Crowned the New Han Dynasty

chapter 13
Chen Zhi's words sounded ordinary, but their meaning could be described as extremely vicious. The contempt inside and outside of his words was palpable, and Chen Yun was immediately angry.

"you you you!"

"Don't get angry, don't get angry," Chen Zhi shook his head and said seriously, "Anger generates turbid qi, goes against Yang Yuan, breaks blood vessels, makes the heart stuffy, stagnates blood in all bones, and is the source of all diseases. Besides, you You took the initiative to provoke me, but you didn’t prepare your words, and I was so angry that if you spread the word, others would say that you are useless. If I were the second uncle and heard this kind of thing, I would never choose someone like you as a pawn. , it’s easy to implicate chess players, you’d better restrain yourself.”

What was Chen Zhi's identity in his previous life?When Prime Minister Zhuge and Wang Situ were scolding each other in the air, although he was dead and could not observe and learn from it, he had seen a lot before.

At that time, the heirs of the political dynasty were constantly quoting scriptures at each other. I don’t know how superior they were to Chen Yun. Chen Yun’s words were not even an appetizer. After a few words, Chen Zhi His interest was a little dull, and he couldn't muster any energy at all, so he walked past Chen Yun with his two younger brothers Shi Shiran.

"Good good!"

Chen Zhi's contempt was revealed without concealment, and it made Chen Yun feel more uncomfortable than directly insulting Chen Yun. Chen Yun's face flushed instantly, her chest heaved violently, her eyes darkened slightly, and there was a faint smell of blood in her mouth. , but he swallowed it forcibly.

"The power of words only lasts a short time! Let's wait and see!"

After leaving a few words, Chen Yun turned around and left. He was blocked by a Chen family member in front of him. He couldn't control it and burst out, angrily reprimanding: "Get out of the way and go about your business! What are you looking at here?" Lively!" After saying this, he left angrily.

"If you can't defeat Chen Zhi, take it out on me." The person he scolded muttered, showing dissatisfaction, but he also knew that Chen Yun was now in power and did not dare to speak out.

On the other side, Chen Ting whispered beside Chen Zhi: "Brother, is it not good to provoke Chen Yun like this? He is quite powerful in the clan and is determined to make things difficult for us. We will definitely suffer."

Chen Zhi smiled and praised: "It's good that you can think of this, but for a person like Chen Yun, it's useless even if you are polite to him. He has made up his mind to make things difficult for us. No matter how you give in, I won’t let him change his mind. Even if he doesn’t take action today, sooner or later he will find an opportunity to attack. If you seek stability through compromise, stability will disappear. If you seek stability through struggle, stability will survive.”

"What should we do? Our family is already like this. If Chen Yun makes things difficult for us again..." Chen Xi heard the conversation between the two and became nervous.

"So we need to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible," Chen Zhi already had a plan. "Chen Yun has the momentum to rise and is valued in the clan, but I am not welcomed and it is inconvenient to take the initiative, so let him do it. People like him can't keep their composure and will take the bait if provoked. He has some power now, but his power, connections and resources are not strong. It is easy to deal with him. After luring the snake out of the hole, he can kill it with one blow. To avoid future troubles, if we compromise now and let Chen Yun develop steadily, it will be even more troublesome to deal with him when his network resources become stronger in the future."

While talking, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "This is exactly what the saying says, 'A general who is violent can be provoked to make him angry, and he will show his will, and his ambition will be chaotic, regardless of his original plan'."

Naturally, Chen Ting and Chen Xi would not know that this was originally a strategy used by Chen Bian and Chen Yun to deal with Chen Zhi, but now he was using his own methods to treat Chen Zhi in return.

However, the two younger brothers also understood that their brother had used a provocation method to defeat Chen Yun before he had a detailed plan, and they couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Just looking at the smile on Chen Zhi's face, Chen Ting still couldn't help but said: "Brother, you... are really sinister!"

Chen Zhi's smile immediately froze on his face, and then he said with a straight face: "This is called strategy, it is wisdom, how can it be called insidious!" After saying this, he shook his head.

Chen Ting quickly nodded in agreement, but the two brothers looked at Chen Zhi with a bit of awe.

Chen Zhi helplessly shook his head again without explaining.

After this episode, the Chen family was calm throughout the day, and some discussions were naturally inevitable, whether it was the conflict between Chen Zhi and Chen Yun, the importance of the three elders to Chen Zhi, or the fact that Chen Zhi's house was burned to rubble, and the creditors News of the visit and other news have become the talk of the house, and Chen Zhi has been in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

It's just that there is nothing unusual about his central point. After a normal day, what to do, what to do, but Chen Ting and Chen Xi are uncomfortable being stared at, and they bite the bullet and go through the day.

When the moon was at its peak, Chen Zhi took over the errands and took his two younger brothers back to the side room.

As soon as he stepped in, a familiar voice came from outside the door——

"Master Zhi, the eldest master sent me here to take you to see the store."

