Chapter 46 - I Have a Kind Heart
Once again, the Eagle Eye Division fell into silence!
There was no fierce conflict that the crowd was expecting at the beginning, just a battle of words!
This new director, like a great scholar, fought with his tongue, leaving everyone speechless, especially Cui Hu and Lu Shen, who took the lead in stirring up trouble.
This new director is so powerful with his tongue!
This was everyone’s heartfelt voice.
And at that moment, the future infamous King of Darkness Lu Shen’s face had already gathered all his expressions and no emotions could be seen.
He looked at Xia Chen and said slowly in an almost indifferent, emotionless tone.
I have checked you, although you are young, but you are extremely sophisticated, like a mature and highly skilled hunter, like to plan and then move, whether it is from the time you first took office as Commander of the Imperial Guard, or went to capture the Inspection and Supervision Court’s undercover agents are all like this.
From you out of the house since, in front of the public has struck twice, but each time has not shown bad strength, the world all say you are waste, but I see you are the one who is hidden very deep.
Therefore, not only will I not be able to kill you with my strike, but I will personally hand over the charge to you for nothing!’
Lu Shen’s words rang in everyone’s ears, causing some Lamplighters to be surprised; they all thought that the reason why Lu Shen didn’t make a move just now was because he couldn’t afford to take the risk of beheading Xia Chen.
As it turned out, they hadn’t expected the reason to be that he didn’t have the confidence to decapitate Xia Chen with a single slash.
Was this famous capital wastrel really that powerful?
Lu Shen was a famous teenage genius amongst their Lamplighters!
He could have fought with any Six-Rank Martial Artist!
Haha, since you’ve studied me and still want to fight me, that’s not what a smart person would do!
Xia Chen laughed and then spoke.
Lu Shen was silent, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
‘Both so, say it, are to end this situation how, you hundreds of people surrounded here, are my Eagle Eye Division elite core, do not know also thought you want to rebel to surround me!
Xia Chen careless opening, let a lot of people look changed, this opening is the big hat of rebellion buckle down, who can top ah.
The secretary is joking, we are gathered here, of course, we learned that the secretary is coming to take office today, so we came to greet the secretary!
A middle-aged man in his forties, full of smiles, squeezed out of the crowd, then ran with small steps to Xia Qian’s vicinity, bowing his head and saluting respectfully.
The corners of Xia Qian’s mouth twitched, this old guy’s cheeks were too thick, if he hadn’t heard their earlier fanfare and clamour to unite and fight against his Young Master, he would almost have really believed it.
And the rest of the Lamplighters are a light in the eyes, worthy of old Zheng, Zheng Hall Master can be in the Eagle Eye Division as a Hall Master for more than 20 years is not without reason.
Speaking is simply beautiful!
So you are all here to welcome me, then I am deeply honoured!
Xia Chen glanced at this middle-aged man with a goatee and a pleasant smile on his face, and his information floated through his mind.
Zheng Ping, one of the five Hall Masters of the Eagle Eye Division, has been sitting in the position of Hall Master for more than 20 years, sitting in that position for 20 years is both a blessing and a misfortune .
Zheng Ping was a very senior member of the Lamplighters who had been extremely outstanding when he was young, and was of the same generation as the former Commander-in-Chief Lu Li.
Rumour has it that the two have been competing since they were young, from the Lamplighters’ Small Banner to the Thousand Households Officer to the final Thousand Households Officer, the two have always been secretly competing, but in the end, Lu Li has risen to the top and become famous throughout the Dawu Dynasty.
And Zheng Ping, more than 20 years has been in the position of head of the hall did not move the position ……
Some people say that Zheng Ping insulted Lu Li back then, so for more than 20 years, some juniors have climbed up to his head, and he is still only a Hall Master position.
But some people say that the two are gentlemen’s quarrel, these 20 years, Zheng Ping has been in the hall master position as stable as Mount Taishan, is the proof ……
……
This information surfaced in Xia Chen’s mind, then he withdrew his thoughts.
All of you, I take it as a welcome, but those two, I have clearly heard that they are willing to take the lead in stirring up trouble!
