"Sir, we have talked until this point. I still want to ask you about the questions in my mind." Zhao Gongming has been suspicious of Xiao Chen for a long time.
Just ask the prince how you transformed into what you are now.
The old slave's departure is unpredictable, and his life and death are uncertain. He may never come back, so if he doesn't ask this question in his mind, he may never have another chance.
"Old Boss Zhao, although we have been together less and more apart, my trust in you has never changed, and I have no intention of deliberately hiding anything from you... But this matter is extremely weird, and I can tell you,
But I can't explain it clearly to you." Xiao Chen was wondering how to word it and where to start.
"Sir, actually I'm not that curious, and I know a lot of things in the world that are unexplainable, but I just want to know whether you are my master or not!" Zhao Gongming stared into Xiao Chen's eyes,
"I'll venture to guess, is it you who stole the crown prince's house?"
Taoists believe that a person's body is actually just a shell for spiritual sustenance, so they call it equanimity, just like Buddhists regard the body as a stinky bag.
The so-called house seizure, as the name suggests, is to forcibly occupy someone else's house and live in it yourself. In other words, the body of the prince Xiao Chen actually hides the soul of another person. In layman's terms, it is 'resurrecting the soul through borrowing a corpse'
.
To be more specific, a person is actually dead, but is possessed by another soul and comes back to life, but this person's personality and memory have actually been completely transformed into another person.
"Old Boss Zhao, you only guessed half of it. In fact, that's not the case. If I was taken away from you, why would I still recognize you? Do you still remember the past?" Xiao Chen's words are correct, because he
Not only did he take away Zhu Yuanqi's body, but he also took away the prince's memory.
But if you think about it differently, how would you know that it wasn't Zhu Yuanqi who took away Xiao Chen's memory? So sometimes Xiao Chen would suddenly become confused and couldn't figure out whether he was Zhu Yuanqi or Xiao Chen?
This is also the reason why he has been reluctant to reveal his origins to everyone.
"Haha, this old slave is also an old fool!" Zhao Gongming slapped his head hard and said with a smile, "Prince, please don't take offense at this. It's all my own wild thoughts, old slave... You are
The prince is right!"
"Yes and no." Since Xiao Chen confessed to Zhao Gongming, he simply said it more clearly, "Because one day when I fainted, my soul left my body and suddenly went to a place far, far away.
I learned a lot of knowledge there, including poetry."
"A place far away?" Zhao Gongming was curious, "Where is that? Is it a fairyland in the sky?"
"No, it's a long, long time in the future." Xiao Chen said.
"Why are you so confused, old slave?" Zhao Gongming's head was instantly confused.
"I have always been confused." Xiao Chen sighed, "Now you know why I refuse to explain this strange thing to you, right? I really can't explain it!"
"Then there's no need to explain. I just need to know what I want to know." Zhao Gongming breathed a sigh of relief. Ninety-nine percent of the knot in his heart had been opened. This was enough.
If this is the case, then the old slave also has something in his heart that he wants to tell you honestly, "Master, this old slave deserves to die! When the old slave thought about this and couldn't sleep, he even had a very disrespectful thought, thinking
If you are not the master, I will just pretend to be confused..."
What Zhao Gongming meant was that if Xiao Chen was not Zhu Yuanqi, then he would admit it!
As an important official of the late emperor, it was obviously wrong to do this, and he couldn't even think about it! But he really thought about it, and he was even planning to do it...
This is extremely disrespectful!
The only reason that can support his idea is: regardless of whether the prince is a prince or not, the sons he will give birth to in the future will be the proper sons and grandsons of the dragon. They will still be the king of the Zhu family for generations to come, because of their bloodline.
Nothing has changed!
It's hard to say that.
"Sure enough, it's extremely disrespectful!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "It seems that I can't entrust you with a heavy responsibility, so just do these two small things for me. I will atone for my sins in the future, and I will forget the blame. On the cloud platform,
There’s still room for you to write your name!”
"Yes!" Zhao Gongming stood up and knelt down solemnly, as if it was your prince's personal promise.
This free talk made Zhao Gongming completely relieved or gave up. Just now, he looked old and decrepit, but when he left, he held his head high and looked like a tiger.
"Ah... this old eunuch." Xiao Chen was also very tired, mainly because he was tired. As soon as he lay on the bed, his head hit the pillow, and he fell into a deep sleep. He had a sweet sleep, and he didn't even have a dream.
No.
In a temple outside Shunfeng City, the bald third master and his brothers were sitting on the floor, drinking wine with a few plump beggar's chickens.
Let's discuss important matters by the way.
They were all gangsters from Haining Bay. They originally had a piece of land at Haining Bay Pier and were doing well.
But a few days ago, a group of extremely arrogant beggars suddenly came to him and said that they wanted to take over some of his affairs at the dock...are they just trying to compete with me for territory?
This is a death-defying rhythm! I can give it to you, Third Master, but my brothers and my fists refuse!
It’s okay if you want, just find a place, set a time, and let’s meet and ‘talk’.
In fact, it's just a fight, you die or I live. My third master has been hanging out at the dock for so long, why should I? It's just that the third master and I are so cruel!
I didn't expect that these beggars were so cruel, and all of them were extremely skilled. After a fight, they beat to death more than a dozen of the most capable brothers under the Third Master!
If the Third Master and the remaining few had not knelt down, kowtowed to beg for mercy, and were willing to give up their territory and leave Haining Bay with their tails between their legs, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes.
Why can't you afford to hide from me if you can't offend me? There is no place for me to stay, I have my own place to stay!
I heard that Shunfeng City is very prosperous now. The docks are huge and the number of cargo ships is no less than that of Haining Bay.
So I decided to come here to develop.
Unexpectedly, there are many opportunities to make a fortune here, and there are plenty of sites on the dock, but it is not easy to get around.
Because Uncle Qian Yunfei, who is in charge of the terminal management, is a ruthless man and has a zero-tolerance attitude towards ruffians like them.
If you dare to do anything and fall into his hands, it would be easy to break your hands and feet, but if not, you might be beheaded directly!
The beheading was real and not meant to scare people. There are still several dried human heads hanging on the pier!
It seems that I can only come to the city to hang out. Since I can’t extort landing fees from cargo ships and passengers at the dock, it’s okay to collect protection fees from a few brothels and restaurants, right?
These business people are afraid of trouble, so just use some rogue tactics to ensure that they pay you obediently!
I just went to check out the locations, and I feel that the situation is pretty good, and there should be room for development...
