be looking for death if he went against the tune.

In fact, Chen Xiaoting himself decided to take a look, not just to check the current matter.

He even wanted to prove to everyone under him that he attached great importance to the fight against the White Lotus Sect, and only when everyone paid attention to it could they gather greater strength.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but say: "I'll leave tomorrow, you go and prepare first, and then I'll transfer Zhang Cheng to leave that part of the manpower!" ”

Zhao Ying nodded repeatedly, and then turned around.

The things that should be ordered have been arranged, and Chen Xiaoting has relaxed a little in his heart, he only hopes that he can really find out something this time.

As for the affairs of the several gangs in the city, now that he has given orders, it will be up to them to perform.

If the Renyi Gang can't even do it alone, it means that he doesn't have enough strength, and it's no wonder that Chen Xiaoting gave up on him.

At this moment, Shen Yi came to Chen Xiaoting's back and asked softly, "Master is going out for a while?" ”

Chen Xiaoting turned around at this time, and then asked, "Madam, have you finished eating?" ”

Shen Yi nodded, and then said, "Master, didn't you tell me that you won't go on a business trip after you are promoted to 100 households, why do you still have to go out now?" ”

In the past three years of marriage with Chen Xiaoting, Shen Yi has been worried.

At that time, Chen Xiaoting was still working as the general flag in Qianhu, and every time he went out, it was accompanied by danger, and he even came back a few times with injuries.

As a wife, she has relied on her husband all her life, and Chen Xiaoting's injuries are also her pain.

At that time, Chen Xiaoting told him that after he made a hundred households, he would not go out again.

Now blocked by Shen Yi with this sentence, Chen Xiaoting really didn't know how to be round for a while.

Just as he was finishing, he only heard Shen Yi continue: "Master, the concubine also knows your difficulties, so the concubine will not stop you from going out!" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yi walked up to Chen Xiaoting, helped him straighten up his collar and said, "Concubine only hopes that you have to protect yourself well, don't rush to the front at all times, Ruiling and Juan Juan are waiting for you to come back!" ”

I have to say that Chen Xiaoting was very moved when he heard these words, and he knew that his wife really loved him in her heart.

After grabbing Shen Yi's hand, Chen Xiaoting said: "Madam, I have everything in my account, and I will never put myself in danger!" ”

Shen Yi hurriedly took her hand back, she was the mistress of this family, and she had to maintain her majesty in front of her subordinates.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Chen Xiaoting asked Shen Yi, "Where is Ruiling?" ”

Shen Yi replied: "Where else can I go, go to see his sister!" ”

Chen Xiaoting took Shen Yi's hand again, and then said, "Then let's go and see Juan Juan too!" ”

The two of them turned around and walked towards the back house, Zheng Xuan'er was usually in her room at this time, and she was now focused on taking care of her daughter.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiaoting got up and went to the hundred households.

After the order, Chen Xiaoting called Gou Ming'an and Zhang Chengfa aside and explained their daily management of the hundred households, and Chen Xiaoting went out of the city with his men.

His destination was to go to Taixi, and Zhang Cheng should have found out some eyebrows when he arrived.

Of course, this is the best outcome, and it is possible to track down nothing.

On the contrary, the latter is the norm, which is all the experience that Chen Xiaoting has personally summed up.
