Chapter 124 The Emperor Died

“Forget it”

Chen An looked at Chen Qi with deep meaning He glanced at it, and then said, “Just behead it.”

Murdering is no more than a nod to the head. Chen An is good at killing people, but he is not a sadist, and he must torture people to death.

Just killing people is enough.

As for the rest, it’s really unnecessary.

“Yes.”

Seeing that Chen An didn’t mean this, Chen Qi quickly nodded: “I’ll do it now”

“The execution ground before, after that It was also blocked for me.”

Chen An’s voice came immediately, sounding calm: “I don’t want bad news to come from you in the future.”

“Do you understand?”

“Understood, understand!”

Chen Qi quickly nodded, echoing: “Chen Li set up a private execution ground, really crime deserving ten thousand deaths, This execution ground should be sealed off and no one is allowed to use it!”

You’re changing quite fast!

All around people secretly complained in their hearts.

But Chen Qi obviously didn’t mind, with a smile on his face, as bright as he looked.

Looking at it like this, in order to please Chen An, he has taken great pains.

“Then it’s my father’s trouble.”

Chen An nods and is satisfied with Chen Qi’s attitude.

Chen Qi may be similar to Chen Li, both of whom are self-seeking.

This kind of person doesn’t seem to be very good, but it is quite easy to use.

In at least two or three days, he managed the entire Duke Chen house in order.

A batch of lists was sent quickly.

One is the property list of Duke Chen’s house, and the other is the list of subordinates who once had a good relationship with Chen Li, and even once took refuge in Chen Li.

Chen An just glanced at the two lists, then smiled: “Uncle is very polite.”

“These are Duke Chen’s properties? “

Chen An said casually.

“Yes.”

Chen Qi looked respectful, as if he really regarded himself as Chen An’s steward: “There is still a lot of interest lent to outside merchants, but not yet. Take it back.

“Well, it’s business as usual.”

Chen An nodded, and I handed it over to the list, and said casually, “I won’t read it in detail, please deal with it. “

“Want to come to Uncle It shouldn’t be disappointing me?”

He looked at Chen Qi and said with a smile.

However, seeing this smile, Chen Qi couldn’t help but shivered and said quickly: “Duke Chen, don’t worry, the villain will never let you down.”

“I think so too.”

Chen An nodded and said lightly: “I won’t stay in Duke Chen’s mansion for a long time, I will leave after a while, when the time comes, it will belong to you and Ziling together. .”

“I don’t know what you want to do, but it’s best not to make trouble.”

“Understand?”

“Yes.”

Chen Qi’s face immediately showed a happy expression: “I will definitely mention Duke Chen that you have taken care of this industry, and you will never disappoint Duke Chen.”

p>

Chen An’s implication is already obvious.

He will not take the initiative to take care of the various chores of Duke Chen’s house, nor will he pay attention to the specific conditions of these industries.

Chen Qi can still tyrannically abuse power in Duke Chen’s house like in the past, even if it is corrupt, Chen An will not care.

However, the premise is that Chen Qi must be interesting enough and not overdo things.

Otherwise, Chen Li’s fate awaits him.

In this regard, Chen Qi is naturally overjoyed.

After all, this is equivalent to handing over a considerable piece of interest to him.

Even though most of the proceeds will be handed over to Chen An, even the rest will probably be enough for him to eat and drink.

Of course, with him is Chen Ziling.

Chen An put Chen Ziling with him, maybe he meant to stare at him to some extent.

But Chen Qi doesn’t take this seriously.

It’s just a junior, and he will come when he comes.

He has spent most of his life in Duke Chen’s house, can’t he still compete for a Junior?

“It’s good if you know what to do.”

Chen An nodded, and then continued: “I’ll be leaving in a few days.”

” If there is any need, I will naturally send someone over to communicate with you.”

Hearing this, Chen Qi was secretly relaxed in his heart, but he was still earnest on the surface: “Duke Chen finally went back to the mansion, Why don’t you stay for a while before leaving?”

