Chapter 120 120: Is there still a king's method? (4k)
"Are you looking for me?"
Chen Jinshi came out calmly.
Seeing this, Chen Shizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want things to get too serious tonight that he couldn't deal with.
Now that it's fine, Chen Jin took the initiative to open the door and show up. Let both parties talk face to face, with at least a wiggle room.
Taoist Chidan looked over and saw in his eyes that Chen Jin didn't have much Dharma light and blood on his body, he was just a good-looking scholar.
But I don’t know where such a person can get the confidence to not panic.
He immediately said solemnly: "Are you the one who came to the city from the countryside to take the provincial examination?"
He particularly emphasized the word "countryside" with a hint of contempt.
"So what?"
"I am a Taoist priest who protects immortality. I am here tonight to ask you a few questions."
Chen Jin narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"
Taoist Chidan suddenly took something out of his pocket and held it high in his hand: "Because this question is of great importance, I must treat it with caution. Everyone, this is the mantra elixir refined by Changsheng Temple. After a person eats it, Every question and answer is true. Now I am going to let this Chen Xiucai take this medicine and then ask again."
Hearing this, there was an uproar around him.
Chen Shizhen immediately protested loudly: "Master Chen is not a prisoner, how could he take your pills indiscriminately?"
Chidan Taoist said coldly: "If you dare not eat it, you have a guilty conscience."
Chen Jin glanced at him and said: "What mantra pill? It's just a poisonous worm wrapped in a medicinal skin. After you take it, your life and death will be in your control, and you can make good plans."
Chidan Taoist was startled, but he did not expect that the essence of the medicine in his hand would be revealed in one word: "That is not a worm, but a pill spirit. In short, you must eat it during this interview."
Chen Jin chuckled: "When did I say I would answer your question?"
Chidan Taoist became angry: "Young man with a yellow mouth, how dare you play tricks on a poor Taoist? Let me see if your sword is as sharp as your teeth?"
After saying that, he stood up, spread out the five fingers of his left hand, and grabbed Chen Jin.
There is a rune drawn on the palm of his hand, like a suction cup, which can easily control people.
"Don't let the demons be so rampant. Come and meet you for a while!"
Ye Yanke stepped forward, drew out his heavy sword, and struck it in the air.
His rush to fight was not to show off his strength, but to lead the charge. You can not only do a test, but also practice your sword skills.
A warrior swordsman's greatest advantage lies in close combat. But Taoist Chidan was not one of those low-level warlocks. He had rich experience. He showed a whisk in his hand like a magic trick. With a flick of his wrist, thousands of strands spread out, like a net, and quickly entangled Ye Yanke's heavy sword.
Fortunately, Ye Yanke held the sword hilt tightly, so the sword was not taken away.
This face-to-face confrontation immediately pales in comparison and exposes their weaknesses.
In fact, he is not suitable for using the heavy sword, it is too slow.
Ye Yanke's face turned red and he tried hard to pull, but he couldn't break the entanglement of the other party's whisk. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on for long.
"Okay!"
Chen Guizhong, who was marching for Taoist Chidan, shouted loudly, and the disciples behind him started making noises.
In their view, Ye Yanke was Chen Jin's effective bodyguard. As long as he was taken down, Chen Jin could be left alone to do whatever he wanted.
Chidan Taoist's eyes showed a cold light. While restraining Ye Yanke's sword with a fly whisk, he pointed his left hand together and turned it into a finger sword, thrusting it into Ye Yanke's eyes.
At this moment, the Taoist had murderous intentions in his heart.
Ye Yanke regarded the sword as his life and refused to let go to hide.
At this moment, Chen Jin suddenly stepped forward. His movements seemed unhappy, but he was at Ye Yanke's side in an instant, then stretched out his hand and flicked it on the hilt of the heavy sword.
Buzz!
This flick of the finger, with the help of the sword handle, immediately transferred the force to the sword blade. It was sharp and unstoppable, and it immediately cut off the strands of whisk that were wrapped around it.
The face of Taoist Chidan, who was originally showing off his face, changed drastically. He was angry and regretful at the same time: "How dare you destroy my magical weapon, I will kill you!"
After the epee was out of trouble, Ye Yanke knew that Chen Jin was about to take action himself, so he quickly stepped back.
"I also have a sword, please take a look at it!"
Chen Jin said, unsheathing the Cao Mang sword and quickly tapping the opponent's face.
Chidan Taoist felt a sword intent like the wind.
Biting north wind!
The north wind blows against my face, with a sharp and stinging feeling that cuts through the flesh.
What a powerful sword intent...
The Taoist felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he had been careless this time. He didn't dare to fight directly and retreated immediately.
However, no matter how fast he retreated, he could not escape the sword's will.
Then the sword's intention turned into light, and the human form was wrapped in the light and shadow.
The man followed the sword, and the man and the sword merged into one, rushing straight towards him.
