Chapter 1169 The Emperor Appears
Nanxun Town is under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture. Therefore, it is not far from Huzhou Prefecture. Regarding the situation in Nanxun Town, a fast horse flew to a wealthy mansion.
The owner of this house is either a high-status official or a businessman who has paid a lot of illegal money. This situation is common in Jiangnan.
The owner of the house is a middle-aged man. He seems to be a scholar, but there is a hint of sinisterness in the corner of his eyes. It seems that he is not an easy person to talk to. After hearing the report, he smiled sinisterly: "A small township leader suddenly encounters the emperor's favor, and he doesn't know how much he weighs. This time, I want to let you know what a profound foundation is!" There are some things that cannot be done without the emperor's favor, just because you think you can do whatever you want!"
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment, then called his confidant butler and whispered: "Go and act as planned!"
At this time, Chen Youming had not slept all night and his eyes were bloodshot. I searched all night, both in and outside the town, but all the two living people, one big and one small, disappeared. At this time, he had realized that someone was probably coming for him.
Although he was still reluctantly handling official duties, he was obviously absent-minded. He actually understood that Nanxun Town was a huge piece of fat. It's not like no one had been thinking about him before. They had contacted him overtly and covertly, hoping to get benefits from Nanxun Town. But he refused all these things. I originally thought that with my relationship with the emperor, it didn't matter even if I refused, no one could touch me.
Unexpectedly, those people did not come to touch me, but they did come to attack their own family members! My son, my only precious son, if there is an accident...
Chen Youming thought this, but he didn't dare to think any more.
In the afternoon, the prefect of Huzhou Prefecture personally sent someone to investigate the matter, and even wanted to dispatch the elite head catchers in the prefecture to help him investigate. This kind of kindness is impossible for other township heads. Even the county magistrate, let alone the township head, is impossible.
In response, Chen Youming declined temporarily. Before he became the mayor of the township, he was a traveling man, so he naturally had some experience. Those people kidnapped their own sons, there must be something behind them. If the police were to get involved too deeply, it would probably make it difficult for them to get off the ground.
Sure enough, as he expected, when it got dark, someone threw a stone wrapped in paper through the wall to his house.
In the inner courtyard, Chen Youming's wife had already burst into tears and said to Chen Youming: "Master, what can we do about this? Who are these people? Let us not make it public anymore, and let us tell the outside world that it is a misunderstanding. My son just went to the countryside to play. If he doesn't listen to them, he will send...Zhong'er's finger here! Poor Zhong'er, he is so young and is so frightened. What if he still has missing fingers? What to do?"
After hearing this, Chen Youming sighed and said: "No matter who they are, since we don't have any clues at the moment, we can only do what they say."
After he finished speaking, he saw that his wife and daughter were still crying, and comforted him: "Those people must have a purpose, and they should not do anything to Zhong'er for the time being!"
"But... but Master... what if they force you to do something that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty?" His wife was obviously not stupid and said worriedly, "Otherwise, why would they kidnap Zhong'er?"
She knew in her heart that her husband had received favor from the emperor, so she adhered to her principles and would never let down the holy will. But now, others are using their most precious son to threaten him.
Chen Youming listened and was silent for a while. How could he not know this? It's just that... he originally thought that he would only maintain the emperor's favor in this life and have nothing else to care about. But when he thinks of his son, his heart aches.
"Let's see, let's do what they ask first!" Chen Youming sighed and said slowly.
His wife was silent after hearing this. Suddenly, she spoke again: "You always say that Zhong'er is lucky and blessed in this life. But...but such things have happened to him. Thinking that he is now being raped by those bad people." I am tied up somewhere, and I don’t know if I have eaten or drank water. My heart... my heart is very..."
Before he could finish speaking, the tears couldn't stop falling.
Chen Youming didn't want to see his wife like this, so he went out to arrange things.
None of them knew that Chen Jingzhong was happily hiding with the two concubines at this time.
