Chapter 65: I Wish to Take My Son as a Hostage
Hearing this, Bai Zhi and Zhong Wannian were stunned.
Especially Bai Zhi, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen, not understanding what was going on.
Xiao Chen's expression was very calm, but his sword eyebrows were lightly raised.
Wan Jian'an saw that Zhong Wannian was still stunned, raised his foot and kicked him hard, "Useless thing, why don't you quickly apologize to Miss Bai Zhi?" ”
Zhong Wannian slammed on the table, grinning in pain for a while, but he also woke up in fright.
He hurriedly endured the pain and got up, although he didn't know what it had to do with it, but it must be a big role to make Wan Jian'an so angry.
Zhong Wannian immediately didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to Bai Zhi with a grovel knee, raised his hand and slapped himself hard, "Look at my mouth!" It's all villains, they offended Miss Bai Zhi, and I hope Miss Bai Zhi and this young master will forgive their sins! ”
"Master, you have a lot of adults, don't be like villains!"
Xiao Chen snorted coldly, didn't bother to look at him, just looked at Wan Jian'an, and asked coldly, "I know you?" ”
Wan Jian'an hurriedly bent over, sincere and respectful, "The Overseer laughed. The lower officials have long admired the name of the overseer, but the lower officials are small and small, where can they be worthy of knowing the overseer? ”
"It's an honor for the lower officials to see you today!"
"Governor, Governor?" Zhong Wannian was so frightened that a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
Bai Zhi was also surprised, a pair of apricot eyes were round, and she looked at Xiao Chen incredulously.
I can't imagine that this little eunuch is so majestic outside?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wan Jian'an hurriedly said, "Overseer, why don't you let Lao Zhong take Miss Bai Zhi to the next room and talk about the delivery first, do you think it's okay?" ”
Zhong Wannian listened, and hurriedly came over to invite Bai Zhi, "Boss Bai, please hurry up, the villain will get all the goods in place for you." ”
Bai Zhi nodded, and was about to leave with him, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Xiao Chen.
"Then be careful yourself, don't take it lightly, if you have something to look for me, I'm next door." Bai Zhi approached Xiao Chen and whispered.
Xiao Chen glanced at her, but he didn't expect this little girl to care about herself.
After the two left, Wan Jian'an hurriedly trotted all the way to close the door, and then he hurriedly came to Xiao Chen to give a salute, "Wailang, a member of the official household department, Wan Jian'an, meet Lord Xiao!" ”
Xiao Chen nodded, raised his hand lightly, and motioned for him to "please take a seat."
Where does Wan Jian'an dare to sit? He personally pulled out a chair for Xiao Chen, served Xiao Chen to sit down, and then respectfully poured Xiao Chen a cup of tea, "Overseer, it's all the subordinates who teach their sons no way, so that bastard boy doesn't know that the sky is high and thick, and he actually dares to make trouble in front of you and cause trouble for you."
"The lower official will make amends to you for your crimes, and I hope that the overseer will not blame you!"
"What's the trouble?" How does Xiao Chen know who his son is? He asked with a slight frown.
Wan Jian'an looked at Xiao Chen's expression respectfully, and cautiously, "Among the group of official children you arrested before, there is a man named Wan Peng, do you remember?" ”
"Wan Peng?" Xiao Chen thought for a while, "Oh, it's a little impressive, but I didn't expect it to be your son." However, if Lord Wan wants to thank him for the grace of releasing people, then there is no need. After all, the release of people is not the credit of the official. ”
Wan Jian'an arched his hand in the direction of the palace, "Xia Guan understands that this is all thanks to the grace of the saint. ”
"But the lower officials also know that Lord Xiao has your hands and eyes to the sky, if you don't want to, then no one's order will be fulfilled! Therefore, Lord Xiao, you are the great benefactor of our father and son, and my father and son are grateful for your great kindness! ”
As he spoke, he bowed heavily, "Xiaguan, thank you Lord Xiao!" ”
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, this outsider has a bit of a trick on his body, and he is a smart person.
Since this is the case, Xiao Chen is too lazy to play dumb riddles with him, "Lord Wan, if there is anything, you can just say it, there is no need to detour." ”
The corners of Wan Jian'an's mouth trembled slightly, and a sense of urgency of death enveloped him, prompting him to seize this opportunity desperately and push it to the end, "The Overseer is merciful, please ask the Overseer to be merciful and save the lives of the old and young of the Xiaguan family!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Xiao Chen's cold eyes condensed slightly, and slowly fell on Wan Jian'an.
Wan Jian'an's throat choked, and the seven-foot man couldn't control his red eyes, "The case that was brought out by the arrest of Dongchang this time, the Zhou family is already looking for a replacement for the dead ghost." Xiaguan has no foundation in the court and no backing, and has been selected by them. ”
"But corruption is a matter of national ancestry, if anyone is arrested, it is not only a capital crime for one person, but also a major crime for exterminating the nine clans. It doesn't matter if the lower official dies alone, but the wife and children, the relatives and friends of the nine clans, the lower official can't help it! ”
"Mercy of the Overseer! The lives of the Xiaguan family, the old and the young, are all tied to the overseer! I hope that the Overseer will have mercy! ”
As he spoke, Wan Jian'an lifted the corners of his robe and knelt down heavily.
His tears dripped to the ground, dripping endlessly.
Xiao Chen frowned, leaned back in the chair and looked at him from afar, okay, it turned out to be a dog of the Zhou family.
It's just that it's hard to say whether this dog really rebelled or not. If it is really a rebellion, there will be a lot of places that can be used in the future, if you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, this is a time bomb for yourself.
"You came to ask Ben Du today, if the Zhou family knows about it, it will also be a mortal sin, have you ever thought about this?" Xiao Chen asked leisurely.
Wan Jian'an's hazy tears were filled with hatred for a while, and he wanted to cut Zhou's thousands of knives, "Anyway, it's all a death!" Instead of waiting to die doing nothing, it's better to give it a go! ”
"Overseer, the subordinate is willing to take all his power to join the Overseer, and in the future, he will only look forward to the Overseer!"
There was ruthlessness in his eyes, and this was indeed the look of a desperate man.
But Xiao Chen didn't answer him immediately, but squinted his eyes slightly and stared at him fixedly for a while, seeing that there was always only determination and hatred in his eyes, and there was no weakness in his heart, so he slowly spoke, "What do you mean, Ben Du understands." ”
"It's just that these two retainers are the most difficult to use, Lord Wan, you have taken refuge in me today in order to survive, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not turn to others in order to survive in the future. You say that you will bet on everything you have, but this statement is unfounded after all. ”
Wan Jian'an was shocked, and his tears were full of joy and hesitant fear in his eyes for a while.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes lightly, "Why, Lord Wan is still reluctant to come up with useful things?" ”
"But here in Bentui, it is not enough to sell miserably."
Wan Jian'an's expression changed several times, and it was as painful as cutting bones and stripping marrow.
In the middle of the night, he bowed heavily to the ground!
A trail of blood spread from his forehead to the ground, and his voice was resolute.
"Xiaguan, I am willing to take my son as a hostage!"
