After hearing this, Bai Zhi and Zhong Wannian were startled.
Especially Bai Zhi, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen, wondering what was going on.
Xiao Chen looked very calm, but raised his eyebrows lightly.
Seeing that Zhong Wannian was still stunned, Wan Jianan raised his foot and kicked him hard, "You are useless, why don't you apologize to Miss Bai Zhi quickly?"
Zhong Wannian hit the table and grimaced in pain for a moment, but he woke up in shock.
He hurriedly endured the pain and got up. Although he didn't know what the relationship was, the person who could make Wan Jianan so angry must be a big character.
Zhong Wannian immediately did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran to Bai Zhi with humility, raised his hand and slapped himself hard, "Look at my mouth! It's all the villain's fault. I offended Miss Bai Zhi, but I still hope that Bai Zhi will do it." Please forgive me, girl and this young man!"
"Master, you have a lot of money, please don't be like a villain!"
Xiao Chen snorted slightly, not even bothering to look at him. He just focused his gaze on Wan Jianan and asked coldly: "Do I know you?"
Wan Jian'an hurriedly bent over and bowed, fearing that he was extremely respectful, "The governor is joking. I have long admired the name of the governor, but how can I, a junior official, be worthy of knowing the governor?"
"It's my honor to meet you today!"
"Governor, Governor?" Zhong Wannian was so frightened that cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
Bai Zhi was also surprised, her almond-shaped eyes widened, looking at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
I didn’t expect this little eunuch to be so majestic outside?
Taking this opportunity, Wan Jian'an hurriedly said, "Lord Governor, why don't you let Lao Zhong take Miss Bai Zhi to the next room to discuss the delivery first? What do you think?"
After hearing this, Zhong Wannian hurriedly came over to invite Bai Zhi, "Boss Bai, please hurry up and I will get all the goods in place for you."
Bai Zhi nodded and was about to leave with him, but she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Chen.
"Then be careful and don't take it lightly. If you need anything, come to me. I'll be right next door." Bai Zhi approached Xiao Chen and whispered.
Xiao Chen glanced at her, but he didn't expect that this little girl would actually care about him.
After the two of them left, Wan Jian'an hurriedly ran to the room and closed the door. Then he hurriedly came to Xiao Chen and saluted, "Old official, Wan Jian'an, pay my respects to Governor Xiao!"
Xiao Chen nodded, raised his hand lightly, and signaled him to "please sit down."
Where would Wan Jianan dare to sit? He personally pulled out a chair for Xiao Chen, helped Xiao Chen sit down, and then respectfully poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen, "Supervisor, all low-level officials are incompetent in teaching their children, so that little bastard doesn't know how high-minded he is. I dare to make trouble in front of you and cause you trouble.
"I apologize to you, my official, and I hope the governor will not blame you!"
"What's the trouble?" How did Xiao Chen know who his son was? He asked with a slight frown.
Wan Jian'an looked at Xiao Chen's expression respectfully and said cautiously, "Among the officials' children you captured before, there was a man named Wan Peng. Do you still remember him?"
"Wan Peng?" Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "Oh, I have some impressions, but I didn't expect him to be Mr. Wan's son. However, if Mr. Wan wants to thank you for letting him go, then there is no need. After all, the matter of letting him go, It’s not my fault.”
Wan Jian'an bowed his hands in the direction of the palace, "I understand, this is all thanks to the saint's mercy."
"But I also know that, Governor Xiao, you have great hands and eyes. If you don't want to, no one's orders will do it! So Governor Xiao, you are the great benefactor of our father and son. Both my father and son are grateful for your great kindness." At heart!"
With that said, he bowed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, thank you very much, Governor Xiao!"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, this Yuanwailang had some words and was a smart man.
In this case, Xiao Chen was too lazy to play riddles with him, "Master Wan, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."
The corner of Wan Jian'an's mouth trembled slightly, and a sense of urgency of death enveloped him, prompting him to desperately seize this opportunity and bow to the end, "Lord Governor, please be merciful and save the lives of Guan and his family!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Xiao Chen's cold eyes narrowed slightly and slowly fell on Wan Jian'an.
Wan Jian'an had a lump in his throat, and the seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but blush, "The Zhou family is already looking for a scapegoat for the case brought about by the arrest in Dongchang this time. The official has no foundation in the court." The backer has been chosen by them."
"But the matter of corruption concerns Guo Zuo. If anyone is arrested, it will not only be a death penalty for one person, but also a serious crime of annihilating the nine tribes. It doesn't matter if one person dies, but his wife, children, children, relatives and friends of the nine tribes, the official must save him!"
"I beg the Governor to have mercy! The lives, wealth and life of Xiaguan's family are all tied to the Governor! I only hope that the Governor will have mercy on you!"
With that said, Wan Jian'an lifted up the corners of his robe and knelt down heavily.
His tears fell to the ground, dripping endlessly.
Xiao Chen frowned, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at him from afar, okay, it turned out to be a dog from the Zhou family.
But it’s hard to say whether this dog is truly rebellious. If he really rebels, he will have many uses in the future. If he is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han, he has dug a time bomb for himself.
"You came to beg the governor today. If the Zhou family finds out, it will be a serious crime that will lead to death. Have you ever thought about this?" Xiao Chen asked leisurely.
Wan Jian'an's hazy tearful eyes were filled with hatred for a moment, and he wished he could cut Zhou into pieces with a thousand knives, "It's all a matter of death anyway! Instead of waiting for death without doing anything, it's better to give it a try!"
"The Governor, I am willing to devote everything I have to the Governor. From now on, the Governor will be the only one who obeys!"
There was ruthlessness in his eyes, which was indeed the look of a desperate man.
But Xiao Chen didn't answer him right away. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while. Seeing that there was only determination and hatred in his eyes without any hint of guilt, he slowly said, "What do you mean?" , I understand.”
"It's just that these two retainers are the most difficult to use. Mr. Wan, if you take refuge in me today in order to survive, there is no guarantee that you will not turn to others in order to survive in the future. You said that you will bet everything, but in the end, it will not matter. Damn it."
Wan Jian'an's whole body was shocked, and his tearful eyes were filled with a mixture of joy of surviving a desperate situation and hesitant fear.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes lightly, "Why, Mr. Wan is still reluctant to come up with something useful?"
"But in this governor's place, just being miserable is not enough."
Wan Jian'an's expression changed several times, and he was in pain as if his bones were being ripped out and his marrow was being peeled off.
After a long while, he kowtowed heavily to the ground!
A stain of blood spread from his forehead to the ground, and his voice was decisive.
"I am willing to use my son as a pledge!"
