Chen Jinjun knew what the old eunuch was thinking in his mind: "The Queen Mother of the West ordered Qinghonghui to ask for advice back then. You don't know that, otherwise, you wouldn't be in this gang that is related to Qinghonghui."
"The Green and Red Society? It's just a cover. It's a gang that has been disbanded a long time ago. It was so shabby in the early years. Didn't it also fall on the imperial power? It's a pity that the Chen family of the imperial merchants ended up with a glass of poisonous wine for a moment of loyalty.
.”
Chen Jinjun of the Imperial Merchant Chen Family heard these four words clearly.
Her eyes flickered unconsciously and she clenched her fists.
Xu Fanming also glanced at Chen Jinjun.
The old eunuch saw the little moves between the two people and looked at Chen Jinjun with interest.
"What is your relationship with the Chen family?"
Chen Jinjun shook his head: "I just met the young master of the Chen family once."
She was betting that the old eunuch didn't know about her dressing up as a woman.
The old eunuch looked at Chen Jinjun and nodded clearly.
Chen Jinjun was secretly happy. As expected, it seemed that the old eunuch didn't know the secret of hiding his gender.
Xu Fanming did not forget the reason why he came to see the old eunuch this time, and immediately asked the question he wanted to know most: "To be honest with you, I want to reorganize the Qinghong Society. Seeing that your gang has been using the name of Qinghong Society recently.
I was thinking about whether he was a former member of the Qinghong Society, so..."
The words were three points full, and Xu Fanming believed that the old eunuch would complete the last half of the sentence himself.
The old eunuch looked at Xu Fanming: "Reorganize the Qinghong Society? Do you want to drag the gang to the Qinghong Society?"
As expected of a veteran who has lived in the palace for so many years, he could immediately see the purpose of Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming's visit.
But he couldn't make the decision in this matter.
Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming both watched cautiously as the old eunuch paced back and forth in the room, causing wisps of smoke to escape from the incense burner.
After a long time, the old eunuch could only be heard sighing faintly.
"Qinghonghui, I didn't expect that after so many years, there is still a group of people so persistent." The old eunuch shook his head, as if he was unexpected, but also as if he was sighing from the bottom of his heart.
"It's just that the gangs are no longer the gangs they used to be." The old eunuch stretched out his hand, which was full of gold and jade, and fiddled with it back and forth on the incense burner.
"What you mean is that now the gangster gang has no say and you can't make the decision?" Chen Jinjun sharply pointed out the aspect that the old eunuch cared about most.
The old eunuch suddenly looked at Chen Jinjun, his narrowed eyes filled with threats.
Chen Jinjun looked at him openly, with no trace of fear in his clear eyes.
The old eunuch waved his hand helplessly: "A few days ago, a person came."
"He said that he used to be a member of the Qinghong Society, and he led the entire gang to do such unreasonable things and interfered with the court. Did he think that our family couldn't tell who was behind him?"
The old eunuch had a fierceness all over his body, and he showed no trace of the kindness he had just shown.
Chen Jinjun looked at the old eunuch: "Is that man named Zhang Gui?"
"Yes! It's called Zhang Gui!" The old eunuch said the name fiercely, as if there was some unknown deep hatred between the two.
"Then who is the person behind him?" Chen Jinjun knew it well, but she still wanted to know what the old eunuch thought of Shao Peichen.
But after all, the old eunuch had lived in the palace for so many years and had seen too many intrigues. He looked at Chen Jinjun meaningfully: "Young lady, you want to trick our family? You are still young."
After all, he didn't know what Chen Jinjun's position was, and the two of them came under the banner of the Qinghong Society. Although it was unlikely that they were with Zhang Gui, he did not rule out the possibility of being related to Shao Peichen.
Chen Jinjun saw what the old eunuch was thinking and knew his concerns, so he had to patiently explain to him: "You may not know something, Zhang Gui is a traitor to the Qinghong Society."
"Traitor?" The expression on the old eunuch's face was unpredictable.
Xu Fanming nodded quickly: "It was he who handed over the list of the Qinghonghui to the government."
Chen Jinjun looked at the old eunuch. She wondered, after so many years, was he considered a man of the world, or was he a eunuch who missed the Qing Dynasty?
But what Chen Jinjun didn't know was that in the eyes of a person like the old eunuch, everything she was thinking was clearly visible.
The old lady's surveillance line was wandering aimlessly, looking somewhere in the distance, and quietly talking about her past: "Back then, after my godfather was ordered to be killed by the emperor, I went to work for the emperor, although it was not as good as before.
It was beautiful, but at least it was not bullied by others. Later, after a defeat, a few fellow villagers and I escaped from the palace."
His eyes were distant, as if everything he had experienced before was still vivid in his mind.
"Before, all the palace people who wanted to escape were dragged back and killed with sticks. The reason why we dared to escape was because the palace was in chaos at that time. Later, in order not to be discovered, we came all the way to Yucheng
.”
"You can say that without my father-in-law Tu, there would be no Yucheng gang today."
Chen Jinjun looked at Eunuch Tu: "But now, the gang seems to be disobedient."
"Disobedient? If you don't obey, you will inevitably get beaten. Only by hurting yourself can you remember."
Eunuch Tu's eyes widened, and Chen Jinjun could vaguely see the shadow of the great eunuch of the past in him.
"But I don't think that the gangsters have now replaced the government. I'm afraid the next step will be more ambitious, especially the one behind Zhang Gui."
"How do we know that you and Shao Peichen are not in the same group?" Eunuch Tu has already guessed that Chen Jinjun and Shao Peichen are not in the same group, but they don't look like enemies.
Chen Jinjun looked helpless and had no choice but to report his family status.
After listening to Chen Jinjun's self-introduction, Eunuch Tu narrowed his eyes: "Chen family?"
Chen Jinjun looked at Eunuch Tu anxiously. In order to gain this man's trust, he directly revealed his identity.
"Huangshang, Chen family." Eunuch Tu repeated, smacking his lips at the meaning.
Suddenly, he stared at Chen Jinjun: "I never expected that the young man from the Chen family back then was actually you."
This wasn't really a secret. She still remembered that the whole capital was in an uproar at that time, but she didn't expect that there was so little information about Eunuch Tu who was far away in Jade City.
Eunuch Tu leaned down and looked at Chen Jinjun's features: "It does look like him."
Chen Jinjun looked at Eunuch Tu: "Now, can we talk about the reorganization and cooperation of the Qinghong Association?"
Eunuch Tu looked at Chen Jinjun: "Then I dare to ask, what is your identity?"
"We talk about business in business, and we talk about Jianghu in Jianghu. Now I am not an imperial businessman, and you are not a father-in-law. Naturally, we are talking about Jianghu affairs as Jianghu."
Seeing Chen Jinjun's serious look, Eunuch Tu smiled: "You are such a transparent person. Tell me, what do you need from our family?"
Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming and then at Eunuch Tu: "I need my father-in-law to bring the gang and join the Qinghong Society."
