The world of film and television starts from a young age

"Has Lord Hou heard about the hat demon case? Then I wonder what Master Hou thinks about this case? Is this hat demon really a monster?"

Gu Qianfan heard Zhou Chen talk about the hat demon case, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask for advice.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You already have a judgment in your mind, do you still need to ask me?"

Gu Qianfan said in a deep voice: "I don't believe in hat monsters or hat monsters. They're just a cover-up. I've fought against 'hat monsters' before, so I'm sure someone pretended to be a deliberate disguise. I guess someone must be trying to use it This hat monster is here to make wind and rain."

"Then Deputy Gu, who do you think is playing tricks?"

"I haven't found out yet."

The mystery of the hat monster's appearance was not in Tokyo at the beginning, but only recently appeared in Tokyo. Although he had fought against the hat monster before, he couldn't find out what was going on with the other party. He could only be sure that someone deliberately caused trouble.

"Master Hou, I came to see you today just to ask your opinion on the hat demon case. There is one more thing, that is, what did you mean by the sentence you told me last time?"

"Which sentence?"

Gu Qianfan looked around unconsciously, and then whispered: "It's about Qi Mu and Qi Zhongcheng, why did you tell me last time, let me be careful about Qi Mu, do you know something?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "It seems that you have noticed something recently, or you have found something. Qi Mu became suspicious, but he was not sure, so he came to me to ask about the situation, right?"

Gu Qianfan remained silent, Qi Mu's recent behavior really made him very suspicious.

As the mainstay of Qingliu's lineage, Qi Mu has already collected the criminal evidence of Lei Jing and others. As long as Qi Mu takes it out, he will surely bring down many people.

But Qi Mu always pushes back and forth, unwilling to do that, but wants to take advantage of Lei Jing, and some recent practices of Qi Mu also make him not approve, which is very different from the Qi Mu in his impression.

"Master Hou, just treat it as if I owe you a favor, please tell me."

Zhou Chen didn't speak, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly, with a serious expression and a pensive expression.

After a long while, he finally said: "Gu Fushi, you and I can say that we hit it off right away, and I also trust your character, and I know a lot about you, especially the relationship between you and Qi Mu. I happen to know something about the connection.”

Gu Qianfan was not surprised at this point, he had already guessed it after Zhou Chen said that last time.

"I don't know how much Deputy Gu trusts Qi Mu, but I do know a little about Qi Mu. We were in the same batch of Jinshi back then. You should know something about me, right?"

Gu Qianfan nodded. Zhou Chen passed the Jinshi examination back then, and also worshiped Ke Xianggong as his teacher, wanting to integrate into Qingliu's lineage.

But it was a pity that in the end Zhou Chen was rejected by many officials from Qingliu's lineage, and finally had to give up, choosing to join the army and go to the border.

Although the officials of Qingliu's lineage cannot represent the entire civil official group, back then, Qingliu's lineage was indeed powerful and had a huge momentum in the court.

Unlike now, the Queen's party is gradually rising, Ke Xianggong was demoted, Qingliu's lineage was hit hard, and their power in the court became weaker and weaker.

"The person who rejected me in Qingliu's lineage back then was Qi Mu, and he was even the mastermind. I was young at the time, and I felt resentment in my heart, but today, I have already figured it out. It's just that everyone's position and interests are different, which will lead to such a result."

"However, according to my research at the time, this Qi Mu has deep thoughts. He deliberately gets close to you, but in fact, he just wants to use you. He knows your ability and wants you to join the Imperial City Division and control the Imperial City. The power of the company is used by him, I think you have already noticed this point."

Gu Qianfan didn't answer, but his expression said it all.

"Did he want you to pull Lei Jing down before? But now he doesn't do that, instead he wants to prevent you from dealing with Lei Jing?"

"How did you know?"

Gu Qianfan was really puzzled, only he and Qi Mu knew about this matter, how did Zhou Chen know about it?
Zhou Chen chuckled lightly and said, "I'm a little narrow-minded. Back then, Qi Mu made a fool of me, but I remembered it in my heart, and I always wanted to find a chance to return it, so I paid more attention to his affairs. "

"Is there someone with you beside Qi Mu?" Gu Qianfan asked in surprise.

"maybe."

Zhou Chen didn't answer directly, but just used this ambiguous answer to let Gu Qianfan guess by himself.

