Text Chapter 142 Changes
Chen Lei looked at the city guard on the city wall below, frowned slightly, and said in a voice transmission: "I am Chen Lei, a disciple of the Chen family, you can't wait to make a way out."
"What about the Chen family, can you just break the rules? Let me tell you, don't say that you are a disciple of the Chen family, even if the head of the Chen family is here, you must abide by our rules. If you want to enter the city, then Enter the city gate."
A leader-level city guard on the city wall did not take Chen Lei in his eyes at all, and he was not fooled by the name of the Chen family, and said with a sneer.
Chen Lei didn't know what happened in Qingyang Town, so he didn't plan to make trouble. He landed the celadon-glazed flying cloud boat to an open space outside the city gate, and asked everyone to get off the flying cloud boat and prepare to walk. Enter Qingyang Town.
"Stop, if you want to enter the city, you must pay taxes, 10 taels per person!"
Just as Chen Lei and others were about to enter the city, they were stopped by two defending soldiers.
Chen Lei frowned again and said, "Pay tax, when did Qingyang Town have this rule? Why haven't I heard of it."
When a soldier saw this, he suddenly looked fierce and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, this is the new rule set by our guards, and no one can violate it. If you want to enter the city, you must pay the tax honestly. Otherwise, go where you come from."
Chen Lei's eyes widened, and the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated after killing a thousand blood wolf bandits rolled out, and instantly enveloped the soldier.
"what!"
Attacked by Chen Lei's strong murderous aura, the soldier was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"I have to pay taxes when I go back to my house. I have never heard of this bullshit rule."
Chen Lei glanced sideways at another gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at Chen Lei, let alone collect taxes.
Chen Lei swaggered into the city with the 1,000 surviving women and children.
"stop!"
Chen Lei hadn't walked very far with his people when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a torrential rain from a distance.
"Tattoo taht..."
A team of heavily armed soldiers blocked Chen Lei's way.
"Who are you? You are so daring and lawless. You dare to violate the laws and regulations made by the guards himself. You don't pay taxes, and you attack and kill soldiers.
A lieutenant pointed a spear at Chen Lei's face and shouted angrily.
"Who the hell are you? You keep provoke me again and again and dare to be rude to me. Don't blame me for being rude."
At this time, Chen Lei was already sulking in his heart. When he went home by himself, he was so hard on one after another, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable.
"Dare to threaten the official and find a fight!"
After hearing Chen Lei's words, the lieutenant in the lead sneered, and his long spear, covering his face, slashed down towards Chen Lei's face, and said as he slashed, "The little pariah is so daring, even if he kills you, you deserve it. ."
Seeing the lieutenant's actions, Chen Lei was completely angry, and with a slight wave of his palm, he grabbed the spear in his hand.
"let go!"
Chen Lei let out a low voice, and with a little force, took the long spear directly from the lieutenant's hand.
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and said, "How dare you attack and kill Shangguan, intending to rebel, go up, go up with me, beat me hard, and I will be responsible for killing him..."
"Uuuuuu..."
When a dozen soldiers heard the order, they immediately swung their spears and slammed them towards Chen Lei.
Chen Lei's face turned cold, the spear in his hand turned into a stick, and a stick figure appeared. In the blink of an eye, he took the dozen or so soldiers off their horses. The lieutenant took special care of him. On the face, he was directly stunned.
Then, Chen Lei threw down the long spear in his hand, took a group of women and children, and Shi Shiran left.
This time, no one dared to stop him on the road, and Chen Leiping returned to the Chen residence safely.
"Chen Lei, why are you back at this time?"
The owner of the house, Chen Tangxuan, who got the news, came to the gate in person to greet Chen Lei.
Chen Lei said: "This is a long story. I'll talk about it later. Patriarch, you should arrange someone to settle these women and children."
Naturally, Chen Tangxuan also saw the women and children behind Chen Lei, as well as some elderly people, for the first time. He nodded, called a housekeeper, and instructed a few words.
"You all come with me."
The housekeeper led everyone to the backyard, and Chen Tangxuan and Chen Lei also came to the main hall and sat down separately.
"Chen Lei, why did you remember coming back?"
At this time, Chen Tangxuan had the opportunity to ask Chen Lei's intention to come back.
"I don't worry about the family, and I have nothing to do in Xuantian Sect. Come back and see, by the way, what is going on in Qingyang Town, why I have been away for half a year, the changes will be so big, who is this guard who actually left the city? Taxes are also collected when entering the city, what is the situation?"
Chen Lei said lightly about his return, and then asked the question in his heart.
"Ugh!"
Chen Tangxuan took a deep sigh, and then continued: "It's hard to say, don't we join forces with several other big families to eradicate and annihilate the Wang family in one fell swoop, and this Qingyang Town, the original guard was an elder of the Wang family. In that operation, the elder of the Wang family was not able to escape, and was wiped out by us. As a result, the position of Qingyang's guard was vacant. We had already recommended a new guard to the county government. Who would have thought that, The county government did not agree with the candidate we recommended, but instead sent a new guard, and all these things were made by this guard."
"What is the origin of this guard?" Chen Lei asked.
"This guard is called Ning Shanya. It is said that he is a distant disciple of the Ning family in Xihua Province. When he took office, he brought 2,000 elite soldiers, and he became the fifth largest force in Qingyang Town in one fell swoop. As soon as this Ning Shanya took office, he jumped up and down, united vertically and horizontally, and wanted to control the power of Qingyang Town. Now, both Zhao and Sun have fallen to this Ning Shanya Ning guard, and Because our Chen and Nie families did not agree to this Ning guard's conditions, this Ning guard can be said to be targeting our Chen and Nie families everywhere. Our families have been squeezed and persecuted, and our lives have been really steady. "
Chen Tangxuan had found someone to talk to, and spit out all the bitterness that he had held in the past few months towards Chen Lei.
The more he talked about Zhao Qi, Chen Lei's face became blue as he heard it. At the end, Chen Lei was so angry that he almost smashed the table into pieces: "This Ning Shanya actually wants my Chen family to present five young and beautiful women to him, Ning Shanya. What do you think of my Chen family?"
Chen Tangxuan said: "This Ning Shan's career is greedy and lecherous, and he will retaliate. After I directly rejected his request, I held a grudge against my Chen family. In the past few days, I have been looking for trouble almost every day, targeting my Chen family. "
