Lan'er frowned and looked at Hongxiu, Tianxiang, and Xu Erniang, the three "confidants" with a serious expression: "Defense is the most difficult thing to guard against, but Alang doesn't believe me. We must be dirty and caught. Catch that little thief!"

Sisters Hongxiu and Tianxiang held the sword and said with a hurry: "Sister Lan'er, don't worry, our sisters practiced martial arts hard and finally achieved a little success. As long as we see that little thief, we will definitely tie you up."

Xu Erniang said worriedly: "Do you want to tell Liang Zan and ask him to send a few personal guards?"

Chen Ying was promoted to the title of Duke of Pengcheng County, and now he can have thirty-six entourages of armored soldiers. At this time, the Chen Mansion had its own armed defense. Xu Erniang felt that the majestic soldiers in the front yard had an inexplicable sense of security.

Lan'er shook her head and said, "It's just that little girl, it's not the turn of General Manager Liang to take action. To deal with her, we'll be enough!"

After dinner, Xu Erniang, under Lan'er's instruction, sent the chef and servants in the kitchen.

After about half a stick of incense, Gao Wenjin looked around and touched the kitchen. After a while, his lower abdomen slightly raised.

However, Gao Wenjin, a little stupid thief, probably was also a hand-made man, and he didn't notice anyone secretly peeking. After entering the kitchen, Xu Erniang pointed to a braised chicken hanging in a bamboo basket and said, "One braised chicken is missing, and one cooked meat is also a piece of dough cake."

Although Hongxiu was dissatisfied with Gao Wenjin's stealing, when she thought that she was stealing all meat, she instantly thought of Gao Wenjin's thin brother, and frowned and said, "Did she give this meat to her younger brother Gao Huaide?"

Lan'er shook her head and said, "Impossible. I've seen it. Today, Gao Huaide ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of broth. He was burping and his belly was full. If he gave it to him, he would not be afraid that he would die!"

Xu Erniang said, "Why should we go and see who she gives these meat to?"

Lan'er nodded and said, "Yes!"

Gao Wenjin left Chen's mansion, walked out of the alley all the way out of the gate, and came to a dilapidated temple in Nanxiang. This temple does not worship the gods with names, but the hero Zuti of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The temple is very small, with only three short rooms. There is a statue of a god in the center of the three houses. It looks like a glaring and tense general. However, because it took too long, the paint on the statue was already mottled.

This temple called General Temple, without temple blessings, had already been cut off and later became a place for homeless people to live. However, due to the leaking roof and the air flowing on all sides, even homeless people did not live in this temple.

Gao Wenjin came to the dark general temple and took out a fire note and a piece of candle less than five inches long from her arms.

Lan'er watched Gao Wenjin enter the General Temple and said jealously: "I didn't expect that this bean sprout is still loved by someone."

The candle emits a faint light, and a person lies under the statue of the god.

Lan'er couldn't wait to rush in, and turned around and took advantage of the low light from the temple. She saw Xu Erniang making a finger that stopped her.

Lan'er finally stopped struggling and stared at the temple through the window lattice.

Because Gao Wenjin's body was blocking her, Lan'er couldn't see who was in front of the statue, but judging from her exposed big feet, she should be a man.

Lan'er's teeth were chewing, and her body was trembling with anger. In Lan'er's eyes, all the women in the Chen family, including Xu Erniang, should belong to Chen Ying alone. Unless Chen Ying doesn't like Gao Wenjin and assigns Gao Wenjin to others as their wives, Gao Wenjin will definitely have no right to hook up with outsiders.

And he secretly stole the food from home to raise men outside.

After seeing Mo Yue for about half a stick of incense, Lan'er could no longer watch it. She pushed Xu Erniang away and rushed into the temple and shouted: "Gao Wenjin, you slut..."

The two girls of Hongxiu Tianxiang pulled out the sword with a clang, and pulled the sword from left to right and stabbed the man in front of the statue.

However, the sword in the hands of sisters Hongxiu and Tianxiang could not stab at all, and even Lan'er could not curse.

