The Zongren Mansion, located on the south side of the imperial palace, is one of the five mansions and six departments of the Great Chu Dynasty.
However, this place is also the place where the entire harem, including the royal family members, least want to come.
Xiao Chen strolled all the way over and was stopped by two guards at the door.
"Where's the little eunuch!"
"How dare you break into the clan mansion?!"
Xiao Chen directly took out the token he got from Gu Nanfeng and shook it, "I am the head of the clan's mansion, get out of the way!"
"Head of the Clan's Mansion?"
The expressions of the two guards changed. After carefully identifying the sign, cold sweat broke out from their backs.
Tokens cannot be faked.
But how could he, a castrated dog, come to the clan mansion?
"Can I go in now?"
Xiao Chen said something coldly.
"Okay...of course it's okay. The villain was rude earlier."
The two guards quickly clasped their fists and saluted.
Seeing their respectful looks, Xiao Chen felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He was always inferior to others in the harem, but now they had to salute him.
Is this what power smells like?
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth raised slightly, it tasted very good. In this case, being a Zhao Gao or Wei Zhongxian seemed to be very good too!
The seeds of power sprout in the heart.
Stepping into the sect's mansion, Xiao Chen dressed in eunuch's clothes immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone seemed to be curious as to why a eunuch appeared here.
And at this time.
But a figure came over in surprise, "May I ask, who is Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Chen was startled and looked at the person in front of him.
He has a round body, a mustache on his big face, and a flattering smile.
He nodded and asked, "Who are you?"
"Back to Mr. Xiao, I'm Wei Zhongxian. Your Excellency asked me to follow you."
Wei Zhongxian? !
Xiao Chen's eyes twitched and he almost took a few steps back. This damn man, the greatest traitor of all time, has become my subordinate?
"My lord, what are you doing..."
Wei Zhongxian asked with some confusion.
"Ahem, it's okay."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Since you are under the orders of my lord, then tell me about the situation of this sect's mansion."
Wei Zhongxian rolled his green bean-like eyes, nodded and said, "Yes! Sir, please come with me first. This is the room where you work. Let's talk as we walk."
Xiao Chen nodded, "Let's go."
As the two walked along, Wei Zhongxian also talked about the situation in the clan's mansion, "The current Zongzheng of the clan's mansion is King Chu Jiang of Qinhuai, but the prince has lived in the palace for a long time and rarely comes to the clan's mansion."
"So now in the clan mansion, it is usually the clan's grandson, Wan Zusun, who has the final say."
King Chu Jiang of Qinhuai!
Xiao Chen was shocked. This prince was the uncle of the current Emperor of Chu, and his influence in the court was extremely huge.
Wei Zhongxian did not stop and continued to introduce, "As for the other Shangguan officials, the person in charge only needs to remember one person, Director Zhou Yuanqiao."
"Zhou Yuanqiao? Is there something special about him?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
Wei Zhongxian looked around and lowered his voice, "Because he is your direct superior, and he is the Zhou family, where the Prime Minister and Concubine Rong are!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
That old eunuch, are you deliberately playing tricks on me?
Knowing that Concubine Rong and I wanted my life, they deliberately arranged for me to work under the Zhou family!
No...that's not right.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses. Could this old guy be dissatisfied with Concubine Rong and want me to take over the Zhou family?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, this old guy is plotting against me!
Snap!
Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian's footsteps stopped.
Xiao Chen looked up strangely and saw a middle-aged man wearing official robes with a gloomy face standing in front of him. He was wondering about his identity.
Wei Zhongxian saluted respectfully and said with a flattering smile: "I have met Mr. Zhou."
Mr. Zhou?
Zhou Yuanqiao!
Xiao Chen's heart tightened, and he met Zhou Yuanqiao as soon as he came in. This person came with bad intentions.
Zhou Yuanqiao lowered his eyes, looked at Xiao Chen, and said coldly: "Are you the new chief? Humph, a castrated dog has the nerve to come to the sect's mansion. If you know the truth, get out!"
"Master Zhou, this..."
Wei Zhongxian spoke, trying to soften his words, but before he could finish his words, he was slapped to the ground by Zhou Yuanqiao, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"Haha... Master Zhou taught you a lesson."
Wei Zhongxian fell to the ground, not angry at all, and continued to smile flatteringly.
Xiao Chen frowned, raised his head and said coldly: "Are you saying that you are not worthy of coming to the Zongren Mansion after taking up the position of Zongzheng?"
"you!"
Zhou Yuanqiao's pupils tightened and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen.
This castrated dog!
What a courageous dog!
"Sharp teeth and sharp tongue! If you want to stay there, you can continue to stay, but the clan mansion does not support idle people. A big event happened in the palace recently, so I will leave it to you to handle!"
Zhou Yuanqiao sneered and took out a file of cases.
When he saw the case file, Wei Zhongxian's big face suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, don't take it! This case is not something you can handle... Bang!"
Another slap came down.
Zhou Yuanqiao twisted his wrist and snorted coldly, "Noisy!"
"If you don't accept this case, I will report it directly to the Prime Minister. You have to think about the consequences."
Listening to the threats in Zhou Yuanqiao's words, Xiao Chen had a sullen face. If he didn't take the case, Zhou Yuanqiao would definitely find a way to deal with him, and then he would be completely passive.
On the contrary, if you take it, it may be a good thing.
On the one hand, Xiao Chen has a relationship with Concubine Shu, the Queen, Concubine Jing and the Sixth Princess. As long as it is a matter in the harem, they can find a way to solve it.
In addition, by solving this case, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the clan's mansion!
With this in mind, Xiao Chen grabbed An Zong and said, "Okay, I'll take it!"
"Yes, remember, this case will be solved within three days."
Zhou Yuanqiao raised three fingers and said, "If it cannot be broken within three days, go and explain to His Majesty!"
After saying that, Zhou Yuanqiao turned and left.
After Xiao Chen heard the last sentence, he immediately opened the case, and when he saw the contents clearly, he was slightly shocked!
It turns out... is this kind of case? !
…
And on the other side.
Located in the Yangxin Hall in the center of the entire palace.
"My dear friends, how about you come and take a look at this disaster relief plan?"
Chu Yanwu was wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting on it, and a booklet was placed on the dragon table.
Below, there are three white-haired veterans wearing imperial robes.
After hearing Chu Yanwu's words, Master Jiu Cen took the lead in opening the booklet. With just one glance, his body was shaken!
He stared at the content inside, reading every word, not wanting to miss anything.
After a long time, Master Cen raised his head and asked with shock: "Your Majesty, who made this disaster relief plan?!"
