Chen Jin didn't know how he walked out of the Prefecture Overseer Mansion and left in a daze.
"Master, master, are you alright?" Outside the Prefecture Overseer Mansion, a carriage had been waiting. This carriage came from Chen Jin's own mansion.
A person who looked like a housekeeper saw Chen Jin coming out of the mansion and hurried to greet him.
"Uncle Fu?" Chen Jin saw this person. Wasn't he the housekeeper of Chen Jin's mansion, Uncle Fu?
This person had been in the mansion for a long time and even watched Chen Jin grow up.
"Why are you here?" Chen Jin looked at the person and asked.
"This little one saw that master was called away by the Left General in the middle of the night and you haven't returned to the mansion for a long time, so I came to wait for you!" Uncle Fu said to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin looked at the weather. It was almost winter and the night was very cold, so Uncle Fu's hair was covered in frost. When the wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Jin couldn't help but soften his heart. He thought about how this old housekeeper had been in his mansion for many years and was really like an elder, worrying about his child outside.
"Uncle Fu, it's fine. It's cold outside. Quickly get into the carriage!" Chen Jin said to Uncle Fu.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Master, this old man is dirty. I can't enter the carriage!" Uncle Fu didn't want to enter the carriage because he was afraid that the dew on his body would dirty the carriage.
"If I say go in, then go in!" Chen Jin pushed Uncle Fu in annoyance.
The two of them sat in the carriage.
"Return to the mansion!"
In the carriage, Chen Jin's expression was still not good. His brows were tightly knitted.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Then Uncle Fu said, "Master, did the Left General make things difficult for you?"
"He can't be called the Left General anymore. He is now the Prefecture Overseer!" Chen Jin subconsciously replied. Then he realized that he was talking to Uncle Fu, a servant, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Prefecture Overseer?" Uncle Fu was shocked. "Master, although this old man doesn't understand great principles, I've been through many ups and downs and have seen many things. If you have any troubles, you can tell this old man. That storyteller said that we should gather the wisdom of the masses. This is probably what it means!" Uncle Fu looked at Chen Jin cautiously.
"You?" Chen Jin frowned and expressed his doubts, but then he shook his head. Forget it, there was no harm in telling Uncle Fu. He would always feel resentful if he kept it to himself.
It wasn't that Liu Bei didn't treat him well. On the contrary, Liu Bei praised him without restraint.
Chen Jin had helped Liu Bei to eradicate the remnants of the Huang Family in the conference hall just now. He had made those fence-sitters switch sides at once. Liu Bei couldn't refuse this credit.
What made Chen Jin so absent-minded was that before he left, a general called Liao Hua, whom Liu Bei had brought from Yuzhou, had mysteriously taken him to a place and told him a few words.
One of them was that a mountain could not accommodate two tigers. Another was that no matter how small a wolf was, it was still a wild beast.
This caused Chen Jin to fall into deep thought.
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain?" Uncle Fu repeated.
"Could it be!" Uncle Fu suddenly said.
"Could it be what?" Chen Jin asked doubtfully.
"No, no, this is just this old man's guess. Don't take it seriously!" Uncle Fu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.
"Hmm?" If Uncle Fu hadn't said so, Chen Jin might not have taken it seriously. Although he had a crush on Uncle Fu today, Uncle Fu was just a servant in the end.
Chen Jin was the head of the Chen family. No matter how small the Chen family was, it was still a noble family. Uncle Fu was just a servant.
However, looking at Uncle Fu's expression of wanting to say something but not daring to, Chen Jin's curiosity was aroused.
Curiosity could kill.
"Uncle Fu, say it!" Chen Jin ordered Uncle Fu over there.
"Master, this is really not good!" Uncle Fu was still unwilling to say.
"Say it!" Chen Jin's expression turned cold. In the meeting hall just now, Chen Jin had gone crazy and lost his calm because Liu Bei was there. Liu Bei's aura was much stronger than Chen Jin's. However, it was different here. Chen Jin was the master, the head of the family. Uncle Fu was just a servant.
