Chen Zizi's son was arrested. The news immediately made the people of Jinling feel dull.
"Chen Suo is a senior official in Peiping. His Highness has arrested his son. The fight against corruption is probably coming to an end."
"What else do you want until it's over? Isn't it enough to catch hundreds of people?"
"Yes! Those petty officials bowed their heads on the street recently. Yesterday they went to the grocery store to buy things and sleep in the trough! They didn't take advantage of me and accompanied me with a smiling face, which scared me to almost fall. It seems that your Highness's anti-corruption has achieved great results this time!"
“……”
The common people thought that the arrest of Chen Shengduo was the signal of the end of Zhu Zhanji's trip, but the officials knew that a bigger storm was coming!
"Does your father have contact with senior officials in Jinling?"
"No."
"Does your father have contact with senior officials in Jinling?"
"No..."
Chen Shengduo was asked repeatedly all morning, and the answer was still the same.
But the housekeeper of the Chen family didn't get such good treatment. He was directly taken by means. The scream came to Chen Shengduo's ears from time to time, and he shook every time.
When the howl was interrupted, he was still shaking uncontrollably.
An Lun waved and kept asking the same question. The thirsty fan Zi got up and stepped back. Then an Lun sat opposite Chen Shengduo. The two sides were separated by a table, but they were very different.
"Our family wants to do it, Chen Shengduo. Don't think we dare not touch you, but just want to... If you are smart, tell us honestly, otherwise after the situation is settled, our family will let you know what death is better than living!"
Chen Shengduo shook his head and said in fear, "father-in-law, the small ones really don't know. Every sentence is the truth. If there are lies, the small ones will die without complaint."
Anlun looked at him. Just when Chen Shengduo thought he believed his words, Anlun smiled like a night owl.
"Ho ho ho! I'm laughing to death, I'm laughing to death!"
Anlun smiled for a long time, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "it's funny that someone swears to win the trust of our family with a curse?"
No one answered. Anlun didn't think he was disobedient and sighed: "we once saw a man swear. He vowed that if he did that, he would steal women and men, but he did it. Do you know what happened to him in the end?"
Chen Shengduo said without hesitation, "I think the man has been unlucky for the whole family?"
"Ho ho ho!"
Anlun laughed again. He couldn't breathe. A fan was worried and came up to beat his back.
Anlun nodded, his chest heaved sharply and said, "that man... Ho ho ho ho! That man is now promoted, ho ho ho ho! His son also won the Jinshi examination, ho ho ho ho..."
The laughter no longer seeps into people, but the two fans in the room look at each other and feel cold.
What else can the world rely on to maintain without the gods' punishment?
Moral constraints often need to rely on the ethereal gods to endorse, so that people can always be vigilant.
Aaron wiped his tears and got up, then stretched out his hand. Two fans were stunned. One of them reacted faster. He quickly handed over the whip and asked thoughtfully, "father-in-law, do you want to dip in salt water?"
Whip dipped in salt, that kind of pain is very difficult!
Anlun shook his head, took the whip, smiled and said to Chen Shengduo, who was tied to the wooden column with a chair: "this is the first time in our family. It's not because of that fire. You're lucky!"
"Pa!"
"Ah..."
"Pa!"
"Ah..."
The sound of the whip beating the human body, the scream of people, the gasp of Anlun... Gradually filled the room.
……
In the evening, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji had a barbecue by the pool. The smoke filled the room and the incense overflowed, but there was some suspicion of cooking a crane and burning a piano.
One bite of barbecue, one bite of wine, the chilly evening wind was driven away by the heat of the fire and food, and the two sweated on their foreheads.
"This pepper is good!"
Zhu Zhanji ate a piece of barbecue, was spicy and drank a mouthful of wine. Then he said comfortably, "brother Dehua, it won't be long before we come back to Beijing."
Fang Xing blinked with hot eyes and suddenly sighed: "today, a scientific child wants to see me, but I'm worried about whether he will be related to Chen Suo's case, so I checked it. Just now Jia Quan gave the news that it has nothing to do with it. Would you like to see him?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and then took a bunch of roast mutton.
Jia Quan immediately went to call someone. Fang woke up and saw that Zhu Zhanji picked a string of fat and thin mutton, so he smiled and said, "you can eat it, but you'd better eat less fat, otherwise it will be difficult in the future."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned and immediately remembered Fang Xing's judgment of his body before waking up, so he handed Fang Xing the string of mutton without hesitation.
Fang woke up and said with a smile, "you're trying to murder me!"
"You are thin."
"Thin fart! If I hadn't gone to Jiangyin, I would have a small stomach."
The two smiled happily and waited until Jia Quan came with a young man. Zhu Zhanji picked up a towel to wipe his hands and looked at the people.
With a respectful look on his face, the visitor walked forward and said, "little Yang Tiantian has seen your highness and uncle."
"Are you Yang Tian?"
Fang woke up from Yang Tiantian's letter to Zhu Zhanji, so he remembered it at once.
Yang Tian nodded and said, "it's small."
Zhu Zhanji asked with great interest, "how do you feel about being a petty official in Shangyuan county?"
Yang Tiantian said restrained: "Your Highness, after doing this for a long time, I feel... When the upper official doesn't act, the petty officials stretch out their hands everywhere. If it weren't for Jinling, it's estimated that the people would suffer."
This is the truth. Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly and asked, "are you disappointed?"
Yang Tiantian said blankly, "well, yes, your highness, I was disappointed. I wanted to do things, but I was..."
Then he said, "but your highness, there are two small officials in Shangyuan County who have also studied science. Now the small three often get together to discuss the difficulties they encounter and explore some problems in knowledge."
Hey!
Fang Xing frowned and said, "don't knot... It's just that science has a small potential. If you don't stick together again, it will be destroyed sooner or later."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "that's right. At present, science is just scattered troops and wandering bravery. If we don't hold a group, it is very likely to be broken by one blow."
Then Zhu Zhanji asked about some local things in detail, and Yang Tiantian said what he knew. Only Fang woke up and slowly ate barbecue and drank wine.
Xin Laoqi was not so relaxed. He took people to set up secret sentries in the big house.
"Seven elder brothers, no one dares to come here?"
Xiaodao thinks there are more than 100 scouts and hundreds of families here, as well as Zhu Zhanji's bodyguards. Who dares to take risks?
Xin Laoqi said in a deep voice, "Chen Shengduo has entered here. If someone is guilty and is not sure that he will take risks to kill his mouth, we'd better be careful."
Fang Wu nodded and said, "it's always good to be careful. There are five hundred cavalry of Sun Yue in the city. They can only do it with small-scale hands..."
"Ah..."
When a sharp scream came, Xin Laoqi shook his head and said, "what's the name of Anlun? Take a break and fight for a while. It's a problem!"
Fang Wu's face was strange and said, "that Anlun seems to like his hands, and he likes whipping best. It is said that he can't get tired of it."
"Shit!"
Fang Xing looked equally strange.
