lady, please calm down

Chapter 307: Spring Night Murderous Intent

At the beginning of Haishi, the dining room of Hanchun Hall in the Hou Mansion.

Chen Chu, who came home late, sat at the dining table and immersed himself in the meal.

At this time, the family members were not asleep yet. When they learned that he was coming home, they gathered around him one after another.

They all knew that Chen Chu was busy. He went out early in the morning and returned at midnight. It was a family habit for them to meet each other during the meal and talk a few words about home affairs.

Mao'er, who was sitting on the left side of Chen Chu, supported his head with one hand and stared at the official sideways, with a slight smile on his lips.

It seems that the appearance of an official gulping down his meal is a beautiful sight in the world.

"My lord, do you know who Gou Jian, the king of Yue, is most afraid of when he is lying down on his salary and tastes courage? He is most afraid of Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms, because Zhao Yun is full of courage! Gou Jian can't taste it at all, quack quack."

The talkative Yunong on the other side told a rather cold joke. Others didn't laugh, but she made herself laugh like a duck.

Cai Hua, sitting opposite, was like a puppy with a keen sense of smell, twitching and straightening her nose from time to time. Finally, she stood up in confusion, walked gracefully to Chen Chu, lowered her head and sniffed him, and said with a smile: "Oh, Choro smells so much of powder.”

Just because of these words, the temperature in the cheerful dining room suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Although Mao'er didn't say anything, he couldn't help but quietly took two deep breaths and felt it carefully. He indeed smelled the fragrance of his daughter's home from Chen Chu.

"Is there any?" Chen Chu, who had a mouth full of food, raised his head with a confused look on his face.

Yu Nong was the most direct. He lay directly on Chen Chu's chest and smelled it. The smell of powder was very strong, but it was very familiar, like. Yu Nong quickly pulled his sleeves, held it up to his nose and sniffed again, and suddenly realized: "Hey~ Sister Cai is so scary. The young master is smelling like Nunu. Hey, if you don't believe me, smell it."

Yunong held up his sleeves, eager to help the young master clear his grievances
Chen Chu looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he wished he could hold Yu Nong and kiss him hard!
Last time, Cai Hua accidentally discovered some clues, so Chen Chu made some preparations in advance, such as sending a full set of soaps of the same style as Yu Nong, lip balm, and powder from the same shop to Ayu.
In this way, the smells of Ayu and Yunong became very similar. Even if Chen Chu went home one day and did not take a shower or change clothes, he could still blame Yunong.

Unexpectedly, Yu Nong is now a mature pot, and he actually takes the initiative to help Chen Chu clarify!
What a stinky baby!If you don’t hurt, who will you hurt?
But Cai Hua, a master of catching traitors, was not that easy to fool. She sniffed Chen Chu and Yu Nong each, her delicate face still suspicious.

Although the smells of the two are similar, there are still some differences. Yunong has a milky smell because of having Xiao Yuanbao, while Chen Chu's powdery smell is more refreshing.

Chen Chu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Cai Hua, so he couldn't help but mutter: "Eating, eating, sister Hua is smelling all over me, making me feel like food."

Cai Hua looked at it again with those fox eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. Suddenly she smiled charmingly, winked at Chen Chu, and then sat back with her waist swaying.

He seemed to understand everything but didn't say anything.
Sooner or later, Ayu's matter must be explained to these three people in the family.

But tonight is not a suitable occasion. Chen Chu plans to defeat them one by one, starting with Yunong. Yunong is the most obedient and has been a little messenger between him and Ayu.

Then there’s Mao’er. If you can coax Mao’er well, you can take her with you to do ideological work for Cai Hua.
While he was thinking wildly, he saw Bai Lu hurriedly walked into the dining room, with a rare look of horror and astonishment on his face.

"Bai Lu, what's wrong?" Mao'er, who was the first to notice something was wrong, asked strangely.

Bai Lu stood still, took a deep breath to calm down, and then said in a low voice: "Master Hou, please, just now Mao Dan sent a message to Master Hou from the front, saying that Kong Mu Gou Sheng has just come to avenge the punishment, and Wu Shangshu's nephew wants to punish him. Chen Tongzhi’s daughter behaved inappropriately”

Before Bai Lu finished reporting, she saw Chen Chu suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

Thunder on the ground!
Anyone with normal views would be angry about the act of lasciviousness and humiliation to a woman, but Chen Chu's reaction was still a little too big.

