Chapter 420: 21
303 Chen Jie thought about it, then looked at Ruirui and said, "Ruirui, why did you agree to your master's idea and accept everyone's targeting?"
Ruirui heard this and said, "Because Master said, as long as I can defeat all of them, I will be their eldest sister, and they will all listen to me from now on. On the contrary, if someone can defeat me and then withstand the attacks of all of us, he can become the eldest brother or eldest sister, and then he can lead us and command us!"
"I want to be the eldest sister and make them all listen to me!"
Ruirui pointed forward with both hands, with light in his eyes.
After hearing this, Chen Jie had to say that Hua Sanniang was really combative. If she wanted to be the eldest sister or eldest brother, she had to defeat everyone by herself and become the undisputed king.
This doesn't sound like a method that can come from a college. On the contrary, Chen Jie has heard of many bandit groups choosing their leaders in this way.
However, Chen Jie didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In troubled times, the first thing a warrior should learn is how to survive.
This way, we can cultivate a group of outstanding talents.
Chen Jie said: "Well, very good, brother-in-law also supports you to be the senior sister."
"Really, thank you, brother-in-law."
Xiaodouding was very happy and she really needed her brother-in-law's encouragement.
Su Yunjin heard this and said, "Husband, is this inappropriate?"
Chen Jie said: "What's wrong with this? In this world, students need to have some wolfish nature."
"This kind of behavior should not only be stopped, but also praised. From now on, this senior sister or senior brother will be the monitor of the class and can assist the teacher in managing the students."
After hearing this, Su Yunjin didn't say much, but just nodded and said, "Then I will obey my husband."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, madam."
The two chatted and laughed as the food was served. Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, I want to tell you something."
Chen Jie said: "Oh, go ahead."
Su Yunjin said, "There will be a temple fair in East City in five days, and lanterns will be lit at night. Ruirui and the others want to go and see the lanterns. Look at us..."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, that's it. Okay, let Xiaohu take you there when the time comes. With a Hua Jin master accompanying you, there shouldn't be any problem with safety."
After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Well, I'll have to trouble you, husband."
Chen Jie said, "Well, it's okay. I think so. We have been in Mianshui County for such a long time, and I haven't accompanied you to visit the scenery in the city. We can take this opportunity to see the temple fair and join in the fun. If I have nothing to do that day, I will go with my wife."
"Thank you, husband."
Su Yunjin smiled sweetly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Si Xi ran in hurriedly. When he saw Chen Jie, he clasped his fists and said, "Master."
"Oh, Sixi, what's the matter?"
After hearing this, Si Xi said, "Master, someone from the Darughachi Mansion came and said they want to invite you to the mansion to discuss matters."
"Come to the mansion to discuss matters?"
Chen Jie was stunned. Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, will you be okay?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he stood up. At this time, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, you haven't eaten yet."
Chen Jie turned around and said, "Madam, you guys eat first."
After saying this, Chen Jie took two steps and paused before saying, "By the way, Hongmei, Cuiju, you watch Madam eat. If Madam is not full, you will be punished when she comes back."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Jie turned and left. Hongmei and Cuiju looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, please eat something, otherwise we will be punished."
Su Yunjin said helplessly: "Okay, I'll eat it..."
Chen Jie left the mansion and immediately said to Si Xi, "Si Xi, you did a good job yesterday. You were able to find Old Monster Liu in time, so I'll credit you for your contribution."
After hearing this, Si Xi said hurriedly: "These are all my duties. I dare not take credit for them. Besides, I have done something wrong..."
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Haha, you always have a burden in your heart, relax a little, our White Tiger Hall is very big, we can accommodate a person who has gone astray, and everyone treats you as a brother."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Chen Jie patted Sixi's shoulder and said, "You, as long as you remember, you won't go wrong if you do things that benefit your brothers. By the way, Xiaohu will be buying a large amount of dragon's blood in the next few days. Find an empty warehouse to store it."
"Yes, Master, I will arrange it right away."
Si Xi responded and immediately went to arrange the warehouse.
At this time, Chen Jie followed a group of people and went directly to the Darughachi Mansion.
Soon, Chen Jie arrived at the Darughachi Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two horse-drawn carriages, one belonged to Old Monster Liu and the other belonged to Nan Batian.
When Chen Jie saw the two cars, he was also stunned. The two most powerful gang leaders in Mianshui County had arrived.
It seems that there is something important to be discussed in today's meeting.
As he was thinking this, he saw Commander Qimuge come out. Qimuge looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, you are here."
Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Commander Qimuge."
Qimuge said, "Don't be polite, don't be polite, come to our house to talk, the adults have been waiting for a long time."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately followed Qimugege into the mansion.
Then Lord Yelu was seen fishing by the lake not far away, with Old Monster Liu and Nan Batian sitting next to him. The three of them each had a fishing rod and threw it into the water to fish.
Chen Jie and Qimuge came over, and Qimuge said, "Sir, Chen Jiusi is here."
Upon hearing this, Yelu turned around and glanced at Chen Jie, then immediately waved and said, "Jiu Si, come here quickly."
