Chapter 169: Sweet dates and big sticks

After returning from Chen Ji's residence, Deng Long went to the courtyard to practice swords boredly. Chen Ao saw Deng Long's practice swords and found it boring. He thought that the martial arts of this era would be as beautiful as the film and television works of later generations. Unexpectedly, after watching it, he realized that the so-called swordsmanship was not at all elegant, and he was completely distracted and went back to his room to write the scriptures.

At noon, halfway through the article, he heard the crowds of people outside the house. Deng Long rushed in and said, "Young Master, you have the will. The official issued the order and was right at the door."

Another will?

Chen Ao threw his pen and was stunned for a moment. This imperial edict is so diligent. Why is it like sending a text message? Is there any end to it? What's the matter with the official family? I told me yesterday. What's so mysterious?

He already had a faint fear of the imperial edict. No one would be happy about this kind of thing that he would be scolded by others and even greet him with a smile.

Deng Long urged: "Young Master Chen, go and receive the order quickly, you can't delay it."

Chen Ao didn't think much about it, and took Deng Long and walked quickly to the gate. It was still open to the middle door, setting up incense table, Madam, Young Master, Miss, and the servants of the whole family had been waiting for a long time. Zhou Heng didn't know where he went crazy these days. Maybe he had just returned. When he saw Chen Ao from afar, he shouted: "Cousin, hurry up, eunuch...ah, no, the order is coming."

The word eunuch was said by Chen Ao, who was ashamed. Fortunately, in this era, the name of eunuch was not derogatory, and even had the meaning of respectful title, representing the title of official title in the palace. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to hear it.

Before the eunuch who announced the eunuch had entered the mansion, Chen Ao ran over, and his wife was still dressed as a wife. She said to Chen Ao with concern: "Why are you here again? Have you done something and got into trouble with the government?"

Chen Ao smiled bitterly: "Auntie, what do I do with the government? I don't have the courage to have this heart."

Zhou Heng was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and said, "Wow, mom, he actually has this heart."

Zhou Ruo twisted Zhou Heng and said, "Why are you calling me so loud?" Then he looked around vigilantly, and raised his pretty face and said, "Are you afraid that others will not hear it?"

After being killed by my sister's deathly scissors, Zhou Heng became honest all of a sudden. It was Deng Long who saw Chen Ao behind him and said, "Who is he?"

Deng Long smiled and crossed his hands at everyone: "I am Deng Long, the commander in front of the hall, and he was ordered to protect Mr. Chen's safety."

Chen Ao was speechless for a moment. He only now realized that Deng Long had actually sneaked in directly, and even his wife didn't know. This guy was not like an imperial guard and was careless, so he found some time to teach him a lesson.

The lady held Chen Ao's hand and said, "Since you have not caused trouble, you don't have to be afraid. With your uncle here, even if you are really wrong, you can take you to apologize."

As he was talking, Yang Jian had already stepped in and said with a stern face: "Chen Ao responded to the order."

"The system said: The Imperial College Supervisor's student Chen Ao.

I have been advised repeatedly but never repent. How can I be indulge in vain? Yesterday, when I beat the Prince Nipola at the state banquet, I was unforgivable. I still don’t know how to be self-respectful and self-reflective. I am tolerant. I am not tolerant. Even if I am ordered to remove the student Chennai..."

At first, they still cursed. Perhaps because the mansion was used to the imperial edicts to scold Chen Ao, they were all numb. However, the wife and Zhou Ruo frowned, while Zhou Heng was confused. But later, everyone was shocked. It turned out that Chen Ao had beaten Prince Ni Bora to the state banquet, which was a great deal.

The wife's face changed suddenly, but Zhou Ruo was thinking. Yesterday, Chen Ao mentioned this to her, but she just didn't believe it, but now she knew it was true. With a thought, could it be that my cousin really beat the Nibang Prince for herself? How can this be better?

Only Chen Ao was indignant. As expected, being with the king is like a tiger. It turns out that being an emperor can be so shameless. If I hadn't saved you yesterday, could this peace agreement be achieved? Can Prince Surya restrain himself?

When I heard it, everyone was ashamed of the face. It was absolutely not fun to go to the prison for the students.

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, his mind buzzed, and he couldn't react. If he said he was interested in this supervisor, he wouldn't care about it either, but if he said he was not interested, wouldn't he have been studying hard for the past six months be wasted?

While he was in a daze, Yang Jian had finished reciting the imperial edict, walked over with a smile, helped Chen Ao up, and said, "Chen Ao, the family asked you, are you convinced if you are in the imperial edict?"

Chen Ao gritted his teeth and bullied people too much. He didn't even say that he would repay his grudges, but he actually wanted to convince me. Although his temperament looked very gentle, he was not easy to mess with when he got angry. He said coldly: "I don't agree."

"Just not accept it." Yang Jian smiled and his face was as good as before. Looking at the angry Chen Ao, he sighed in his heart: "This brother Shen is really brave enough, but unfortunately he is a little impatient and needs to be tempered."

When the lady beside her heard Chen Ao say the word "disobedience", her face suddenly changed drastically and she gently shook Chen Ao's arms; and Zhou Ruo's face was as pale as paper, and her mind was blank.

