From eunuch to emperor

"My lord can kill two assassins in ambush underwater. It's really good."

Dugu Jiali praised.

If she was in the water and two water ghost assassins suddenly appeared, she would definitely die.

After checking the corpse, Wu Jian said, "I'm sure it's from the Imperial City Department, and it should be from the Water Department."

The imperial city division is divided into several divisions, and the water division is responsible for assassinating in places densely covered with water networks.

Long Chen said: "They heard that I came to wipe out pirates, so it is very reasonable to send people from the water department."

Dugu Jiali blamed herself and said: "The assassin has lurked in the barracks, and he will fail to find out, and will eventually fail his duty."

Long Chen said with a smile: "It's none of your business, the people of the Imperial City Division are all-pervasive, it's normal that they can't guard against it."

In the military tent, Bai Tingting was tied up with a rope. She moved her body and wriggled out like a caterpillar. She laughed and said, "You deserve it, officer dog, everyone wants you to die!"

Long Chen frowned, and said: "Gag her mouth, hang it up, don't take it down for her except for eating."

The soldiers immediately complied and hung Bai Tingting on a tree next to the barracks.

"Throw the body into the water."

Long Chen entered the military tent, followed by Wu Jian and Zhang Qian, the soldiers disposed of the corpses, and Dugu Jiali led the troops to search the surroundings.

Sitting in the military tent, Wu Jian said worriedly: "The Secretary of the Imperial City has started to attack, sir, please pay attention to safety."

Long Chen felt a little strange, and said: "I feel that this time it was their impromptu idea. If they really want to attack me, they should send some powerful people to act together. Why are there only three of them?"

Zhang Qian asked: "My lord, what you mean is that they are watching us from the barracks, and your lord just went into the water, so they did it impromptu."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "I reckon it is, if there is a deliberate assassination, I'm afraid I have already confessed."

Zhang Qian's heart trembled, regretting that she didn't stay by the side just now, in case something happened to Long Chen, how would she explain it.

With a sad face, Wu Jian said, "The Imperial City Secretary is extremely difficult to deal with, we have to be careful."

Both he and Long Chen belonged to the Long Family Army, and knew that the Imperial City Division was built by Li Chengdao, not a mob.

Long Chen looked at the sky that was getting dark, thinking about tomorrow's affairs in his mind.

...

In the city, in the single room of the market inn.

The chief detainee, Hou Ping, and the detainee, Zhang Peng, were sitting on a stool, and a man of unremarkable appearance stood in front of them.

"Let you monitor Long Chengen, who told you to do it!"

Hou Ping's voice was flat, but the man was trembling with fright.

The spy system has the power of life and death. If he dies, he will die. No one will hold him accountable. Hou Ping can kill him at any time.

"My lord, we were watching from the side. We just happened to see Long Chengen going into the water alone, without any defenses. The little one thought that the opportunity was once in a thousand years, so... ordered to do it."

The man in front of him is the leader of this assassination, he has been hiding in the woods to watch, when the crossbowman on the bank was shot, he left quietly, so Long Chen didn't notice.

Hou Ping's eyes were cold, and he said, "What do you think? You think you can do it, so you do it. You are the detainee."

The man knelt on the ground slowly, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "My lord, please forgive me, but I know my mistake."

Zhang Peng got up slowly and walked towards the man. The man felt the breath of death and trembled all over.

Zhang Peng walked up to the man and pierced his neck with a black poisonous needle in his hand. The man's body instantly relaxed and he collapsed on the ground.

Back at the table, Zhang Peng asked: "Long Chengen must have discovered our existence, what should we do?"

As an assassin, the most important thing is to be surprised. This assassination exposed the whereabouts of the Imperial City Secretary, and Hou Ping also felt very passive.

"Incompetent bungler."

Hou Ping sighed, and kept thinking about how to adjust the plan in his mind.

"The plan to infiltrate the governor's mansion continues. The others are temporarily hidden. Don't act rashly any more. Anyone who breaks the law will be killed!"

