The Chen Mansion, the interior and exterior of the luxurious compound are guarded by armor soldiers in armor, and there are non-stop patrols at twelve o'clock every day.

The entire Chen Mansion can be said to be impregnable!

From the descriptions of Luo Fuxian and the Jinyi Guards, Ban Wei judged that the attacker's skills the day before yesterday were at least masters in the Inferior Dacheng Realm, and he was good at body speed.

Therefore, he directly transferred two hundred elite armor soldiers, in a group of ten people, to protect the entire Chen Mansion, and if the other party dared to come, he would throw himself into the net.

At this time, a group of people were discussing in the study of the Chen Mansion, and those present were all Chen Nianji's diehards.

Ban Wei sat at the top, not only because he had the highest official position, but also because he was a confidant of Qin Guogong and had quite high political acumen. In fact, Qin Guogong has long been less concerned about this righteous son over the years, Qin Guogong cares more about the great cause of Zhengyang, and cares more about the showdown with the Northern Barbarians.

And this righteous son is more like a kind of political show in his youth. Although at that time, Qin Guogong sincerely wanted to accept his son, in order to preserve the bloodline of his loyal guards. And Qin Guogong's supporters saw a point that could be exploited, in other words, to brush up on favor.

Brush the goodwill of the entire military, just imagine how many soldiers can gain the goodwill of such a commander who sympathizes with his subordinates and treats his subordinates as his own brothers.

Ban Wei was one of the people who created momentum for Qin Guogong at the beginning.

And now, he thinks that his biggest task is to protect Chen Nianji, because Chen Nianji is not only a righteous son, but also an emotional bond between Qin Guogong and ordinary soldiers.

If anyone dares to touch Chen Nianji, it is to destroy the image of Qin Guogong in the eyes of the majority of soldiers.

Over the years, so many soldiers and generals have worked hard for Qin Guogong without regrets, forgetting their lives and forgetting death, Ban Wei thinks that the credit in this has his own share.

Therefore, he gave up the opportunity for promotion, preferring to be a guard commander in Hanzhong. And his contemporaries, such as Weng Bingliang, the first fierce general of Zhengyang, are now all commanders and acquaintances, and they are a whole grade higher than him.

But Ban Wei has no regrets!

"Nianji's appointment is already on the way, and it is estimated that it will be almost in the next few days. It's just that at this time, I think it's not so simple behind it! Ban Wei had a keen sense of smell, and his words were like a hammer that smashed into the hearts of those present.

Chen An looked panicked, he was just a showman, because of Chen Nianji's relationship, the talents in the officialdom gave him face, but many things were done for him by his subordinates, so when he encountered a major event, he panicked.

Chen Nianji looked indifferent, his face was more hateful, the day before yesterday he really felt that he was standing on the edge of life and death, he was scared a lot, he had nightmares for two days in a row, he had killed three maids and a servant.

Chen Nianji said angrily: "Uncle Ban, I just want to catch that bastard now, even if it is a Dacheng Realm martial artist, what about looking for the underworld, looking for the Dog Slaughter Sect!" The Zodiac killers of the Dog Slaughter Sect are not all Dacheng Realm, I am willing to spend money and invite four or five to come, and I am afraid that I will not be able to kill that person! ”

Ban Wei glanced at Chen Nianji, did not talk, he knew that Chen Nianji was now incompetent and angry, he couldn't say anything about him, so he could only ignore it, fortunately, Chen Nianji didn't dare to talk to Ban Wei, seeing that Ban Wei didn't pay attention to him, he was angry there, gritting his teeth and playing with the Buddha beads in his hand.

This is the Buddha bead from the famous temple Golden Buddha Temple, it is said that a certain host wore a jiazi, with spirituality, and the price was one hundred taels of gold!

You must know that Zhengyang's currency is mainly silver and copper, copper coinage, and silver ingots. The market price of one copper coin can buy two white steamed buns, which is enough for an ordinary person to eat for a day. A hundred copper coins are one tael of silver, and a hundred taels of silver are one tael of gold.

In other words, the string of Buddhist beads in Chen Nianji's hand was exchanged for a million copper coins!

But the money of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei is only fifteen taels of silver per month. This string of Buddhist beads is the sum of Chen Nianji's Yijiazi.

