Chapter 230 The Strange Governor's Mansion

Chen Qian, 40 years old this year, is already a bit fat, with a round belly that fills up the gorgeous clothes, and looks like a woman who is pregnant.

When he was young, he held an official position in Yecheng, but because he accidentally offended a nobleman, he was finally dismissed and returned to his hometown of Qingzhou.

The Chen family was originally a well-known big family in Qingzhou, with huge influence and deep roots.

After Chen Qian returned to Qingzhou, he bought a lot of land properties. In addition, he made good friends with most officials in Qingzhou. Qian is the leading local tyrant in Qingzhou.

During the Qingzhou turmoil, Chen Qian left Qingzhou City under the protection of his family's nursing home, thus saving his life. He did not return until Dou An took control of the situation. Chen Qian and Dou An were old acquaintances, and now they have established a "deep" With the support of Dou An, Chen Qian jumped up without much effort and became the biggest winner in Qingzhou City after Dou An.

When Dou An fell from the horse, Chen Qian felt that the crisis was approaching, but he was happy to block the gate of the city, leaving him nowhere to escape. This time, after receiving the invitation, Chen Qian was angry and afraid, and wanted to cry without tears. Early in the morning, he asked his servants to prepare two carts full of gifts and walked to the Governor's Mansion. Although these gifts made Chen Qian's heart ache, compared with his life, these were nothing more than things outside his body.

Coming to the gate of the governor's mansion, looking at the familiar vermilion lacquer gate, Chen Qian sighed. He had been here a few days ago, and had a good time with Dou An, but now things are different, and Dou An has already He was beheaded by Gao Xin, and his body was thrown into the wild. Now he is probably picked up by wild dogs.

Looking at the quiet Governor's Mansion through the open door, Chen Qian's back felt cold for no reason, but the tall door lintel looked like the mouth of a ferocious beast in his eyes, which made him terrified, Gao Xin The scene of beheading Dou An angrily came to mind, Chen Qian seemed to have seen Dou An's body rotting under the scorching sun, and smelled a strong stench at the end of his nose.

"Ouch," Chen Qian's stomach turned violently, his rosy face suddenly turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Behind Chen Qian, a servant immediately supported him and asked.

"It's okay." Chen Qian took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his forehead, took a deep breath, and then said to the servant beside him, "Go and report that Chen Qian has arrived."

The boy took the order to leave, and came back quickly, looked at Chen Qian with some doubts and said, "Master, there is a sign behind the gate, which says 'Please come in',"

"Well," Chen Qian was puzzled, and hurried up a few steps. Sure enough, as the boy said, there was a tall sign behind the vermilion lacquered gate with the four characters "Please come in" written on it. This character is like a silver hook painted on iron, it is written very vigorously and vigorously, and a mighty and broad momentum jumps out of the paper, which makes people's hearts tremble.

Chen Qian trembled in his heart, pondered for a while, and finally mustered up his courage, ordered the servants behind him to take the gift, and walked together to the governor's mansion.

Walking on the straight bluestone road, Chen Qian felt his heart beating faster, and his back was sweating. For some reason, the Governor's Mansion was so weird. There was no guard in front of the gate, and there was no one in the front yard. It was very strange. Quiet, very permeating.

After passing through the courtyard, turning around a rockery, and entering the interior, Chen Qian suddenly felt a bright light in front of him. In the open courtyard in front of him, dozens of tables had already been placed, but the tables were empty. Still no one was seen.

Chen Qian frowned, swallowed uneasily, and finally chose a table near the back to sit down. Looking at the empty yard, Chen Qian's anxiety and anxiety became stronger and stronger. Thinking of falling into the tiger's mouth, maybe He was about to die in Huangquan, his heart was terrified, and under despair, his eyes became lax and wandering.

"Hey, Boss Chen, you came too early." After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qian felt that the anxiety in his heart was almost unbearable, when suddenly a voice full of surprise came from behind.

Chen Qian trembled all over and almost rolled down the table. After he stabilized his body, Chen Qian realized that a thin middle-aged man was also accompanied by four or five servants, carrying heavy gifts Come in from the outside.

"Hmph, it's not too late for you to lose money," Chen Qian said bluntly with a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.

"Okay, old Chen Qian, you actually humiliated me, and you can't die," the later thin middle-aged man's face flashed with anger, and he stared sharply at Chen Qian, with veins trembling on his forehead .

The name of this thin middle-aged man is Pei Nianqian, and he is also a well-known and respectable family in Qingzhou. Because he looks a little thin, he is said to be the result of "losing money" in private. Pei Nianqian is very worried about this. Calling Qian to his face immediately made him angry.

"I'm afraid you won't make it," Chen Qian said. He couldn't bear the restlessness in his heart for a long time. Seeing that Pei Nianqian wanted to make trouble at this time, he naturally wished for an outlet to vent his emotions. You must know what Chen Qian brought. There are twice as many people as Pei Nianqian.

