When Chen Dong followed the servant sent by Qi Jie to fetch him into a room on the second floor of Zuihua Building, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the servant who led him there in confusion: "This is the wrong place.
Bar!"
There was a banquet table in the room, but sitting on the table was a young girl. Behind the girl, several entourages with gloomy faces stood there. The female relatives of which family were dining here? Let's see.
This is not the place where Qi Jie entertained him.
"Mr. Chen?" Just when he was about to turn around and leave, the girl spoke, "Mr. Chen Dong from the Cleaning Department, Mr. Chen?"
Hearing the footsteps walking to the door, Chen Dong turned around hesitantly: "Miss, do you know me?"
"It's you, that's right!" The girl's expression was a little dull, and her face even became a little ethereal behind the steaming heat of the dishes: "Of course I know you, but Mr. Chen doesn't know me!"
"Oh, it turns out that you are also Mr. Qi's guest!" Chen Dong refused to leave. It seems that the boy named Qi is really stingy and even invites people to drink together.
"Where is Mr. Qi? As the host, all the guests are here. Why don't you see his people? This is too rude!" Chen Dong sat over and looked around, only to find that even the Qi family member who led him here
Everyone disappeared, and I suddenly felt a little angry. I thought it was just a banquet for me, and I just shared the same table with others. I didn't even show my face. Are you looking down on me?
"Master Qi is not coming!" The girl raised her head and looked directly at Chen Dong: "There are many delicious foods here. Don't you like to eat them, Mr. Chen?"
Huh! Chen Dong snorted, stood up and was about to leave. He was teasing himself like this. Don't even think about this kid surnamed Qi being in his own hands. I'm already old, and I can't be with this little girl.
After dinner, I wonder what will happen if word spreads! Eh! Wait, could it be that the boy from the Qi family called this girl to serve me specially? He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the girl, hmm, she is quite tall.
He is very lively and pleasant, but he looks a little dull.
After this hesitation, the person behind the girl had already walked over and blocked the door. The lust he had just aroused immediately shrank back. This posture did not mean that he was here to serve him. He was thinking too much.
"Get out of the way, I want to go out!" After several months of being in charge, Chen Dongguan still has a bit of authority. With a stern look on his face, ordinary people would have already been in a hurry to get out of the way.
Unfortunately, the two people blocking the door just gave him a cold look without moving at all. Their eyes were like looking at a kitten or puppy barking at them.
"What are you doing? You know my identity, but you are so presumptuous. Believe it or not, I just need to shout, and the people from the Military and Horse Department outside will come in. When the time comes, they will ask for it and bring it to the Yamen. A beating will be inevitable!"
"Don't worry, sir! People from the Military and Horse Department will never come to claim us. If you don't believe it, you might as well shout loudly!" The man blocking the door said coldly, then he looked at Chen Dong from above.
The look in his eyes made Chen Dong feel a little chilly for no reason.
"How can there be no king's law under the emperor's feet!" Chen Dong didn't believe this and opened his mouth to scream. However, before he could scream, the man who just spoke said a word without expression and prepared him for it.
The words that came out of his mouth were blocked.
"Under the emperor's feet, we are the king's law!"
Chen Dong came back. He was choked by these words. There were not many people in the capital who dared to speak like this.
He sat in front of the girl again, and he could see that the girl should be the one who made the decision here. He was really confused because he didn't talk to the master and talked to a few servants.
"Who are you? Do you know that detaining a court official is a serious crime!" Even he himself felt that these words were not as tough as he just said.
"This is not detention. It's just that Mr. Chen is impatient and wants to leave before I finish listening to what I say. I'm afraid Mr. Chen has not seen a real detention. Otherwise, the appearance of the brothers at the door should be a little...
Looks familiar!”
Mu Siniang has been putting up with it for a long time. There are so many delicious things in front of her and she cannot eat them as much as she wants. It is really a great torture for her. This Chen Dong is still chattering. She really wants to eat it.
Just knock him out with a knife and then have a good meal.
Well, you can't eat in front of these Jin Yiwei, it would look a bit unsightly, but if you knock this person unconscious and then ask them to go out and wait, they probably won't object!
How did Chen Dong know that this girl who looked straight at him had so many thoughts going through her mind in an instant? After hearing the faintly threatening tone, he quickly thought about it in his mind.
After going over what he had done recently and confirming that he had indeed not offended anyone recently, he felt a little relieved. He had completely forgotten that Qi Jie, who invited him here today, happened to be the person he had offended the most.
,Perhaps, from the beginning, he did not expect Qi Jie to go after him.
"Is there any misunderstanding in this?" Chen Dong pondered for a moment. As an official in the capital, he naturally has this tact. The other party knows his details and is not afraid of his intimidation, so he naturally has a certain degree of confidence.
"I am here at the invitation of Mr. Qi, and I am sure the same goes for Miss Qi. Since Mr. Qi is not here, the wine is no longer interesting. Miss, don't you think so?"
"He didn't invite you here, I invited you here!" Mu Siniang said, but when she spoke, she looked straight at the roast chicken in the middle of the table, not even looking at Chen Dong from the corner of her eyes.
, this situation is really weird.
"Master Chen, there's no need to guess!" The cold man standing at the door lifted up his hem, revealing the waistband hanging around his waist, and said sullenly: "We are from the Zhenfu Division.
Your Excellency wants to have a few drinks with Mr. Chen, does Mr. Chen think we are not worthy?"
The color on Chen Dong's face suddenly turned pale. He was so powerful that even though Jin Yiwei's reputation was not as bad as it used to be in the past two years, an official was forcibly restrained in a room by Jin Yiwei's people, especially this one.
When the official rank is not too high and the background is not too strong, it would be strange if he was not afraid.
"You're kidding, you're kidding!" He picked up the wine glass, laughed twice, and said to Mu Siniang: "Having a drink with your Excellency is something I only wish for, so I respect you by doing it first!"
Mu Siniang looked at him, but didn't touch the wine glass in front of her. She didn't like drinking.
Just this expressionless glance made Chen Dong's heart skip a beat. This was because he was holding a grudge because he didn't give face to him. Why did this matter happen like this?
"Your Excellency, Xiaguan's advisor is the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhang Shilang, and the other adults from the Zhenfu Division often move around. Speaking of which, we are not outsiders. If you want to ask Xiaguan something, just say hello."
Okay, no need to go to such trouble...that Mr. Qi's!"
Until now, Chen Dong didn't think that the other party was coming for him. After a round of thinking in his mind, he concluded that this must be an official from the Ministry of War who was targeted by the Zhenfu Division and was looking for information from him.
Don't blame him for belittling himself. If the Zhenfu Division really wants to deal with him, they can just send two guards in golden clothes to sneak him over. There is really no need to go to such trouble.
