Chapter 224: Beaten to Death with a Stick
Old Man Chen woke up faintly and immediately struggled to sit up, "Chang'an, let's say, there should be news over there, right?" ”
The gray-robed housekeeper frowned, looking at Old Man Chen's gray hair, his heart was unspeakably sour, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the sad color was revealed.
Old man Chen stared at Chang'an, seeing his appearance, it was dark in front of him, originally he was lucky, but now there is only endless coolness left, he forced himself to cheer up, and asked in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, Chang'an, people have to look forward, Fan Yang, it's really bold." The meaning of gritting teeth is beyond words.
He couldn't help but think that back then, what the old Taoist priest said about the prosperity of the Chen family would be a disaster, and he didn't believe it at the time, but it came true at this time.
"Old thief Fan hung the young master's body outside the mansion and convicted him of treason, and the rest of the people were also beheaded by him to show the public, the subordinates in the Chen Mansion, alas." Chang'an sighed, those subordinates were well-informed, and now many people are ready to escape.
"Okay, so bold, I've never seen them so eye-catching and so smart on weekdays! Life is the Chen family, death is the ghost of the Chen family, is the Chen family really about to fall? Pass my password, but whoever escapes will be beaten to death with a stick, and whoever dares to intercede will be punished together. Old Man Chen's old face appeared murderous, he was a dead son, these people did not want to serve the Chen family, but wanted to take advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives, which completely angered him.
"Hurry up and send someone to contact Fan Changsheng, Zhou Yuzhu and the two, especially Fan Fu, you will go on a journey in person later, the wind knows the strength of the grass, if these people care about the Chen family's feelings, they will definitely be ordered." After all, Mr. Chen went through the turmoil and immediately grasped the core point. As long as the military power is in hand, the big tree of the Chen family will not fall.
"Also. Contact me about the Wu family, the Chang family. The Xue family said that I would invite them to a banquet. Old Man Chen sat up, the more times like this, the more he couldn't fall, let alone show weakness.
"Sir, will they come?" Chang'an asked hesitantly, the remaining three families were very different from the Chen family on weekdays, especially after the Chen family became the first family, which overwhelmed the other three.
"Huh. They're coming, and I'm going to let Fan Lao Thief see who is the master of Gwangju!" Kill my son, and I will make him pay for his life. "Old Man Chen is full of confidence, Fan Yang suddenly did this, the Chen family is seriously damaged, but the other three families are also worried. The Chen family's big tree broke its branches, and it was even about to be beaten back to its original shape immediately, but as long as he was alive for a day. The Chen family will not fall. Comparatively speaking, Fan Yang has become the biggest threat.
"Master, you have to take care of your body." Chang An said worriedly that he relied on the Chen family to live. He has served the Chen family for two more generations, and has long been completely integrated into the Chen family.
"Chang'an, don't worry. When my father died, the Chen family was suppressed by the other three families. If you can still survive it, the situation at this time is much stronger than it was then. Old Man Chen's expression was a little more excited. I was sighing in my heart, at that time, the Chen family still had a future to speak of, but now it is a bigger crisis. He can't say this, then the Chen family will be scattered, and people's hearts will be scattered, which is the most terrible thing.
"Also, you must personally invite Fan Changsheng to come to Chen's mansion, he is impulsive and irritable, if he does something wrong in a daze, it will be irreparable." Old Man Chen instructed carefully, he was very familiar with Chen Guo's subordinates, and at this critical juncture, he must not make any more mistakes.
Chang'an answered, and then retreated on tiptoe.
When Chang'an closed the door, Old Man Chen lay down with his head down, and the old man burst into tears, "Old thief Fan, the old man and you don't share the sky!" "The pain of losing a child, only at this time no one dares to reveal it, at this moment he can't believe anyone, even Chang'an.
The more critical the moment, he can only force himself to show a calm and steady color in order to stabilize people's hearts. Old Man Chen is well versed in the way of royalty, and he will not be confused on this point.