"Just a low-grade Dacheng realm, the two hundred armor soldiers I arranged in your mansion are enough to deal with it!" Ban Wei said in a deep voice. These armorers are the elite of the elite, and the physique of the average soldier can't even afford that armor. Moreover, these two hundred armor warriors have also practiced the formation, and the combined strength of ten people is enough to overwhelm the Xiaocheng Realm martial artists.

"What's even trickier than that Jianghu Ranger now is Nianji's audit!" Ban Wei knocked on the table and said in an accentuated tone: "There is the Nanzhen Fusi in the Jinyi Guard who exercises the power of the procuratorate, especially if he is promoted to the imperial capital, there will definitely be people from the Nanzhen Fusi to investigate." ”

After a pause, Ban Wei looked around, all of the high-ranking officials present were high-ranking officials in the officialdom of Hanzhong Mansion, but at this moment, they were so frightened by Ban Wei's gaze that they looked away.

"Over the years, some things have been done, but now you have to settle down! At the same time, clean up the previous beginnings and tails, this matter is not trivial, once Nianji enters the imperial capital, and when Wu Guogong officially hands over the post of governor of Zuodu, within ten years, Jinyiwei is Nianji is in charge! ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed ecstasy, and the hidden worries in Chen Anxin were also temporarily suppressed by joy, except for Chen Nianji's unhappy pouting, everyone else was overjoyed.

Ban Wei is now revealing this, in fact, he has crossed the line, but after all, he is all his own people present, and he doesn't care.

The words have been said about this, everyone understands what they should do, this appointment was personally obtained by the Duke of Jiangyin in the imperial capital, according to the rules of officialdom, so many big people shot together, just for a small thousand households, it is already enough attention.

They hadn't thought about what obstacles there would be on Nanzhen Fusi's side at all, so although everyone was also concerned about Ban Wei's words, they were more casual.

While the people were still deliberating, a soldier outside the door announced:

"Ladies and gentlemen, someone outside the mansion asked to see Chen Gongzi, saying that he was from the imperial capital."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ban Wei's body.

No, didn't it mean that there were still a few days on the road, so why did you arrive all of a sudden?

Ban Wei frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The armor man replied, "It's a few young boys. ”

Young boy?

Everyone looked at each other, all puzzled.

Ban Wei thought for a while and said to Chen Nianji: "Nianji, you go and take a look." No, I'll go with you! ”

Chen Nianji also had doubts, so he left the hall with Ban Wei, and when he arrived outside the house, he saw a few young people, sitting on a tall horse, everyone was handsome, and there were a group of guards behind him.

"Brother Chen, long time no see!" Zheng Xiao saw the main owner come out, and saluted with fists on horseback.

Zheng Xiao had been in the army for a period of time, and had a friendship with Chen Nianji at that time.

Chen Nianji thought for a moment, suddenly remembered, and then said happily: "Zheng Xiao! How did you come to Hanzhong Mansion? ”

Zheng Xiao briefly explained the intention, and introduced the people behind him to Chen Nianji, Chen Nianji smiled and invited everyone in.

When Shan Si entered the mansion, he couldn't help but look at the unsmiling man beside Chen Nianji, reminding the burly middle-aged man.

Suddenly, he stopped and thought of someone, he first saluted Ban Wei, and then asked carefully, "But General Ban Wei?" ”

Ban Wei narrowed his eyes, and seemed to think of him: "You are the seventh elder of the Yuanwei Dart Bureau?" ”

Shan Si is the best among the young people in Qin Guogong's lineage, and some of Qin Guogong's subordinates have also discussed it in private, and they have all seen portraits, so they have an impression.

originally thought it was a group of second-generation gentlemen, but at this moment, a smile finally appeared on his old-fashioned and serious face.

Shan Si is a flag-bearer of the younger generation of Qin Guogong's lineage, and his background is not bad, when these old guys are old, it is time for people like Shan Si to stand up.

Everyone was happy and entered the Chen Mansion together.

——

On the other side, Luo Fuxian was introducing Chen Nianji's power in Hanzhong Mansion to Liu Xin.

The military has Ban Wei, a hardcore supporter, and almost all the soldiers of the Han Zhongwei under his command are used by Chen Nianji. In the civil office, Chen Nianji's biological father Chen An is the prefect and the second-in-command, more than half of the civil officials in the entire Hanzhong Mansion are friendly with him, and the remaining small half are almost neutrals, and there is no political enemy of Chen Nianji in the entire Hanzhong Mansion.