Bai Lu was startled and couldn't help but pause, but Chen Chu walked out and asked, "How is Ayu?"

"Well, Gou Kongmu also said that Chen Tongzhi was eager to protect his daughter and accidentally beat Mr. Wu to death." Bai Lu quickly told the news.

Chen Chu, who had already reached the door, asked again, "I'm asking, how is Ayu?"

"I don't know, Nunu."

At this point, Chen Chu said nothing and strode towards the front yard.

In the dining room, a sudden change caught Mao'er and Caihua off guard, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Chen Jingyan beat Wu Yifan to death?While feeling ridiculous and shocked, the two of them also had a hint of understanding in their hearts.
Chen Chu's eager reaction couldn't be concealed from others. It didn't mean that he shouldn't be concerned about Chen Jingyan's family, but he was obviously too nervous.

In particular, his focus is only on 'How is Ayu?' ', just by subconsciously shouting 'Ayu' affectionately, you can get a glimpse of something fishy.

The cat had been mentally prepared for this and was relatively calm.

But Cai Hua was a little dissatisfied that this little green tea had been obtained under my eyes?

She was unhappy, but Cai Hua, who was always unambiguous about important matters, immediately said to Li Cuilian who was staying outside the door: "Cuilian, Zhaodi, you two quickly follow the Marquis out of the house. Remember, if any shrew dares to ask the Marquis Sa Po, just do it! No matter who the shrew is!"

"Yes!" Li Cuilian responded roughly, calling to Li Zhaodi, and the two quickly chased her to the front yard.

It wasn't until Cai Hua finished making arrangements that Mao'er realized what was happening. The Wu family was famous for doting on her nephew Wu Yifan, so when she suddenly heard that the latter was dead, she might have gone crazy.

If she entangled Shangguan, the official would be beaten and scolded, which would hurt the reputation of the Hou family. It would be disgraceful if the official hit the woman back, so she brought two strong women to stop this trouble.

While Mao'er secretly praised Cai Hua for her quick reaction, she was also a little annoyed with herself for why I didn't think of this just now. Alas, I couldn't compare to Sister Cai every time.

"Chen Jingyan, Tan Meisi, you and your wife, get out of here! Your family will die a good death. The men will be slaves and the women will be prostitutes. They will not be able to recover for generations to come."

In the front yard of Xia Cuiyuan, the woman's unbearable curses echoed through the official residence.

What happened tonight happened suddenly, and there was a panic afterwards. The guards on duty came and went, and they couldn't hide it at all.

It was not until Chen Jingan, who was hurriedly called by the old servant, arrived that the situation was barely maintained. However, by this time, Sun Changhao and his wife had already learned the news of Wu Yifan's death from the chaotic official residence.

At this moment, Wu Yifan's body had been carried to the front yard, and Sun Changhao was pacing anxiously.

Madam Wu kept cursing like crazy, and wanted to rush into the back house several times to fight with the Chen family, but she was blocked by the government officials who formed a human wall in front of the Chuihua Gate.

Ximen Xi, the leader of the third team present, allowed Wu to scratch everyone's bodies and faces without fighting back or moving out of the way.

He didn't have the concept of "not hitting women", but after all, this Wu was the sister of the minister of the dynasty, and Wu Weiguang was in Caizhou Posthouse at this time, which could give people a strong sense of oppression.

The second entrance to Xia Cuiyuan.
Tan's mother and daughter woke up one after another. There was a clear red scratch on Chen Jinyu's slender neck, which showed how heavy Wu Yifan's attack was just now and that he didn't hold back at all.

Even Chen Jinyu, who was praised by her father for having a gap in her heart and who had just almost experienced life and death, was frightened. She was a little dazed and her body could not help but tremble slightly.

Mrs. Tan glanced at her son, who still had dried blood on his head and face, and then at his dumbfounded daughter, and couldn't help but sob again.

Chen Jingyan finally came to his senses gradually, but the hand holding the tea couldn't stop shaking, causing the lid of the tea cup to make a clanking sound.

After serving as an official for several years, Chen Jingyan had experienced the Tongshan Rebellion and the Huaibei Ping, so he could not be considered someone who had seen big events.

But standing at the top of the city and watching the battlefield from God's perspective, sitting in the public room and checking the battle report of the list of casualties is far less powerful than the psychological impact of killing a person with your own hands.
What's more, the deceased was once regarded as his son-in-law.

On the other hand, Chen Yingjun, whose head was smashed by Wu Yifan with a wine bottle, was relatively calm and was discussing how to deal with it in a low voice with his second uncle.

