Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 153
At the end of the quarrel, the people standing in the huge study room were divided into three factions.

One faction is all old and stubborn, advocating that the concubine inherit the family business, while the other faction doesn't show much and obeys the emperor's orders.

The last faction is Chengfeng, who advocates that the Chen family should inherit the family business.

Yinzhen looked a little impatient and said, "Okay, I'm annoyed by the noise."

At this time, Chengfeng said at the right time: "I hope the emperor will make a decision."

Zhen Yinzhen: "Everything said by the lovers is reasonable, but I think what Chengfeng said is good. It's not a bad idea for a woman to inherit the family business. I sent someone to inquire. The Miss Chen family was originally raised as a man. Naturally, it's not bad, I think if she has the ability to take care of the family business, let her inherit the family business."

Chengfeng immediately said: "The emperor is wise."

At this time, someone is not happy.

"My Majesty, I feel that this young lady of the Chen family may not be able to take care of the family business. After all, it's not the same as taking care of the family business after learning about it. It's not convenient for women to show their faces. It is better for the concubine to inherit."

Chengfeng: "The slave thinks..."

Then there was another quarrel, and when the quarrel was almost over, Yinzhen said: "In this case, let Miss Chen and that bastard have a competition."

The result of this competition is already doomed.

Yinzhen is the emperor, since he said so, naturally no one has any objection.

Everyone said: "The emperor is wise."

The competition is very simple, because the time is limited, it is impossible to compare the business of each shop, nothing else, just look at the account book.

This Yinzhen also sent someone to inquire. Chen Yingjiao followed her mother to take care of the housework since she was a child. , teach her.

And that concubine needless to say, before Chen Yingjiao's death, no one knew that he was Chen Xingyu's son. His identity was already obvious to others, so the Chen family naturally wouldn't give him a chance to read the account books.

In addition, Chen Xingyu is not a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been a poor scholar all the time, so his talent is just like that.

Besides, Chen Xingyu always felt ashamed of his son. Before he achieved his goal, Chen Xingyu heard that his son was not living comfortably in the mansion, so he specially bought a house for him.

Naturally, no one cares and no one asks, Chen Xingyu and his mother are very spoiled, let alone study seriously, it would be good if you can read the book honestly.

Chen Yingjiao and her concubine brother were "invited" over very quickly. Prior to this, Yinzhen did not reveal her identity, and the others would not take the initiative to tell.

So Chen Yingjiao lived in a small courtyard, and was suddenly "invited" by someone from the yamen, very puzzled.

Yinzhen's person was kept in the small courtyard, and that person told Chen Yingjiao not to worry.

Chen Yingjiao went there with trepidation, but she had to go, the yamen came to her door, she was an orphan, and she had no right to refuse.

The local county magistrate sat at the head tremblingly, Yinzhen sat by and listened, and some other officials stood around.

The girl from Chen Yingjiao's merchant family naturally didn't have the chance to meet the local magistrate, but she could still recognize the official uniform.

Knowing that the county magistrate was sitting on the top, she also recognized that one of her saviors was sitting on the sidelines. She could tell that the county magistrate was sitting a little unsteadily. The scene made her feel that the identity of the benefactor was unfathomable.

She was naturally happy in her heart, her benefactor was kind, and with his help, her mother's revenge could be avenged.

As for how to repay this kindness, this is something to be considered in the future.

"Minnv has met your lord." Chen Yingjiao knelt on the ground and said.

Usually one has to kneel all the time when entering the Yamen, but now this is not an ordinary grievance. The county magistrate knows that the emperor is sitting next to him, and he is really uncomfortable sitting.

Coupled with the beautiful looks of this Miss Chen family, he was not sure what the emperor meant, so in order not to offend others, he said: "Get up and answer."

The magistrate of the county trembled and said: "I called Miss Chen here today because I have something for Miss Chen to do. Your father Chen Xingyu's murder of his wife has already been concluded. Chen Xingyu will naturally deal with it according to the law, but how to deal with the Chen family's property?" is a problem."

Chen Yingjiao became a little anxious when she heard this. The Chen family's family business was her mother's dowry. Her mother was quite talented in business, but her mother died, and the scumbag father was about to be dealt with. She was happy that her mother's revenge was avenged , The Chen family's family business is indeed a problem.

She absolutely does not want to hand over what her mother left behind to others. This is what her mother left her, not only the basis of her existence, but also a longing.

"My lord, you have to decide for the women of the people!"

The magistrate of the county has heard this a lot, and there is no wave in his heart, but the emperor is sitting next to him!Naturally, he also wants to express whether he loves the people like his son.

"Miss Chen, don't worry. As the official of Jinan's parents, I will naturally not cause the common people to suffer grievances. It's just that Miss Chen has a brother from a concubine. I have an idea. May I ask Miss Chen to hear it?"

Chen Yingjiao is quite smart, and with her benefactor sitting on it, she has a solid foundation in her mind.

"Naturally, a girl can trust your lord."

The magistrate of the county is naturally happy that no one trusts him like a flower.

"That's it, now there is only your concubine brother left in the Chen family. You have a competition with your concubine brother. If you can win him, the family business will be inherited by you. If you fail to win, the family business will be destroyed." Let your concubine brother take care of it for the time being, how does Miss Chen feel?"

Chen Yingjiao naturally didn't want to hand over the family business to her enemy, but she didn't know what to compare, and she wasn't particularly sure.

"What do you want to know about the competition?"

"Look at the ledger."

Looking at the ledger?
After hearing the words of the magistrate, Chen Yingjiao gained a little confidence. Of course, if she doesn't have confidence, she can get it. She won't hand over the family property to others. Besides, it's best if she can take it home herself. If she can't take it home, For the time being, no one dared to touch her. When uncle knew about her situation, she would not be so passive.

"Minnv is willing to give it a try."

At this time, Chen Yingjiao's concubine brother was also brought here.

Chen Lingjun also felt unlucky recently. He was about to become the serious young master of the Chen family, but within a few days after moving into the Chen residence, both his parents were imprisoned, and he was taken to the yamen immediately after.

Although he is also a bigot, but this is the first time he came back to this yamen. When he came in, he saw the county magistrate sitting above him, and a cold-faced gentleman sitting next to him, and the people standing around him looked like they couldn't be offended. people.

Because he was too afraid in his heart, he didn't see that his sister was standing next to him. After all, in his impression, his sister was already dead. He saw his sister was knocked out and taken out with his own eyes.

Chen Lingjun knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "Caomin has seen you."

The county magistrate is an official anyway, to be a county magistrate in such an affluent place like Jinan is someone who knows how to judge people. After comparing the two siblings of the Chen family and making a judgment, he feels that the bastard is really not worthy of the stage.

I thought so in my heart, but I still got him up. After all, Miss Chen didn't let her kneel all the time, so the bowl of water on his face was level!

After standing up, Chen Lingjun saw the sister-in-law at the side, and his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help saying: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

He said this in public, because he was afraid that the voice was not low, and everyone heard it. That is to say, Chen Yingjiao was knocked out and thrown into the river. Regardless of whether Chen Lingjun participated or not, he knew about it.

The magistrate's face was not very good and he said: "In broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?"

Only then did Chen Lingjun realize that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry.

"Grass people make a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

The county magistrate glanced at the emperor sitting next to him, Yinzhen said nothing, so the county magistrate had no choice but to follow the original plan.

The magistrate of the county explained the situation, and Chen Lingjun would naturally not refuse, and there was no money for the refusal. Don't you think that the huge family property of the Chen family is likely to fall into his hands. Isn't it clear what to choose?
