Orthodox six years.
spring.
Eastern Depot Governor was ordered to return to Beijing.
General Xie was promoted to the fourth rank, General Xuanwu, and all the generals under his command were promoted, and were ordered to guard Lingnan.
Lingnan and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and Emperor Zhengtong's thoughts are self-evident.
It is a heavy weight, and it is also a beating.
When the Jianghu sects heard this, they burst into tears of joy and celebrated like a New Year. They thanked their ancestors and sects for blessing the descendants through the evil calamity.
In less than two years, masters were killed and injured, sects were destroyed, and there were more than ten battles between good and evil.
The horror of military encirclement and suppression has become a nightmare for people in the world.
Eastern Depot Governor is the Lord of Nightmares!
All Jianghu people who have experienced these two years no longer have the courage to provoke Eastern Depot, but they will not admit defeat, but will instill hatred into their disciples.
I hope that one day a peerless genius will emerge and kill the Eastern Depot Governor to avenge his dead comrades.
Isn't that what the storybooks say, justice will eventually defeat evil!
As for how many righteous people died before justice defeated evil, no one paid attention or cared.
Early March.
The drizzle is like smoke and mist.
Tap tap tap...
More than a hundred cavalrymen galloped along the official road, wearing black horses, black hats, black cloaks, and standard double swords at their waists.
Eastern Depot fanzi!
After recognizing the identity of the cavalry, no matter whether they were gentry, officials, or wealthy businessmen, they quickly drove out of the way and waited by the roadside for the fans to disappear under the curtain of rain before they dared to continue on their way.
Eastern Depot, established three years ago by Zhengtong, has reached a stage of great fame and overwhelming power.
After a while.
In the mist and rain, I could see the shadow of the towering city wall.
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with joy, and he shook the reins vigorously. Ebony Cloud Treading Snow ran a little faster.
Outside the city gate.
Eighteen Foster Sons is eager to see it, Eastern Depot officials are waiting eagerly.
Eastern Depot Fanzi occupied the city gate early in the morning and drove the soldiers and people aside. If he dared to make any complaints, Surveillance Bureau a walk through the dungeon would reveal treason even if he was not guilty.
Since the establishment of the Surveillance Bureau, the number of officials secretly hiding dragon robes has suddenly increased!
Xilulu!
Ebony Cloud Treading Snow raised its front hooves, and Zhou Yi looked down from high above.
"Meet my godfather!"
"Meet the Governor!"
Gan'er and the officials all knelt down on the ground. Whether it was true or false, their eyes were full of excitement, as if they had seen their relatives who had been dead for many years.
The great Eastern Depot Governor has returned to his loyal Surveillance Bureau!
"Get up."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. "Did anything happen to the Surveillance Bureau when our family was away?"
Everyone shook their heads. "Relying on the reputation of the Governor, no one dares to disobey Surveillance Bureau, but there are more and more people participating in the court."
"Whenever there are less people participating, something big has happened!"
Zhou Yi got off his horse and got on the official sedan surrounded by everyone.
All the way south. `
The usually noisy and lively streets are deserted, and there is Eastern Depot fanzi on duty more than ten feet away.
It is by no means a tyranny to clean the streets, but it is just to tell the people that today is a bad day and it is not suitable to travel!
Zhou Yi was sitting on the official sedan and dozing off. Suddenly he heard noises and scoldings from castrated dogs and lackeys. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who's in front?"
The voice of godson Xiao Yinzi came from outside the sedan. "Godfather, King Who Pacifies the West Crown Prince Feng Ze, seems to be drunk, and the guard got into trouble with Kailu Fanzi."
"King Who Pacifies the West..."
Zhou Yi thought slightly, opened the curtain and looked forward.
There was a young man in white lying in the middle of the street. His body was stained with a lot of mud and water. He was holding a jar of wine in his arms. He was so drunk that he didn't know what he was talking about.
