Chapter 55: The Old Mansion by the Qujiang River

"Brother, look, this will be our new home from now on!"

The little guy put one hand around his brother's neck, pointed to the door in front of him with the other chubby little point, and said triumphantly.

This is probably the surprise she prepared for her brother.

Standing in front of Chen Bodhi is a house with three entrances and three entrances, and the courtyard is not very large. It's just slightly better than ordinary people, which is understandable, after all, it's next to Qujiang Pond. Unlike the wealthy neighbors next to him, he can't wait to build the gatehouse to the sky. This old mansion that is obviously in disrepair, not to mention the gatehouse, even the copper nails on the door are not complete, one is missing in the east, and one is missing in the west. It's like a good person, the top of his head is inexplicably bald, not to mention how ugly it is.

The gate is also different from others. Facing away from Hua Yu Zhu Gate, Bao Tian is lonely Penghu, saying that the ancients regarded Zhu as precious, but all those who pay attention to the point will paint the gate red, but how can anyone paint the gate black?

Fortunately, there are still two mighty and hideous stone lions at the door, and they have earned some face.

However, Chen Bodhi is not so poor and exquisite, as the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. The days under the fence are no matter how worry-free they are, they will be inferior after all, and they will not last long. Now, I finally have a home of my own.

Needless to ask, this must be Li Xiaogong's kindness, but Chen Bodhi does not intend to accept it all. Sometimes it's not a good thing to receive too much favor. I inquired some time ago, and the property of this Chongrenfang is only about 200 yuan. If the house is dead, it will be doubled. Chen Bodhi still came up with this money.

The weather was too hot, and after a general look at the periphery of the house, there was nothing to see except for a little dilapidation, so Chen Bodhi took the little guy and led Jin Se into the yard.

......

A secret room

Even though the weather is so hot, the secret room is still airtight, except for the door to enter, the entire secret room does not even have a window.

There was no light without windows, and a large secret room was lit with a small candle on the table.

"Knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

There was a hoarse voice from within, and it was as if the speaker had gravel in his throat slicing back and forth. Don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

"Ahem...... In. ”

The moment the door was pushed open, an evil wind entered. The candles on the blown table swayed, occasionally illuminating the person behind the candles. It's just to no avail, even if this person is in the dark, he is still in a black robe, covered with silver. Don't talk about physiognomy, don't speak, I'm afraid it's difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"What's the matter?"

The black-robed man asked.

"Tell the Venerable Master, someone has moved in the old mansion by the Qujiang River today!"

The people below knelt on the ground and answered the questions, without even raising their heads during the whole process.

The black robe fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking. Fingernails tap lightly on the tabletop. Without being instructed, the people kneeling below could only kneel there honestly, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Why that place? Isn't this man all dead? ”

"Do you know who lives in?"

The black-robed man broke the silence and took the initiative to ask.

"It is said that he is a traveling doctor who treated the eldest son of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, some time ago."

"Outside? Extraordinary? Do you know where he came from? What is the last name? “

The black-robed man was not very satisfied with such an answer.

"Time is pressing, the villain just found out that this person's surname is Chen, with a four or five-year-old sister, and the rest also ask the master to give the villain some time. The villain will find out in the shortest possible time. ”

The people below replied tremblingly.

"Smack!"

The enraged black-robed man slapped the table in front of him with a single palm, scattering broken wood and two broken candles on the ground. Without candles, the house was completely dark.

"The surname is Chen, there are so many surnames in the world, how dare he be surnamed Chen? Is it really haunting? “

Xu was angry, and the black-robed man was followed by a long cough. It lasted about a cup of tea, and if it was a little longer, I was afraid that the lungs would cough up. Finally stopped coughing, and the black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Qi!"

"The villain is here!"

"You're going to have men for me, and you're going to keep an eye on that courtyard. Twelve hours a day, without interruption. A little bit of information was missing. You go and report to the "yamen" yourself. Got it? “

"The little one understands!"

"Do you really understand?"

"Really understood!"

"Let's go down then."

"No!"

Liu Qi quickly stood up, lowered his head and walked out of the secret room quickly. I walked all the way to the sun, and was scorched by the scorching sun. It seemed that this was the only way to get rid of the cold in his body. I don't know how powerful this "yamen" is, from the time I heard this name until now, Liu Qi's legs are still shaking like a sieve.

......

Temple of Manna

Li Shimin was sitting on the desk and looking down at the folds presented by Qin Shubao, which recorded the specific process of the assessment in detail. And the appendix is the training process of the "scout team" in the past half a month.

"In more than half a month, he can subdue this group of people without accepting the heavens and the earth, and he can still train to be like this, and the ability of the commander has been demonstrated. In terms of specific application, it is also full of wisdom and cunning. Even if it is more than his old man, he is not much more reckless. This Chen family is really extraordinary. “

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding and smiling, it seemed that he was indeed very satisfied with such a result.

At this time, in addition to Li Shimin, there was also an old eunuch in the Ganlu Palace. There is no one else.

"Your Majesty, according to the previous agreement, this group of gentlemen and Chen Bodhi successfully passed the assessment and were all sent home. I wonder what you want to do with these people in the future? “

The old eunuch bowed and asked.

"Did the Chen family kid live in Qujiang Courtyard?"

Li Shimin did not answer the old eunuch's question, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Yesterday, the young daughter of the Chen family has already moved in with Chen Bodhi's maid, and presumably Chen Bodhi should also live in it now. However, there is one thing that His Majesty's old slave does not know. At this time, is it too early to let Chen Bodhi openly enter the sight of some well-intentioned people? “

Li Shimin looked up at the old eunuch's eyes, except for the cloudiness, there was nothing worth excavating.

"It's not early, Xiao De has already fought with me at his age."

"But, in this case. Will it be dangerous for them? “

The old eunuch continued to inquire, which was actually close to questioning. Such inquiries are rare even in the court. However, Li Shimin didn't think it was wrong, which shows the status of this old eunuch in his heart. You must know that Li Shimin is the first person in the world. The emperor is the most unquestionable.

"Just let the Baiqi Division do a good job of protecting the perimeter, and don't worry about the inside. Don't forget, the old guy is still alive. “

When the old eunuch heard this, he stopped arguing.

Yes, the Chen family is dead, but that old guy is still alive.
