Chapter 77 Ascension!
"Has Chen Zhi been taken to the yamen?"
The news reached the Chen family, and Chen Chi went to Liu County, and Chen Bian took over the matter of Chen's mansion. He immediately summoned all the brothers and elders from Pengcheng.
When everyone arrived, the third uncle, who was the highest senior, sat in the head seat, looked at the Chen family on both sides, and asked tremblingly: "Why did Chen Zhi be arrested?" After saying that, he looked drowsy.
"Reporting to the third uncle, he said he had burned Qingyuanzhuang." Chen Bian was anxious, but he still explained patiently.
puff!
He rushed over anxiously. Chen Wu, who was sweating profusely, was drinking tea. When he heard this, he immediately sprayed out the water from his mouth. He didn't care about wiping it, and asked, "Is it that Bai Laohu's Qingyuan Village? It was burned? Really fake? The cost of that building is quite large. Could it be that Bai Laohu threatened Chen Zhi again? Only then..."
Chen Bian shook his head and said to the brothers: "There are many suspicious points in this matter. It should be Bai Qing's frame-up. The most urgent task is to keep Xiaoqi. He is about to win the title, so this matter must not be delayed!"
The sixth old man Chen Yu said, "Chen Zhi has a bad behavior, and even if there is a change, it is difficult to keep his old behavior from being cute again. What if it is really done by him? When the eldest brother went to Liu County, he was determined to submit Chen Zhi's character to the county Zhongzheng. This matter has been delayed until now because his reputation in the past was too bad. The eldest brother chose this at this time and took the letter to correct Chen Zhi and help him get a ninth-grade evaluation. As he ended up, it was not good." As he said that, he sighed and shook his head.
Suddenly, the third uncle in the head suddenly became energetic and shouted: "I know this Chen Zhi, I am not doing anything properly!" After that, he felt drowsy again.
Chen Bian and others looked at each other helplessly and did not answer. They all knew that the third uncle was old and his mind was a little unconscious. The key was what Chen Yu said.
Chen Bian was about to answer, but the fifth brother Chen Xun said first: "Xiao Qi used to make a little mess, but he had never done such an extraordinary thing. He could not do such a thing."
As soon as he said this, the remaining few people started to whisper.
Chen Bian observed the expressions of several people and thought about countermeasures.
He was also shocked when he first heard the news, but when he thought of Chen Zhi’s previous arrangement, he calmed down.
After everyone discussed a few words, Chen Bian said, "Just as the fifth brother said, Xiao Qi would not be so ignorant of the importance of arson, and arson cannot be done. Take a step back and even if he does, the Chen family will protect him. Once he goes to court, it is not his own business. When others mention it, they have to say that this is the seventh master of the Chen family, involving my Chen family's face! We know very well what Bai Qing wants to do. He wants to step on the face of the Chen family! Even such a person thinks that my Chen family can move and bully it. If he lets go, what do others think? Can my Chen family live in peace? When the other families see that the Bai family can accomplish things, they must share it!"
Everyone present understood this question, so they frowned.
"The most urgent task is to minimize the impact of the matter, alas." Finally, Chen Yu sighed.
The eyes of several people fell on one person.
The eighth-year-old Chen family and the youngest Chen Yuan.
He is transferring his position and is about to ascend to the position of thief Cao in the county to be responsible for public security. After Chen Chi resigned from office and was mourning, his power was vacant, and Chen Yuan was a major pillar of the Chen family at present.
In fact, everyone had thought before that during the period after Chen Chi resigned, the Chen family might be suppressed by all parties, but they did not expect that they would come so quickly and so urgently! And the Bai family was the one who took action!
On the other hand, a few senior executives of the Chen family, including Chen Bian, have regarded Chen Zhi as the seed of the family's resurgence and let the Bai family do what they do, which will not only shrink the Chen family's power, but also kill the hope of future rise.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yuan, the eighth master of the Chen family, had to express his opinion: "I can only do my best to do this matter. After all, I am not a thief Cao. Even if I am a thief Cao, it will be difficult to settle it quickly."
This is also the reason why Chen Yuan has been silent since he came in. He has no end to the end of the nest. The Chen family is in trouble. Even if he sits in that position, his foundation will be unstable and he will fall sooner or later.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The third uncle suddenly came back to his senses. He didn't know which nerve was wrong. He suddenly sighed: "My Chen family is so powerful, don't worry about not being able to settle it. My father is the magistrate of Chenliu County. Which family in this county doesn't come to make friends? It's not easy to let the county government release someone? But you should be careful in your words and actions, and you should not ruin your family style."
These words evoked memories of the Chen brothers. Several people remembered the glory of their family when they were young. Although the world was unstable and there were wars, the Chen family was not affected. No matter in the county, county, or state, they dared not underestimate the Chen family. Unfortunately, the action of betting separately made the Southern Branch prosperous. Although their branch had not yet died, it was worse than the previous generation.
