From eunuch to emperor

The security officer Zhang Peng squinted his eyes to observe carefully, and said in a low voice, "This man is Wu Jian, Captain Xiaoqi of the Long Family Army."

The chief detainee nodded and said, "That's right, that's him. I heard that he was a eunuch in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It's true."

The Imperial City Division collected news from all over the world, and of course they also knew about Wu Jian's intelligence in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The security guard Zhang Peng was a little surprised: "How dare this Wu Jian not change his name?"

Hou Ping sneered and said, "He's the only one left among the [-] Long family troops, and it doesn't matter if they change or not."

"This Long Cheng'en is in the Governor's Mansion, find a way to sneak in."

Zhang Peng was a little embarrassed: "The governor's house is full of thieves, so it's hard to handle."

Hou Ping saw Wu Jian bought a bowl of wontons and went in, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "People have to eat and drink."

Zhang Peng understood in seconds and went to make arrangements immediately.

Hou Ping glanced at the governor's mansion again, turned around and mixed into the crowd.

In the nearby restaurant, Wuming, the leader of the dark guards, was quietly watching Hou Ping blend into the crowd.

"General, they seem to be from Nanliang."

The lieutenant next to him said in a low voice.

Wuming sneered and said: "Long Chengen captured Linjiang City and Caishi City, and Nanliang hated him to the bone. I guess this is someone from the Imperial City Division."

The lieutenant general asked: "Could it be that the third prince is also here?"

Wuming shook his head slightly: "Impossible, the third prince ran to Eastern Zhou alone, didn't he seek death?"

"I reckon that only the masters of the Imperial City Division were sent."

Wuming can tell that the other party is a member of the Imperial City Division, but the name and identity of the other party cannot be determined. They are all people hiding in the dark.

The lieutenant general asked: "Why don't you ask my brother to catch one and ask him?"

Wuming shook his head and said, "No, don't disturb them, so as not to cause bad things."

Wu Jian carried the wonton into the Governor's Mansion, Wuming and the two went downstairs and went back to another inn, continuing to plan how to kill Long Chen.

When Wuming left the restaurant, Feng He was looking at Hou Ping and Wuming through the gap in the window in the opposite inn room.

Wu Jian brought a large bowl of wontons into the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, and presented it to Long Chen: "My lord, wontons."

Long Chen picked up a spoon and ate half of it, and Zhang Qian ate the rest.

Chen Zu watched Long Chen finish eating, and thought to himself: Is this fellow guarding against us poisoning?I didn't eat the food last night, and I won't eat the food today. Does he know our identities?

Long Chen glanced at Chen Zu, and scolded: "Don't you know that I don't eat seafood!"

Chen Zu woke up like a dream, no wonder Long Chen didn't eat, that's why.

Some people are allergic to seafood, eating it is like being poisoned, Chen Zu knew it.

"Change dishes for adults!"

Chen Zu immediately opened his mouth, and Long Chen scolded again: "I finished eating, what do you want to change!"

Chen Zu was stunned by the scolding.

Last night, drinking and calling each other brothers, is that all for today?What's the situation?

Chen Zu asked timidly: "Then my lord..."

Wu Jian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you go to recruit soldiers, sir, rest for a while."

Chen Zu had no choice but to bring people down, and Long Chen sat down in the back office.

When he got outside, Chen Zu called a group of people over to discuss.

"What's going on? Why are you so angry today?"

Chen Zu felt strange, saying that the new official took office three fires, and it would have to be yesterday if he wanted to be disarmed.

Dou Yufei also felt strange: "It was fine last night, why did it suddenly flare up today? Does it make sense?"

Song Tongyang, the prefect of the county, said, "Why don't you ask Master Fayin?"

Chen Zu went out immediately, arrived at Xu's house, and found monk Fayin.

"Master, that Long Cheng'en is wrong today."

Monk Fayin is learning Huanxi Zen with his arms around a charming woman.

"How is it wrong?"

