"Chongwu Street" in the east of Shangjing City, the mansions here are basically military attaché residences or generals' mansions.

In front of the mansion of "Han Xiu", the secretary of the military department.

"There is a report from Lao, Chen Ji begged to see Lord Han."

Chen Ji said anxiously.

Menzi looked Chen Ji up and down, and said impatiently: "Let's go!" Where did the madman come from! Do you want to meet our family? "The disciples are about to bang people.

"This is the token that Lord Han gave me!"

Chen Ji took out a black iron token from his arms.

This token is old and incomplete, and the top is cut off with a sharp weapon, one side is engraved with "Zhenbei Army", and the other side is engraved with "Centurion Han Xiu".

This is Han Xiu's token in the Zhenbei Army, or a centurion, after being injured and exiting the north, he gave three tokens to the descendants of the martyrs, and threatened to come to Han Mansion with the token if he had something.

The leader recognized the token and said again and again:

"It's the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, son, please wait a minute, the little one will go in and report it." After speaking, he walked into the mansion quickly, and walked out with Steward Li in the mansion.

"It turned out to be Gongzi Chen, Lord Han is not in the mansion at the moment, but what difficulties have you encountered?"

This housekeeper Li is in his fifties, with a scarf tied on his head, elegant and polite, and welcomes Chen Jichao in the mansion while asking.

It's not the first time the two have met, Han Xiu will help the descendants of the three heroes in his personal name every year, a few years ago, he did it himself, and after he had an official position, he was busy with official business, so he was done by Steward Li.

Chen Ji's situation is somewhat special, his father joined the army and died in the north, and his mother died of the epidemic.

Every year, he took the silver taels given by Han Xiu, and Chen Ji would give it to the descendants of the martyrs who were struggling to live a penny.

Han Xiu once commented: "This son has a 'chivalrous' spirit. ”

"When will Lord Han come back?"

Chen Ji asked a little urgently.

"It's estimated that it's going to be soon, if Chen Gongzi has anything urgent, you can tell Lao Yu, maybe I can help you solve it first."

Steward Li smiled.

Chen Ji didn't think that Steward Li could help much, but he still told the matter, the first time he took the initiative to come to the Han Mansion, he wanted Han Xiu to help intercede for Lu Fang.

Steward Li was smiling when he first heard it, and when he heard the conflict between Chen Ji and Xiao Jinchen after the third prince, his eyebrows couldn't help wrinkling together.

I thought that was the end of it.

In the end, I heard that Chen Ji's "friend" killed Xiao Jinchen in public!

"Ahh

Steward Li's voice was all trembling.

The Xiao family is the most powerful of the powerful in Shangjing, and if there are some verbal conflicts among the juniors, of course Lord Han can make peace in it.

can kill the heirs of the Xiao family! Even Han Xiu, who is still the secretary of the military department, is probably powerless.

Chen Ji continued......

When Steward Li heard that the murderer was a protégé of the half-saint Yu Hanyi, he forced Xiao Xun in the prison to kneel, and when he was protected by Liu Wenyu in the prison, everyone else was numb.

"Gongzi Chen, this matter is very important, Xiao Lao'er can't help, calculate the time, Lord Han is about to come back from the palace, you wait in the study first."

Steward Li took the person to the study and left with a wry smile.

About half an hour passed.

Han Xiu hadn't changed out of his court clothes when he came back from the palace, and when he heard Steward Li say that Chen Ji was here because "Lu Fang killed Xiao Jinchen", he walked into the study with an unconcealed admiration.

"Uncle Han."

Chen Ji saluted and couldn't wait to say: "Today I have a ...... with Xiao Jinchen after the third prince."

Han Xiu pressed his palm weakly and interrupted:

"I already know the reason for this matter in the palace, don't worry about the virtuous nephew, the saint knows everything, and knows that Xiao Jinchen is arrogant and wants to kill Lu Fang first, so he only ordered and punished Lu Fang with a grounding and a cane."

