Chapter 23
A resounding remark weighs more than a thousand catties.

Although the spread of the bad news in Ninghe County cannot be suppressed.

But it suppressed the panic in the entire Chen residence, and also suppressed some of the sudden chaos in the county town.

It took only an hour for the news to spread, and the Chen Mansion had already dispatched people to the county government and the major families to inform.

Then in just half a day, the principals of each family gathered together to discuss countermeasures in the largest restaurant in the city.This is the property of the Chen family, Chen Yi's Manjusri Building.

The entire Manjusri Building is very lively right now.

The lobby on the first floor was already full of people.

These people are the patriarchs of small clans with some wealth and influence in the city. They sit around a table in groups of three or four, and they are divided into many small circles.

Some of them sat silently in a state of anxiety, while others whispered to each other, discussing a lot. The only thing in common was that all of them had a deep look of worry on their faces.

The faces of all beings in the lobby clearly fell into Chen Yi's eyes.

At this time, he was sitting in a separate compartment on the second floor, only a few steps away from the fence, facing the hall, Chen Hua and Wang Chao stood beside him.

Similarly, the people downstairs can see them clearly.

Surrounding them were sitting in the same compartment on the second floor, and those who surrounded the lobby were the real big shots in Ninghe, the parents of more than ten famous families and leaders from all walks of life, and finally the county dignitaries who represented the imperial court sat at the top. .

In addition to the Chen family, the hundreds of people gathered in the Manjusri building at this moment are outstanding people who control the power of the county and the lifeblood of all walks of life, representing the upper class of the entire Ninghe county.

Chen Yi picked up the cup of tea in his hand and took a sip. Just as he took a drink, his brows frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to have an attack, he suddenly remembered that this seemed to be his own restaurant. He pressed on again.

"That's it."

Putting down the teacup, he turned to Chen Hua and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Chen Hua looked around, then turned around and said, "It's almost there. Right now, I'm just waiting for the magistrate to speak."

So the three of them stopped talking and waited quietly.
It shouldn't be Chen Yi who came here, but the head of the family, Chen Mengyuan, is thousands of miles away, and Chen's mother is a female family member, so it is not appropriate to show her face in public.

In such a scene, it is not appropriate for Chen Hua to come forward alone. That's why he, a young man who has not yet reached the crown, sits on the same level as the big man with high morals and heavy weight on the second floor for so many years.

Looking at Chen Yi sitting on the second floor, there are already many talkative people in the lobby talking about
"Isn't the Chen family the most prominent family in Ninghe? Hu Kou's entry into the country is such a big event, why is it a brat who came forward?" A middle-aged man dressed in foreign clothes asked with a bit of jealousy.

This person has a strong body, a round face and big ears, but his expression looks gloomy, and he stands out among the group of people who are talking about Chen Yi.

Chen Yi's ears and eyes have been trained for many years, and his inner strength is nourished. Even if he doesn't exercise his skills, he is extremely sharp. In addition, the person who spoke has a loud voice, even if he is on the second floor, Chen Yi still heard this question.

"Who is this? So rude" He didn't show any anger on his face, and calmly turned his head to ask Chen Hua.

Chen Hua cupped his hands and replied: "This person is the head of a gambling stall in the city. He is very disciplined on weekdays. He has never heard of any bad reputation on the surface. But I heard that he has a hot temper. I saw him today. It is true."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked lightly, "Do you have a background?"

"I heard that this person has gathered a group of thugs, and he also has some deals with the rogues in the city in private. I have never heard of any background."

"Ha" Chen Yi chuckled lightly.

Turning to Wang Dynasty, he said: "It's also funny. My Chen family was originally reduced to here, so I can let such a person talk about it. How is this person's skill?"

Dynasty also smiled slightly, and responded: "It's not worth mentioning. What does the second son mean?"

Chen Yi smiled and said: "Fork it out. This kind of people are not worthy of discussing with everyone here."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Call some more people, and now go and blow up his gambling stalls. Dismissing those thugs is so arrogant, it may be the secret work of the barbarians. Even if it is not, Ninghe will be less troublesome in the future."

Just casually put a hat on the boss of the gambling stall and ruined his future.
"It's fine on weekdays. It's right to fart. How dare you insult me ​​in this season and on this occasion. I don't know if someone is behind the scenes. My Proton knife has not been sold out yet."

Chen Yi sighed.

When Wang Chao heard the words, he smiled even more: "The second son is worried that there is nowhere to test the sword. There are countless barbarians in Changding Pass? Maybe in two days, he will send it to his door." Yi's joke.
From the beginning to the end, the three of them didn't pay attention to the man downstairs, and they didn't even mention his name.

It's just a small person, and I don't know who has a blunt knife in his hand.Even if there is no one to instigate him behind the scenes. Since he doesn't open his eyes, just let him be fulfilled.

Is it true that the Chen family has been raising and caring for many years and switched to a vegetarian diet?
After a while.

At the door, there were a few guards of the Chen family with big arms and round waists, walking in murderously with knives in hand. The people downstairs were startled, at a loss, and gave way to them tremblingly.

The leader is Zhou Feiyu's good brother Li Fu
Several big men put their knives on the man's neck.

The boss of the gambling stall had an unbelievable expression on his face, and was about to ask for help from the county venerable upstairs, but in the next second, someone grabbed his arms and kicked him in the stomach.
This person's complexion turned pale in an instant, and Li Fu grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him out of the door like a rag. He looked in the direction he was leaving. It was the south of the city where his family's gambling stall was located.

The commotion was so loud that everyone in the lobby downstairs fell silent and stopped speaking.

The parents of various factions sitting on the second floor did not change their faces, and remained calm. However, Qian Hong, the county lord at the top, looked sideways at Chen Yi.

Sensing his gaze, Chen Yi looked at him, then showed his white teeth and gave him a big smile
Qian Hong didn't change his face, and said to Zhang Ke, his master at the side: "This Chen family is really lucky, and there are many outstanding people. The eldest son Chen Meng is now the person in Liu Zhoumu's eyes, and the second son of this family looks young, but he is not a person A fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhang Ke replied: "There are many aristocratic families in the city, headed by the Chen family. His family has accumulated goodwill for many years, and has always been friendly with other families, and has a deep background. I heard that he has many connections in the frontier army. The most. This meeting was also initiated by the old lady of the Chen family."

"Chen Meng needless to say, the second son, Chen Yi. It is heard that the Chen family is a martial arts genius who has not appeared in a century, and he has achieved success in only three years of martial arts."

Qian Hong sighed and said: "Presumably in the next few days, we will have to deal with the second son of the Chen family. It's really troublesome."

Zhang Ke smiled and said nothing. There was still a word he didn't say to Qian Hong, the county official who had just taken office.

In Ninghe, the Chen family is the emperor of the land. Their words are more effective than Qian Hu, the king of the county.

Of the people in front of me, if Mrs. Chen hadn't spoken, half of them would be considered good just because of his face.