And to arrest Chen Nianji here, there is no way to make such a large group of people jealous without enough big crimes. If it is just those who indulge in the crimes of murder, extortion, and wounding, it is just scratching the itch through the boots, and it has no effect. Once you use these charges to try to deal with Chen Nianji, even the governor of Shaanxi Province will not dare to despise it, not to mention that he is just a few brocade clothes and thousands of households.

Only the real big crime, the kind of robbery and extermination, can make the people gathered around Chen Nianji jealous.

But Liu Xin is not without advantages, Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for the internal supervision of Jinyiwei, and Chen Nianji's identity as Jinyiwei is his biggest flaw and weakness now.

"Liu Qianhu, if you have to check Chen Nianji, unless..." Rover thought for a long time, and seemed to have finally thought of something that could deal with Chen Nianji, but he hesitated.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Liu Xin was irritable in his heart, and he had collected a large amount of Chen Nianji's 'criminal evidence' before, but according to Luo Fuxian, these small crimes could not help Chen Nianji at all, but it was easy to eat fish and not succeed, but it would cause a fishy body.

Hearing the impatience in Liu Xin's tone, Luo Fu spoke first: "The salt mines in this Shaanxi Province are the largest in the world, and the salt mines in Shaanxi Province account for one-third of the entire Zhengyang Twenty-two Provinces. Salt and iron are the foundation of a country, and the imperial court never allows anyone to interfere in it. ”

Liu Xin heard the meaning of his words and said, "You mean, Chen Nianji is also involved in the salt mine?" ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Fuxian shook his head and said: "Luo has no conclusive evidence, but the Chen Mansion has always spent extravagantly, and Chen Nianji even said that the Chen family is making money every day." In addition to salt mines, where is there such a way to make money? ”

Liu Xin slapped the table suddenly, he was so angry, Rover didn't expect Liu Xin to be so angry, this young Qianhu is really loyal and patriotic...

In fact, what Luo Fu didn't know was that Liu Xin was angry completely because of your good Chen Nianji, the family was already so rich, and he connived at his subordinates to rob me of one or two pieces of silver!

If Chen Nianji knew that the original reason for provoking Liu Xin was because of a tael of silver, I don't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood.

"Liu Qianhu, the entire Shaanxi Province is within the control of the Northern Army Governor's Office, and all the prefectures and city officials have to look at the face of the Northern Army Governor's Office. Chen Nianji is the righteous son of Qin. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Xin already understood that Chen Nianji used his status as a righteous son of the Qin State to use the salt mine for personal gain. This is a felony, as long as evidence is found, not to mention the flies and dogs around Chen Nianji, even Qin Guogong can't protect him.

"If that's the case, then check! Lord Luo, I need someone you can trust! ”

Rover said yes again and again.

——

Somewhere in Zhengyang, in a manor that occupies a huge area and shows the royal prestige, a man wearing a robe, wearing a hat on his head, holding a long bamboo pole, sits alone by the pool in his garden.

He sat on a small pony, and beside him lay a bamboo basket, which swayed gently in the fine rain, and inside were two huge carp that still had a strong desire to survive.

In the light rain, he had been sitting like this for almost an hour, and under his coat was a set of pure white snow-like robes, which were already soaked at this time, and there were dots of mud at the hem.

A man in a power suit walked quickly to the edge of the pool, stopped precisely when he was still ten meters away from the fishing man, and took a step further, and he was greeted by death.

"Lord Wang! News came from Hanzhong that Jiang Chengdu had been arrested! The man in the suit lowered his head and was extremely respectful.

The fishing man sighed, glanced down at the carp in the bamboo basket, and slowly put away the fishing rod.

"It's okay, he was originally pushed out to give it to the emperor, and I hope that our emperor majesty can be satisfied with this gift!"

The man in the suit said again: "Master Wuzhu and the second son are asking to see each other in the side hall. ”

"Oh!" The fishing man looked up at the ray of sunlight in the sky: "It just so happens that the sky is clear, the water is not mixed and there is no fishing, let's go, don't let them wait." ”

With that, the fishing man got up, took off his coat and hat, and the man in the suit immediately took it. The fishing man was not covered by his coat and hat, revealing a perfectly handsome face, although he was middle-aged, and there were some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but this face still beat nine out of ten men in the world. Coupled with a tall figure and long straight black hair, he is simply a woman's nemesis and a man's idol.

