His voice was sharp and high, and he seemed to have a condescending attitude.
Although I had expected that this guy would come with bad intentions, I didn't expect him to be so disrespectful.
Xiao Chen happily beat him up again in his heart, but he still had to pretend on the surface.
He straightened up and sighed lightly: "Eunuch Chen, what you said is really sad. Isn't it just for you that I'm doing this?"
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and his words were full of opportunities: "For our family?"
"Are you trying to make our family die early?"
He stared hard at Xiao Chen and gritted his teeth: "Don't you know that Zhang Dongyang has been insisting on the land annexation?"
"By keeping those people, are you deliberately keeping them and giving us a handle on our family, so that our family will be completely destroyed, right?"
Deeply in love, he knocked his hand on the table uncontrollably, causing even the teapot lid to crackle.
Xiao Chen's heart ached, that's the finest Ru kiln porcelain, don't break it!
Shrinking his neck, Xiao Chen explained: "My father-in-law, think about it. For such a big thing like land annexation, the people must have resentment in their hearts."
"I gave them a place to stay, wasn't it to resolve public grievances? To prevent them from making things worse."
Speaking of this, Chen Jin sneered: "Those people have already started to make trouble. They even sent the complaint to my family. You can't even open your eyes to take a good look!"
There are at least a dozen petitions on the table, all of them criticizing the land annexation.
If it weren't for the fact that those local officials were a little aware of current affairs and knew how to suppress this matter, otherwise I could still be sitting here peacefully and calling for punishment?
Xiao Chen glanced sideways and smiled brilliantly: "The land annexation is such a big matter, we can't expect to silence everyone in Youyou. There will be some complaints."
"But don't worry, I will send people to suppress you a little later as a warning. Those people are also temporarily unconvinced. They have found a place to live, and they will not foolishly risk their own lives against you again."
That being said, being listenable is another matter.
Chen Jin looked at him thoughtfully: "No, a smart person like Governor Xiao doesn't know that the mouth of the dead is the most severe?"
He stood up slowly and circled around Xiao Chen, as if he was sizing up his prey.
This feeling is really as uncomfortable as scratching an itch.
Xiao Chen tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but his eyes were filled with a coldness as deep as a cold pool, "The land annexation has already caused public resentment. If we kill those people again and add hundreds of lives, it will probably be even more difficult to end, right? "
"I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation, and I hope my father-in-law will be considerate."
Chen Jin didn't give any face at all, and spat: "You are so considerate!"
Fortunately, Xiao Chen moved his feet quickly, otherwise the phlegm from the crack would fall on his body, which would be very disgusting.
The hands behind his back curled up slightly, and his face twitched uncontrollably.
This was the first time that he had the urge to hit someone.
Chen Jin didn't seem to be aware of it, and even said frankly: "Because of hundreds of cheap lives, as long as you handle it cleanly enough, even if others talk about it, what will happen?"
"Onlookers know better, and discussions are discussions. It's nothing more than pity for those cheap lives, so what can be done?"
"You obviously have the ability to solve the matter more cleanly and prevent future worries, but you just want to keep them alive."
Chen Jin rubbed his chin, his eyes like scanners, "Let's think about why you did what you did?"
After a moment of deep thought, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and sneered: "In order not to offend Zhang Dongyang?"
"You are afraid of him, or you want to pretend to be a good person in front of him, and you will take advantage of him!"
Chen Jin's words were partly probing and partly questioning.
However, Chen Jin guessed wrong. Even if she didn't give Zhang Dongyang face, she would not be so unconscionable as to harm innocent people for the sake of profit.
I didn't expect that this person was so greedy. He already had the land under his control, but he still wanted to kill everyone.
He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Chen, you are thinking too much."
"If I really form an alliance with Zhang Dongyang, how can I help you take the lead in annexing land? That is Zhang Dongyang's taboo."
Chen Jin thought and sneered: "If it's not for him, then you don't do your job with all your heart!"
Xiao Chen had already given in a few steps, but Chen Jin refused to give in. On the one hand, she doubted his loyalty and said that he was not dedicated. This was because he was determined to find trouble.
Tolerate!
Xiao Chen recited this word silently in his heart.
Endure the calm for a while!
When he was not absolutely sure of overthrowing Chen Jin, he had to hide his edge.
Xiao Chen quickly put on a frightened face: "Eunuch Chen, I really didn't consider this matter well."
He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed the severed palms of his hands to Chen Jin: "This is my apology to you. Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty this time!"
The tea is fragrant and steaming.
Seeing his humble attitude, Chen Jin felt a little more comfortable, but still did not take the cup of tea, deliberately giving him a blow.
"Director Xiao, you have to be sincere in your apology. If you really feel guilty, you should express more than a cup of tea. This is very simple."
Xiao Chen raised his head, looking slightly confused: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"If you are truly loyal to our family, stop playing these fake tricks and go directly to deal with those untouchables. We will never pursue this matter again!"
He really is a ruthless character.
Xiao Chen said without hesitation: "No problem!"
He shook the tea in front of him again and said, "I wonder, father-in-law, would you like to drink this cup of apology tea?"
Xiao Chen has already expressed his attitude and sincerity. If Chen Jin doesn't drink, it will really be less interesting.
He happily drank the cup of tea and said, "Master Xiao, I'm waiting for your good news, but don't betray our family's trust."
"Also, hurry up about the land annexation in another place and let us see your efficiency!"
Chen Jin placed the tea heavily on the table and walked away with a quick stride.
After the person left, Xiao Chen still stood there.
But the humility he had just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by bloodthirsty ferocity.
He slowly sat on the seat, and after a while, Xiang Yichun strode over, "Sir, Chen Jin has left."
He also listened to those conversations in the dark just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried for Xiao Chen: "Sir, Chen Jin is so threatening, are you really planning to kill those people?"
Xiao Chen sneered: "A dead old eunuch who shows off his power in front of me must deal with him sooner or later!"
"The previously planned land annexation plan will continue, but we will still follow our original method. Purchase people's land at high prices, compensate them and relocate them to new land."
Hearing this, Xiang Yichun's expression instantly relaxed: "Follow your orders!"
