Chapter 248: Chen's attitude
"Although the broken sword is a fragment, the poison on it has not been disposed of. I think that white girl has not yet been completely cured. This poison is very powerful. After all, it has been soaked in snake venom for a long time."
Old Xu nodded and opened the bag directly.
Then he wore a pair of special gloves, which were made by A Zheng, made of snakeskin, the inner side of his palms, and metal sheets similar to scales.
After putting it on, he spread the bags on the table, and the broken sword fragments inside were piece by piece. Cui Yi also came over and took out a box from his arms. There were some fragments inside. He just pinched them with his hands and kept helping Lao Xu fill the defects.
Chen Jiu was stunned. If they didn't know about the skillful techniques of these two people, they would definitely think that they were either from Maoshan School or Taiyi School, or they were fiddling with poison all year round, which was too unreasonable.
At this moment, Lao Xu had already put together the broken sword, pinched the hilt of the broken sword, and tried to inject internal force. With the blue light flashing, these broken sword fragments seemed to be alive, and they directly clicked and completely fitted, returning to the original state.
Old Xu pinched the sword body with both hands, looked up and down carefully, and stopped moving as he turned over.
"Hey, this is actually the sword of Taiyi Sect!"
Chen Jiu approached and followed Lao Xu's pointing and looked over.
Sure enough, it says that Taiyi Zonghong Yidao Ren is eight characters, with vigorous and powerful handwriting, and the font has the feeling of Taoist bones and fairy style.
This discovery made Chen Jiu stunned because the master only said that He Zhenren had such a trick, and did not say that such a sword was actually forged by Taiyi Sect.
"this"
Seeing that everyone was not clear about it, Lao Xu quickly continued:
"Taiyi Sect is good at forging and has made many long swords. However, unless these swords are extraordinary, they will be given to the disciples of the sect. The remaining defective products that have been screened will be destroyed specifically on the back mountain of the Immortal Island, so the back mountain of Taiyi Sect is also called Broken Sword Mountain.
I followed the master to see it. The master once said that when I looked down from the cliff, there was a silver light, but after we went there, there was no fragment found. The master sighed and said:
It seems that even if Taiyi Sect leaves, it will be used by Maoshan Sect. These broken swords are obtained by them and will not be used as a good place.
I don’t know what liquid they soaked such a broken sword in, so that the broken sword changed its original state. As long as they gathered together and collided with each other, they could recover into a long sword. With the internal force, they could become a broken sword scattered."
Zhou Ze suddenly realized that these two sects really fell in love and killed each other. Taiyi sect is good at curing diseases and saving people, giving alms of rice and grain, and forging weapons. The Maoshan sect is to make poisons, talismans, catch ghosts, and kill monsters.
However, using Taiyi Sect's sword to kill the world, making Taiyi Sect not in the Tang Dynasty and still bear the reputation. This trick is indeed insulting.
Forty years, He Zhenren is now in his eighties. That means that he might have already taken control of the Maoshan Sect back then?
"Have your master ever said that forty years ago, was He Zhenren who controlled the Maoshan Sect?"
Chen Jiu never thought about it.
"I said that the head of the Maoshan Sect was this Zhenren He. His real name was He Wenqing, and everyone called him the head of He.
At that time, he suddenly took over as the head of the Maoshan Sect. The master said he didn't know such a person at all, nor did he know where his master came from, as if he suddenly appeared.
Subsequently, conflicts and disputes began to arise between the Maoshan Sect and the Taiyi Sect, but He Wenqing was not considerate enough at that time, so the first time was not successful.
Then he disappeared for many years and turned into a saint's personal title. Why was He Zhenren He who was enfeoffed? How could he have some contact with the saint? I don't know about these. It took only a few years after that, Taiyi Sect suffered a catastrophe."
Zhou Ze seemed to have cleared up some relationship. He Zhenren took over the Maoshan faction at that time, and it seemed that it was not a serious method. Then he did it himself and started an eradication activity, but it did not cause any storm and almost killed himself.
Afterwards, everyone thought he disappeared, but he had some connection with the Liu family. As Queen Liu entered the palace together, she started to offer elixirs. Queen Liu had a crown prince. The old emperor thought it was because of He Zhenren, so he began to pay attention to him.
