Gao Lei was secretly happy, and hurriedly said: "We dare to swear to the sky, if there is half a word of falsehood, let us thunder and split in the sky, and we will not die well!" ”

"There is no need for thunder to slash down, one knife is enough!" Chen Juge smiled, and suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife that Qian Mu hung on his waist, and swung the knife like the wind, cutting through Gao Lei's throat, like a rabbit rising and falling, without dragging mud and water.

Gao Lei's eyes widened, he raised his hand to point at Chen Ju, his mouth snorted, blood gushed wildly, but he couldn't say a word, for a long time, he slowly fell to the ground, making a "poof" sound.

"Father-"

"Master—"

The people in the shed were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and wanted to ask, but they didn't know how to speak.

"Remember, the seal was stolen by Gao Lei, Gao Lei was treacherous, betrayed the lord for glory, and died innocently...... Send the body to Jingle Hall, after all, it is a good burial with our brothers...... Chen Mo, you come with us! Chen Juyun was light, and after the order was completed, he slowly walked out of the firewood shed, without the slightest wave on his face, as if Shicai did not kill someone, but trampled an ant to death.

Gao Zhong is nearly seventy years old, already old, most of the daily things are handled by Chen Ju, for convenience, Chen Ju lives in a single courtyard not far from Gao Zhong's study.

This is a small courtyard, three main rooms, the inside is still spacious, the middle is the hall, the east is the bedroom, the west is placed many bookshelves, there are thousands of books neatly placed on the top, the ink fragrance is strong, as soon as he enters, Chen Mo only feels relaxed and happy, there is a feeling that the soul has been sublimated.

"There are no outsiders here, can you tell you honestly, did you steal the seal?" In front of the desk, Chen Ju was sitting precariously and looked at Chen Mo kneeling in front of him: "If you only tell the truth one sentence in your life, our family hopes to be this one." ”

Chen Mo knew why Chen Ju wanted to kill Gao Lei, and in his memory of inheriting the ontology, it was clearly recorded that the fundamental reason why he went to Zhang Dashou's mansion that time was not as Gao Lei imagined, but was entrusted by Chen Ju to do an unsightly thing: return a fan painted with the authentic paintings of flowers and birds of Song Huizong to Zhang Dashou.

The fan is priceless, when Zhang Dashou gave it to Chen Ju, and why he gave it to Chen Ju, he doesn't know this, and he thinks that it is nothing more than an unsavory promise exchanged in private.

In the past, Chen Mo may not know why Chen Ju chose to do such an important thing by himself, but now Chen Mo understands very well that it is nothing more than because his low status is not easy to attract attention, but Gao Lei mentioned it, naturally he is killing himself.

"It's not!" Chen Mo replied affirmatively, he is not the foolish Chen Mo before, the experience of the past and present lives adds up to almost fifty years, so he doesn't have to hesitate at all: "The uncle trusts the villain and has the grace to carry him, how dare the villain deceive the uncle?" Moreover," he hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "Gonggong Feng, they are looking at the scenery in front of them, in fact, it is just a yellow flower of tomorrow, and a catastrophe will come soon, the villain is not stupid, he is afraid to avoid it at this time, how can he go up?" ”

Few superiors like subordinates who are too smart, Chen Mo said this at a huge risk, no way, the extra time bomb in the crotch reminded him that he must get ahead as soon as possible, only then can he have a room of his own, and the risk of exposing secrets can be minimized - he didn't think about escaping from the palace, but, with his current identity, I'm afraid that he will have to be arrested if he can't even get out of the city gate.

Now, although it is a bit risky, his identity is too far away from Chen Ju, and it will not be dangerous to him at all, but it may make him value himself more, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"How?" Chen Ju's sparse eyebrows jumped.

"Taishi Zhang has gone!" Chen Mo said.

"And then ......?"

"Long live Lord is already in power, and Gonggong Feng doesn't seem to realize this."

Chen Ju nodded imperceptibly: "Very good, our family really didn't misunderstand you." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "It's been more than two years since your father-in-law died, right?" ”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "It's been two and a half years!" In my memory, it was a eunuch who looked older than Gao Zhong, who used to be the steward of the kitchen of Gaofu, with a strange personality, and under his hands, Chen Mo suffered enough.

"Every one of our people, unless they reach a certain status, otherwise, without the care of their father-in-law, they are like duckweed without roots, bullied. You are very good, our family wants to accept you as a righteous son, are you willing? ”

If you refuse, I'm afraid you will appear in Jingle Hall tomorrow morning, just like that Gao Lei, right? Chen Mo tried his best to make the surprise on his face more natural, and while kowtowing again and again, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

It is said that the friendship of the royal family is different from the world, isn't it the same between eunuchs? History is written in books, and even people like Chen Ju, who is praised as a "Buddha", have had the idea of betraying his father-in-law.

Exploiting, exploiting each other, although cloaked in a gorgeous coat, still cannot hide the ugliness in it.

For the future, Chen Mo may have had a beautiful vision, especially at the moment when he rode his horse and galloped on the empty streets of the capital, but at the moment when Gao Lei was ruthlessly killed by Chen Ju, it was already in ashes. He understands that good things are in the future, and now, although he escaped by luck, he is still living in dire straits, and if he is not careful, the end will be a catastrophe.

"Good!" Chen Ju was very happy, and actually got up and picked up Chen Mo with his own hands: "Count you, our family already has five righteous sons, the second and fourth will go early, in the future, you have to be closer to your eldest brother and third brother...... By the way, you're not too young, and you don't have a table yet, right? In this way, the father has nothing to give you, so I will give you two words, 'few words', what do you think? ”

"Chen Mo, few words?" Chen Mo chuckled in his heart, and fell to his knees: "Thank you for your name!" ”

"Alright, get up!" Chen Ju said: "Since your fourth brother has been in charge alone, there has been a lack of a waiter for your father's side, and when you move your things over, you will live in the room where your fourth brother used to live." ”

"Yes!" This was an unexpected joy, Chen Mo hurriedly nodded.

"Go down and clean up, and tell your fourth brother later, he is in charge of the kitchen, you are recovering from a serious illness, let him make you some delicious supplements." Chen Ju waved his hand to see off the guests, smiling and warm, like Chen Mo's neighbor Uncle Li in later generations.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, you said that you will be deflated, why do you still throw Lao Tzu's valve needle away? Isn't it just a little noisy at night, and you're so naughty? Chen Mo suddenly remembered the scene when he lowered his head to look for the valve pin, and already understood that the sudden roar should come from a fast-moving car, otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to come to this Daming to take a walk, thinking about it, his feelings for Uncle Li suddenly became complicated.

Chen Mo's residence is in the backyard of Gaofu, a row of low west houses not far from the stables, a room for four people, cold in winter and hot in summer.

The sun is rising, it is the busiest time of the day, the windows are open for ventilation, and only the night shift is sleeping, quietly, in stark contrast to the busy scenes in other parts of the house.

Chen Mo walked to the northernmost point, pushed the door in, and collided with a person, who was stunned: "Chen Mo? You're not...... How......? "It's none other than Wang Hai, who accused him of going to the toilet in the middle of the night.
