The rooster crowing was not yet heard, and the sky outside the window was still dark.

"Master!"

Chen Ji suddenly sat up from the bed, still in shock.

It was not until he saw Xiaoman who was dozing off the bed that he suddenly realized that it was a dream just now. In the dream, he saw Old Man Yao killing to Changbai Mountain Martial Temple, and a meteor-like sword seed passed through his chest, and blood dyed the snow on the top of the mountain red.

The master went to kill Lu Yang... but that was Lu Yang.

Chen Ji only hopes that the mean old man must not do stupid things. He doesn’t have to ascend to the forty-ninth level of heaven. Isn’t it good to be in this world?

Moreover, Lu Yang is so old that he can even endure the other party to death by hiding in Ningchao.

When Lu Yang died, he immediately set out to the Wu Temple to kill the other party's disciple. At that time, Lu Yang's disciple should have just started practicing sword seeds, which is easy to kill.

If you can't beat the old one, you can beat the younger ones.

At this time, Xiaoman held the little black cat in his arms, opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "What's wrong with the young master? Have you had the nightmare before?"

Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "No, when will it take?"

Xiaoman replied: "It's still early to play the fourth update just now."

Chen Ji lifted the quilt and got out of bed, looking around at his new residence.

The exquisite step bed carved the pattern of a kirin delivery child, the bedding is made of gold satin and is filled with silk cotton. There are four treasures of the study on the table in the distance, and there is a copper stove next to it, with green smoke rising in it.

This place is no longer the shabby bed of Taiping Medical Center. He no longer needs to go out of the street to fetch water early, and he no longer needs to sweep the floor and snow.

Chen Ji suddenly said, "Xiaoman, wait until I finish all the things at hand, let's go back to Luocheng to live together."

Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "It's not bad. Sister Liqiu is still in Luocheng, and I don't know if she has left the house to get married."

Chen Ji asked with a smile: "Do you want to write a letter for you?"

Xiaoman lowered his head: "No need, there is nothing to say. Sister Liqiu said that we maids are the lives of kittens and dogs. You can follow wherever the master goes, and don't think about the people and things in the past."

"You are not a kitten or a puppy, you are Xiaoman," Chen Ji rolled up his sleeves: "Where are the wooden barrels and shoulder poles? I'll fill the water tank in my ear room."

Xiaoman hugged the little black cat and widened his eyes: "Young master, you don't have to do these things. There is a servant in the mansion who specializes in carrying water."

Chen Ji walked out: "It's okay, I'm idle, I like to carry water... Where is the well?"

"Who likes to carry water," Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "Go out of Ginkgo Garden and turn right... Forget it, I'll take the young master."

The two of them walked out one after another, but saw a servant coming towards him carrying a lantern: "Young Master!"

Chen Ji decided to stop: "What's the matter?"

The servant hurriedly said, "Our ancestor summoned you to Wendantang for a question."

Chen Ji glanced at the dim sky: "At this time?"

The servant nodded: "Yes, the eldest master, the second master, and the third master have already gone."

Chen Ji turned around and told Xiaoman: "You go and find a wooden barrel and a shoulder pole to put it in the yard, and I'll go and see what's going on."

Xiaoman whispered: "No, I'll accompany you. My second sister specifically told me to take care of you last night, so as to prevent them from using some shameful tricks."

Chen Ji said in confusion: "Your second sister is also specifically reminding you of this?"

Xiaoman pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, carried it over and showed it to Chen Ji: "Look, my second sister has recorded all the tricks she had heard in the Xu family, so I was careful. Some servants deliberately led them to break into the forbidden area; some bribes who bribed the midwife to report their death. They were so cruel. When the child was born, the midwife directly suffocated the baby and said that it had lost her heartbeat after birth. But we don't need to be careful about this for the time being. When the young master gets married, I will help you stare at the midwife..."

Chen Ji took the paper, but saw Zhang Xia writing more than 80 things to beware of on the paper, such as being framed by someone burying witchcraft in the yard, such as being attacked by someone for a long time with food, such as being tampered with the land deed, such as being trapped before worshiping ancestors, and being misleading the great event of worshiping ancestors...

It's messy and varied, but behind each one is the price of blood.

Zhang Xia was afraid that something had been missed, so she wrote down everything in detail.

Chen Ji handed the paper back to Xiaoman: "Please hold it away. You'd better go back so that someone would hide things in the yard while we were away and frame the matter."

Xiaoman was shocked: "That's right, then the young master is careful."

Chen Ji nodded, and followed the servant to the depths of Qinzheng Garden with his clothes. Along the way, maids and servants came and went, endlessly, with bright lights on the kitchen and crowded.

The Chen Mansion in the early morning did not look like a large mansion, but rather a temple fair stage that was carefully rehearsed during the Lantern Festival.

Behind this noisy, Chen Ji also saw hidden stakes, guarding the intersection of every intersection with swords waiting. When Chen Ji and the servant passed by, there was hidden stake and saw a strange face. He raised his eyes and looked at him carefully before moving his eyes away.

...

...

Chen Ji and the servant walked through the deep "Xiao Yingzhou" one after another. He looked around with caution until he saw the light of Wendantang from afar, and nothing happened.

Chen Ji looked up, but saw the eight red doors in Wendan Hall open.

A plaque hanging on the Wendan Hall, with three golden lacquer characters "Shi Daozun".

The couplet on the left: "I have been poor and I still have a life, so I'm better to study than to starve to death."

