When he yelled, Zhou Tianfu and Xiao Chen, who were quarreling with each other, stopped, but both of them had angry looks on their faces.
Chu Yanwu directly waved his sleeves and said: "This court hall is not a place for you two to quarrel! I am also tired. I will come here today and retreat from the court!"
His words were not meant to make peace, nor were they meant to punish anyone...
It's not as peaceful as it seems.
It was clear that he wanted Xiao Chen and Zhou Tianfu to fight to the death.
However, there were almost no people among the ministers present who could understand this.
This is true even for the two parties involved.
Only Xiao Chen vaguely noticed something was wrong.
But he didn't think much about it.
When the emperor left and the officials gradually retreated.
Zhou Tianfu cast his eyes on Xiao Chen, and his voice was extremely gloomy: "Xiao Chen, stop for the truth!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Tianfu, I am not a sinner now! You should call me Lord Governor or Lord Xiao!"
Zhou Tianfu stroked his beard and said in a cold voice: "You don't want to show the majesty of a governor in front of me! I stopped you this time because I have something to say to you!"
Xiao Chen sneered coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Zhou Tianfu choked and his face became increasingly ugly: "I am warning you not to be an enemy of me. If not, you will die without a burial place!"
Xiao Chen smiled contemptuously, glanced at Zhou Tianfu, and said nothing.
His posture was actually very lethal. Zhou Tianfu's anger suddenly rose: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen had no intention of talking nonsense with him, and turned around quickly, leaving only one sentence floating over: "How can we know who will live and who will die before we reach the end?"
Zhou Tianfu froze on the spot, watching Xiao Chen walk away with a cold light flickering in his deep eyes.
Xiao Chen actually had no intention of breaking up with Zhou Tianfu.
But when he left the palace gate, Chen Jin came quickly and stopped him again.
"Eunuch Chen!"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"
Chen Jin's expression was quite gentle, and he pointed to the side and said, "Come this way, I have something to say to Governor Xiao."
Xiao Chen walked over quickly.
After arriving at a quiet and uninhabited place, Chen Jin briefly talked about what happened yesterday:
"Yesterday, His Majesty also doubted you... But your arrangements here are indeed exquisite and meticulous, so Your Majesty also knows that you did not assassinate Jiang Rongfeng! But now, Your Majesty is still hesitant, mainly because he wants to beat you. "
"But my father-in-law has advised your majesty, and your majesty also knows in his heart that if you can promise to be loyal to your majesty and to Dachu, your majesty will not do anything to you."
"So please disinfect masters to seize the opportunity and don't make mistakes!"
Xiao Chen naturally understood that Chen Jin came here to sell favors, and quickly handed over his hand and said: "Eunuch Chen is willing to speak for me, and I am naturally extremely grateful!"
"It was thanks to Eunuch Chen who sent the message in a timely manner yesterday!"
Chen Jin said with a smile on his face: "That's nothing. I don't want your majesty to be deceived."
Xiao Chen quickly lowered his voice and said: "Eunuch Chen has shown me the kindness of supporting and supporting me. After this incident, I feel like he has saved my life! If Eunuch Chen asks for anything in the future, I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire." I’ll do it for you too!”
Chen Jin's eyes were slightly satisfied, and he nodded and said: "Master Xiao is too polite. I am only doing things for His Majesty, how can I take advantage of my favor?"
Xiao Chen wanted to laugh in his heart.
How could he say this if he didn't show respect for himself?
But he would definitely not reveal it, and quickly said: "Eunuch Chen is so righteous!"
Then Xiao Chen changed his mind and after thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said: "Eunuch, actually, I have gained something from going south this time... For example, some precious secret recipes of medicinal materials, and even martial arts secrets!"
"I am also thinking about how to cultivate to the extreme, transform into gods and humans, and transform from yin to yang... If I have some achievements here, I will be the first to tell my father-in-law!"
When Chen Jin heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed.
It seems that the emperor and his guess are right...
Xiao Chen really hopes to make himself a real man!
His face didn't show any strange color, he just smiled and said: "My father-in-law is very old now. Even if he is reincarnated by heaven and human beings, and changes from yin to yang, there will be no fun at all!"
"You only need to remember one thing, serve your majesty to the death and be loyal to the great Chu!"
Xiao Chen nodded quickly: "What Eunuch Chen said is absolutely true! Naturally, I know it in my heart. Of course, from now on, I will remember it and practice it at all times!"
Chen Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I won't say any more, my father-in-law!"
Xiao Chen nodded, watched Chen Jin leave, and returned to Dongchang first.
Half an hour later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhou Tianfu's face turned very gloomy when he returned to his mansion.
Qian Jilai even stepped forward to inquire about the situation but was waved away.
He picked up a vase and smashed it, and yelled: "What a shameless castrated dog! How can I give him face?"
After venting for a long time, Zhou Tianfu felt relieved.
He called for Qian Jilai again: "Check carefully to see what happened in the palace yesterday!"
"Besides, I am also keeping an eye on Xiao Chen's movements! As long as there is any disturbance, I must record it and report it to the truth!"
"yes!"
Now, Xiao Chen has wandered back to Dongchang.
In fact, he also knew that now was an important moment, so he also brought Xiang Yichun, Ji Hongluan and Lin Yi over.
Looking at the masters in front of him, Xiao Chen's eyes were slightly cold and his tone was solemn: "Now that old dog Zhou Tianfu and I are fighting to the death!"
"The war is about to break out. You must be prepared at any time. You must not neglect it!"
Everyone said in unison: "My subordinates know it, Lord Governor!"
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Xiang Yichun again: "The Jiang Rongfeng matter was handled by you before, right? Where is the fake Jiang Rongfeng's body?"
Xiang Yichun quickly said: "Last night, after the killer sent by Zhou Tianfu left, my subordinates immediately cleaned up the bodies. Now there is no one in the sky prison!"
Xiao Chen's eyes softened slightly and he nodded: "Well done."
At this time, Ji Hongluan, who was hesitant to speak, spoke up: "By the way, Lord Governor, you suddenly asked me to go shopping a few days ago, and asked me to deliberately expose the veil...is this just for this?"
In fact, Ji Hongluan didn't know why Xiao Chen did this deliberately.
After looking at today's events, she understood Xiao Chen's good intentions and felt that Xiao Chen was indeed thoughtful.
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded: "Actually, your guess is not too far off. However, Chu Yanwu's acquiescence to our replacement of death row prisoners is already a great help!"
He paused for a moment, and his eyes became more serious: "As for the next step, Chu Yanwu probably won't interfere! Whether we live or die, it all depends on us!"