There was indeed a man lying in front of the statue, but this man was a little old, his hair and beard were gray and gray. However, this man's hair was like a weed and could not see his face clearly. In fact, this was no longer important. Such a disabled body, Gao Wenjin could not like such a person unless he was blind.

The man was originally eating braised chicken voraciously, but at this moment he stopped, wiped the fat oil from his mouth, and asked with a puzzled look: "Jin Niang, who are they? The maids in the mansion?"

Gao Wenjin was so scared that her face looked like a dirt. She quickly knelt to Lan'er and stammered: "Sister Lan'er..."

...

"Is it what you wish now?" Chen Ying turned around and looked at Lan'er and said, "Are you going to tie up or report to the official?"

"Ah!" Lan'er murmured: "How could this happen?"

Lan'er told Chen Ying that Gao Wenjin had stole the legs of lamb, and said that he would prevent the thief from being able to prevent the family. Who would have thought that Chen Ying and Lan'er were staring at Gao Wenjin secretly, but they never thought that Gao Wenjin had stole the legs of lamb and the chicken, for not himself, but for Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was four orphans adopted by Gao Ying at that time. He was given the surname Gao and named Feng, Ji, Yu, Shun. Gao Shun was the last one. When Gao Ying died, Feng, Ji, and Yu all committed suicide to the master, but Gao Shun survived.

If he had such a retainer secretly took care of him, he would probably not be able to survive. When Gao Wenjin remembered that Gao Shun returned to Chang'an three years ago, there was no news since then. Who knew that when he was buying a house, he accidentally discovered Gao Shun, who became a beggar. At that time, Gao Shun was beaten to vomit blood, but he had no ability to resist.

Especially looking at Gao Shun's bulging belly, Gao Wenjin realized that Gao Shun had been ill three years ago, but he also had no money to treat him, and he didn't even have the ability to beg.

Gao Wenjin remembered Gao Shun, who looked at Gao Shun with pitifulness and stole lamb legs and braised chicken from the mansion for Gao Shun to eat. Because Gao Shun told Gao Wenjin that he was dying and had not eaten meat for more than a year. If he could eat meat before he died, he would never regret it in his life.

When Gao Wenjin heard this, he didn't think about anything at all. He tiptoed to the kitchen to steal meat and gave it to Gao Shun for food.

However, because Gao Wenjin was too inexperienced, she was both dirty and was captured.

Gao Wenjin said tearfully: "Brother Chen, please don't report to the official, I am willing to do anything!"

Chen Ying sighed and cried as she looked at Gao Wenjin and said lightly: "The monthly rate is reduced by half to serve as a warning to others."

"Ah!" Gao Wenjin really didn't expect that Chen Ying would deal with her like this. If she dealt with her like this, it would almost mean that she would not be dealt with.

Chen Ying didn't take any meat to heart.

Chen Ying sighed inwardly, and had to admire God's eyes. He could see clearly who is kind and who is vicious.

Although Gao Ying was dead, Gao Ying's retainers actually loyal to Gao Ying and tried their best to take care of Gao Ying's descendants. However, Gao Ying's descendants were willing to be thieves for their retainers.

This world is really fair. Only sincerity is true and true.

The world is fair, and Chen Ying quickly felt such a truth.

Since he was at Weize Pass, Ge Tong has built spring steel according to Chen Ying's wishes. After repeated failures, Ge Tong led his apprentice to try and waste a total of three thousand kilograms of steel. Three thousand kilograms of steel is only one and a half tons, which is not worth much in later generations, but in this era, it is a considerable number.

In this era, iron is more than one hundred yuan per catty, and steel is three times that of iron. Three thousand kilograms of steel are equivalent to nine thousand kilograms of iron. With the cost of charcoal and labor, it was nearly more than three million yuan in just two months. Even though Chen Ying was not poor, the 30 million yuan almost emptied Chen Ying's family.

Fortunately, the effort is easy, Ge Tong finally succeeded.

Looking at the spring steel in front of him, Chen Ying struggled to press the spring down again and again, and the spring quickly returned.

Chen Ying pressed down again and was bounced back by the spring again. After doing it dozens of times, Chen Ying was happy and not exhausted.
