Chapter 43: Every man for himself
"Daddy. I think Chang Rui, the dog official, is determined to eat our Chen family. There is also Li Tianhe and Li Zhoutong behind him. Chen Ming sat cross-legged on the bed. The covers and straw on the wooden bed in the cell had been lifted, four meat dishes had been arranged, and a jug of wine and a wine glass were in the food box.
"Dad, do you have any relationships that your son doesn't know? Things have come to this point, and the Chen family must deal with it with all their might. If we are not careful, we will die and the clan will be wiped out. ”
Chen Hui also sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a wine glass in his hand. This is his favorite Baofeng Xingzhuang wine, the fragrance is pure, sweet and refreshing, and he likes to make the whole stove room at home on weekdays, and drink it alone with a pot of wine. It may be that the county government is too noisy and tired, and Chen Hui prefers to be quiet when he is at home. But because I am used to nature, I enjoy the quiet Chen Hui more, and I slowly don't care about Xingzhuang wine.
Today, Chen Hui suffered the biggest setback in his life, and experienced the most unforgettable day in his life for more than 40 years. picked up the wine glass again, looked at the son in front of him, and his heart was full of the sadness of the hero's end.
"I want to have a relationship with my father, but where is it? Our Chen family is a soap family in the final analysis, what kind of capital can be enough to be a bigger official. Stone, when you go back, you will sell the property, and sell it as soon as possible. Send your mother back to Gao's house, and when you get the money, you will immediately go to Tumenji and hide in the mountains.
What Chang Rui wants to break is the root of our entire Chen family. You, the entire Chen family, have all gone far away to hide in the mountains. Wait for a year and a half, go your separate ways, go incognito somewhere else, and settle down.
Dad, you don't have to worry about it anymore. No amount of silver is sent in the water. You have to honor your mother and your grandmother in the future, and your father can't be filial in front of her old man. And thou shalt be your father, and thou shalt honor thy grandmother well. ”
Chen Hui said, tears streaming down her eyes. He felt that this was the last time he would see his son.
Chen Ming's face was still normal, and he had already seen that this cheap father had no hope of being 'rescued'. Even for the preservation of the Chen family, it is considered impossible. Chang Rui and Li Zhou joined forces, as well as Lao Zhou, Feng Zhang and others to help, and this strength has crushed his confidence. From any point of view, there is no possibility that the Chen family will be spared!
"Dad, are you really willing to die like this? Are you really willing to let my Chen family's century-old foundation disperse like this? ”
Chen Ming gritted his teeth, his face showed two points of hideousness, and he lowered his voice and said: "Dad, Lushan County's armament is lax, Chang Rui and the others think they have a plan, their eyes are all focused on money and silver, with the strength of my Chen family, I will enter the city in one fell swoop and rescue you." ”
He wrote the word "fallen grass" on the board with a drink on it!
Chen Hui was suddenly shocked, and when he opened his mouth, he thought that you should not kill yourself. But he wasn't an idiot after all, and something immediately came to mind.
Isn't the Chen family's construction of the village in the deep mountains the current mortal situation? If the Chen family can retreat into the mountains, then it will not be a problem to find an opportunity to escape. The entire Funiu Mountain is too big, and the government has to have such a ability to block it all, and all the officials will become immortals. For the Chen family, this is a way to live, although the entire clan will be torn apart and fragmented because of this, and they will have to start over in other places, but it is better than being looted by the government.
And I really need to live now. Because Chen Ming is still too young and is far from completely controlling the power of the family, and Chen Cong, whether it is ability or prestige, can only rise with the Seventh Duke and the Fifth Prince, and once the incident happens, Chen Erbao's status will be greatly increased, if the Chen family has infighting......
Chen Hui, who was still loveless at the moment, once he found that the possibility and significance of surviving was very great, he immediately looked different. It's a straightforward way to leave the risk of doing so out of your mind.
Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people?
There are some things that cannot be given up in front of life, but the price paid now is only to make the Chen family suffer some more risks and burdens. This is very worthwhile in Chen Hui's eyes, because he is very necessary and necessary to survive. The Chen family's family business is their branch, which has been laid down one by one in a hundred years, even if they want to break up and split up, they must not shorten the benefits they deserve. But if he dies in prison, the interests of the Chen family's main lineage may not be guaranteed!
So is it worth dying by yourself? Not worth it, seriously not worth it.
Chen Hui's life has been linked to the interests of the Chen family's main lineage, so the price paid for it is completely worth it. If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. In a word: Chen Hui can give his life for the Chen family, but this Chen family must be their Chen family, otherwise it is not worth it.
The kind of master who can give up his life and everything for the sake of the family, the ideological realm is very high. There may be a lot of them in this world, but it will definitely not be the Chen family father and son.
This kind of thing, which is detrimental to the interests of the entire family, but can ensure their own interests, Chen Hui, Chen Ming, father and son, no one feels sorry for it.
Walking out of the yamen, the moon in the sky was already hanging in the sky. Chen Ming sat in the carriage and didn't say a word. Liu Wu shrank in a corner, he didn't dare to make a sound at all, he could see it very clearly, now his young master was very depressed in his heart, the whole person was like a powder keg, Chen Ming just wanted to be quiet, and he didn't mean to speak at all. Liu Wushen was afraid that he would detonate the powder keg as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he would be sad.
All the way back to the south of the city quietly. Lao Liu was waiting at the door, "Young master, young master." Seeing Sun Youfu rushing over in a carriage, he hurriedly jumped down the steps to usher in it.
Chen Ming reciprocated Lao Liu's longing eyes with an indifferent face like an ice cube. Lao Liu's heart fell to the bottom at once, "Young master, Ren Meng, Zhang Chi, Wu Xizeng, Zheng Hongyu, Wei Xiuzhi ......, their families are waiting in the house." ”
Chen Hui's three henchmen in the household room and the two followers in the torture room are these five people.
Chen Ming's iceberg-like face finally had a hint of waves, "Human nature, this is how it should be." After he came out of the county office, he was really blocked. Chen Hui's promise can almost set the tone of his 'falling into the grass', as long as Chen Erbao is convinced, things can no longer be reversed. But Chang Rui's sudden blow really hurt Chen Ming very much.
The Chen family's den in Xiangxian County has only been operating for more than half a year, and the small 100,000 taels of silver earned back have been mostly turned into 'inputs' and materials in the mountains, but the amount of material reserves is far from the passing line in his heart, if he can give another three or two years, the strength of the Chen family will be ten times greater than now.