The officer Zhang Peng took the order, picked up the corpse on the ground, carried it out of the room, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.

...

Xu house.

Xu Zhi sat in the middle, with Yuan Tengfei and Wang Zhong next to him, monk Fayin sat at the end, and Chen Zu stood beside him serving tea and water.

"That's the way it is. I guess his appetite may be a bit big. What do you mean?"

Xu Zhi finished talking, waiting for the other two people's thoughts.

Yuan Tengfei knocked on the table, and Chen Zu hurriedly refilled him with a cup of tea.

"If Long Chengen can cover things up, I think he can give money. I'm worried that this guy won't do anything after taking money."

Yuan Tengfei regards Qianjiang County as his own property, if he can control this place for a long time, sending money to Long Chen is also acceptable.

Wang Zhong echoed: "I'm also worried about this. He's a eunuch from the capital. He collected the money and ran back to complain to the empress, and then led troops to attack us. What should we do?"

Chen Zu laughed in a low voice and said, "Grandpa Sanzu, Long Chengen dared to go to the empress to sue after taking the money?"

Xu Zhi sneered, "Who can prove that he took the money?"

Chen Zu smiled and shut up.

Fa Yin said: "I have a solution, why don't we pay it separately, and give a little every year. In order to have money every year, he will hide it for us."

Wang Zhong was overwhelmed and praised: "The master is indeed a scholar. He understands things when he thinks about things. He pays in installments and a little money every year. He often comes and goes."

Xu Zhi and Yuan Tengfei also felt that Fayin's words made sense.

Chen Zu smiled and poured tea for Fayin, flatteringly said: "Master is extremely smart, as long as Long Chengen's words are effective, our money will not be wasted."

The mage suddenly raised his head to stare at Chen Zu, Xu Zhi's expression also changed suddenly, Chen Zu put down the teapot in fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Grandpa Sanzu, the little one talks too much, the little one slaps his mouth!"

Chen Zu slapped himself with both hands.

Xu Zhi ignored it, let Chen Zu slap himself, and only said to Fa Yin: "Yes, what if Long Chengen's words are not useful?"

Fa Yin touched his bare forehead, and said: "The news from the capital, this Long Chengen is indeed very favored, he put the princess to sleep, it is said that the Empress also likes him."

Yuan Tengfei said: "Let's see it tomorrow, anyway, let's say this first."

All four agree.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yuan Tengfei and Wang Zhong got up and went home, while Chen Zu knelt on the ground and slapped his face.

"Stop fanning, I didn't say you were wrong."

Xu Zhizhi walked over, and Fayin followed behind.

When the two went out, Chen Zucai stopped, covered his face and went back to the governor's mansion.

Just entering the door, a yamen servant asked: "My lord's face..."

Snapped!

Chen Zu slapped the servant's face with his backhand, and cursed, "Ask your mother!"

Chen Zu is still the boss in this yamen, he can beat people.

The yamen servant was beaten, and he had to apologize, and said, "My lord, a cook came today and said he was good at cooking..."

Snapped!

Another slap on the face of the yamen servant, Chen Zu scolded: "You ask me about such a thing, I am the governor!"

The yamen servant covered his face and dared not speak.

Inspector Chen Zu entered the back office angrily, and the yamen servant cursed in a low voice: "I really think of myself as the governor, I'm sorry!"

The yamen servant turned around and went into the kitchen, where a simple-looking old man was sitting in front of the stove.

Seeing the yamen servant coming in, the old man hurriedly got up and greeted: "My lord, I can..."

Snapped!

The yamen servant slapped the old man on the face and cursed: "I got two slaps because of your business!"

The old man bowed his head and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry for the small trouble, sir, please accept my kindness."

The old man fumbled for a long time from his pocket, took out some broken silver, and handed it to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant took it and spat: "Leave it!"

The old man nodded and bowed to send the yamen servant out.