"Have you hidden it? I'm here to find him!" Concubine Tian looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a smile on her face and asked at the same time.
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head. Bullying children is nothing.
Sure enough, Chen Jingzhong had no idea at all. He hid behind the curtain, exposed his feet, and responded: "Hide it!"
Concubine Tian heard the sound and discovered it at a glance. But she pretended to be looking elsewhere, and finally found Chen Jingzhong.
On the other hand, when Chen Jingzhong went to look for him, Hai Lanzhu made trouble and secretly gave the little kid advice.
In a rare warm moment, Emperor Chongzhen watched them play for a while before going to the chat group to handle government affairs.
A little later, Liu Xingzuo reported the situation.
After pondering for a moment, he gave the instructions.
A day actually passes very quickly, but for Chen Youming's family, it really feels like a year.
After doing what the other party asked, Nanxun Town returned to peace. Most people thought that what happened to Chen Xiang's family was just a false alarm, but those who were interested could see something unusual. For example, Chen Youming, uncharacteristically, went home early before it got dark.
When he arrived home, he found his wife kneeling in front of the wing where the emperor used to live.
Seeing him coming back, his wife's eyes were a little swollen and she said, "I wonder how Zhong'er is doing? I hope the emperor will be merciful and save Zhong'er!"
Chen Youming was a little speechless and couldn't help but said: "The Emperor is not Guanyin. You are worshiping here. The Emperor is far away in the capital. How can you know?"
"Last time, our family was worried about by the old patriarch and was about to be destroyed. But could you have imagined that the emperor, who is far away in the capital, would come to our house to help us tide over such a crisis?" His wife's eyes were filled with hope. He said, "Maybe, this time, we encounter such a dangerous thing again, maybe the emperor will appear and help our family overcome this difficulty!"
"Mom is right, my brother will be fine." The little girl kneeling next to her mother was quite sensible and immediately nodded in agreement, "The emperor is like a purple star in the sky, and he will definitely protect his brother."
"Okay!" Although Chen Youming replied like this, he didn't believe it in his heart. Only women would have such thoughts and really think that the emperor is omnipotent!
His wife can do whatever she wants, and he has no intention of defending the matter. In fact, he was very worried at this time. He actually knew in his heart that he was worthy of being remembered by others. It was definitely for the huge benefit of Nanxun Town to use such despicable means to secretly force him to submit.
It's just helpless that he has no power in the world, and even his helpers are just some clan members. It's okay to manage Nanxun Town, but once you leave Nanxun Town, there's really nothing you can do.
In his worries, as expected, the contact from those gangsters again was what he was worried about, and it was a lion that wanted to take a big bite from the huge lake silk cake in Nanxun Town. .
That night, Chen Youming and his wife suffered from insomnia again.
If you agree to them, you will be sorry for the emperor and let down the holy grace. But if he doesn't agree to them, his precious son will be ripped apart by them. For Chen Youming and his wife, they are really in a dilemma.
"Master, what should we do about this?" Chen Youming's wife's voice was a little hoarse, "I have to reply tomorrow, my poor loyal son! Woo hoo..."
"Alas!" Chen Youming sighed. What we are today is all thanks to the emperor's grace. But what about his own son? The sound, appearance, and smile make my heart feel like a knife when I think about it.
Chen Youming's wife cried softly for a while, and suddenly murmured to herself: "The Emperor is not omnipotent! My loyal son, you still say that he is blessed, but alas, he really has a miserable life!"
"..." With the facts before his eyes, Chen Youming remained silent.
After another sleepless night, Chen Youming was restless and extremely anxious. The time set is before noon. If he didn't hang up the signal, his son's finger would be sent to him.
At this moment, the porter suddenly came to report in a hurry: "Sir, there is a stranger outside the door asking to see him. He said that if you see him, you will know who he is."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youming and his wife couldn't help being shocked. They looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces. Those people couldn't wait so much that they even sent people to the door to urge them. It seems that they are really convinced?
