From eunuch to emperor

"Outside the three members, I am the official of the two ministers, and I am also the chief eunuch of the harem. To put it bluntly, I have slept with the princess, and I have served the empress. As long as you give me money, I guarantee that this Qianjiang County will be yours." Yes, you can do whatever you want!"

Long Chen said it confidently, but Zhang Qian complained about Long Chen in her heart.

Xu Zhi and the three of them looked at each other in dismay. Although the words were crude, they were reasonable.

Both the princess and the empress have slept, and the affairs of the court will definitely be settled.

Inspector Chen Zu couldn't help asking: "My lord, aren't you... an eunuch? How did you do it?"

Long Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Zu to ask such a question.

"I have my own tricks, if you want to learn, you have to pay."

Governor Chen Zu still wanted to ask, but was frightened away by Xu Zhi's gaze.

"How much does the adult want?"

Xu Zhi asked for the other two.

Long Chen knocked on the table and said: "Master Inspector said that there are 10 pirates here. If I want to put down the pirates, I need at least 10 soldiers and horses. Calculated at 10 taels of silver per soldier, at least 100 million Two denarii."

hiss...

Xu Zhi and the three felt their teeth ache.

According to this calculation, each person will have to pay more than 33 silver, which is not a small sum.

"My lord, this...too much."

Wang Zhong couldn't help standing up and said.

Although they are pirates, they feel that the money has been robbed with hard work, and accumulated by killing people with one knife and one gun.

This Long Chen has a red mouth and white teeth, and it costs 100 million taels to open his mouth, which is really too bad.

Xu Zhibai glanced at Chen Zu, and said: "My lord, how can there be 10 pirates, those pirates on Ghost Island can only survive 3, so they don't need so much money."

Long Chen was secretly delighted, he never expected to find out the real situation from Xu Zhi.

Long Chen's face darkened, and he said: "Mr. Xu, you are lying about the military situation. Inspector Chen clearly said that there are 10, but you said there are only 3. Do you want me to underestimate the enemy?"

Chen Zu hurriedly said: "My lord, it is true that there are only 3, only 3, and the rest are mobs who took advantage of the chaos."

Long Chen turned his head and scolded angrily: "Chen Inspector, how dare you lie about the military situation!"

Chen Zu immediately explained: "My lord, I am afraid that you will blame me, so I said a little more, so as to shirk responsibility, my lord calm down."

Long Chen's face was gloomy, and he said: "That can't be less than 30 taels. I still have to recover Zhenhai County, so there are plenty of places to use money for troops."

Yuan Tengfei said: "Sir, if we help you regain Zhenhai County, the money..."

Long Chen frowned, and asked: "Master Yuan is really capable, you can recover the city that was occupied by pirates?"

Yuan Tengfei's expression froze, and he quickly shut up.

Xu Zhi scolded Yuan Tengfei for being an idiot in his heart, for saying such things in order to save money.

Long Chen said coldly: "If you can help me regain Zhenhai County, I can ask for less."

Yuan Tengfei was overjoyed and said, "Is what your lord said true?"

Long Chen nodded, and said: "Really, if you can help me regain Zhenhai County, I only need 20 taels."

Xu Zhi was still secretly calling Yuan Tengfei an idiot just now, but now he feels that Yuan Tengfei is a genius.

Zhenhai County is already an abandoned city, and it is useless to occupy it. As long as the troops are withdrawn, they can save 10 taels, which is definitely a good deal.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will find someone to recover Zhenhai County."

Wang Zhong said happily.

At this time, Xu Zhi tentatively asked: "My lord, to be honest, we have some small money, but if we take out 20 yuan at a time, it will be a lot of pressure."

Long Chen slapped the table and scolded: "What do you mean! Don't you want to give 20!"

Xu Zhi immediately said: "My lord, don't misunderstand, we want to do this, we give you 6 taels of honor every year, you see..."

Long Chen sat silently, squinting his eyes and looked at the three of them coldly.

The three of Xu Zhi didn't know whether Long Chen would agree to this plan or not.

Inspector Chen Zu was very nervous, he was afraid that things would collapse.

After a long time, Long Chen suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Three old brothers, we will be brothers from now on, I guarantee that this place will always be yours."

call...

The three of Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was settled.

If you send money to Long Chen every year, then Long Chen will always help them hide the truth, everyone is like grasshoppers on the same rope.

"My lord, besides the three officials, the lower officials are preparing a little wine in the back office, shall we have a drink together?"

Chen Zu is like a little brother.

Long Chen got up and said with a smile: "It is necessary, I have made friends with three old brothers today, so I want to have a drink."

The three of Xu Zhi were also happy, and said: "My lord, you are welcome, please!"

Several people entered the backyard together. There was a table of banquets in the yard. An old cook brought the wine and dishes to the table, and then went down with his head down.

Long Chen glanced at the old cook out of the corner of his eye, and then sat in the upper seat, while Zhang Qian and Wu Jian still stood by to guard.

The four of Xu Zhi sat down, Chen Zu sat on the left, and Xu Zhi sat on the right.

The yamen servant came up to pour the wine, and the dishes and chopsticks were all set.

"My lord, we offer you a toast."

Chen Zu raised his glass, Long Chen also raised his glass...

Zhang Qian stopped Long Chen, and said, "My lord, first try to see if it's poisonous."

Xu Zhi laughed and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this is our territory, how can it be poisonous, don't worry."

Saying that, Xu Zhi and the others should do it first.

Long Chen was not in a hurry to drink, and handed the wine to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian took out the silver needle and dipped it in the wine, and the silver needle immediately turned black.

"poisonous!"

Zhang Qian poured the wine on the ground, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian drew their swords immediately, Xiaoqi guards drew their swords together, and surrounded Xu Zhi and the others.

Long Chen sneered and said: "Chen Inspector, Xu Yuanwai, you want to poison me to death!"

puff...

Xu Zhi spit out the wine from his mouth, but Yuan Tengfei didn't drink it yet, Wang Zhong drank it down.

"Piss, shit!"

Wang Zhong grabbed his own throat and tried to pick the root of his tongue, but he couldn't get it out.

The yamen servant immediately brought a ladle of excrement and urine from the latrine, Wang Zhong took a sip, and then vomited it out.

Although he vomited out, Wang Zhong still rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, Xu Zhi yelled for a doctor.

The back office was in chaos, Long Chen looked cold, and asked: "Chen Zu, you dare to murder the imperial envoy!"

Chen Zu shook his head again and again, and said: "My lord, I didn't poison it. If I poisoned him, how could I poison the third grandfather?"

Xu Zhi coughed up a mouthful of black blood from his throat. Although he didn't drink it, it got into his mouth and was poisoned.

Zhang Qian said: "Master, they poisoned and killed them together!"

Long Chen stopped him and said, "No, they didn't poison you."

"Chen Zu, if you don't give me an explanation, I will go back to Beijing and sue you for colluding with pirates and murdering imperial envoys! Your Majesty will definitely send troops to pacify Qianjiang County."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian protected Long Chen and rushed out of the Governor's Mansion, and immediately got on their horses and left the city to return to the barracks.

In the Governor's Mansion, Xu Zhi kept coughing up blood, and Chen Zu kept urging the doctor to come to rescue him earlier.

Soon, the doctor entered the back office to detoxify Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong.
