When Chen Hu found his father, the latter was discussing with the elders, the chief steward Ikkyu and others how to deal with the hijacking of the escort team.
"Chen Hu? Why did you rush in in such a hurry? Didn't you see that your father was busy?" Chen Jinyang's face dropped and he asked angrily.
But in fact, what the old guy really wants to say is: "Why haven't you followed the plan to trick Chen Shen and the little princess out of the city? Your brother has already succeeded!"
"The escort team has been robbed. It's a serious matter and I won't be able to delay it for too long..."
It turned out that this old guy actually sent his two sons to act separately: the eldest son Chenxiong led people to hijack the Chen family's escort team, and found someone to talk things over at the most appropriate time, and transferred the chief steward Ikkyu away from Chen Shen; the younger son
His son Chen Hu was responsible for leading Chen Shen and the princess outside the city to await the murder.
Chen Hu hesitated for a long time, then said with a slight embarrassment: "Father, my son... I want to ask you for a sum of money to spend money. I need it urgently."
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, all the "big shots" in the room looked at him with amused eyes: You are already in your twenties, and you still have the nerve to ask your father for money? How can you not?
There is no time to choose the occasion, it’s really...
Even Chen Jinyang turned pale with anger and scolded the younger son on the spot, but finally led him to a side hall, shouting and wailing all the way.
After entering the side hall and closing the door, Chen Zangfeng created a small-scale mysterious energy barrier to isolate the sound, and then asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? By the way, what's wrong with your nose...
"
Chen Hu had a bitter look on his face: "It wasn't that little beast Chen Shen who did it! This little injury is nothing, the main thing is that the little beast refused to follow me out of the city!"
Next, Chen Hu got rid of all Chen Shen's demands.
"What? You want a hundred kilograms of Five Elements Spiritual Stones? Are you kidding me?" Chen Jinyang blew his beard and glared.
After a long while, he quietly said: "By the way, he only said that there were five boxes full, but he didn't know the real weight. So, I already have a way to deal with it!"
Then, the great elder took it upon himself to do some tinkering. Chen Hu watched from the side, his eyes getting brighter and brighter: "Father, this trick is really good!"
"Humph, he's just a fool! If my father doesn't have something important to do, I can just find some ordinary stones and paint them with paint. How can I use the real Five Elements Spiritual Stone?"
Chen Jinyang smiled arrogantly, and then pushed the box that looked like it was filled with the Five Elements Spiritual Stones in front of Chen Hu: "Take it. When the work is done, bring it back to me, including the Five Elements of the little beast."
Get the spirit stones back together, do you understand?"
"Yes, I know what to do!" Chen Hu chuckled.
…
Not long after, Chen Hu returned to Chen Shen's small courtyard. The white light of the Space Xuan Ring flashed and he took out all five boxes: "Young Master Chen, everything you asked for has been delivered. This time, I am willing to go to the doctor with my clan brother.
Bar?"
"Oh! Is it easy for you to talk about me? To treat you, I have to use my brother's favor to pay you back, and I still need to advance money! It's really..."
This young man pretended to be grumbling, but in fact he was very happy.
Chen Shen opened the lids of the boxes one by one, and what he saw was indeed filled with colorful spiritual stones, but they were smaller ones, each weighing only one or two.
He picked up the small box, felt the weight, and his heart suddenly sank: "Huh? The total weight is only a little over four pounds? How can it be so light?"
Then, the young man poked out a touch of his soul to investigate, and suddenly understood: "Damn it, old bastard Chen Jinyang is playing tricks on me!"
It turned out that the size and capacity of the small box had not changed at all, but inside the box, about four-fifths of the way, a thin iron plate was inserted horizontally.
In other words, in each small box, the Five Elements Spiritual Stone only occupies one-fifth of the space, and the iron plate is completely empty! The five boxes together only hold twenty kilograms of spirit stones.
Chen Shen couldn't help but secretly cursed "old fox", but he really couldn't use the excuse of insufficient weight to bargain with Chen Hu.
Because this young man has not forgotten that he is still a "fool" now. Which fool can calculate accounts so clearly? If he really opens his mouth, it will definitely arouse Chen Hu's suspicion.
Ever since, Chen Shen simply pretended to be very satisfied, stacked the five boxes in his arms, and ran towards the bedroom excitedly - he was stupid, naturally he didn't know how to use the Space Mysterious Ring, so he just
Can hide all his "baby toys".
But in fact, the young man closed the door with his front foot and put all the sixty kilograms of old and new spirit stones into the space parcel with his back foot.
Chen Hu didn't know this, he was still eagerly thinking about the Five Elements Spiritual Stone that Chen Shen originally owned, which was a huge fortune!
So, under the pretext of peeing, he secretly ran to tell his cronies: "After we leave Chen Shen's courtyard, you can find an opportunity to go to Chen Shen's bedroom and find five...oh no, seven.
Small box, find a way to bring it out."
The confidant was slightly hesitant.
Chen Hu naturally knew what he was worried about, so he added in a low voice: "Don't worry, I just came out of that little beast's room, and there's not a single servant in there!"
"That old guy Chen Zangfeng has gone to court. The old butler won't be able to get away for a short time. No one will find you."
The other party then nodded fiercely: "I understand, little one."
When Chen Hu returned to the courtyard of Chen Mansion, the little princess was already eager to get on the road. Chen Shen no longer objected this time, and the three of them got on the same carriage under Chen Hu's arrangement.
Chen Hu volunteered to act as a temporary coachman and drove the carriage towards the south of the city...
Along the way, under the "supervised education" of the little princess, Chen Shen behaved very well. He didn't jump, make a fuss or get irritable, which made Chen Hu, who was driving the car, feel relieved. Otherwise, if he had made a fuss in the sedan chair, he would have
It's really hard to clean up.
How could he have thought that Chen Shen's "behaving well" was not the result of the little princess's discipline, but something he had deliberately done himself.
Chen Hu didn't want to attract the attention of others, but wanted to smoothly take Chen Shen and the little princess out of the city, hiding a murderous plot; how could Chen Shen not do the same?
"In order to lure the old housekeeper away, Chen Jinyang did not hesitate to stage the incident of the escort team being robbed. However, in this way, it is impossible for him and the elders to leave midway."
"As long as the elders don't take action, no matter how many others come, there's nothing to worry about. My eighteen bronze men are not vegetarians."
"What's more, since yesterday, I have been playing the role of a fool who has even forgotten the means to release my profound energy. Even if they want to trap me, they will not send out such a powerful character after all."
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Shen's heart moved, and his spiritual consciousness had sneaked into the puppet space...
