At the gate of Yangcheng, Chen Sheng and them lined up to enter the city.

Chen Sheng closed his eyes and calculated the timeline in his heart, and he used his age as the base point to sort out the information of the second deduction.

He was born on September 17.

Today is the eighth year of the emperor's reign, September 11.

According to the second deduction, he would have injured someone today and then been detained for seven days.

In the case of wounding, Fa Cao Na was sentenced on the spot, and he was detained for seven days, that is, on September 18, and when he came out of it, he was exactly 18 years old.

Chen Sheng did a little calculation, and he knew that the age in the deducer was calculated based on his age.

[The government came to arrest you, and you were detained for seven days, you missed your father's funeral, and you regretted it for the rest of your life. 】

[Eighteen years old, after you came out, your father has been buried, and your brother was involved in the Fengyuting case. 】

Chen Sheng looked at this sentence and calculated carefully.

In seven days, the Wind and Rain Pavilion case happened within these seven days.

My father died the night before yesterday, and my brother was in Yangcheng, and according to Qi Law, the funeral was a seven-day rest.

The elder brother took a break yesterday, and there were still six days left in seven days, and after all, the wind and rain pavilion case should have happened on September 17, and the elder brother returned to the pavilion on that day.

Chen Sheng still had six days to prepare.

It is these six days that determine life.

Chen Sheng looked at the deducer again, the long bar under the deducer was already empty, it had just been activated once, and the power inside had completely disappeared.

And there is still a row of words left on it after the last deduction.

[Countdown to the next deduction time: 58:49:27, or rush energy with a literary tone.] 】

Chen Sheng frowned when he looked at this typeset, what does this symbol mean?

Chen Sheng looked at it for a long time, and the symbols on it should record the time.

It's just that how it is calculated, Chen Sheng is still observing.

The last few numbers keep changing.

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9。

The last row of symbols, which changes all the time, and then the symbols in front, change with the symbols in the back.

Chen Sheng looked at the symbol for a long time, and then corresponded to the time, and some understood, but it still needed time to verify.

If the guess is correct, then the inference should be two timelines.

One is deduced by strange symbols, and the other is deduced by impulse energy, without interfering with each other.

But he found that the long bar of Chong Energy had become larger, and this time the consumption of Wen Qi was at least half more than before.

Chen Sheng shook his head helplessly, he could only wait for the deduction two days later, and continued to think about what aspects to start with the Wind and Rain Pavilion case.

Carriages and horses enter the city.

Chen Sheng thought about hurting people in the deduction.

In the laws of the Great Qi, it is clearly stated what kind of punishment will be for hurting someone.

Fines, detention, exile.

Although the Chen family is a big family, they still have to abide by it, this is the rule, the rules set by the Holy Emperor of Great Qi, called "Great Qi Law".

Those who dare to provoke the law of Great Qi will punish the whole clan, this is a rule proved by the blood of the people of the world.

The Holy Emperor began to conquer the Six Kingdoms thirty years ago, and after thirty years of bloody battles, millions of living beings died in battle.

Chen Sheng did not be ruthless to Chen Yan, and he also had this consideration.

He is not a strong man whose strength can provoke Daqi, and in full view of everyone, this kind of thing cannot be done.

"If someone is detained, someone should have reported it to the official."

Whether it was hurting people too hard, or other reasons, Chen Sheng didn't think about the reason.

Thinking about it, it was not far from Chen's mansion.

Chen's influence in Yangcheng is still very large, and Chen Sheng is on the road, and he has seen many people wearing linen and filial piety.

Hundreds of years of princes, although the country has long been destroyed, but it has long been integrated with this city.

When Chen Yong drove the carriage and horses to the road, which was still one street away from his house, the car could no longer enter.

Dense crowds, half of the people of Yang City gathered here.

"Let's get out of the car."

Seeing this, Chen Sheng immediately got out of the car and handed the package to Chen Yong.

"You keep the package, it's got something important in it."

Chen Yong was originally a little casual, but looking at Chen Sheng's expression, he also became solemn.

"No."

Chen Yong replied in a deep voice.

Chen Sheng jumped up and galloped on the roof.

However, there is one street, close to the Chen family's house, and there are more and more people.

Chen Sheng sprinted above and saw the Chen family's mansion from a distance.

This house has seven entrances and seven exits, and it is very spacious.

Chen's ancestral home was outside Yangcheng, but it was destroyed in the Battle of Yangcheng ten years ago.

