When Cui Qianxue woke up from the coma, she opened her eyes blankly and saw that she was in a strange room. The room seemed simple and elegant, but the decoration was luxurious, and all the furnishings and accessories were of great value. Obviously
The owner of this room was born into a wealthy family.
At least, the identity of the owner of this room is no worse than that of her grandfather Cui Mian. Although Cui Mian has served as the elder of the pavilion for many years, the decorations and furnishings in Cui's mansion are far from the luxury here.
Then, Cui Qianxue began to think about where this was? Why did she appear here?
After a period of confusion, Cui Qianxue finally slowly recalled that she was walking home when several big men appeared behind her, and then she suddenly received a heavy blow on her neck, and then she passed out.
Before he fell into coma, he reluctantly turned his head and took a look. What came into his eyes were several ferocious faces.
Could it be that I was kidnapped by bad guys? And kidnapped here by bad guys again? And this strange room in front of me is the lair of bad guys?
Thinking of this, Cui Qianxue trembled violently. Under the fright, her originally dazed head suddenly became much clearer.
Thinking of the consequences of being kidnapped, Cui Qianxue's petite body shrank and trembled, her mouth slightly opened, and she instinctively wanted to call for help.
"Save...save..."
However, Cui Qianxue was just an inexperienced girl after all. Due to excessive nervousness and fear, her shouts were not only so low that they were almost inaudible, but she couldn't even shout out a complete word.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded next to Cui Qianxue.
"Miss Cui, you finally woke up. Are there any other discomforts in your body?"
This is Zhao Junchen’s voice!
Cui Qianxue was startled when she heard Zhao Junchen's voice, and turned around to look. Only then did she realize that Zhao Junchen had been standing at the head of the bed guarding her.
At this time, Zhao Junchen was looking at Cui Qianxue, his eyes full of concern.
Seeing the panic remaining in Cui Qianxue's expression, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile with relief, patted Cui Qianxue's head gently with his hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, you are safe now, you just need to rest in peace and rest."
That’s fine.”
The voice is gentle and reliable, with a certain calming power.
Looking at Zhao Junchen blankly, Cui Qianxue still couldn't figure out what happened to her.
However, Zhao Junchen's reliable and gentle voice, and his calm and concerned eyes, appeared without warning when she was most helpless and frightened, making the panic and fear in Cui Qianxue's heart gradually subside.
, but it seemed to have struck a chord in her heart.
For a moment, Cui Qianxue actually forgot that she had just been kidnapped, and all she could see was Zhao Junchen looking at her with a smile.
Then, facing Zhao Junchen, Cui Qianxue, who had gradually calmed down, became nervous and panicked again.
However, the tension this time was completely different from before. The heart was beating inexplicably, so clearly. A certain kind of throbbing gradually became stronger.
"I...why am I here?"
Out of girls' instinct, Cui Qianxue turned her head to prevent Zhao Junchen from seeing her unusual expression at this time, and asked with some stumbling.
When Zhao Junchen saw Cui Qianxue like this, he was slightly startled, but he didn't care. He thought Cui Qianxue was still worried about the attack on him, so his tone became softer and he explained to Cui Qianxue: "Speaking of which, that's right.
Coincidentally, your grandfather actually blocked the gate of Youfeng Pavilion because of your running away from home, but he also let me know about your running away from home. Thinking of the mixed crowd in the capital, I was a little worried about your safety, so I went around
I sent people to search for you, but I didn't expect that when my people found you, they saw that you had been kidnapped by some villains with evil intentions, so they rescued you and sent you to me to recuperate.
…”
At this time, although Zhao Junchen's tone was gentle and his expression was very concerned, what he said was not entirely true. At least, Zhao Junchen knew very well that it must be Chen Zhirong who sent people to kidnap Cui Qianxue, and only Chen Zhirong would have it.
Such a motive, but due to various considerations and the "secret agreements" reached with Chen Zhirong before, Zhao Junchen not only did not expose Chen Zhirong at this time, but also helped Chen Zhirong cover up the facts and sent people to eliminate all clues
.
