When he arrived in Qingping County, Chen Shishi went to the Prince's Mansion of Qingping County.But at this moment, Qingping County Prince's Mansion has become Qingping Prince's Mansion.

Li Lanzhi brought back the magic medicine, and soon the good news spread from the harem. The emperor immediately named the king of Qingping County as King Qingping, and the official title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.Li Lanzhi was promoted to be the third-rank Hualan princess, and Li Lanfeng also became the prince of Qingping from the son of the county prince, and the prince was passed on.

After listening to Li Lanzhi's description of overseas, the emperor decided to form a large fleet, build warships, and vigorously promote the development of guns, artillery, yao and other weapons. Li Lanzhi led the team to go to the East to do business with other countries and promote the prestige of the heavenly dynasty.

Therefore, the development of guns and explosives fell on Chen Shishi's head.Although she is a member of the Ministry of Industry, she doesn't care about engineering, water conservancy and other matters, but she is the military supervisor and general supervisor.

The emperor plans to go to the East within three years, so Chen Shiyi is under a lot of pressure.

She came to Qingping Palace for three main reasons.

First, be sure of your identity.Second, King Qingping and Li Lanzhi are both busy in the capital, and she will come back to escort Li Lanfeng and King Qingping's concubines and concubines to the capital.Thirdly, the King of Qingping became the King of Qingping, and she will assist Li Lanfeng to renovate the cemetery of the ancestors and offer sacrifices to the ancestors.

As soon as she led the horse to the gate of the palace, she saw Li Lanfeng and Director Li Qi leading the concubine of King Qingping and a bunch of servants of the palace to welcome them at the gate.

Immediately afterwards, a group of servants from the palace knelt on the ground and said, "This servant pays his respects to Mr. Chen."

Li Lanfeng is already 15 years old this year, and at this moment he is wearing a royal costume, which makes him even more graceful and imposing.His temperament is gentle and refined, very similar to his sister Li Lanzhi.Seeing the surprise in Chen Shishi's eyes, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "I received a letter from my sister a month ago, knowing that Brother Chen would return to Qingping in a few days, so I asked Manager Li to send someone to guard the official road. So I learned When Brother Chen came back, he led the prince's children and servants of the palace to welcome him in person."

Chen Shiyi lowered his voice and said, "How did you recognize me?"

"Brother Chen was joking. You were adopted by your mother and concubine and grew up in the palace. We all know this face. Four years ago when you were seriously ill and dying, your sister took you to sea to find medicine. Today, Brother Chen is not only in good health, Moreover, it is really gratifying to be honored to return to my hometown. I have hosted a banquet at Juxian Tower tonight, and I have invited dignitaries and celebrities from Qingping County. Brother Chen is the protagonist tonight, so you must get drunk!"

Chen Shishi sighed in his heart, Li Lanzhi was really thoughtful and thoughtful.It turns out that she didn't pick the name Chen Yi casually, nor did she give the human pi mask casually, and the identity of Prince Qingping's Yizi is not fake, she has already made a plan to pull herself on the big boat of Prince Qingping's Mansion.

In the evening, Chen Shiyi and Li Lanfeng set off from the palace to Juxianlou.Because she went back to Xinghua Village before the official uniform was made, so Chen Shiyi was wearing the robe of Wu Zhuangyuan, with the gold medal of Wu Zhuangyuan on his belt, and Li Lanfeng, who was wearing the prince's uniform, appeared in Juxian Tower , everyone guessed her identity.

So Qingping dignitaries and celebrities headed by Wen Shizhao saluted and said: "See Prince Qingping's son, I have met Mr. Chen!"

Li Lanfeng said with a smile: "Master Wen, my lords, all my uncles and elders, today my son will clean up the dust for my elder brother Chen Yi, and congratulate her on her return to her hometown. Thank you all for coming here, everyone, please be casual, don't be too polite, let's all get up!"

"Thank you son!"