Naturally, Qi Mu has no one around him, and he knows this, of course, relying on his ability of 'foresight'.

"Gu Fushi, you just need to know that I have no malice towards you. On the contrary, I really think you are a good friend. Our military family is not like those literati who have so many twists and turns in their hearts. I Saying that I treat you as a friend means really treating you as a friend."

Gu Qianfan's face moved slightly, he believed Zhou Chen's words, because compared to Qi Mu who was plotting against him, Zhou Chen had nothing to do with him at all, and he didn't have the value that Zhou Chen needed to use to woo him.

Qi Mu is a civil servant and needs the power of the Imperial City Secretary, but Zhou Chen is different. Zhou Chen was originally a noble marquis, and now he is one of the two commanders of the guards and pro-army. He has a high position and authority, so there is no need to rely on the Imperial City Secretary. strength.

And when they met, he was just the commander of the Imperial City Division, but Zhou Chen saved his life and helped him a lot.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Zhou Chen really has some plans, at least at this stage, he doesn't feel the slightest bit of malicious intentions.

After getting the answer he wanted to know, Gu Qianfan cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Master Hou, thank you very much."

"Don't be so polite, maybe I will need your help in the future."

Gu Qianfan replied solemnly: "In the future, as long as Lord Hou needs it, I will definitely do my best."

"Then I'll thank Deputy Envoy Gu first." Zhou Chen smiled slightly.

It is also a good thing for Zhou Chen to make Gu Qianfan give up on Qi Mu earlier.

It can be seen from the TV series that Qi Mu is a villain, not to mention that there is a bit of hatred between them. He hopes that Qi Mu will fall soon.

He has already started to set up the court hall, if no one comes down from the court hall, how can he have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

In fact, compared to Qi Mu's hypocrite, Xiao Qinyan's kind of real villain is easier to get along with.

It's just that Gu Qianfan's investigation of the hat monster case probably won't come to fruition in the end, because behind the hat monster case is not a single person, but a force or even a combination of several forces.

If he really wanted to check, Zhou Chen could find out a lot of things, but why did he bother?

The Queen's Party is already very powerful now, if those hostile forces are removed, wouldn't it make the Queen's Party even more powerful.

He knew that the current official family would die early next year. If the Houdang family was allowed to dominate in the court, it would be very detrimental to his future plans. Of course, he would not sit back and watch the Houdang family dominate.

As the saying goes, there are no enemies above the court, only interests, and if you want to do it, do what is beneficial to you.

"Ugh!"

Zhou Chen sighed heavily, if it wasn't for his own side mission, why would he have to calculate so much, being a free and easy Marquis is actually a good choice.

The big deal is to have a few more sons in the future, train them to be talented, and let him grow the Zhongyonghou Mansion. Wouldn't this be more comfortable than spending time and energy on yourself?
It's a pity, in order to complete the side mission, he can only work hard from now on.

Nainai, if he can't take back the Yanyun Sixteen States, he will have to turn the world upside down.

As soon as Zhou Chen returned home, he learned that his fourth uncle Meng Wei was visiting.

"puff!"

Zhou Chen spit out a mouthful of water, and looked at Meng Wei in disbelief: "Uncle, are you kidding me? Let me marry Gao Hui from the Gao family, what do you think?"

He never expected that Meng Wei came to him for a kiss, and what was even more unexpected was that the object of the kiss was Gao Hui, the daughter of Gao Observer.

Who is Gao Hui, how could he not know, the woman who almost married Ouyang Xu, let alone this matter, even if not, he would not agree.

"Xiaochen, I'm really thinking of you. The Gao family is quite powerful. If you can marry the Gao family, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."

Meng Wei persuaded him patiently: "As for Gao Hui's previous marriage contract, it doesn't matter. It was canceled not long after it was made, not to mention that Ouyang Xu is dead. Gao Guan said that as long as you are willing to make an appointment with his daughter Make a marriage contract, the Gao family and Concubine Xian will do their best to help you."

In their status, face is important, but more important is power. The strength of the Gao family should not be underestimated, so he came to persuade Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen glanced at Meng Wei indifferently. This uncle spoke nicely, but how could he not know what his plan was.

If he marries with the Gao family, not only will he get benefits, but the Meng family will also get benefits. Who would think that his power will expand.

