Chapter 12: The Mansion Will Fall (Part I)
There was a muffled bang, accompanied by a scream that was trying to suppress it, and the next moment, a crisp cracking sound came from Chen Ju's study.
Huang De covered his head with his hand, and the skin on his forehead that peeked from between his fingers was dark blue. As soon as he let go, he could see that the tumor on his forehead was about the size of his neck. Beneath his feet were shards of stone. Just look at the warmth of the stone fragments, as well as the sleek phoenix eyes on one of the fragments, you can know that the predecessor of this stone fragment must be a rare high-grade inkstone. Now that he is crushed on the ground, it is a pity to look at it.
was smashed on the head with an inkstone, but Huang Bantou, who has always been very arrogant, didn't even dare to scream in pain. Only press the sore spot, and stand honestly. But the blow on his head was heavy enough, and although there was no blood, Venus was shining in front of him, and his head was buzzing, like a thousand shining flies circling around him.
took the Duan Yan worth a thousand gold and threw it at the one with Huang Deyong's head, looking at Huang Deyong's unsteady appearance in pain, he approached the very concerned Hush Han and asked warmly: "Huang Bantou, does it hurt?" ”
As soon as the man said it in his ear, Huang Deyong trembled, hurriedly put down his hand, and stood solemnly with his head down, and the two tumors reflected each other one after another. Just looking at the way he bared his teeth, it must have hurt a lot. There are not many people in Qinzhou City who can make Huang Da Ma honest, but there is only Chen Ju who can make him afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Ju, who is nearly fifty years old, is inconspicuous in appearance, medium in height, dark and thin. Ke Sheng is loyal and simple in appearance, kind and pleasing to the eye, and always has a humble smile on his face. To the young man, he was an amiable elder, and to the chief, he was a credible subordinate. Such a sincere person can win the favor of his boss at first sight, if he can do things effectively, which chief will not be trusted?
It was this seemingly kind middle-aged man who made several magistrates leave with hatred, and how many officials were helpless. Chen Ju's power is not only limited to Chengji County, in the army, Chen Ju has people, in the Fan Department, Chen Ju has people, and in the capital, Chen Ju still has people. There was once a master book of Jinshi status who wanted to challenge Chen Ju's status. But the final result was that the main bookkeeper was demoted to Qiongya Island, and the wife and daughter of the main bookkeeper were included in the house for Chen Ju together. Chen Ju has controlled the internal and external affairs of Chengji County for 30 years, and his roots are becoming more and more deep.
Chen Ju glanced at Huang Deyong again, and the disgust in his eyes flashed. Huang De is better at being obedient and easy to use, so even if he is a little greedy, he never takes it to heart. Who would have thought that for a little girl who was only twelve years old, there would be such a big mess.
Thinking of this, Chen Ju hated even more in his heart: 'At the age of sixteen, he dared to go out alone to study and travel thousands of miles, how could such a person be easy to get along with?!' And he is also a disciple of Mr. Hengqu, and he doesn't want to think about how many families there are among his classmates! How many friends does his teacher have! ’
There is also Liu Xian, who is self-proclaimed and smart, and Chen Ju also hates iron and steel. Han Gang is a big person who has no evidence, and dares to turn his face directly with Huang Dama on the street, which is clearly a bold and bold bachelor's temper. Such a person even put him in the position of the Dexianfang armory, just thinking that he could kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't think about what it means to fight chickens and eggs? He Chen Ju only received eighty yuan, and gave the position of the prison arsenal to the timid and fearful Zhou Feng, what was it for?!
Stepping on the fragments of the inkstone, Chen Ju paced heavily in the hall. This inkstone is his favorite inkstone, and it is also a stone from the old pit. It took a lot of effort for him to get it from a dilapidated official eunuch's house, and if he took it out to sell, it would cost thousands of times. But now there was a creaking and creaking sound under his feet.
Chen Ju crushed the inkstone fragments with the soles of his shoes, wishing that these stones were Han Gang's face, and he could step on the soles of his feet fiercely!
This is Chen Ju's study, in addition to Huang Deyong, there are actually seven or eight people standing high and low on the side. They were all Chen Ju's cronies, and when the armory incident occurred, they were urgently summoned by Chen Ju. They watched an inkstone smash on Huang Dama's head, and they were all silent, for fear that Chen Ju would transfer his anger to them.
They were all waiting, waiting for someone to send further news back.
More drums are beating, listening to the drums, I just handed in the third watch. * It was the second watch day when it spread throughout Qinzhou City, and only an hour had passed by this time, and the first quarter moon in the sky had not even risen to the zenith.
After all, Qinzhou City has a curfew, patrolling the city, changing husbands, laying soldiers on hidden fires, and defending soldiers patrolling back and forth on the towering city walls. A complete set of strict supervision system makes it difficult to move through the streets and alleys of Qinzhou City at night. Chen Juneng received the news in less than a quarter of an hour after the incident at the Dexianfang Armory, and after more than half an hour, he found out his subordinates from all corners of the city, and his great power can also be seen.
Finally, when the drum was beating at the third watch, a cronie came in to report: "Charge Si, Second Master Liu is back!" ”
Everyone in the study was in good spirits. Chen Ju hurriedly said: "Don't hurry up and invite the second master in!" ”
Liu Xian heard the news and dragged his heavy feet into Chen Ju's study. He atoned for his sins tonight and sold all his strength to find out the news. I was blind, and I caught a five-step cauliflower snake upside down, and now I was bitten hard, and even if I died, I could only blame myself for not having eyes.
"Where are you now?" Seeing Liu Xian come in, Chen Ju asked anxiously.