“The whole government is looking forward to Duke Chen, you can stay for a while.”

“I really want to be here. I don’t care if I stay in the palace for a while, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep, uncle, when the time comes.”

Chen An glanced at Chen Qi, then stood up silently and turned to leave.

Looking at Chen An’s back, Chen Qi felt relaxed in his heart.

Chen An just left.

After careful calculation, he didn’t stay in Duke Chen’s mansion for long, and the total days were less than half a month.

It can be said that it comes and goes in a hurry.

However, Chen An himself came to Duke Chen’s house, mainly to settle the Chen Li family.

Other things are incidental.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally left.

As for living in Duke Chen’s house, it is impossible.

It’s so frustrating.

Chen An took down Duke Chen’s mansion very quickly, which also resulted in the fact that the whole manor and manor were basically not killed or injured, and they were still the same group of people.

Among so many people, there may be some die-hard loyalists of the original Chen Li and even Chen Hua.

equivalent to is the home base of the enemy.

If Chen An lived in Duke Chen’s mansion for a long time, he might not even sleep well, and he would always pay attention to whether anyone had poisoned him or something.

It’s better to leave sooner rather than worrying about being there and always having trouble sleeping.

Anyway, with Chen Qi there, the profits generated by the entire Duke Chen residence can be taken away by Chen An at any time, so there is no need to stay there for a long time.

Good.

When it comes to Duke Chen’s mansion, Chen An doesn’t have any long-term development thoughts at all. He just plans to treat the whole mansion as a leek, and it’s good to cut it every now and then.

As for the operation and management of the entire government, there are people like Chen Qi and Chen Ziling.

No need for Chen An to worry about it.

Of course, before leaving, Chen An also took away the biggest wealth in Duke Chen’s house.

An arsenal built up over the years throughout Duke Chen’s house.

In that arsenal, there are many martial arts accumulated by Duke Chen’s house for many years, including an astral qi martial arts, Chen Clan’s Martial Scripture.

Chen Clan’s Martial Scripture, this astral qi martial arts is handed down from the ancestors of the Chen family, and its content is profound, which can make people Cultivation to the top of astral qi, that is, astral qi Third Layer Gathering Astral to the point of.

Chen An would probably be very excited if he had obtained this Martial Scripture at a young age.

But it doesn’t matter now.

He already has the astral qi martial arts Profound Ice Vigor on hand, and even if he gets such a copy of Chen Clan’s Martial Scripture, it seems to be of little use.

Cultivation Two copies of astral qi martial arts?

Theoretically yes, but in practice it doesn’t.

Unlike inner Qi, astral qi is much stronger.

Different astral qi will have violent conflicts in the body, because the properties of astral qi bred by different methods are often completely different.

Of course, if the martial arts are of similar nature, Cultivation may be possible at the same time.

For example, Bai Family’s Yin Body Art and Chen An’s Profound Ice Vigor, these two martial arts may be cultivated at the same time, and both are cultivated to the level of astral qi.

But it’s also dangerous and seems unnecessary.

Chen An is not without a follow-up method.

There are those source powers that improve Yin Body Art, isn’t it good for him to directly improve Profound Ice Vigor?

In the world of Astral Qi Realm, there is still a lot of source power consumed to increase a level.

Chen An is not willing to waste it.

In addition, there are different astral qi in physique, which seems to have a considerable influence on future promotion to Innate.

So no matter from any point of view, this Chen Clan’s Martial Scripture is basically equivalent to useless for Chen An.

His only role may be to enrich Chen An’s database for possible future deductions.

This is also the reason why Chen An is still working hard to empty the arsenal of Duke Chen’s house even though those martial arts are of no use to Chen An now.

It took a few days for Chen An to leave the place where Duke Chen’s house was before he returned to Shengjing.

And now, Chen An’s reputation is once again different from what it used to be.

Because during this time, what he did at Duke Chen’s mansion had already spread.