"Okay, okay!" Uncle Fu could only helplessly say, "Master, now that the Left General has become the Prefecture Overseer, he naturally doesn't want there to be a second Prefecture Overseer in Jing Province! This will threaten him! "
"A second Prefecture Overseer? You mean Young Master Liu Zong? "Chen Jin asked doubtfully." But Young Master Liu Zong is still young! "Liu Zong was just a child now. How could he threaten Liu Bei?
"Master, if he can't threaten him now, what about in the future?" Uncle Fu said with a smile.
"In the future!" Chen Jin seemed to have thought of something.
"The young master will grow up sooner or later. When that time comes, Lord Liu Bei will also be old! This is Jing Province, there are still a lot of nostalgic people. Moreover, Master should know about the young master's uncle! " Uncle Fu said to Chen Jin.
Young Master Liu Zong's uncle was Cai Mao. The Cai Family and the Lao Family were one. If the Cai Family and the Lao Family really joined forces, then Liu Bei might not be their opponent.
Therefore, Chen Jin's eyes lit up. What did Liao Hua mean? Kill the young master!
Chen Jin's heart was shocked and afraid.
He was shocked because if Uncle Fu's guess was right, then this was really a big conspiracy. He was afraid that if he really listened to Liao Hua's words, he would kill the young master Liu Zong.
Chen Jin couldn't help but shiver. That was the former Prefecture Overseer, Cai Mao's nephew.
If he killed him, then he would offend two forces.
Chen Jin was really scared. He looked at Uncle Fu and gritted his teeth, "You can't say this to anyone else!"
"Yes!" Uncle Fu nodded.
Chen Jin now regretted it. He should have left that place. After being praised by Liu Bei, he should have left immediately. He should not have been stopped by Liao Hua when he walked slowly.
"Master, you have no way out now!" Uncle Fu said to Chen Jin.
"What do you mean?" Chen Jin narrowed his eyes and asked Uncle Fu.
"Master, since Liao Hua said so much to you, how could it be his idea alone?" Uncle Fu continued to say to Chen Jin.
"It's not Liao Hua's idea alone?" Chen Jin was stunned. There was someone behind Liao Hua. Who could that person be?
There was no need to think. It was Liu Bei, the new Lord of Jing Province.
Now Chen Jin really sucked in a breath of cold air.
He remembered why the Lord had asked him to stay. All of this had been planned.
Liu Bei even praised him. If he didn't do it, Chen Jin didn't dare to think about the consequences.
He couldn't help but shiver.
However, Chen Jin's eyes also turned red. He was forced to do it. He used to protect Liu Biao with Huang She, but Liu Biao was killed by Huang She. As Liu Biao's personal guard, he should avenge Liu Biao and kill Huang She, or something else.
But he didn't. He was forced by Huang She to change his allegiance.
Later, he received Huang She's order to stay by Liu Bei's side. As Huang She's eyes, he did it. Logically speaking, Liu Bei betrayed Huang She, so he should also kill Liu Bei.
But he didn't do it because he was forced to.
In the end, he was forced everywhere.
But Chen Jin was also a ruthless person. Since you want me to do it, I will do it.
Chen Jin's eyes turned red. He roared in a low voice, "Return to the mansion!"
"Yes!" Chen Jin's eyes were red, but he didn't see the sneer on Uncle Fu's face.
Soon, Chen Jin returned to his own mansion.
In the mansion, Uncle Fu watched Chen Jin enter the room of one of his concubines. He was going to vent his pressure.
Uncle Fu ordered some people to take good care of Chen Jin and then left.
He got into a carriage and started to walk. He looked left and right, afraid that someone would follow him.
The sky soon brightened. Uncle Fu's carriage went out of the city gate and stopped in the suburbs.
He got off the carriage and strolled into the dense forest.
In the dense forest, someone had been waiting for a long time.
"You're here?" This person seemed to know that Uncle Fu was back. He shouted at Uncle Fu.
"I'm Zhou Fu. Greetings, sir!" This Uncle Fu was called Zhou Fu.
"En!" The sir nodded. "How's it going?"
"Sir, please rest assured. Everything is ready!" Zhou Fu replied.
"Oh, is that so?"