Next to him were seven or eight majestic men, all with fierce auras, confronting Fanzi.
There are few people in Daqing who can compare with the Surveillance Bureau, and King Who Pacifies the West is one of them. It is so powerful that it is even better.
Zhou Yi said coldly, "A few soldiers and barbarians dare to cause trouble in Kyoto, I will kill them!"
"As commanded."
Xiao Yinzi's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he leaped forward. Two short blades slipped out of his cuffs, and a continuous flash of sword light flashed, and there were several more corpses on the street.
"Dare you!"
The royal master who was secretly protecting him sternly scolded him and quickly appeared in front of Feng Ze, fearing that Xiao Yinzi would hurt the prince.
Xiao Yinzi stood in the rain and glanced at the drunken Feng Ze, with contempt and disdain flashing in his eyes.
The top three losers in the capital, these people are just lucky. If they had the same background, they would have died of freezing and starvation in the famine years.
"No matter who dares to block my godfather's way, our family will not let him go!"
When Eastern Depot heard this, they all stepped forward and drew out their sabers. With only Xiao Yinzi's order, they dared to hack King Who Pacifies the West to death.
"Eastern Depot is so majestic!"
The head guard looked gloomy, but he was surrounded by hundreds of people, and his situation was stronger than his own. He signaled to the left and right to take the prince away to make way for him.
The two guards held Feng Ze, not caring about dragging their legs on the floor, and placed it casually in the corner of the street.
Xiao Yinzi Seeing this situation, the contempt in his eyes became even stronger. Even the palace guards looked down on the prince. He was worthy of being a famous tiger father and son in Daqing.
The official sedan continued to move forward, Zhou Yi stared at the drunk Feng Ze.
Art of Breath Listening has already cultivated to perfection and can clearly distinguish the sound of a person's heartbeat. Feng Ze's heart is strong and powerful, similar to that of a master of martial arts. He is definitely not a waste who is incompetent in writing and martial arts as rumored.
If you look closely at the mud on Feng Ze, it is only a superficial layer, and the inner lining is as clean as new.
Zhou Yi flicked out a wisp of infuriating energy and penetrated Feng Ze's chest from a distance of several feet, testing whether the other party was keeping a low profile or pretending to be a ghost.
The true energy fell on Feng Ze, as if a mud cow had fallen into the sea, and his outer shirt was not even torn open.
Feng Ze seemed to sense something, and slowly opened his drunken eyes, facing Zhou Yi who was looking over, with helplessness, determination and fierceness flashing in his eyes.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh a few times and said something strange.
"The people in this capital are so interesting!"
Surveillance Bureau.
There are many cadres and officials around.
Zhou Yi was sitting on the master's chair, looking through the cases Eastern Depot had investigated in the past two years.
"What's going on with this Grand Canal Governor case? Our family has long said that we would rather investigate Mr. Ge than provoke the water transport!"
Eastern Depot is so powerful, but he doesn't just check whoever he wants.
For example, all the previous Grand Canal Governors were greedy, but they had millions of water workers under their command and were in important positions in transporting grain. The gains outweighed the losses by fighting against them. If they were pushed into a hurry, big trouble would definitely occur.
If you find an excuse for congestion and water transportation is suspended for two months, the price of rice in the capital will skyrocket!
"Godfather, this matter is under your Majesty's supervision."
Xiao Changzi, the cadre next to him, said helplessly, "His Majesty asked Eunuch Yuan to issue a secret decree. Governor Zhu is greedy and has ruined water transportation. He must be dismissed from his post as soon as possible and his property will be confiscated."
"This is what His Majesty meant!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. Everyone knew that Grand Canal Governor was greedy, so this must not be the reason for confiscating the property. It must be that he was in the wrong team.
"Your Majesty is the common master of the world, and there are only two or three people who can oppose him, either from the north or from the palace..."
"The north is too far away from the capital. Governor Zhu was personally promoted by His Majesty, and the water workers formed the famous Grand Canal Gang. It belongs to the boundary of half court and half rivers and lakes."
