Dominate the Country

At this time, Chen Ming and his party, who were only five miles away from the county town, were slowly moving towards Lushan County. They set out early in the morning, and now the sun has set, and they haven't seen the gate of the county town yet. You can imagine how slow they are.

But in Chen Ming's words, is speed important to have your own baby? Compared with the son/daughter in Li Xiaomei's belly, is speed important? It doesn't matter.

The carriage was covered with thick mattresses, and felt carpets were hung all around the walls. The four corners of the retractable and foldable small table were also covered. This carriage was specially made by the Chen family for Li Xiaomei, and many "advanced ideas" from Chen Ming were added to it. But he really didn't know how to build a steering differential for a four-wheeled carriage. Chen Ming knew that the thing was a frame for the front two wheels and a frame for the rear two wheels, and there was a vertical shaft in the middle, but he only knew so much.

Therefore, the four-wheeled carriage is still a difficult problem to be solved for the current Chen family. The carriage equipped by the Chen family for Li Xiaomei is still two-wheeled, but it is pulled by two horses, so it is wider and larger.

At this time, Chen Ming had no idea that his father had been imprisoned, nor did he know that his cheap mother was about to collapse. He was hugging his wife with a big belly and talking and laughing in the carriage. Chang Rui's performance in the past one or two months was too successful. Chen Ming had a deep prejudice and vigilance against him at first, but now it's all gone.

People, they forget their principles when they see profit!

Chen Ming is a person who will rebel in the future. Later generations will come to him with so much malice towards the Qing Dynasty and so much disdain and contempt for the Eight Banners children. After Chang Rui showed an attitude of "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", after Chang Rui regarded his cheap father as a confidant, when the interests of the Chen family were not only not harmed at all, but also further strengthened, Chen Ming's vigilance and prejudice against Chang Rui in his mind avalanche. So much so that at this time, he seemed to regard Chang Rui as a non-threatening existence.

So, people really forget their principles when they see benefits, and Chen Ming's moral standards are really terrible.

Chen Ming's laughter lasted until he met Lao Liu who was riding a horse. His cheap father was arrested! ! !

A feeling of emptiness similar to the collapse of the sky and a sense of security that was not at all made Chen Ming's heart empty at this moment. Then there was endless regret. How could he be assured of Chang Rui? Why did he have the idea of ​​treating this son of the Eight Banners as his own?

He punched the carriage like a vent, his skin was torn, and blood was printed on the carriage.

Lao Liu didn't know some of the situations. Why was Chen Hui arrested? Was he the only one arrested, or was the whole group arrested? Who did it? It couldn't be Chang Rui who did it alone. After all, he came to Lushan for a short time and just stood up, but he hadn't established a foundation yet. If it was just Chang Rui, he would take action, and the news might not be kept.

"I'm going into the city, you guys go back to Tumenji immediately. Liu Wu, you go back quickly to report the news, and then go to Xiaonangou to greet your brother. Keep your eyes open, whoever wants to die, let him die."

Chen Ming was not going to take either Chen Dawei or Huang Zicong back. It's true that the two of them are good at fighting, but there are hundreds of yamen runners and constables in the county, how can two people play a role?

"Liu Wu, remember to inform Chen Gang when you go back. He is a scholar after all."

With Chen Ming's current status, without his father, he can't even see Chang Rui. But Chen Gang can, Chen Gang at least has a reputation.

"Husband..." Li Xiaomei's tears fell.

"Don't worry. No matter how big the event is, it can't crush our Chen family." Chen Ming's mind was very clear. He didn't understand why Chang Rui pointed the finger at the Chen family, but the current strength of the Chen family, with the strength of Lushan County, really couldn't suppress the Chen family. But in that case, the Chen family can only gallop on the road of rebellion.

Chen Ming certainly doesn't want to rebel now. The Chen family hasn't made enough money yet, and the material reserves have not reached his psychological bottom line. Rebelling now is like looking for death.

He can also not go to Lushan County. Gao's intention is to let him return to Tumenji as soon as possible. But his father was arrested. How can a son run back to his hometown with his tail between his legs? Is that still a son?

Chen Ming doesn't know what's going on now, but he has a good habit after he is clear-headed. If he wants to do something bad, he will consider it from the worst angle. Chen Erbao is still in Tumenji now. There is no need to worry about the safety there. There is no need to rush to send his wife to Xiaonangou or even farther.

Chen Ming must go to the county town to find out some things now.

If Chang Rui wants to eat up the Chen family, confiscating the family property is not the best way. The best and most profitable way is to squeeze out the cash of the Chen family bit by bit. He should not be in danger in the short term if he returns to the city. On the contrary, his appearance can also make Chang Rui feel relieved.

Because this is the most normal reaction of people.

The Chen family made their fortune by working hard in the county government office with their main vein, even though the Chen family's business has now spread throughout western Henan. The name of bone china is not only well-known in Henan, but also began to appear in the Hubei market. But the foundation of the Chen family still lies in Chen Hui! Now that Chen Hui has suddenly gotten into trouble, the Chen family must of course do their best to rescue him. As a son, Chen Ming returned to the county town at this time, asked around, and even made repeated tributes to Chang Rui. This is the most normal way to deal with it. If Chen Ming did not go to the county town, but ran back to Tumen Market instead, it would not only ruin his reputation - he would probably be labeled as "unfilial", and it would also make Chang Rui wary and turn his attention to Tumen Market too early!

When Chen Ming ran back to Tumen Market at this time, no one would think that Chen Ming was going to retreat to Tumen Market obediently and wait for death. They would only think that Chen Ming was preparing to mobilize all the power of the Chen family to rescue people or to cause trouble. In the past, if the county government was determined to deal with a powerful family, it was not without encountering crazy people.

In the end, the county magistrate ate mutton, but got into trouble. And now the Chen family is definitely one of the top five powerful families in Lushan County.

In the county government, Chang Rui was relieved after receiving the news that Chen Ming had entered the city. After all, he had just taken office. If something big happened just after taking office, it would also affect his future path. "Haha, Li Dianshi is relieved now? Chen Ming is a rich and noble son. How dare he burn his boats unless it is absolutely necessary?"

"This county just arrested Chen Hui. There was no lobby and no judgment. How big a thing did Chen Hui commit that made the Chen family think there was no hope at all?"

Chang Rui had read Chen Hui's files. To be honest, Chen Hui was very measured. He had been protecting the Chen family from wind and rain for more than ten years, and had never made a big mistake. He did things cleanly and properly. Even though Jiang Yang is older than Chen Hui and has worked in the government office longer than Chen Hui, his ability and means of doing things are far inferior to Chen Hui's.
