Chapter 140: Intrigue(1/2)

Chen Dao personally led Li You and Wang Qin into the Chen family compound.

A long way away.

Li You and Wang Qin saw Chen Sheng sitting on the steps in front of the hall, rubbing his hands and looking at them and others with a half-smile.

The two of them stepped forward quickly, wanting to cross Chen Dao and step forward quickly.

However, Chen Dao stretched out his arms and stood in front of the two of them.

The two of them turned their heads and glanced at Chen Dao, who was also smiling but not smiling. Then they looked back at Chen Sheng, who had no intention of speaking outside the hall, and their expressions changed slightly.

Chen Dao saw that the two of them had slowed down their pace, and then he slowly led the two of them to Chen Sheng, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the Li family, Li You, the king of the Wang family wants to see you."

Li You and Wang Qin bowed their heads to the bottom together and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to you, sir."

Chen Sheng looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled and said: "You two are here just in time. Dinner has just been prepared at home. Can you please look at me and taste the poor food of my merchant family?"

After hearing the words, the two of them hurriedly shouted in unison: "Please be aware that what happened tonight has nothing to do with my Li family (Wang family)!"

Li You: "When I heard that your Excellency was ambushed, my father was shocked and angry. He immediately started his family song and searched for the culprit. He came a step too late and had no intention of sitting back and watching!"

Wang Qin: "Yes, sir, when my father heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted at home because of a recurrence of his old illness. The first thing he said was to gather all the relatives and friends in the family and help the county soldiers to seal the four city gates.

, don’t leave alone!”

Li You: "This is my investigation of the whereabouts of the culprit, Mr. Li, please review it!"

Wang Qin: "My Wang family has also found out the identity of the traitor and recorded his name here. Please review it, sir!"

The two of them took out the silk book from their sleeves and held it high above their heads.

Chen Sheng looked at Li You, then at Wang Qin, and said with a faint smile: "You two have a good understanding."

The two people who were still bowing their heads broke out in cold sweat when they heard this, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I, the Li family, have no contact with the Wang family. If they have, they are fighting for land.

Old grudges!”

"That's true. In the past, during the Summer Festival, Brother Li often used the excuse of fighting to inflict atrocities on his brothers. If he hadn't been afraid of the Li family's great achievements, the two brothers would have retaliated long ago!

"

"Haha, Brother Qin remembers the atrocities committed against Brother Nai by his subordinates. Why did you forget that you deceived my younger brother into being weak and tricked him into swimming in the river naked the year before?"

"He doesn't have a brain himself, does he blame me?"

The two of them exchanged sarcastic words without giving in, becoming increasingly angry.

It seemed that if Chen Sheng hadn't been here, the two of them would have rolled up their sleeves and had a fight over each other!

"Bah bang bang."

Chen Sheng clapped his hands slowly, interrupting the quarrel between the two, and said in a neutral tone: "You two have good basic skills, why don't you consider joining us on stage to sing a big show, then I will be the first to support you two.

.”

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Dao stepped forward, took the silk books from the two men's hands, and put them into Chen Sheng's hands.

Chen Sheng still didn't let the two of them get up.

Just in front of the two of them, he spread out two silk books and placed them on his knees.

I saw that the two silk books were filled with dense small characters.

At the top of the list, the letter "Yangzhou Mu Quxuan" was written, followed by "Wu Mo"...

"Qu's?"

Chen Sheng slowly frowned. He had an impression of Qu Ming. When he compiled the mountain and river map of the Twelve States, he had collected information about the Twelve Prefectures' pastoralists, and among them was the Yangzhou pastoralist Qu Shun.

"Your Majesty."

Hearing Chen Sheng reciting this name, Li You thought he didn't understand the inside story, so he took the initiative to introduce it to him: "The Qu family and the Xiong family in Jian'an County, Yangzhou, are both after the former Chu Hou. They are one tree with two branches, although they are separated.

Five hundred years, but because they were both in high positions, the two groups moved around a lot... After Xiong Qi took his subordinates to flee Chen County, they were separated for a period of time, and it must have been that time when he asked for help from the Qu family in Jian'an."

