Chapter 1606： Visit Chen Dacheng

Chapter 1606 Visiting Chen Dacheng

"I don't know if Zhaozhi County is flawed. Let me visit Chen Dacheng, the patriarch of the Chen clan. How about persuading him to help me recruit soldiers?" Zhu Pingan sent an invitation to Zhaozhi County.

Zhao Zhixian is the parent official of Yiwu, accompanied by Zhao Zhixian, it should be easier to do Chen Dacheng's ideological work.

Zhu Pingan thinks so.

"Your Excellency has an invitation, the lower officials should be duty-bound, but" Zhao Zhixian said hesitantly.

"Oh, that's right, Zhaozhi County just said that there is a simple case in the afternoon. Then it depends on the time of Zhaozhi County. After Zhaozhi County finishes the trial, it will not be too late for us to visit Chen Dacheng again. We just go to buy some meeting gifts first. , It’s always ugly to go to visit people with empty hands.” Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said softly.

"My lord, it's not a case. This case is simple, so it's okay to hand it over to Wang Xiancheng." Zhao Zhixian shook his head.

"Oh, why is that?" Zhu Pingan asked puzzled.

It's just visiting Chen Dacheng with me, and it's not something embarrassing. Why is Zhao Zhixian so evasive?

Zhu Ping'an was puzzled by this.

"Oh, let's be honest, my lord, Chen Dacheng has some prejudices against my subordinates. I am afraid that if I go to visit him with my lord, not only will I not be able to help my lord, but it will ruin my affairs." Zhao Zhixian sighed, with a wry smile on his face. Said.

Oh, so that’s the case, no wonder Zhao Zhixian is so evasive, it turns out that Zhao Zhixian and Chen Dacheng have a bad relationship, Chen Dacheng has a prejudice against Zhao Zhixian, but I don’t know if there is any misunderstanding. Zhu Pingan's two days in Yiwu can be regarded as an open and unannounced visit. Zhaozhi County's official reputation among the people is actually not bad. Even compared with his corrupt and corrupt predecessor, the common people are quite satisfied with Zhaozhi County.

Zhao Zhixian talked about this, so Zhu Ping'an no longer insisted, just like what Zhao Zhixian said, if Chen Dacheng had a prejudice against Zhao Zhixian, Zhao Zhixian's following would be more than a success than a failure.

"In this case, then the magistrate of Zhao will not go, and I will visit Chen Dacheng." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

"I'm ashamed of failing to share my worries with the adults." Zhao Zhixian handed over his hands and confessed.

"Zhaozhi county is serious. Zhao Zhixian can help me analyze the reason and find a solution. It has already helped me a lot."

Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

After learning more about the Chen family and Chen Dacheng from Zhaozhi County, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao and others to visit Chen Dacheng.

On the way, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao and others to buy some meeting gifts, which were not expensive, but they were considered generous gifts. There were tea, wine, pastries, and silk cloth.

"My lord, you are a fourth-rank official. You have already given him great face by visiting a small patriarch. Why give him gifts?"

On the way, Liu Dadao said indignantly that Chen Dacheng had already made a big mistake if he dared to stop the young master from recruiting soldiers. He is a little patriarch, what a face to give him, why should he give him a gift.

"Hehe, Da Dao, it's our custom to reciprocate courtesy. It's a shame to be empty-handed when you visit someone, and now we have something to ask for." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and patted Liu Dadao on the shoulder.

Chen Dacheng lives in Beilei Village, Yiwu. Beilei Village is not far from Yiwu County. Zhu Pingan and his party rode horses to reach Beilei Village in less than half an hour.

Beilei Village is a large village with a radius of three miles and a population of nearly 1,000 people. Chen Dacheng is the patriarch of the surname Chen and the village official of Beilei Village. When he inquired in Beilei Village, he found out the location of Chen Dacheng's family.

The villagers of Beilei Village saw that Zhu Ping'an was well dressed, and that Liu Dadao and others were carrying gifts. It seemed that they had good intentions. The patriarch had a lot of friends. This person might be a friend the patriarch made in other places, so he didn't hide it, and offered to replace it for him. Zhu Ping'an and his party lead the way.

Chen Dacheng's house is not small, it is bigger than Zhu's old house, with brick and wood structure, it is considered a better house in Beilei Village.

"Patriarch, patriarch, someone is looking for you." The villagers entered Chen Dacheng's house and shouted loudly.

"Oh, I wonder which friend is here?"

A thick voice came from the room, and then a thick-backed man in his thirties came out from the room. His steps were steady, his eyes were as bright as the morning stars, and his tendons were full of explosive power.

"I've seen patriarch Chen, please forgive me for coming uninvited." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to Chen Dacheng with a smile.

"Where is there, oh, this friend and the three brothers behind, you all look tense, Chen seems to have never met with them, I don't know how many of them came to find Chen today, what is the so-called Huh?" Chen Dacheng saw Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao, etc., and realized that he didn't recognize any of them, so he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and asked while clasping his fists in return.

Then, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer, Chen Dacheng continued, "Thanks to a few friends who think highly of me, Mr. Chen. If you encounter any difficulties, please speak up. As long as you can, whether it is money or manpower, I, Mr. Chen, will definitely Do what you can to help."

This Chen Dacheng is really like the rumors, he is anxious for justice, donates money, and is willing to help others. He feels a bit like "timely rain" Song Jiang.

"Thank you, Patriarch Chen. I am really in trouble, and I want to ask Patriarch Chen for help." Zhu Pingan first thanked Chen Dacheng, and then said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't know what difficulties my friend encountered, what can I, Chen, do?" Chen Dacheng asked curiously.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhu Ping'an, the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecutor's Department. I have been ordered to arrest the Zhejiang militia by the order of the emperor. Yesterday, the Governor-General Zhang Jing and I had a recruitment quota of 1,200 people. I have heard about Yiwu heroes for a long time. Daming, I came to Gui County to recruit soldiers to help eradicate the Japanese pirates and bring peace to the people in the south of the Yangtze River," Zhu Ping'an arched his hands slightly, and said slowly, he took off his waist badge, and handed it to Chen Dacheng with both hands for Chen Dacheng Check the authenticity of the identity.

"What? The deputy envoy of Zhejiang Prosecutor's Office? He turned out to be an official. What is he doing here?!"

"It's him, the lord who came to our county to recruit soldiers. The patriarch didn't let us enlist in the army. He came to the patriarch's house. Did he come to ask our patriarch Xingshi for his crimes?"

"He dares, the patriarch is right, their government is corrupt and incompetent, untrustworthy, and the guards have become so bad, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, bullying and bullying our common people, we can make a living. When we see Japanese pirates, they run faster than rabbits. If we join the army, If you don't die, you will be looked down upon and become a prostitute."

The good people in the yard, after hearing Zhu Pingan's self-introduction, couldn't help buzzing and whispering to each other.
