Chapter 312: Underestimating this old thief
It didn't take long for Chu Yanwu to announce his retirement from the dynasty.
And Xiao Chen also returned to his private house first.
Concubine Shu is waiting for herself.
When she saw Xiao Chen coming, she asked:
"How's it going today?"
Xiao Chen smiled:
"The situation is okay, Chu Yanwu agreed to Zhang Dongyang's request, saying that he could let him go to investigate the remnants of the Zhou family in the court!"
After thinking for a moment, Concubine Shu said:
"Did he hesitate or think about it?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, sighed and said:
"Not really."
"I feel that Chu Yanwu almost wishes that Zhang Dongyang would take over this job...... Mainly in the court, many people have collusion with Zhou Tianfu, and this matter is not something that everyone is willing to do. ”
"Moreover, as long as Zhang Dongyang has this credit, Chu Yanwu can take advantage of the situation to bring it up, and then check and balance me! 、”
Concubine Shu also thinks so:
"Reasonable......
"After all, you are not only the overseer of Dongchang, who solved the corruption in Jiangdong Province, but also participated in the counterinsurgency!"
"The credit for the work is great...... It's already a bit beyond his deadline, and he also needs to find a new official to replace Zhou Tianfu to check and balance you,"
There was also a sense of "honor" in her tone.
Xiao Chen is also happy:
"To put it simply!"
"Chu Yanwu is just worried that I may become bigger and stronger!"
"That's why I handed over this fat difference to Zhang Dongyang so happily"
When Concubine Shu heard the word "fat difference", she covered her mouth and smiled:
"That's fine......
"But don't mumble here, didn't you want to give this thing to Zhang Dongyang in the first place?"
"Now I can't bear it, it's really too much......"
Xiao Chen gently hugged Concubine Shu's waist, and blew in her ear:
"What the hell is this!"
"Anyway, I just think that it is best to get rid of Zhou Tianfu's team as soon as possible, and Zhang Dongyang is the most suitable candidate."
"In addition, Chu Yanwu doesn't know the relationship between me and Zhang Dongyang!"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth hooked.
At this point, Chu Yanwu probably didn't expect it!
Concubine Shu leaned her face into Xiao Chen's arms, listened to Xiao Chen's heartbeat, and said:
"By the way, you didn't tell me."
"Today, is Zhou Tianfu going to be beheaded?"
Xiao Chen's eyes sank a little, and he said:
"That's right, today is the day of Zhou Tianfu's questioning, to be honest, it's been delayed for a while......"
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to go over with me to watch the ceremony today, but when Zhou Tianfu's head hits the ground, I can take you to a place!"
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, and then asked softly, "Are you talking about the gold and silver mountains before?" ”
Xiao Chen touched his nose, a little embarrassed.
He also forgot that he had told Concubine Shu about this before......
Xiao Chenqing coughed, and said with a smile:
"Indeed, it's that mountain of gold and silver!"
"Zhou Tianfu's head has landed, let's leave again...... Just tonight! ”
Concubine Shu nodded slowly.
But just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and raised his eyes again: "Come in!" ”
In the next moment, Xiang Yichun rushed in quickly.
His face was full of anxiety, and he even had a sense of panic.
Before Xiao Chen could speak, he asked directly:
"What's going on?"
Xiang Yichun gasped and said:
"Something is wrong!"
"Lord Overseer, there's something wrong with the prison...... All the guards died, and those henchmen of the Zhou family also died a lot, and Zhou Tianfu disappeared! ”
Concubine Shu became flustered, and her hands couldn't help but clench together.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, took a deep breath, and said:
"It's really not that simple this week......
"And this time, Chu Yanwu is probably going to have a headache!"
Concubine Shu was flustered, gritted her teeth, and asked:
"If Zhou Tianfu hadn't died...... I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court again! ”
"And we can't guarantee that Zhou Tianfu will not take revenge on us."
Xiao Chen smiled:
"Zhou Tianfu, this guy is indeed scheming!"
"Today's noon and even afternoon is a celebration feast...... In the evening, it was time for him to be beheaded! ”
"His escape from the prison at this point in time can be regarded as thoughtful...... Even I suspect that he buried some chess pieces and manipulated it all! ”
Xiang Yichun sighed and said:
"Lord Overseer, should we step up our vigilance these days...... to prevent Zhou Tianfu from sending someone to assassinate you......"
Xiao Chen nodded:
"It's inevitable!"
"Safety is the most important thing, and there are definitely more than a few masters under Zhou Tianfu!"
"But Zhou Tianfu won't send his main force to my side, but you still have to pay attention."
After saying this, he rubbed his forehead.
What an eventful time......
Xiang Yichun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly spoke:
"Lord Overseer, my subordinates suddenly remembered something!"
Xiao Chen also remembered something, and said:
"By the way, I asked you to send someone to guard Zhou Tianfu's treasure in Bishan, did you go?"
Previously, Yun Zhonghe, Xiang Yichun and others found the Zhou family's stronghold in Bishan.
Later, they found out that there was a hidden treasure inside.
To be honest, Xiao Chen also planned to go over one day and deal with it.
But now, Zhou Tianfu has disappeared...... Xiao Chen suspects that there will be problems there!
Xiang Yichun's eyes were a little worried:
"We've already sent someone over......"
"However, the Dongchang was handed over to Gonggong Chen before, and the large troops that were originally stationed there have returned, and only some of our cronies are guarding over there!"
Xiao Chen didn't say much:
"We've got to go check it out!"
Without further ado, Xiao Chen took Concubine Shu and Xiang Yichun to the treasure place near Bishan.
This place is not too far from the capital, and it only took a few hours to get there.
And after Xiao Chen passed, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Because there's no one here......
There should be their own people stationed here.
And Xiang Yichun over there gritted his teeth and launched a signal firework.
It wasn't long before several people came on fast horses.
One of them turned over and fell, it was Lin San.
Lin San stepped forward and said to Xiao Chen:
"Lord Overseer, we were just about to inform you of something!"
Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin San smiled bitterly and said:
"The treasure you let us guard has been ransacked!"
"The treasures inside are gone...... And after we investigated, we found that someone had opened a secret tunnel and took away all the things! ”
"It's the dereliction of duty of the subordinates, and I ask the Overseer to condemn him!"
Xiao Chen didn't feel puzzled.
And he also knew that even punishment would not help.
So he just shook his head:
"You don't have to be too nervous!"
"Actually, I underestimated Zhou Tianfu, the old thief!"
