"Don't wronged the good people, we just came to take a look, why do you want to arrest us?!" Chen Xuan said as he backed down and tried to defend himself.

But the other party still didn't give up, pressing step by step, "Since you admit that he is your friend, then you must be in a group." This person is now under investigation by Xunyang Mansion because he secretly possessed the items of the anti-thief. ”

It was simply unnecessary, Chen Xuan felt that he had already left his anger.

However, considering Chen Fangguo's safety, he could only suppress his anger for the time being, and wait until everything was clear.

"This boss, I am indeed his friend, but I am not in the same group as him. I was just passing by when I saw that you had sealed this place. So I want to know what you've found......

"Nonsense, is this what you should ask?!"

The soldier was about to slap Chen Xuan, but he dodged it lightly.

The soldier was annoyed and angry, and was about to stab Chen Xuan with a gun, but at this extremely urgent moment, he was stopped by a person who looked like an official.

It was with the person who came at the first sight, and suddenly bent into a shrimp, nodded and said, "Lord Prefect, I caught the same party of the anti-thief......"

It really makes sense, when did Chen Fangguo become a thief, didn't he just open a pawn shop, as for catching the thief with such fanfare.

If he has become a thief now, then I am afraid that the vast majority of people in the Great Chu Empire have become opposed.

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more angry he became, he really wanted to take out the Tiger Sword and split these guys in two.

But his father once warned him not to have dealings with people in the government, let alone have any festivals.

Otherwise, they really can't eat and walk around, and this is how their current situation is caused.

"Who's coming?!" the official-looking man glanced at Chen Xuan and asked.

"I am the Jiangzhou Yimen Chen family, and the young family master Chen Xuan is also ......," Chen Xuan immediately bowed down and replied.

He didn't know where he learned this set, and he felt that when he was dealing with him, it seemed that he couldn't learn the one in the officialdom.

"You are Chen Xuan?!" the official continued to ask, a little unsure.

"It's under ......"

After Chen Xuan's words, he originally thought that the officials would know his true identity, so they would definitely tie her up immediately, and then send her to the prison to listen to the sentence.

When the official heard this, his face suddenly became much better, and he hurriedly said to the soldier: "This prince is the guest I am looking for, and I invite him to the back room to talk......

The soldier who was about to arrest Chen Xuan didn't turn around all of a sudden, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his commander blowing his beard and glaring at him, he suddenly understood what he meant.

Hurriedly walked in front of Chen Xuan, and also nodded and said to him: "This young master, I just knew that I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, you must not be like a small general......

Chen Xuan smiled coldly in his heart, how can I be as knowledgeable as a person like you? A person like you is a dog in my eyes, not even a dog is as good as a dog, and you also know that you are a chameleon who cares for the house and is loyal to your master.

"This official, dare to ask your honorable name, I, Chen Xuan, have never known you, how do you know that I am you looking for a guest?!" Chen Xuan was very puzzled and asked.

The official looked left and right, and said to Chen Xuan with a smile: "Chen Gongzi, this official is also surnamed Chen, and his name is Chen Shimei...... is a disciple of Jiangzhou Yimen Chen, who has been the prefect of Xunyang City for less than half a year. Indeed, I have been entrusted to seek you again...... It's not convenient to talk here, so don't go to my palace to talk. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Chen. I, Chen Xuan, am just a grass people, and I don't have an official position, how dare I be on an equal footing with you?!" Chen Xuan said humbly.

"You're kind to say that. We were a family five hundred years ago, and now I am entrusted by others to look for you everywhere in Xunyang City. I didn't expect it to be really, there was nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. ”

"Haha, it seems that Lord Chen is really polite, so since Lord Chen is invited, the small one is also gracious. ”

After speaking, Chen Xuan was going to follow him.

Who knew that this made Deng Qianyue anxious, and she hurriedly shouted: "Fellow practitioner Chen Xuan, how can you leave me here alone like this?!"

Deng Qianyue's words reminded Chen Xuan, and with a hint of apology, she said to Chen Shimei: "Lord Chen is really embarrassed. I originally made an appointment to go to the countryside, but I didn't expect to be invited to your mansion by you after watching the excitement here...... And what about my friend?!"