It was not until Zhang Tianshi, the demon hunting department, was seriously injured that He Zhenren showed his ability to Maoshan Sect. Perhaps he would have given the elixir of immortality at that time.
He gained trust and was named a real person. He became even more unscrupulous. Finally, fifteen years ago, he played with that move and directly cleaned up Taiyi Sect from the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Ze wanted to applaud him, but it was really good to play from a person who had nothing to know where he came from, to the head of a sect, and then to a height similar to the national teacher.
However, he should not have encountered party struggles and should not have participated in the battle for the throne. This step will naturally lead to failure and show his shortcomings.
If you want to defeat him, you either suppress the Maoshan Sect into a rat crossing the street, or you will start from the direction of the prince, so that he will lose his position as crown prince and will never be able to turn over again.
In this way, even if the Maoshan faction has status, it will be boycotted by the court.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze put away his thoughts and looked at Chen Jiu.
I said thank you, asked what I wanted to ask, and the business was on the right track. A Zheng and Liu Xiangzhong have been in contact with each other, and the business is changing with each passing day. He is not worried about these things.
It is unknown where their Chen family's heart is, especially Chen Zhongyou, the Minister of Revenue of the Chen family, is very important, and it is difficult for him not to stand in the capital.
"I forgot to ask Miss Chen Jiu before, who is your Chen family, Chen Shangshu, who is your person?"
Chen Jiu was not surprised at all, and grabbed the round fan and slapped it in a look. His eyelashes slowly rose up and he looked at Zhou Ze.
"My third uncle who has not been in the fifth session, his father is my grandfather's younger brother. I have never seen him. He only communicates with the Chen family with letters, and he is also scolding and reminding words. The general idea is not to cause trouble.
He also asked that no one in the next generation should participate in the imperial examinations, and even if he went to Beijing, he would not go to the Shangshu Mansion. He also found the head of the Chen family. According to the records in the genealogy, their family had been separated forty years ago. Outsiders think that we are a family, but it doesn’t matter at all."
Zhou Ze suddenly realized that good guy made arrangements early, but he only used the Chen family's gold and silver resources, but the boundaries between him and the Chen family were clear, and he could not interfere with anything.
However, the Tang Dynasty did not restrict merchants from participating in the imperial examinations, so why?
"It's strange. Then he didn't know if you participated in the imperial examination at that time?"
Chen Jiu paused his fan and glanced at Zhou Ze.
"He only learned about it after being kidnapped by bandits. He wrote a letter to scold my father. His words were quite sharp, saying that we were traitors to do so by using his name. Anyway, he said a lot. Later, my father and I took over the Chen family, and he never came to the letter again."
Zhou Ze nodded. He thought that Chen Jiu was kidnapped and was a drama directed and acted by himself. It seems that this is not the case. Perhaps Chen Jiu really wanted to try it in an imperial examination.
Whether it is proving one's ability or experiencing the privileges of a man once, being robbed was obviously part of their expectations, but Chen Shangshu's reprimand seemed to be a bit over.
"Based on your control over the Chen family information, can you tell who Chen Shangshu supports?"
Chen Jiu laughed in front of the ball.
"Young Master Zhou just said it directly if you want to ask. There is no need to lay such a prelude. I naturally cannot be in control of the Chen family in such a way.
I don’t know if the Maoshan School had participated in the actions of the first Maoshan School, but he wanted to embezzle the Chen family’s heart, but it has not changed for many years. After all, he asked the Chen family for a lot of gold and silver every year, and it has increased exponentially.
I was very curious and asked for some information. It turned out that after the crown prince was appointed as the crown prince, the third uncle stood directly in the crown prince's camp, and that was why he became the Minister of Revenue from the Minister of Revenue.
Because the original Minister of Revenue supported the second prince, corruption was later found out, and the Chen family was the Chen family, and it had nothing to do with Chen Zhongyou."
This sentence is uncovered and can be regarded as a sign of what the Chen family is. It is definitely not like her third uncle. Zhou Ze suddenly realized.
"Your third uncle reported it?"
