He couldn't help but say, "Don't forget, the imperial court isn't just looking for me, it's also for you, the remnants of the Chen family! Even if Chen Shao and I die here, the imperial court won't let you go!"
However, the Chen family members present were not panicked, but smiled coldly.
One of them said, "We've been on the island for many years, and our former identities are long gone. What does the imperial court's arrest of the Chen family's remnants have to do with us, the overseas islanders?"
As early as the fall of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, people on Langhuan Island were already in unrest.
However, Chen Shao had Jia Rui as his helper at that time, so he was able to barely stabilize the situation.
If nothing had happened to the Jia family, Chen Shao would have always had the support of the Jia family.
Unfortunately, the Jia family also met with trouble soon after, and Jia Rui became a wanted criminal. He had to take the risk to enter the Zhou Palace and seek revenge from the king.
He had already successfully taken root around King Zhou and gained his trust.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, he can use the power of King Zhou to continue to support Chen Shao.
Unfortunately, not long after, Jia Rui died tragically at the hands of King Zhou.
Chen Shao had to find another way out.
He knew that Luo Zheng once had a son, so he specially sent people to find a young man who looked like Luo Zheng and was of the same age, hoping that the young man would pretend to be Luo Zheng's son and lurk around Luo Zheng.
But it is not easy to make a boy of this age behave well.
Even if he is temporarily afraid of his power and obeys him on the surface, once he comes to Luo Zheng and becomes Luo Zheng's son, he will definitely not be obedient anymore, and may even find ways to bite him back.
That's why he wanted to train the other party first, to ensure that the other party would always be obedient and hate Luo Zheng to the core.
Who knew that his training had just begun when such a big thing happened on the island!
Chen Shao absolutely did not believe that all this was because of that young man.
He had carefully confirmed the man's identity. He was just a young farm boy and definitely had no special identity or background.
He specially sent someone to pretend to be a servant of a wealthy family to look for his relatives, and mistook the young man for the lost young master of the wealthy family, and gave his family twenty taels of silver as a thank-you gift.
The boy's family was indeed greedy. They lied and said that they had adopted the boy and accepted the money.
They let their own child pretend to be the lost young master of a wealthy family and accepted a thank-you gift of twenty taels of silver. They must have felt very guilty and would never tell this to outsiders or even report it to the authorities.
So this matter can be said to have been done without anyone knowing.
How could such an ordinary farmer's son attract such a terrible enemy?
It must be just a coincidence!
But this is really strange. The other party came at night and was able to find Langhuan Island easily and get on the island without anyone noticing!
Unless there is an insider on the island, it is absolutely impossible!
Who could that person be?
Chen Shao looked at the leaders present, and after his gaze swept over the Chen family members one by one, he fell on those people from other families.
The imperial court is still looking for the remnants of the Chen family. It is unlikely that these Chen family members are colluding with the imperial court. The most likely ones are these outsiders.
Chen Shao secretly regretted in his heart. Because he knew his identity, he was worried that one day his identity would be exposed and the Chen family on the island would turn against him.
Therefore, they had to find ways to suppress the Chen family on the island and support people from other families.
Although Duke Cheng'en was dissatisfied at the time, he thought that he had grown too powerful and did not want to be restricted, so he was quite tolerant of his actions and did not try his best to stop him.
Who would have thought that once the Cheng'en Mansion fell, these outsiders would want to retaliate against him, the island owner!
What a bunch of ungrateful wolves!
Chen Shao gnashed his teeth and said, "I've treated you well, but now you're repaying my kindness with hatred. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
