"Give it to me!"

Chen De stepped back and roared angrily: "Who dares! ”

This loud shout also frightened a few soldiers who rushed forward, and looked at the rear hesitantly.

Deng Ji said coldly: "Go in and search for the officials, search out all the official silver and treasury silver and the allocated treasury grain, if there is resistance, don't worry!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers' answers were particularly powerful.

Chen De looked at the soldier who drew his knife and panicked a little, and roared angrily: "The surname is Deng, this is the Chen Mansion, the mansion of the clan brother of the second assistant of the dynasty, don't you want the hat on your head?" ”

"The city is about to be lost, what is the use of this hat? Give it all to me! ”

"Someone, someone, someone."

Many of the well-trained soldiers were also wrapped in white bandages with red blood stains on them. The murderous aura on his body rushed towards him like substance, causing Chen De to stumble back in fright.

Chen De went to dozens of nursing homes and the like, holding all kinds of weapons, but the arrogant and selfless momentum in the past was instantly shattered when he encountered the soldiers who came down from the fighting field.

"What's the use of raising Er's in Chen Pingping's day, don't you hurry up?"

"Hmph, what's the matter, you Chen De can represent the entire Chen Mansion? Dare to go against the imperial court? Is it a rebellion? ”

"I didn't, I didn't." The hat of rebellion is too big, and whoever dares to wear it in this whole world will wear it.

Many soldiers still have black and red on their straight knives, and some of the blood stains have not been wiped off, where has Chen De seen such a scene.

"All put down their weapons and stand aside, this official can spare his life, otherwise he will be punished for rebellion and punish the nine clans!"

Where have the ordinary caretakers seen such a formation, bullying ordinary people to be powerful and powerful, who dares to fight with the soldiers? With a stick in your hand? If nothing else, just looking at the dense knife marks and gun holes on that iron armor is scary enough.

Courage is such a thing that requires faith and belief and collective strength to forget fear, and everyone needs to move forward at least not dare to go backwards, so brave people always make people feel so fearless, but this kind of thing only needs to be started.

I don't know whose first blow it was, I threw the wooden stick in my hand to the ground with a bang, as if a signal, and threw a bunch of thunderbolts, and dozens of people quickly squatted together, holding their hands on their heads very consciously.

Chen De trembled and retreated, leaning against the door and trembling in his legs and stomach, this usually powerful housekeeper, even if he saw Qingcheng County's Taishou Yizhou Thorn History, the great housekeeper of the Chen Mansion who was not humble or arrogant was scared like a quail at the moment.

A straight knife was placed on Chen De's neck, and the smell of blood on it directly stimulated Chen De's already fragile nerves.

Some soldiers may think that Chen De's surname should be pig, otherwise how can this cry and incontinence be exactly the same as when the pig was slaughtered.

The door was quickly controlled, and it didn't even take ten breaths, and the wolf-like soldiers surrounded Deng Jishen and rushed inside.

"Lord Deng."

The old lady of the Chen Mansion and the father of Chen Zongxiang today, Chen Wang trembled out with the support of the two maidservants on crutches.

Deng Jishen also had some scruples, after all, this weight is different.

"Old lady Chen, this official is polite."

Old Lady Chen coughed lightly a few times before asking, "The old man has not been on the council for a long time, why did such a misunderstanding happen today?" Are you tired of stabbing Lord Shi and moved the knife soldiers? Something to sit down and talk about, ah, why is it so? ”

Deng Jishen said: "Old lady Chen, this official came to ask for food. ”

"Lord Deng's posture seems to have come to my Chen Mansion to raid the house."

Deng Jishen couldn't hear the meaning of Chen Wang's words, but at this time, the drums from the direction of the city tower were even more urgent, and he couldn't take care of it much.

"Old lady Chen, now that Qingcheng County is in danger, this official is really helpless, asking for some grain and grass for the soldiers who fought to the death in the city, and also asking for some strong guards, even if they help carry things, they always slow down the pressure on the city."

Chen Wang took out his handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times and said: "What is a great deal about the old man's original way, this is a matter of duty, the city is in the middle of my Chen family's stability, and the old man still knows this reason." ”

"Go, call Shiro over."

After the order, Chen Wang said to Deng Jishen again: "If Lord Deng comes in for a cup of tea, the old man will call my nephew who is not a weapon, and I must satisfy Lord Deng." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the old lady is righteous, the official is grateful, and he will definitely ask the court for the old lady in the future."