Chen Shimei looked at Deng Qianyue and the carriage next to her, and quickly guessed a ** point, and said meaningfully: "I'm really dissatisfied with your little brother, even if you don't meet me today, you can't go out of the city." ”

"Lord Chen, why is this?!" Chen Xuan was confused by his words, and hurriedly asked.

"We have a group of anti-thieves running in Xunyang City, this official is on the order of Shangfeng, and the whole city is searching for ...... here."

"Oh, that's the case, dare to ask where those thieves are?!" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Chen Shimei thought for a while and said: "These anti-thief children have no mother, it's a long story, it's not a sentence or two that can be said clearly, you better go back with me first." By the way, which of your friends can you discuss with them, they can't get out of the city today anyway, so it's not too late to go out of the city tomorrow. ”

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Please wait for a while, and I'll discuss it with them." ”

After speaking, he turned around and said to Deng Qianyue: "Master Chen has already reminded me just now, we can't get out of the city today, and we have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, do you want to go with me first?!"

Deng Qianyue was full of disappointment, sighed, and said, "Otherwise, I'll go back first, and return the car by the way, and you can talk to this friend of yours first...... By the way, do you need to cancel your leave in the Martial Academy?!"

Chen Xuan thought for a while and said: "This is yours, if you want to go back tomorrow, you don't have to sell it, if you don't go back tomorrow, then you can help me sell it today." ”

"Alright then, I'll go back first...... You're done here, you can inform me about something. ”

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, it's a trivial matter." ”

After speaking, the two broke up, and Chen Zhong got out of the car and stayed with Chen Xuan.

"This is?!" Chen Shimei pointed at Chen Zhong and asked Chen Xuandao.

"My lord, this is my family, named Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong hadn't seen Master Chen yet. Chen Xuan pointed at Chen Shimei and said to Chen Zhong.

"The little one has seen Lord Chen......"

"Hurry up and please, don't make such a big gift, everyone is a family, a family doesn't talk to two families, what's polite. If you are polite, if the official is not happy, I am afraid that he will arrest you again......"

Hearing him say this, Chen Xuan suddenly said happily: "Could it be that Lord Chen wants to arrest us and treat us as anti-thieves?!"

"Haha, do you look at the straw bales like this official?! That's right, in our current Great Chu Empire, there are really too many straw bales like that, they usually arrest innocent people, and then I have always despised these people who are sent to the top......

Chen Shimei's words made Chen Xuan listen to it and feel very reasonable, but he has never been particularly interested in things in officialdom, so he should listen to it.

Within an hour, they took Chen Shimei's carriage to his mansion, which was a dilapidated and unrenovated house with thousands of rotten tiles, and it seemed that this man should be considered a clean official, because at least he did not decorate his mansion in splendor.

As a magistrate, he doesn't need to speak, or even hint at him, someone will help him dig out the money, and then tidy it up and decorate it well.

After seeing all this clearly, Chen Xuan was immediately full of good feelings for this Lord Chen, thinking that in today's Great Chu Empire, there are really too few good officials like him, and they are almost inferior.

Could it be that today's chance encounter with him is in a sense providential, and it seems that it is really providential, so there is nothing to say.

"Welcome to the Humble House, it really makes Peng Sheng shine. ”

"Lord Chen is really too polite, the age gap between me and you is almost the same as father and son, don't be so polite. ”

"Gongzi Chen, no, Brother Chen. Allow me to call you that, I came to you for dinner, just to tell you something...... This is highly confidential, and you should never tell anyone else. ”

Chen Xuan quickly understood what he meant, it must be the county lord Ji Ruohua who entrusted him, and then found himself through him.

When they came to the living room and the three of them sat down, Chen Xuan stood up and asked respectfully, "Lord Chen, there are no outsiders here." Can you let me guess first, dare to ask if it is the daughter of the current emperor, the county lord Ji Ruohua, who entrusted you to come to me?!"

Chen Shimei nodded and said, "It was the county lord who entrusted me to come to you, and this matter is still relatively urgent." ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Xuan's heart suddenly tightened, thinking that it couldn't be that he was in some trouble, could it be that the Supreme God Emperor knew about his own affairs?!