However, although Zhao Junchen explained a lot, Cui Qianxue didn't listen much because of the inexplicable panic in her heart. She only knew that after she ran away from home, Zhao Junchen was concerned about her safety, sent people to find her, and then rescued her.
she.
As a result, Cui Qianxue's heart became more and more inexplicably throbbing, and she became more flustered and nervous. Facing Zhao Junchen, she, who had always been a sharp-tongued person, was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
Seeing Cui Qianxue like this, Zhao Junchen thought that Cui Qianxue was still in a state of panic and fear. He thought that he and Cui Qianxue only had a relationship three times. For Cui Qianxue, he was still in the "strange man" stage, and Cui Qianxue had just experienced it.
When being kidnapped, at this time, I really shouldn't say anything to Cui Qianxue. Instead, I should let Cui Qianxue be alone, or let another woman accompany her.
In fact, Zhao Junchen originally wanted to persuade Cui Qianxue and tell her about the consequences of running away from home, so that she would not be naive and impulsive in the future, but he thought that he was just an outsider to Cui Qianxue after all, and
Cui Qianxue was in a bad mental state at this time, so she gave up and just silently wished Cui Qianxue good luck in the future.
Therefore, while thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen said again: "Miss Cui, I still have some things to deal with. I will come to see you later. Don't worry, I have sent someone to notify your grandfather. I think it will be informed soon."
Someone will come to pick you up and you can go home soon."
With that said, Zhao Junchen ordered Chu Jiayi behind him: "Jiayi, you will take care of Miss Cui next."
Chu Jiayi, who had been silently staying behind Zhao Junchen, took a step forward after hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, lowered her head and agreed: "Yes. Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of Miss Cui."
However, because Zhao Junchen turned around to speak, he did not see the flash of loss and complexity on Cui Qianxue's face.
On the contrary, it was Chu Jiayi who noticed something unusual about Cui Qianxue at this time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, after Zhao Junchen left the room, his originally gentle and gentle expression suddenly became a bit stern and gloomy.
What happened today is indeed dangerous!
Fortunately, Cui Qianxue changed her mind temporarily and did not intend to go to Youfeng Pavilion to meet Zhao Junchen. Instead, she wandered around the market at will. Although it would make it impossible for all parties to find traces of her for a while, it would not be possible.
Although it caused a lot of panic, Chen Zhirong's first-mover advantage also disappeared because of this.
And Zhao Junchen's hindsight this time finally did not lead to any irreparable tragedy.
In fact, Zhao Junchen's current power cannot be underestimated, and this time he tried his best to search for Cui Qianxue's traces, and the power he mobilized was certainly extraordinary, including the Xichang Yamen!
Although Xichang has only been established for a short period of time, it is still a professional intelligence agency of the imperial court, and Cui Qianxue's traces were the first to be discovered by them.
However, the order they received was only to find and protect Cui Qianxue, so after discovering Cui Qianxue's traces, they did not reveal their identity or whereabouts. They just followed Cui Qianxue secretly and protected her secretly.
However, after Cui Qianxue was attacked and kidnapped, the Xichang gangsters who were originally hiding in secret had to show up and take action.
The shouts and curses Cui Qianxue heard before she fell into coma were also made by the Xichang fanzi.
The people in the West Factory were all carefully selected by Zhao Junchen from the Jinyi Guards and the Forbidden Army. Their strength was far beyond the ordinary gangsters. After they took action, all the gangsters who kidnapped Cui Qianxue were killed except for the leader.
He was captured, and Cui Qianxue was naturally rescued.
As for the gangsters who tried to kidnap Cui Qianxue, even if they did not need special interrogation, Zhao Junchen knew that these people were all sent by Chen Zhirong, so Zhao Junchen did not let the Xichang gangsters strictly interrogate them, but just tortured them
After being tortured, they were released!
The reason why these gangsters were tortured was because Zhao Junchen wanted to warn Chen Zhirong and ask her to restrain herself and not always do whatever it took to achieve her goals! And then let these gangsters go because Zhao Junchen had various considerations.