"Is he trying to kill me?"
At this moment, Chidan Taoist actually felt the threat of death. He couldn't help roaring angrily, and struggled to hold up the half-bald fly whisk in front of him.
Click!
The sword light seemed to be indestructible, splitting the fly whisk in one fell swoop, and then struck him on the body.
With one strike of the sword, blood spattered ten steps.
"Ah!"
Some timid ones screamed.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and their expressions changed dramatically.
You must know that Taoist Chidan came to ask Chen Jin, but he didn't expect that he would take action after a disagreement.
It’s just a matter of deciding the outcome.
But what's the difference between life and death?
In full view of everyone, Chen Jin dared to kill someone!
The tip of Chen Jin's sword dropped, and there were still blood drops rolling down, dripping on the ground, and splashing open a red plum.
The visual impact of this scene was so amazing. Chen Guizhong stretched out his finger and shouted sharply: "Look! Look! Uncle, you still said he doesn't know how to swordsmanship?"
Chen Shizhi: "..."
At this moment, I have more on my mind.
On the one hand, what will happen after the Taoist Red Alchemist is killed? On the other hand, it is self-evident how strong Chen Jin is in killing the Taoist Red Alchemist in the fifth realm.
What should we do in the face of such a person?
Chen Jin raised his sword again and said loudly: "Everyone heard it just now. This man screamed to kill me. I was helpless and could only defend myself."
The sword edge turned and pointed towards Chen Guizhong: "So, is there anyone who wants to ask me for questions now?"
"He is coming to kill me..."
Chen Guizhong was heartbroken and lost all courage and courage, so he turned around and left.
The more than ten disciples who followed him immediately dispersed like birds and beasts and fled.
Outside Chen Shizhen's door, a large area was quickly cleared.
"It seems that no one comes to ask me anymore."
Chen Jin thought to himself, returned the sword to its sheath, turned to the stunned Chen Shizhen and said, "Master Chen San, do you still dare to invite me to tea?"
Chen Shizhen swallowed his saliva and recovered slightly from the shock, but his legs were stiff and he still couldn't move.
Prior to this, Chen Shizhen had already had suspicions about the deaths of Taoist Song and Chen Shicheng, and suspected that it was Chen Jin's hand.
After all, nothing in the world is such a coincidence.
But suspicion is suspicion. Without real evidence, it is difficult to convict.
This approach is quite clever and can advance or retreat.
But now Chen Jin stopped pretending and took action. In front of everyone, he killed Taoist Chidan with one sword and overturned the table.
Chen Shizhen does not believe that Chen Jin is the kind of reckless person. In other words, if he dares to flip the table, he has the matching strength and means.
There is no doubt that he is a great psychic!
Thinking of this, Chen Shizhen couldn't help but get excited and quickly made a decision: "Mr. Chen, the door of my house will always be open to you."
Ye Yanke stepped forward and began to touch the body skillfully, then returned to the house after touching the body. The eyes of Chen Shizhi and others over there were twitching.
Immediately afterwards, the boy Awu closed the door neatly.
Chen Shizhi: "..."
Chen Guiwen: "..."
The people who were left outside the door looked at each other in shock.
What does this mean?
Simply unworthy of a son of man.
Chen Shizhi had no choice but to order people to bury the body of Taoist Chidan, and then returned to the clan meeting hall with a few brains to start the meeting.
"This kid commits murder in public, does he still have the royal law in his eyes? Does he still have rules?"
Soon, a white-haired old man said angrily, hitting the floor heavily with the crutch in his hand.
He is an elder of the Chen family in Changletang.
"There is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!"
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Someone spoke again, it was Chen Shimou, the head of the sixth house.
"What conspiracy?"
"He deliberately killed Taoist Chidan in front of everyone in order to drag us all into the water. In the future, when the Changsheng Guan comes to ask questions, the blame will naturally be placed on us."
"That's true."
"Yes, this kid is very evil-minded..."
Everyone agreed.
"What are you afraid of? We can just tell the truth when the people from the Temple of Immortality come. On the contrary, the third child will get burned and wait to bear the wrath of the Temple of Immortality."
This is Chen Shiliang, the owner of the fifth house: "Boss, do you think so?"
Chen Shizhi's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "If there is a chance, we will let Chen Jin recognize his ancestor and include him in the Changletang family tree. What do you think?"
"Boss, are you confused?"
"This is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, absolutely not allowed!"
"I think this son is ambitious and daring, which is a big disaster."
There was a chorus of disapproval.
Chen Shimou said dissatisfied: "Boss, why do you say such unreasonable things?"
Chen Shizhi lowered his gaze: "Actually, Lao San came to see me a while ago to discuss the possibility of this matter."
Chen Shimou sneered and said: "Chen Jin is a guest in his house, so he will naturally run around and lobby for him, but it is just wishful thinking."
