Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 214

Lending, abducting, forging official seals, taking private lives, oppressing tenants...

Chen Shan is too familiar with all the crimes recorded on this page!
As the chief steward of the Chen Mansion, Chen Shan is very aware of the arrogance of his subordinates.

It's just that for a big family, these things are like scabies, which cannot be eradicated, so Chen Shan just turns a blind eye.

As long as things don't go too far, let the servants in the house do it.

But Chen Shan forgot one thing.

That is, the reason why no one has pursued these matters of the Chen family before is because the big shots who serve as the prefect of Xuzhou and even the governor of Xuzhou have their requests from the Chen family.

But now, Xuzhou has changed owners!

Before the Chen family reached an alliance with Yuan Tan, these crimes could be uncovered by Yuan Tan at any time, and used to deal with the Chen family!

What Chen Shan is even more afraid of is that there are several lawsuits on this page, but he has also participated in them and played a very disgraceful role.

If it is really pursued, the Chen family may not be too hurt, at best it will be fined some gold and silver.

But he, the so-called chief executive of the Chen family, will definitely be thrown out to take the blame at that time!
Fortunately, Yuan Zhoumu left this page, which means that he will no longer pursue these matters, at least, he will no longer pursue these lawsuits on this page.

Chen Shan wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and hastily called a few of his confidants to hold this piece of paper.

Drive out the housekeepers who have been recorded in the above record!

"Sir, this..."

After listening to Chen Shan's order, those few trusted followers showed embarrassment.

After all, the shortest of the housekeepers that Chen Shan asked them to drive out had also worked in the Chen residence for nearly ten years.

Even with Chen Deng and Patriarch Chen, they could say a few words.

Although Mr. Chen said that he was always in charge of household affairs, he really wanted to drive these people out with one word.

They still have some doubts in their hearts.

Looking at these cronies who showed fear, Chen Shan stomped his feet fiercely and said:
"Don't do this, you just drive people away. If someone refuses to follow, just lead the guards to beat them out! How to deal with Liu Wu before, how to deal with them!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Shan was afraid that they might still have scruples, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't worry, I have already reported this matter to the Patriarch, and the Patriarch has already nodded, so don't be afraid of taking responsibility!"

Hearing that Chen Shan said that Chen Deng had already nodded in agreement, those cronies were relieved, and immediately nodded and clasped their fists fiercely, and hurried down.

Seeing these cronies start to do things according to the orders, Chen Shan finally felt relieved a little, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the main hall of Chen's mansion, his eyes were full of worry.

This General Yuan Tan's methods are really ruthless, completely different from those Xuzhou pastors before.

Among other things, at least when Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu were in Xuzhou, his fame spread all over the world, and he never said that he would not let go of such trivial matters.

That's right!

Even if he was taught a lesson by Yuan Tan, in the eyes of Chen Shan and even the Chen family.

These private and lawsuits have killed people, oppressed tenants, lent money to private people and charged heavy interest, etc.

These are just trivial matters that cannot be put on the table!

……

Although Yuan Tan doesn't know what Chen Deng, Chen Shan and others think, he has been in this era for so long.

He already knew very clearly about the pissing nature of these so-called aristocratic families.

It is just their routine operation not to treat the lower class people as human beings.

Therefore, Yuan Tan had no intention from the beginning to use the charges on that page to deal with the Chen family.

If these crimes were used directly, it would be nothing more than a trivial matter for these aristocratic families.

After all, the Han Dynasty had a wonderful policy starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

That is penalty atonement!
At that time, Ma Qian of the Taishi Company was sentenced to castration because his family was poor and could not afford the fine.

But for the Chen family, and even those wealthy families in the countryside of Xuzhou, a mere fine is nothing at all.

Therefore, in order to deal with these powerful families, another method must be used.

Yuan Tan looked at the seemingly simple but secretly luxurious furnishings in the main hall. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he sneered silently.

The layout in the lobby of the Chen Mansion is quite simple, just a few chairs and a wooden table.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that whether it is a wooden chair or a long table, the value of the wood used is comparable to the same weight of silver.

"Golden jade is beyond..."

Yuan Tan sat unceremoniously on the main seat, gently tapping the sandalwood table with his index finger, and smiled a little coldly.

Gao Lan didn't sit down, but stood behind Yuan Tan, with one hand on the scabbard around his waist all the time.

For a wealthy family like the Chen family, Gao Lan was always not at ease.

Looking at the nervous Gao Lan, Yuan Tan smiled and said:

"Brother Gao, don't be too nervous. You can sit down too. Come on, why don't you serve tea?"

While calling Gao Lan to sit down, Yuan Tan said to the two servants standing outside the door.

The two servants looked at each other in blank dismay. Fortunately, Chen Deng had already explained that no matter what the guests in the main hall asked, they would satisfy them.

Even if the lord said to warm the bed for the daughter of the Chen family, the two servants would quickly find a maid to bring it to her.

The two servants here hurried down, and Gao Lan, who finally got a hole, scanned the surroundings to confirm that there were no servants of the Chen family nearby.

Only then did he cautiously say to Yuan Tan:

"Major General, what does it mean that Chen Deng took us to the main hall and left us to wait here?"

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"Brother Gao, don't think too much. This is what I told Chen Yuanlong. I don't have the heart to participate in the grand ceremony of changing the head of the Chen family. After he finishes his work, he will naturally come to meet us."

Hearing Yuan Tan's explanation, Gao Lan felt relieved, but was taken aback a moment later:
"What does the major general mean, that you don't want to attend the grand ceremony of the Chen family?"

God is pitiful, at first Gao Lan thought that Yuan Tan was so stubborn in wanting to come to the Chen family because he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chen family ceremony.

Meet with the major families in Xuzhou, and establish a foundation for communication with the major families in Xuzhou in the future.

But he didn't expect that in the end, Yuan Tan never planned to attend the Chen family ceremony from the very beginning?

Seeing Gao Lan's color change in an instant, Yuan Tan couldn't help but burst out laughing. He patted Gao Lan's shoulder lightly and said:

"Brother Gao, although you can't underestimate this family, you don't have to take them too seriously, as long as you treat them with a normal heart."

Hearing Yuan Tan's reassuring words, Gao Lan forced a wry smile, wanting to say something more.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

Because Yuan Tan said softly again:
"Don't forget, for Xuzhou, we are now out-and-out outsiders."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Gao Lan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in a sudden realization.
