The fire was raging and smoke billowed into the sky.
Qingfeng Village has turned into a sea of fire, burning this prestigious village to the ground.
Chen Changan strode down the mountain, leaving only a handsome figure behind. A real man never looks back to see the explosion.
He rushed all the way back to Dali County. Although Chen Changan killed many people here, including the county magistrate Xu Hou, the entire Cui family, and Fu Biao's troops, he even attacked every wealthy gentry here. All over, but he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He just came back from the city gate openly and moved into the Chen family compound.
The main character is arrogant and domineering.
I haven't been back for a while, and the Chen family compound is even more dilapidated, with overgrown weeds and cobwebs. There is no need to set up a scene for a ghost movie. There is such a big difference between a house that is occupied and a house that is not occupied.
Chen Changan sighed inwardly for three seconds. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything at all. He was a little sad, but not much. The once lively home has turned into this ghostly state, and everyone close to him has died. Chen Changan will feel lonely and alone, but he enjoys this loneliness.
Regarding the living conditions that social terrorists dream of, isn’t it what Chen Changan is like now? A person has money and leisure, no worries about food and drink, a big house to live in, and a red romantic super membership card. The key is that Chen Changan has a system, a mission, and a goal. He always has something to do and won't go crazy out of boredom.
Chen Changan took a shower and changed clothes, and had a good night's sleep. When he got up the next day, he had eaten and drank enough to adjust to his best condition, and rubbed his hands together to prepare for the lottery. Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door. Chen Changan was very surprised. Who is not afraid of death and dares to knock on the Chen family's door? With a murderous maniac like Chen Changan out there, who would mess with him when they have nothing to do?
Opening the door, there was a government servant standing outside with a flattering smile on his face, who looked familiar.
"Master Chen, you are back."
Faced with this kind of knowing question, Chen Changan frowned and said, "What? Is something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" The yamen servant waved his hands hurriedly, like a lucky cat, for fear that Chen Chang'an might misunderstand, "How could something happen to me! Master Chen, I'm fine, nothing happened at all!"
The yamen servant was so frightened that he was shaking all over, fearing that he was about to urinate. Chen Changan was very puzzled. He was so timid, why did he come to the door?
"Then what are you doing?"
"Master Chen, I am Qixi," the Yamen servant nodded and said, "I have been a guest in your house, and I have some friendship with Mr. Chen."
Chen Changan thought for a moment and realized that this Qixi was indeed an acquaintance. The Chen family also opened its doors to do business at the beginning, and it was inevitable to welcome people and send them off. Of course, Chen Zhidong also cultivated some relationships in the yamen, and Qixi was one of them.
When Qixi saw Chen Changan nodding, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It would be good if he recognized him. An acquaintance would never start a fight even if they disagree.
"Master Chen, actually, actually, I came because I had to come because of my fate. I have nothing else to do. I just want to ask you... what have you been doing recently? When... when will you leave?"
"Huh? Drive me away?" Chen Changan raised his eyebrows.
Qixi almost knelt down, "No, no, no, no! Master Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely don't mean this. How dare I? No one in Dali County dares to drive you away. I just came to ask, just to ask, no." Anything else."
What's going on? Chen Changan felt puzzled, so he asked about it, and Qixi knew everything, and Chen Changan understood the reason.
Dali County is located in a remote area, and the local government power is limited. However, this limited official power was taken over by Chen Changan. The county magistrate died, his inspection department was eliminated, three squads of government officials were killed and two squads were killed, and even the local garrison was uprooted by Chen Changan. At this time, the imperial decree has not yet been issued, and the new county magistrate has not yet arrived. Dali County is in an absolute vacuum of power. The largest authority in the county is Feng Linshan, the county magistrate.
The county magistrate only has three or two kittens under his command, and the security in the city is difficult to control, let alone compete with Chen Changan. Chen Changan came back from the city gate in a big way, and so many people saw it. Now the county magistrate was worried to death. How could he have the courage to trouble Chen Changan? Isn't that the old birthday girl hanging himself? Looking for death. But if such a serious criminal in the government is left alone, he will still not be able to get away with it if the news spreads.
Chen Changan's blatant killing of officials has extremely bad consequences. The court will definitely not ignore him and will definitely send special personnel to arrest him. However, no matter how the court decides, that will be a matter for the future. Now, the first question that the county magistrate must consider is what he will do. Dealing with the current embarrassing situation?
It was impossible to capture Chen Changan. When the Dali County government was at its strongest, it couldn't do anything to Chen Changan, let alone now. It's not good to just leave it alone. When the people from the court come in the future, and the county magistrate turns a blind eye to Chen Changan, then the chair under his butt will definitely not be able to sit in it, and he may even be decapitated.
So after thinking hard for a long time, the county magistrate finally came up with a brilliant idea.
"The county magistrate knows that I have some friendship with Mr. Chen, and you are familiar with Mr. Chen at least, so he specially asked me to discuss this matter with Mr. Chen."
"You mean, the county magistrate wants to spend money to buy peace? And you want to ask me to act in a play?"
"Yes, Master Chen, as long as you have left Dali County recently and come back after the new county magistrate takes office, the county magistrate has said that any request you make can be negotiated. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate in a play , the county magistrate is very grateful, there will definitely be generous rewards!"
When something goes wrong, whoever has the biggest responsibility is the one who has the biggest responsibility. Now the county magistrate is the biggest, and the responsibility for Chen Changan's affairs lies with him. When the new county magistrate comes in the future, the responsibility belongs to the new county magistrate. Chen Changan understood this, and as for cooperating in a play, it was not beyond negotiation.
Who has a grudge against money? Although I don’t care about money, the more of this thing the better.
"In this case, you ask the county magistrate to come, and we can discuss it face to face, so that he can rest assured that I will not do anything to him if the business cannot be done without righteousness."
"This..." Qixi looked embarrassed, "Master Chen, how about this, you just state your request directly, and I will convey it on your behalf."
"Then you go back and tell him, 200,000 taels, no matter how much less, I will leave as soon as the money is available, so as not to cause any trouble for him."
"Two...two hundred thousand taels..."
"Just go back and tell him that whether you agree or not is his business. Hey, Chen is in Dali County, and he is not the only one who is restless. You tell the county magistrate that this is not one person's business, but everyone's business. "
Qixi was convinced, so she went back and told the county magistrate what she had said. After hearing this, the magistrate immediately understood what Chen Changan meant.
"That's right, this is not my fault! When those people offered a reward to Chen Chang'an, their silver reward hadn't been spent yet. Now is the time to use this money. Qixi, take someone to inform the county All the wealthy gentry, especially those who participated in the fight for the Chen family's property, are asked to come to the county government to discuss matters. Anyone who dares not to do so will be punished as a thief!"
