Chen's Inner Hall.

Chen Jiagao sat on the main seat, Sima Shang was the first on the right, and next to him was the county lieutenant.

On the opposite side of Sima Shang were the county head and county manager of Chen County, who had just arrived here.

These five people are the most powerful people in the inner hall.

In the lobby, Chen Sheng, Zhou Guang, Zhou Ze, Zhong Liyi, and Xu Ben were standing, and Chen Yong, who was paralyzed on the ground and was tied up.

There was silence and no one spoke.

The order of this seat is according to official position.

Although Chen Jia is a great sect, his authority is to be in charge of the Patriarchal Department and the management of all royal clansmen, and he is one of the six secretaries and one of the secretaries of the Qi State.

Sima Shang is a military general, and his status is only slightly lower than that of Shangqing.

The head of the county is a feudal official, although the official rank is slightly lower, but he is the head of the county, and in this county, his words have priority.

The county lieutenant and the manager are the troika of the Qi State's local political structure, and their status is slightly lower, but they have the power to directly report to the Holy Emperor.

The state of Qi is divided into state capitals, and the state capitals are all directly controlled by the five capitals, and the five capitals directly talk to the Holy Emperor.

And the county manager and the county lieutenant are over this level.

So they have a slightly lower status, but they can sit with several people.

It is not only because of the responsibility, but also because of the supervision, if there is any objection, you can directly submit the book.

"It's all here, isn't it?"

After a long time, Chen Jia opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

His words were not harsh, but mild, but no one dared to disrespect him.

Chen Jia became famous as a young man, becoming a Blood Yuan Grandmaster at the age of twelve, and becoming recognized as the strongest martial artist at the age of thirty-two, and even the Holy Emperor Guang was not his opponent in martial arts. No one will underestimate such a person because of his gentle words.

This is a ruthless man who can kill the general of Chu at the age of fifteen.

When Nao Ya killed King Qi Wuqing, fifteen-year-old Chen Jia raised his arms and shouted, killing Nao Ya, who was at the peak of his congenital nature, with a hug Dan, which shook the world.

Later, the state of Qi was based on Jimo and Jucheng before it was re-established.

After 50 years, Chen Jia's demeanor has not diminished, and he is still the face of the year, with a peerless demeanor.

"Well, it's time to come."

Looking around, Chen Jia spoke directly.

"I've seen Da Zongzheng, and I don't know what the Holy Emperor has ordered to summon us and the others."

The county chief looked at Chen Jia and asked.

"It's for the sake of Yangcheng."

Chen Jia didn't contain a lake, his eyes looked at Chen Sheng.

"The Chen family is the birthplace of the bloodline of the Daqi royal family, the son Chen Wanben is known to the world, the Chen family has made great contributions to the pacification of the world in the Great Qi, the previous generation of the Chen family is the descendant of the Dashun bloodline recognized by the Holy Emperor, and there is a knighthood, and the Holy Emperor will be the Chen bloodline and the royal capital Chen ten years ago."

Chen Jia said something with a calm face, but Chen Sheng and everyone were surprised.

Chen Sheng never knew about this matter, and Chen Ang never announced it to the outside world.

Sima Shang's face also changed, which was very exciting.

"Is this true?"

The county leader's face was solemn, and he asked Chen Jia with his hand.

"Naturally, this is the Chen clan's ancestry, please look here, this is written by the Holy Emperor himself."

Chen Jia took out an object from his arms.

is a rectangular template.

The county head took it with both hands, followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw the name of the Chen family, Chen Ang, Chen An, and Chen Sheng were among them.

"It's exactly what the Great Sect says."

The county chief nodded.

"But since the Chen family is a royal clan member confirmed by the Holy Emperor, it is also possible for Chen Sheng to rebel, why is the Great Sect confirming that Chen Sheng did not rebel?"

Sima suddenly gave up his hand.

"Can you say a few words about the original book?"

"General, it's okay to talk about it, since the Holy Emperor has handed over this matter to me to deal with, he naturally wants to make it clear."

Chen Jia's gaze scanned the audience, and suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum.

"Since General Sima wants to speak, let's officially begin. Let General Sima say a few words first, and then let him explain what he has experienced. General Sima, let's get started. ”

Sima Shang's face remained unchanged.

"Da Zongzheng, the county chief also said just now, although Chen Sheng is a clan relative, but now all the evidence points to Chen Sheng's rebellion, we can't have any scruples because he is a clan relative, and please give Da Zongzheng a clear attitude, what should we do?"

"Since General Sima asked. I also expressed my attitude that although Chen Sheng is a clan relative, as long as he rebels, I will behead him with my own hands, if there is no rebellion, no one can frame him. ”

Chen Jia's tone was firm, and his words were loud.

