Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 298 The Chen Family’s Crisis
This Su Jun had been to Pengcheng before, met and had a relationship with Chen Zhi.

That time, Su Jun, Gan Bao and others came here to recruit Chen Zhi to the Governor's Mansion. Although they failed in the end, because of Zhuge Yan and Wang Mi, they were much closer to Chen Zhi. Zhang Chu not only did not blame a few people, but also praised them.

Now, Su Jun has succeeded Gan Bao and is the new governor, a close official of the state governor, and has high-level contacts. Whether it is power or personal connections, he is one of the best in Xuzhou.

Such a person, no matter which family or government he goes to, even many people who are higher than him in official position and official rank, must be polite when meeting him. How can he be like this Zhang Yang, who always warns and admonishes as soon as he speaks? The taste of superiority.

When Su Jun heard this, his face became a little ugly.

Regardless of official position or seniority, this Zhang Yang is under Su Jun. But because he is a direct descendant of the Zhang family and a sibling of Zhang Chu, and has a higher local reputation, he turned his back on guests and took the lead in this matter——

In fact, this time Zhang Chu considered all aspects and sent Su Jun out. He wanted to focus on Su Jun. He didn't expect that although Su Jun had good personal ability, he also had the confidence to control the situation. When the people below don't listen to you, no matter how great your ability is, it won't be able to show itself.

In other words, Su Jun also realized that in the past, he was too naive to learn from Qian Bao, be kind to others, try to have a good relationship with everyone, and then use favors to influence others. If you are a good person, it will be difficult for you to have prestige. Others respect you but are not afraid of you. If they feel that you will not be punished if they disobey you at critical moments, then of course they will choose to deal with you and then go to please Zhang Yang, who has more background.

As things have developed now, Su Jun has been completely sidelined. He has been reduced from a nominal chief official to an auxiliary official. At the same time, he has to maintain the balance between the governor's office and the county governor's office. It can be said that it is exhausting, but even if In this way, Zhang Yang ordered an attack on such a big matter, but did not inform him in advance, and even scolded himself in front of the county guard and others. This is treating him like a domestic servant!

After thinking about this, how could Su Jun have a good face? He immediately said: "Zhang Shaofu, if things are really that simple and all the affairs of the world can be solved by watching servants fight privately, then what do you want me to do with the officials?" ?”

Originally, after Zhang Yang finished speaking, he wanted to say a few words to Xu Hui, but after hearing Su Jun's words, he turned his head again, glanced at him, and said lightly: "I told you a long time ago that I will be the one to help you this time." One person is enough. After all, you don’t have enough status, your vision is not good enough, and you don’t see enough things, so you are bound to be timid about some things. Like the Chen family, I can destroy them with just one hand!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Hui finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Long Lang Qiankun, there is no reason for such a war between this aristocratic family, this case must not be opened! Come on!"

Seeing Zhang Yang's attitude, he knew that he couldn't make sense with this person, so he simply didn't argue with him, and directly called someone: "Quickly mobilize the subordinate staff, go to the manor outside the city to stop it, and then order the county lieutenant and others to lead the men to increase the number of people." Members, we must not let things get too big!"

Xu Hui was really anxious. Some time ago, he had done a few things with the help of Chen Zhi, and he had won awards from above, and even received many praises. This invisibly connected his interests with the Chen family.

Not only Xu Hui, but all the officials and aristocratic families in Pengcheng County have actually benefited from Chen Zhi's affairs, and their interests have been connected. If the Chen family falls or is characterized as evil, they will be the same. They will all be implicated, and of course they don’t want to see such a situation.

However, just as the people ordered by Xu Hui were about to leave, many tall and strong men poured in outside the house, blocking the way of these people and preventing them from leaving.

Not only that, these people were scattered everywhere inside and outside the house, blocking all the exits and preventing people in the house from leaving.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? This is the Sheriff's Mansion. You blocked all the people in my Sheriff's Mansion. Do you mean to arrest me as the Sheriff? Is it in your eyes to touch the official of the court without permission? Is it true that there is no more royal law?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "In extraordinary times, only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things! I still have this courage, and I also know that all of you in Pengcheng have a close connection with the Chen family. , asking you to take action will never lead to any results. In this case, why not let me make the decision for you, and wait until everything is settled and there is no other path, then you will all give up."

"Okay, okay! What a courage!" Xu Hui's face changed suddenly and turned red, "No matter what the outcome is this time, but you detained the imperial official without permission, after this incident, I will definitely inform the superiors of this matter, even if it is You, the direct descendant of the Zhang family, can't do anything wrong!"

"When the time comes, I'll do whatever you want!"

