Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 264 A Moment's Difference

General Chen was at his wit's end; his face turned sour, and his thoughts were in turmoil.

He really didn't know what the young master was thinking, nor did he know why the young master was angry.

But to be on the safe side, he did not intend to continue contact with Lord Zhou, or even mention him, whether it was for good or bad.

General Chen had prepared for the worst; he didn't want to anger the young master over such a trivial matter.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy; there was no sound around, you could hear a pin drop.

This atmosphere put immense psychological pressure on General Chen.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his usually strong, lean legs suddenly felt weak.

The main problem was that he couldn't be sure what Fusu was really thinking.

He didn't know what he had done wrong.

General Chen quickly said, "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, young master. I will never have any dealings with Lord Zhou again, and I will never speak well of him again."

"I know my mistake."

General Chen knelt on the ground, his head bowed in a gesture of submission.

Although he didn't know exactly what he had done to offend the young master, he knew it must be because of Lord Zhou's matter.

Unsure of the specific reason that had angered the young master, General Chen naturally wanted to do everything in his power to avoid it.

Although Lord Zhao had a good impression of him, General Chen would not gamble his future.

Therefore, General Chen naturally abandoned the idea of ​​the fake Zhou official saying nice things.

He had only spoken well of Lord Zhou in front of the young master, saying a few words, and not directly, but rather subtly.

I didn't expect that the young master would get angry over just that, which shows that he can't mention Lord Zhou anymore.

The young master never gets angry over trivial matters, but if he does get angry, it must be because he has crossed the company's bottom line.

Only in this way can we anger the young master.

Although General Chen did not know exactly what Lord Zhou had done to offend the young master, since the young master so strongly rejected and disliked Lord Zhou.

If he, as the subordinate, were to continue offering indirect advice, he would be failing to grasp his master's true intentions.

General Chen abandoned his idea of ​​clearing Lord Zhou's name.

He was Fusu's subordinate, and no matter what, he would always obey Fusu's orders first and foremost, without being swayed by any favors or mischievous thoughts from others.

He would not betray Fusu because of these external reasons.

Fusu cut General Chen's head so low and meek, it seemed as if he knew he had made a mistake.

It's good that he can admit his mistakes and correct them. Besides, General Chen has been by his side for quite some time. As long as he can correct his mistakes, he doesn't mind giving General Chen a chance to start anew.

Fusu looked at General Chen with a slightly serious expression.

Seeing that the other party was no longer insisting on speaking well of Lord Zhou.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "General Chen, you are very thoughtful. You know you have military power, and I personally trained you. Yet now you are doing this because of an outsider."

"Not only have you repeatedly violated your own principles, but you've even angered me. It's clear that you've misunderstood things. If I let your memory continue to cloud your judgment, you might do even more wrong things."

"That Lord Zhou received bribes from corrupt officials before we even investigated him. Even if he didn't directly embezzle the court's money, the fact that he accepted money from corrupt officials is equivalent to embezzlement."
