Xu Qing and Chen Fu exchanged pleasantries, then came to the study at the Yansheng Gong Mansion.
Chen Fu asked, "Gongming, have you already discussed privately with Marquis Wuding and Zhao Jinzhong about the matter of raiding the Kong Mansion?"
Xu Qing's mind raced for a moment, but ultimately he decided to tell the truth. Anyone who could hold the position of Chen Fu must be savvy, there was no need for subterfuge, and he frankly said, "Indeed."
Chen Fu said, "That's good, I won't ask what specifically you discussed, and you don't need to tell me. My visit this time actually concerns another urgent matter."
Xu Qing responded, "Please enlighten me, sir."