"Please also investigate carefully, no matter who is involved, whether it is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms or the people of the Black Ice Terrace, investigate to the end, return the Chen family's innocence, give an explanation to the people of Yangcheng, give an explanation to all the subjects of Chen County, and give an explanation to the Holy Emperor."

Chen Jia bowed.

"Guys, have you understood?"

"Understood."

The four of them returned the salute in unison, but their voices were different.

"Okay, then let's start, General Sima is the first to arrive, you come first, start with you coming."

Chen Jia looked at Sima Shang with a smile.

"No."

Sima Shang got up directly and said: "Ben will receive a secret order from the Holy Emperor a day ago and come to Chen County to take over the county soldiers in the county, and last night Ben General was ordered to surround the Wind and Rain Pavilion, these are all written by the Holy Emperor himself." ”

"Not bad. The captain of this school checked General Sima's tiger talisman and handed over the three thousand soldiers to him. He has not yet regained military power. ”

The county lieutenant below proved Sima Shang's words.

"I know General Sima's secret order, and I ask the general to continue."

Chen Jia waved his hand for Sima Shang to continue.

"The general surrounded the Wind and Rain Pavilion and arranged a large array of soldiers, and at the same time, Mr. Fu Lezheng, the crown prince, also came to the army, and he also had the Holy Emperor's secret body, I checked his will and let him enter the barracks."

"Is this the case?"

Chen Jia also took out something.

Sima Shang checked it and said, "Exactly." ”

"The two of us received the task of besieging and killing all the people who came out of it, and there was news that there were anti-Qi forces from the six countries inside, and then we waited there, killing a figure suspected of Li Si's will, and a few others, I deduced from their moves that it should be the characters of the three sects of Chudi."

"Then we ran into Chen Sheng."

"In that case, then why is Chen Sheng still alive?"

The county manager asked puzzledly, "Is there something wrong in the middle?" ”

"Not bad."

Sima Shang smiled bitterly: "There was a little accident at that time. Do you recognize the armor on his body? ”

"I've seen it below. However, I didn't see any mystery, but I knew that it was not a mortal thing, and the aura of the Holy King was all over the place. Zhou Ze said.

"Yes, it's that armor, that's the armor of the Great Shun Holy King."

"What?"

The county chief stood up suddenly. "The Five Emperors Battle Armor of the Great Shun Holy King?"

"Not bad." The head of the county is a Legalist figure, although the Legalist is the current king, but the Legalist is not against the ancient holy king.

The rule of the holy king is also of reference significance to the Legalists.

"Since there is a Holy King Battle Armor, then there must be a Holy King's will, and it is recorded in ancient books that the Holy King War Armor has their will."

"Indeed, I saw the will of the Great Shun Holy King."

Sima Shang still smiled bitterly.

"Since this is the case, it is easy to explain, the will of the Great Shun Saint King is in his body, and General Sima is not good at making a move against the Humane Saint King."

The county chief seems to have figured it out.

"County Chief, you are wrong, if it is only the will of the Holy King, then how can it stop me, I stopped because the Holy Emperor appeared at that time, and the Holy Emperor asked me to let him go."

"I see. When did the general let Chen Sheng out. ”

Sima pondered, "When it's almost dawn." ”

Chen Sheng watched the conversation of several people below, without saying a word.

He also saw Sima Shang's concealment, but Chen Sheng did not object to these concealments, and it was not good for him to poke out those secret thoughts.

"When the day is almost dawn, then if Chen Sheng walks back, he should enter the city when the city gate opens."

The county manager pondered: "Zhou Guang, where is the Fa Cao Jiangheng of your yamen?" ”

Zhou Guang replied: "Fa Cao went out early in the morning today. Only to come back in the evening. ”

The county manager waved his hand and said impatiently: "Since that's the case, forget it." ”

"Wait a minute, you guys go and find out when Chen Sheng entered the city, since he was in the Wind and Rain Pavilion last night, then he doesn't have time to arrange everything in Yangcheng."

"Is it possible that he arranged it, and all this is just to leave a way back?"

The lieutenant asked with some hesitation.

"It shouldn't be possible, if he had arranged it a long time ago, he came back a few days ago, and his father was buried in the middle, he didn't have so much time, besides, this kind of thing of rebellion, the main owner was not present to cheer up, who would dare to do it, besides. According to General Sima, the Wind and Rain Pavilion should be very dangerous last night, so is it necessary for him? ”

The county manager said slowly, he was specifically in this area, and his thinking was clear, and everyone was nodding their heads at this analysis.

"General Sima also said just now, yesterday in the Wind and Rain Pavilion of all kinds of relics of the Six Kingdoms, Chen Sheng is a member of the royal family, I am afraid that those people will do something to him."

