The Most Powerful Man in the World

As Miao Yuan said, if you really want to kill, you can only kill Chen Zhong and his son, but if Chen Zhong and his son die in the cellar like this, the Chen family will disappear all of a sudden. The two of them, it is certain that the old and weak women and children of the Chen family are not crazy looking for them everywhere.

Once the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the attention of the court.

Two big living people suddenly disappeared in their own homes. As long as the people in the court who were in charge of searching for them were not fools, they would definitely have noticed that there was something strange in them. At that time, they would be waiting for them to be the court soldiers.

"Only in this case, our safety is left to the Chen family's father and son to decide, which is too passive!"

Miao Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, we can't bet on whether their father and son will keep their word. If they keep their word, that's fine. Once they don't keep their word, our whereabouts will inevitably be exposed. This old man has never been one to sit still. "

As he spoke, Miao Yuan looked at Miao Yu and said, "If the old man remembers correctly, Chen Zhong once said that they are the three generations of Chen's grandfather and grandson. If nothing else happens, Chen Zhong's new eldest grandson who is less than a year old is Chen Zhong. Son of Kan!"

Miao Yu immediately looked at Miao Yuan and said, "Master means..."

Stroking his beard, Miao Yuan said lightly: "For the sake of their father and son not doing anything irreparable wrong, the old man can only do this."

Miao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, this old slave will bring Chen Zhong's grandson. I believe that with the Chen family's eldest grandson in hand, the Chen family's father and son will be honest and tight-lipped!"

The father and son of the Chen family left the cellar, and after they left the cellar far enough, Chen Zhong let out a long breath, glared at Chen Kan and said, "You are so rash, if it weren't for the merciful words of the master. , I'm afraid you and my father and son really won't be able to get out of that cellar!"

Chen Zhong was just being honest, not stupid. He naturally knew that the life and death of their father and son was really between Miao Yuan's thoughts.

Chen Kan's back was soaked wet, and he gritted his teeth: "Father, they are serious offenders in the imperial court. If we hide the serious criminals from the imperial court like this, once it is discovered, it will be a capital crime!"

Chen Zhong took a deep breath and said, "The Chen family has been a vassal of the Miao family from the very beginning, and this can't be changed. Just as Master Miao said, our Chen family and the Miao family are grasshoppers on a rope. If Master Miao falls into In the hands of the imperial court, our Chen family is also doomed."

Chen Kan snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true, although our Chen family was once a vassal of the Miao family, but father, you have been separated from the Miao family for decades. Besides, even our Chen family is a vassal of the Miao family. So what, with the great merit of reporting, what is the matter of our Chen family?"

"No, no!"

Chen Zhong shook his head again and again, stared at Chen Kan and said, "Remember your kid, you have never seen Master Miao, otherwise our Chen family will be killed by you!"

With a bit of reluctance on his face, Chen Kan nodded.

The father and son of the Chen family have something on their minds, but fortunately, the father and son are the pillars and backbones of the Chen family. As women, even if they have doubts, they will not ask.

After dinner, Chen Kan's wife was teasing her son who had just learned to walk, so she went back to the house to get a piece of clothes, and then went back to the yard. The son who was giggling there was gone.

"My God, my son..."

Chen Kan's daughter-in-law searched the yard but couldn't find any trace of her child. She couldn't help crying. In a blink of an eye, Chen Zhong and Chen Kan all ran out.

Chen Kan grabbed his daughter-in-law's shoulder and said, "Xiu Niang, what's going on, what about my son? What about our child?"

Chen Kan's daughter-in-law cried and said, "In a blink of an eye, the stone disappeared. I'll go back to the room to get a piece of clothing for the stone..."

The family searched the home, but still no trace of the child was found.

Chen Zhong's wife said: "The backyard, yes, there is still no search for the backyard, will he run to the backyard?"

Several people's eyes lit up, and at the same time Chen Zhong and Chen Kan snorted in their hearts.

They just thought it was the child hiding, and subconsciously forgot the backyard, but when they heard the backyard, the father and son looked at each other immediately, and they thought of a possibility.

It was just thinking of this possibility that the two of them had a bit of horror in their eyes.

With a slight sway of his body, Chen Zhong took out the aura of the head of the family, and said solemnly: "You guys can look for it in the yard, Kan'er, you can follow me to the backyard to find it, no matter what, you must find the stone. !"

Chen Zhong has always been honest and friendly. Even the size of the family has rarely seen Chen Zhong's serious side, and subconsciously obeyed Chen Zhong's arrangement.

Chen Zhong and Chen Kan's father and son appeared at the entrance of the cellar, and then a voice said: "Since you are here, come down!"

The father and son looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked slowly into the cellar. Chen Kan saw his son lying motionless next to Miao Yuan at a glance, and exclaimed almost instinctively, "Stone!"

Miao Yuan gently stroked the stone's head, and said with a bit of kindness on his face: "What a good boy, Chen Zhong, Chen Kan, your Chen family's incense is not prosperous, this child is a hustler, the old man saw Everyone likes it very much!"