The couplet on the right: "If you have not learned it, you must practice it in every way. The best way to express your writing is the best way."

It turned out that Wenyuntang in Chen Mansion in Luocheng learned this place.

In the hall, Chen Luchi, the head of the Chen family, sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master. Chen Liqin and another middle-aged man whom he had never seen before sat on both sides. The three of them were wearing red official robes. The middle-aged man whom he had never seen before was probably the second house chief, Chen Lizhi.

Outside the hall, Chen Wenzong and two other young men stood up and stood without saying a word.

At this time, when everyone heard the footsteps, they all raised their eyes to Chen Ji, as if the three judges were held, and the power of the officials was overwhelmed.

Chen Ji stood outside the hall and bowed, "I have met the head of the family."

Chen Ge Lao had a gray-haired, thin body, wearing an official robe, as if he was covered with a cloak: "Let's talk near you."

Chen Ji lifted up his clothes and stepped over the threshold, standing straight in the lights of Wendantang.

Mr. Chen sat on the chair of the Grand Master, looked him carefully, and then said, "I saw the prince's memorial asking for merit for you and killed 107 Jing Chao thieves in the formation. Is it true?"

Chen Ji lowered his head and said, "No."

Mr. Chen asked again: "Is there more or less?"

Chen Ji said truthfully: "It's less."

"Okay, okay, if you want to accomplish something, you shouldn't have power, money and power first, you should have courage first!" Chen Ge Lao said three times in a row: "Monthly silver plans to bring 60 taels of betrothal gifts are the same as the legitimate son; you can reward ten pieces of Yunjin, ten acres of tribe land, one lake pen, and two ingots of Hui ink..."

Chen Lizhi, the second housekeeper opposite Chen Liqin, suddenly said: "Head of the family, there is no one around him, so I will reward him with two maids and two servants. I only bought a batch of servants yesterday for him to choose from."

Mr. Chen nodded: "Okay."

Chen Ji was slightly stunned. He originally thought that the situation in the church was to provoke him to sue him. The three departments were going to try, but he didn't expect that the meeting would be rewarded.

Chen Liqin coughed lightly and reminded: "Don't you thank the head of the family?"

Chen Ji bowed again: "Thank you, the head of the family."

Mr. Chen told Chen Liqin: "After returning, I wrote an article, sent a quick horse back to various states to spread the clan, and the young and middle-aged men of the clan should take this son as an example."

Chen Liqin replied: "Yes, I will write it today."

Mr. Chen waved to Chen Ji: "Get back."

"Slow down," Chen Lizhi spoke solemnly: "Head of the family, I have heard about something recently, and I want to ask him."

Mr. Chen slowly closed his eyes, and did not say he could ask, nor did he say he could not ask.

Seeing this, Chen Lizhi waved to the door.

I saw a young man outside the door walking into Wendan Hall and bowing to Mr. Chen: "Unworthy descendants, the eldest son of the second wife, Chen Wende, has met the head of the family."

Mr. Chen nodded, his eyelids not raising: "Tell me."

Chen Wende turned around to face Chen Ji: "The rewards and punishments within the clan are clearly distinguished. Those who have meritorious rewards and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Let me ask you, when you were in Guyuan, your third-class maid Yao Man had reported to Hu Junxian, which led to Chen Wenxiao's reputation being ruined. Is this a matter?"

Here comes.

This is today's main show, and the picture is revealed.

Chen Ji said calmly: "Everyone knows what his brother Chen Wenxiao committed, and cannot hide it."

Chen Wende said slowly: "You must not disobey your brother in front of Wendan Hall. What do I ask? What do you answer? No need to get involved in other matters. I will ask you again, has your maid Yao Man informed Hu Junxian about Chen Wenxiao?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "No."

Chen Wende was stunned. He was silent and said, "Since you don't admit it, I'll ask someone to come."

After saying that, he waved his hand outside the door, and another young man waiting to stand outside the door hurriedly left.

After a stick of incense, he led Liang to come. Chen Liqin's face changed and he suddenly stood up: "What are you doing when you are a woman in Wendantang? This is also where you can come!"

But he saw Liang kneeling on the blue brick outside Wendan Hall, and was about to cry: "Report to the head of the family that day, I was in Guyuan. I saw Yao Man telling Hu Junxian with my own eyes!"

Chen Wende waved his sleeves and turned to face Chen Ge Lao: "Head of the family, my Daning Lu said that the people's land, marriage, money and debts are the ones who will take care of themselves. If you encounter any crime, you can hide from each other. Chen Ji and Chen Wenxiao are brothers, but they instigated the maids to persecute the clan's fame. Today I want to ask for family law. Chen Ji and Chen Ji have twenty sticks and guard the temple for life. Yao Man's sticks are 100 sticks, and sold six livestock farms."

Chen Ji, who lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother, Chen Wenxiao is selling his country and promoting the scenery, and his crime is hard to tolerate."

Chen Wende said calmly: "Chen Wenxiao should die. Even if he did not die in Guyuan, the clan would also cause him to die suddenly. Give the court and Guyuan soldiers an explanation and never cover up."

Outside the hall, Chen Wenzong couldn't help but walk up, but heard Chen Wende shouting sternly: "Dear, have you summoned you to speak? If you don't understand the rules, please step back!"

Chen Wenzong was dead in place.

Mr. Chen looked at Chen Liqin: "Chen Wenxiao is your second son, what do you think?"
