Chapter 044: Hitting people only in the face
Today, the main gate of Chen's Mansion was opened, and a group of clansmen came out, led by an old man who was not angry and arrogant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This old man is Chen Tiannan, the current head of the Chen family, and he is a big man in this city. Although there are four major families in Ningzhou, the Qi and Mo families are only rising stars, and their heritage is not deep enough, and it is the Chen and Kong families who can really have a certain status in the world. Among them, the Chen family has the most solid foundation, known as "Heaven lacks gilt bottles, and the immortals come to invite Ningzhou Chen", which shows that the Chen family is rich in the world.
Originally, it was difficult for the Chen family's trade route to get through to Shangjing, a place full of powerful people, but after the marriage of the lord of Wu Wangfu, this trade route was also successfully opened. Ningzhou Chen not only earns the silver of the world, but also extends its tentacles into the mansions of princes and nobles.
Chen Tiannan was originally a cloth cloth and had no fame, but in the past two years, he has been in the past two years, and he has been stunned to get an official body of Ningzhou Inspector Imperial History, coupled with the identity of the imperial businessman, he has also been mixed up and prosperous, step by step.
The person in the top position has been cultivating his spirit for a long time, and Chen Tiannan now has a trace of the aura of power, and he is more and more feared in Ningzhou City, but today he covered up that bit of arrogance, walked down the steps with a respectful face, came to the young man and arched his hand: "I don't know that His Highness is coming, and the old man has not been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Among the group behind him were his son, his brothers, and his confidants, all of whom saluted together with great respect.
Su Ke tilted his head slightly, looked at this group of Chen clansmen, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Tiannan, and said slowly: "What is the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, worthy of such importance from the Lord Chen?"
His voice was soft, but his words were heavy.
Although Chen Tiannan was mentally prepared, he didn't expect that the little prince would sneer at such a sneer, so he saluted again, bowed very low, and said in fear: "Why does Your Highness say this? If the Chen family has done something wrong, please punish Your Highness." ”
Su Ke casually reached out and stroked Shenjun's mane, and sneered: "I heard that your Chen clan is covering the sky with one hand in Ningzhou, how dare I punish you, wouldn't it be fatal." ”
Although Chen Tiannan is over sixty years old, his body is still very strong, he can't stand up straight, and his tone is very solemn: "Your Highness is serious, the Chen family is in Ningzhou to keep to themselves, if any clansmen dare to ignore the law and discipline and commit adultery, the ancestral clan law will be severely punished and will not be tolerated." The nobles in the Meng Dynasty were blue-eyed, and Chen's business was becoming more and more prosperous, so he was even more grateful and did not dare to make a mistake. ”
Su Ke let out an "oh", looked at the two vermilion characters "Chen Mansion" on the door plaque, squinted his eyes slightly, and said: "The nobles of the court, scare me? Do you think that the Chen family has the protection of those powerful people in the court, so I don't dare to demolish your mansion?"
The expressions of the clansmen behind Chen Tiannan were different, some were worried, and some were angry and surprised.
However, Chen Tiannan said calmly: "If the demolition of this Chen Mansion can make His Royal Highness happy, it will be so light." ”
Su Ke can be regarded as seeing the old spicy of the head of the Chen family, and under his own ridicule and threat, he can still stand still like a mountain, and he can afford to put it down, and he can be regarded as a talent. However, because of this, he couldn't understand why Chen Tiannan let his eldest sister live so hard because he knew how to advance and retreat so much? Could he really think that the emperor was far away, and he and Lao Su were in Shangjing, so what could he do with him?
"Zhang Qingbai, did you hear that?" he asked expressionlessly.
The general behind him arched his hand and said: "The last general understands, and this Chen Mansion will be demolished in a while." ”
At this time, someone in the Chen clan finally couldn't help it, and a young disciple said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, the head of our family is your elder, how can you be so unprovoked and humiliated?
Chen Tiannan frowned and said, "Qianshan, shut up!"
Su Ke ignored the young man, only looked at Chen Tiannan and said, "Since you are a reasonable person, then I have to ask for advice, did my eldest sister marry into your Chen Mansion, did she insult your Chen family's lintel?"
Chen Tiannan shook his head and said: "Don't dare, the big county lord is marrying the Chen family, this is the glory of our Chen family." ”
Su Ke couldn't hold back the anger in his chest anymore, and said in a loud voice: "In that case, how dare you let her live in that kind of dilapidated mansion? How dare you let her live so hard? How dare you let her disperse the people in the mansion for a few taels of broken silver? Chen Tiannan, do you want me to teach you how to behave!"
Chen Tiannan took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, Chen Anzhi is a concubine, and he has no clan position, according to the ancestral practice, after becoming a family, he can only fend for himself, this is the ancestral training of our Chen family." Because of the big county lord, I paid for him to settle a house, and I usually have a lot of help, so I have done my best. ”
"Zu Xun?"
Su Ke's brows furrowed deeply.
In fact, at the beginning, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but it was not worth it for the eldest sister, but he could see that the eldest sister had no grievances about the current life, so he didn't really want to demolish the Chen mansion. However, Chen Tiannan's words deeply angered him, and he couldn't help but feel a murderous aura in his heart.
There is never a shortage of silver in the palace, and if the eldest sister wants it, she can transport it to Ningzhou one by one, and spend it however she wants. So this matter is not serious, it is nothing more than that the little prince wants to use the topic to play. However, at this moment, the meaning of Chen Tiannan's words was that the lord of the big county could only live by his help, otherwise he would not be able to live such a hard life as he is now.
"I'm not here today to reason with you. The little prince's face was very solemn, which was actually very rare, because he was laughing and scolding most of the time.
Chen Tiannan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please make it clear." ”
Su Ke held the horsewhip in his right hand, waved it gently, and said word by word: "My eldest sister marries in Ningzhou, and she should enjoy better treatment than you, the head of the family." So I think this mansion doesn't need to be demolished, although the layout is a little smaller, but it can also be used for my eldest sister to live in. As for you, there are a lot of those little houses on the street next door, which are very suitable for you to live in. ”
He paused for a moment and said very coldly: "She can not want it, but you can't not give it." ”
The Chen clan's faces were not angry, obviously they were also arrogant and accustomed to the Ningzhou territory, when had they been trampled on their faces like this? But the thirty horsemen behind Su Ke all looked cold, exuding an invisible murderous aura, and it seemed that they would trample on the Chen Mansion if they disagreed with each other, so these people did not dare to act rashly.
After Chen Tiannan was silent for a moment, he looked up at Su Ke and said, "Old man wants to know, is this what the big county lord means?"
Su Ke sneered: "What? want to sue? Old man, let me tell you the truth, even if I slaughter you today, the eldest sister will not touch half of my hair, do you believe it or not?"