"For now, let's not worry about reputation. We must establish the truth that Wu Yifan wanted to cheat on Ayu. At that time, apart from Ayu and Wu Yifan, only Wei Ting and your maid were present. You have to think of your words!"

Chen Jingan's voice was not loud, but Chen Yingjun listened carefully. The latter witnessed the whole process and naturally knew that Wu Yifan had no "unruly" intentions when he suddenly attacked his sister.

But this matter cannot be investigated in detail. He heard with his own ears that Wu Yifan said that his sister and Chen Chu had a tryst at Qingyun Temple to make peace, and Ayu actually recognized it!

Chen Yingjun, who is familiar with the law of Qi, knows very well that if a woman is unfaithful, she can be sentenced to imprisonment or exile depending on the situation. In serious cases, she can even be sentenced to death.

Regardless of the actual situation, the marriage contract between the Chen family and the Wu family has indeed not been terminated, and Wu Yifan died at his home. In this case, if someone grabs his sister's pigtails, it is infinitely close to the worst crime of "infidelity" Serious 'murder of husband'.
It just so happens that Wu Yifan's uncle is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in charge of the No. 1 prison in Daqi!

Chen Yingjun wiped the blood from his forehead and said solemnly: "It is recorded in Volume [-] of "Qi Xing Tong" that if a gangster commits an offense and is injured or robbed, family members and relatives must be arrested and prosecuted. . The arresting and arresting law is in accordance with the above regulations. If a person holds a stick and refuses to defend, the catcher will be blocked. Those who hold a stick or run away empty-handed will also be killed."

Chen Yingjun memorized this law verbatim, but he deliberately concealed the incident between his sister and Chen Chu. He only emphasized that "criminals commit crimes." The victim's family has the right to arrest the person and bring him to the court. If the perpetrators arrest him, he can kill him on the spot.
In short, it must be tenable both legally and emotionally.

"You, the Chen family, must die a good death! Chen Jinyu, you little bitch, come out here and I will make your family pay for my Fan'er's life!"

Ahead, Wu's yelling came into the back house.

Chen Jingan sighed leisurely, glanced at his brother's family, slowly closed his eyes, and recuperated his energy. Although the Wu family was fierce, they were not difficult to deal with, but it was Wu Weiguang who was in trouble.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Brother! You have to make the decision for Fan'er! Fan'er died miserably."

Suddenly, there was another loud shout, causing the Chen family men to raise their heads at the same time.

But before Chen Jing'an got up to greet him, he asked in a low voice, "Have you sent someone to call Yuan Zhang?"

"Second uncle, I have asked Gou Kongmu to call. But the official residence is closer to the post house, so Wu Shangshu should be faster."

"Well, deal with it carefully. In any case, it will be delayed until Yuan Zhang arrives!"

In the front yard, Wu Weiguang's arrival immediately found the backbone of the Wu family.

One flew to Wu Weiguang and knelt down on the ground, hugging his thigh and crying: "Brother, Fan'er is dead and was beaten to death by Chen Jingyan's family. Brother, you have to help Fan'er take revenge."

As the current head of the Wu family, Wu Weiguang naturally knew the true relationship between his sister and Fan'er, and he felt extremely sad when he saw his sister crying so clearly.

Then with a look, Sun Changhao, who was standing aside, hurriedly stepped forward to help his wife up. Wu Weiguang then walked to Wu Yifan's body, lifted the white cloth covering his nephew's body and took a look.

But he saw that his nephew, who was originally famous for his good looks, had his face completely smashed, his nose was collapsed, his upper lip was half-cracked, and even his right eye was sunken.

Wu Weiguang's heart ached when he recalled his nephew's high-spirited voice and smile.But as a qualified politician, "self-denial and tolerance" have long been integrated into his bones.

He also knew that no matter what happened tonight, Chen Jingyan was not someone he could just take.

At least we can't get him tonight.

If a crime is punished by the same government officials, it must be reviewed by the three yamen and approved by the emperor.

The top priority is to figure out the reason first. If you can catch Chen Jingyan, make him take orders from you, or deal with him afterwards, in short, his nephew of the Wu family did not die in vain.

Wu Weiguang put down the white cloth and walked towards the back house with slow steps.

