Zhou Chong didn't find that what he said was really ambiguous, at least in Zhang Rui's opinion, the meaning of Zhou Chong's words seemed to be not only to accept Mengwan, but even Junwan to let go, which made him immediately angry, "Uh" stood up with a slap on the table, pointed at Zhou Chong and roared: "Zhou Chong, don't deceive people too much!" ”

Zhou Chong also found out that his words were inappropriate at this time, but since he had already offended the other party, Zhou Chong didn't mind being more ruthless, and sneered again at the moment: "Who is bullying people too much, Duke, you know in your heart, where did the huge family business of Baifu go?" Why did the Mengwan sisters die in the world? Who is responsible for this? Do you still want Zhou to tell it one by one? ”

Seeing that Zhou Chong did not back down at all, this made Zhang Rui's anger even stronger, only to see him staring at Zhou Chong viciously, looking like a vicious wolf who chose people and took revenge. But at this moment, suddenly the subordinates of the palace hurriedly ran in to report: "Uncle, the father-in-law Gu in the palace is here, saying that he has something important to look for you, and now he is about to go to the living room!" ”

Hearing the name Gu Gonggong, Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, presumably this Gu Gonggong should be Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers. Zhang Rui next to him was also very shocked, he was familiar with the affairs of the palace, and as Gu Dayong, he actually came to find Zhou Chong in person, which showed that Zhou Chong's background was strong, which had exceeded his expectations. Thinking of this, Zhang Rui couldn't help but secretly regret that if he knew that Lu Dao was like this, he shouldn't have been too stiff with Zhou Chong just now.

Just as the next person had just reported it, he heard a commotion outside the living room, and Zhou Zhong hurriedly went out to greet him. I saw a white and chubby eunuch walking under the embrace of several small eunuchs. When I saw Zhou Zhong in front of the door of the living room. I saw that the white fat eunuch immediately took the lead in smiling and saluting: "This must be Gongzi Zhou, who is very useful in Xiagu, and salutes Gongzi!" ”

Seeing Gu Dayong preemptively salute, Zhou Zhongzhong was also shocked, you must know that Gu Dayong is the most trusted eunuch around Emperor Zhengde, and the Zhang Rui in the living room is a small character compared to the other party, so Gu Dayong is too big to use this gift.

Come to think of it. Zhou Chong also hurriedly took a few steps to return the salute and said: "Father-in-law Gu is polite, just now Zhou met the guests in the living room, and he failed to greet his father-in-law from afar, which is really rude!" ”

"Oh? That's really a coincidence, the Sprinkle family thought that the son should be free in the morning, so he rushed to the son after breakfast, but I didn't expect someone to be the same as I thought, but I don't know who is in front of the Sprinkle family? Gu Da asked with a bright smile, since he saw Zhou Chong, he was very enthusiastic. is diametrically opposed to the cold Zhang Rui in the living room.

Hearing Gu Dayong ask about the people who came to visit, Zhou Chong happened to see Zhang Rui sneaking out of the living room quietly. It seemed that he wanted to leave before Gu Dayong found him, but unfortunately he was seen by Zhou Chong at a glance, and he stretched out his hand and said: "Father-in-law Gu, please look, it is Zhang Rui and Zhang Dugong from Dongchang who are in front of you, and if you don't come, I'm afraid that the grass people and Zhang Dugong have already quarreled now." ”

Gu Dayong looked along Zhou Chong's fingers, and immediately saw Zhang Rui who was about to leave quietly, and heard Zhou Chong's words later, which made Gu Dayong's face sink, and he shouted in a sharp voice unique to eunuchs: "Zhang Rui, what did you see the Sprinkle family slipping, didn't Zhang Yong teach you how to salute?" ”

When he heard that Gu Dayong actually came to visit Zhou Chong in person, Zhang Rui already felt bad, and then he saw that Gu Dayong was the first to salute Zhou Chong, and he was so enthusiastic, it can be said that he has been in the palace for so long, and he has never seen Gu Dayong treat a person he just met so warmly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui was even more frightened, so he wanted to slip away while others were not paying attention to him, and then ran to his father-in-law Zhang Yong to plead for mercy, hoping to remedy it. But it's a pity that Zhang Rui, who fled quietly, was broken by Zhou Chong, and Gu Dayong had already seen him at this time, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

Hearing Gu Da's words in a rather unkind tone, Zhang Rui immediately changed to a flattering smile and said: "Father-in-law Gu misunderstood, the slave just saw that Father-in-law Gu and Gongzi Zhou had something to discuss, and I was worried that I would delay my father-in-law's affairs here, so I wanted to hide for a while, and wait until my father-in-law and Gongzi Zhou finished discussing the matter, and then come to salute my father-in-law!" ”

Don't look at Zhang Rui's usual cold look, but this is also a division of people, in the face of some people whose status is not as good as him, Zhang Rui can naturally treat it with this face, but in the face of people whose status is above him, he doesn't dare to talk to each other with his previous face when he is killed, after all, if you want to survive in that place in the palace, people who can't make sycophants and lose smiles are afraid that they will be killed a long time ago!