Of course, the version circulating in the outside world is slightly different from the story that happened in Duke Chen’s house, and it has been slightly modified.

The version in outside rumors is that after Chen An returned to Duke Chen’s house, Duke Chen was overjoyed and wanted to take the initiative to pass Duke Chen’s title directly to Chen An, which eventually led to Chen An’s biological father Chen Li and his wife. jealousy.

In order to seize the title, Chen Li’s family poisoned Duke Chen and attempted to murder his father, but Duke Chen finally realized that he was angry and killed his relatives righteously, beheading Chen Li’s family.

After this, Duke Chen was also poisoned and had to resign from Imperial Court and hand over Duke Chen’s title to Chen An.

Uh. Sounds a bit outrageous.

But no matter how outrageous the rumor is, as long as someone believes it.

Naturally those wise people won’t believe it.

After all, a dignified astral qi was poisoned and almost died of poisoning, which is already incredible.

What kind of poison can poison an astral qi like this?

Why didn’t you say Duke Chen choked to death while eating?

Not to mention, there are such rumors.

Chen An is also very familiar with rumors.

So before he started, he let people prepare different versions of the rumors, and they were ready to spread them everywhere when the time comes.

And among these rumors, the truth has also become a rumor, and it is impossible for people to believe it.

What! you do not believe?

Then you go and ask the client in person!

Whether it is the predecessor Duke Chen or Chen Qi and Chen Li, two brothers, you can ask.

See what they have to say.

Obviously, few people are so boring, and even more how if someone asks, they will definitely get another answer.

But regardless of the rumors, Chen An’s succession to Duke Chen’s title is a foregone conclusion.

“The time of half a month is gone, but you have changed a lot in Chang’an.”

In the Imperial Palace, Cheng Zheng looked at Chen An in front of him and couldn’t help but smile.

“Really?”

Chen An was a little puzzled: “Why don’t you think so.”

“Defeat Duke Chen, doesn’t it mean something to you? Has there been any change?”

Cheng Zheng said in surprise.

Apparently, he has received the message.

After what happened that day in Duke Chen’s mansion, Chen An wrote the whole thing that happened in Duke Chen’s mansion in a letter, and asked him to pass it on to Cheng Zheng.

Therefore, Cheng Zheng knew the details of that battle very well.

“The former Duke Chen is very powerful, even in astral qi, he is second to none.”

Chen An said: “However, after all, he is old and his body is not as good as before. “

“Even so, it’s still amazing.”

Cheng Zheng sighed: “You have just been promoted to astral qi, and you can defeat an opponent like the former Duke Chen. If you have some time, I’m afraid it will be even more important.”

“It seems that I still need to be more polite to you in the future, so as not to offend you.”

“Your Highness has been worrying too much. “

Chen An bowed his hands: “No matter what the minister, is it possible that you can’t do anything to your Highness?”

When the words fell, Cheng Zheng also smiled, no more bring up this topic.

Generally speaking, they have not seen each other for more than half a month, and they are still chatting very happily.

Cheng Zheng only briefly mentioned Chen An’s abolition of Chen Hua, and did not seem to have any intention of pursuing it.

This reaction was similar to what Chen An expected.

Duke Chen is also an astral qi. Under normal circumstances, if such a figure is abolished, Imperial Court will definitely pursue it.

Assuming Duke Chen is still alive.

Is Duke Chen still alive?

Of course he’s still alive, but to others, an abolished astral qi is actually almost dead.

For Imperial Court, it’s of little use.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Chen An is Cheng Zheng’s person, and he looked towards him from the very beginning, and it can be said to be loyal.

While Duke Chen’s house was following Second Prince Cheng Ming.

If someone else abolishes a prince, then of course they will be held accountable.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s one of your own who dethrones your opponent’s followers.

Faithfulness is the most important thing anyway.

There is no doubt that Cheng Zheng thought so.

So from the beginning to the end, I didn’t mention this matter much, I just let it go.

“That’s right.”