In this way, our Yimen Chen family is afraid that it will suffer even more.

"Then please tell me quickly, I have to think of a way, or I will miss her business. Chen Xuan said anxiously.

"That's right. I'll tell you the truth, I'm the county lord's man......"

"You're her person, what does this mean?!" Chen Xuan felt that it sounded a little awkward, so he hurriedly asked.

Chen Shimei nodded a little embarrassedly, and then explained: "That is to say, there are many gangs in today's imperial court, and I belong to their side, so I can be regarded as their person, that is, the emperor's person." ”

Now it was Chen Xuan's turn to be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, Master Chen is a young talent...... If you don't understand enough, then you can talk about it. ”

"Okay. Since the county lord's trip to Jiangzhou, she returned to Shendu and reported the situation of her trip to Jiangzhou to her father. Her father, the Emperor, felt very guilty after reading Mr. Chen's love letter. You know this, he shouldn't have forcibly split Yimen Chen in the first place. So much so that today in the Great Chu Empire, several other families continue to grow bigger...... However, in view of the current situation, the God Emperor continued to force the palace...... In addition, several other families collude with each other and use each other. He soon realized that his position was about to crumble. Therefore, he wanted to reactivate Yimen Chen...... But at present, it is difficult. ”

Hearing his words, Chen Xuan felt very puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "What do you say about Lord Chen? At present, although we have been divided into all parts of the country, there are also thousands of people, and if these thousands of people are regrouped, it will also be a force that cannot be underestimated. ”

Chen Shimei sighed, shook her head and said: "It seems that the little brother is indeed not a person in officialdom, and you really don't know anything about the style of officialdom. There are many things, in fact, they are not decided simply by the number of people, but by the right time, place, people, and ......."

"But Master Chen, I don't understand what you're saying. But I know that our Yimen Chen has a large population at the moment, and we can fully compete with their influence......"

Chen Shimei smiled and said: "Of course I believe this, because my surname is also Chen, and I believe that there are many pillars of the country in our Yimencheng...... Just like Brother Chen, you will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future. ”

"Thank you very much for Lord Chen's kind words, I don't have such lofty ambitions, I'm just a small ordinary person, I just hope to have a bowl of rice to eat in the future, and to be a high-level martial artist, then I will be satisfied. Of course, I also hope to be able to ask for an explanation for our righteous door, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm really dead. ”

Chen Xuan's words made Chen Shimei very moved when she heard it.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chen Xuan: "Actually, you are still very young, you are as old as me, and there are many things that you understand." It is really rare for people to live in this world, and others say that you are good. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Don't talk about anyone else, just let me talk about it. I used to do a good job as an official here, but there are a small number of people who use me as a topic. slandered me as an ungrateful corrupt official, and they even teased me while filming, saying that I was finally beheaded by a Qing official, and then toured all over the country. Therefore, the current Great Chu Empire knows that there is such an ungrateful person as me, but everyone in my neighborhood knows what kind of person I am, and they don't think so. ”

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Lord Chen, it seems that you are really too worried. As a small citizen, I have never heard of this matter. So you may be overestimating their energy. There is a saying that the people naturally have a scale in their hearts, whether it is the emperor or your government officials, everyone can see it clearly, clearly, the good is good, the bad is bad, there is really nothing to say, even if you are very powerful now, but after a few years, what should be done or what, everything will be restored. ”

"I didn't expect the little brother to be so young, and he knew so many big truths, it seems that the county lord really didn't underestimate you. When she first started telling me about you, I was very unimpressed, thinking to myself, what can you accomplish at such a young age? I didn't expect to hear the words of the little brother just now, I suddenly became enlightened, there were a lot of things that I couldn't figure out before, but now I can figure it out, this is really strange, it seems that there is still a little fate between me and you. Chen Shimei smiled and said.

"Lord Chen has really won the award, so let's get down to business, what did the county lord say. ”

"Okay, I'm not going to say anything else. When the official was in the court a few days ago, the county lord found me, and he told me that you were in Xunyang City. When I find you, I must take good care of you......"

Hearing Chen Shimei say this, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a burst of heat in his heart, thinking that this county lord Ji Ruohua is really a careful person.

