Chen Lin led the courtyard to exterminate the bandits in Savage Ridge with the county lieutenant Yuan Tong, and returned victoriously, Chen County Ling personally greeted him, the scene was so grand, and it took a long time before Chen Lin had to return to Chen's mansion with Chen Li.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Chen flew over with a happy magpie: "Big brother, big brother, are you back, my mother has been talking all day long, 'Why haven't you returned, why haven't you returned', where has the eldest brother been injured?" ”

Chen Lin's nose was sour, this is his family, he was busy holding Chen Zhi's hand and went inside to meet his mother, and the family surrounded Chen Lin to listen to Chen Lin talk about the process. Lin cried again, Chen Li nodded beside him, and Chen Ze looked at his eldest brother with admiration in his eyes.

Separated from the family, Chen Lin wanted to see the old lady. The grandfather and grandson sat down in the house and drove away the next people. Chen Lin knew that he could hide the matter from his father, but he couldn't hide it from the old lady, so he decided to confess: "Grandpa, I suppressed the bandits today, and I caught three knives without telling the county lieutenant that I hid in Dingguan Village." ”

The old lady's old face couldn't see a trace of change: "Is this for that?" ”

"Grandpa, Lin is a plan that I came up with by chance, Grandpa has told me a lot, the world will be chaotic, and you should gradually accumulate strength. Lin thought, wouldn't it be a good thing if I could make the three knives available to me and deal with some inconvenient matters for my Chen family. Chen Lin said.

"Well, Arin thinks wisely, and I'm very relieved. What if the three knives can't be used by my Chen family? ”

"If you don't know what to do after three swords, you will kill them. Then you can also use its head to say to Yuan County Lieutenant, after three knives did not return to the Savage Ridge, but came to Chenjia Village, just by the patrol of the village to bump into the courtyard, a fight to take the head, dedicated to the county lieutenant. Thinking about Yuan County's white head, he didn't want to be entangled. ”

"Hehehe, well, okay, but I'm worried a lot, you have a plan, just do it, Grandpa supports you." The old lady seemed to see that his unfulfilled dream had been realized in Chen Lin. It seems that he was right to give up his son Chen Li, and Yue Dai paid attention to his grandson Chen Lin in advance. Chen Li is generous and honest, and he has done a very good job as a county magistrate, but he lacks a trace of enterprising and domineering, but Chen Lin's eclectic arrogance can achieve great things.

At dawn the next day, when Chen Lin returned from Mr. Lu after reading the book, he took out the horses and went straight to the countryside to Dingguan Village, and the matter of three knives should be solved as soon as possible. Chen Lin thought to himself, if he can use it for himself, he should have an arrangement, if he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he should simply kill it as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news, and the Chen family will have to toss it, which will affect his career.

As mentioned before, Mrs. Chen built a Chenjiabao in Dingguan Village, a square Chenjiabao, the width and length are all hundreds of zhang, the wall is more than two zhang high, and the width is four or five feet thick. When Chen Lin saw his fortress for the first time, he was very surprised, and thought that if he and my 200 men defended it, there would be no four or five thousand people, and he would not want to break through Chenjiabao. Now Chenjiabao is still thickened and reinforced, more than 700 tenant farmers in Dingguan Village, after the farm is busy, it will be used to transport stones to build the wall, if it is not for the law, the old lady Chen is afraid to build taller than the county seat.

Chen Lin hurried up, and arrived at Chenjiabao in Dingguan Village in less than half an hour. In recent months, there have been hundreds of fourteen or fifteen young people in Dingguan Village, and the tenant farmers can hear the faint sound of practicing from Chenjiabao all day long. Chen Lin is not afraid that the tenant farmers in the village will leak the news, the tenant farmers in the village are all slaves of the Chen family, where there is still their own land, if there is no permission from the master's family, they will not dare to go out of the village, some tenant farmers come to cut the burden of timber to sell in the city, and they must inform the people arranged by the Chen family in the village.

Now Huang Long, the head of the nursing home, and Chen Bao, the chief housekeeper, are in Dingguan Village, and when they saw Chen Lin approaching, they hurriedly came to visit, Chen Lin has always been kind and close to the family, and he has also won the recognition of the family. Chen Lin asked: "Uncle Yishan, there is something wrong with this Chen Jiabao, Grandpa will come here to recuperate in the future, don't be sloppy." "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, no matter who the other party was, as long as there was a table word, it was necessary to call the table word, except for relatives, otherwise it was uneducated and did not know the etiquette.

Of course, Chen Bao and Chen Yishan, as subordinates, did not have such treatment, and it was entirely out of respect that Chen Lin called him to express his words. changed the masters of other families, and replaced the next family with "you slave", Chen Lin has never been like this.

The chief housekeeper saw Chen Lin and asked, Chen Bao has been in the Chen family for many years, and he knows that the master is polite to you, but he can't trust his identity, so he hurriedly replied: "The eldest young master is relieved, everything is fine, the slave and the Huang Huyuan are here, and they have won the trust of the old lady, and they dare not be careless on the orders of the old lady." ”

Chen Lin thanked the two of them and said, "In this way, I have thanked the two of you on behalf of Grandpa, and you have worked hard for my Chen family for many years." ”

Chen Bao Huanglong dared to accept the worship of the young master, and his heart was moved, he was fortunate to have this master's family, and he was busy kneeling down. Chen Lin saw it, but he held up the two of them with both hands, the master and the servant, which was so warm and touching.