"I watched Chen Jin grow up. I know his every move. He killed a member of the Huang family, so the Huang family can't tolerate him anymore. Naturally, he can only join the big-eared Liu Bei's camp. In order to gain Liu Bei's trust, he will do his best. With Liao Hua's instigation, he will succeed!" This Zhou Fu knew Chen Jin's habits. Generally speaking, once Chen Jin went back, he would find his concubine. Chen Jin had made up his mind, but he was still afraid, so he wanted to find his concubine to vent his anger.
"En!" The sir nodded. "Well done. But remember, don't call him big-eared Liu, so as not to cause trouble!" The sir said.
"Yes!" Uncle Fu nodded quickly. "Sir, do you know my family?" Zhou Fu asked carefully.
"Your family is very good. Don't worry. After this matter is done, you can take a boat from Xiangyang to Nanyang. There will be someone to meet you and reunite with your family. Also, there will be a Zhou Family in the Central Plains!" The sir said.
When he heard the words' Landowning Family ', Zhou Fu was immediately overjoyed.
Why did he betray his master? Wasn't it because of these two words?
Landowning Family! For people in this era, a landowning family was like heaven and earth. A master and a servant. Zhou Fu had been a servant for so many years. It was time for him to be a master.
"Quickly go back to avoid arousing suspicion!"
"Yes!" Zhou Fu quickly left.
"He's gone!" A voice rang out beside the sir.
"Sir!" The person whom Zhou Fu was riding on became respectful towards the voice.
A figure walked out. If one looked carefully, one would see that it was Kuai Liang.
"Sir, why do you have to take the risk yourself? We, the Qingshan Sect, are enough! "The man in black said to Kuai Liang.
"Hehe, this matter is of great importance. If it doesn't succeed, how can I be at ease?"
That's right. This whole scheme was planned by Kuai Liang. Not only Kuai Liang, but also Xu Shu, Lu Su, and even Zhuge Liang and Tian Feng.
It was for no other reason than to take the life of that child called Liu Zong.
This was not an order from Liu Mang. It was the decision of these people.
They even hid it from Liu Mang because they knew that if they told Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely stop them.
However, Liu Zong had to be killed.
"I'm sorry!" Kuai Liang sighed helplessly. He also knew that Liu Zong was innocent. However, who wasn't innocent in this chaotic world?
However, for the sake of peace and to reduce the number of killings, Liu Zong had to die.
Only with Liu Zong's death would Yangzhou be able to legitimately send out troops. Only with Liu Zong's death would Yangzhou be able to take Jingzhou. Only with Liu Zong's death would the Cai Family give up. It was also to make Liu Bei a target of scorn.
Using Uncle Fu was a coincidence. Chen Jin was also a coincidence. The only person who could get close to Liu Zong and not be investigated by Liu Bei was Chen Jin.
The other subordinates of Liu Bei would more or less think about it. Even if they wanted to make a move, they would not do it themselves.
Of course, Liao Hua was not one of them. Liao Hua also had people like Uncle Fu around him. They were the sparks that ignited Liao Hua and the other young generals' desire to make a name for themselves.
Liao Hua was not a fool. If he was not willing to do it himself, then he would encourage Chen Jin to do it. Even if there was no Chen Jin, there would be Wang Jin or Li Jin. No matter what, he had to put the blame on Liu Bei so that Liu Bei would not be able to find any evidence. This was the plan of these people in Yangzhou.
They could not let the Lord know, especially since that person had already given birth to an heir for the Lord. The Lord only had one heir. If they were found out, they might not have anything to do with it. However, they would definitely be hated. After all, they had killed the Lord's son.
After a night of venting, Chen Jin finally lay on the belly of his favorite concubine.
The concubine under his crotch had already rolled her eyes. This Chen Jin was like a mad dog. The concubine was only twenty years old, how could she bear it?
Chen Jin rested for another day. After washing up, he went out of the mansion. This time, he went in the direction of the Prefecture Overseer's mansion. In order to appease Chen Jin, Liu Bei also wanted to show others that as long as they listened to him, Liu Bei, even if they had wronged him in the past and were his enemies, he would let them go.
Chen Jin was an example. Not only did he let him go, he also wanted to promote him and make him rich.
Therefore, he gave Chen Jin the task of guarding Liu Zong. Now, Chen Jin was going to complete his "task".
