The meeting lasted until late, and then the courtiers left the temporary palace and headed for the temporary palace. It can be seen that every courtier who walked out of the palace has a solemn look on his face, but at the same time, some people's eyes flickered, as if they were thinking about something, and one of them had a gloomy face when he went home all the way, until the door of the mansion was closed from the inside, he relaxed and sat on the wooden chair in the study, and then slowly exhaled a long breath.

Just sitting on a chair with a body scattered and even the kerosene lamp in the study lit, this is a habit of his liking to think things in the dark. But this time, a voice appeared in his ear like a ghost: "Lord Chen, isn't it very annoying." ”

"Who is it?" Under the buttocks, he stood up like a spring, and Lord Chen looked panicked, and then cold sweat fell down his cheeks.

No wonder he was scared like this, this was his mansion, this was his study, and it was the safest and most secluded place he regarded as the safest and most secluded place on weekdays.

Unlike other Jiaozhi courtiers, most of those people are outsiders, but he is not, Chen Di is the court doctor of Jiaozhi State plus the position of Yin of Xiyu City. It's his home turf in this western city.

But even the place he regarded as so safe could be visited by strangers. His gaze was accustomed to the night, and what he saw was a dark shadow appearing in front of him.

There was no candlelight, which made the black shadow look more eerie and mysterious, and it was this feeling that made the goosebumps on this Lord Chen's body aroused. It is not difficult for him to imagine that if the person just now did not want to talk to himself, but wanted to embarrass himself, or even wanted to kill someone, wouldn't he have become a corpse that was gradually getting colder by now?

Chen Di was so nervous that his whole body was like a hedgehog with long thorns all over his body, and it seemed that he would burst out and hurt people at any time. All this fell in the eyes of the black shadow, and he smiled: "Lord Chen, don't make a fuss, I stand here and talk to you very kindly, without treating you badly, isn't this already an expression of my sincerity?" ”

"The sincerity of the devil." At this moment, Chen Di wanted to scold such a sentence in his heart. But he still didn't say it directly. Think about it, even if people can stand there, does it mean that they have already thought about how they will react, and if they scream now, what will be the consequences?

Chen Di, who never puts himself in danger, is forcing himself to calm down. In order to relieve his tension and the fear in his heart, he deliberately wanted to use words to stabilize the other party's words, "Who are you?" Why is it here? Aren't you afraid that if I call casually, I will attract the guards in the palace to kill you? ”

"No, no, no!" kept denying it, but there was indeed no hint of nervousness, and the black shadow said: "Lord Chen is a smart person, even if he is a smart person, he will definitely not look for death for no reason, am I right?" ”

"Shhh Chen Di, who gasped, sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, the other party already has the idea of killing himself, otherwise, he would not have said such threatening words, and if he hadn't been prepared, he wouldn't have behaved so easily." ”

sighed in his heart that he was still smart, and he didn't exclaim regardless of the overall situation. But at the same time, there is also a certain guess about the identity of the person who came, on the occasion of being besieged, someone will suddenly appear in front of him, who will send it, it seems to think with his big toes, and he can guess one or two. "Are you a loyal man?"

"Amazing, Lord Chen is worthy of being Lord Chen, and he is also worthy of being the smartest person in the Chen family's generation, and he guessed my identity so quickly. I wonder if you're interested in my coming? The black shadow laughed, and there was a picture of appreciation in his tone.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, who else can be here at this moment? It's just that I'm curious, this is my mansion, I've been in business here for several years, and the people who can get close to this study are all people I trust, so how can you be here? Mind telling me who is secretly helping you? It seemed to be curious, but in fact, Chen Di was testing the dark shadow, as if he wanted to get the answer he wanted from his mouth.

