Chapter 223: Don't Ask for Anything
After the killer left, Chen Jin took someone over to check the situation...... Sure enough, something was wrong.
And Xiang Yichun also immediately said: "Gonggong Chen, when we knew that someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was going to be attacked by Jiang Rongfeng, we also prepared in advance, this is not the real Jiang Rongfeng, but a stand-in!" β
Chen Jin's eyes soothed a little, and he said, "Good job." β
Jiang Rongfeng must not die like this, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.
At the same time, Chen Jin also asked the master to follow him, and sure enough, his mother's parents found out that the killer was implicated in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After almost understanding the situation, Chen Jin rushed back to the palace with Xiang Yichun directly, and found Chu Yanwu who was in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty!"
Chen Jin bent down and saluted, "The slave has something important to inform you!" β
Chu Yanwu squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Jin's tone was calm: "Previously, Xiao Chen's subordinates reported that it was the Prime Minister who sent someone to assassinate Jiang Rongfeng!" After the slave learned of this, he quickly went over to investigate the situation and found that a killer from the Prime Minister's Mansion had assassinated Jiang Rongfeng. β
Chu Yanwu was furious, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion assassinated Jiang Rongfeng?" β
Chen Jin's tone was extremely determined: "When Xiao Chen's subordinates reported, we arrived there in advance, and we did see that someone had framed us, and I sent a master to follow him, and the killer found out that he was indeed involved with the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion...... It was definitely not Xiao Chen's doing. β
"But our side has been prepared for a long time, and the Jiang Rongfeng they killed is just a stand-in."
Chu Yanwu also knew that Chen Jin would never deceive himself.
In this way, Chu Yanwu was even more angry.
He took the case: "Zhou Tianfu's old puppet is simply too deceitful!" β
Chen Jin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, it can be judged now, Chu Yanwu definitely colluded with Jiang Rongfeng, otherwise why would Chu Yanwu assassinate Jiang Rongfeng?" It's nothing more than to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! β
Hearing this, Chu Yanwu's eyes were filled with anger: "If this is the case, then I can also conclude that the previous money was his greed for ink!" β
Chen Jin also took the opportunity to say: "That's 2.4 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 240,000 taels of gold!" β
"Almost a tenth of our country's annual tax revenue! The treasury does not have so much surplus in a year! And this is just Zhou Tianfu's corruption from one place in three years...... Your Majesty, Zhou Tianfu is sinister! β
Chu Yanwu was also furious: "This old man should be beheaded!" β
Chen Jin also said: "You can't keep him!" β
"But Your Majesty, Zhou Tianfu's forces are indeed terrifying, and I feel that we should think about it in the long run...... I'm afraid it won't be good to attack him rashly......"
Chu Yanwu actually understood that it was impossible to kill Zhou Tianfu.
This guy is not only influential in the court, but also widely implicated in the major families, and he even stretched out his hand to the harem...... You can't kill it.
Chu Yanwu, who calmed down, asked Chen Jin again: "Big companion, what do you think of me?" β
Chen Jin pondered and spoke: "Your Majesty, in fact, this is also simple. β
"As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits...... Looking at the current situation, Xiao Chen and that Zhou Tianfu are fighting endlessly, it is better to let Xiao Chen fight Zhou Tianfu down, and we will reap the benefits! β
However, thinking of the man, the main Chu Yanwu couldn't help but be a little complicated.
Although Xiao Chen is quite talented and has won his heart, the key problem is that he is not greedy for a penny this time...... This made Chu Yanwu feel a little uneasy.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Companion, you said that there is greed in the hearts of people in this world...... Xiao Chen didn't take a penny when he went south this time, what did he think? β
Chu Yanwu was not only a little depressed and complicated, but even a little uneasy.
It was a gut feeling on his part.
Everyone in the world wants, and those who have no desires are just asking for too much and are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Chen Jin didn't seem to be in a hurry at this time, he smiled a little, and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't think of this matter this time, and it can only be regarded as dark under the lamp." β
"It's dark under the lights?"
Chu Yanwu muttered and asked, "Big companion, in front of me, don't sell Guanzi, just say it quickly." β
"Slaves really shouldn't sell to Your Majesty! The minion will talk to His Majesty in detail! β
Chen Jin said slowly: "Actually, there are only so many kinds of desires, which are nothing more than material desires and lusts...... And what is Xiao Chen, he is the same as a minion, he is a eunuch, these people have lost their roots, they have no lust! β
Chu Yanwu snorted: "This is true, what can a crippled person do?" β
Chen Jin coughed and continued:
"But he is young, and he probably can't settle down, he can't face the reality, and he must have a yearning for that person's great desires......"
Chu Yanwu suddenly remembered something, and said "Huh", and said: "Big Companion, you said that, I remembered, you told me before, Xiao Chen went to Dali Temple and collected a lot of martial arts cheats, and even rare pills!" β
Chen Jin also smiled and said: "It's good that Your Majesty thought of it, in fact, the slave also asked him for the Great Returning Pill that can increase his strength, and he asked for it in the name of His Majesty!" β
Chu Yanwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Did he give it?" β
Chen Jin replied: "If it were given to the minion, it would not say such a thing...... Even if Xiao Chen received the order from the minion, he turned a deaf ear and pretended to be deaf and dumb...... I didn't return the big Dan to the minions at all! β
Chu Yanwu sneered, stroked his beard, and said, "In this way, I will understand what he thinks." β
"I'm also soothing in my heart...... If Xiao Chen asks for a lot, I will still feel that he is not under my control...... and if he is just pursuing the great desires of people, then I don't have to worry about anything! β
In fact, Chu Yanwu was still sneering in his heart.
No matter how powerful Xiao Chen is, he is just a eunuch...... Even if you collect more martial arts cheats, don't think about being the same as a normal man for the rest of your life!
Even Chu Yanwu had a little joy in his heart.
Chen Jin also hurriedly said: "Xiao Chen is indeed too naΓ―ve!" β
"Since ancient times, there have been no martial arts masters in the Great Interior, but no one can transform heaven and man, from yin to yang!"
"He's just wishful thinking!"
Chu Yanwu nodded: "It's nothing to be wishful thinking...... This slave just refuses to accept his fate and is just asking for hardship...... When he hits the south wall in the future, he will definitely be a little more restrained! β