The government officials who were still blocking the Chuihua Gate couldn’t help but look at Ximen Xi.
Ximen Xi gritted his teeth and stepped in front of Wu Weiguang, but before he could speak, a group of wolf-like sergeants behind Wu Weiguang dragged Ximen Xi aside and beat him up along with the government officials.
Wu Weiguang left Beijing this time for the Mo Shaohong case, and he still has more than a hundred sergeants with him.

In the midst of the commotion, brothers Chen Jing'an and Chen Jingyan led their family out of the house in a hurry and stood still in the courtyard.

As the sergeants rushed into the courtyard with cheers, the surrounding area was suddenly illuminated by dozens of torches.

Wu Weiguang and the Chen brothers looked at each other in the air. The former couldn't help but stare at the blood stains on Chen Jingyan's chest. He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the direction of Wu Yifan's body in the front yard, and said word by word: "Chen Tongzhi, why are you talking to my nephew?" Tell me?"

"Master Wu"

As soon as Chen Jing'an spoke, Chen Jingyan, who had completely recovered, raised his hand and pointed at his son whose head was covered with blood, "Master Wu, why should you explain to Quan Zi?"

Then, Chen Jingyan turned his finger and pointed at the red scratches on his daughter's neck, and said, "Master Wu, why should I explain to my little girl?"

Maybe he knew that what happened tonight was unusual, or maybe it was because Wu Yifan almost killed his two sons just now, which aroused Chen Jingyan's ferocity that he hadn't had in a long time.

At this time, Chen Jingyan, who had blood-stained beard and hair, no longer showed any trace of slickness and cowardice, but a calm and reserved dignity after being furious.

As a guardian, he stood between Wu Weiguang and his wife and children like a mountain.

Wu Weiguang was quite surprised that Chen Jingyan dared to fight with him after he killed his nephew.

"Why did you harm my Fan'er's life? Is it possible that because you are a fellow intellectual, you regard the law of the country as nothing?"

As soon as Wu Weiguang finished speaking, Chen Jingyan heard angrily: "Why? Then I have to ask your good nephew raised by the Wu family! Tonight, my son kindly invited Wu Yifan to drink! I didn't want that little beast to eat two more cups. You want to do something wrong to your little girl! My son stepped forward to stop him and was injured by Wu Yifan's weapon. If I hadn't heard the news and went there in time, my children and I would have suffered at the hands of this little beast tonight!"

"."

Everyone was in an uproar.

Although Xia Cuiyuan has been noisy for a while, most people present still don't understand what happened.

At this time, after hearing Chen Jingyan's sad and indignant accusation, he realized that what happened was combined with the bloody wound on Chen Yingjun's head and the scratches on Chen Jinyu's neck.
It proves that what Chen Tongzhi said is true.

If this is the case, then Wu Yifan's death was not unjust!

I wonder who brother or father in the world would watch his sister or daughter being bullied and remain indifferent!
If tonight's matter is determined in this way, the lawsuit will be brought before the throne of the King of Heaven. Chen Tongzhi also has a point!

At the same time, the Wu family's reputation will also be burdened by Wu Yifan.

"Chen Jingyan, you are farting! I, Fan'er, have been polite and kind to others since I was a child! How could he use force on your little bitch!"

Wu had already lost any sense, and opened her mouth to spit out unbearable insults.

If Sun Changhao hadn't been holding her tightly, he would have rushed forward at any time and tore Tan and Chen Jinyu into pieces.

Wu Weiguang, who was thinking about how to solve the situation tonight, winked at Sun Changhao. The latter understood and loosened his arm holding Wu, who immediately rushed towards Chen Jinyu like an arrow from a string.

Due to excessive fright, Chen Jinyu was a little dazed tonight, but the maid Zhuan Yun was a loyal protector and hugged Chen Jinyu into her arms.

Wu took a few steps forward, but was blocked by Zhuan Yun. She had no choice but to pull Zhuan Yun's bun and hit her in the face crazily.

Mrs. Tan and Aunt Zhang would not let her do this, so they immediately stepped forward to pull her away.

The two of them took action, and Wu's grandmother naturally joined the battle group.

There was chaos in Xia Cuiyuan.

Wu Weiguang took advantage of this short situation to think of a countermeasure. With another look, Sun Changhao, who was always paying attention to his wife and brother, hurriedly called for someone to come forward and drag Wu and others back.

"Little bitch, it was you who harmed me, Fan'er! Sooner or later you will go to Abi Hell! You will not end well either."

Wu, who was carried back by Sun Changhao's armpits, kicked his feet in the air and cursed him.

