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

Chapter 269 Simple Warrior

General Chen wouldn't blindly believe that Lord Zhou was innocent; just as Fusu said, Lord Zhou was in such an environment.

It's incredibly difficult for him to stay out of it, and there haven't been any major cases here over the years, which suggests that Lord Zhou is probably more engrossed in it than anything else.

They might even have benefited from it, and perhaps they've received the most benefits. Don't be fooled by their honest and unassuming demeanor; when they really do something bad, you'd never guess.

Having spent a long time in officialdom, General Chen had seen quite a few treacherous and wicked people. Each of them had a different face, and you would never imagine that they were corrupt officials at first glance or based on your intuition.

Some officials even have an excellent reputation and are called great philanthropists or upright officials, receiving very high praise. However, upon closer examination, it is found that what they do is far worse than those of ordinary people.

Therefore, General Chen was neither upset nor questioning Fusu's words. After all, he had a better relationship with Fusu, and as for that Lord Zhou, he had only known him for a short time.

Moreover, Fusu was considered extremely intelligent by General Chen, after all, Fusu's father, Ying Zheng, was also very intelligent.

He dared not underestimate anyone in the world, let alone the emperor and the crown prince who could unify the world.

General Chen was very fortunate to be close to Fusu, which was why he was able to receive such a reminder. Most people would probably see through it but not say anything.

Who wants to offend someone?

What's more, it's for strangers? General Chen understood this self-preservation mentality all too well.

Therefore, this question type is invaluable; it should not be questioned, but rather completely trusted.

Fusu was surprised that General Chen accepted his explanation so quickly. He didn't have any evidence yet, so his words couldn't be proven.

But Fusu didn't expect that General Chen would trust him so much, and that General Chen wouldn't question anything he said.

This puzzled Fusu, since General Chen was a simple-minded military man.

Such people are loyal and righteous, but they are very likely to be taken advantage of without realizing it, and may even get stuck in a rut because they are too simple-minded.

Therefore, it was surprising that General Chen's subordinate could immediately believe his story without even needing any evidence.

If you can get along with someone like that, new friends will drift away and might not even plead for you.

This puzzled Fusu, who had never trusted anyone like this before, so she couldn't understand General Chen's thoughts.

After all, who knows if someone in this world is truly devoted to you? What if you trust them and get betrayed?

Perhaps because their lifestyles were completely different, Fusu simply couldn't understand General Chen's way of thinking, let alone why he would trust someone so much.

Fusu had lived in the palace since childhood, and it was impossible for him to have never seen such dirty and sordid things. So, having experienced so much, he naturally only trusted himself and wouldn't trust others.

The psychological trauma he sometimes displays may just be a performance, and he doesn't actually trust the other person at all.

Therefore, Fusu was only in a daze for a moment before regaining his usual gentle and calm expression.