"Hmph, Zhang Yong is a sincere person, how could he teach you such a clever son?" Gu Dayong has been in the palace for many years, so naturally he won't believe Zhang Rui's words, but he continued, "I heard Zhou Gongzi say just now, you almost quarreled with Gongzi, what is going on?" ”

Zhang Rui was shocked when he heard that Zhou Chong had sued him, and his forehead was full of cold sweat all of a sudden, but he still argued strongly: "The father-in-law misunderstood, just now the slave and Zhou Gongzi were just discussing some things, and there were some disagreements with each other, and the slave was about to give up, but I didn't expect the father-in-law to come at this time." ”

When he said this, he saw Zhang Rui salute Zhou Zhong again and said: "Zhou Gongzi, it was all slaves just now, if there is any conflict in words, please don't mind!" ”

After Zhang Rui said the above words, he looked at Zhou Zhong with pleading in his eyes. Speaking of which, with his identity, he now took the initiative to apologize to Zhou Chong, and the words also revealed that he would not ask for the Bai sisters again, if he was an ordinary person, it might be just like that, after all, it is not a good thing to completely tear his face with a Dongchang governor.

However, when Zhou Zhong looked directly at Zhang Rui's eyes full of pleading, he always felt that Zhang Rui's begging was pretended now, with this kind of person's extremely distorted character, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely take revenge on himself madly, so he must not be soft-hearted now, since he offended the other party, he must fight harder, and it is best to let Zhang Rui never have the ability to retaliate against himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong smiled slightly in Zhang Rui's pleading eyes, turned his head and said to Gu Dayong next to him: "Father-in-law Gu, it's a coincidence, yesterday I took my family to Xiangshan to watch the maple leaves, and I just happened to meet Father-in-law Zhang, but Father-in-law Zhang saw that one of the concubines of the grass people was beautiful, and he actually asked me for it, and when I didn't agree, he threatened again, I don't know if these are misunderstandings?" ”

As soon as Zhou Chong's words came out, Zhang Rui's face suddenly turned extremely pale. Gu Dayong was also furious after hearing this, Zhang Rui made a mistake and deceived himself, the most important thing is that he didn't bully Zhou Chong for not having a long eye, this is asking for his own death, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

Thinking of this, Gu Dayong pointed at Zhang Rui and shouted again in a sharp voice: "Okay, you Zhang Rui, now that you are in the position of admiral eunuch, you think that your wings are hard, and you don't even pay attention to your father-in-law, come on, tie me up and slap my mouth twenty!" ”

Hearing Gu Dayong's order, the few little eunuchs behind him immediately agreed, and then surrounded Zhang Rui with a cruel smile. Zhang Rui sat on the position of the governor of Dongchang when he was young, which made many eunuchs in the palace very jealous, after all, some eunuchs have struggled all their lives, and they have only become eunuchs, but Zhang Rui is only in his twenties and is so beautiful, how can others not be jealous? It just so happened that these followers around Gu Dayong were one of them.

Zhang Rui also has people from Dongchang around him, but these followers are not stupid, Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers, is on an equal footing with Zhang Yong and Zhang Gong, how dare they offend? So these people hid very wisely, watching Zhang Rui being tied up, and then being slapped ten times by a tall and powerful eunuch, and Zhang Rui's entire face was already swollen and unpresentable.

After the fight, Gu Dayong smiled and said to Zhou Chong: "Zhou Gongzi, what do you think should be done with this Zhang Rui next?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Chong heard Gu Dayong ask his opinion, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but after the end, he thought about it for a moment and smiled, "Father-in-law Gu is too polite, and I don't know much about the rules of the palace, so everything is still up to my father-in-law!" ”

"Since the son looks at the Sprinkle family like this, then the Sprinkle family will be the master on his own." Hearing Zhou Chong say this, Gu Da smiled and said with a smile, and then saw his face change, and one of the little eunuchs commanded: "Wang Gui, you take a few people to send Zhang Rui to Zhang Yong, as for what he does, I don't care, but if the punishment is light, be careful that Your Majesty can't get by!" ”

Hearing Gu Dayong's order, the little eunuch named Wang Gui immediately agreed with a happy face, and then saluted Zhou Chong, and then left the palace with Zhang Rui, while the other little eunuchs all showed envious, jealous and hateful expressions, because there are errands to do in the palace, if they do it well, they may be appreciated by the superiors, and they will come out faster in the future.

Zhou Chong looked at Zhang Rui who was taken away by Wang Gui, and a sneer flashed on his face, but at this moment, Zhang Rui suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chong, and a look of resentment flashed again in his eyes that had been swollen into a slit, but unfortunately Zhou Chong didn't care at all, with Gu Da's face, as long as Zhang Rui was brought to Zhang Yong, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Next, Zhou Zhong invited Gu Dayong into the living room, and then said a few words of thanking him for upholding justice, and then asked about the other party's intention, and as he expected, Gu Dayong came to discuss with him this time to discuss the meeting with Emperor Zhengde.