After he said this, Chen Sheng also remembered it.

The first time he met A Yu was on the second day after Xiong Qiqian returned to Chen County to incite the surrounding refugees to flow into the city. He was on his way back to the county government office from the Chen family compound...

In other words, Xiong Qi had already planned to ambush him at that time, but he did not expect that his movements would be so fast. On the same day, he forced Li to jump out of his body, pulled him out of the darkness and chopped off his head.

"So to say……"

Chen Sheng slowly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Today's situation is the result of the root of the disaster left by you, Li, who cut the grass without eradicating the roots?"

Li You was stunned for a moment, quickly sorted out the clues, and bowed his head again: "I'm scared!"

But he didn't even dare to defend himself.

Chen Sheng continued to examine the two silk books and saw that the lists contained in the two silk books were not very inconsistent and were very complete.

Who provided the weapons?

Whose family escorted the dead soldiers into the city?

Who provides shelter and food?

Who is responsible for covering up the official situation?

Every pile, piece by piece, everything is recorded clearly.

In such a short period of time.

These two families can sort out the whole story clearly.

This kind of heritage... is indeed beyond what the former Chen family, a businessman, could compare to.

Of course.

Everything has happened, and the difficulty of tracing it is actually not that great.

If Chen Sheng wanted to check it himself, he could do it, it was just a matter of time.

The key is……

No one reported such a big situation to him beforehand!

What does this mean?

Or, their control over Chen County is superficial, unsystematic, and their response is delayed!

Or, they are deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb!

Chen Sheng was too lazy to find out which one it was, so he just dealt with it according to the second one!

"So……"

He asked without raising his head: "Which clan does this 'Wu Mo' belong to?"

"Return to my lord."

The one who spoke was still Li You, "More than two hundred years ago, Ya Sheng was born and founded the 'Mo School', which advocated universal love, frugality, and advocating the virtuous. This theory was widely spread in Kyushu, and disciples

He belongs to the public, his disciples are abundant, and he fills the world. His reputation is as strong as that of Confucianism and Confucianism. He speaks at the right time. The wise men in the world are neither Confucianism nor Mohism!"

"Then the Mohist family was divided into three parts, one of which was Wu Mo. The followers were all knights and knights, doing justice everywhere. They seemed to be resisting the powerful, but in fact they were dependent on them."

"One branch is Wen Mo, and those who follow it are all scholars and sages. They continue to teach Mo Sage about love, economy, and virtuous people."

"One is a technical ink, and its followers are all craftsmen and technicians, advocating the art of managing the world and making economic use of it."

"The martial arts branch is mainly spread in Jing and Yang areas, and they often carry out assassinations and killings of officials!"

Chen Sheng frowned deeply.

Just listening to Li Youshu's words, he felt as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest and exploded a cow excrement pit as big as a bucket!

Non-governmental organizations like this with extreme opinions and extreme methods are full of troubles. Contaminating them is like contaminating brown sugar. You can't chew it off until you chew it off!

At the same time, he also understood why A Yu was so angry, and why the stocky middle-aged man's expression became so ridiculous after hearing A Yu say that Chen Sheng was a good person.

All we can say is that there may not be anything wrong with their claims.

People who just implement their opinions have a big problem!

Take this incident as an example.

Regardless of whether this batch of Wu Mo was brought here by Yangzhou Mu Qu Huang for profit, or they were coaxed by Yangzhou Mu Qu Huang with some words that slandered Chen Sheng.

This is enough to show that there is a big problem with their organizational structure and behavior model!

"What a troublesome thing!"

Chen Sheng sighed lightly, and then said with a gentle smile: "I have taken note of your kindness. Since you two are not interested in the food of a merchant family like mine, please come back. What happens next

, I don’t need you two to worry about it!”

Timely.

Chen Shou, who was covered in dust, led a large group of soldiers into the courtyard. The sound of armor and swords clashing as they walked was like the sound of sharpening knives before slaughtering chickens and sheep, which was frightening.
To be continued...