Zhou Yi's mind was spinning, and he quickly analyzed who Governor Zhu was, and further deduced from this that His Majesty could not help but take action.
"Governor Zhu's head is our family's signature!"
Zhou Yi thought about this and asked, "Does Imperial Jade Seal still have the dragon robe Imperial Jade Seal in the Si Zhong? Send a few to Governor Zhu's home and bury some armor flags. Since it is His Majesty's will, then the nine tribes must be killed!"
"Don't worry, godfather, our family will arrange everything properly."
Xiao Changzi looked happy, Grand Canal Governor is the richest in the world, and one fortune is worth what others have earned for ten years.
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, and then gave instructions. "Contact the Jianghu secret agents in the department, assassinate Governor Zhu to eliminate harm to the people, and keep an eye on Grand Canal Gang's movements."
Grand Canal Gang is located close to the capital, with tens of thousands of young and strong gang members, which can be regarded as a very powerful force.
The person in the palace is most likely a remnant of the Three Yang Sect, who was suppressed by the imperial court and has not been exposed to the world. Perhaps he is secretly controlling Grand Canal Gang to plot unspeakable things.
Zhou Yi is just speculation, we need to alert the snake before making follow-up plans.
Xiao Changzi asked, "Should the assassin really kill Governor Zhu?"
"Of course."
Zhou Yi said, "Tell those Jianghu spies who can kill Governor Zhu, their sect will be exempted from taxes, and their disciples can join Surveillance Bureau on duty."
Fake officialdom, all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.
The real officialdom is directly destroyed physically!
After making clear arrangements Grand Canal Governor and asking about a few key cases, Zhou Yi put the file aside and glanced at the cadres and officials present.
After a while.
"Xiao Zhongzi stay, let others do their work."
Zhou Yi retreated to the left and right, leaving the usually inconspicuous Gan'er alone, and said, "We have something to do at home. You can do it by yourself in private. If you do it well, you will be rewarded greatly."
Xiao Zhongzi didn't care about the jealous looks of others, and knelt on the ground. "My godfather told me that there is nothing else in our family but loyalty that no one can compare to!"
Left alone, he obviously does not trust others. This is the opportunity to win the favor of his godfather and become the leader of Eighteen Foster Sons.
"Eastern Depot, our family believes in you the most!"
Zhou Yi gave a few words of false encouragement and said, "Eastern Depot There is someone who is colluding with King Who Pacifies the West, or has received benefits. You should find out who it is. Our family needs to be well organized!"
Eastern Depot can frame and murder, and can be greedy for money, but he can't get close to the military and political ministers.
For example, Pacification Office commander, who is not secluded from the court, the more he is surrounded by enemies, the more his Majesty will value him.
If you are really entangled with King Who Pacifies the West, regardless of whether you have other intentions, Your Majesty will treat it as a rebellion!
Xiao Zhongzi said, "Don't worry, godfather, our family will investigate as soon as possible."
"One more thing."
Zhou Yi said, "We sent experts to keep an eye on Crown Prince King Who Pacifies the West. Even when he goes to sleep at night, someone has to keep an eye on him in turns to record his every word and deed."
Xiao Zhongzi bowed down and took orders, wondering how his godfather would treat King Who Pacifies the West.
Xiao Yinzi just killed the palace guard. On the surface, he seemed to be an enemy. No one can tell what the real situation was. He might have been deliberately acting to show outsiders.
If some father has a good relationship with King Who Pacifies the West, then our family must prepare a way out early and ask someone else to be his godfather.
The country will never allow a second King Who Pacifies the North to appear!
As for the so-called loyalty, Xiao Zhongzi will always be loyal to power...
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After the notification.
Zhou Yi looked excited and slid all the way to kneel in front of Emperor Zhengtong.