"Now it's all in the state office. Han San, Wang Wu and Wang Jiu are all. Liu Xian shook his head as he spoke, "I didn't go to prison!" ”
The rule at this time is this, whether you are guilty or not, before you are convicted, you must go through prison. And Han Gang, Wang Wu, and Wang Jiu all had blood on their hands, and according to the law, they were going to be imprisoned at that time. And Wu Yan did not act according to the law, and it was clear that the charges had been identified to Liu San and the people behind him. Everyone present is an old man, how can they not understand? The look was also more uneasy.
"Don't worry, it's just a trifle." Chen Ju gently reassured his subordinates, he didn't believe that a poor man could really turn the world upside down. But Han Gang's ruthlessness and decisiveness made Chen Ju see the shadow of his youth. He couldn't help but sigh a little, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and only young people can be so careless about future troubles.
Liu Xian gave Chen an idea: "Han Gang can actually be put aside for the time being, and the most important thing is the armory. As long as the holes in the armory are not found out, Liu San's matter can be pushed away. ”
"It's just a deficit of 10,000 yuan, just fill it up, and take the money from me." Chen Ju said it was an understatement, but he could take out thousands of family fortunes casually, which was rare even in the city of Tokyo, "In addition to the money, the deficit in weapons was checked before this morning, and the difference was borrowed from Zhao Bin, and Li Xianggong would not find out how much he went to the capital [Note 1], and even if he did, it would not take much effort to let the craftsmen make some credits." ”
Chen Ju actually regretted it in his heart, if he had known that there was such a file, he would have changed the account book a few months in advance, and he would have been able to fill in the shortfall; Or don't be stingy with one or two thousand yuan in money, and directly fill the holes.
"But now Dexianfang is being watched by people in the state, even if the money and things are brought, I'm afraid they won't be able to send it in!" A close confidant reminded.
Liu Xian sneered: "Isn't it okay to put it in the county office." As long as the numbers are closed, and then a transfer is added to the accounts, who can say that it is not? ”
Chen Ju nodded, even if he wanted to pick a thorn in this, he couldn't pick it out. The biggest problem was easily solved, and the only thing left to face was the difficult situation that Han Gang brought them. And Chen Ju also had a belly case at this time, "The key is still on Wang Wu and Wang Jiu." They frightened Han Gang, and they couldn't complain about them. ”
As long as Wang Wu and Wang Jiu are willing to change their words, with Han Gang's mouth alone, they can't even spit on him Chen Ju. Chen Ju turned to a tall young man standing in the corner of the study and said, "Xiao Qi, you find a chance to meet the two of them, just say that I Chen Ju said it himself, the previous things can be blamed in the past, but ......"
"Oshiji!" Liu Xian suddenly interrupted Chen Ju's words and sighed, "I don't know anything. Liu San and they all had knife wounds on their bodies, and they were all cut at the vital point! …… It is the saber of Wang Wu and Wang Jiu. ”
Chen Ju's words couldn't go on, Han Gang did things without leaking, where was he like an eighteen-year-old, he was an eighty-year-old fox at all. Half a day later, he spit out a few words with hatred, "What a Han Gang!" ”
Everyone in the study looked at each other, and Huang Dama's face became more and more ugly. They all knew that since Wang Wu and Wang Jiu, who were the parties concerned, could no longer be brought back, there was only one way to solve Liu San's matter. Liu Xian wanted to speak and stopped, but Chen Ju hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head, sighed, and said to Huang Deyong: "Brother Huang...... You go back first. ”
Huang Dama was stunned, how could he not understand what Chen Ju's intention was to let him go back first. He exclaimed, "...... Oshiji! ”
Liu Xian walked to Huang Deyong's side, held his shoulder, and said softly: "Brother Huang, you go back and rest first, today is enough for you to be tired." ”
Huang Dama's face was as white as lime powder, and the tumor was iron-blue. At this time a day ago, he was still lying on the bed of Jinghui Nunnery Miaoxinni, hugging the beautiful bald nun, thinking about the little adoptive mother of the Han family, but twelve hours later, he was already facing a desperate situation. When he was in front of the Puxiu Temple during the day, Huang Dama never imagined that in one day, the feng shui would rotate, and it was the poor sour Cuo who he looked down on who put the noose around his neck.
Looking at Chen Ju in despair, and then at Liu Xian, Huang Dama fell to the ground with a plop, grabbed Chen Ju's boots, and cried: "Charge, for the sake of my past feelings, leave me a way to live!" ”
"What are you doing with you, you are my brother, how can I not leave you alive?!" Chen Ju said expressionlessly, took a step back, and motioned to the other two cronies standing at the door with his eyes: "Don't help Brother Huang out of the house!" ”
The two nodded knowingly, this was to let them keep an eye on Huang Deyong, in case he did something in despair. They covered Huang Dama's mouth with one hand, and while setting him up from both sides, they clamped Huang Bantou, who was constantly struggling, out of the study.
"Second brother, you will catch up with Huang Deyong later, tell him, I will ensure that his wife and children are safe and stable for a lifetime, let him rest assured!" Chen Ju rarely restrained the disguised smile on his face, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Liu Xian nodded, signaling that he had heard. Chen Ju turned around and looked straight in the direction of the state government through the half-open window. No one saw his expression, and it was only after a long time that he heard the two words that burst out of his teeth: "Han Gang!" ”
Note 1: In local prefectures and counties, the institutions responsible for the manufacture of weapons and crossbows are generally only set up in border prefectures and counties.
PS: The first enemy is solved, and the stronger enemy is coming closer. If you want to watch Han Gang move towards a higher status while continuing to step on people, please don't be stingy with the red tickets and collections in your hands. Today's third update