Li Lanfeng sat on top, Chen Shishi sat on Li Lanfeng's right, and Wen Shizhao sat on Li Lanfeng's left.Sitting next to Wen Shizhao was the county lieutenant Li Cheng, followed by the county magistrate Zhang Mang, and the county school chief Moon Jae-in.Chen Shishi didn't know the rest of the people, and she only recognized them all thanks to Li Lanfeng's introduction.

She is not good at this kind of banquet, anyway, it is right to keep a cold face throughout the whole process, and she will not refuse a toast, after all, the alcohol content here is not high, and her alcohol capacity is not light.

During the banquet, Li Cheng suddenly asked: "Your Excellency Chen is young and promising. He is less than [-] years old. He will be successful in martial arts and martial arts. Dare I ask if you can start a family?"

"Not at all. When I return to my hometown, apart from repairing the ancestral tomb of the prince's mansion and escorting the son to Beijing, the purpose is to marry a wife."

Everyone in the audience became active when they heard this.It didn't take long for him to be active, but he was dispelled by Chen Shixi's next words.

"I have heard for a long time that Xiao Jinyi, the daughter of Master Xiao Zaidao in Xinghua Village, is beautiful, virtuous, filial and chaste. I have admired her for several years. When I came back this time, I heard that she was not yet married, so I decided to have a good relationship with her. I am an orphan. The adoptive father is in the capital, I don't know which of the adults here, uncles and uncles, would you like to bring a matchmaker to the Xiao family to propose marriage as an official elder?"

As soon as this remark came out, except for Li Lanfeng's smiling face, all the people present were silent, and unconsciously glanced at Wen Shizhao from the corner of their eyes, but Wen Shizhao had a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Shixi could understand such a reaction.The current official is not as good as the current manager. Although she is of high rank and the Qingping Palace is also very powerful, they will all go to the capital soon, while Wen Shizhao will stay in Qingping County for three years.Wen Shizhao is still unmarried, and everyone in Qingping County with some ability and reputation knows his thoughts on Xiao Jinyi.

Then Wen Shizhao spoke. "Your Majesty Chen didn't know that Miss Xiao was the righteous younger sister of an official. More than three years ago, Chen Shiyi, the husband-in-law of her righteous sister, committed the crime of arson and committed suicide. The younger sister had a deep affection for Chen Shiyi, and she swore to fight for her. A dead husband keeps the chastity and will never remarry. If she is forced to marry, both humans and gods will abandon her and go to hell. If the lord sends someone to come to propose marriage, I am afraid that the righteous sister will live up to the lord's heart."

Chen Shishi hated it in his heart. If Wen Shizhao hadn't been pressing every step of the way, how could Jinyi have made such an oath.

"Miss Xiao is really a loving, righteous and loyal woman. I love such a woman even more. Mr. Wen said that Miss Xiao claimed that if she was forced to marry someone, she would throw herself into hell. It shows that Miss Xiao treats that person badly." If you like it, if you don't like it or not, you will force her to get married. I am confident that Miss Xiao knows that I will send someone to propose a marriage, and she will definitely like it. As Miss Xiao's stepbrother, Mr. Wen does not want Miss Xiao to be married. Let's be a widow alone and helpless for the rest of my life, if Miss Xiao can marry me, I and Mr. Wen will be considered relatives, how about Mr. Wen taking a trip for me?"

Wen Shizhao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of storms, but his face was still calm.

Moon Jae-in on the side said: "Master Chen, I would like to bring a matchmaker to Xiao's house to propose marriage for you."

He didn't want his son to be obsessed with Xiao Jinyi and not get married, but now there is a bigger official who is willing to marry Xiao Jinyi, so he can break his son's mind, let him marry another woman as soon as possible, and open up branches for the Wen family. leaf.

Seeing that Wen Shizhao was deflated and couldn't get angry with her, let alone his father, Chen Shiyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"That's as old as Lowen Hill."

"My son, Mr. Chen, I am too drunk to drink, so I will leave first." Wen Shizhao left angrily, and Wen Zaiyin also left because he was afraid that his son would do something impulsive.

