The joke is over. Except for the old grandson himself, no one else laughed.

Chen Zikun was shocked that there was such a powerful landlord under the rule of Jiangdong, if it was a wealthy family, it would be fine, but relying on a general in the family, he could become the richest man in the county in less than ten years.

Shuangxi is very embarrassed, he has been following Chen Zikun as an adjutant, the things in his hometown are not very clear, these family businesses should be his brother Chen Shou's, if they are investigated, it will be difficult for them to be people on both sides.

Suddenly, Liu Ting laughed: "If you want me to say, this old woman walked too slowly, and she didn't go out for a day and a night." ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "Yes, old grandson, you are hearsay, blind JB." ”

The old grandson was anxious: "Guest, don't believe it, the big courtyard of the Chen family is about to catch up with the county government, the door of the mansion is open to the south, there are watchtowers in the four corners, there are security guards, gunners and wolf dogs, the county magistrate has to pass it on first, if the idle people dare to look at the door, a leather whip is pumped out, last year I passed by his door, forgot to get out of the car, and was almost not killed." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's not the Forbidden City, what kind of car to get off?" ”

Lao Sun Tou said: "This is the rule set by Master Chen, civil officials get off the sedan chair, and military attaches get off the horse." Speaking of this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is something hidden at the gate of the Chen family, which is the iron scroll of the Danshu given by Chairman Chen. ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's a little interesting, I want to go to the Chen family compound to see, where is the Chen family compound?" ”

Old Sun Tou said: "In the east of the county seat." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Isn't there a forest in the east of the county, why did you build a house?" ”

Lao Sun Tou said: "Ouch, guest, as soon as you hear this, you know that you haven't been to Nantai for at least five years, the county seat is too small, and those rich big families have built houses outside the city, and the city has good wind and water, and a large number of houses have been built, and the Chen family's house is the largest." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Go and take a look." ”

The country road is dusty, the outline of the county town can be faintly seen in the distance, there are more cars and horses and pedestrians on the road, the old grandson shook a whip, drove the mule cart straight to the east of the city, the 21st year of the Republic of China in Nantai, than when Chen Zikun took office as the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, Nantai was much larger, the county expanded outward, many houses were built outside the city, coal kilns were everywhere, and the coal ships on the Dawang River came and went so lively.

The big mansion of the Chen family is really magnificent, the blue brick wall is more than one zhang high, there are watchtowers built at the four corners, there are guards with guns on it, the house occupies a very wide area, the door head is extremely magnificent, the door face of the three bays, the green glazed tiles, the door is closed, only the small doors on both sides are open, and several families are sitting at the door to enjoy the coolness.

The old grandson didn't dare to go over, saying that he could just take a look from a distance, Chen Zikun took out a big ocean: "Take a trip at the door, this is for you." ”

"Yes, but you all have to get out of the car when you get to the door." The old grandson snatched the ocean, blew it, put it in his ears and listened to the buzzing echo, and the old face smiled into a chrysanthemum.

The mule cart was still eight feet away from the gate of the mansion, and the family members noticed it, dropped the fan in their hands, and stared at the old grandson viciously.

The old grandson hurriedly got out of the car and said in a low voice: "Guest, come down quickly." ”

There is a canopy with a mat branch on the mule cart, Chen Zikun and the three of them sat under the shed, without the slightest intention of getting off, the old grandson understood, these people are determined to find fault, they are strangers, just pat their butts and walk away if they get into trouble, they are unlucky, and they hurriedly want to turn around, but this is even more self-defeating, but it angers the Chen family.

"Whoever drives the mule says you, stop!" A man who looked like a butler shouted angrily, and came over with two servants, all wearing silk trousers, straw hats, and whips in their hands, the sun was shining in the summer.

Old Sun Tou stopped the mule cart with a bitter face, took off his straw hat and nodded: "Steward Chen, what, it's very cool today." ”

Steward Chen said: "Less close, how can you catch the car, and turn back when you get to the door, do you think we Chen family stinks or what?" ”

The old grandson smiled: "No, no, no." ”

Suddenly, the family found someone in the car and shouted, "Get down!" ”

Shuangxi couldn't hold it anymore, jumped down and scolded: "Blind dog minion, I'm tired of you." ”

The family was furious, waved the whip, and Shuangxi stepped forward with a fist and kick, knocked the two family members to the ground, and smacked hard: "The dog fights the things of human power, Lao Tzu sees it once and once." ”

The housekeeper saw that the situation was not good, and ran away.

The old grandson was frightened: "Guest, I've caused a big disaster, let's leave quickly." ”

Shuangxi jumped into the carriage, still scolding, but Chen Zikun didn't care: "It's like this when you are a slave, don't be angry with them." ”

The old grandson threw up his whip and drove the mule cart to quickly escape from the Chen family's mansion, and when the nurses rushed out when they heard the news, there was no trace of the mule cart.

A young ** in his twenties wearing white silk trousers said angrily: "Dare to spread wild at the door of Chen's house, is there still a king's law, chase me!" ”

The butler immediately led a few people back to the stable, took out the horses, put on the bridle and saddle, and the young master galloped away with the four guards.

They soon caught up with Lao Suntou's mule cart, but the guests had already gotten off and left, and Lao Suntou couldn't say their names, only knew that they were two men and a woman, and went into the city.

