"What?" Mr. Song snapped off a beard in shock.
"Small look really, seals, official letters... everything is complete."
The manager outside the Chen residence, who was ordered to look for trouble, bowed respectfully, and after finishing his guess, he rubbed his hands uneasily, "Mr. Song, look at this mess! There shouldn't be anything wrong, right? !"
"What's wrong?" Mr. Song shouted, "It's not common for the government to interrogate people who evade corvée? It's justifiable, and you can't go wrong anywhere."
Rather than yelling at the steward, it sounds like he is persuading himself.
The steward echoed incessantly, and Mr. Song felt more at ease: "Do you remember the official letter they took out, which yamen opened it, and what was written on the seal?"
The steward hurriedly said: "The little one looked at the people inside, some of them were dressed as aliens, and he muttered that it should not be from Yunzhou... When I received it, it was indeed Wanteng County, Yunzhou County, the place where Miao Gu is said to exist. !"
"The land of barbarians." Mr. Song said contemptuously.
The steward didn't say anything, and lowered his head to think: These scholars all have a problem, they don't speak, but there are so many things in Yunzhou, who knows
The steward said respectfully: "Mr. Song, what do you think about this matter?"
"Well, haven't you caused any trouble?" Mr. Song asked worriedly.
"Look at what you said, I'm the kind of person who can't handle it clearly?" The steward said with a smile, "There is no conflict at all, and there is absolutely no reason to be caught!"
"That's good."
Mr. Song nodded and dismissed the person.
The steward nodded and walked away, turned around and hid behind the rockery, stuffed a letter to a servant who had been waiting there for a long time, and told the confidant to give the things to the master.
- Maybe there will be trouble, and he won't help Mr. Song to take the blame!
After the steward spread the news, he pretended to be okay and went out swaggeringly.
It wasn't until late at night that Chen Zhen returned to the mansion after finishing his work in the yamen, and the little servant saw the opportunity and handed the letter over. Manager Fu said, he thinks this is not right, and he also asks the county governor to investigate."
Chen Zhen had a gloomy face, and when he saw that the letterhead mentioned Wanteng County in Yunzhou at the end, he slapped the table with anger: "How unreasonable!"
The Chen family is a Yunzhou family, of course, I have heard the rumor of being smeared, and I know that people who come out there can't be messed with.
- How did the child get involved with such a group of people
Chen Zhen's heart was awe-inspiring, if the house was really a place where the powerful and the dead were raised, Chen He absolutely couldn't have anything to do with him. It's the most incomprehensible thing about this kind of thing. It would be bad if you were dragged into some kind of conspiracy.
"Someone, call Mr. Song... no, call Mr. Fu."
Chen Zhen's words came to his lips, thinking of Mr. Song's self-assertion, and changed his mouth angrily.
The servant got the order and ran out of the study in a hurry.
It took more than half an hour to go, and when Chen Zhen was exhausted, the little servant came over and reported, "No, Manager Fu has disappeared!"
"what?"
The servant shuddered and stammered: "Yes, it's some clerks in the yamen, drinking and drinking, talking about shocking. Fu steward shied away and didn't go, but gave them money to go three streets away. The Xinghualou. However, the steward of Fu said that he did not see anyone coming back, and thought he had gone for a drink. It was just a short walk from the yamen to the mansion, and no one has found it yet."
Chen Zhen reprimanded: "Don't tell the soldiers who patrol at night to look carefully?"
People from the county governor's office have waist badges, and no one dares to catch them when they walk on the road after curfew.
This also brought trouble to finding someone. The yamen were so drunk that they insisted that Butler Fu didn't come at all. Now the people were gone, and there was no one to see where Butler Fu was going.
The servant stumbled to give the order, Chen Zhen rolled his eyes and walked to the yard where Mr. Song, his assistant, lived with his hands behind his back.
He first coughed lightly under the window, and the night maid inside heard the movement and came out with a candlestick.
Inside, Mr. Song was awakened, put on his clothes, and when he saw Chen Zhen, he immediately felt a little embarrassed - he cursed in his heart for the steward to reveal the secret, and had to explain to Chen Zhen: "I... I don't want that child to give to Zhen. Ong is causing trouble."
"You've already provoked!"
Mr. Song noticed something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "Nothing happened today, and the mansion can't be traced. Even if it is an estate owned by someone with a great background, in order to avoid attracting the attention of others, it is more important to It's not going to make a big deal out of it."
Chen Zhen gave him a deep look, and left without saying a word.
It's not that he didn't want to pursue it, but no one would believe that Chen Zhen didn't know about it in advance.
An outside manager is nothing at all. Even if he dies, Chen Zhen doesn't feel much pity. There are so many capable servants in the Chen family. Mr. Song has been his advisor for many years, so he won't be angry about this.
Before Chen Zhen came to find Mr. Song, he still hoped that Mr. Song was timid and found that things were not going well and killed Mr. Fu. Although it was stupid, it was better than Mr. Fu being kidnapped and murdered by unknown people. much more.