No matter what, Chen Youming was going to see his servant. Unexpectedly, his wife also insisted on going and said to him: "Master, I am worried about Zhong'er. I must ask him clearly in person. She doesn't know my miserable life." How is your loyal son doing now?"
Chen Youming had no choice but to agree.
In the front living room, neither husband nor wife took a seat. They stood there and watched the concierge introduce a tall man wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face.
Seeing this, the couple looked at each other. Everyone understands what the other person means. Looking at his body shape, you can tell that he is a capable fighter, a gangster, and a thief without a doubt!
"You two, you're welcome!" As he spoke, the visitor took off his hat and revealed his true face, with a smile on his face.
After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Chen Youming and his wife were both shocked, their mouths opened wide, and they were stunned.
"What, you don't know me?"
Hearing this question with a smile, Chen Youming was brought back to his senses, and he immediately said: "Referring to... Sir Commander, you... why are you here?"
The visitor was Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He accompanied Emperor Chongzhen on a private visit incognito last time and stayed at his house. Therefore, both Chen Youming and his wife knew him.
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course I will come with you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Youming and his wife were shocked again. Originally, they thought that Liu Xingzuo might have come here for business in the surrounding areas. After learning what happened on his side, he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the emperor came here again.
Seeing the stunned look of the couple, Liu Xingzuo actually felt emotional in his heart, God really blessed this couple. Every time something happened, he would be caught by the emperor. I really don’t know how many blessings it took to cultivate in several lifetimes, but they actually asked the Holy Master to help their family solve their problems. This is really unique!
Before the two of them came to their senses, Liu Xingzuo said: "The emperor was on a tour of the south incognito, so he wanted to come to Nanxun Town to have a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Nanxun Town, he was spotted by Concubine Tian, and someone kidnapped him. Your son. Now he has been rescued by the emperor and is being placed in a safe place..."
Hearing this, Chen Youming's wife showed an incredulous look. Regardless of the difference between men and women, and Liu Xingzuo's identity, she stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xingzuo's sleeve, and asked after her: "My son...how is my son?" are you OK?"
Seeing this situation, Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly, but he also understood the mood of being a mother, so he broke away from her hand without leaving a trace, and then said with a smile: "Your son is very good, and he is played with by two noble concubines. In this world, No child is so lucky!"
Hearing this, Chen Youming's wife suddenly felt her legs were weak and could no longer stand, so she bent down.
Fortunately, Chen Youming had quick hands and eyes and quickly held him up. But he saw his wife smiling and saying to him: "I just said, the emperor will bless our family. It's okay. As long as it's okay..."
Knowing that her son was fine, she felt relieved and felt that her body was already exhausted.
In fact, Chen Youming himself is similar. However, he still endured it, first confessed to Liu Xingzuo, helped his wife to the back room, and then came back. This time, as soon as I entered the house, I paid homage to Liu Xingzuo. The gratitude in my heart was beyond words.
After a while, Liu Xingzuo asked seriously: "I am asking a question according to His Majesty's order. Chen Youming listens!"
Nothing else, so naturally I asked about the relevant situation.
After Chen Youming reported the truth, he quickly emphasized and explained: "The official did not agree to them."
Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo smiled slightly and said: "No, you have to promise them. The emperor wants to see who extended the hand. Whatever they ask for, just do it."
With the emperor's will, there is no need to worry about such a big thing. Chen Youming naturally understands this. Any threats or excuses will be useless. Therefore, he immediately agreed.
Before Liu Xingzuo left, he told Chen Youming: "The emperor was afraid that you would be worried, so he asked me to tell you about this. You should know the appropriateness, play your role well, and pretend that your son is still in their hands."
Regarding this point, not to mention that Chen Youming had traveled a lot in the past. He had also been experienced as a township head for a long time. He naturally knew what to do, so he agreed again and again.
As soon as Liu Xingzuo left, Chen Youming immediately sent out the signal as agreed. He was also curious in his heart, who was the mastermind? It was so unlucky to meet the emperor in person!
