Xiao Chen's eyes moved slightly, and a smile of understanding appeared on his face. He bowed his head quickly and said, "The eunuch has blue eyes. I am so lucky for my whole life! If I can enter the gate of the eunuch, I will die without regrets!"
"If you don't mind me, Chief Superintendent, you will be the godfather of my subordinates from now on."
Chen Jin waved his hand, with an imperceptible complex and alienated look in his eyes, but his voice was kind and polite, "You don't have to be like this, Governor Xiao. Your wishes are accepted by the Zajia family, but the Zajia family cannot afford the word 'godfather', haha …”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment in despair.
In fact, my heart is clear.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Chen expressed his loyalty with a sense of disappointment, while Chen Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she could see through his performance in the next moment.
Xiao Chen quickly adjusted his mood and bowed his hands obediently, with a very ashamed look on his face, "I understand! It's all because of my rudeness."
"Eunuch Suwen's sons have been raised since childhood. They have been filial to you since they were seven or eight years old. Who are they to be subordinates? How can I be worthy of being your son because I am vulgar and inferior?"
"But don't worry, Chief Supervisor, even if you don't want to recognize me as your godson, your subordinates will be as filial to you and respect you as your godson!"
Xiao Chen bowed again, his eyes and face were full of sincerity, but when he lowered his head, there was a flash of sharpness that was difficult to detect.
Of course, he didn't sincerely accept Chen Jin as his godfather. This was just to give Chen Jin a determination to surrender.
And Chen Jin naturally understands this. What Chen Jin wants is his surrender attitude to see how sincere he can be.
"Good boy" Chen Jin nodded with satisfaction and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, "It's rare that you don't dislike this old guy from the Zajia family. The Zajia family will treat you well in the future."
"Xiao Chen, work hard, you will have a bright future."
"Thank you, eunuch, for your appreciation. I will be able to support you from now on!"
"Thank you, Chief Superintendent!"
Xiao Chen did the greatest honoring ceremony in the Chu Kingdom and bowed his head to the ground, which took half a cup of tea.
Chen Jin's eyes became more and more satisfied, and he helped Xiao Chen up with his own hands, patted his hand and said: "The Za family has long seen that you are a good and useful boy, so from now on, we will go together."
"Yes! All my subordinates listen to the supervisor!" Xiao Chen was obedient and respectful, with sincerity and gratitude still in his eyes.
Chen Jin nodded with satisfaction and was raising his hand to ask Xiao Chen to step back when he suddenly thought of something and narrowed his old eyes sternly.
"Superintendent, do you still have any important instructions?" Xiao Chen whispered, respectfully and cautiously.
Chen Jin looked around, pulled him down to a more hidden corner, and lowered his voice, "You did a good job this time, and the emperor is actually very satisfied with it. However, this time you also completely angered Zhou Zhongnian." .”
"The Za family has been in the palace for so long, so naturally they know the nature of that old man. With his narrow-mindedness that will retaliate, I'm afraid he won't let you go easily."
"You should be more careful in the future."
Xiao Chen nodded gratefully, but immediately, there was a kind of fearless determination in his eyes, "The Zhou family has long regarded me as a thorn in their flesh, and this time is no different."
"Whatever they want to do, just come over."
Chen Jin shook his head slightly, sighed, and patted his shoulder, "I know you are young and energetic, but it's better to be careful."
"Yes, I will follow the eunuch's instructions."
Xiao Chen bowed and saluted, always maintaining a very respectful attitude.
It wasn't until Chen Jin left that he got up and rushed back to Dongchang.
As he was walking and thinking, a figure suddenly ran out from the woods on the side, and a little maid with a long tail blocked Xiao Chen's way.
Xiao Chen saw that she looked familiar. Before he could speak, the little girl saluted and said, "Good luck, Lord Governor. My mother-in-law would like to invite you to sit in the palace."
"Ah... I'm sorry, who is your mother-in-law?" Xiao Chen's face wrinkled, and he really couldn't remember for a moment.
The little girl pouted and said displeasedly: "Of course it's Mrs. Jieyu, Empress Zhao! Who else is the governor looking at?"
"Haha" Xiao Chen smiled, thinking that there were too many people here to see the governor, but at that moment he stopped joking and raised his hand to make an invitation gesture, "Girl, please lead the way."
On the other side, in the study at the back of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Tianfu's gloomy face seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, and his sharp eagle eyes now showed a chilling air.
There were more than a dozen disciples kneeling behind him, all of them were as silent as a cicada, not daring to say a word.
"This is really unreasonable!"
Zhou Tianfu finally withdrew his stern gaze towards Miyagi, and was so angry that he slammed his palm on the desk in front of him. His old chest heaved violently, and a torrent of anger condensed in his chest, making his eyes red with suffocation.
"A young eunuch actually dares to step on the Prime Minister's head."
"If you don't add color, I'm afraid that everyone in the imperial court will imitate it in the future!"
A disciple hurriedly kowtowed and said, "What the Prime Minister said is that this little eunuch is really daring. Who doesn't know that Chen Yunqi is yours, yet he actually dares to do something secretly!"
Zhou Tianfu's eyes became even more gloomy, as dark as a dark place where no skylight could be seen, and a bit of murderous intent silently overflowed from it.
At this time, the people sent out came back to report.
Zhou Tianfu said in a deep voice, and a trace of anger emerged as he was about to make a killing move, "Say!"
The young disciple's voice trembled, "Return, return to Prime Minister, the manpower we sent out to rescue the Chen family's family members was... still a step too late."
"Everyone in the Chen family has been taken into custody by Dongchang!"
Zhou Tianfu was furious. The hand that had just picked up the teacup tightened tightly, as if tearing an enemy into pieces, and he smashed the teacup out with hatred, "Trash!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"I have been supporting you for many years, but when I hire people, none of you are useful!"
"Master Prime Minister, calm down!"
All the disciples immediately bowed their heads to the ground and repeatedly advised with trembling voices, "Master, please take care of yourself..."
Zhou Tianfu's intense anger caused veins to pop up on his forehead. A pair of old but powerful hands were hidden between the wide sleeves of his broad robe, trembling constantly, and his lips became darker and darker...
Once the Chen family cannot be controlled by him, Chen Yunqi will no longer care about it. Who knows if he will make a confused confession!
This Xiao Chen really doesn't know the way out. Every move he makes is to beat the Zhou family to death!
"A eunuch really thinks he can stir up some trouble!" Zhou Tianfu's patience reached its limit. His red eyes were like a ball of murderous flames bursting out. He turned around suddenly, and all the violence from his body rushed out.
Just listening to his words, the power of controlling life and death at this moment is almost equal to that of an emperor.
"Xiao Chen, you must die!"
"Whoever comes, please immediately send a letter to the palace and hand it over to Concubine Rong!"
