Chapter 734: Intrigue and Deception
Zong Yushang seemed to find his reaction interesting. She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her lips was charming and charming, charming her for life.
Xuanyuan Chen was even more frightened and thought to himself that Xie Jin would really fall into his hands, right? This young man really has a face that attracts everyone. If he is a beauty trap sent by the Zong family, then I have to say that he is born to be the best in this industry.
"Young Master Chen, are you stunned by Yu Chang's beauty?" Xie Jin raised his lips and reached out to lick Zong Yu Chang's hair from behind his ears, "The head of the Zong family is so sincere. I am very satisfied with Yi Yu Chang, and I am planning to thank you." Master of the clan, do you want to go with us?"
Xuanyuan Chen calmly thought about the meaning of Xie Jin's words. Was he asking him to go or not letting him go?
"Let's go together." Zong Yushang smiled tenderly, "Let's see the world."
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at him silently. The young man's brows and corners of his eyes were full of coquettishness. He looked like...as if he had been favored just last night.
Xuanyuan Chen's heart sank and he couldn't help but look at Xie Jin. Xie Jin nodded slowly: "It's good to go and have a look."
So the three of them tidied up a little and headed to Zong's house in a carriage.
The carriage is quite spacious, more than enough for three people.
It's just that the atmosphere is a bit awkward.
It is said that men and women should not be intimate, and men can do whatever is convenient for them to be with men, without being bound by any moral ethics at all. However, due to the sensitivity of the status, Xie Jin's special relationship choice, and the other two people in the car are both good-looking. , undoubtedly makes the atmosphere become subtle invisibly.
Xie Jin looked quite calm, and Zong Yushang was also very at ease, with her red lips always curved in a slight arc. Only Xuanyuan Chen felt that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet from beginning to end.
This subtle atmosphere lasted until the carriage arrived outside the gate of the Zong family.
The place where the Imperial Envoy lives is naturally being watched. Xie Jin and Zong Yushang got on the carriage and headed for the Zong family. There was no need to deliberately conceal their whereabouts. Therefore, the head of the Zong family and Yu Zhizhou were waiting at the gate with a crowded group of people. It is not unusual for people to be greeted respectfully.
Zong Yushang was the first to get off the carriage, and then stood outside the carriage waiting for Xie Jin. After Xie Jin came down, Xuanyuan Chen - although Xuanyuan Chen is a gentle and elegant type, not as charming as Zong Yushang, but because He is still young, with delicate and elegant features. He and Zong Yushang follow Xie Jin on the left and the other. It gives the impression that the young master of the Xie family is hugging him from one side to the other, and he is very blessed.
The old man at the head was already over seventy years old. He was thin but energetic. He was wearing a gray robe and had an impressive aura. There was a hidden sparkle in his eyes.
On his right stood four middle-aged men with more or less similar looks, standing in order of rank. On his left stood Lord Zhizhou in official uniform, as well as a group of Mianzhou officials brought by Zhizhou.
Everyone is dressed appropriately, with neat clothes and hats. At a glance, you can intuitively judge the person's identity from their clothes. Officials wear official robes, and businessmen wear solid-colored robes without decorations. They all look well-behaved. Well defended.
At this time, these people watched Xie Jin get out of the car and began to look at him involuntarily. Of course, the time for looking at him was very short.
Those who can appear in this formation to greet the Imperial Envoy are all human beings. At first glance, I saw that Mr. Xie was very imposing. At second glance, I saw faint marks on Zong Yushang’s neck. At third glance, I noticed the quiet and docile young man behind Xie Jin...
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy has come all the way, and I am sorry that I missed you so much. Please forgive me." Yu Zhizhou greeted him warmly, bowed and smiled flatteringly, "Today I will use the Zong family's house to welcome you, and prepare for it." I have to be in a hurry, please forgive me if I am negligent.”
Xie Jin carefully straightened his robes, slowly raised his eyes, scanned the people in front of him from left to right, and then frowned: "So many people?"
"Yes, there are so many people and it's so lively." Yu Zhizhou said with a smile, "The victims of the disaster have been in a difficult situation these past two days. The official residence of Xiaguan is used to house some people who are in poor health. They cannot withstand the wind and rain, so tents have begun to be set up. In order to In order to save lives, I have no choice but to temporarily place them in the official residence and have them carefully guarded. Therefore, I have no choice but to hold a banquet for you here at the Zong family residence today. I hope you will not blame me. "
Xie Jin smiled lightly and said, "I am very moved by your Excellency, who loves the people like a son and can be so considerate of the sufferings of the people. How can I blame you?"
Yu Zhizhou smiled so hard that his face wrinkled: "Your Excellency, I'm so complimentary. I feel ashamed to be a lower-ranking official."
"Imperial Envoy, please come in." The head of the clan gestured sideways, smiled and bowed while hiding the glare in his eyes, his attitude was as kind as a kind old man, "Master Yu has indeed tried his best. He has worked hard for the people these two days, and he has not been able to eat well. I can't sleep, but the grassroots and others can't do anything to help, so they can only try their best to raise food in order to overcome the current difficulties as soon as possible. "
Xie Jin walked in swaggeringly and sighed after hearing this: "Who says it's not the case? It is the people who suffer from natural and man-made disasters. I feel sad when I see the people's homes being destroyed. It's hard for Lord Zhizhou to worry about the people these past two days. , everything I have done for the people, I will definitely report it to Her Majesty the Queen after I return, and leave a note to Master Zhizhou. Well, even if Master Zhizhou is a good parent official who is rare to see in a hundred years, Mianzhou has Master Zhizhou here, and it is for the people. What a blessing!”
Yu Zhizhou was so happy in his heart, but he was more humble in his words, saying he dared not to do it: "Your Excellency, please do not do it. I am ashamed. The Burma River burst its banks because I did not do a good job of protection. I should die to apologize, otherwise I will not be able to face the hundreds of thousands of people in Mianzhou."
Xuanyuan Chen and Zong Yushang followed Xie Jin on the left and right, quietly listening to him and the prefect, praising each other in the officialdom. The more they listened, the more hypocritical they became, and they got goose bumps all over their bodies.
However, Xuanyuan Chen knew clearly in his heart that Xie Jin was just like that. Don't look at him smiling now when he listens to your praise, and even considerately comforts you a few words in return, making people think he is so gentle and harmless, but when he kills you, he will definitely smile more brilliantly than this.
In the officialdom, there is no place for people who are scheming and deceitful. Only people like Xie Jin, who are good at dealing with people, can lie with open eyes at any time, and can stab you in the heart before the smile fades... Such people can play like a fish in water in the officialdom.
Xuanyuan Chen knew that he still had a lot to learn. Being an open-minded gentleman is the character that men should have, but he cannot be called a gentleman when he becomes an official, because a gentleman cannot fight a villain.
Among these people in front of him, which one is not an old fox with deep scheming? If someone like Xuanyuan Chen really had to deal with them, I'm afraid ten lives would not be enough to die.