"Thank you, Lord County, thank you, Lord Chen. ”

"In addition, she wants me to help you and continue to find out about the anti-thieves in Wangjia Village. I heard that you have trapped Yuwen Li'er, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, there, right?!"

Chen Xuan smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Yes, he is known as the most powerful beast tamer in our Great Chu Empire, and there are hundreds of thousands of gangs below, and the villagers are all evil. Later, I met our group, but we were wiped out, and tens of thousands of people ......"

Chen Xuan remembered a few fierce battles near Xingzi Station and Wangjia Village, and couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud in his heart, thinking that this Yuwen Li'er was just like this, a wreck.

"Daddy Chen, you must not underestimate him, or you must not underestimate the power behind him......"

"Of course I won't underestimate him, because their Yuwen family can be regarded as calling for wind and rain in our Great Chu Empire. ”

"That's right, there are several major families in our entire empire today, including the Shangguan family, the Li family, the Yuwen family and the Yang family, if you add our Chen family, then our Great Chu Empire is basically monopolized by these families. It's a pity that in recent years, our Chen family has not had good luck, but it is going downhill day by day. ”

"Yes. Chen Xuan secretly clenched his fists and said.

"Not long ago, the Divine Emperor sent several people to completely solve Yimen Chen's. However, due to various coincidences, their plot did not succeed. Among them, this Yuwen Li'er is a ......"

"I've found evidence of their family's rebellion. ”

Seeing him say this, Chen Xuan simply opened the window and said something bright, and he no longer hid it.

Chen Shimei nodded and said, "Of course I know this, because the county lord told me." And judging from the current situation, this matter is not over yet, and it will continue to ferment...... In other words, those big families, especially the Yuwen family, will completely expose this matter under the guise of avenging their eldest son...... If you ask the righteous Chen Xingshi about the crime, I am afraid that our family will be in great trouble at that time. I wonder if I can take this person to the capital first, and then stop them. ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, if you hand him over to them, I'm afraid it's really Wang Ba entering the sea, and we won't ......be able to master it anymore," Chen Xuan thought for a while and said.

"And what do you have to do?!"

"To tell you the truth, Master Chen, I don't have any particularly good ways right now. At that time, because we couldn't find a good way, we temporarily imprisoned him in an underground cave in Wangjia Village. I'm going to go over today and look it out again...... Unexpectedly, your soldiers disrupted the whole plan. Of course, it is a great thing for me to meet you, and I should be happy. ”

"If you don't send him to the capital, in fact, I think it's okay, because I also hoped not to send him there first, and my worries are the same as yours. If that's the case, I think we can move him somewhere else......," Ms. Chen said.

"What do you mean?!"

"I haven't thought of a good place yet, can you give some advice to this official?!"

Chen Xuan nodded and said: "Actually, I think our Xunyang City is a good place, after locking him in one place, and then serving him with good food and drink, by the way, ask him a little detail of the rebellion, and send him to the capital when necessary...... What do you think, sir?!"

"Do you know why we closed down that pawn shop today?!" Chen Shimei did not answer Chen Xuan's words, but asked directly.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it the pawn shop opened by my brother?!"

"Why are you so sure that your brother opened a pawn shop?!" Chen Shimei laughed.

"We discussed it yesterday, and he said that he would open a pawn shop in Xunyang Academy...... I didn't expect it to be seized by you as soon as it opened. ”

Chen Shimei shook her head and said: "It seems that you really misunderstood, what we seized today is indeed a pawn shop, but the owner is not surnamed Chen ......."

"So it shouldn't be him?!"

"It's not that his shopkeeper's surname is Wang, it's a wealthy man in Xunyang City...... But I'm afraid this guy is going to be out of luck. Chen Shimei said.

"What do you mean?!"

"Someone found a roster in his pawn shop, which recorded all the fugitives wanted by the Great Chu Empire, and many of them were heinous. Of course, there are actually some anti-thieves, and we don't say anything. ”

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Actually, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......"

"Tell me quickly. ”

"Otherwise, ask the government to simply confiscate this pawnshop and auction it off. Didn't my brother just want to open a pawn shop? Let him take over......" Chen Xuan said with wishful thinking in his heart.