"My slave, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Since we left the capital the year before last, we have been thinking about Your Majesty day and night. Today we can finally be with you again..."
As I spoke, I was moved to tears.
"Little Yi Thank you for your hard work!"
Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly and praised, "Little Yi is my right-hand man. If I can leave a few notes in the history books in the future, Little Yi's name will definitely be indispensable."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"
Zhou Yi was moved and said, "I don't ask for a name in the history books. I am satisfied if I can serve His Majesty. If it is recorded in the history books that we are His Majesty's lackeys, it is a great compliment."
Emperor Zhengtong became more and more happy and signaled to the waiter on duty. "Give Little Yi a seat."
The servants all belonged to Directorate of Palace Attendants. They moved to a golden pier, nodded slightly to Zhou Yi without leaving any trace, and returned to the original place of duty.
Zhou Yi It suddenly became clear that His Majesty is in a good mood today.
I thanked Your Majesty for the seat. I rubbed my buttocks slightly against Jin Dun, relying solely on my true energy to support my sitting posture.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to ride in the rivers and lakes, and I have come back today. I have destroyed seventy-two Jianghu sects, large and small, recovered five million acres of mountains and fields, and obtained 22 million taels of gold and silver..."
As one thing was told, Emperor Zhengtong felt more comfortable.
The chamberlains have already compiled statistics on these things, but they never tire of hearing about them. Everyone who becomes an emperor wants to be extremely rich.
At the same time, the Jianghu sect's wealth far exceeded Emperor Zhengtong's expectations, which strengthened his determination to reform. These untaxed acres were digging into the foundation of the country.
"Little Yi has made outstanding contributions and deserves a big reward!"
Emperor Zhengtong said, "Draft a decree to promote Little Yi to the Eunuch Bureau General Admiral, to supervise the officials of the Twelve Divisions and to correct the atmosphere in the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yi quickly stood up and knelt down. At this time, he was actually moved to tears.
In fourteen years, after many favors and humiliations, he finally climbed to the top of the Eunuch Bureau, and became the number one eunuch in Daqing just like Eunuch Chu did back then.
Emperor Zhengtong said meaningfully, "Eunuch Bureau is in charge of Little Yi. Don't let me down."
Zhou Yi's heart trembled, and he quickly said, "I will be loyal and loyal, and I will go to pieces to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"
"I truly believe in Little Yi."
Emperor Zhengtong waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yi to step back.
Leave Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhou Yi received the belt card of the Chief Admiral and walked all the way to Directorate of Palace Attendants. As the place where he made his fortune, he always felt that it was different from Directorate of Palace Affairs and Directorate of Imperial Supplies.
"Eunuch Yi."
A voice came from the corner, and the speaker was a delicate palace maid. "My Majesty was unwell a few days ago and killed several servants. We still need Eunuch Yi to send a few more capable ones."
Zhou Yi recognizes the identity of the palace maid, Empress is the palace official next to the empress, and manages the trivial affairs of the harem on behalf of the phoenix seal.
"It turns out to be girl Linglong. I haven't seen her for a while."
Zhou Yi's eyes rolled around and he said, "We will send someone over right now. They must be Eunuch Bureau's masters. Please be more gentle, don't get so angry."
Linglong was slightly startled, his brows furrowed slightly, he stared at Zhou Yi for a long time and turned to leave.
"I will tell the Queen exactly what Eunuch Yi said."
"Trouble."
Disdain flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. If he couldn't break up with Empress, just these words would crush Linglong's head.
"Our family is still too kind-hearted!"
Return to Directorate of Palace Attendants and call your godson Xiao Yinzi.
"Go and check the nine clans of Linglong. To be able to become a female official in the palace is definitely not an ordinary family background."
Zhou Yi must kill people and eradicate them to avoid being lonely down below, and then ordered.
"Our family remembers the Jiangning Su Family piece of cloth, holding the eldest prince's name tag, telling them that the palace's purchase quantity and price will double this year!"
