Faced with this humiliation, even Zhou Tianfu couldn't control his emotions. There seemed to be fire in his eyes: "Xiao Chen! Don't be too proud!"
Xiao Chen just sneered and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Let me tell you, Prime Minister, I feel that you are too courageous! You haven't even left the palace yet, but you dare to say that in front of the emperor. Aren't you afraid that one day your boat will capsize in the gutter?"
He really felt that Zhou Tianfu, an old dog, was too arrogant.
If possible, Xiao Chen really wanted to hit him with his fist and hit this old dog with a smile on his face!
Zhou Tianfu snorted coldly: "If you dare to say that, you must be confident!"
Xiao Chen sneered and said: "How confident are you? What's the difference between you and yourself? It's simply ridiculous!"
After saying that, Xiao Chen ignored the livid Zhou Tianfu in front of him and left with a smile.
Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands into fists under his official uniform.
This castrated dog... is looking for death!
Men are quite relaxed and comfortable.
He didn't care at all about the vicious look cast by Zhou Tianfu from behind.
When he returned to his private house leisurely, he found an "uninvited guest".
It was Zhang Dongyang.
However, judging from the current situation, it cannot be said to be an "uninvited guest".
Today, he was impeaching corrupt officials in the court, but Zhou Tianfu interfered, and Chu Yanwu made the so-called "ten-day agreement."
However, it is indeed not that easy for Zhang Dongyang alone to really make those corrupt officials confess their crimes before the law.
Therefore, it is normal for Zhang Dongyang to appear here.
After all, Xiao Chen is on the same front as him, and he definitely has "great magical powers".
This guy is most likely here to ask for help.
Xiao Chen was naturally clear in his heart. He chuckled and didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled out the chair and asked Zhang Dongyang to sit down: "Sit down and let's talk later!"
Zhang Dongyang looked a little worried, frowned, and asked:
"Lord Governor, when I retreated from the court today, I saw Zhou Tianfu's face full of determination and confidence, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Do you think that guy might have any back-up plans?"
Not to mention Zhang Dongyang.
Xiao Chen naturally noticed Zhou Tianfu's confident look.
What's more, at the end, Zhou Tianfu came over and said some harsh words.
Xiao Chen also deduced that this guy most likely had some trump cards.
Xiao Chen smiled: "It would be strange if Zhou Tianfu had no backup plan."
He just said this, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea for himself and Zhang Dongyang, pushed one of them to Zhang Dongyang, held the tea cup again, and sat down slowly.
He was unhurried and had a natural look on his face, but Zhang Dongyang’s brows furrowed deeper:
"Lord Governor, this matter is very important! If Zhou Tianfu really has some back-up plan, and the corrupt officials we arrested refuse to plead guilty or be punished, I'm afraid I will be in trouble!"
"By then, it will inevitably affect you, Lord Governor!"
Zhang Dongyang is not alarmist.
If he loses this time, then judging from Zhang Dongyang's personality, the officials he impeached previously will definitely be "overturned."
Under pressure, Chu Yanwu may choose to "resurrect" those people again.
In this way, all their previous efforts have been in vain, and they will endure Zhou Tianfu's violent revenge!
Xiao Chen was indeed unhurried, and brought the teacup to his mouth again, taking a sip.
Feeling the fragrance of tea spreading, Xiao Chen felt a little more comfortable:
"Don't be too nervous, I just have my trump card here."
"As long as we don't make any mistakes, Zhou Tianfu can't make any waves no matter how hard he tries! Just follow your original plan!"
Zhang Dongyang's eyes relaxed a little, his brows relaxed, he nodded and said:
"Speaking of the trump card, it really makes me feel relieved."
The trump card that Zhang Dongyang talked about was what he and Xiao Chen had planned before, and it can be regarded as their most important bargaining chip now.
Xiao Chen put down the teacup and said again:
"There is nothing wrong with you, the only thing is that you are timid."
"To be honest, I also checked your previous experience as a capital official. The reason why you were released was because of your indecisiveness!"
Before he decided to form an alliance with Zhang Dongyang, he did check some things about Zhang Dongyang.
I know a little bit about this person.
Zhang Dongyang looked slightly embarrassed and coughed: "Master Governor, as the saying goes, be careful when sailing a ship that lasts ten thousand years. Saving your life is the most important thing..."
Xiao Chen shook his head: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Dongyang's expression froze, then sighed and said:
"Actually, Lord Governor, I feel that returning the power of Dongchang to His Majesty today is a relatively risky thing! Aren't you worried that His Majesty will kill the donkey and directly return the Governor of Dongchang to you after this storm is over? Are you going to hand over your position to someone else?"
His consideration was not without basis.
Chu Yanwu was very suspicious and headstrong.
Even if they successfully dealt with Zhou Tianfu, Chu Yanwu would probably think that Xiao Chen was powerful and had to weaken Xiao Chen's power... and the easiest and easiest way at that time was to directly transfer Dongchang to someone else to command. .
That’s a lot of fun!
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling a little happy indeed.
Zhang Dongyang is also very thoughtful!
What he said was not unreasonable.
But Xiao Chen is actually still confident.
His certainty is his confidence in his own strength.
As long as Chu Yanwu has eyes, he will see that he is capable. Only in his own hands can Dongchang play its greatest role and gain the greatest benefits for him.
Chu Yanwu, who has tasted the sweetness, will never give up his useful knife so easily.
But Xiao Chen would definitely not say that. He just smiled:
"Master Zhang, this is inappropriate!"
Zhang Dongyang didn't turn a corner for a long time, and frowned again and asked:
"Lord Governor, what is the meaning of this statement?"
Xiao Chen's eyes looked quite mysterious: "We are all His Majesty's ministers and loyal to Da Chu. Everything we have comes from His Majesty!"
"Even if His Majesty wants to take it away, we won't lose anything!"
What he said was beautiful and irreproachable.
Zhang Dongyang felt a chill in his heart.
In fact, he just wanted to discuss with Xiao Chen how to deal with it.
But Xiao Chen directly avoided the topic.
Is he so sure?
Zhang Dongyang murmured in his heart, the more he looked at Xiao Chen, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable!
Xiao Chen didn't know that he had successfully "transformed", so he raised the teacup calmly and took another sip.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Dongyang couldn't think of a reason, so he could only say:
"Lord Governor, you are so righteous!"
