The old man's heart did not skip a beat as he looked at the pair of gleaming eyes of the inner servant Gong. He said lightly, ”Aiya! This old man has been sick for the past few years and has not been able to walk around often in the imperial court. Who would have thought that it would actually attract the suspicion of others? I don't know whether to laugh or to cry!”

After Gong Jiu heard the old man's words, he didn't know where to start because the old man's answer was irrelevant. He completely brought the previous words over.

After that, he drank a mouthful of tea from the cup beside him. After drinking it, he rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and when the old man rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, Attendant Gong was stupefied as he stared at the old man's half-revealed left arm.

After the old man rolled up his left sleeve, he saw that his exposed left forearm was covered in densely packed black blisters. Some of the blisters were already festering, and some of the black water was gushing out.

The old man exposed his arm and laid it across his chest. Then, he used his right hand to touch the blisters on his left hand and said, ”Attendant Gong, did you see it clearly? This old man's body has already reached such a state. You said that there was someone who wanted to impeach me for using my power for personal gain, and wanted to rebel against me. I'm about to meet the King of Hell, how could I have that kind of thought? I can live for one day at a time! I hope that Attendant Gong can report this to His Majesty! ”

He did not want to see that scene ever again, so he waved his hand towards the old man and said, ”Master Chen, I think His Majesty believes in you, and that's why he's here to investigate the situation. From what I see, Master Chen's illness must be caused by the toil of the country, and we will definitely report back to His Majesty.”

After hearing the words of the servant Gong, the old man's heart was relieved and he quickly put down his sleeve. Then, he asked the servant, ”Attendant Gong, just now, you said that someone was impeaching this old man in the court. This really makes one feel cold. I hope that Attendant Gong can tell me the truth! ”

When the servant heard the old man's words, he was overjoyed in his heart. He was really waiting for the old man's words. Previously, when Wang Mang had sent him over, he had warned him to first strike the mountain and shake the tiger before revealing his intentions to Chen Chong!

When he used the ”Knocking the Mountain Trembling Tiger” from before, it did not have much effect. Instead, it made Chen Chong become a general. However, later on, Chen Chong also took the bait and came to find out the news from him!

When Chen Chong saw all of this, he cursed silently in his heart: ”You're still playing around with me? It seems like this brat won't let go even if he doesn't want to!”

Thinking to that, Chen Chong extended his hand into his pocket and took out a silver plate the size of a palm. He put the silver plate in front of the servant Gong and then said to him, ”Attendant Gong, this little meaning is not worthy of respect. I hope that you can accept it!”

After seeing the silver plate, Gong Jiu's eyes squinted into slits. He extended his hand and put the palm-sized silver plate into his pocket. After that, he walked next to Chen Chong and said some words to Chen Chong!

After speaking, the servant Gong clasped his hands at Chen Chong and said, ”Lord Chen, you still need to take care of yourself. You are a pillar of the imperial government, and His Majesty values you greatly.

Seeing that the servant Gong was preparing to leave, Chen Chong got up and sent the attendant out of the mansion. After the attendant's carriage disappeared from his sight, Chen Chong turned around and said to a servant, ”Bring the eldest young master to my study!”

After saying this, Chen Chong walked directly to his study room. Chen Chong sat in the study room for a while before his eldest son came over.
