An hour later, Concubine Rong was in the palace.
Now there are only two people in the huge palace, one is a maid arranged by Zhou Tianfu in the palace, and the other is Concubine Rong.
After Concubine Rong listened to the report from the palace maid in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly:
"Did father really say that?"
The palace maid immediately said: "The Prime Minister indeed requested this!"
"If you have any ideas, please tell me first, and I will tell you to the Prime Minister!"
Concubine Rong sneered and said, "Father is just worried that the emperor and Xiao Chenhang are colluding. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right, your Majesty, that's what the Prime Minister's message really said!"
The palace maid lowered her head and said.
The corners of Concubine Rong's lips turned up in a disdainful arc: "But as far as I know, the emperor is very afraid of Xiao Chen!"
"Before, Chen Jin once asked Xiao Chen for herbal repayment pills in the name of the emperor, but Xiao Chen didn't give him any of them! The emperor whispered this matter in my ear once."
"In addition, my people often report that the emperor has many dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen!"
The palace maid asked again: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
Concubine Rong's eyes darkened:
"But even if the emperor is not partial to Xiao Chen, my father must find a chance to get rid of him!"
"This castrated dog is very difficult to deal with. If you keep him for one more day, it will cause more trouble! Tell your father what I just said, and then explain in particular that Xiao Chen cannot be kept and must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
The palace maid nodded: "I understand, my concubine, I will get down right now!"
Wait for the palace maid to leave slowly.
Concubine Rong's clenched palms loosened slightly, and her eyes flashed with a faint light.
Xiao Chen was not involved with Concubine Shu, but he personally sent Concubine Shu to the cold palace. This was the first grudge he made.
And Xiao Chen is in a fight to the death with his father Zhou Tianfu!
She wouldn't think that Xiao Chen would go easy on her!
Rather than letting Xiao Chen attack, it would be better for him to take the lead.
East Factory.
Xiao Chen and Concubine Shu were affectionate.
Concubine Shu didn't let him stay any longer. After a few words of warning, she asked him to come back as soon as possible.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Rongfeng rushing out.
Seeing Xiao Chen, Xiang Yichun's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Governor, there is a situation!"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"
Xiang Yichun was still mysterious. After he came over, he said in his ear: "What you told me before has been settled!"
Xiao Chen glared at him: "Let's talk after we go in."
After entering the room, Xiang Yichun said: "Didn't you say that Jiang Rongfeng might be sent in before, but now it is true! Someone just sent Jiang Rongfeng to a warehouse in the East Factory."
Xiao Chen's heart moved: "Jiang Rongfeng was sent here?"
"That's right! We have now placed him in the secret prison of the East Factory."
Xiang Yichun smiled brightly: "Master Governor, should we go over and take a look?"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly: "Let's go!"
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Dongchang Secret Prison and walked all the way to the deepest part. Xiao Chen just saw Jiang Rongfeng's figure.
Compared with the previous appearance where he was covered in injuries, Jiang Rongfeng's current situation was actually slightly better.
The wounds have been bandaged, and his breathing is still stable.
After Xiao Chen passed by, he waved his hand again and said: "Open the cell door, I will personally interrogate him!"
Xiang Yichun nodded, quickly went over to take off a bunch of keys, and opened the cell door.
With a creaking sound, the cell door was opened.
Jiang Rongfeng also slowly raised his head, and when he saw Xiao Chen coming over, something strange flashed in his eyes.
After Xiao Chen passed by, he said directly: "Your son and your lover are all fine now! There are no accidents!"
When Jiang Rongfeng heard this, even though he and Xiao Chen had a deep hatred, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He struggled to get up, bowed to Xiao Chen, and said: "Director Xiao is true to his word. Even if I have an sworn hatred with you, I still have to say that you are a person!"
Xiao Chen didn't show any humility, he just said casually: "It's better not to say these things."
"It's useless to praise me. I don't follow the officialdom!"
Jiang Rongfeng just smiled and did not look angry: "Master Xiao is coming over. He must have something else to ask."
Jiang Rongfeng has been an official for many years and is not stupid.
For a ruthless character like Xiao Chen, if he didn't have enough value, he wouldn't even look at himself!
This special trip was certainly not just to tell him that his son and lover were still alive.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiang Yichun slowly: "Bring a chair, I will sit down and slowly chat with Mr. Jiang!"
Xiang Yichun quickly retreated and brought another chair over.
After Xiao Chen sat down, Xiang Yichun even served a pot of tea.
Xiao Chen poured himself a cup of tea, poured another cup for Jiang Rongfeng, and pushed it over: "Master Jiang, drink some tea!"
"What I want to talk about today is very important. Moisten your throat first, and we will talk about it later!"
Jiang Rongfeng felt a little uneasy.
He could guess that it must be related to Zhou Tianfu.
Thinking of Zhou Tianfu's methods... Jiang Rongfeng felt a headache.
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and said: "Now the governor and Zhou Tianfu are fighting to the death, and you were once Zhou Tianfu's most capable subordinate, so you must also know his background!"
"I need you to tell me all the dirty things he has done over the years!"
Sure enough!
Jiang Rongfeng let out a long sigh, and his face seemed to have deteriorated: "I also know what Governor Xiao is thinking! But I know that I can't resist."
Xiao Chen's tone was calm: "So are you going to say it or not?"
"explain!"
Jiang Rongfeng seemed to have made up his mind: "In addition to this corruption case, Zhou Tianfu's people have also made a lot of money over the years. Just during my years in Jiangdong Road, I helped him collect a terrifying amount of wealth!"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Jiang Rongfeng was greedy and he knew it.
Even Jiang Rongfeng said "the amount is terrifying". How much did Zhou Tianfu get greedy?
He thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the specific number?"
Jiang Rongfeng's tone was decadent: "This money passed through my hands, so of course I know the specific amount! When I went to work in Jiangdong Road, including the three years I served as the Taoist, it was seven years in total!"
"And in these seven years, I collected twelve million taels of gold for him!"
Xiao Chen nodded: "Twelve million taels..."
But before he finished speaking, his eyes widened:
"Wait! You said twelve million taels of gold?"
Jiang Rongfeng smiled bitterly: "Indeed, I dare to promise Governor Xiao that twelve million taels of gold is just a lot more!"
Xiao Chen counted with his fingers, and his heart became more and more outrageous: "If I remember correctly, there are only 70 to 80 million taels of silver in the national treasury in the past few years... How did he do it, from Jiangdong Road to one place in seven years? Are you greedy for so much money?"
This is twice the size of the national treasury!
