This old boy was quite particular. When passing through the street, he even sent his servant to buy two wild ginseng plants.
And now, Xiao Chen's private residence.
There is no need to go to court, Xiao Chen got up very late today.
Now he is eating under Ji Hongluan's service.
To be honest, I had blocked a knife for Ji Hongluan earlier, and this woman had finally gained her heart.
Now everything goes according to his wishes, and he even took the initiative to help arrange breakfast today, just barely feeding him himself.
Xiao Chen was also very happy.
However, he was still a little worried about Zhou Tianfu's old dog.
At this morning's court meeting, he was probably going to bite himself.
However, Xiao Chen believed that Zhang Dongyang would definitely check and balance him, and would not let Zhou Tianfu's old dog bite him to death in one bite.
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, Xiao Chen put down the porridge bowl.
Xiang Yichun's voice came from the door again: "Master Governor, Master Zhang is here to visit!"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows: "That's just right! Please invite Mr. Zhang to come over!"
He was curious about what happened in the court.
Now that Zhang Dongyang is here, I can just ask him and find out his attitude.
Not long after, Zhang Dongyang came in with a servant.
He smiled and saluted, and said: "Lord Governor, there was a fire in the east factory last night. You must have been disturbed a little. I went to the drug store and bought two hundred-year-old ginseng!"
"It can be considered a gift, please accept it first!"
Xiao Chen nodded slightly: "Master Zhang is so polite."
The servant Jing Ke put it aside, paid off the money and left.
When Xiao Chen saw this situation, he also smiled: "The rest of you, please step aside first."
Ji Hongluan's eyes were a little hesitant, but he still left here first.
Now, only Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang are left in this dining room.
Xiao Chen got straight to the point: "Master Zhang, is there anything you want to say?"
Zhang Dongyang briefly talked about what happened in the court this morning, and then asked:
"Lord Governor, do you really believe that the person who came to assassinate you is a fool?"
It’s not that Zhang Dongyang doesn’t know the reason.
He just wanted to test Xiao Chen's attitude through this question.
If Xiao Chen said "yes", he would know that Xiao Chen probably wanted to call it quits.
If Xiao Chen said "no". He knew that Xiao Chen still wanted to mess with Zhou Tianfu, but he was just avoiding the edge.
Xiao Chen shook his head directly: "Only a ghost can believe it!"
"It's probably the old dog Zhou Tianfu who sent someone to do it, but now, I have no evidence!"
Zhang Dongyang finally understood.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Actually, Mr. Jiang is not dead yet, is he?"
Xiao Chen was not in the mood to beat around the bush with him: "Not only is Jiang Rongfeng not dead, but he is in the hands of this governor."
"It's just that Jiang Rongfeng didn't explain anything important, so he can't be of much help to the governor."
Zhang Dongyang was startled, then thought about it and understood what Xiao Chen meant:
"The Lord Governor is so heartfelt, you must have something to say to me, right?"
Xiao Chen laughed:
"Master Zhang, you just asked me some questions."
"The governor also wants to ask you some questions now!"
Zhang Dongyang’s eyes were calm and he said:
"My lord, please feel free to ask! I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything!"
Xiao Chen just smiled and said:
"There is a hundred-legged monster swarming above the Great Chu Court now!"
"This strange insect not only inserted its hands into the court and controlled many ministers, but also gave birth to many babies and controlled the local government! It even bred many powerful insects that can charge into battle for him!"
"Master Zhang, your family has been an official for several generations. Are you willing to take action against this centipede monster?"
What Xiao Chen said about the centipede monster was not just nonsense.
But Zhou Tianfu was known as a centipede before he became famous.
Just because he is very good at flowing through muddy water, and he can escape unscathed every time and escape from death.
There is also an idiom called a centipede, which is dead but not stiff... so everyone calls him a centipede.
Zhang Dongyang smiled: "I studied hard for ten years and became an official in the court. I put Dachu and the people first, so naturally I am willing to take action!"
Xiao Chen smiled: "That's good, then what do Master Zhang think about facing this poisonous monster insect?"
Zhang Dongyang considered it carefully and said: "This centipede monster has extremely tenacious vitality. If you really want to take action, you don't think you can eradicate it in one go!"
"It's best to eat away at its vitality bit by bit, and then crush it into powder when it is weak!"
Xiao Chen smiled: "You and I have reached an agreement before to bring down Zhou Tianfu, but now I am indeed at a disadvantage, and I can't guarantee that Mr. Zhang will continue to stand by my side! But since Mr. Zhang has an idea , then I’ll get straight to the point.”
He took out a ledger directly from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Dongyang:
"This is the confession given by Jiang Rongfeng before. It not only records Zhou Tianfu's power in the court, but also contains some dirty things!"
"If we can find out the evidence of these people's crimes, it will be a piece of Zhou Tianfu's flesh!"
Zhang Dongyang's eyes changed and he took it.
After browsing through it briefly, Zhang Dongyang's eyes almost glowed with joy:
"Zhou Tianfu is such a cunning person! In fact, no one knows how many people in the court are his direct descendants... If we can really find out the handle of these people, they will not just bite off a piece of his flesh, but even You can even break one of his legs!"
Although he was not obviously on Xiao Chen's side.
But as long as he still has the desire for power, he is bound to have a run-in with Zhou Tianfu.
Now that Xiao Chen still has some strength, he must make good use of this evidence.
Zhang Dongyang thought for a while and said: "Actually, although I was an official in the local area before, I was also an official in Beijing at the beginning, and I can be considered to have some connections! If you give me this roster, I can't find out. Come one, two, three, four, five!”
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed: "Then please leave it to Master Zhang!"
Zhang Dongyang nodded and said solemnly: "There are traitors and sycophants in the court. If I don't take action, how can I be worthy of the books of sages I read?"
"Zhou Tianfu is really a centipede, we will chop him to death leg by leg!"
Xiao Chen's eyes became serious, he stood up and saluted, "Then I'll leave it to Master Zhang!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Zhang Dongyang put the account book into his sleeve: "Lord Governor, I won't say much more. I will go to work right now. You can recover well and listen to my good news!"
Watching Zhang Dongyang go away, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something in his heart.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
But to be honest, Xiao Chen didn't think he could become a firm ally with Zhang Dongyang.
Benefits are eternal.
When the Japanese become a giant like Zhou Tianfu, maybe some people will gather together and try their best to bring him down.