Chang'an walked out of Old Man Chen's room, his expression immediately became hideous, summoned the people in the mansion, and went to the front hall, where there were five or six people who had been caught, all of whom only wanted to escape.
"Beat me to death with a stick!" Chang'an saw that the people were almost coming, and immediately ordered.
Immediately, a servant in the house walked out, holding a stick in his hand, these people are all domestic servants, they have long lost their household registration, and life and death are decided by the Chen Mansion, and there is no need to report to the official.
"Steward Liu, spare your life!" Immediately someone knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Chang'an's expression was cold, and he didn't care about it, this person is a little guy who serves Chen Guo on weekdays, he is clever and sensible, he didn't expect to use his brain here.
"The rules of the Chen Mansion, from the day you enter the mansion, you should know that since you dare to escape, it is betrayal, and those who are disloyal should be punished! Why don't you hurry up? Do you want me to do it myself? Chang'an shouted loudly, the rules of the Chen Mansion are strict, and they naturally have their own set of rules for managing these maids, and these people can't resist it.
The people with sticks on the left and right can only step forward, and they dare not disobey the order.
Covering the mouths of the six people, they fell to the ground, and immediately the sticks fell. This stick is three feet long, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and when it falls, it can make people's butts bloom.
"If they do something wrong, they will suffer the consequences. The Chen Mansion has always had clear rewards and punishments, and it is not easy to treat you, although the young master is gone, the Chen family is still there. I don't miss the grace of the Chen family, but I want to be alone and dream! Remember, you will always be members of the Chen family, and even if you die, you will be the ghost of the Chen family, and you will be buried in the Chen family's ground. Chang'an reprimanded, and the person who was touched by his gaze immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Let's all go down, do things seriously, the Chen family will not treat you badly, if you have any other intentions, the end will be the same as them!" Seeing that the six people were out of breath, Chang'an waved his hand and let these people retreat, and on weekdays, there was no need for these means to deter. As long as the Chen family rules are spoken, who dares to be unconvinced?
Not far from the Fan Mansion, the Spirit Swordsman stood quietly in the corner, this is the only way for the Chen Mansion to come here, as long as the news of Chen Guo's death reaches the Fan Mansion, Fan Changsheng will inevitably lead his troops into the City Lord's Mansion, and the only possible obstacle will come from the Chen family.
Not only does he understand Fan Changsheng's character, but the people of the Chen Mansion know more than him, as long as there are still people in the Chen Mansion who can take charge, I am afraid it is not difficult to think through this.
Fan Changsheng, who holds the military power, is the one who can support the Chen family.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the spirit swordsman in the distance saw the sign of the Chen Mansion, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he still knew this person.
He touched two poisonous lings in his hand and quickly threw them, and the person on horseback fell off the horse in response, which immediately caused panic among the people next to him.
Shaking his head, the spirit swordsman Yi Yiran walked out of the corner of the wall, he used the poison Ling from the city lord's mansion, and walked to the side of the fallen horse man in a few steps, stretched out his hand to probe, this person was really dead, so he picked up the body and left.
When he arrived at Fan's Mansion, Fan Changsheng was anxiously pacing back and forth, and when he saw the Spirit Swordsman coming back with a person, he immediately walked over.
"Let's take a look at this first, I just ran into it outside the Fan Mansion." The spirit swordsman said with a flat expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"What a thief, too much deception!" When Fan Changsheng touched the poison ling, he immediately became furious, he was familiar with the specifications of these hidden weapons.
"Brother Guo, I want to enter the City Lord's Mansion and avenge Chen Bingcao, are you willing to help me?" Fan Changsheng turned his head and asked.
"Okay, Chen Bingcao invited a contemptible banquet the day before yesterday, and he didn't dare to forget the kindness of a meal." The spirit swordsman said angrily.
"Well, I really didn't misread you, when the matter is over, we must have a good drink." Fan Changsheng laughed, if the spirit swordsman was unwilling, he would be his enemy. If the appearance is suspicious, he should be punished. (To be continued.) )
