After hearing the news, the Chen clan members surrounded the Taoist group, and their angry voices became louder and louder.
The officers and soldiers were terrified and kept retreating, as if they were about to be swallowed by the roaring waves.
Only Daotong stood like a rock in the raging waves, looking around with a calm expression, and asked loudly: "Are your Chen family planning to rebel again?"
"What's wrong with the rebellion!" The Chen family members really didn't take the rebellion seriously and shouted loudly: "It's the government that's messing with us, so let's fuck his mother!"
"Clan Chief Chen, what do you say?" Daotong looked at Chen Boyun coldly.
"Shut up, everyone, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Boyun then scolded the clan members, and a group of second-fang clan leaders also shouted: "Quiet, quiet!"
"..." The angry Chen clan members gradually fell silent.
"The tribesmen were so angry that they shocked Dao Zedai. I will apologize to you." Chen Boyun cupped his hands and said to Dao Tonggong: "Just now, you just said something out of anger, you can't take it seriously."
His meaning is very clear, it's almost okay, let's not take each other's words seriously, each of us should take a step back and go back to our respective homes to find our respective mothers.
"So you are willing to go with me?" Daotong didn't know what it meant to get off the slope, so he still chose to face the situation head on.
"You!" Seeing how dishonest he was, Chen Boyun immediately lowered his face and said coldly: "Your Highness, please don't mention such unrealistic words again, so as not to hurt your harmony."
"Why is this unrealistic? Are you a Bodhisattva in the temple or a mother-in-law who has been pregnant for ten months? You can't even move a province or even a small platform to bring someone in?" Daotong also darkened his face and said more and more harshly: " Understand, I am here to arrest someone under the order of the King of Chu!"
After a pause, he cupped his hands toward the west and said in a loud voice: "The King of Chu is the current sixth prince and the imperial envoy to governor Guangzhou. He represents the current emperor. To disobey his orders is to disobey the emperor!"
"Anyway, today you clan leaders or the suspects on the list must be taken back by me, otherwise..." Daotong said this and paused deliberately.
"Otherwise, what happens?!" The second-term patriarchs of the Chen family really cooperated and asked angrily.
"Otherwise, it will be punished as a rebellion!" Daotong replied word by word, word by word like a knife: "Next time, it will not be me, but the imperial army's anti-rebellion army!"
"Hehehe..." Chen Boyun, who had always been trying to make ends meet, finally couldn't make excuses anymore, so he laughed and said: "I'm really skilled at doing this job, but it's a pity that I'm not intimidated." .Stop using the word 'rebellion' to scare me, I tell you, our Chen family cannot be scared."
"I didn't scare you. You resisted the imperial envoy's order and refused to carry out the order of the provincial governor. May I ask Chief Chen, if this is not rebellion, what is it?" Daotong said coldly: "If the imperial court does not suppress the rebellion, what will happen? Is Guangdong still the world of Ming Dynasty?"
"..." This is all obvious truth. Chen Boyun was speechless and could only sneer: "If my Chen family really takes that step, I will be forced by you. But we have the ability to rebel, do you have the ability to counter the rebellion? ?”
"Joke." Daotong couldn't help laughing and said: "I, Emperor Hongwu, have driven away the Tartars, wiped out Liuhe, and are invincible in the world. Do you think I have the ability to suppress the rebellion?!"
"Of course the imperial court is capable, but what is the situation now, do you think I don't know?" Chen Boyun pointed to the west and said: "The army of 100,000 soldiers marching south is ready to march to Yunnan. As the rear area, Guangdong is responsible for the front line.
Providing food, wages and military supplies is a heavy responsibility and irreplaceable!"
"If you really want to drive us to a dead end, do you think it's as simple as forcing us to rebel against my family?" As he spoke, he opened his hands and said domineeringly: "No, you are wrong. Our clans in Guangdong are united and prosperous.
If you lose everything, everyone will respond! When Guangdong becomes a mess and misses the imperial court's plan to recover Yunnan, do you think the emperor will let your King of Chu mess around?"
"That's right, once the King of Chu leaves, you are nothing!" All the clan leaders of the second clan agreed: "Do you really think you have become the inspector? What if you really do? In the end, you won't be able to take the blame for the King of Chu?!"
"No matter how hard you die, you can't stop a person from being rescued from the execution platform. If you don't just live an ignoble life, you will continue to seek death!"
The Chen clan members were also gearing up, and as soon as the patriarch said a word, they rushed forward and blasted these imperial eagle dogs.
The soldiers and officers were all desperate. Mr. Tai just went down like this, and it would be unreasonable for them not to take action.
"Okay, okay, I have written down what I said today. I hope you will still be so tough next time." Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was about to explode, Daotong suddenly called for gold and retreated his troops.
"Uh..." Chen Boyun finally made up his mind, but as if he was punched on cotton, he was almost knocked to the waist. "Don't you want to take us back to Taiwan?"
"Are you coming with me?" Daotong asked expressionlessly.
Chen Boyun shook his head.
"You are outnumbered and determined to fight to the end. What can I do?" Daotong spread his hands and said, "I can only go back home. Why, you still have to take care of the food?"
"I just finished breakfast..." Chen Boyun said speechlessly.
"Goodbye then." Daotong said and stepped out.
The Chen clan members looked at the chief clan leader, Chen Boyun waved his hand, and they made way out of the way and watched the group leave.
"Second brother, send me to the funeral home." Chen Boyun ordered his brother, but he didn't move. When the situation got to this point, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.
After the clan members also left the ancestral hall, Chen Bojin came over, looked at the gloomy patriarch and said, "Is Daotong cowardly?"
"Would someone like Daotong be a coward?" Chen Boyun asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Chen Bojin was convinced, but he became more and more confused: "When the King of Chu didn't come, he would have killed Yongjiahou. Now that he has a backer, there is no reason to shrink back."
"But he just backed down, and he said it so categorically without leaving any room." Chen Boyun said with confusion on his face: "The change between before and after is so great that it is difficult not to doubt that he did it on purpose."
"What does he want to do? What can he do?" Chen Bojin said disapprovingly: "As the eldest brother said, Guangdong is a stable place now. Even the King of Chu does not dare to push us too far, otherwise why would he tell Boss He?
Where’s the recruitment?”
"I saw that he was promoted to the rank of Inspector. He was so happy that he felt dizzy and his whole body was swollen." Chen Bojin spat: "It turned out that we still didn't buy his fault, and he gave in again..."
"..." Chen Boyun glanced at him and said angrily: "Before coming to our Chen's house, he didn't know how many times he thought about what to say and how to do. Every word and every decision was carefully considered.
!”
At this time, a clan member quickly walked into the ancestral hall and said with a strange expression: "Grand Chief, you'd better come out and take a look."
