Chapter 443 The envoys are coming!
Shen Zhao followed the crowd and went in, had a delicious meal, and then left.
When Manager Zhong saw that the restaurant was full, he looked even more satisfied.
Here, the years are peaceful.
Over there, the Chen siblings were scolded as soon as they returned.
"Kneel down, everyone!"
Grandfather Chen sat at the top, staring at the two unfilial descendants who had just returned with burning eyes.
There was another person kneeling below, tears streaming down his face.
This is Li Zhou who just confessed his guilt to Grandfather Chen.
The Chen siblings looked at each other and thought something was not good.
Intimidated by Grandfather Chen's power, the Chen brothers and sisters knelt down obediently.
Grandfather Chen slapped the armrest of the chair and scolded him harshly.
"Chen Yingchao, Chen Yingzi.
I taught you to scheme against others, to take advantage of others' misfortunes, and to be relentless.
Did I teach you all this?"
Grandfather Chen looked unhappy. When he heard the news from the restaurant, his heart was broken.
After all, he is the captain of Lin Jincheng's guards and has some power.
He wouldn't be so bold as to let the news get out that his grandchildren wanted to seize someone else's restaurant by relying on a calculated deed.
Especially since Grandfather Chen had some rivals who were trying to find his weakness.
Grandfather Chen would not allow his reputation to be ruined.
Therefore, Grandfather Chen scolded the Chen brothers and sisters severely and then punished Li Zhou severely.
Then he sent someone to privately reach a settlement with Manager Zhong and signed the real contract.
The farce finally came to an end.
On the way back, Shen Zhao listened to what Guagua was telling him and could see the real-time scenes. He commented from time to time,
[Guagua, Grandfather Chen at least understands the importance of stopping in time.
If he really wants to take over the restaurant owned by Manager Zhong, it would be too much.
But Grandfather Chen did give in on this matter.
Neither Li Zhou was sent to see the official, nor was the land taken back.
He also signed a new contract with Shopkeeper Zhong in his own name, allowing Shopkeeper Zhong to run the restaurant with peace of mind.
Guagua: [This is also a good decision.
After all, this matter has become a big deal, and the Chen family has no advantage to gain.
But on second thought, Grandfather Chen also gained a good reputation from it.
Grandfather Chen will send someone to do some secret propaganda later.
Even though he was kept in the dark by his servants and grandson and knew nothing about it, he did not do anything bad by taking advantage of his power to bully others. He always remained kind in his heart and did not plot against Manager Zhong's restaurant.
In this way, the Chen family's reputation will be further enhanced.
It would be a small help for the descendants of the Chen family who want to take the imperial examinations.
After all, the most important thing in the imperial examination is reputation.
Having a grandfather who doesn't care about personal gain and only sticks to the right path is better. 】
Shen Zhao complained, [Gua Gua, have you forgotten?
Having a calculating brother or sister won't make the imperial examination any easier. 】
Gua Gua paused and said, "Host, don't say anything."
This back and forth can be considered to offset the effect.
Grandfather Chen even sent the Chen siblings to the countryside to reflect on their actions.
After all, it still gives the people a satisfactory answer. 】
Shen Zhao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the Chen family."
Can you tell me whether Shen Siya's system can be recovered? 】
Gua Gua: [Host, please wait for me for a moment.
I need to check the progress. 】
After a while, Guagua came back and replied happily,
[Host, just one last point.]
Shen Siya was disliked by more noble ladies because of the hot spring incident.
The lady did not express it directly due to her current title of "Saint".
But in fact, this grudge has already been remembered.
However, a few days ago, when Shen Siya and her group were fleeing famine, Shen Siya saved another person.
It was this person who added a little more energy to her system. 】
Shen Zhao: [Gua Gua, I even suspect that Shen Siya is an indestructible cockroach.
I originally thought that if I tried harder here and gave her one last killing blow, I could recover the system.
But I didn't expect her to try again and get up again. 】
Gua Gua comforted him skillfully, "Host, don't worry.
As long as we work hard, system recycling will be successful.
Besides, it’s time for people from the Great Jin capital to come.
This time, a delegation of envoys came, and all the people in it were heavyweights.
We take this opportunity to eat some melons and stir up trouble. 】
Shen Zhao had already returned to his room in the inn and was lying on the bed when he heard this and said in surprise,
[The envoys have arrived. Is the Great Jin going to ask for peace with us? ]
Guagua broke her beautiful fantasy,
[Host, you think too much.]
This Linjin City is a city on the side of Dajin.
Logically speaking, they didn't lose anything.
At most, they returned the captured Linyang City.
As long as they still have soldiers and food, they can continue to fight.
Besides, the Jin Dynasty attacked with great force this time.
If they let them go, they will eventually turn Daqi into their territory.
Now that I have suffered a blow, how can I give up? 】
Shen Zhao stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one.
[But as for the soldiers, I remember that the Jin Dynasty suffered a direct loss of nearly 50,000 soldiers out of the 150,000 soldiers in this incident.
I have stored all the food and fodder into the space.
I also planned to make the commander-in-chief, Ji You, need to recuperate for a month.
Without men, food, or a commander, what are they fighting for? 】
Guagua: [That’s why we need this delegation of envoys.
His Majesty the Great Jin will not give up this attack plan.
He mobilized another 100,000 troops, and the envoys came with a mission.
Not only did he bring soldiers and food, he also sent a new commander. 】
Shen Zhao: [Oh, Ji You was replaced so soon?
Ji You is the husband of the eldest princess after all, and he fought for the Jin Dynasty for many years. How could he be demoted like this? No respect at all? 】
Guagua explained,
[Because everything that happened during this period was reported to the Great Jin at full speed.
Ji You, as the commander, made such a mistake.
The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was dissatisfied with the loss of the city of Linyang.
In addition, the eldest princess heard that Ji You attacked Shen Siya because of his lust, which led to this result, and she had no intention of saying anything good for him.
More importantly, Ji You needs to recover from his injury and cannot play in person.
For reasons like these, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty finally sent a new leader.
In principle, Ji You has to listen to him.
There are also those envoys and the confidants sent by the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
When necessary, the main general can be directly controlled. 】
Shen Zhao's eyes flashed with interest. It looked like Lin Jincheng was going to have a good show.
Shen Zhao: [Guagua, when will the envoys arrive? ]
Guagua: [It will probably take two more days.]
It won't be that fast. Even if we divide the troops and food into several groups, it will still take time. 】
Shen Zhao: [Okay, we’ll have to wait two days to watch the fun.
What a pity, what should I do during this time? 】
Gua Gua: [Host, I suggest you go to the prefect's mansion tomorrow.
Tuoba Chen takes action! 】
Shen Zhao: [Action? ?
What do you mean, did Tuoba Chen really do something? 】