As Mr. Song said, if the other party doesn't care about this side, things might just pass.
However-
Chen Zhen sighed.
Things didn't go as he had hoped, and in the early morning of the next day, the body of Director Fu was found in a ditch.
It looked like he was drunk and drowned in a ditch.
Before the yamen came in a hurry, the corpse was already surrounded by people watching the fun, and the brave ones were still pointing.
Because it was found quickly, the body was not hideous, but something valuable on it, which was picked up by a beggar.
A Taoist man wearing a torn robe with a peach wood sword on his back, glanced at the ditch as he passed by, and stopped.
The Taoist suddenly felt a knock on the back by an invisible force, and he turned his head quickly, seeing Chen He standing not far from the street corner, shaking his folding fan, and gesturing at him with a smile that was not a smile.
"… "
The Taoist looked left and right, and added a blindfold to himself without leaving a trace.
Then squeezed out the crowd, ran to Chen He's side, and asked in a low voice, "Your brother has really soared?"
Chen He glanced at him: This is still fake.
This Taoist priest is the real person Tianyan. Although he has some friendship with Chen He in this life, the shadow of Venerable Liyan in his previous life was too great, which made him feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Chen He.
Chen He knocked on the shoulder of Tianyan Zhenren with a folded fan: "If I remember correctly, your faction seems to claim that the mountain will not be closed?"
"It's not your brothers-"
Zhenyan Tianyan touched his nose and began to spit bitter water: "The whole heavenly secret has been disturbed by you. My faction has done a good job of doing things, but suddenly the heavenly secret is interrupted. You know that kind of delicious food and wine, you can smell it, and suddenly you step on it with your feet. Kong wakes up and realizes that this is just a dream of Huang Liang, does it feel like you haven't caught a single bite?"
"… "
Chen He decided not to speak.
Tianyan Zhenren continued to complain: "That's all, if you turn over and continue to sleep, you can always dream. But now the deduction of the secret can't be carried out! It's like you want to continue that dream, but you can't sleep even if you live or die. We are a sect's heart. Hanging in mid-air, if you can't go up or down, it will kill you!"
Chen He sharply picked out the key points from his words: "What are the delicious wines and delicacies you want? What are the smells you smell?"
This time, it was Tian Yan's turn to be speechless.
After holding back for a long time, he shook his hand and said vaguely, "The general trend of the cultivation world!"
At this time, the yamen officers arrived and loudly drove away the people beside the corpse. Mr. Song, who was sweating profusely, stepped out of the sedan chair and saw Chen He not far away.
His heart skipped a beat, his body felt cold, and he watched Chen He leave with such a slight trembling.
Master Tianyan didn't notice these mortals, he asked tentatively, "Yuzhou has been in chaos these few days?"
Chen He was a little surprised: "You still look at the face of the dead?"
"How can there be such a skill?" Tianyan Zhenren frowned and said, "But a person's life should not be terminated, whether it is a wasteful death, this can always be seen."
"Humph."
Chen He held the folding fan and said after a while, "Someone is trying to make me think, do you think it's strange?"
Immortal Tianyan immediately shook his head and said sympathetically, "...Is there another enemy who was thrown back by Tiandao?"
"No."
A steward of Chen's house, Chen He had no time to live with him.
There was a lot of commotion yesterday morning, and that night, this mortal disappeared. Chen He received the news of the Yuzhou demon cultivator a little earlier than Chen Zhen.
Just like the Yuzhou Moxiu wondering why the government came to the door to check the household registration, those lurking in Yuzhou City must also want to know the reason for this.
Fu Guanshi died at the hands of Chen He's enemies.
"A mortal, if the monk asked him, he could erase his memory without leaving a trace and send him back, risking karma and killing him. Why do you think it is?" Chen He asked sideways.
Tianyan real person: …
If I remember correctly, in his previous life he was the leader of the righteous way, and the other party was the leader of the devil's way.
Is it wrong to ask this question
Tianyan Zhenren endured this strange feeling and tentatively replied: "This mortal knows a great secret?"
"He does know a secret, but this secret..." Chen He thought deeply, "It's not that big."
He came from a good Chen family, but what can others do with Chen Zhen and Chen Xingniang? Those were two people who he wouldn't take a second look at even if the corpse was on the spot.
"It depends on what secret he knows." Tian Yanzhen rolled his eyes.
"The current county governor of Yuzhou is my biological father."
"… "
With an expression like "You just told Pindao casually like this, it really isn't a big secret", he let out a long snort, and sneered, "Then, Your Honor, you probably missed the chance to know a secret. , that mortal, maybe know something else."
"As you said, he is a mortal."
"Yeah, but sometimes even a fox has seen something extraordinary." Tianyan Zhenren disagreed.
Chen He asked impatiently, "What is the Taoist going to do when he comes down the mountain?"
Immortal Tianyan's expression became positive: "I don't know, I finally saw the will of God, pointing to this street in Yuzhou City, and here it is."
