Chapter 218 The Zhu Family Granary is Shaking
"Eunuch Wei, it's so early in the morning, could it be that the palace can't even provide breakfast?"
"Young Master Chu is too kind. His Majesty has sent me to invite you to the palace."
As he spoke, Eunuch Wei walked into the house without any politeness.
Two maids were cooking egg noodles in the kitchen, and the aroma filled the entire house.
As a master of the ninth rank, how could he not smell it?
Chu Chen understood his meaning perfectly: "Eunuch Wei, you've come at the right time. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's eat together."
After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen, and asked the two maids to cook more noodles and fry more eggs.
I bet this eunuch Wei's meals aren't much better; he must be eating bland food.
"Since Young Master Chu is so hospitable, how can I, Old Wei, refuse?"
"His Majesty must have been exhausted last night and is still asleep. There's no rush."
Chu Chen gave him a disdainful look after hearing this.
This old man is starting to become shameless too. Sure enough, people can change.
Chen Qingxuan got up looking dejected, walked up to Eunuch Wei, and called out, "Senior Wei."
She grabbed her toiletries and rushed to the sink.
Wei Gonggong still held Zhu Liuxiang's apprentice in high esteem.
He smiled and returned the greeting, then sat down at the table to wait for his meal.
Seeing this, Chu Chen went outside and pulled Wei Gonggong's attendant inside as well.
As luck would have it, it was the eunuch who had helped him assign rooms that day.
"Haha, what a coincidence! Without you, there wouldn't be such a nice house. Let's have something to eat together."
"Young Master Chu, I've already eaten."
Chu Chen gave Eunuch Wei a disdainful look again: "What I said today is, sit here and don't be afraid."
Eunuch Wei smiled and didn't take it seriously. They were all his people, and he was happy to take more of Chu Chen's people.
So he gestured for him to sit down.
After the two maids cooked the noodles three times, Eunuch Wei and the young eunuch finally put down their chopsticks.
Seeing this, Chu Chen gave him another thumbs up. Are all eunuchs this good at eating?
"Young Master Chu, now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, come with me to the palace."
Chu Chen slung his backpack over his shoulder and followed the two straight toward the palace.
The little eunuch, perhaps having eaten too much, kept suppressing the urge to burp...
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei wanted to beat him to death on the spot; it was too damn shameful.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, Zhou Shixun was already inside, beginning his day's work.
"Chuwazi has arrived, please take a seat."
Zhou Shixun was scribbling on the folded paper with the water-based pen that Chu Chen had given him, looking very serious.
Seeing this, Chu Chen didn't disturb him, but quietly sat in the chair and waited for him to get busy.
After a long while, Zhou Shixun finally raised his head.
"Chuwazi, do you know where the most grain is produced in the entire Great Xia Dynasty?"
"That goes without saying, Uncle Zhou definitely has the most."
"Besides the royal family, what else?"
Judging from Zhou Shixun's tone, Chu Chen could tell that the guy was really holding back.
"This nephew doesn't know..."
"Haha, when did Chu start pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
Uh oh, that kills the conversation.
Zhou Shixun stood up and walked to Chu Chen.
"Of the Liu, Zhu, and Wen families, you've already dealt with two. What about the Zhu family?"
"Does Chuwazi have any good ideas?"
When Chu Chen heard that Zhou Shixun wanted to use him as a weapon, he knew he needed to think things through carefully.
If this isn't handled properly, it could be dangerous.
"What can I, an ordinary citizen, do?"
After hearing this, Chu Chen quickly put on an innocent expression and grinned at Zhou Shixun.
"Oh, Old Wei, could it be that this Chu kid wants to be an official? What kind of position should we give him?"
What kind of comprehension is this? What do you mean, "I want to be an official"?
That thing can't be pawned.
So he quickly said to Eunuch Wei, "Eunuch Wei, Uncle Zhou is joking. I'm used to being carefree and unrestrained, I can't be an official."
"Alright, Uncle Zhou, let me think about it. You just want his family's grain, right? I'll go back and think about it and give you an answer later."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he compromised with Zhou Shixun.
There's no way around it. If they actually offer you an official position, will you accept it or not?
If you accept the offer, there will be even more trouble; if you don't, Zhou Shixun can use public opinion to bring you down in no time.
"Alright, with Chu's words, we can rest assured, right, Lao Wei!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, with Young Master Chu on the case, what problem can't be solved?"
Watching the two of them sing in unison, Chu Chen felt an urge to pull out his ukulele and attack them.
He thought to himself, "What kind of person is he who thinks about taking advantage of me every day?"
But now that the agreement has been made, it should be resolved.
Seeing this, Chu Chen bid farewell to the two and returned to his own residence.
Chen Qingxuan looked at Chu Chen's worried expression and asked in confusion.
"You idiot, what's wrong? Did that hermaphrodite bully you?"
"You drunkard, do you even know anything about the Zhu family?"
Chen Qingxuan immediately realized what Zhou Shixun had asked him to do.
So they're going to target the Zhu family.
I couldn't help but admire Zhou Shixun; he was so busy with disaster relief that he was overwhelmed with work.
He, on the other hand, took advantage of this natural disaster to eliminate his rivals.
So he said to Chu Chen, "He wants you to take action against the Zhu family."
"Yes, but I really can't think of a good way to become Zhou Shixun's knife."
"Then you can just refuse."
“You drunkard, His Majesty said that since we can’t deal with the Zhu family, he’ll give you an official position.”
"Holy crap, let's get them, let's get the Zhu family, let's take them down..."
Chen Qingxuan became excited immediately after hearing this.
If he becomes an official, how can he openly frequent the Red Romance Park in the future?
"Don't get excited, you drunkard. What we need to think about now is how to get it done."
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly grabbed him. Who the hell wants to be an official?
Chen Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "You're really stupid, you idiot. You can handle Ganpu, so dealing with the Zhu family will be even simpler for you."
I really hadn't thought about it that way.
Perhaps this is what they mean by "the bystander sees more of the game."
Chu Chen immediately felt relieved; how could he not have thought of that?
"Go and take all the gold and silver jewelry from the Zhu family, that will cut off their financial resources."
"Then they set fire to his granary. How could the Zhu family possibly survive?"
Looking at Chen Qingxuan's eloquent and imposing manner.
Chu Chen immediately had an idea: Zhu family, just wait and see your granary shake up.
"Alright, you drunkard, let's make our move tonight. I'm going to burn down their grain depot, but I need your help."
"Don't worry, this time I'll go without hesitation."
After saying that, Chen Qingxuan dashed off towards his room.
For him, coming and going from the Zhu family was incredibly easy.
Chu Chen returned to his room and began preparing the things he would need for the evening.
Night clothes and gasoline.
The gasoline was used to cover up the truth, mainly to prevent Chen Qingxuan from becoming suspicious.
I was just symbolically setting a fire, and I did things in a somewhat authentic way.
Sometimes, doing something too perfectly can raise suspicion.