Chen Wang shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man who is about to enter the ground is outside the body of fame and fortune, ah, things outside the body, I just hope that the descendants of this generation will live a stable life, it is good that the Chen family is not destroyed, Lord Deng has a heart." ”

While he was talking, Chen Zongtian, the current head of the Chen family, hurriedly came: "Uncle, why did you come here when you are not in the backyard." ”

"Hmph, you beast, why is Lord Deng holding back what he wants? What do you think of in your head? The old man told you a long time ago, if you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give, what are you doing with so much money and food? Leave it to those little devils outside the city? Confused! Qingcheng County can't hold it, you keep Jinshan, that's for others. ”

Chen Zongtian nodded again and again: "What my uncle taught me is that my nephew is narrow-minded. ”

"Country, country, no country, how can there be a home? Even if a man can't make a career on the battlefield, beware of the court, you have to understand that you can live in this big mansion with peace of mind, and who gives you the guarantee of fine clothes and food. ”

Chen Zongtian continued to nod again and again: "Uncle taught me a lesson. ”

Deng Jishen looked at Chen Wang with an embarrassed face, educating Chen Zongtian like Lao Tzu reprimanding a naughty child.

"You, it's not as good as your cousin, you can't study, so you can make a few dollars in business, and you don't even have a bit of a pattern after a long time."

Chen Zongtian's chick pecks rice.

"Now you are the head of this family, but you still have to worry about the old man, thinking about what kind of situation was when the old man handed over the Chen family to you......

"Old lady." Deng Jishen really didn't want to wait, and the drums at the head of the city were even more urgent. "Old lady, this official still has important matters, you see ......"

"Oh, let Lord Deng laugh." After speaking, he patted his chest and smoothed his breath, and then said to Chen Zongtian with a disgusted face: "What is the pestle doing here?" Check it out in the backyard. ”

Then he turned his head again, and the expression on his face instantly became amiable: "If Lord Deng is busy in advance, the old man also knows that this is an extraordinary period, and after a while, the old man will ask the nephew who is not a good person to personally send you food and people." ”

Deng Jishen hesitated.

But this Chen Wangren is old and refined: "Lord Deng, don't you can't trust the old man?" ”

Deng Jishen hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, since the old lady said so, the official will be cheeky." ”

"It's easy to say, but when the old man is tired, he will accompany him less."

"Old lady, you stay, change the Japanese official and come to thank you."

When Deng Jishen walked away and turned out of the corner, Chen Wangfang changed the smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the house, Chen Zongtian didn't know where to come from, waved his hand and let the maid who was waiting push him down, and helped Chen Wang towards the inner house.

"Uncle, according to your orders, they are already being loaded, do you think they will be loaded and sent over?"

Chen Wang nodded.

Chen Zongtian asked unwillingly: "But uncle, is this too much?" ”

"How much? Not much. ”

"But those grains are almost enough for the entire Huizhou Wei 40,000 people to eat for a month, more than 10,000 stones, and 600 strong men. Now our Chen family is not as simple as breaking our muscles and bones. ”

Chen Wang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of in the imperial court?" ”

"Yes, uncle, there is a cousin who serves as the second assistant in the court, and my nephew doesn't believe that he Deng Jishen really dares to do anything to our Chen family."

Chen Wang shook his head and said: "You, it's no problem to do business, you have contributed to our Chen family's current family business, but the bad is also bad here, the businessman is too profitable." ”

Chen Wang stopped and stared at Chen Zongtian and asked, "The old man asks you, if the old man doesn't show up today, what are you going to do, will you give this food?" How much to give? ”

Chen Zongtian didn't speak, obviously unwilling.

"It's really confusing, don't you look at the guy surnamed Deng who came with soldiers today."

Chen Zongtian was unconvinced: "My nephew saw it, isn't there only about 200 people, and some of them are missing arms and legs, I am afraid that he is very big, and there is a cousin who has how much courage he has in Deng Jishen." Jing Ren didn't come before, and we Chen Mansion had to wait obediently for the transmission. When Jingren came, he took advantage of the situation. ”

"Alas, if the old man tells your cousin what you say, will he whip you?"