, I don’t want Chen Zhirong to get into trouble.
However, the stern and gloomy expression on Zhao Junchen's face at this time was not because of Chen Zhirong's actions - Zhao Junchen knew very well Chen Zhirong's motives for doing this. Zhao Junchen might do the same if he was in a different place.
So even though he didn’t agree with it, he understood it to a certain extent - what really made Zhao Junchen dissatisfied was those Xichang fans who had made great contributions!
Without him, after rescuing Cui Qianxue, they did not send Cui Qianxue to Cui Mian's house, although Cui Qianxue's house was not far away. Instead, because of the various rumors between Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue, they thought that there was a real relationship between Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue.
Some ulterior relationship, and out of a desire to take credit, actually sent Cui Qianxue to Zhao Junchen's house!
Regarding the various rumors between Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue, there was actually some room for redemption before, but now, after Cui Qianxue ran away from home, she finally appeared in Zhao Junchen's house. What does this situation mean?
——The current rumors are completely confirmed in the eyes of the world! And Qianxue's reputation and life are completely ruined! There is no longer any hope of recovery!
At this time, Cui Qianxue is still unaware of her future situation!
In fact, this situation may not be all bad for Zhao Junchen. After all, it will increase the possibility that Cui Mian will be forced to grit his teeth and betroth Cui Qianxue to Zhao Junchen. However, this situation is not caused by Zhao Junchen.
Junchen's own plans all stemmed from the self-righteousness of the Xichang fans, so Zhao Junchen was naturally annoyed!
What's more, although Cui Qianxue is naive and impulsive, Zhao Junchen still has a good impression of her. Zhao Junchen is not willing to hurt Cui Qianxue easily when there are other options!
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Junchen wants to reward those Xichang fans who saved Cui Qianxue! He wants to reward them heavily! But for their self-righteous private actions, he also needs to punish them! He needs to punish them heavily!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen had arrived at the main hall of the mansion.
However, the moment he entered the main hall, Zhao Junchen lost the severity and gloominess in his expression and put on a gentle smile!
At this time, in the main hall, those Xichang fans who had rescued Cui Qianxue were also waiting for Zhao Junchen's summons and reward.
They had long heard that the factory governor was not only powerful and wealthy, but he was also extremely generous to those who had merit!
Therefore, these fans of Xichang are also full of expectations!
"I've met the factory governor!"
Seeing Zhao Junchen's appearance, all the fans from the West Factory quickly saluted.
At this time, Zhao Junchen looked friendly and smiled. Everything was just as they imagined!
As Zhao Junchen walked to his seat, he raised his hand to support him and said with a smile: "Get up quickly. You have made great achievements today. I am here to thank you."
"Don't dare, don't dare!" all the Xichang fanboys replied in succession.
After Zhao Junchen sat down, the Xichang fans finally stood up. Zhao Junchen looked at them and saw that they were all strong and capable, and he couldn't help but show some regret in his eyes.
"Everyone, sit down. We are all our own people, and now you have made great achievements, so there is no need to be polite."
Seeing Zhao Junchen say this, all the people from the West Factory were polite and sat down. However, they did not dare to relax too much in front of Zhao Junchen. Although they sat down, they only had half of their buttocks slightly touching the chair.
"Tell me about it." The smile on Zhao Junchen's face grew wider and he asked, "How did you find Miss Cui?"
A leader of the Xichang Fanzi stood up and replied: "Back to the factory supervisor, after receiving the order, I did not attack blindly like the other groups and dispersed my efforts to search everywhere. Instead, I first inquired about Miss Cui.
Knowing that this girl Cui has always been innocent, romantic, and lively, he thought that after this girl Cui ran away from home, although she could not go to Youfeng Pavilion, she would not be willing to go home, but would probably take the opportunity to wander around.
For fun, we concentrated our efforts to search in Huiguan Street, Tianjing East and other places, because those places have always been the most famous for folk acrobatics. I think Miss Cui must have heard of it, but she must have never been there. This time it was very difficult.