Especially in this special period, the officials have serious health problems. This period is a time of turmoil, so naturally there are more things to care about.

"Uncle, stop talking, no matter what you say, I can't agree to this matter."

Zhou Chen refused without hesitation, not giving Meng Wei any room to persuade him.

"You child, why are you so stubborn?"

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind."

"You, alas, well, you are old enough to have your own ideas, you can handle them yourself."

Seeing Zhou Chen's resolute attitude, Meng Wei sighed and didn't persuade him any more. Although he was an uncle, Zhou Chen's current status and power were no worse than him, and he really couldn't be Zhou Chen's master.

This incident made Zhou Chen quite upset, so he quietly left the Hou Mansion and went to Anyefang.

Zhao Pan'er was lighting up the lamp to read at night, when she heard footsteps suddenly, she turned her head happily.

"You're here."

"Well, it's so late and you haven't slept yet, what book are you reading?"

Zhao Pan'er put down the book and smiled sweetly: "It's nothing, just can't sleep, just read around to pass the time."

Zhou Chen took advantage of the situation and sat down, and embraced Zhao Pan'er in his arms, and said affectionately: "I thought you couldn't sleep because you were thinking about me."

"Then I said you couldn't sleep because of what I thought."

"Yes, you are right. I just couldn't sleep because of you, so I came to see you."

"You're trying to trick me on purpose."

Zhao Pan'er was very depressed. Every time she faced Zhou Chen, she felt that she had become stupid. She couldn't say anything about Zhou Chen at all. This was something she had never met before.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Pan'er, this feeling is really good. I feel very at ease when I hold you. Let me tell you one thing. I have asked someone to help us get together. Do you know the result? ?”

Zhao Pan'er straightened her expression, and asked impatiently, "How is it?"

Zhou Chen scratched her nose and kissed her forehead lightly.

"A match made in heaven, a golden and jade match."

"real or fake?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be unhappy and said, "What? Do you think I will lie to you? Or do you think we are not a match made in heaven?"

Zhao Pan'er immediately shook her head: "Of course not, I just think it's a little unreal, Lord Hou, you, do you really want to marry me as your wife? Will you regret it in the future?"

Zhou Chen first smiled, and then answered solemnly.

"What I said will not change. You, Zhao Pan'er, are the wife I have identified, the eldest lady of the Hou family. As for whether you will regret it, my answer is no, and I firmly believe that neither will you, Pan'er." Make me regret it, right?"

Zhao Pan'er's eyes turned red, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I, Zhao Pan'er, swear that if I were the wife of Lord Hou, I would definitely not let Lord Hou regret choosing me."

"That's it. I have confidence in you, and you have to have confidence in yourself. When the time comes, our husband and wife will be in harmony, and the benefits will cut through the money."

"Ah."

Zhao Pan'er leaned against Zhou Chen's arms. At this moment, she was no longer afraid, but felt extremely at ease.

After a long time, Zhao Pan'er suddenly remembered something.

"Master Hou, when I met Zhang Haohao yesterday, she told me something. Recently, Yinzhang may have encountered trouble in the Jiaofang Division."

"The introduction is in trouble, what trouble?"

"Listen to Zhang, there is a writer named Shen Ruzhuo in Jiaofang Division who has been pestering Yinzhang. If she hadn't appeared suddenly last time, I don't know how Shen Ruzhuo would bully Yinzhang. Hou Ye, I didn't ask you anything. Things, things about Yinzhang, I hope you can help her."

Zhou Chen raised his brows: "Shen Ruzhuo? Okay, I see. I'll ask someone to investigate tomorrow. If he really pesters the introduction, I will deal with it."

Shen Ruzhuo had entangled Song Yinzhang in the plot, and later almost betrayed Song Yinzhang. Now that he changed the plot, he did not expect that Shen Ruzhuo would not change his mind.

"Thank you, Lord Hou." Zhao Pan'er said gratefully.

Zhou Chen said: "Pan'er, there is no need to say thank you between us. If the introduction is your sister, then she is also my sister. This is what I should do; what's more, I promised her a long time ago that I would help her get out of citizenship, but I haven't had time recently, and last time because of our affairs, she had a conflict in her heart, so it hasn't been resolved until now, so I just took this opportunity to help her get out of citizenship."