"What kind of place is Qingcheng County, that is the county seat of Qingcheng County, Huizhou Prefecture, then Deng Jishen is a feudal official, a member of the second grade, wearing a red robe, half a grade away from your cousin, you say that there is no one in the court?"

"This ......"

"Shut up, you're just too smooth on weekdays, your cousin has loved you since you were a child and protected you and raised you like this. If Deng Jishen really moved the sword soldiers, not to mention the old man's old face at this moment, your cousin's official position and even my entire Chen family will not be guaranteed, do you know? ”

Chen Zongtian can become the head of the family, there is naturally a difference between being stupid and forced, but he is too immersed in the power of the fox and the tiger in the past, and it is a little difficult to extricate himself.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up, but he still said: "But uncle, that's really too much, my Chen family's treasury is basically empty, and this courtyard is not even enough to guard, this panicked, you have to prepare some manpower." ”

Chen Wang showed a smug smile on his face: "It's small, the pattern is small." ”

"Uncle, please."

"First of all, the six families of Qingcheng are headed by my Chen family, but now that my Chen family has donated so much, how much should the other five donations be?"

Chen Zongtian began to make a mental calculation silently.

"If there is no Chen family in front of me, Deng Jishen will definitely not be satisfied, and this thing was not taken away by our Lord Thorn Shi himself, we took the initiative to send it, what do the people say about this righteous act, what does Huizhou Wei say, and what does the imperial court say?"

"Uncle has a point."

Chen Wangxiao asked, "Figured it out?" ”

"Well, I figured it out."

"Then you talk about it, and the old man will listen to it too."

Chen Zongtian said: "If you have a reputation and reputation, although the other five families can add up to 20,000 or 30,000 stones, they don't know how much we have sent, and now it is estimated that each family is surrounded by soldiers, so they will definitely be reluctant to scrape the treasury at once, and they don't have the same high relationship as my Chen family." ”

"For the people, my Chen family is doing good, for Huizhou and the imperial court, my Chen family is an absolute righteous businessman, and it will definitely be a lot more convenient to cooperate with the government in the future, and it may even kick out one or two disobedient people because of this matter, so that the weight of my Chen family in Huizhou will be a little heavier."

"That's right, go ahead."

"From the nephew's point of view, although the Jingren are outnumbered, it is still very difficult to take a big city like Qingcheng County, and the reinforcements from all directions will have already arrived, and as soon as the Jingren retreat, then the opportunity for my Chen family will come immediately, and we can rely on the name of this righteous businessman to undertake the reconstruction of the government, and this time is naturally a good time to grow."

"Of course, this batch of grain shipped out of the imperial court cannot be said to be forcibly requisitioned, and there will inevitably be measures to appease it, so the loss is not big for us."

"Well, yes, go ahead." Chen Wang nodded with satisfaction.

"The young men who are sent out can be completely from the army, and after the war, both the Huizhou Wei and the city defense battalion will inevitably recruit a large number of people, but the Kuilong Mansion can replenish extremely limited, and these young men who have made meritorious contributions to defending the city will inevitably be given priority, and these people will be the chess pieces of my Chen family in the city defense camp and Huizhou Wei in the future, and they will inevitably be a big help."

"Well, what else?"

"And?" Chen Zongtian began to think hard.

"Also, if my Chen family suffered a loss at this time because of supporting the imperial court to defend the city, how could the imperial court let it go, and how could the people not sympathize. At this time, we can put forward more favorable conditions, and the people's hearts are towards my Chen family, and the business will inevitably go to a higher level. ”

"Anything else?"

"This ......"

"Uncle, that's all my nephew can think of."

"The old man asked you, how old is Qin Kang, the first assistant of the cabinet, this year?"

Chen Zongtian reacted violently and seemed to be in disbelief: "What does Uncle mean?" ”

"What if you think about it?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Zongtian instantly became transparent: "Don't want it, don't want anything, we should also build a porridge shed to assist the government to bring back the refugees. ”

Chen Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "What the old man liked at the beginning was your courage. Go ahead. ”

"It's my uncle."

"Chen De, Chen De. Come here. ”

"Hey, here comes the master." Chen De, who had eased up, ran over with folds on his face.

"You go and personally lead people, and then transfer 300 people from the mansion to the city to help defend it, and Jingren is not allowed to come back if he does not retreat!"

"Ah?!!h