Xia Chen looked around, then his eyes finally fell on Cui Hu and Lu Shen.
‘Some misunderstanding, what are you two still waiting for? We still haven’t seen the head of the department, sir! ‘
Zheng Ping glanced at Cui Hu, then walked over to Lu Shen and gave him a kick on the backside.
Cui Hu’s eyes shifted, knowing that the momentum was gone, but not before Lu Shen’s voice rang out.
‘Greetings to the head of the department!
Cui Hu had a flash of insight, knowing that he was one step behind, and hurriedly opened his mouth as well.
‘Greetings to the Head of Department!
The two men bowed respectfully!
Xia Qian saw this scene, revealing a smile, knowing that his own lord had already gained a firm foothold among the Lamplighters.
‘Young Master is really powerful, just by virtue of a mouth, he said that everyone dared not confront, more powerful than a fist!’
Summer thought happily in her heart and looked at Xia Chen with even more admiration.
Since you all know me as the director, it’s good to talk, although I’m a soft-hearted and good talker, but I’m also a person who speaks the rules!
There are some things that are not so good to count, today I will not go after those other people, but you two have no respect for inferiority or superiority, trying to incite subordinates to commit crimes against their superiors, this matter cannot be settled so easily!
Xia Chen’s tone was calm, but to the others, it felt like thunder had fallen from the world, and the terrifying Heavenly Authority had fallen!
”Your Excellency, this is all a misunderstanding, today you have just taken office, my side has already prepared the wine and food, why don’t we go together, we won’t get drunk! ‘
Zheng Ping also blushed and rushed forward.
You don’t need to say any more! You have to be punished for doing something wrong, you know that?
Xia Chen looked at Zheng Ping, Zheng Ping was immediately struck by lightning, what a pair of eyes!
Emotionless, just like the Heavenly Dao, the rules and order spread out, deep and dark, but also as if it contained everything, Zheng Ping could not use words to describe it.
His entire body froze, the first time he felt this kind of aura on a person, it was too terrifying!
Xia Chen’s eyes turned cold, and he pointed his hands at Cui hu Lu Shen and the dozen or so people behind them, his tone calm but with a touch of dominance.
”All of you, each of you will be given 50 army sticks, and then you will be dispersed and inserted into the other halls, and from today onwards, the five major halls of the Hundred Households Thousand Households Officer will be rotated, do you have any objections!’
Xia Chen said this, everyone’s face changed, especially Cui Hu and Lu Shen, if it’s only a punishment of 50 sticks, they are loud and clear tough guys, bite the bullet and get through it.
But the worst thing is the rotation!
A rotation takes away their entire power structure and disrupts it.
The power they have cultivated in the Lamplighters over the years can be said to have been broken up in one go.
My Lord, isn’t the rotation a bit hasty, I’m afraid it might cause some unrest!
Even Zheng Ping couldn’t help but speak up again.
“Hall Master Zheng, I told you that I have a kind heart and the virtue of a good life, don’t you understand? I will save you all! You’re a smart person, you won’t be able to guess what His Majesty is trying to do by transferring me into the Lamplighters!
You’re all in a clique, you’re all in it together. Do the Lamplighters take your name or His Majesty’s? How did Lu Li fall? Was it really because I cracked the military defence map case?
Zheng Hall Master will not want to not understand! ‘
Xia Chen said and patted Zheng Ping’s shoulder, revealing a smile.
I saved you with good intentions, you are not grateful to me, but you still don’t understand my hard work, it’s too disappointing for me!
If you don’t want to rotate, that’s fine, the rotation thing, today, as if I didn’t say, I’m not going to force you, you want to do what you want, listen to you, as you wish, I have no opinion!
But what will happen later? I cannot guarantee that I have a good heart, I hope that when it comes to it, it will not be my hands that manipulate the knife.
If it really comes to that, remembering the feelings of a large group of you gathered here today to welcome me, I should be merciful!
Xia Chen laughed, while Zheng Ping’s cold sweat had already broken out, his body unable to control a few tremors, his face pale.