"Don't be crazy," Pei Nianqian yelled fiercely, and ordered to the servant behind him, "Come on, take down old thief Chen Qian for me."

"Well, you lose money, you really don't know how to live or die, come here, come on, break my loser's legs," Chen Qian's chest heaved violently, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Stop!" Seeing that the two sides were about to start fighting, there was a sudden shout not far away. The dull and loud voice made everyone's hearts tremble, and they stopped involuntarily and followed the prestige.

Only twenty meters away, a thin young man was standing quietly. Although he was dressed in cloth and straw sandals, he had a deep and serious face, and his eyes were piercing, which was very extraordinary. Looking far away, everyone can feel the fierce aura on him.

"Boss Chen, Boss Pei, you two are considered to be the top households in Qingzhou City, why do you fight like gangsters in the governor's mansion? Could it be that you don't take Lord Governor in your eyes?"

Chen Qian and Pei Nianqian said they dared not, and stared at each other, Chen Qian clasped his fists and asked, "I don't know your surname, Gao."

"I'm just an adult's pawn," the boy twitched the corners of his mouth, seeming to smile, but he didn't seem to be.

"I was confused for a while, and I hope the governor will accept the offense." Pei Nianqian and Chen Qian looked at each other but did not dare to make mistakes, their faces were full of fear.

"Bosses, please sit down," the young man smiled, then turned and left, only to disappear after a few steps.

Just as Chen Qian and Pei Nianqian were hostile to each other and were anxiously thinking about countermeasures, many people came one after another from outside the door. These could not be the rich and powerful families of Qingzhou City.

"I don't know what the new governor wants to do."

"It's probably not a good thing. Didn't you hear him say that the land will be re-measured and allocated? This is the disaster I'm waiting for,"

"Well, if he wants to deprive us of our land, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid of him. Although he has a strong army, he is full of ignorant pariahs. They don't know how to manage a city. If Gao Xin forces me to wait, then we will fight him to death without our help. Sooner or later, the city of Qingzhou will inevitably be paralyzed, and when King Jiaodong goes north, it will be the end of Gao Xin."

"Having said that, I'm afraid that Gao Xin is a reckless man, so what will happen to my life?"

……

It was three and ten minutes in the sun, and when Chen Qian and others felt the scorching heat above their heads, a clear and majestic voice sounded: "Lord Inspector is here,"

Chen Qian and the others got up immediately and followed the sound with different thoughts.

As the footsteps approached, a group of people appeared in the field of vision of Chen Qian and the others. When they saw the short-haired, handsome young man at the head, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. , who doesn't know that the man with short hair is the governor Gao Xin.

What is puzzling is that Gao Xing is dressed at this time. He is not wearing the official uniform of the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, let alone the signature white gown. Instead, he is wearing a short linen shirt. He is wearing a pair of straw sandals on his bare feet, and his trouser legs are rolled up high. , revealing the calf covered with mud.

"Which episode is this governor acting in?" Chen Qian and the others thought at the same time. Today's governor's mansion is full of weirdness, which makes people puzzled.

Although confused in their hearts, Chen Qian and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed down: "I have seen Lord Inspector,"

"Bosses, please stand up, Gao Xin is polite, please sit down," Gao Xing came to the upper seat and stood still, with a smile on his face, eyes slightly squinted, arched his hands to the surroundings, and stood up Sit first.

"Thank you, my lord," everyone thanked, and then sat down one after another.

"Shunzhi, let's serve dinner," Gao Xing said to the young man accompanying him, this person was Zhang Shunzhi, the one who prevented Chen Qian from fighting Pei Nianqian earlier.

"Dinner is ready," Zhang Shunzhi shouted loudly.

Soon, dozens of strong men in helmets and armor came from the backyard. These people walked calmly and neatly, and looked very powerful, but they did not have cold weapons in their hands. A wooden tray with steaming meals.

Chen Qian and the others immediately looked at each other, not knowing what the governor's plan was, and couldn't help but change their minds quickly. These servants were obviously soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, with a faint evil spirit on them, and they were obviously not easy to get along with.

When the meal was placed in front of Chen Qian and the others, everyone was struck by lightning, and for a moment they stared dumbfounded at the things in front of them and forgot to speak.

"Is this rice?" After a long time, Chen Qian came back to his senses and asked himself.

In front of Chen Qian and the others, there was a slightly damaged ceramic bowl, which contained half a bowl of porridge. It was said to be porridge, but through the clear soup, the number of rice grains at the bottom of the bowl could be counted clearly. In the middle of each table, there is a plate with unknown green vegetables, but it can only just cover the bottom of the plate.

"Bosses, why are you sitting still? Let's have dinner now," Gao Xing picked up the pottery bowl in front of him, and looked at everyone strangely.