Xiao Jinchen vainly discussed humiliating the Zhenbei Army, and Chen Ji was not afraid of power to speak out.

Han Xiu had already learned from the photo talisman, and he was relieved that he had not mistaken Chen Ji, this kid had an extremely valuable "chivalrous" spirit, which was even better than his father's.

Chen Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good, that's good." ”

Han Xiu muttered: "The Xiao family's direct family was killed, they will definitely not give up easily, you try to keep your distance from that Lu Fang, so as not to be affected by him." ”

Chen Ji said, "Uncle Han, I know that you are for my good, but the boy can't do this. ”

"Alas! You stubborn temper! ”

Han Xiu sighed, knowing Chen Ji's temper, he no longer continued to persuade, and changed the topic:

"In a few days, it will be your father's death day, you can help me put more incense. After you helped so many martyrs who were struggling to make ends meet, you had enough money on you, and when you went back, I let ......"

……

Wanfeng Street Li Mansion.

After Li Yu respectfully saw Liu Wenyu away, he paced and looked at Lu Fang who was lying on the chair, and said:

"You are really bold, you killed Xiao Jinchen on the first day you went to Wenyuan Academy, don't you know that he is the third duke, his grandfather is the former Wenxiang, and his father is the secretary of the criminal department?"

"Oops......"

Lu Fang had just been scolded by the rod for thirty boards, and he grinned in pain when he moved slightly, and he didn't have a good breath:

"Xiao Jinchen wants to kill me, is it possible that I will stand there and let him kill? I'm your little uncle, pay attention to the tone of your voice. ”

Li Yu frowned and rolled his eyes and said:

"The Xiao family has a grudge against our teacher, next time we encounter this situation, Xiao, Shi, Uncle, you must think twice, so as not to fall into their trap."

"This time, the Holy Lord just grounded you and scolded you with a rod, that's because Xiao Jinchen wants to kill you first, and for the sake of the ancestor's face, next time it won't be so simple."

Lu Fang was puzzled: "What kind of enmity does the Xiao family have with our master?" ”

When Li Yu talked about this, his expression became a little colder:

"At that time, Xiao Wanlin was the minister of literature, and for a period of time, he also served as the minister of soldiers, and on the battlefield in the north, in order to save more than a dozen children of the Xiao family in the Zhenbei Army, 30,000 soldiers were wiped out by the barbarians."

"After the ancestor learned about it, he slapped Xiao Wanlin hundreds of times in a row, and since then he has been grudging."

"As soon as the protégés and descendants of the Xiao family seize the opportunity, they will ask His Majesty to join the people of the sect, whether it is justified or not."

Lu Fang lowered his voice and said, "Master is also the first person under the sage, so he didn't think about finding an opportunity to 'destroy' the Xiao family?" ”

When it comes to power, it stands to reason that the half-saint Hanyi should not be bad.

Li Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "First of all, the ancestor is not that kind of person, and secondly, the ancestor of the Xiao family is ranked as the third duke, and there are several half-saints in the town, Xiao Wanlin is the former minister, and the descendants of the protégés are everywhere."

"And he is also a relative of the emperor, his power is greater than that of Xiao, teacher, uncle, you can imagine it, in short, you have to be careful of the Xiao family in the future."

"No wonder Xiao Jinchen dares to kill people in public." Lu Fang said coldly.

Do you regret it? Of course not, others want to kill him, threaten to kill his whole family, what does he have to regret?

"Cousin!"

A slightly "high-pitched" voice came from outside the living room.

I saw a fat man with a straight belly, swaying and struggling into the living room, showing a folding fan in a chic manner, with a confident smile on his face: "I heard that your junior uncle Lu Fang is here, I have something to talk about with him." ”

This person is He Zixuan, the son of Wenxiang.

He originally had an idle position in the household department to supervise the imperial history.

After Wen Xiang created the Great Zhou Wen Bao, he was transferred by Zhou Tianzi to deal with the size of the Wen Bao.