The skin of the old grandson's head was opened, but the five oceans hidden in the blanket were unharmed, this was rewarded by the guests just now, and it was worth it even if he was beaten.

The last time Chen Zikun came to Nantai was four years ago, accompanied by the county magistrate Zhou to do an inspection, this time he came to not alarm the government, what he saw was the most real scene, the county is indeed developing rapidly, shops are lined up, tobacco houses, wine shops, brothels are all available.

The county actually opened a smoking house in a grand manner, which made Chen Zikun a little depressed, and the smoking ban for many years still had little effect, even the model county was so yang and yin, and other cities and counties could be imagined.

was walking, suddenly a person came in front of him, passed by, and then turned around, looked at Chen Zikun's tall back suspiciously, and suddenly exclaimed: "Chairman Chen!" ”

Chen Zikun looked back, it turned out to be Boss Lin of Drunken Immortal Building, and he was also an old acquaintance, and it was difficult to deny it if he was recognized, so he could only smile and give his hand: "Boss Lin has always been good." ”

Boss Lin suddenly shouted, and all the people around him were brought in, and the private visit of Weifu turned into a public inspection, and it didn't take much time for the county magistrate Zhou Rongchun to get the report, and he ran to meet him out of breath with his master and a few followers.

When he passed by the old security regiment headquarters, he saw a fool sitting under the shade of a tree, with his trousers raised and saliva hanging on the corners of his mouth, which was Qiu Fuzhao, the head of the security regiment back then.

Zhou Rongchun noticed that Chen Zikun's gaze stayed on Qiu Fuzhao for more than two seconds, and hurriedly explained: "Anyway, he has also fought bandits, and the county is in charge of his food and drink, and he will not die of hunger." ”

"Hmm." Chen Zikun nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his tone, and Zhou Rongchun was overjoyed.

The old county government has been converted into a school, and the county government is located in the former Guan Yi, the place is not big, and the furnishings are simple, it seems that the county magistrate of Zhou is still a clean official.

When he was reporting to work, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves outside was urgent, and five healthy horses rushed straight into the yard, leading a young man in white clothes and white trousers, and broke in with a flick of the reins.

Zhou Rongchun immediately stood up, lowered his face and said, "Presumptuous, didn't you see that this county is entertaining guests." ”

Zhou Rongchun was very eye-catching, and when he saw Chen Zikun and Jian Cong, he knew that he was from Weifu for a private visit, so he did not use his name to oppress people.

The young man didn't take County Magistrate Zhou seriously at all, looked at Chen Zikun and Shuangxi, and said, "County Magistrate Zhou, this is your guest?" Why don't you understand the rules, you don't get out of the car when you get to the door of my house, and you beat people! ”

Double happiness is angry, jumping up is an ear scraper to pull over: "It's you who hit!" ”

The young man was caught off guard, five finger marks came out on his face, he reached out and pulled out his gun in annoyance, the lid of the wooden box had not been opened, and the muzzle of Shuangxi's gun was already against his temple, the Chen family's nursing home just came in, and when he saw this, he had to take out the gun, and the county magistrate of Zhou shouted: "Bold!" This is Chairman Chen! ”

The nurses hesitated and did not dare to move.

Shuangxi slapped him again, causing the young man to stumble.

"Why did you hit me?" The young man asked, clutching his cheeks.

"I'm your uncle! Chen Shuangxi! Shuangxi said angrily.

The young man knelt down with weak legs: "Uncle, spare me, don't dare next time." ”

His name is Chen Kangzheng, and he is Shuangxi's nephew, but he didn't have much contact before, and Shuangxi rarely returned to Nantai, so Chen Kangzheng didn't know this fourth uncle.

The Chen family is flying in Nantai, relying on the power of the Chen Shou brothers, seeing that the main master is coming, those dogs and people in the nursing home immediately died down, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy for their young master.

Shuangxi continued to pump him with a straight face: "I call you crazy, and the fucking civil official gets off the sedan chair, the military attache gets off the horse, and the fuck is a Danshu iron scroll, and he bullied the township within a few years of eating a full meal, I think you are tired of it." ”

Chen Kangzheng's cheeks were swollen and high, and County Magistrate Zhou couldn't stand it, but Chen Zikun didn't speak, and he couldn't persuade him.

Chen Zikun knew that Shuangxi was calling for himself, and when he was almost done, he waved his hand: "Okay, don't fight." ”

Shuangxi said: "Thank you Chairman Chen yet. ”

Chen Kangzheng kowtowed: "Thank you, Chairman Chen, thank you, Fourth Uncle." ”

"Get out!" Shuangxi put away the shell gun, and Chen Kangzheng got up and stumbled out, leading the guard to hug his head.

Chen Zikun said: "County Magistrate Zhou, you have a strong atmosphere of Nantai **, and the evil young man dares to go straight to the county government and shout and beat people, if I am not Chen Zikun, wouldn't I be beaten today?" ”

Zhou Rongchun sweated down, and said busily: "The incompetence of his position has frightened Chairman Chen." ”

Chen Zikun said: "This little thing doesn't surprise me, I just want to know, Chen ...... Chen, what's coming. ”

"Chen Gui." Shuangxi said that he must clear up, this Chen is not the other Chen.

"Yes, how did Chen Gui's land go, the county government should have land transaction records and land deed stubs, I would like to know how many acres of land the Chen family has."

Zhou Rongchun's head was sweating like rain, and his handkerchief was soaked.