The closer they got to the house, the more orderly they became, and they lined up to enter the mansion one by one.

The gate of the house was open, and people were constantly coming in and out.

Chen Sheng saw that there were not many people, so he jumped down. From afar, there is an old family to greet you.

This family is Chen Ang's personal elder, and Chen Sheng has always respected him.

"Little master, put these on."

Behind the old man was a house slave, holding a set of filial piety clothes to help Chen Sheng put them on.

When the filial piety clothes were put on, Chen Shengqiang endured the sadness of the night and finally couldn't restrain himself.

"My father was in the prime of life, why did he die suddenly?"

Chen Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"Little master, let's go in and talk."

The old man looked around, and seemed to have some scruples.

Chen Sheng looked left and right, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard with the elder.

Seeing that there were few people around, the elder said: "The death of the head of the family is quite strange, and the cause has not been found out, but it may be poisoning." ”

Chen Sheng frowned, very puzzled.

"Not sure?"

The old man smiled bitterly, he really didn't see the problem, but it seemed to be very problematic.

Chen Sheng thought about it and asked a sentence.

"Chen Jing, are they all here? Have you ever been your eldest brother? ”

Chen Sheng's sudden question made the old man a little confused.

The elder replied thoughtfully.

"Chen Jing and the others arrived last night, but they didn't come to worship immediately, I don't know what they have in mind."

Chen Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words of the old man.

Fortunately, none of them came, otherwise with the character of the eldest brother, the situation would be extremely unfavorable.

Chen Sheng's elder brother Chen An is a postman in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, he has a gentle personality and is not a competitive person.

With Chen An's character, he is afraid that he will suffer losses everywhere.

Fortunately, Chen Sheng ran hundreds of miles overnight and rushed back to Yangcheng.

"Is Big Brother in there?"

Chen Sheng asked again.

"It's here, it's been in there all the time."

Chen Sheng lowered his head and thought, and suddenly said.

"The elder of the family, if you go and send someone to report to the official, you will say that the head of the family was assassinated, and you want the government to help us uphold justice."

"Remember to go to the manager's yamen."

Chen Sheng's words suddenly surprised the old family.

"Reporter, is this okay?"

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "I'll take care of something, remember to go when Chen Jing and the others leave this street." ”

The elder seems to have understood.

"No, I will live up to the life of the little master."

As he spoke, Chen Sheng had already come to the door of the mansion.

"Little master, you hurry in, I'm afraid that Chen Jing and they will come over in a while, you go and take a little rest and recover your energy to deal with them."

The old man asked the house slave on the side to bring some food to Chen Sheng to eat.

Chen Sheng waved his hand.

"It's okay, if I don't eat it, I'm in no mood to eat."

Walk straight to the lobby.

A coffin sits in the lobby.

Tears welled up in Chen Sheng's eyes.

Although he was in a firm mind and did not show any sad expression all night, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Bean-sized tears dripped straight down.

"Tick, tick."

Chen Sheng walked directly inside, ran to the coffin, and the whole person lay on the coffin.

Looking at his father's face, sadness came from it, and Taotao cried.

"Father, you haven't seen your child become a monk of Wendao, why did you leave suddenly?"

I don't know how long I cried, and put a hand on Chen Sheng's shoulder.

Chen Sheng looked up, and a young man stood next to him, wearing the same filial piety clothes as him, it was his eldest brother Chen An.

At this time, the corners of Chen An's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop crying, but he comforted Chen Sheng and said.

"Don't be sad, my father left very suddenly, and there was no pain."

"My father has left us, our two brothers need to work hard to live, the ability to be a brother is not strong, and you still need to bear the affairs of the family."

Chen Sheng looked up a little surprised, he knew what his brother meant.

Chen An directly gave up the position of the head of the family, without the slightest intention of competing with Chen Sheng.

"Big brother, why do you have to do this? Victory has absolutely no intention of competing with you for the head of the family. Shengping's ambition in life was to fulfill his father's last wish and become a monk of Wendao. At the same time, I also want to see what the scenery on the top of the mountain is, and the position of the head of the family is not what I want. ”

Chen Sheng's voice was a little choked.

"You misunderstood, being a brother doesn't mean anything else. I know that the situation is critical now, my father died suddenly, at this time, there is Uncle Jing and they want to seize power, and the elders of the family are also watching, one is not good to deal with, that is, you and my brother are alive and dead, and the blood is cut off. ”

"Brother Wei knows that his ability is mediocre, and he does not have your decision, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to deal with these things, it is better to entrust everything to you. With your ability, you will be able to handle these things. ”

Chen An said to Chen Sheng earnestly, his eyes were sincere, and there was no trace of hypocrisy.

