Tu Shanyue and Yang Fan looked at each other. This group of people must live in Chen Juren's house, and then asked: "Are you familiar with Chen Juren's house?"
"It's familiar. Even if the little one closes his eyes, he won't get lost in his house. Chen Juren's father, Mrs. Chen, is the patriarch of our Chen family. During the holidays, we have to give gifts and help with work. I’ve been used to it since I was young.”
Tu Shanyue nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't be afraid of his revenge. You can lead the way and explain everything about the Chen family to us clearly. If this matter is done, you don't have to stay in Tanggu anymore. Mr. Yang has A hundred-household residence will take your whole family there."
Chen Guzi trembled and said in fear: "Military household, this is absolutely impossible. I still want to have a scholar in my descendants, so that I will never suffer the pain of being blind."
Tu Shanyue laughed angrily and cursed: "What do you know, you rough guy? Not only did the military households under Mr. Yang not hand over grains for farming, nor do they do corvee work, nor did they have to work for the superiors, but they also followed the policy of Emperor Taizu at that time. The family is divided into fifty acres of irrigated land.”
"What, fifty acres of water to irrigate the land," Chen Guzi was knocked unconscious by a big pie weighing one ton that fell from the sky.
Oh my god, my family has been cultivating sixty-seven acres of land for generations.
Today, as long as I agree to follow Mr. Yang and complete this errand, I will be given fifty acres of land, which will be irrigated and the harvest will be guaranteed despite droughts and floods.
Chen Guzi has always been able to seize opportunities. Since Chen Juren is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
The hatred for killing his father is irreconcilable.
God's eyes are open, you are going to be unlucky today.
"Two gentlemen, don't worry. I don't know how many mice there are in his house. There is nothing else I don't know about. I will definitely run the errand for you."
Seeing that he agreed, Yang Fan decided to give him another reassurance and said: "You are not doing things for us. We are from Dongchang and we are doing things according to the orders from above. You don't have to worry about anything later."
"This Chen Juren has collaborated with bandits and is involved in this serious crime of rebellion. His house will be ransacked. You don't have to worry about his family taking revenge on you from now on."
After speaking, Yang Fan lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing a Dongchang waist badge.
Chen Guzi's eyes widened. Although he was illiterate, the waistband didn't look fake at first glance.
This group of people was so elite that even the Japanese soldiers I had seen earlier could not catch up with them, so I immediately believed them.
Isn’t it true that working for Dongchang is working for the emperor? Hehe, Mr. Chen, you and your son are also here today. You colluded with the gangsters to plot evil and provoked Dongchang. You are really asking for your own death. You will take revenge on me today. great hatred.
"Don't worry, sir. I will swear allegiance to you to the death."
At the same time, Yangliuqing Town, Chen Mansion.
The Chen family is a prominent local family and has lived here for more than three hundred years. There have always been scholars in the family who have achieved fame and have enjoyed the privileges of scholars for a long time.
Chen Mansion covers an area of more than 30 acres. It is a five-entry courtyard house with more than 300 years of construction. The East Cross Courtyard and the West Cross Courtyard are also quadrangles with five entrances, and there is a back garden at the back. Behind the back garden, separated by an artificial lake, is the backyard where the female family members live.
At this time, in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion in the back garden, a young man in his twenties was sitting on a chair in the middle, and an old man in his seventies was sitting under the Prime Minister. Behind the old man stood Chen Juren waiting on him.
"It's been nearly ten years since we parted ways with Mr. Muzhai," the old man said with emotion.
This old man is none other than Mrs. Chen.
The old man and Qian Muzhai were both Jinshis in the same year, but they were successful at a young age and won the Jinshi at the age of twenty-eight, while Mr. Chen won the Jinshi at the age of sixty-two. Eighteen years have passed, and Qian Muzhai has become famous all over the world. Mr. Chen only served as county magistrate for one term before he was dismissed by the officials because of his age.