After that, Chen Lin spoke: "Take me there, where are the people I ordered the nursing home to send here yesterday?" Chen Bao hurriedly responded: "Yesterday, the two guards sent that person, and the slave stayed in a secret room in the fort, knowing that this person was important, the slave stopped the bleeding for him, took the pulse, and poured some medicine, and did not alarm others, only the two members of the nursing home, the slave and the Huang Nursing Institute knew about it." ”

Chen Lin nodded, the big housekeeper is the big housekeeper, and he does things without leakage, so Chen Lin followed Chen Bao inside. After a while, Chen Lin saw the two members of the nursing home standing outside the room meticulously, thinking that it would be three knives inside, Chen Lin nodded again to affirm the due diligence of the nursing home. When the two members of the nursing home saw Chen Lin, they hurriedly saluted and did not say anything.

Chen Lin waved his hand: "Open the door" The nursing courtyard took out the key and opened the door, only to see him draw a knife, block in front of Chen Lin, and enter first, only to hear the voice after a while: "Young Master, please come in" The descendants of the Chen family always moved Chen Lin.

Chen Lin walked in, the courtyard had been lit, and by the faint light of the fire, Chen Lin saw a person sitting on the ground with his back against the wall in the corner, and he was looking at Chen Lin with disdain.

Chen Lin didn't mind, and arched his hand at Guo Sandao: "The kid is Chen Lin of Anyang Chen Mansion, there is no expression yet, my father is the order of Anyang County, and he is polite." ”

Guo Sandao laughed: "A certain Sandao went south and north, and was abused and disdained everywhere, and I didn't want to meet a scholar today." Next to him, Huang Long was about to draw his knife and shouted: "Bold." After three knives, he was not afraid to raise his head: "If you want to kill, you have to scrape, don't be wordy." ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person is also a man, this person is a thief, it's a pity, wait for me to ask: "Hmph, murder and arson, lawlessness, I have to kill you and have a grudge." ”

After listening to it three times, he laughed again: "Hahaha, killing? Can you see this doll? ”

Chen Lin also didn't expect the three knives to answer him like this, but he was a little surprised, Chen Lin looked at the three knives and his expression didn't seem to be fake, could it be that there was a hidden secret in this, so he asked: "Everyone said, after three knives to kill the master and become a bandit, and the four are harmful, is it fake?" ”

After three knives, Chen Lin asked, the little child didn't seem to have a plan to harm him, if he wanted to kill him, he had already been cut on the battlefield yesterday, and he was not afraid to tell him the truth: "Hmph, but I said that I killed the master with three knives, but I don't know how harsh the master's family is, a certain family accidentally knocked over a wooden barrel, and was going to beat a certain stick to death, and a certain resistance accidentally killed him by mistake." After that, he fled in all directions, even if he had to go up the mountain to become a bandit, he never killed a single person, and there were many subordinates who were restrained from committing murder, and they only grabbed some food every time. ”

Chen Lin and everyone in the room were shocked, what the three swords said was far from what was rumored outside. Chen Lin hurriedly asked: "Why did the outside world say that the three knives were cruel and harmed people's lives?" ”

After listening to it three times, Hahaha laughed miserably, and said hatefully: "Nonsense, it's just that those officials and soldiers can't be destroyed, killing people in the countryside and risking military merit, poor innocent people, hahahaha." Guo Sandao said with a chill, and then said: "The son can see that he went down the mountain this time, but he just wanted some food, burned a few haystacks, and scared and frightened the tenant farmers, but did he hurt one person?" ”

Chen Lin was so frightened that he retreated again and again, Chen Bao Huanglong hurriedly held on, Chen Lin turned around and shook his head at Chen Bao: "Impossible, impossible." Looking back at the three knives again, seeing the three knives with an awe-inspiring expression, Chen Lin struggled in his heart, as if he didn't want to believe what the three knives said.

Chen Bao was very heartbroken when he saw Chen Lin like this, the eldest young master didn't know the darkness of the world. Chen Bao remembered the old lady's explanation, Chen Lin is kind-hearted, does not know the danger, and will definitely suffer losses in the future, so he should recognize the world and be vigilant, so Chen Bao said to Chen Lin: "Young master, there are really some tricks among the officers and soldiers, and it seems that what has been described by the three knives is not false." ”

Chen Lin lives in the shelter of the Chen family and does not know the danger, but it is not that he is vulnerable, when Chen Bao said this, he came back to his senses, stepped forward and bowed to the three knives: "The kid has a lot of misunderstandings, I hope don't blame the future generations." ”

Huang Long saw Chen Lin approaching the three swords, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Young Master, there are some martial arts in the three swords, be careful." But he was repelled by Chen Lin.

After three knives, I felt that this young master in Huayi was indeed different from other families, but now I see that it is indeed different, people like myself who can be called pariahs are actually very easy to be content and grateful, if it is not a last resort, who is willing to do those things that are insulted. Guo Sandao just couldn't understand why the eldest young master of the Chen family secretly locked himself up and didn't give it to the officers and soldiers.

After three knives, Chen Lin saw Huang Long's movements, and bowed to himself, the seven-foot man with three knives was full of splashes, and he knelt down urgently: "You can't deserve your life, you can't deserve it." After that, you may think of your poor half of your life, and cry bitterly.

Although Guo Sandao has been a strongman for many years, he is used to wandering freely, but it is difficult to change the servility of the poor family in his bones.

Chen Lin and Guo Sandao talked in the secret room for almost two hours, and learned that there was a cottage on Sandao Savage Ridge, and there were 157 young men in the village. Later, Chen Lin and Guo Sandao secretly talked about something, but no one knew except Chen Bao Huanglong. I only know that after three knives and recuperated in Chenjiabao for half a month, I disappeared, and half a year later, Anyang County reported that three knives were active in Zhaoling and Xinxi counties.