I might take the opportunity to take a look at something rare. I never thought that the people in Beizhong would really guess it right. Although Miss Cui had changed her dress and bun, her natural beauty was still very conspicuous. The people in Beizhong quickly discovered her.
and had been secretly protecting her. During this period, he secretly helped her to get rid of several waves of gangsters. Then when he secretly escorted her home, he found that some gangsters wanted to kidnap her, so he rescued her.
.”
Zhao Junchen nodded repeatedly and praised: "Think carefully before taking action, and you have also understood Miss Cui's psychology and behavioral patterns. What a good idea! No wonder you were the first to find her."
Hearing Zhao Junchen's praise, all the Xichang fans were humbled, but their expressions were more and more looking forward to the next reward.
Zhao Junchen did not disappoint them. After laughing, he announced: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. This time you not only found Miss Cui, but also rescued her. I must reward you, and I must reward you heavily! Come on!"
People!"
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, a group of servants entered the main hall one after another, and each stopped in front of a Xichang fan. They all held a plate in their hands, and the plates were all covered with silver light.
At this time, every Xichang Fanzi had a hundred taels of silver in front of him!
Obviously, all this money is rewarded to them!
If you don't count the various secret incomes, one hundred taels of silver is enough for their salary for four to five years!
Therefore, every fan of Xichang couldn't help but be happy at this time!
Zhao Junchen also smiled and said: "These silvers are all rewarded to you, take them! In addition, each of you will be promoted to the first level and your merit will be recorded once!"
"Thank you, Mr. Factory Supervisor!" The fans in the West Factory quickly kowtowed and thanked them.
Zhao Junchen still had a smile on his face: "I just said, we are all our own people, there is no need to be so polite, just get up."
After all the fans stood up one after another and accepted the money, Zhao Junchen suddenly sighed again.
Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, the Xichang fans who had just made great achievements and received heavy rewards and wanted to continue their efforts were all stunned. The leader of the Xichang fans who had just answered quickly stood up.
He asked: "I wonder what troubles you have, Mr. Factory Superintendent? Do you need us to work for you? If we are of any use, please give us your instructions, Mr. Factory Superintendent. We will not hesitate to die!"
As the Xichang Fan finished his words, the other Fans stood up together. They all clasped their fists and swore: "I will work for you, the factory governor, until I die!"
Zhao Junchen sighed again and said: "There is no need to surrender even if I die, but you can really help me with some ideas on this matter."
Seeing that all the fans were listening, Zhao Junchen asked slowly: "It's like this. Some of my subordinates acted on their own without my orders. In the end, I got into trouble.
Please tell me, what should I do?"
These Xichang fans naturally did not expect that the person Zhao Junchen was talking about turned out to be themselves. At this time, they wanted to show their loyalty, so they all said: "It is not only against the rules to act in this way"
, I have brought trouble to you again. Naturally, I should be severely punished!"
Zhao Junchen looked hesitant and said: "But they have made great achievements before and are still loyal to me. This time they acted privately. They were all out of good intentions and they didn't have any bad intentions towards me, so I felt a little bit.
Hesitate!"
"Sir, I don't know anything else, but in our West Factory, the most important thing is to follow orders and prohibitions! Sir, you have so many people, and you are in charge of so many important things. You must not have no rules, otherwise how will you establish prestige in the future? But if you, Sir
If you are thinking about the old relationship in your heart, you can get a reduced crime, but the punishment must be punished, otherwise it will not be enough to deter others, and I hope you will learn from it!" said the leader of the Xichang Fanzi.
And other Xichang fans also agreed one after another.
"That's it, I understand." Zhao Junchen seemed to have finally made up his mind, then changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I am a little curious in my heart, and I don't know if my previous order was not clear enough.
Understand... I originally asked you to protect Cui Qianxue secretly, but after you rescued her, the Cui Mansion was clearly right in front of you, so why did you choose to go far away and send her to my home? "
Zhao Junchen was still smiling and had a curious look on his face, but upon questioning, all the Xichang fans trembled.
