Chapter 70 The Insidious Villain

The door is not blown.

In the Beishan Fort Hundred Households, the Jin family, the Cheng family, and the Li family were originally the most respected. The three families almost monopolized the official positions of the general banner and the hundred households.

Pushing it further, the Chen family is also the leader.

Chen Jinshi is thirty-five years old this year. He has been in the army for eighteen years and has sufficient qualifications. He also spent a lot of money and hired help to obtain the official position of the general banner.

In one fell swoop, he became the third most powerful person in this hundred households, and he was in the limelight.

Like Wu Nian, he was raised from a small flag to a general flag. He also rode a good horse. Amidst the sounds of advocacy, blowing and beating, and in the awed eyes of the military households in Beishan Fort, he completed the lively horse riding parade and returned to his hometown.

in the mansion.

The Chen family's mansion also has three entrances.

However, his family was much livelier than Wu Nian's. In addition to his wife, Chen Jinshi also had eight concubines, five sons, and six daughters, of whom the eldest son was already married.

This family is lively, but extremely crowded.

But no matter what, the Chen family is feeling proud today. The whole house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and they are busy preparing for the noon banquet.

Chen Jinshi got off his horse and entered the room with the housekeeper. Looking at the excitement in the house, he couldn't help but feel proud.

But Chen Jinshi remembered something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Dad." At this time, his youngest son Chen Guinian ran over with his short legs and hugged his legs. Chen Jinshi put down what was on his mind, showed a big smile, bent down and picked up his youngest son,

After being affectionate for a while, he handed his son over to the wet nurse who caught up with him.

He winked at the butler, and the two of them came to the main room and sat down together.

"Is that person here?" Chen Jinshi was a little thirsty and asked the maid to make a cup of tea. He raised his head and asked the housekeeper.

"Here we come." The housekeeper nodded, then hesitated and said: "Master, this Wu Nian is too violent. Li Ding died in an unknown way, Cheng Gao and his wife disappeared, and no bones were left. Now he has recruited 800 slaves, and he has become famous for a while.

Wuer. I don’t think it’s good if you do this.”

Chen Jinshi's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and there was a little fear on his face. But soon he held his head high and sneered: "Don't worry, since that person is here, I can beat Wu Nian."

"Hey." The housekeeper felt that it was unreliable, but seeing that Chen Jinshi had made up his mind, he could only sigh deeply, bowed his hand to Chen Jinshi, and turned around to leave.

At this time, the maid came in with a tea cup.

"Master, the tea you just brewed is very hot, please be careful." The maid warned softly.

"Yes." Chen Jinshi nodded and asked the maid to put the tea cup on the coffee table, lift the lid and leave it there. After it cooled down, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

While drinking tea, he was thinking about it in his mind.

People's thoughts and ways of dealing with the world will change as time goes by and their status changes.

After Wu Nian fought against Cheng Gao forcefully, and Cheng Gao disappeared without explanation.

Chen Jinshi was also afraid of Wu Nian, just like Zhu Xiaoqi. He stayed away from Wu Nian.

But when he took the official position of the general banner, he felt a strong sense of discomfort.

He ate military pay and drank the blood of soldiers, but the soldiers and horses under Wu Nian did not give him food or drink.

Of course, he could also tolerate Wu Nian, as if nothing had happened, and eat the military pay and blood of the other four flags.

But he wasn't willing to do it, he thought he could do it.

Because that person is here.

He can compete with Wu Nian in terms of force.

"The first thing a new official should do when he takes office is Wu Nian. At this banquet, I will give you a warning. I will teach you well and let you know what the general flag is and what the small flag is."

Chen Jinshi made up his mind to subdue this mad dog Wu Nian.

It was still some time before noon. After Chen Jinshi made up his mind, he calmed down and drank the cup of tea slowly. Then he went to the bedroom and fell asleep with his arms around his concubine in broad daylight.

Go back to sleep in a while.

It’s almost time to poop at noon.

Chen Jinshi sat in the main room, as steady as a Buddha, and asked the butler to go out to greet the guests.

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin arrived at the gate of Chen's house together, and the housekeeper in charge of welcoming guests immediately came up with a smile on his face.

"Wu Xiaoqi, please come in."

Wu Nian didn't know anything about that mess. He didn't raise the money. If he came to have a dinner at home, he had to bring a gift, right? He raised his hand, handed the butler a delicate rectangular box, and said, "A gift."

"Sir Xiaoqi, you're welcome. I would like to thank you on behalf of the master." The butler smiled but didn't smile, stretched out his hand to take the gift, and then invited Wu Nian to go in.

Today, a banquet was set up in the inner courtyard. Wu Nian went in and Zhang Jin made other arrangements.

Wu Nian didn't think much about it. When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that the wine table was already full of people.

"My brother, you said you wouldn't be late, but you are still late. You will be punished with three drinks later." Wu Dangkou seemed to be a Maitreya Buddha, with a slightly trembling smile.

"I'm late. I'll punish myself with three cups later." Wu Nian said very boldly.

"Brother." Immediately, Wu Nian came to the big round table, saw an empty seat next to Li Kun, sat down, and said to Li Kun.

"Here are some peanuts." Li Kun smiled, opened his palm to reveal a hand full of peanuts, and gave half of it to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian had nothing to do, so he ate peanuts and chatted with Li Kun and others.

Although Wu Nian came late, some people came even later than Wu Nian. After everyone arrived, the protagonist Chen Jinshi also came out.

The slaves also brought out all the hot food and wine, filling the wine table.

Chen Jinshi stood up, picked up the wine cup, and said to everyone: "Today is my big day. Thank you all brothers for the honor. I am here to toast you brothers."

Naturally, everyone gave Chen Jinshi, the protagonist, some face. They stood up, raised their wine cups, and drank the wine with him.

"Brothers, don't be polite, eat and drink well." After Chen Jinshi sat down, he said to everyone with a smile.

"Wait a minute. Before you eat and drink well, some people have to punish themselves with three drinks." Wu Dangkou looked at Wu Nian with a smile and said.

"Hahaha. That's right."

"Wu Xiaoqi is the God of Bacchus, so I'm afraid this small wine cup won't be enough. Do you want to change it to a larger bowl?"

The flag boys all started to make noises.

"Brothers, forget about the big bowl, let's just use the wine cups." Wu Nian quickly asked the group to stop, and then poured the wine himself, finishing three wine cups in a row.

It's funny, I don't feel anything at all.

Everyone knows that in Baihusuo, except for Li Kun, the other officials are afraid of Wu Nian, and their booing is just superficial.

Chen Jinshi used to be the same.

Now he doesn't have to cover up.

Moreover, he also wants to be feared by others.