"My uncle also mentioned Mr. Yi De many times, praising the old man for his unyielding character. In the case of fighting for the foundation of the country, although the old man was only a mere student, he did not lag behind others in everything. He was humble and did not dare to forget about the country. It is true that This is an example for our future generations." The young man also praised.
"Haha, old man, old man. He is no longer as brave as he used to be. Now the world is dominated by you young people." He spoke modestly, and the old man felt quite proud of himself.
"The old gentleman is too self-effacing. Now the eunuchs are rebelling and the court is full of smoke. Although the Holy Lord has just come to court, he is isolated and helpless. It is the time when the old gentleman has regained his courage. You cannot say that you are old, you cannot say that you are old. "
The old man is an old man. He has been secretly discussing with his son since he received Qian Muzhai's letter. Although the Donglin Party was suppressed by Jiu Qiansui and was at a low ebb for a while, judging from the situation after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, there is something bad about the eunuch Party. .
Now the various forces in North Korea and China are gradually uniting in an attempt to wrest power back from the hands of the eunuchs. The new emperor will not let the eunuch family dominate, and the situation of living alone will soon change.
Just at this time, Qian Qianyi sent a letter, asking Mr. Chen to help prepare food and grass, and promised that after the matter was completed, he would secretly work among the officials to create a county magistrate position for Chen Juren.
"Don't worry, my dear nephew. Although I am old, I still understand the principle of cherishing the old age if I want to eliminate evil for the sage. I have prepared five thousand loads of rice. We can go on the road together tomorrow when my nephew sets off. "
The young man at the head clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's great. With Yi Degong's help, we no longer have any worries. It's getting late, so my nephew won't disturb the old gentleman's rest."
"My dear nephew, please rest early." Old Mrs. Chen cupped her hands.
At this time, the courtyard of the Chen Mansion was filled with three thousand people brought by Mr. Qian. In various courtyards, large pots were set up to stew freshly slaughtered fat pigs, and they were drinking wine from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat.
A group of big men in Xikuoyuan were sitting on the ground, eating pork elbows and pig head meat with new sauce, and drinking Shandong Lotus White. A strong man with one eye fiercely tore an elbow, put down the elbow, picked up a porcelain bowl, and drank. A swig of wine.
"It's his grandma's fault. I've been talking like a bird all the way. Damn you little money man. Women aren't allowed to play, money isn't allowed to bet, and money isn't allowed to bet. You're not allowed to do business. I'm so depressed that I can't stand it anymore."
A big man with a sallow complexion next to him said: "Just bear with it, we will arrive at the capital in two days. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while. Back then, they were all taken over by the Qian family when they were desperate. After raising them for so many years, now they have to use us to do things." , if you dare to pull your crotch, if the Qian family just says a word, you will no longer have to prance around in Songjiang Mansion."
"Brother Ning, Mr. Qian said that the Governor's soldiers and horses came from Yangzhou to Beijing, and King Qin asked us to go to Beijing to lurk, wait for orders, and cooperate internally and externally to help the Holy Emperor clear out the eunuchs. It doesn't sound like much at first, but think about it carefully. , but something is wrong. Why do I feel that if we are making such a fuss, then if Wei Eun is anxious, it may be detrimental to the emperor." Another leader-looking man said.
"Huh, now the Wei eunuch in Beijing has his hands over the sky. The Minister of War and the factory guards are all in the hands of Wei eunuch. Many people in the 12th regiment camp have been secretly replaced. No nobles dare to compete with Wei eunuch for power. The emperor is newly established. Isolated and helpless. People's hearts have not yet attached themselves. At this time, it is easy to be quiet and not easy to move, and things will be smoother when things are slow. Ordinarily, we should not push Wei Yi in such a hurry, but who knows what those adults think, we can't help ourselves, our family members are all here Qian family, don’t think so much, you have already become a pawn crossing the river, just take it one step at a time."