Yang Jian said seriously: "The official said that if you don't agree, then you will take the exam one or two. If you get the answer correctly, you will still be your supervisor."

Chen Ao was speechless and immediately understood that he was going to hit a blow first and then give Tianzao. The emperor is really not a good person. Is there anyone who messes with people like this?

Chen Ao said angrily: "What are you taking the school exam?"

Yang Jian said: "The granary fire is in full swing, what can you tell me?"

Chen Ao said coldly: "What can you see? Didn't you say that Fang Layu bandits attack the grain warehouse?"

Yang Jian smiled strangely and said, "I'm wrong. Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry, the family is going back to report."

"Wait." Chen Ao quickly grabbed him, but knew that the emperor was not really a joke, and said, "Maybe there is another answer."

Yang Jian was not in a hurry to leave, but still smiled and said, "Please tell me, young master."

Chen Ao pondered: "At the emperor's feet, there are many imperial guards patrolling the streets. If there are three or four people raiding the grain warehouse, it makes sense. No matter how many people are, the danger will increase greatly. But as far as I know, the guards in this grain warehouse are as many as hundreds. Even if dozens of people raid, it is impossible to defeat the guards in the shortest time, set fires in arbitrary manner, and escape without leaving any clues."

"The students who can do this will never think of any other possibility except for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who are in charge of theft."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up and said, "Young Master continues, if it is an official of the Ministry of Revenue, why do they set fire? It is important to know that this prisoner must have benefits to do it. What are the benefits of burning the grain warehouse?"

Chen Ao continued to calmly say: "The end of the year is approaching. It is said that the Ministry of Revenue will check the accounts once every year before the annual closing. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat will take the lead and work with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to check the amount of grain stored in it. Eunuch Yang, I ask you, if the grain stored in this grain warehouse has been greedy for a long time, what should I do if the evidence is to be erased?"

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean there is actually no food in this grain warehouse, and these foods have long been greedy?"

Chen Ao nodded and said seriously: "Maybe for some people, this fire is burning well. I don't know how many people are happy about this fire. Tonight, many people must have slept very sweetly!"

Yang Jianhe nodded and smiled brightly, "Young Master's words were amazing, but the analysis was very reasonable. As for this answer, I need to report back to the official family immediately and see how he dealt with it." As he said that, he patted Chen Ao's back of his hand and comforted him, "Young Master Chen, don't worry, it seems that there will be an imperial edict soon."

Chen Ao smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of joking with Brother Yang. When I heard the word "The Imperial Issue", the students were frightened and unwilling to accept it."

This sentence is a bit rude, let alone Yang Jian to listen to it. Eunuch Yang is a big celebrity in front of the official family. If the message is passed into the official family, I don’t know what kind of punishment it will be.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, thinking that Chen Ao was crazy.

Chen Ao still kept smiling and showed some sincerity; in fact, among many people, only Chen Ao understood his intentions. Whether this sentence was big or small, but Yang Jian clearly had a little intention of winning over him. If he said this sentence to him, Yang Jian would not only not go to the official to report it, but instead made him trust him more.

If a person says such words out of his heart, it at least shows a kind of trust.

Yang Jian felt warm in his heart. He didn't understand the letter of fame handed over by Chen Ao. Everyone is smart, and the hearts of smart people are the same. He immediately said: "Don't worry, young master, the next one must be the order of kindness, and the family has gone."

Yang Jian rushed back and reported his life, and hurriedly took him away; only a group of stunned people from the Duke's Mansion were left behind. The wife's face was a little pale and looked worried. Chen Ao quickly helped her up and smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, as long as one day or as little as an hour, this prison student can't escape."

The lady nodded thoughtfully, as if she could hear that there was no malice in Yang Jian's words, and said, "Why did you beat Prince Ni Balak? I don't know anything about such a horrifying thing."

Zhou Ruo's eyes were red and said, "Mother, my cousin took action to protect me. The Nibang Prince proposed marriage to His Majesty and wanted to betroth him."

When the lady heard this, she was furious and said, "Where should such a person be beaten? Where is Nipola? If I marry my daughter there, will I still have to live in my life?" Seeing Zhou Ruolihua wearing rain, she went over to hold her hand and comfort her: "Don't blame yourself, we are all a family. Chen Ao protects you, even if you really lose this prison student, it's no big deal. With your father, everything will have room for maneuver."

Two hours later, it was getting late, and the family chatted in the hall for a while, quite a bit like the intention.

The lady was restless and always felt a little worried. Seeing that the Duke had not come back so late, she resented: "Every time something happens, people who always don't see him. I really don't know what he is busy with outside, don't even care about his family?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "The granary fire broke out, how could my uncle stand by and watch? This is a big deal, it is a business, and maybe he will come back the next moment."

The Duke of the State did not come back, but Yang Jian came again. The news of the imperial edict spread wildly and soon came over. Fortunately, all the ones that should be prepared were ready, so he asked someone to open the middle door. The group went to receive the edict again. Yang Jian stepped into the middle door, and stood in the darkness in the sky and said aloud: "The commander said: Chen Ao, the Imperial College Supervisor... and I will return to the position of supervising students and give another arrow..."