The county manager suddenly had a question as he spoke: "No, Chen Sheng, what did you do when you went to the Wind and Rain Pavilion last night?" We also just found out that you are a royal clansman, and those people don't know, if you collude, it all makes sense. ”

The county clerk had doubts in his eyes.

Chen Sheng raised his head, he looked at Chen Jia: "Da Zongzheng, do you need me to say?" ”

Chen Jia looked at Sima Shang and looked at him: "You don't have to say it here, you really didn't collude with them, this Holy Emperor can prove it." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Emperor's edict, you must understand it carefully, don't ask about inconsequential things, there are some things you can't ask."

"Da Zongzheng, you just said that you would investigate to the end."

Sima Shang said with puzzlement.

"General Sima said cautiously."

Chen Jia looked at Sima Shang and said, "Since the Holy Emperor has asked you to let Chen Sheng go, it proves that he did not collude with those people in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, and you will check after Chen Sheng comes out." ”

I will propose three directions for you: "The first is to check from Chen Yong, I believe in your methods. ”

Chen Yong's hands and feet were tied at this time.

"Woo" speechless.

The second direction is: "Han Shen, Jiang Sheng and Qiao Jing's identities are checked." ”

The third direction is: "The three clans of Chu and the Black Ice Terrace." ”

After Chen Jia finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

"Things are actually very simple, the bottom line you should understand, those things that don't make sense don't need to be investigated."

"The direction you mainly investigate is the direction I just delineated, as for Chen Sheng's matter, you don't have to dig into it, there are some things that you don't need to know, even if there are some people behind you, you can't step out of this bottom line."

Chen Jia's words were not harsh.

Everyone was a little stunned for a while.

"No."

"What is your opinion on the matter of the county government and the manager yamen?"

Zhou Guang suddenly stepped forward and said, "Da Zongzheng, I have something to say." ”

"Speak."

"There should be some problems with the three county officials, the county government is too simple. There must be a mole, and the head of our manager's yamen has also mysteriously disappeared, he was appointed by the manager himself, according to this line of thought, we just need to go to the county governor's office to find out who is not there, and we can determine whether the three are connected. ”

Zhou Guang spoke his mind.

"Yes, that's an idea."

"In this way, Lieutenant Li will take someone to investigate this matter, I will try Chen Yong, and the county head will accompany Da Zongzheng and General Sima here, and after we verify it, we will think about how to start from the third direction."

"Okay, it's good to deal with it like this, is it okay?"

The county leader looked at Chen Jia.

Chen Jia pondered it and said, "Not bad." The idea is very good, and the distribution is also good, we wait for your news. You can send someone to restrain the corpse of the county magistrate. We are here for the time being to deal with official business, Master Chen, do we have any opinions on requisitioning your hall? ”

Chen Sheng gave his hand again and again: "Thank you Da Zongzheng for helping to prove her innocence, such a trivial matter, how can there be a reason not to agree." ”

He could see that Chen Jia's words just now were to protect his innocence, Chen Jia directly designated the direction, and directly proved Chen Sheng's innocence, which should be related to Sima Shang's words.

It seems that above the court, the strength of the prince's family is not weak, and a Sima Shang can talk head-on with characters like Chen Jia.

This also illustrates some problems, and Chen Sheng has to think about some problems.

There is a passage in the deduction that says, Qi Wang Zhao.

So does it mean that the Holy Emperor has been unable to grasp the situation for a while?

Or is the Holy Emperor retreating as advancing?

"Okay, then you can go down and deal with it, take them down, everyone's words must be carefully sorted out, don't miss a little, as for Chen Sheng, according to what they said before, Zhong Liyi accompanied him throughout the whole process, and it should be the same to find him."

"No, I'll take care of it later."

The county manager and the county lieutenant bowed their hands.

"Zhong Liyi, Zhou Guang, Zhou Ze, Chen Yong, Xu Ben, you follow this official out."

The county manager gave orders to a few people, and two soldiers came up and directly pulled Chen Yong down.

The lieutenant also took people out.

As soon as a few people left, there were only four people left at the scene.

Chen Jia, Sima Shang and the county head.

Standing below was Chen Sheng.

"Chen Sheng, you are the patriarch of the Chen family's ancestral land, you must consider your identity before making any decisions, and you must not live up to the Holy Emperor's expectations of you, I still have a bit of the Holy Emperor's message here, I will tell you."

"The courtier's edict."

Chen Sheng has no problem with using ministers.

The Chen family has a knighthood, and after Chen Ang's death, Chen Sheng can inherit directly as long as he is demoted to the next level.

"Chen Sheng, you are the bloodline of the Chen family, you have to take into account the overall situation wherever you go, I heard that you are about to open up Wenxin, and I specially approve you to enter the Jixia Academy Palace to study, in order to fulfill your father's wish."