And when this face is paired with a dark gold five-clawed dragon suit, I can only sigh

Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no such person in the world!

In the side hall of the palace, Master Wuzhu is a bald head wearing a hat on his head. He was obese, but he didn't have the greasy feeling of ordinary obese people, but a sense of freshness and elegance came to his face. Although he is dressed in regular clothes, he is compassionate between his eyebrows and eyes, his eyebrows are lowered, and he is holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, all of which are carved by precious jade, which is priceless!

Beside him, stood a young man, very young, tall and tall, although not very burly, but also standing like a loose posture. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a perfect man who gets six or seven points, and he is also a peerless son. He wore a long shirt and a jade around his waist, dressed as a scholar.

When the perfect man came in, Master Wuzhu was chatting with the second son, and when he saw the perfect man come in, one got up and saluted and saw the prince, and the other said that he had seen his father.

The perfect man smiled gently and sat down Master Wuzhu, while the second son stood respectfully to the side.

The three of them went straight to the topic, and Master Wuzhu said with a smile: "The affairs of Hanzhong Mansion have been laid out, the account books have been replaced, as long as Chen Nianji is convicted and imprisoned, one million taels of silver will be counted!" ”

The perfect man's face was calm, as if it should have been like this, and he bowed slightly: "Good job." ”

Master Wuzhu smiled, like a Maitreya Buddha. The second son, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and asked, "Father, why don't you use this matter to attack the Duke of Qin?" ”

The perfect man looked sideways and said with a smile: "You are his pro-army, how can you say such things to your own commander?" ”

The second prince said with a look of course: "One yard is one yard, as a pro-army, of course I am loyal to him." But as a son, of course, you have to think about your father! ”

The perfect man laughed and looked at Master Wuzhu, who explained with a smile: "Wu Guogong is old and takes the initiative to abdicate. The only one who can replace him is Qin Guogong, and no matter how big Chen Nianji's matter is, it will be a loss to Qin Guogong, and it is impossible to make him hurt his muscles and bones. The emperor will not agree either! If we force our move, we will only expose our arrangement in advance, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

After a pause, Master Wuzhu continued: "Take down Chen Nianji, one is for the layout, the second is for his dirty silver, and the third is for him."

Speaking of this, Master Wuzhu glanced at the perfect man sitting at the top, and saw that the perfect man had no expression, so he continued: "The third is to use Chen Nianji, some people in the military will leave Qin Guogong's camp, even if they don't show it directly, they will inevitably have seeds planted in their hearts. The reason why Zhu Guangxiao became the god of war in Zhengyang is because he has never lost, even if it is a short loss, he can win it back quickly. And Tuoba Yunhan, who succeeded him, almost failed because of greed for merit twenty years ago, and Chen Nianji was actually a wake-up call for him. In the next 20 years, he won many battles, and only then did he have the influence that is now comparable to Zhu Guangxiao. But as soon as Chen Nianji's matter came out, Tuoba Yunhan was already defeated in this matter, and he was powerless to resist. ”

Speaking of this, the intelligent second prince had already understood, and he continued: "Qin Guogong has not tasted defeat for twenty years, so he is qualified to inherit the position of Wu Guogong's god of war, and there are more people who cling to him, and these forces can be concentrated together to let him take charge of the military." And Chen Nianji's incident made everyone see that Qin Guogong was not invincible, and he also had weaknesses, so some people no longer supported Qin Guogong so firmly in their hearts. It is equivalent to Qin Guogong's undefeated golden body, there are cracks, flaws! ”

Master Wuzhu smiled and said, "Ami... Ahem, the second son is right. Officialdom is not a battlefield, not a life-and-death situation, but a chaotic situation of hello, hello, hello, everyone, you die and he seeks to survive, in other words, there is no monolith in officialdom, and the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill! ”

The perfect man concluded at this time: "This is officialdom, second, you are still young, do your own thing, don't share your mind on too many things, you don't have that control!" ”

The second son bowed his head: "Thank you for your father's teaching!" ”