Chen Jie didn't understand why, but he still quickly went up to him and said, "Sir."
Yelu said, "There is another fishing spot next to Gang Leader Nan. Go over there and fish for a while."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Yes."
As he spoke, Chen Jie came to Nan Batian. Nan Batian turned around and glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si is also very strong and vigorous. How come your subordinate Chen Xiaohu said that he was seriously injured?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately said, "What the gang leader said is right. I also came here because I was sick. By the way, is Mr. Tang awake?"
Nan Batian heard this and said, "Awake."
Chen Jie said: "That's good, that's good."
As the two were talking, Yelu said, "Hey, what are you two whispering about? Speak out so that everyone can hear."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master Yelu, it's nothing. My gang leader is concerned about my injury."
Nan Batian glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Yes, Lord Yelu, I am concerned about his injury."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "Oh, I didn't expect you guys to have such a good relationship. By the way, what happened this morning? I heard that many of you died?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian frowned and looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at Old Monster Liu again. Old Monster Liu had no expression on his face. Chen Jie said, "Well, it's nothing. It was the Zoroastrian thieves who attacked the Cao Gang. I followed the orders of the Gang Leader to go and help Gang Leader Liu."
"Oh, is that so?"
Yelu looked at Nan Batian, and Nan Batian's expression changed. He then said, "Yes, that's right."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "Well, these Zoroastrians are really too rampant. They have swept through three routes and more than a dozen prefectures in the north. Now the south is also restless. At this time, what we need most is to cooperate with each other and suppress these lawless rebels."
"So these days, I hope there won't be any problems between you. If there is any hatred or resentment, just speak it out in this courtyard today and I will make the decision for him. But if you have any personal grudges outside this mansion, don't blame me for being rude."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. It seemed that Lord Yelu wanted to be the peacemaker today.
That's not right. Lord Yelu usually doesn't care about local conflicts. Why would he say that today?
Could it be that something unexpected happened in the court?
Everyone thought about it, but no one said much, and then Yelu said: "Okay, you can talk about your grievances now."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
They would not be stupid enough to really put their grudges on the table, because they knew that there would be basically no results and they could not accomplish what they needed with Yelu.
So speaking out at this time would not solve any problems, but would only create more problems, so the three of them remained silent.
Yelu smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, it seems that everyone has no conflicts. Since there are no conflicts, then I will talk about business."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yelu, not knowing what Yelu was going to say.
Yelu said: "Well, let me tell you, everyone knows about the Zoroastrian rebellion in the north, right?"
Chen Jie and the other two nodded in unison.
The Zoroastrian rebellion in the north was very serious, sweeping across three routes, more than a dozen prefectures, and dozens of counties. The imperial court sent the White Deer Legion, one of the three elite forces, to suppress it, but the effect was not ideal.
The three looked at Yelu, and Yelu said, "Well, I'm sure you've heard some rumors. What I want to tell you is that the court is very angry about the rebellion in the north, especially since the Zoroastrians actually have sophisticated weapons."
"This posed a great threat to the Daqian army. Prime Minister Tuo Tuo Bu Hua was very angry, so he sent inspectors to various places to check whether there were any localities secretly communicating with Zoroastrianism and selling ironware to Zoroastrianism."
As Lord Yelu spoke, Chen Jie frowned slightly.
At this time, Yelu continued: "At present, the inspectors are already conducting inspections in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and will soon enter our Huguang Road. By then, our Huangzhou Prefecture, including our Mianshui County, will be under the supervision."
"So, I want to tell you that our next focus is to crack down on Zoroastrianism and cut off their roots in Mianshui County!"
"Recently, I have sent Qimuge to capture a group of Zoroastrian rebels and destroyed one of their transportation routes. We have also captured some people. As long as any of these people speak up, we can follow the clues and catch their lair in Mianshui County and destroy it."
"This is to welcome the inspector to our Mianshui County."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Chen Jie then clasped his fists and said, "Master Yelu, we understand what you said. Please give the order. Whether it is to send people or manpower, we will not hesitate!"
Chen Jie patted his chest and said, "After hearing this, Yelu was very happy. This Chen Jiusi is sensible."
Then he looked at Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai, who also expressed their determination: "Sir, please tell me, what should we do?"
After hearing this, Yelu nodded slightly and said, "Very good, if that's the case, then let's talk about the key points."
"Regarding the inspection by the inspector this time, I think our focus should not be on arresting Zoroastrians, but on the smuggling of ironware. The court has made up its mind this time. The inspector has arrested more than a dozen Darughachis all the way south, and three of them have been beheaded."
"This is a very dangerous signal, so for our safety, I racked my brains and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a perfect plan. Until today, when Boss Liu came to offer advice, I suddenly had an idea and came up with a perfect plan."
After hearing this, Chen Jie and Nan Batian both looked at Old Monster Liu.
Especially Nan Batian frowned at this time, wondering what on earth this old monster Liu was doing.
Chen Jie looked at Old Monster Liu, then remained silent and watched what happened.