Fayin put down the woman, and smiled lewdly: "Go back and wait."

The woman said coquettishly: "Death."

The woman turned around and twisted the water snake's waist, Fa Yin couldn't help pinching her buttocks again, the woman turned her head and raised the silk scarf in her hand and cursed coquettishly, then turned around and squirmed into the inner room.

Chen Zu was stupefied by the woman's seductiveness, his eyes stared straight at the writhing waist and buttocks.

"Tell me, what's going on!"

Fa Yin said coldly.

Chen Zu came back to his senses, and explained Long Chen's situation carefully. Fa Yin frowned when he heard it, and said, "This Long Chengen, why is he so capricious?"

"He said that pirates robbed villages and towns. He obviously robbed us, but he planted us instead. Could it be that he is blackmailing us?"

Chen Zu shook his head and said, "Master, my brain is not enough."

Fa Yin got up and patted his belly, walked around the room a few steps, and said: "I gave him dancers yesterday, he seemed happy, but he didn't take any of them away in the end."

"Think about it, he's a eunuch, what's the use of having a dancer girl, what else can a man do if he doesn't know what to do."

"A man is greedy only for money and sex. If he is not greedy for sex, then he is greedy for money."

"You go back and give him the silver, and see what he means."

Chen Zu was a little embarrassed, and said: "We are all doing things, and we must ask Grandpa San Zu for the money."

Monk Fayin laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to give too much. Try giving some first, and ask the third grandfather if you want more."

Chen Zu patted his head and gave a thumbs up: "Master is still smart, I'll try it right away."

Chen Zu opened the door and went out, only to hear the woman inside calling Fayin to come in and play.

When Chen Zu returned to the Governor's Mansion, other officials were still waiting.

"What did Master Fayin say?"

People gathered around.

Chen Zu said: "The master asked us to give money, let's see what he means."

Dou Yufei said: "Didn't you say that Long Chengen doesn't charge money?"

Song Tongyang, the prefect of the county, said with a sneer, "If you are an official, you don't receive money. What do you do as an official?"

From ancient times to the present, there are thousands of officials, how many are honest officials who are not for money?

If an official is not greedy, how can he have the money to give gifts?

If you don't send gifts to the top, it's no wonder that the people above don't kill you!

Sima Dou Yufei agreed: "I think so too, try giving him money."

Chen Zu ordered Tao Zhigang, the chief bookkeeper, "Go and get 1 taels of silver."

Tao Zhigang immediately went to get the money.

Not long after, a small box was brought in, and Chen Zu asked the yamen servant to carry it into the back yamen.

Long Chen was leaning on the chair, Zhang Qian was standing behind her, pinching her shoulders and beating her back, Wu Jian was molesting the maid in the back office.

Chen Zu came to him with a shy face, and said: "My lord, please prepare a little courtesy for the little one, please accept it with a smile."

Turn around and say hello, the yamen servant came over carrying the box.

Wu Jian walked over, opened the box, and inside was a lot of silver.

Seeing Qian's eyes wide open, Long Chen said with a smile: "Chen Cishi is really sensible, so hurry up and accept it, don't let Mr. Cishi feel cold."

The Xiaoqi guards stepped forward and put the box aside, Long Chen beamed with joy, and asked: "How about the recruiting outside?"

Chen Zu knew that it was impossible to recruit soldiers and horses in the city, because these people knew that the pirates could not be defeated, and if they went there, they would die.

The most important thing is that this Qianjiang County is controlled by pirates. It is a big joke to recruit soldiers to kill pirates in the territory of pirates.

Chen Zu smiled and said: "My lord, I'm afraid the effect is not very good!"

Originally thought that Long Chen would yell at him, but Long Chen said kindly: "I don't blame you, it's normal that pirates are hard to defeat, and recruiting is hard."

"In this way, I will tell you something, if you do it well, the matter of the pirates will be over, how about it?"

Chen Zu was overjoyed and said, "My lord, please tell me."