Wu Weiguang coughed twice and waited for the hospital to be quiet before he said: "Chen Tongzhi, my family's Fan'er's character is well known to the world! We can't just listen to your family's words about tonight's matter! Let's let your children come with me. I have something to ask."

"No!" Chen Jingyan immediately refused.

Although Wei Ting and A Yu are the children of officials, Wu Weiguang has recently lost his nephew, and no one is sure whether he will bother them.

Unexpectedly, Wu Weiguang was very easy to talk to. He only thought about it briefly and said: "Okay. Since Chen Tongzhi is worried about your young lady, I won't force it."

Wu Weiguang paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "Then I will take your maids and women back to inquire about them. Is it not too much to do both emotionally and rationally?"

"."

Chen Yingjun secretly thought that it was not good, the maid Zhuan Yun knew all the inside information. If Wu Weiguang took away the chief of the punishment department, there would be people around him who would use the means of "cannot survive or die".

If Zhuan Yun can't bear it, it will be troublesome to explain everything.

Chen Jingyan hesitated for a moment. He still didn't know that his daughter and Chen Chu had a deep-rooted relationship. He didn't want the maids and wives at home to be taken away, simply because he was worried that they would not get good results if they went away.

But after a legitimate nephew of the Wu family died, it was difficult to refuse the maids of the Chen family for questioning, both emotionally and rationally.

While he was hesitating, he heard a clear male voice shouting from the front yard: "Wu Shangshu can't take anyone away tonight."

The sound reaches people.

At the gate of Xia Cuiyuan, a tall figure strode out from the shadow of the doorway.

It finally came, and Chen Jing'an let out a sigh of relief.

From the beginning to the present, Chen Jinyu, who had never said a word or shed a tear, could not stop her tears when she heard only the sound.

Chen Chu only brought five or six people with him. After being admitted to the hospital, he glanced at the Chen family through the hanging flower door, nodded to Chen Jingyan and Chen Jing'an respectively, but paused for a few more breaths when he looked at Chen Jinyu.

Taking this opportunity, Mao Dan, who had become more and more familiar with his employer's style, ran into the side room and moved a chair out.

Chen Chu glanced at Mao Dan approvingly, and then sat down in the courtyard with a smile.

Wu Weiguang looked sideways at Chen Chu and walked slowly back to the front yard, "Marquis Lu An, what do you mean?"

Chen Chu said lightly: "I mean, Chen Tongzhi is my official in Huaibei. As long as he is in office, I have to protect his family's safety. You can't take away any of the people in this yard."

After saying that, Chen Chu pointed to the corpse under the white cloth and added: "Except him."

Chen Chu's completely unreasonable and unruly attitude finally made Wu Weiguang's anger reach the critical point. He only heard him say in a low voice: "If the accompanying sergeant insists on taking away the Chen family's servant wife, is it possible that Marquis Lu An also wants to kill us?"

Tonight, Wu Weiguang brought about forty or fifty sergeants from Tokyo, and most of the rest stayed in the post house.

The Forbidden Army in the capital has always had a high self-esteem. After hearing Wu Weiguang's words, they all looked at Chen Chu with only five or six men with unkind eyes, and they were actually eager to try.

Chen Chu laughed out loud and raised a finger. Mao Dan understood, and immediately clasped his thumb and index finger together, put it in his mouth and blew a whistle.

Outside the originally peaceful Xia Cui Garden, there was a sudden noise, and soldiers wearing standard military uniforms appeared on the surrounding walls at the same time.

Sitting firmly on the wall, they drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the forbidden troops in the courtyard.
All this happened in just a few breaths.

The forbidden soldiers in the courtyard subconsciously let go of their hands on the knife handles.

Wu Weiguang couldn't help being furious and scolded: "Marquis Lu An! Aren't you afraid that I will interfere with you?"

"Master Wu, let's see who is faster, your memorial or the arrows of my subordinates!"

The night breeze is gentle, and the blue hair is flying.

The originally comfortable and comfortable late spring night was suddenly filled with murderous intent.

Under such strong pressure, people dare not breathe.

Chen Jingyan, who was still standing there, knew that if Chen Chu did this, it would definitely cause an irreparable rift with Da Qi. He was extremely moved in his heart and his eyes felt sour.

Why!The fifth brother did not hesitate to fight against the important ministers beside King Lu for my family affairs. How can I repay this kindness?

From now on, whether you rebel against Qi, surrender to Zhou, or become a thief, my third brother will be willing to lead your horse and kick the pedal for you!
