Chapter 42: The Old Man Is a Ruthless Man
At the same time as Chen Ziqian rushed home, in the ancestral hall of the Chen family in Wuling County, the patriarch and the stewards of each house gathered together, and the scene was noisy and noisy, and all kinds of arguments continued.
And in such a noisy environment, the first sixty-year-old man can sit in the hall and close his eyes to recuperate.
I saw him straighten his back, holding a tiger-headed cane in both hands, and there was an aura of non-anger and self-authority on his cheeks covered with age spots.
No one bothered him, everyone said their own things, but the topic revolved around Chen Ziqian's return to recruit troops and try to do wrong.
This is a matter of losing one's head, once it is suppressed by the government, it is the sin of the nine clans, there is no certainty, who dares to support it rashly?
"Patriarch, I'm back, I'm back, the one in the sixth room has arrived at Huishan Bridge!" A middle-aged man ran in excitedly and said.
The old man, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, slowly opened his eyes, and the tiger-headed cane in his hand lightly stomped on the ground a few times, making a thumping sound, and the noise at the scene immediately subsided.
"The matter of recruiting troops and buying horses will be discussed later, the six rooms and one vein will fight the rebels in the north this time, and become famous for being outnumbered and outnumbered, according to the ancestral system, anyone who raises the prestige of our clan, the patriarch and below should go out of the city to greet him, everyone, please." The old man took the lead in getting up as he spoke, and strode out of the ancestral hall with a tiger's head cane.
The other stewards followed, and the other Chen clansmen in the city also followed, and in a short time, hundreds of people gathered outside the city.
Such a movement naturally caused the whole city to shake, and in addition to the Chen clan, some outsiders also gathered to join in the fun.
In addition, Fan Zhong and Luo Yixiu, who were the first to come back, also rushed over to respond.
Not long after, a carriage came slowly from not far away, and Lin Xiaodao rode a dragon yin horse to open the road in front, and saw this battle and specially asked Chen Ziqian for instructions.
Knowing that a large group of people were gathering outside the city, Chen Ziqian was also surprised, and he couldn't help but worry after taking a look: "What does this mean?" ”
Let Luo Yixiu come back early to ventilate, no one will report the result, and now he suddenly puts on such a battle, is it possible that he is worried that he will be implicated and drive him out of the temple?
"Can't you?" Chen Ziqian pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, the Chen family has a big business, and it is not so easy to reach a consensus internally, even if the patriarch comes forward to make a decision, some people may not be willing to rebel against him.
Chen Ziqian can also understand, after all, it is a big matter of losing his head, and no one can afford to take this risk.
But since it is a big thing that is both prosperous and lossy, it is easy to do, as long as there is enough sweetness, are you afraid that they will not be tempted?
The carriage quickly stopped at the gate of the city, and as soon as Chen Ziqian got out of the carriage, Fan Zhong and Luo Yixiu flocked to them.
At present, there are many people with mixed eyes, in order to avoid every move from reaching the Taishou, Chen Ziqian stopped them from saluting as soon as possible, and outsiders had nothing to say when they saw this scene.
The people of the Chen clan also gathered around at this time, and the old man was in good spirits, with a kind smile on his face.
Chen Ziqian glanced at it and took in the other party's attributes.

Affiliation: Wuling Chen, Loyalty: ——, Official Position: Patriarch
Brawn: 63, Intelligence: 92
Commander-in-chief: 66, political: 74

Chen Ziqian's eyes lit up, he squeezed out a few tears, and stepped forward to bow down: "Chen Ziqian, an unfilial descendant, has seen the patriarch." ”
Everyone was stunned, and a bunch of rhetoric prepared in advance were all disrupted by Chen Ziqian's kneeling.
The smile on Chen Shangbo's face also dissipated instantly, and he was even a little impressed by Chen Ziqian, and immediately said with a straight face: "It's good to come back, and I'll talk about the cause and effect when I go home." ”
"Yes!" Chen Ziqian responded respectfully, wiped his tears and helped Chen Shangbo to the city.
The clansmen who had come to greet them were so lively that they had no choice but to follow and leave.
Chen Ziqian did this for outsiders to see, he made up stories in front of Zeng Yuanqi before, pushed all the fame to Yang Zhiying, and came back to be supported and praised by the clansmen, it was inevitable to be ashamed, and finding an excuse to escape is the reaction that a normal person should have.
Acting is a complete set, and if you can't finish acting the antecedents, you can't ignore the consequences, so the credibility is too low.
Now this is very reasonable, Zeng Yuanqi's side can be more convinced of the story he made up before, so that it can also buy him more time for development.
Of course, Chen Shangbo didn't know the details here, but how smart he was, 92 points of intelligence, and his strategy was still LV7, almost the moment Chen Ziqian knelt on the ground, he guessed that Chen Ziqian didn't want to be in the limelight.
After all, the Chen family also wants to be embarrassed, and they can't count the things that Chen Ziqian didn't bring back his father in this public.
"Fame but not arrogant, calm and moderate, is a material that can be made." Chen Shangbo turned his head to look at the young man beside him, with a slightly relieved expression on his face.
Chen Ziqian looked at the old man in a daze, and immediately understood that his little caution was seen through by the old man.
Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
"I can't hide anything from you." Chen Ziqian smiled innocently.
Chen Shangbo snorted a little proudly before saying: "You go back to your mother first, and then come to the ancestral hall, what you want to do is very important, and you must convince the clansmen yourself." ”
"Boy understands." Chen Ziqian respectfully agreed, and then the patriarch returned to the ancestral hall with a group of clansmen.
Looking at Chen Shangbo's distant back, a smile appeared on Chen Ziqian's face.
The old man's words just now sounded an understatement, but it was not difficult to feel from his words that the old man supported him in his rise.
This is a good start, even the patriarch agreed, is it still far from the entire Chen family?
Chen Ziqian took his own people straight to the Chen family's mansion, and the old lady and the cheap daughter-in-law were waiting in the courtyard early.
But after Chen Ziqian entered the door, he didn't even look at them, but asked people to close the door, and made personnel arrangements with a serious face: "One rest!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" Seeing that Chen Ziqian was so solemn, Luo Yixiu immediately didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and knelt on one knee.
Chen Ziqian took out the inauguration document personally given by Zeng Yuanqi from his arms and handed it to Luo Yixiu and said: "You take the first step, go to Anyi County for me to take office, and find out the specific situation of Anyi County as soon as possible, I don't care what method you use, when I arrive, I want to see a brand new county seat." ”
"Whoa!"
"Fang Changping listens to the order! I ordered you to take all the people to Anyi County with Yixiu immediately, and I will not have full authority for you to obey Yixiu's order and cooperate with him to complete the rectification of Anyi County. ”
"Whoa!"
"Fan Zhong listened to the order and ordered you to lead the old troops to Pushan to meet Luo Taibai, and tell him that the rebels invaded Ningzhou, and many people would inevitably move their families, so let him use no matter what method he uses, bring as many people as possible to my Anyi."
"Whoa!"
"The battle has begun, we are now going to compete with God for time, you have been working hard recently, when my soldiers are strong and strong, it will be the day when you will dominate the world!"
Chen Ziqian's words were impassioned, and everyone was excited to hear them.
Coming all the way to walk and play, the spirit is almost gone, and now listening to Chen Ziqian's arrangement, one by one, there is a pride of showing off their strength and doing a great job.
Chen Ziqian asked everyone to split up, and after everyone dispersed, he turned to look at the woman not far away.
