The gate of the Hou Mansion is closed, and there is no doorman and no home.

Even the people passing by subconsciously stayed away from the house.

The huge Hou Mansion, the word depression can be seen from the gate, and the inside and outside reveal a feeling that Sheng Yong is not liked by Zhu Di.

Chen Kan came to the gate and gently knocked on the rusty copper ring on the copper door.

Then he quietly waited for Sheng Yong to open the door.

The one who came to open the door could only be Sheng Yong.

As the so-called tree falls and scatters, the famous general of the previous dynasty, when he arrives in the new dynasty, not to mention that Zhu Di hates him, together with the upstarts who go out, they no longer take the famous generals of the older generation in their eyes.

"Squeak~"

The old wooden door seemed to tell the embarrassment of the master's family, and Sheng Yong, who had a haggard face, opened the door from the inside.

Sheng Yong, Chen Kan only saw him once when Zhu Di ascended the throne, although Sheng Yong's mental state at that time was not good, but he could still see the innate murderous aura.

And now Sheng Yong has gray hair in just a few months.

Chen Kan, the popular fried chicken in front of Zhu Di, Sheng Yong also knows it.

After he opened the door, he watched Chen Kan come to this formation with hundreds of people.

As if resigned to his fate, he asked in an emotionless voice: "Lord Chen, did you come to copy the Hou Ben's house on the orders of His Majesty, come in." ”

People are warm and cold, Sheng Yong has a deep understanding these days, and when he saw Chen Kan, he said that he was unexpected, and he said that he was not unexpected.

He thought that it would be Jinyiwei, but it turned out to be Chen Kan.

It's good to come, so that your family can live in fear.

Sheng Yong took a step back, stretched out a hand and said, "Lord Chen, please start." ”

Chen Kan looked at the old general in front of him who had made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, knowing that he had misunderstood him, and he didn't open his mouth to explain.

It's just that there is some sigh in my heart.

"Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace."

This sentence is too suitable for the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that the generals of the Song Dynasty are miserable, but the generals of the Song Dynasty still have glory and wealth to enjoy.

As for the generals of the Ming Dynasty, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the death of the Ming Dynasty, all the emperors were mean and unkind, including Zhu Youzhang, the emperor of filial piety, who was blown up by the literati.

Seeing that Chen Kan didn't move, and the people brought by Chen Kan also stayed outside the door without the slightest offense, Sheng Yong said curiously: "Why, Lord Chen still doesn't do it?" ”

Chen Kan shook his head and said, "Master Hou misunderstood, this official is here to ask Master Hou about something." ”

Sheng Yong said indifferently: "Lord Chen said that he laughed, the old man is a bad old man who is about to enter the wood, where can he teach the adults anything, if the adults are not here to raid the house, please find another master to ask for advice." ”

"Hou Ye won't ask this official what is the matter with Hou Ye?"

Facing Chen Kan's rhetorical question, Sheng Yong said calmly: "No matter what happens, the old man can't teach it." ”

Chen Kan said bluntly: "This matter is really only known to the Hou Ye, the official has been against the White Lotus Sect these days, but the other party is very slippery, and the official really can't catch it, so he has to come to disturb the Hou Ye." ”

"White Lotus Sect?"

As soon as he heard the name of the White Lotus Sect, Sheng Yong's eyes suddenly showed a hint of sharpness.

But soon it fell silent again.

He said lightly: "The old man did deal with the White Lotus Sect in the early years, but over the years, the old man has been tired of running for his life, and now he has fallen to this point, if you want the old man to deal with the White Lotus Sect, please forgive the old man for not being able to do anything." ”

For Sheng Yong's current embarrassing situation, Chen Kan can also understand that it is really difficult for him to make a move.

But the purpose of Chen Kan's visit today was not to invite the old general out of the mountain.

He sorted out his thoughts for a moment and asked, "I wonder how far Master Hou had gone in purging the White Lotus Sect in the first place?" ”

Sheng Yong frowned and asked, "Lord Fang asked you to come?" ”

Chen Kan didn't hide it, nodded and said: "The official was confused, so he went to ask the teacher for advice, and the teacher pointed out a clear path for the official, that is, to see you, Master Hou." ”

"In that case, let's come with the old man."

Sheng Yong's voice was as flat as ever.

Chen Kan followed him all the way to the study, and Sheng Yong pulled out a piece of paper from the corner of the bookshelf that looked a little old.

After blowing off the ashes on the paper, he handed the yellowed paper to Chen Kandao: "Back then, the old man and Ping Bao'er were ordered by the great grandfather to purge the White Lotus cultists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but unfortunately, before the general was successful, the first emperor drove the crane west, and the matter was over."

This is the military deployment map of the old man and Ping Bao'er, as well as the distribution map of the White Lotus Sect's strongholds collected by the Erlang under his command.

I don't know if these strongholds of the White Lotus Sect are still there, since you have been busy with this matter recently, this map is useless in the hands of the old man, you can take it. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing Chen Kan reach out and take the yellowed paper, Sheng Yong continued to rummage in the corner.

When Chen Kan opened the drawings and looked at the various place names recorded on the paper, Sheng Yong also turned out a thick dossier.

He opened the file and said indifferently: "The origin of the White Lotus Sect can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty at the earliest, and this dossier records in detail the development of the White Lotus Sect and various branch sects.

In addition, what the old man wants to tell you is that the White Lotus Sect has been able to develop to the present in the encirclement and suppression of all dynasties, and it must not be taken lightly.

At that time, the old man only found out that the White Lotus Sect was in the leather and meat business among the Beijing teachers and broke the clues, you might as well check the painting boats on the Qinhuai River carefully. ”

Chen Kan took the file from Sheng Yong's hand and nodded solemnly.

By now, Chen Kan had already put away his contempt for the White Lotus Sect.

"Master Hou rest assured, he has suffered a big loss at the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and it is too late for the official to pay attention to it, how can he despise the White Lotus Sect."

After bidding farewell to Sheng Yong, Chen Kan left the Hou Mansion to meet with the guards and planned to return to the Yamen.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, Ping An went to Beiping to serve as the commander of Beiping, so Chen Kan could only get a copy of the information in Sheng Yong's hand.

As soon as he stepped on the war horse, Chen Kan suddenly remembered the woman he saw when he passed by the Fuller Theater.

I also thought of what Sheng Yong said, the disciples of the White Lotus Sect made a living in the skin and meat business in the Jingshi. Somehow, Chen Kan subconsciously wanted to go to Fuller House to have a look.

For this unprovoked impulse in his heart, Chen Kan has always chosen to follow his heart.

So he changed his mind and ordered to the guards, "Go to the Fullerhouse." ”

Fang Xu and Zhang San were stunned when they heard this, and they wanted to sigh that adults are worthy of being adults, and they still have the heart to go to the Qinglou at this time.

But before the words could be spoken, he saw that Chen Kan had already rushed out like an arrow from the string.

The two looked at each other with a look at each other, and had no choice but to follow with their horses.