Chen Sheng knew his brother's character, he was indeed as he said, not good at decision-making, and had a peaceful personality.

And now is not the time to shirk, immediately agree.

"Brother doesn't have to be like this, at this time, it is true that as my brother said, everything can be discussed between you and me, but all this cannot be given to others. You go and recruit all the elders of the family, while Chen Jing and them haven't arrived yet. Let's settle down the hearts of the people in the main vein first, as long as our people are united, even if Chen Jing is now the Sect Master of the Blood Yuan Realm, he doesn't dare to take us lightly. ”

"What Chen Jing broke through the blood element?"

Chen An was taken aback.

"Yes, I met Chen Yan on the road and saved his life, and he repaid his kindness with news."

Chen Sheng briefly talked about the things on the road.

"Do you know who that white-haired young man and girl are? Is it possible that we have something to do with him? ”

Chen An asked with a deep groan.

Chen Sheng understood what his brother meant and shook his head.

"It shouldn't be possible to get involved, what a master of that, according to my estimation, at least a doctorate or above."

"Besides, relying on them can only shock for a while, and it is not a long-term solution after all."

Chen An nodded,

"Okay, I'm going to gather the elders now, and while Chen Jing and them haven't arrived yet, let's deal with things first, and deal with them with one heart."

Chen An didn't ask Chen Sheng how to deal with Chen Jing at all, obviously entrusting everything to Chen Sheng, and he no longer had the slightest worry.

Growing up, this younger brother has never let him down.

Chen Sheng, after crying just now.

At this time, he had vented the sadness in his heart and sorted out his mind, he tidied up his filial piety clothes and knelt beside the coffin.

Not too long.

Chen An led several family elders and stewards to the side.

Chen An said to Chen Sheng: "I have already told them what I mean, now you go and communicate with them, everything here is left to me, and no one outside can come to greet the guests." ”

"Okay." Chen Sheng looked up. "Come with me, everybody."

Chen Sheng got up and led a group of people to the inner hall.

"Uncles and brothers, I'm Chen Sheng, and you all know me."

Chen Sheng's gaze swept over everyone.

In this group, there are young and old.

These people were all trusted and capable subordinates when their father was alive, and they were in charge of all the wealth and network resources of Chen An and Chen Sheng.

The absence of any of them would be a great loss for Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng now wants to subdue the hearts of these people.

"My father died. As a son, I should have kept my filial piety and didn't say too much unnecessary things to you. But you also know that now is the internal and external troubles, as the son of man, I cannot completely preserve my father's inheritance, and what face do I have to face my father's spirit in heaven. ”

"You are willing to help me, and now I am with my brother, my brother, and the eldest brother will entrust everything to victory."

"Now you are willing to be with me, we will definitely be able to carry forward this vein, and we will not be left behind, even if Chen Jing and them come together, we can also deal with it, with our current strength, it is not a problem to expel Chen Jing."

Chen Sheng's words were impassioned, but he knew that he still needed to use something to sweeten these people.

Chen Sheng admires the doctrine of Legalism the most, and the doctrine of Legalism is not only in terms of law, but also in three aspects: law, art, and potential.

Among them, the art is a vein, and it talks about how to treat people.

The distinction between reward and punishment is the most basic logic of Legalism.

Chen Sheng naturally understands these routines.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that if Chen Jing is replaced as Chen's family, there will still be a good life for you? You are all my father's henchmen. Many people have offended Chen Jing. If you want to take refuge in Chen Jing now, even if you are sincerely welcome on the surface, you will retaliate in the future, and it will be difficult to do it then. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone understands this truth. ”

"The so-called icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow."

"Instead of this, if you are with me and one heart, dispel Chen Jing, it is easy to use our joint efforts, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for you, do you think what I said is reasonable? If so, then how about expelling Chen Jing with me? If I can expel Chen Jing and win without being stingy with money, how about I take out one-tenth of my father's wealth and share it with you? ”

As soon as Chen Sheng said this, the eyes of the people present suddenly lit up.

How much wealth Chen Ang has accumulated over the years, can they still be unclear?

A tenth, that's a lot of money.

Can Chen Jing give a greater benefit than this?

Everyone calculates the gains and losses in their hearts.
