Chapter 268: Arrangement
Walking in the corridor of the back house, the smile on Chen Benxian's face disappeared.
After sending Duan Houning's three families away, Chen Benxian couldn't stay in the front yard, and he attached great importance to Chen Xiaoting's return to Guangde.
While walking forward, Chen Benxian said: "Go and find out the news, what is the situation of the Baihu Institute recently!"
Behind him was the housekeeper, and as soon as Chen Xiaoting came back, he was worried about what would happen on the side of the Baihu Office.
Rooted in Guangde for so many years, Chen Benxian also has eyeliner in the hundred households, although it cannot be said to be a bribe, but it is still possible to listen to some simple news.
If there was really any big move in the hundred households, it would be impossible to hide it from his eyes.
After the steward received the order, Chen Benxian continued to move forward, bypassing the two courtyards, and he came to a wing room.
When you open the door, you will see that it is full of precious jade vessels, and any suggestion will sell for a good price.
Therefore, this is the forbidden land of the Chen Mansion, and no one is allowed to trespass, including several young masters in the mansion.
After closing the door, Chen Benxian came to the back of the desk, sat down, turned off the incense burner on the table, and then scraped the spices with a knife.
The room remembered the sound of knives rubbing against wood, and at the same time Chen Benxian spoke: "A few days ago, Han Yu from Luyang sent a letter, saying that Benliang was killed by Chen Xiaoting, what do you think?"
Although he was speaking to the air, a deep voice sounded in the room at this time: "Lord Divine Envoy, according to the opinion of his subordinates, this is likely to be Han Yu's plan to kill people with a knife!"
"He wants us to help him deal with Shen Yue, so he will send such a letter now!"
After getting the opinion, Chen Benxian then asked: "You say, have I been exposed?"
This is what Chen Benxian is most worried about, his behind-the-scenes identity must not see the light, otherwise it will be a catastrophe.
But at this time, the man in the secret closed his mouth, and said for a long time: "God has made the master strategic, and it is impossible to expose it!"
In order to clean himself up, Chen Benxian did not hesitate to deliberately expose some sect members, and it took so many deaths to appease Zhou Wenzhu.
At this time, Chen Benxian sighed and said: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and it is difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Chen Benxian never said this, and he would never have said it in the past.
Even he didn't know why he had become so unconfident, could it be that he was afraid?
This idea was snuffed out by Chen Benxian before it came out, once he embarked on this road, he couldn't go back, he could only grit his teeth and continue to move forward for the sake of the family.
"You send someone to check again according to the letter, and see how Ben Liang died!" Chen Benxian said in a deep voice.
Secretly, the man said, "My subordinates understand!"
After slowly pouring the scraped spices into the incense burner, Chen Benxian continued: "Pay attention to the hundred households, this time will not be peaceful, as soon as there is any trouble, report to me immediately!"
Although he had sent his subordinates to find out the situation, Chen Benxian still made two preparations, and the shadow inquiry news reassured him even more.
"God reassures your lordship that your subordinates will arrange manpower!" The voice whispered.
After the incense is lit with a fire fold and the lid is closed, a few wisps of green smoke emerge from the incense burner, giving off a mellow fragrance.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Benxian continued: "What is Chen Xiaoting doing, you also sent someone to follow the day before yesterday, he is the biggest variable!"
As Duan Guoan and others said, Chen Xiaoting's appearance is always not a good thing, and even Chen Benxian has a shadow on this.
Of course, to put this bluntly, he is still not confident, and he is a thief.
At this time, a secret voice said: "After Chen Xiaoting entered the city a few days ago, his subordinates have implemented this matter, but no abnormal situation has been found!"
Speaking of this, the secret voice continued: "It's just that Chen Xiaoting sent someone to guard his home, and it seems to be guarding us!"
"So, you think it's too much of a coincidence, and then think it's Shen Han and the two fighting?" Chen Benxian asked rhetorically.
Han Yucai wrote a letter to him, and Chen Xiaoting came from Luyang to protect his family, which is indeed a direct embodiment of the fighting methods of Shen and Han.
If you say so, it means that Chen Xiaoting came here to protect his family and has no other purpose.
But even so, Chen Benxian didn't dare to take it lightly, and only listened to him: "Let the sect members below, don't move in the near future, we can't be careless!"
Secretly, the man thought about it, and then said: "What the adult said is very true, and the villain goes back to pass the word!"
Therefore, Chen Benxian, with his own caution, blocked Zhou Wenzhu's unexpected thoughts.
It is almost impossible to catch Chen Benxian's flaws directly.
"Let's get to work!" Chen Benxian sighed.
Don't look at him as the head of the gentry of Guangde, the scenery is incomparable, but his pressure is only known to him.
Rubbing his forehead, Chen Benxian still felt that his head was swollen and painful, and no matter how expensive incense was, it couldn't be alleviated in the slightest.
And in the palace not far away, the prefect Li Changshan also frowned.
After the last counterfeit drug incident, Chen Licheng, one of the three major bosses of the government, died, which had an extremely bad impact on the Guangde government.
And the one who suffers the most is Li Changshan, as the prefect, he has to bear full responsibility for this, and the result is that all his years of political achievements are nullified.
But now, Guangde hasn't been quiet for long, and Yongxi Qianhu has sent someone again, which makes Li Changshan's heart hang again.
"Moreover, it's still the kid named Chen Xiaoting!" Li Changshan said coldly.
At this time, he saw the new general judge Wu Xiu walk into the lobby and said to Li Changshan: "My lord, there was another murder in Taixi this morning, and the person who was killed was a local family, and his head was still cut off!"
This kind of murder is already the third in two months, and the murderer has not been caught all this time.
And the murderer kills people in such a cruel way, not like ordinary hatred and entanglement of interests, but more like a ritual.
Although neither Li Changshan nor Wu Xiu expressed their stance on this point of view, they actually held this view, and guessed that it was probably the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves.
It stands to reason that if the White Lotus Sect is involved in the thieves, it will be handed over to Jinyiwei to deal with, but this matter was suppressed by Li Changshan.
A series of things that happened in Guangde before had already given Li Changshan a headache, if the matter of the White Lotus Sect was poked out, then what face would he have as an official and rule the people.
So, Li Changshan said: "You personally supervise this matter, take more people down to take a look, and you must catch the murderer!"
And if he is lucky enough, he can destroy some White Lotus Sect dens while solving the case, which will also be of some benefit to Li Changshan.
Since Li Changshan has ordered so, Wu Xiu can't say anything, in fact, he still has some experience in solving the case.
After reporting the situation, Wu Xiu flashed, and Li Changshan was left alone in the lobby again.
After the pressure of the serial murder case, Li Changshan was less worried about Jinyiwei, and he was even more worried about the White Lotus Sect.
"It seems that I have to find Zhou Wenzhu to find out his tone!" Li Changshan said slowly.
The first is to inquire whether Zhou Wenzhu is clear about the serial murder case, and the second is to inquire about Chen Xiaoting's intention to return to Guangde.
To be honest, the mentality of Li Changshan and Chen Benxian is somewhat similar now.
It's all because of Chen Xiaoting's arrival, and I feel uneasy in my heart.
No matter what a person's inner thoughts are, but from the outside, it seems that there is no wave, and the government and the Chen mansion have remained calm.
The only place to be more lively is in the miserable Big Tree Alley in Guangde, where Chen Xiaoting's day of marrying a wife is approaching.
