royal palace.
Royal study room!
"You mean, Zhao Changying and the other three old guys went to Prince Xuanyong's Mansion?"
"Exactly!"
"What did you say?"
"this……"
Jian Nan had a look of embarrassment on his face, and Emperor Yu also realized that Ning Fan was in charge of the Jin Yi Guards, so how could the secret guards detect Prince Xuan Yong's palace?
"The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei has rushed to Shuzhou!"
"In just one day, a lot of the Chen family's dirty secrets were exposed, causing uproar throughout the city!"
"The reputation of the Chen family has also plummeted, and the people of Shuzhou are very resentful!"
When Jiannan mentioned the information about Shuzhou, Emperor Yu suddenly looked serious: "This Jia Xu is a talented person. First, he will defeat the Chen family's reputation, and then with a thunderous blow, the resistance will definitely be reduced a lot!"
"Having won the hearts and minds of the people, it is justifiable to attack the Chen family again!"
"Your Majesty!" Jiannan said with a solemn look on his face, "Former Taifu Shen Li has arrived in Beijing!"
"Now I'm staying at Prince Xuanyong's Mansion. Today at dusk, His Highness and his two guards will personally come out of the city to greet you."
"This boy actually invited Mr. Shen here?"
Emperor Yu had a look of surprise on his face and murmured: "How on earth did he do it?"
"Your Majesty!" Jiannan said with a respectful salute: "His Second Highness did not come forward this time, but an aide from Prince Xuanyong's Mansion went to Jiangnan in person!"
"It's not that simple!"
"Back then, the teacher left Beijing angrily and swore not to enter the temple. He was full of indignation!"
"Nowadays, great changes have taken place, and yet I am willing to re-certify my official title!"
"This staff is not simple!"
Emperor Yu pondered for a long time and then said softly: "Since the Jin Yiwei are ready to take action, you should also go to Jiangnan in person to prevent any unexpected events!"
"promise!"
…
Shuzhou.
The Chen family mansion!
As one of the four prominent families of Dayu, the people of Shuzhou might not be able to find the county governor's mansion, but they would never be able to find the Chen family residence.
This house has been located in Yuzhou for hundreds of years, which is even longer than the history of Dayu. Over the centuries, rulers have changed one after another, the world has been renewed, and the world has changed. But in front of this house, Lao Huai The tree has gone through hundreds of years, and no one has cut off a single branch or leaf!
Because this is Chen Mansion!
Ranked among the four prominent families!
In the courtyard, the pavilions, terraces and pavilions are staggered and magnificent, no less than a royal palace!
In a majestic hall, an old man in rich clothes sat at the head, his face as sinking as water!
"Have you checked it out?"
"Father, someone is causing trouble secretly. The untouchables who made trouble back then were bewitched by others and stood up to criticize our Chen family!"
"Now the second child's matter has caused a stir in the entire Shuzhou!"
"Asshole!"
The old man slammed the table and said angrily: "Shuzhou is the territory of my Chen family!"
"Who dares to make trouble in front of our house?"
"Inform the county magistrate to put all those untouchables in jail and find out who is behind the scenes!"
"I want to see who dares to pull out a tooth from the tiger's mouth of my Chen family!"
"yes!"
The two middle-aged men standing respectfully below bowed respectfully. The old man gradually calmed down his anger and said calmly: "Is there any news from the capital?"
"Father, none of the people we sent out have ever come back!"
"wrong……"
The old man seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a serious voice: "What can be found in the weapons private workshop?"
"Never!"
The two middle-aged men lowered their heads with shame on their faces. The head of the Chen family looked increasingly gloomy, with a deep and tranquil look in his eyes.
"First there was an incident at the weapons private shop, and then there was a loss of contact with the capital. Now my Chen family is being pushed into the spotlight!"
"Who has so much energy?"
"Is it possible that that person is planning to attack my Chen family?"
Listening to his father's murmur, Chen Yunlin, the eldest son of the Chen family, said: "Father, even the Barbarian God Temple of the Southern Barbarians and the Yanlong Guards of Dayan are getting involved in the private affairs!"
"It may not be the fault of the imperial court. Moreover, there is a fourth son in the capital who is in charge of the new army, and the third son has even won over a group of important officials in the court. How dare Emperor Yu dare to attack us?"
"Don't forget that if Dayu leaves my Chen family, the country will perish!"
"Eldest brother is right!" The second son Chen Fan also nodded in agreement and said softly: "Father, I guess that some wealthy families may be behind this secretly. Over the years, my Chen family has grown day by day, and the other three families are naturally Some can’t sit still!”
"shut up!"
The head of the Chen family looked increasingly gloomy and shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Boss, please send someone to investigate this matter immediately!"
"Go to the Sheriff's Mansion in person and see if there is anything unusual there!"
"Second brother, immediately send more manpower to go to the capital to investigate!"
"yes!"
The second son left in a hurry, and a figure wearing a black robe walked out of the side of the hall and said softly: "Master, if my prediction is correct, the one in the palace should not be able to sit still!"
"Um?"
The head of the Chen family's expression turned tense and he murmured, "Did he notice something?"
"We have to guard against it!"
"In your opinion, sir, how should we deal with it?"
The old man in black robe pondered for a long time and said softly: "Inform the direction of Huainan and let them move!"
"Secretly mobilize our Black Dragon Army into the valley outside the city to prevent any unexpected events!"
Hearing the words of the old man in black robe, the head of the Chen family suddenly turned his face and sighed sadly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid that even if the court doesn't know anything, they should have noticed something abnormal by now!"
"Master, this is related to my Chen family's century-old plan, so I have to guard against it!"
"good!"
…
In an ordinary house, a man wearing a plain gown and a turban sat quietly in front of the case.
There was a knock on the door, and two burly men walked in.
"Sir, just now, the Chen family sent out another group of spies!"
"Did you stop it?"
"Um!"
"Have you found out what you were asked to investigate?"
Jia Xu asked with a sharp look in his eyes and a very calm tone.
"Sir, the Chen family hides more than ten thousand soldiers in a mountain valley in the west of the city!"
"Um?"
Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a serious voice: "Is the news accurate?"
"Our people went to investigate in person, and the information is accurate!"
"What a Chen family!" Jia Xu said with a chuckle: "A family can secretly support more than ten thousand private troops. If I hadn't gone to Shuzhou in person, I'm afraid he would have kept it secret!"
"Sir, the people in the city have been aroused to public outrage. Do we want to take action?"
"no!"
Jia Xu sighed softly and said sadly: "If these more than ten thousand fine armors are not removed, we will not be able to move for a day!"
"Quickly spread the news to the capital and let His Highness make a decision!"
"As you command!"
After the two Jinyi guards left, Jia Xu's face also showed a hint of deepness. Now that the Chen family is raising private soldiers, they will not let them control it. Once the army of the three princes comes, they will definitely alert the enemy!
It might even force the Chen family to unite with Huainan to start a rebellion directly!
This is really troublesome!
