Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

"Autumn is high and the dew is heavy, don't catch a cold."

Hearing Chen Chong's voice, she felt a weight on her shoulders as soon as she turned around, and when she looked again, she found that there was an extra cloak on her body.

The girl froze, but then relaxed again.

Through sound and smell, she already knew the identity of the visitor.

"Thank you."

Tightening the cloak on her shoulders, Ake lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Chen Chong sat down at the stone table and asked a question, then took out the teapot and cup, and poured a cup of hot water for each of them.

"I...I can't sleep a little bit. After sitting on the boat for so long, I still feel a little uncomfortable after going ashore."

The girl was slightly taken aback, then made up a reason, and immediately asked back: "Brother Chen, why are you still awake?"

"I'm a little confused."

Chen Chong said something succinctly, then suddenly sighed: "But after spending most of the night, I almost figured it out."

A Ke nodded, smart enough not to ask in detail, under the strict education of Jiu Nan, she has developed the habit of asking less since she was a child.

After all, even if you ask the master, you may not be willing to tell.

The two looked at each other silently while holding teacups, and the yard fell into silence for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, the girl couldn't help but find a topic: "Brother Chen, I remember you said that you wouldn't kill those two water thieves?"

Chen Chong smiled, raised his eyebrows at the girl and said, "Sister, don't wrong me, it's obviously Jian Ning's hand, what does it have to do with me, Chen Chong?"

A Ke was stunned for a while, she didn't expect such a saying, but when she thought of Jianning's appearance when she killed someone, she couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the girl who was smiling like a flower, Chen Chong couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Sensing what was undisguised in the man's eyes, the girl turned her head away in embarrassment, not touching the man's eyes.

She took a sip of tea and began to change the subject: "Brother Chen, when did the third grandfather and grandson leave? I feel that they are not simple."

"Of course it's not easy."

Chen Chong snorted softly, took out a book and threw it on the table: "The protector of the Hongyang Sect, the great-grandson of Han Taihu, how could it be simple?"

A Ke picked up the book and took a look, only to see the five big characters "Hongyang Sighs the World Classic" written on the cover of the book.

"Hongyangjiao, I seem to have heard someone mention this name."

She stared at the book and murmured: "Yes, I heard from the master that they dared to do something..."

Chen Chong pursed his mouth: "What else can I do? Build a square to chant scriptures, set up a fast and have a funeral! Those who are worthless cheat some money, and those who are ambitious gather people to revolt. Isn't this what the White Lotus Sect has been like since ancient times?"

A Ke was taken aback: "Since they are liars, shouldn't we let them go?"

The man showed a meaningful smile: "In the past, of course they had to be killed, but now, I not only have to let them go, but also subsidize them with 200 taels of gold."

The girl's eyes widened, and her small head was full of big questions.

Chen Chong didn't continue to explain, he couldn't tell this girl that I made a poisonous plan to kill three people with two peaches, right?

Mite Qing killed Han Taihu's grandson and granddaughter, and the grandson of the Hongyang sect protector went south to protect the little leader, obviously intending to make a comeback and avenge his parents.

Now that Mi Qing is in power, Chen Chong is eager for someone to make trouble. Since these people intend to take revenge, he has no reason not to support it.

As long as they are anti-Qing forces, they are good brothers!

As for the old man taking the money, whether he wants to continue to support Xiao Han's leader, or kill Han Taihu's only bloodline, and then swallow the gold all by himself, this is not within his scope of consideration.

Seeing that Chen Chong didn't want to talk in depth, A Ke didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic thoughtfully.

"Brother Chen, where are we going next?"

Chen Chong played with the teacup and pondered: "After solving the martial arts problem of the big and small Shuang'er, I originally planned to take you away. But now that we have figured it out, we have to go to the head of the Tiandihui first."

A Ke nodded silently, and suddenly said: "Brother Chen, I think, I want to go to see my parents, at least, at least meet them once."

Chen Chong thought for a moment, and seeing A Ke looking at him expectantly, he nodded with a smile and said: "Since you call me big brother, then your business is my business, and your mother is—cough, anyway, this matter is no problem .”

The girl blushed immediately, stood up abruptly, turned her back, and stammered, "Chen...Brother Chen, it's late at night, I'm going to practice."

After finishing speaking, she didn't dare to stay at all, and walked quickly to her room.

"Tonight's time is over, let's rest earlier, don't practice."

Hearing Chen Chong's shout, A Ke, who was crossing the threshold, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She supported the door frame to stabilize her figure, took a deep breath without looking at the man, and hurriedly closed the door.

Seeing this situation, Chen Chong lost his interest. He put away the tea set with a wave of his hand, and slowly walked back to the bedroom with his hands behind his back. He began to recall the place where Chen Yuanyuan became a monk in his heart.

At the beginning, he didn't read the original book carefully, so even with his extraordinary memory, he didn't have the slightest impression of the place where A Ke's mother became a monk.

The only thing I remember is that after Chen Yuanyuan became a monk, his Dharma name was "Silence".

Now that he knows the names and taboos, Chen Chong doesn't worry anymore, at least it's better than finding a needle in a haystack.

Hearing the footsteps disappear, A Ke, who was holding her breath and leaning against the door, couldn't hold back anymore.

She let out a long breath of sullen air, padded her feet and quietly walked back to the bed, carefully took off the cloak, glanced left and right like a thief, then held the cloak close to her nose and gently sniffed.

----

Abbot room.

Chen Jinnan covered his face with a hot towel and lay on the rocking chair rubbing his temples.

Today, in order to cleanse Chen Chong, a lot of time was delayed during the day, and many backlogs were not dealt with until now.

Although he was busy until late at night again, he thought it was worth it. After all, Chen Chong not only donated 1 taels of silver, but also donated dozens of boats.

Just as he was thinking about the various arrangements Chen Chong had mentioned, suddenly there was a sound of panicked footsteps from outside.

Just hearing this sound, he knew it was his apprentice Wei Xiaobao.

Strange, it's so late, how come Xiaobao hasn't slept yet?

Ever since Wei Xiaobao left the palace, Chen Jinnan had a much better impression of this nominal apprentice.