Then Chen Shiyi also left the banquet with too much alcohol, and Li Lanfeng continued to accompany him.

After Chen Shiyi returned to the palace, she put on her night clothes and went to the roof of the Wen family's study room, lifted the tile cover, and Wen Zaiyin and Wen Shizhao in the study room were arguing.

"Zhao'er, don't be obsessed with it. Xiao Jinyi won't like you, and won't be worthy of you. You're already 22, and I'm just a son like you. If you are unfilial, there are three things that have no descendants. Do you really want to let the Wen family have no descendants?" I said I want to make some connections, and Prime Minister Tuo Wen transferred you to the capital to be a capital official, but you don't want to, do you really want to piss your father off?"

"Father, I don't think my character is noble, but I still have the nobility and integrity of a scholar. I want to be promoted, but I also rely on my own ability to get promoted. I don't bother to hold Prime Minister Wen's thigh. The reason I study so hard is to marry Xiao Jin. As a wife, I don't like other women, and I don't like them. In short, I will not give up, not to mention that Chen Yi is just a member of the fifth rank, even if she is the first rank in the dynasty, I will not give up on Xiao Jin. According to."

"Evil son!" Wen Zaiyin slapped Wen Shizhao on the ground with an angry slap, and then said to the general manager of the house: "Shut the young master in the room and don't allow him to go out. The county government asks for sick leave, and all matters are handled by the county government." Cheng Zhang Mang handles it."

"I see which of you would dare. I am the magistrate of Qingping County. If you dare to lock me in your room, I will chop off your heads later!"

Those servants dare not do anything.

Moon Jae-in's beard was trembling with anger, and he smiled back in anger: "Cut your head, right? After Xiao Jinyi marries Chen Yi, I will let you out. If you want to chop off your head, you should take my head first." It was cut."

Then he ordered the servant: "Tie me up and tie up the young master. He is the county magistrate, and I am his father. Let me see if he has the guts to do something to me."

Those servants were so powerful that they immediately tied up the frail scholar Wen Shizhao as an acquaintance and sent them back to the room.

Then Wen Zaiyin said to the housekeeper: "Go, let the young master take this medicine, and then find two beautiful and innocent girls to send to the young master's room. In short, without my order, the young master must not be released."

The butler said worriedly: "Master, he will hate you, Young Master."

"For the future generations and survival of the Wen family, I have to do the same."

Chen Xiyi left the Wen family's study room, walked around the Wen mansion three times, and found that although there were many guards in the Wen mansion, there was no aura of a master of the inner family, and no one had discovered her existence, so he went to the county lieutenant Li Cheng mansion.

At this time, Li Cheng had just returned from Juxian Building. After returning to the mansion, Li Cheng went to the study and said to the housekeeper: "I always feel a little familiar with this Chen Yi. Send someone to the capital to find out how this man is so young. It is not enough to be recognized by the Holy Majesty, and the official title of Xuanwu General is not enough, but he has become a member of the Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, sir."

After the butler left, Chen Shiyi knocked out the guard and pushed the door open to enter the study. Li Cheng was startled when he saw a man in black with a sharp sword push the door in. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Who are you? How did you come in, think, what do you want to do?"

Chen Shishi wasn't sure if Li Cheng was the murderer who framed her, but she felt that there was a master in Li Cheng's house, and of course the so-called master was for her four years ago.Now that person probably can't do more than thirty moves in front of her.

So she decided to test the truth.She used internal force to change her voice, and said, "Do you still remember how your son Li Mao died?"

Li Cheng's face changed drastically: "Come on..." Man!

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Shishi tapped the Ya point.

"It's easy for me to kill you. Those guards and masters in your house can't save you, and they can't stop me. I want to know how your son Li Mao died. I will wait for you at the mass grave tomorrow night. Dare If you don’t come, I’ll kill you all over the place, you should believe that I have this strength.”

After intimidating, Chen Shixi left the county captain's mansion without anyone noticing.