But Zhang Yang didn't care. He knew in his heart that if what happened this time could be accomplished, if the Chen family in Pengcheng fell, it would have a chain effect that would affect the Chen family in Xiapi, and then the servant Chen would also suffer. The officials of their faction were inevitably passive. How could the elder of the Zhang family who was an official in the court not seize the opportunity?
This local move will directly change the family's power in the court. Of course, such a thing can be done. Once it is done, will the family value itself and have to worry about the reprimand of a county guard?

Therefore, he was not worried at all. He smiled and waited for the news to come back.

In contrast, Su Jun looked gloomy, and Xu Hui looked a little anxious. They didn't have much hope for the Chen family's servants, because the people who besieged them were of extraordinary origin.

…………… “Have the reinforcements from the city not arrived yet?”

In Chen Zhi's manor, everyone in the Chen family gathered together anxiously. Here were the Chen family masters including Chen Chi, Chen Bian, etc., as well as Chen Ting, Chen Xi, Chen Luo and other Mesozoic members of the Chen family. Junior.

In fact, the reason why they gathered here was because they had no choice but to do so.

After the incident happened, the Chen family fell into chaos. When people from the south came again, they targeted the Chen family and Chen Zhi's family. Chen Chi, Chen Bian and others all knew that Chen Zhi was the future of the Chen family. Although both parties still had Contradictions, but they also let go of their prejudices and unite together to keep Chen Zhi's house and prevent accidents.

But the Zhang family is a big family after all. Even though it is based in Jiangzuo, it has connections all over the world. At their request, the situation of the Chen family in Pengcheng deteriorated rapidly. In the end, in order to concentrate their efforts, to work together, and at the same time to consider protection Chen Zhi's brother and sister often gathered in Chen Zhi's manor.

As a result, Zhang Yang's people seized this opportunity and launched a sudden attack, intending to kill all the Chen family in Pengcheng!
"Zhang Yang is so awesome at what he does. It's not like he's in troubled times. He actually leads the army to attack! What's the difference between him and a bandit?"

"At this point, don't worry about these things for now. The most important thing is to find a way to escape. I don't know how long the servants trained by Xiao Qi will be able to withstand it. It's best to delay the arrival of reinforcements from the county."

"It's hard to say whether there are reinforcements in this county. Although other families have given a lot of help secretly, they dare not help my Chen family openly. They are also afraid of offending the Zhang family, so they don't dare to do so openly. Those who send people can only hope for the government, but fortunately, County Sheriff Xu has become close to my Chen family recently, so there is still hope."

Chen Chi, Chen Bian, Chen Xun, Chen Yu and others were talking with anxious faces. They were usually dignified, but after all they had never encountered such a situation. It was not only a handover of troops, but also a battle between large clans. The boy was in disarray.

"Oh, it would be great if only Zhi'er was here." As he spoke, Chen Chi suddenly sighed, "It has been said in the rumors that he led his servants to defeat the Huns cavalry in one breath, and even defeated the horse bandits before. , he also had contact with refugees, and before studying abroad, he also had opinions on military strategists. Among all the Chen family members, he is the most knowledgeable about military affairs. With him in charge, this dilemma can naturally be solved."

"If Zhi'er was here, such a thing would have happened, and it would have been settled long ago." Chen Bian also had his own opinion, "The reason for this is still that big man. You said he was doing well, so why bother to kill him! "

"You can't say that," Chen Yuan shook his head, "Those monks have a deep prejudice against my Chen family, and that ranger did it for my Chen family. If you go out, you will be ridiculed."

Just as the passerby introduced, the Chen family was surprised by the sudden arrival of the big man. However, this man was very righteous and only came to Chen Zhi to test his skills. According to the man, he had been there a few years ago. , fought against Wang Mi, and after a hard fight, both sides were neck and neck.

After that, the big man practiced hard for several years, hoping to compete again, but he was too involved in this hard training. When he came to his senses and wanted to find Wang Mi and compete again, he suddenly heard that , Wang Mi was actually dead, and judging from various intelligence, he died in the hands of a man named Chen Zhi.

Because of this, the big man came here. After learning that Chen Zhi was going on a study tour, the man thought about it and felt that it was unrealistic to search all over the world, so he decided to wait and wait, and stayed in Pengcheng. I found a place to stay not far from Chen's house.

"That man was too impulsive. He killed so many people in one breath. Now there are no more people. But this matter has been blamed on our Chen family. It is really unjust. Now there are so many people outside attacking and killing, saying It doesn’t make sense, what should I do?”

"Isn't it because Chen Man talked a lot with that person recently that this caused the disaster? Isn't it because that person took action because a few monks had a quarrel with Chen Man? If it doesn't work, let Chen Man..."

"Bullshit!"

There were a lot of footsteps outside, and a team of about a hundred or nearly 200 people were moving around the manor. When the sound came in, many of the younger members of the Chen family were completely panicked and made random decisions.

Their words made several old Chens angry.

"Even if I send you little bastards out, I can't touch Chen Man at all!"
