Chen Jin thought for a moment and then whispered to the young eunuch beside him: "Take Xiao Chen and Jiang Rongfeng down first."

The little eunuch quickly went over and took the two people away again.

After the two people left, Chen Jin quickly came to Xigua and reminded: "Your Majesty, I have an idea here that may be able to help you solve your current troubles."

Xigua narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Say."

Chen Jin said respectfully: "We might as well take advantage of the scheme and detain Xiao Chen in the palace, and then imprison Jiang Rongfeng in the prison."

"In this way, we can create an illusion... Xiao Chen's incident happened! We only need to see what the Prime Minister's reaction is to know what the truth is."

Xigua thought about it for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's do it."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Then I'll go right now!"

Chen Jin slowly exited the imperial study room

After arriving at the door, he said to Xiao Chen outside with a cold face: "The corruption matter is almost a foregone conclusion. Once the evidence is found and the procedures at Dali Temple are completed, you will be beheaded. !”

"As for now, you stay in the palace for the time being and wait for His Majesty's orders!"

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly.

However, he didn't get too nervous and just said: "The pure ones will become clear themselves, and the dirty ones will become dirty themselves. I believe that Your Majesty will give me justice and will not argue too much!"

Chen Jin remained silent and waved to the guards behind him to take Xiao Chen down.

Jiang Rongfeng's expression was a little panicked.

However, he had been an official for a long time and had a strong mind...and he could only place his hope on Xiao Chen, so he didn't say much.

Chen Jin glanced at Jiang Rongfeng, smiled, and said: "Take him to the prison and lock him up!"

This matter is definitely not a trivial matter.

Almost as soon as Chen Jin did this, someone went to meet Zhou Tianfu on the back.

Zhou Tianfu arranged a detailed arrangement in the palace. After the man reported the matter to Zhou Tianfu's men in a separate courtyard, he disguised himself and returned to the palace.

And Zhou Tianfu's men quickly arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Zhou Tianfu heard that there was news in the palace, he summoned the man almost without thinking.

He touched his beard and asked in a cold voice: "What happened in the palace? Is it related to the group incident, and is it related to Xiao Chen?"

The man quickly reported: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it is indeed what you thought! It is indeed related to the shipwreck..."

"At noon today, His Majesty summoned Xiao Chen and Jiang Rongfeng to the palace for a confrontation! It was said that there were 2.4 million taels of silver that could not be paid. His Majesty was furious and questioned Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen did not admit it, and His Majesty was furious. I will lock him up in the palace and tell him that he will be executed immediately after the procedures at Dali Temple are completed!"

"As for Jiang Rongfeng, he has been taken out of the palace and is waiting in jail!"

Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides that, what else happens? Did His Majesty only do these two things?"

The man quickly said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, in addition, your Majesty also secretly sent people to surround Dongchang..."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianfu's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything more, but waved the man to leave first.

At this time, Qian Jilai came over and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, I think that the reason why Your Majesty did this is because he is worried about Xiao Chen's rebellious attitude! Or maybe he can't make up his mind..."

In fact, Zhou Tianfu also knew what was going on.

They surrounded Dongchang but were still reluctant to take action...unless they were hesitant in their hearts!

On the one hand, I was worried that something might happen to Xiao Chen, for example, when he was on the verge of a desperate situation, he would cause a desperate situation; on the other hand, he felt that Xiao Chen still had room to exploit, and he was reluctant to kill him just now.

But the longer Xigua delays, the greater the disadvantage will be to Zhou Tianfu.

He would never see the situation like this.

So he flashed his eyes and said coldly: "Since His Majesty has been unable to make up his mind for a long time! Then I will help him!"

Qian Jilai over there asked tentatively: "Prime Minister, what do you want..."

"Kill Jiang Rongfeng."

Zhou Tianfu chuckled and said with a sneer: "As long as Jiang Rongfeng dies, no one can come back for Xiao Chen! At the same time, Xiao Chen can be blamed for Jiang Rongfeng's death."

Qian Jilai began to flatter him: "The Prime Minister really did everything... This plan is really clever!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's high or not, what matters is whether it's effective."

Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes: "Send someone to kill Jiang Rongfeng immediately. Remember to clean your hands and feet, and then arrange the situation!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Qian Jilai immediately retreated and ordered the killer to do something.

Zhou Tianfu and Qian Jilai thought that everything on their side was perfect and there was nothing missing.

But they had no idea that the Prime Minister's residence had long been infiltrated.

At the same time, Xiao Chen's seventh-level master Ji Hongluan, who is also the best at disguise and disguise, is also lurking in the Prime Minister's house at this time.

After she noticed some personnel changes in the prime minister's house, she immediately followed them.

After finding out the situation, she quickly reported the matter to Xiang Yichun by means of a flying pigeon.

Xiang Yichun also quickly entered the palace and found Chen Jin.

By chance, Chen Jin was about to return to his residence.

Xiang Yichun stopped him on the road and said, "Eunuch Chen, I am Xiao Chen's personal guard and I have something important to report."

Chen Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again: "What happened?"

Xiang Yichun knelt on one knee and reported: "Prime Minister Zhou Tianfu plans to send people to murder Jiang Rongfeng, and he wants to put the blame on the governor!"

Hearing this, Chen Jin stopped and stared at Xiang Yichun: "Is this true?"

"Every word of the villain is true!"

Xiang Yichun said in an extremely respectful tone: "If Eunuch Chen doesn't believe it, you can follow the villain to Tianlao. In half an hour, the people sent by Zhou Tianfu will pass!"

Chen Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, my father-in-law will come over right now!"

"My father-in-law would like to see if this is really the case... If Zhou Tianfu is really disobedient, my father-in-law will definitely report the situation to His Majesty!"

Xiang Yichun was actually waiting for this sentence, and without thinking much, he immediately took Chen Jin to Tianlao.

And this Tianlao itself had a secret room, and the two of them hid in a dark room.

When the time was almost up, a figure in black jumped out.

Zhou Tianfu saw the figure in black and said coldly: "Who are you?"

The man smiled coldly: "The person who came to take your life!"

"Master Jiang, you are on your way to hell, and don't blame me!"

This person was not stupid enough to tell Zhou Tianfu's name, but he deliberately arranged it here and left the Dongchang logo.

Chen Jin watched the whole process, his eyes were already cold,