"Yes, we should drive it out of Dustpan Alley immediately to avoid future troubles."
The white-haired clan elder couldn't stand people like Chen Jin. He was too unstable, like a ball of sparks. If he wasn't careful, he might start a fire and get out of control.
Chen Shiliang had a gloomy face: "The second child may have suffered from his poisonous hands. Should we investigate thoroughly?"
Chen Shizhi looked at him and said quietly: "In that case, why don't you go visit me again, Lao Wu, and ask Chen Jin for an explanation?"
Chen Shiliang suddenly fell silent.
Just kidding, Taoist Chidan went to ask questions and was brutally chopped up in public. At this time, who dares to go?
Looking for death?
Chen Shizhi turned his eyes and glanced at everyone: "If any of you are willing to question and investigate the murderer, you can go. As long as we find evidence, we will use our family's strength to avenge the second child. How? ”
Everyone was silent.
Chen Shicheng's death was caused by the rebellion and backlash of the family gods. At least all the clear evidence proves this.
Very typical headless case.
Where can I find evidence?
Of course, according to the style of the wealthy family, some things do not require real evidence, they can just arrest the person directly, then torture the person to extract a confession, sign a signature, and then send him to the Yamen for conviction.
This is what Chidan Taoist did, to force Chen Jin to take the so-called "True Word Pill" containing poisonous insects.
Then he died on the spot.
Who wants to be next?
Observing their expressions, Chen Shizhi suddenly understood: Chen Jin killed the Taoist in public, and there was no conspiracy at all, but an honest intimidation and a display of his own strength.
He actually said he was doing it in self-defense.
It is most difficult to deal with people who are lawless and disregard the rules.
Because you don’t know when he will come to give you a try.
Moreover, Chen Jin's skills are obviously not only the sword in his hand, but also other things, so he can appear and disappear...
I thought he was just a scholar who came from the countryside to take the exam, but now I saw that it was not the case at all.
Chen Jin was shrouded in a mysterious fog that made it impossible to see through.
Because of its mystery, it is full of unknown dangers.
Subconsciously, Chen Shizhi did not want to be an enemy of such a person. Deep down, I think it would be a good thing for Dustpan Alley to bring the other party over and become the same clan.
It's a pity that other people don't think so. They are unwilling to let Chen Jin recognize his ancestor for various reasons, either because of short-sightedness, rejection, or worry.
Although Chen Shizhi is the head of the household, such a major matter cannot be decided by him alone and must be supported by the majority of people.
Had to put it on hold for now.
It's okay to wait, wait for the results day to see if Chen Jin can pass the examination; wait for the next wave of people from the Immortality Guan to send...
Before that, Chen Shizhi would not expel Chen Jin from Dustpan Alley.
If you do that, you will take sides too early, which is not a wise move.
……
Although he went back to drink tea, Chen Shizhen felt restless and uneasy.
Tonight's matter has reached this point, and the situation is already very serious.
Not only did someone die, but the Taoist protector of the Immortality View also died. How could the other party just let it go?
As for whether Chen Guizhong, who was scared away, would report to the officials and alert the officials, there is no need to worry.
People in the world of martial arts and Taoism are reluctant to deal with government agencies, lest they get into trouble.
The last time Taoist Song and Chen Shicheng died, no one in Dustpan Alley reported it to the authorities. Instead, they chose to investigate and deal with it internally.
This is basically the default rule.
If Chen Guizhong dared to bring the matter to the prefectural and county government offices, not only would he not be able to get a good deal, but he would also find it difficult to find a place in Dustpan Alley.
Chen Shizhen is worried that people who believe in longevity will come to seek revenge from Chen Jin.
This is almost inevitable.
The grievances and grievances in the world are always endless.
In addition, Chen Shizhen is also worried that the attitude of the Chen family will arouse public anger and attack Chen Jinqun?
The night passed without incident.
Chen Shizhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the clan was relatively calm and restrained and did not act rashly.
After thinking about it, he felt that he should pay a visit to the boss, Chen Shizhi, and inquire about his tone.
So I took the old butler Chen Uncle with me and picked out another gift.
On the way there, I met many people from the clan.
After seeing Chen Shizhen, these people avoided him and pointed.
It's not because of fear, but more likely to avoid trouble.
On the way, Chen Shizhen also heard news that Chen Guizhong was very frightened, fearing that he would be harmed by Chen Jin and make the same mistakes as his father. So he escaped from Dustpan Alley overnight and took refuge outside.
Other houses have actually locked up the household gods they enshrine, or hired special personnel to guard them to avoid problems.
It seems that the impact Chen Jin has brought is really not small.
But Chen Shizhen and Chen Jin had a chat while drinking tea, and they knew that Chen Jin was by no means an indiscriminate killer. His killing of Taoist Chidan was really self-defense.
Who told the Red Pill Taoist to force Chen Jin to take the True Word Pill?
