Time flies, and the days and months pass by like shuttles.
In a blink of an eye, it is already late April.
In the early morning, Furong City welcomed a spring rain.
In the misty drizzle, in front of the gate of Chen's Money House, dozens of Chen's shopkeepers stood solemnly at the bottom of the steps with umbrellas.
A carriage passed through the rain curtain, drove along the wide street, and finally stopped at the door of the money house.
The energetic old housekeeper held an umbrella and welcomed a fat man off the carriage.
The shopkeepers turned to the fat man and bowed:
"Meet the boss!"
The head of the Chen's Merchant Group, the president of the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Chen Baiwang,
is plump, with a face like a jade basin, and a kind look between his eyebrows, like a Maitreya in the world.
Chen Baiwang nodded slightly to everyone and took the lead to walk up the steps.
The shopkeepers hurried forward and entered the gate of the bank.
At the end of each month, the Chen's Merchant Group holds a monthly meeting, and most of the attendees are shopkeepers in Furong City.
The larger annual meeting is usually held at the end of the year, when shopkeepers from all over the country will come, and there will not be dozens of people at the moment.
In the huge conference room, the shopkeepers sat upright, each holding an agenda in his hand and looking at it carefully.
On the podium, Chen Baiwang also held an agenda, but this one was more detailed, with more than a dozen pages.
The chief shopkeeper Chen Laofu stepped forward and whispered,
"Master, the secret letter has been handed over to Xu Tianqi."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Baiwang's eyes:
"If his son dares to mess with my son, I dare to mess with his father!"
Chen Laofu said cautiously:
"What I am worried about is, what if Xu Tianqi withholds the letter?"
Chen Baiwang laughed sarcastically:
"Afu, you don't understand those people. When they suddenly ascend to a high position, they will only be complacent. Under the influence of greed, they will jump even harder and ask their masters for bigger meat bones."
He stopped thinking about these bad things and asked:
"By the way, how is Ke'er recently?"
Chen Laofu smiled: "Master, Xiaofu wrote to say that the young master is busy preparing for the exam these days and has made great progress!"
Chen Baiwang also smiled with relief and sighed:
"Ke'er has grown up and knows how to share the worries of the family. He did a good job last time."
Chen Laofu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Isn't it true? Xiaofu wrote to say that when the run occurred, even he was at a loss. As a result, the young master took action and beat and beat all the troublemakers away."
Chen Baiwang laughed and wished he could put down the things at hand and rush to Meicheng to see his son.
However, he couldn't. Furong City was the base camp of the Chen family and it could not be lost.
So he must stay in the city and control everything.
Ding!
With a crisp sound of the cloud board, the meeting officially began.
...
Outside the northern suburbs of Meicheng, Chen Ke packed his luggage and prepared to go home.
Tomorrow is the monthly exam, and he must have a good rest.
After these days of practice, Chen Ke's six arts of a gentleman have become more and more proficient.
Especially archery, there are new postures unlocked every day, and he never misses a shot.
When outsiders were around, Chen Ke deliberately concealed his strength and only showed a mediocre level.
Now my odds must be very high, and I can make a lot of money again. Chen Ke was very happy.
"Let's go!"
Tie Niu gave an order, and dozens of carts lined up in a long line, driving towards Meicheng in a mighty manner.
The convoy arrived at the north gate, leaving half of the carts for the city defense army.
The remaining vehicles were divided into two teams, one team followed Chen Ke back to the Chen Mansion, and the other team drove to the Haotian Academy. They
were just some agricultural and sideline products from the farm, not worth much money.
With the wealth of the Chen family, giving away these things has nothing to do with bribery.
Of course, there were also people who couldn't bear to see the scene of everyone being happy, and secretly reported to the City Lord's Mansion.
As a result, the next day, the general commander of the city defense army knocked out three teeth.
Back at the Chen Mansion, Lichun and Liqiu chattered and organized everyone to start collecting things.
The Chen Mansion, which had been silent for many days, became lively again.
Chen Ke walked around, suddenly thought of something, and walked towards the tool room.
He found some wood and assembled a "computer" in a short time.
Lichun came back and was immediately attracted by the "computer" assembled by the young master.
"Master, what is this basket for?"
"This is a monitor!"
Monitor?
Lichun looked confused and pointed to a rectangular wooden board with squares painted all over it:
"What about this?"
"This is a keyboard!"
"Where is the wooden mouse in your hand?"
"It's called a mouse!"
Lichun was in a daze for a long time, watching the master's two hands constantly operating, and asked timidly:
"Master, did you use the wooden board to beat the mice to death and then put them in the basket?"
How could this be explained clearly? Chen Ke said vaguely:
"That's probably what it means."
Lichun chuckled. The master was so stupid. Wouldn't it be better to raise a cat? Who would catch mice?
Chen Ke took out a piece of white paper, wrote a vertical row of numbers, and then hung it on the "monitor".
The window switched, and the mouse pointer appeared. Under Chen Ke's control, it moved quickly.
His "Six Arts of a Gentleman" was upgraded from entry level to "mastery", and the upper limit of his mental power was increased by 600 points.
With the upper limit of his mental power exceeding 5,000 points, Chen Ke could actually control the mouse with his mind.
However, in order to deepen the coordination between his hands and eyes and increase his speed, he still had to use props.
Chen Ke played until late at night, and killed all the heroes in Pesticide. Only then did he feel refreshed and got up to stretch his hands and feet.
After eating supper and washing up, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a moment.
The secret of "Return to the Void Sutra" was automatically activated, and the mental power consumed during the day was increasing.
In the middle of the night, a black shadow fell from the sky, sneaked into the woodshed like a ghost, and then floated away like a ghost.
After the man in black left, Ding San and Ding Si came out of the room and sneaked into the woodshed.
The two searched for a while and found a package from a hidden corner.
When they opened the package, they found a set of stealth suits and a set of tools specially used for drawing!
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The package in front of them confirmed the suspicion that Chen Ke was a spy of the demon clan.
The two put the package back to its original position, and after leaving the woodshed, they flew towards the direction of the academy.
"Bang!"
After hearing the report from the two, Liu Guanyuan's face turned grim and he punched the tea table hard.
Under the dim light, his expression was a little lonely, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes.
Ding San and Ding Si also sighed helplessly.
Instructor Liu actually admired Chen Ke very much. The reason why he sent them to follow Chen Ke was to monitor him. Wasn't it also to restrict Chen Ke to prevent Chen Ke from making the same mistake again?
However, things went against his will, and Chen Ke still took this step.
He had the motive, the ability to act, and now there was clear physical evidence.
Chen Ke was the spy of the demon clan lurking in the academy!
He used his identity as a student to go in and out of various places in the academy, and then secretly drew the topographic map and building distribution map of the academy.
And these drawings directly provided support for the demon clan's plan to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Shu.
Hehe, hehe,
Liu Guanyuan suddenly laughed strangely.
Ding San and Ding Si looked worried. It was over. The instructor was too deeply stimulated and his nerves were broken.
Liu Guanyuan said slowly:
"It's a coincidence that a man in black also sneaked into Chen Ke's dormitory tonight and hid two drawings under the bed."
The two were surprised. Ding San's heart moved:
"Instructor, do you mean that the other party is likely to frame Chen Ke?"
Liu Guanyuan said in a deep voice:
"In any case, the demon clan tried to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Shu. This matter can be confirmed.
You keep a close eye on Chen Ke, and everything will be discussed after the monthly exam!"