After chatting for a while, Cheng Zheng suddenly thought of something and said, “After you go back, remember to spend more time with Yier that girl. “

“You’re not here for a while, she’s in this Shengjing, but she’s got a lot of trouble.”

“Really?”

Chen An was a little surprised, but still nodded: “I know.”

For Cheng Zheng, who has always been serious, it can make him deliberately mention it. It seems that the Fourth Princess Cheng Yi has entered this period. It’s not a small disaster.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Zheng, Chen An turned around and returned to his mansion.

His current residence is the former Fourth Princess mansion.

This mansion was given to the Fourth Princess by the emperor in the past. It covers a vast area and looks exquisite everywhere. It is a rare place in this prosperous capital.

Finally, it was directly used by Fourth Princess as a dowry, and one piece belonged to Chen An.

The Fourth Princess happened to be there when Chen An returned to the mansion.

When she saw Chen An, she rushed over.

“Why did it take so long?”

Holding Chen An in her arms, she mumbled with some dissatisfaction.

“Mainly because it took some time on the way back.”

Chen An explained softly, his voice was as gentle as before, and people couldn’t help but feel good: ” I don’t really spend much time working in Duke Chen’s house.”

“I see.”

The Fourth Princess nods: “Anyway, it’s good that you’re not injured.”

“Tell me quickly, what did you do there?”

She is obviously curious enough about Chen An’s experience.

Unlike Cheng Zheng who is Crown Prince, although Chen An wrote to Fourth Princess, she did not tell her what happened.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, she is afraid that she will be worried, and on the other hand, she is afraid that she will have a big heart, so she directly tells what Chen An has done.

With Fourth Princess’s troublesome temperament, this is very possible.

Because of this, even as Chen An’s wife, Fourth Princess usually can only listen to rumors outside and guess the truth of things there.

At this moment, seeing Chen An again, she naturally couldn’t help it.

Chen An smiled and told her about her experience.

Of course, processed.

For the above reasons, I was afraid that she would speak out with a big mouth.

I have to say that Chen An’s ability to make up stories is not bad, it’s obviously just a trivial matter with no twists and turns, but he just made up waves and it’s very exciting.

If this was in a previous life, I’m afraid I could support myself by writing a novel or something.

It’s a pity.

Fourth Princess in front of her heard with keen interest pleasure, and after a long time with Chen An, she reluctantly left.

Chen An went back to the house and started his Cultivation silently.

The next time, everything seems to be back to normal.

Chen An lives with Fourth Princess and spends most of the time in Cultivation, and occasionally goes to Cheng Zheng’s mansion to help Cheng Zheng.

The reason for this is that Cheng Zheng found that Chen An was quite good at handling many things in addition to his strength, so after a short period of surprise, he often pulled Chen An over, Act as free labor.

In this regard, Chen An expressed helplessness and tried to refuse many times, but in the end he could only accept his fate.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, another half a year has passed.

After being quiet for more than half a year, a major event finally happened in Shengjing.

The emperor died.

The death of the emperor is actually something everyone expected.

As early as more than half a year ago, the emperor’s health had been in bad condition, and at that time he was even on the verge of death.

If it weren’t for the various old medicines to nourish, judging from the emperor’s physical condition, he should have died long ago, but he was barely hanging his life, and even the political affairs were handed over to Cheng Zheng.

In this case, everyone was naturally not surprised by the death of the emperor, and even secretly relaxed.

I’m finally dead.

But it’s normal to die, but it’s a major event after all.

The coffin is buried and the new emperor ascends the throne. Which one is not very important?

Therefore, after being silent for more than half a year, this Shengjing can be regarded as a rare lively.

From time to time, people from other places came to pay their respects, and even envoys from other countries came to present gifts for the new emperor’s enthronement.

Cheng Zheng, as Crown Prince, finally ascended the throne in front of the emperor’s coffin, officially becoming another generation emperor of Great Hua.

And when the new emperor ascends, everything is obviously going to be different.