Seeing Miao Yuan stroking the stones, Chen Zhong and Chen Kan and their father and son were nervous in their hearts. It has to be said that Miao Yuan really caught the weakness of the father and son.

The eldest son and the eldest grandson, just like what Miao Yuan said, the incense of the Chen family is not prosperous, and Chen Zhong has only one son, Chen Kan, and his daughter has given birth to as many as three or four.

When it comes to Chen Kan's generation, it is also normal. After giving birth to two daughters, he finally gave birth to a grandson like Shishi, and the family is almost like a baby.

Chen Zhong said in a trembling voice: "Master, Shitou is still a child! You are merciful, don't hurt Shishi..."

Miao Yuan looked at Chen Zhong, shook his head and said, "Look, where have you been thinking, you Chen family are loyal servants of my Miao family, how could this old man hurt such a cute little doll, see This child, the old man can't help but miss my grandson, who is also this size, and I don't know if it's okay now..."

Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Master, young master must be all right..."

He looked up at Chen Zhong and his son and said, "Okay, let this little stone accompany the old man here these days. Don't worry, the old man will treat him like a grandson."

Chen Kan's face darkened, although Miao Yuan didn't say it clearly, but they also knew in their hearts that it was Miao Yuan who was holding their father and son with stones.

But they didn't dare to act rashly. If Miao Yuan was really stimulated, their Chen family would really be finished.

With a bit of a wry smile on his face, Chen Zhong glanced at the sleeping stone with a bit of pity and said: "It is a blessing for the stone to be loved by the master. Since this is the case, let the stone accompany the master these days. Bar!"

Chen Kan, who was beside him, couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Father..."

Chen Zhong glared at Chen Kan and said: "Okay, the father's idea has been decided, so it's settled, the stone must be valued by the master, that is the blessing of the stone!"

With that said, Chen Zhong said to Chen Kan: "Go to appease and return your mother-in-law or your mother, and say that the stone has been found, so they don't have to worry and don't make a noise! ​​I'm here to accompany the master and the stone"

With a hesitant look on Chen Kan's face, Chen Zhong couldn't help but push Chen Kan, then gave Chen Kan a hard look and said, "Don't hurry up!"

Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, glanced at Chen Zhong, then at his son, took a deep breath and bowed to Miao Yuan: "Master Miao, it's a little cooler in the cellar, I'm going to fetch some stones. clothing!"

Glancing at Chen Kan lightly, Miao Yuan thought that he had helped the lifeline of the Chen family, so he had no worries about Chen Kan, and smiled slightly: "Yes, such a cute doll, don't get cold, you Let's go!"

Chen Kan turned and walked out of the cellar. After some comfort, the women and children of the Chen family said they were still worried about the safety of the stone, but they were a little relieved when they saw Chen Kan saying that Chen Zhong was taking care of the stone at the moment.

It didn't take much time for Chen Kan to send some clothes over before leaving the cellar.

In the city, people from the Miao Clan and Lu Clan were searched intensively. It can be said that even if some people were hidden very closely, they were still caught.

After all, the things that the Lu family, the Miao family and the others did in Taiyuan City were too unpopular, and I don't know how many people whose homes were destroyed by them wished to burn them to ashes.

The relatives of the big families who were wiped out by the Lu and Miao families were united, and their strength was not weak at all. In addition, the court offered a reward for the whereabouts of several of their families, whether it was for revenge, or In order to win the favor of the chief executive, almost everyone in the huge Taiyuan City took action spontaneously to find the traces of the Lu family and the Miao family.

In just two days, people from the Miao family and the Lu family were reported one by one or searched out by the people sent by the imperial court.

By the third day, only Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng were not arrested, and the other heads were also arrested.

On this day, at the entrance of the yamen, a woman walked to the yamen with a flustered face, and said to the yamen guarding the gate: "Official master, the women of the people... The women of the people came to report the whereabouts of the head of the Miao family and Miao Yuan."

The yamen guarding the gate couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, with a look of surprise on his face, looked at the woman and said, "Do you really know Miao Yuan's whereabouts?"

The woman looked nervous, nodded and said, "The women know!"

The yamen said with great joy: "You come with me!"

Who didn't know that Chu Yi offered a reward for the whereabouts of the Miao family, Lu family and others, especially Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng who offered the highest reward.

Anyone who reports the whereabouts of the two and successfully captures them will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!

As for the other patriarchs and their immediate family members, they all have their own rewards.

In the past few days, there have been tens of thousands of taels of silver rewards alone. It is precisely because of this that the people in Taiyuan City have increased trust in the credibility of the government. The direct consequence is that apart from Lu Zheng and Miao Except for a few people, everyone else was arrested.

Now there is news about Miao Yuan, as long as he can successfully capture Miao Yuan, the yamen will be rewarded, so he is very excited to take the woman into the yamen.

There are many things in the city, big and small, and it is impossible for Chu Yi to transfer officials from the imperial court for a while, so he can only select a few officials with good official voices from the original officials in the city to barely support the situation of Taiyuan City.

Zhang Yu, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, was only a petty official. This petty official did not succumb to the Tartars. After the Tartars entered the city, he hid himself, but he was bigger than those who joined the Tartars. Most officials are much stronger.