Now, they finally discovered that the "underlings who acted privately" that Zhao Junchen mentioned before were referring to them.
And the leader named Fanzi was so filled with regret at this time! It was he who just suggested that Zhao Junchen must be severely punished! Now if he could turn back time, he would definitely change his attitude and suggest that Zhao Junchen "be magnanimous, look."
For the sake of the loyalty of those subordinates, let them go!”
Unfortunately, regret medicine is the hardest thing to buy.
As a result, all the Xichang fans turned pale in an instant, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy in unison. They no longer looked as cheerful as before.
Zhao Junchen did not listen to their explanation, but shook his head and sighed: "You are all smart people, and I like smart people, but you are really smart this time! Let me guess, when you were asking about Cui Qianxue's personality,
I also found out about the rumors between Cui Qianxue and me, so after saving Cui Qianxue, I thought of taking the opportunity to please me further, so I sent Cui Qianxue to me, right? But have you ever thought about it, if these rumors are false?
Yes, wouldn’t your approach make these rumors intensify, and even turn out to be true? This will bring me all kinds of troubles, and how much energy will I need to spend to deal with them? "
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, all the fans became more and more panicked. They did not dare to find reasons to shirk responsibility, but they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Zhao Junchen ignored it and just sighed, continuing: "I am a person who has always made clear distinctions between rewards and punishments. Those who deserved rewards before have already been rewarded, and those who deserved punishment will be punished next! As you said, Xichang is most particular about one thing.
The orders are strictly enforced. You acted privately and caused a lot of trouble for me, so you have to be punished! But considering that you have performed meritorious services and are still loyal, your crime will be reduced..."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen asked: "By the way, I don't remember all the rules of the West Factory. What are the general penalties for doing things privately?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry and seeing Zhao Junchen looking at him with piercing eyes, the leader Fanzi did not dare not to answer and said in a trembling voice: "Go back to the factory supervisor and do things privately. Usually he will be demoted to the next level.
Thirty sticks, if this causes trouble again...then, he will be dismissed from office and imprisoned. Just, just..."
Zhao Junchen nodded, and did not let this Xichang fan finish his words, so he waved his hand and said: "In that case, you will each be demoted to the second class, and you will be given twenty sticks. It can be regarded as a ban on others, and it will be given to other people in Xichang."
Give me a warning! Now, go back to the Yamen to receive your punishment!"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's order and knowing that Zhao Junchen had been treated leniently this time, the gangsters did not dare to beg for mercy anymore. They just cried and went back to the Xichang Yamen to collect their punishments with their own silver rewards.
This time, they wanted to please Zhao Junchen, but they failed. Although they got some silver rewards, they were demoted and received military sticks. But these were all because of their cleverness, so they had no one to blame!
…
Looking at the departing figures of the Xichang fans, Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Junchen knew that although these Xichang fanatics had received some silver rewards this time, due to his method of carrot first and then stick, I am afraid they would never care about their own benefits in the future.
But under the current situation, Zhao Junchen had to do this.
Because Zhao Junchen knew that Xichang's power was too great. As his power in the court grew stronger in the future, Emperor Deqing would definitely take Xichang back from his hands to balance the expansion of his power.
Zhao Junchen has been secretly preparing for this, ordering Wei Huai to cultivate cronies in Xichang, so that even if Zhao Junchen hands over Xichang, he can still maintain a certain influence on Xichang.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Junchen needs to establish his prestige and needs to take this opportunity to scare the monkeys! Only with such a combination of kindness and power can some people in the West Factory truly be loyal to him!
In contrast, Zhao Junchen did not care about the resentment caused by some small people.
While he was thinking deeply, Zhao Junchen suddenly saw Xu Qingyan entering the main hall, his expression full of weirdness, and walking towards him.
Previously, Zhao Junchen sent Xu Qingyan to Cui Mian's mansion and asked him to inform Cui Mian about Cui Qianxue.
But now, Xu Qingyan looked so weird, as if he had encountered something in the Cui Mansion.