"Huh." Another chuckle was heard. The black shadow continued to speak: "Okay, Lord Chen, you are a smart person, but don't look at other people as fools, do you think I will casually say such a secret thing?" Of course, you can understand that money can make ghosts grind, and it seems that some people are sincere, just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough. After all, as long as there is money, there are still very few people and things in this world that can really be rejected, are you right? ”

Chen Di was silent. Indeed, in this world, although money is not everything, there are some things that work. It's like buying off some of their subordinates, if they really use money to smash them, some of them are still betrayed. After all, Jiaozhi is also a feudal dynasty, and in such a dynasty, people are divided into hierarchies. Even if there is rank, there will be injustice, and some people will have more money and power, and some people will have less.

For those who have very little, how many people can refuse when a large sum of money comes along?

Knowing that there was no point in dwelling on such a thing, Chen Di adjusted his mood and said, "Okay, I won't ask this question, but if you suddenly appear here, or in this way, there must be something asking me for help." If that's the case, then you can say it, but of course I still want to remind you that before you have something to say, it's best to think about the situation in front of you, if you ask too much, I just need to shout outside, and countless people will rush in and take your life. ”

At this time, Chen Di did not forget to threaten the other party, or said that he wanted to take the initiative in the matter, I have to say that this is indeed a smart person, at least he knows how to use his advantages to do things.

But it's a pity that this time Chen Di is facing the lark of the third group leader of the Foreign Affairs Group of the Security Bureau, a person who is valued very much by Deputy Director Yang San, and at the same time, Yang Chendong has met many times in private, and even mentions the person who was ordered to teach a lot of things.

Threats like this could not have been put in his eyes. As members of the Security Service, they have always believed in the adage that wealth is in danger.

Many times, in order to complete a task, it is not only necessary to do a lot of foreshadowing before doing things, especially at the last moment, it is necessary to risk your life, risk yourself, go deep into the tiger's den, go to the tiger mountain, etc., etc., which must be experienced.

For these senior agents of the Security Bureau, who have long put life and death aside and only have tasks and missions in their eyes, they are not even afraid of death, so why are they afraid of Chen Di's verbal threats? What's more, if Chen Di really yelled here, the first person to die must be this shouter.

So in the face of Chen Di's obviously somewhat unconfident voice, the lark continued to laugh and said, "No! As I said before, Master Chen is a smart person, so you won't do that kind of meaningless thing. The most important thing is that if you shout, you have to take your own life first, don't you? And there is no point in doing this, if you die, maybe many people will be secretly happy, and even a shame for the entire Chen family. After all, who knows if we are infighting because of unequal apportionment? ”

"You?" After being completely clarified by the lark, Chen Di's face became very ugly, he suddenly found that the other party was a devil, and people had already thought about everything, compared to himself who suddenly faced this dilemma, he really had too many factors not taken into account.

As the lark said, Chen Di may not be afraid of death, and he can even shout to attract the family members in the mansion to come, but in this way, he himself will definitely die, and he may die very poorly.

The Tran family is the second largest surname in Cochin, second only to the Nguyen family, and is a little stronger than the Lê family of the current king's line.

But it's a pity that ten years ago, Chen Heijin had a disagreement with his family and announced his separation from the Chen family, and it has begun to decline. Although there are still some forces on Wenchen's side, they are not even small. But there is no one in the military who can take a shot.

If a family can only grasp some public opinion, but does not have an effective army in its hands to support it, it can be imagined how much it will be constrained when it comes to doing things. Just like him Chen Di, although he has some ability, he is also smart, and he has a position as a court doctor, but more of them can only be confined to the acre of three points of land in Xiyu City. This is the disadvantage of not having military power in his hands, and there is no one to echo it, which makes his words less and less weightless.

As a result, the entire Chen family has become lighter and lighter in society, so that it looks like it is about to fall from the second family, and if it really comes to that time, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and there must be many people who are willing to step on it, and at that time it will be the biggest test for the entire Chen family.

Fortunately, all of a sudden, the war started, and then the mercenaries came, and then some of the previous actions against the Chen family disappeared. Of course, this is not that those people have given up the idea of sharing the benefits of the Chen family, but that when a bigger enemy appears, everyone voluntarily ignores their threat and existence.