Chen Zhi remembered this voice very clearly. "It's you. I remember that you were the one who went to the courtyard to put out the fire." Chen Zhi looked over and saw a servant in green clothes standing outside the door. He had big ears and a tall build. He was no stranger to this person. , when his own house caught fire, several servants and servants sent by Chen Mansion were vaguely headed by this person.

"Young Chen Jue, I have met the three young masters. I just stopped the young master's house before, but I didn't help at all. I feel ashamed all day long." The person outside the door is Chen Jue. When Chen Zhi returned home, he paid attention to it, and wanted to get close to Chen Zhi. At least he would flatter him if he had nothing to do, and he would not lose anything.

With this mentality, when Chen Jue found out about the elder master Chen Chi's treatment of Chen Zhi, he immediately fought for the opportunity to contact Chen Zhi's family.

Although Chen Zhi's previous incidents changed some of his servants' views, they were not enough to make everyone really look at him with admiration. Therefore, no one competed with Chen Jue for this job, allowing him to get what he wanted.

"That's really a coincidence. I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll let you lead the way. I'll rest assured." Chen Zhi knew this person's thoughts like the palm of his hand, so of course he had no reason to refuse.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. How can you say it's hard work if you can do things for Master Zhi?" Chen Jue's mouth is also sweet, no matter whether he thinks highly of the young master in front of him, of course this flattery will not be less, and it will not fall if he says too much a piece of meat.

"Are you leaving already? Brother, where are we moving to?" In the room, Chen Man, who was looking sleepy, heard the noise and swayed over. After listening to the conversation between the two, he felt a little sleepy. Dissipate - She is not old, and her body is still very thin. After experiencing this series of changes, she is exhausted physically and mentally. Naturally, she is very tired. However, this side house is not as good as her own, and she is worried about the situation of her family, so she insists on holding on. Didn't fall asleep.

Not only Chen Man, but Chen Ting, Chen Xi, Chen Fu and others also had tired faces. As for Aunt Liu, she had already fallen asleep, but she still frowned in her sleep.

Chen Zhi turned around and smiled at Chen Man: "Our family will go to a place to stay first, but we won't leave immediately. After all, we are not familiar with it there yet and need to make some arrangements. If you are sleepy, just sleep here. Don’t worry, Uncle Fu and the others are here, everything will be fine.”

Chen Man felt a little relieved, and then asked nervously: "What should I do at home? When will it be repaired?" Her black and white eyes stared at Chen Zhi.

Although Chen Man is young, family poverty stimulates people to mature faster, so he also knows that his family's situation is not good and he is in debt, so he may not have the money to rebuild his family.

Chen Man has lived in her own house since she was born. In the little girl's heart, that is her real home and her whole world. No matter how good another place is, she cannot live safely.

"Don't worry, Xiaoya," Chen Zhi smiled, touched Chen Man's head, and said the other person's nickname, "Brother, I will make an appointment with you. Soon, we can move back to our own house. Let's go to bed first." Well, when you wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine."

If it was Chen Zhi in the past, no one would take his promise seriously, and no one would dare to take it seriously. However, the changes in Chen Zhi in the past few days have deeply touched the people closest to him, such as Chen Fu and Chen Man, so Chen Zhi When Man heard this, he felt somewhat relieved.

After comforting his little sister, Chen Zhi turned around and gave instructions: "Second brother, come with me and find out the situation there first. Uncle Fu, third brother, you stay here to take care of me. It's already late at night, so move here and there." It doesn’t involve much, but after a day of hard work, everyone is sleepy and tired, so there is no need to rush it. If there is anything, we can prepare it tomorrow.”

According to Chen Zhi's speculation and Chen Xi's statement, their destination was a store that had been idle for a while. It was hard to say what the environment was. Chen Zhi would definitely not bring a large family there rashly.After giving instructions, he and Chen Ting followed Chen Jue and headed straight to the shop.

Sure enough, just as Chen Xi guessed, the destination was located on Fengyang Street, a two-story building in the middle of the bustling street.

To say that it is prosperous is only relative. In Chen Zhi's opinion, such streets are incomparable to those of later generations, but compared to the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, they are much better, even if it is getting late now , the scattered signboards along the way also exude popularity.

"This 'Shu Lin Zhai' was originally a calligraphy and painting shop," Chen Jue pointed to the plaque on the main door of the small building and said, "In the past two years, there were floods and military disasters. It was difficult to do work, so it closed. Everything has been emptied.”

Chen Zhi nodded, and searched his memory. He knew that a few years ago, about July of the year when Zhang Chang raised his troops in Yiyang, the floods raged, and the four prefectures of Yan, Xu, Henan, and Ji were hit by disasters. In October of the same year, there was an earthquake. , the world was shocked, so the memory is profound.

That great change also affected Pengcheng County. The cities and towns gradually merged, Fengyang Street gradually emerged, and the nine streams were mixed, making it difficult for the original traditional industries to continue.

Chen Jue added: "My lord, I hope that you, Master Zhi, can use this store to make money, and it is best to repay the gambling debt yourself."

　Thanks to "I don't want nicknames", "Dian Lips to Purple Blood" and "Second Soul Sorrow" for the rewards!