In addition, this little official's official voice and ability are not bad on weekdays, so he was suddenly appointed by Chu Yi as the prefect of Taiyuan from a small official.

Zhang Yu is dealing with many things in the city at the moment. After all, after the scourge of the Tartars, there are many large and small affairs in Taiyuan City. Besides arranging a few officials, Chu Yi does not ask about the big and small things in Taiyuan City. It was handed over to Zhang Yu and others for disposal.

"Master, master, there is news about Miao Yuan, there is news about Miao Yuan!"

Zhang Yu, who was sitting there handling government affairs, couldn't help but get up suddenly. If you want to say who is the most hated person in Taiyuan City, it must be Miao Yuan.

It was led by Miao Yuan, several big families in the city colluded with the Tatars, opened the city gate privately, and welcomed the Tatars into the city.

Especially the defenders stationed in Taiyuan City, there are tens of thousands of defenders, of which about [-] or [-] are from Taiyuan. They were all slaughtered by the Tatars.

While everyone hated the Tatars, they also counted the sins of the Tatars on the Miao family and other families.

In addition, the Miao family and others have helped the Tatars and directly harmed too many people. It is conceivable to imagine how much everyone hates the Miao family.

But there has been no news from Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng. It has been a few days. If they can't be found, it will be a pity after all.

Zhang Yu, who stood up suddenly, looked at the servant and said, "Where is Miao Yuan? Whoever provided the clues will be rewarded by this official!"

If he can win Miao Yuan, then his acting prefect will naturally leave a deep impression on the chief executive Chu Yi. Whether he can sit down in the seat of the prefect, the chief executive Chu Yi's attitude is the most Pivotal.

Soon the woman was brought in, and she saw her kneeling on the ground and facing Zhang Yu and said, "Master Qingtian is on top, please ask him to save the family!"

Zhang Yu stepped forward and said, "This lady quickly get up, do you really know Miao Yuan's whereabouts?"

This woman is Chen Kan's wife. She took the opportunity to buy rice and noodles, and came directly to the government to report on Miao Yuan according to Chen Kan's instructions. At this moment, listening to Zhang Yu's inquiries, she quickly followed Chen Kan's instructions with trepidation. After said it again.

Even their Chen family was the servant of the Miao family.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but look full of surprises. As long as he could catch Miao Yuan, as for the relationship between the Chen family and the Miao family, to be honest, Zhang Yu really didn't care.

If the Chen family is loyal to the Miao family, then in order to avoid future troubles, Zhang Yu may take the opportunity to arrest the Chen family, but the Chen family is obviously unwilling to take the Miao family's sinking ship, and even take the initiative to report Miao Yuan, so Zhang Yu did not intend to do anything to the Chen family, but would reward the Chen family.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu immediately said: "I will send someone to invite General Sun to come, and say that this official has an important business to discuss."

It goes without saying that General Sun in Zhang Yu's mouth is Sun Qiu. Because of his background, Sun Qiu naturally has the same position as Zhang Yu.

So Zhang Yu instinctively thought of Sun Qiu, not Xu Tianzuo, who was born in a noble family.

It didn't take long for Sun Qiu to enter the yamen, and when he saw Zhang Yu, Sun Qiu didn't rely on his identity to be rude, but cupped his hands at Zhang Yu and said, "The magistrate called Sun to come, could it be that there is someone there? Can the whereabouts of that thief Miao Yuan be found?"

Sun Qiu was just joking with Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "So General Sun is so well-informed!"

Sun Qiu couldn't help but stare at Zhang Yu in surprise, "What, is there really news about Miao Yuan?"

Zhang Yu pointed to the woman and said, "Miao Yuan is hiding in the cellar of your house, but his father-in-law and son are in Miao Yuan's hands, so this official invited the general to come, hoping that the general can find a way to capture Miao Yuan. And as much as possible to ensure the safety of his family!"

With a gleam in his eyes, Sun Qiu laughed and said: "That's what it should be. This general will go out in person and do everything in his power to ensure the safety of the hostages."

Soon a group of men and horses appeared outside the yard of the Chen family. With a squeak, Sun Qiu entered the yard with a dozen elite men. Surrounded by the group.

Chen Kan, who had always been uneasy in his heart, seemed very uneasy after arranging his wife to go to the government to report.

Fortunately, Miao Yuan and the others thought they had seized the lifeline of the Chen family, but they never thought that he was self-defeating and stimulated Chen Zhong and his son.

When Chen Zhong pushed Chen Kan to leave, he pinched Chen Kan, implying that Chen Kan would find a way to sue Miao Yuan.

However, Chen Zhong deliberately stayed with Miao Yuan and the others, which made Miao Yuan and the others more at ease.

I am afraid that Miao Yuan never dreamed that Chen Kan would choose to betray his whereabouts even when his father and son fell into his hands.

If Miao Yuan didn't touch Chen Zhong's grandson, even if the Chen family wanted to report it, it might not be so fast, but Miao Yuan caught Chen Zhong's grandson, but it stimulated the Chen family's father and son.