Now, there is only a huge shelf left, and if you are not careful, you may run into the reef.
Finally, Chen Bian sighed and said, "It's difficult for a family. Everyone, we must work together, otherwise it will be unimaginable."
Chen Zhi's incident made the Chen family realize the crisis, but they could not find a solution for a while.
After discussing for a while, Chen Bian said helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, just use the favors left by my father. Otherwise, when the family declines and the people leave, the tea will be cold, and the people may not recognize it."
"That's all!" the others muttered.
Chen Bian then said, "First contact the people in the yamen to clear the situation."
After the agreement, the Chen family immediately took action, and everyone dispersed, leaving the Third Uncle and Chen Bian in the hall.
"According to Lu's words, the new ancestor Zhongzheng was very strict with the family with poor character and only had a common view of calligraphy. His interest was Go. The eldest brother might not be able to achieve success in this trip. Unless Chen Zhi can be famous and well-known in the countryside, it would be difficult to determine even the ninth-class rural grade. This incident happened again now. It would be really a disaster."
Amid the worries and busyness of the Chen family, the fifth day is coming.
"Ascending to the hall!"
Accompanied by the "magnificent" sound, the county government office opened!
County Magistrate Yang Yong sat in the hall in his official uniform, slapped the awe-in-law, looking down at the few people in the hall, representing the majestic aura of the king's law, and immediately dispersed in the hall.
"Xiaomin and others have met the county magistrate!"
Bai Qing, Chen A San and the owners of the gambling house saluted respectfully. Several people even knelt on their knees and bowed. This is the different political status brought about by different versions.
In contrast, Chen Zhi just bowed slightly and bowed as a courtesy. Even though he had no local qualities, he was a real descendant of aristocratic family, protected by the law, and enjoyed privileges before conviction.
"Tell the case!"
Yang Yong looked as if he was absent and spoke according to the rules.
Bai Qing stared at her blood-stained eyes and said respectfully: "Bai Qing, a small-minded person, sued Chen Zhi, accusing the Chen family of Chen Zhi in the village, vicious and slandered classical Chinese, set fire to the building, and asked the county magistrate to take charge!" His voice was a little hoarse.
After all, it was a building that was burned with hard work, and after a night of tossing, there was no chance to rest. It was already declining.
In contrast, Chen Zhi was clear-headed and calm.
……………………
"The case is being tried!"
"It's open, it's open!"
"The Master of the Bai family sued Chen Zhi of the Chen family!"
Here the county yamen was promoted to the hall, and as soon as the gate of the yamen opened, many people immediately attracted.
According to the law, the people certainly cannot listen, but the yamen occupy a limited area. The main hall emphasizes transparency and lightness, not far from the street, and cannot be closed when entering the hall. Therefore, once this door is opened, the people will come to watch the fun.
There were not many entertainment projects at this time. It was a story meeting that the people liked to watch. Soon a group of people gathered and crowded.
At this time, a ox cart passed by and saw the Liu brothers sitting on it, looking at the scene, his expression changing.
"Is it really Brother Chen's defendant?" Liu Gang's face was full of concern. They got the news when they went out in the morning.
Liu Miao smiled and said, "With Chen Zhi's past behavior, going to court is a matter of time. This is also something Brother Peng and I have always been worried about, otherwise why should we wait and see?"
However, seeing that Liu Gang was still worried, Liu Miao changed the subject: "Don't think too much. When you meet the book tycoon Wang Kui, you can't cry with a sad face, otherwise you will waste your chances. Besides, isn't there a noble young man around him? If you want to help Chen Zhi, just show off and get appreciated. You might as well mention him, it might be helpful." In fact, this is just a comforting word. Liu Miao didn't think that noble young man could be of great ability and could help the people in the court.
Liu Gang was stunned at first, then showed a firm look and nodded.
The two of them slowly drove past the yamen, turned a street, and crossed the Chen family's ox cart. They saw Chen Bian, Chen Xun and Chen Yuan sitting in the car with uneasy expressions.
The Chen family's car arrived at the county government office. Seeing so many people at the door, the three masters were even more worried.
"What do you say there?" Chen Xun saw the crowd and couldn't help asking. Luo Qian was a penman in the county government office, a figure like an aide and a master. When he was promoted to the church, he recorded the testimony of witnesses and confessions of criminals, and recorded them in the prison file.
"After all, Luo Qian cannot be the home of the county magistrate, and the information he has revealed is limited." Chen Yuan frowned, walked out of the car with his two brothers, walked through the crowd, and wanted to enter through the side door, but was stopped by two Zaoli.
The Zaoli said with a sorry look: "My Master Chen, I am ordered to act, please forgive me."
