Zhou An hurriedly walked into the study, and Xiao Tingzi, Tang Hongfei and others were already waiting for Zhou An.

"Is there any news of the Holy Deacon?" Zhou An asked when he entered the door.

"Factory father, not yet." The little pavilion immediately replied respectfully.

Tang Hongfei had no words, he was the commander of the secret guard, but he didn't know who the "holy deacon" was, or rather, he only knew that there was such a person, who was born in the big house, but he didn't know who it was, whether it was a man or a woman, and how old he was.

The affairs of the Holy Deacon are the sole responsibility of the Little Pavilion.

"Factory father, this time there are eighty-nine people recruited, all of whom are from the market, you can see ......"

Waiting for Zhou An to sit down, Tang Hongfei stepped forward and bowed down to hand a list to Zhou An. Dongchang has been recruiting people, and every batch of Zhou An has to see it in person, not only to see the list, but also to meet in person.

In Zhou An's opinion, there are still too few people in Dongchang.

If in the peaceful and prosperous period, one or two hundred thousand spies monitored the whole country, it would be only a lot more, but now, the world is turbulent, chaos is coming, and there are not enough people, because Zhou An is sitting in Qianjing, so he can't take care of the whole country for the time being, but he can still personally deal with the problem of increasing the number of people in Zhongzhou.

Afternoon.

Zhou An was alone in the study, flipping through the information.

Da-da-da-da!

Footsteps hurried.

The visitor knocked on the door, and then pushed the door directly in, and it was a small pavilion. He held a secret letter in his hand, walked quickly to the table, and said to Zhou An with both hands: "Factory Father, the letter of the Holy Deacon." ”

Zhou An immediately raised his head, took the fire paint letter, and tore it open.

Pull out the folded letter and open it.

Zhou An read the content, and the flesh on his face trembled.

There were only three words on the letter, three very, very big words - got it!

Seriously, Zhou An was angry, he was very serious about giving the Pure Land Holy Mother a task, the stakes were very high, and he was also looking forward to the reply of the Holy Mother of the Pure Land, what ideas did the Holy Mother of the Pure Land have, what arrangements did she have, and where she was going to reorganize the Pure Land Sect, at least give it time, about when she could contact Prince Su.

None at all!

Our Lady of the Pure Land replied with the words "I know", apparently intentionally.

Zhou An wanted to hit someone.

In fact, Zhou An does not doubt the ability of the Holy Mother of the Pure Land, a woman who can rule the world's No. 1 Demon Sect, a woman who has a great reputation in the whole rivers and lakes, and is terrifying! She is still reassuring.

But she didn't say anything, and it was very uncomfortable.

Zhou An put away the secret letter with an expressionless face, then took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Our Lady of the Pure Land, and the letter was written and handed to the small pavilion.

At dusk.

Zhou An led people out of the Dongchang Yamen, did not return to the palace first, but went straight to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. He now has the idea of merging the East Factory with the Zhenfu Division, and the Zhenfu Division will be a branch department of the East Factory, but now the time is not very ripe, and the empress may not agree, so as long as there is something, Zhou An has to run to the Zhenfu Division.

Similarly, Yuan Shengshi often ran to the East Factory.

A few horses galloped down the road.

On the tall tower in the distance, the figure in green clothes with a hat stood there again, looking at Zhou An on horseback from afar, he knew where Zhou An was going, because Zhou An's daily itinerary was basically fixed, going back and forth between the Dongchang Yamen and the palace, and occasionally going to the Zhenfu Division.

Now, Zhou An is going in that direction, and he must be going to pacify the Yamen.

Seeing Zhou An enter the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

The figure in Tsing Yi turned around and jumped down, returning to the courtyard again...... The courtyard where he is located is the Mansion of Yang Guogong. Yang Guogong was beaten as a rebel because of Wu Xukuan's rebellion, and his whole family was killed, and Yang Guogong's mansion was also raided, and a seal was affixed to the door.

In other words, the current Yang Guogong Mansion is uninhabited.

Backyard.

The figure in Tsing Yi stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looked at the pear tree that had sprouted, and said hoarsely: "Get ready to do it!" ”

"Yes!" There was a cold response all around.

……

In the inner prison of the pacification department, Zhou An hurried away, and Yuan Shengshi and a group of people followed behind Zhou An.

This time I came to the Zhenfu Division because Jinyiwei arrested another important rebel party, and he was only escorted back at noon today, and he was locked in the inner prison of the Zhenfu Division, and Zhou An came to help interrogate, because he has the ability to read memories, and Yuan Shengshi knows.

It took about half an hour for Zhou An and others to come out of the inner prison.

It's dark.

"General Yuan, do you want to go back to the palace?" Zhou An asked.

"Hmm." Yuan Shengshi nodded.

"If nothing else, shall we go for a walk together?" Zhou An raised his hand and gestured.

"Hmm." Yuan Shengshi nodded again.

He knew that Zhou An said this because he wanted to talk to him alone.

A group of Jinyi guards and a few eunuchs didn't wait for the two of them to command, they all slowed down, Zhou An and Yuan Shengshi continued to walk forward, and soon distanced themselves from them, the two wanted to talk alone, they didn't dare to eavesdrop.

In the corridor, Zhou An looked at the flowers in the corridor as he walked, and said, "General Yuan, how many people have been expanded to Jinyi now?" ”

It's like chatting.

Zhou An asked, asked a question from the west, and also said something about the situation of the East Factory, and finally, Zhou An pulled the topic to the issue of cooperation between the East Factory and Jinyiwei, Zhou An felt that the current cooperation between the East Factory and Jinyiwei was not close enough.

So Zhou An proposed that he wanted to relocate the East Factory.

Moved to the next door to the Zhenfu Division.

In fact, it is equivalent to merging the two yamen into one, next to each other, so that it is convenient. The reason why Zhou An proposed was to relocate the Dongchang Yamen, rather than Jinyiwei to move over, was because the Dongchang Yamen was on the edge of the palace, and it had been away for too long, and the place was not very moving, all of which were the mansions of the princes and ministers, as well as some important departments.

The Zhenfu Division is easy to do here, and Zhou An, the house on the side, said that it would be demolished, and if he said that he would build a new one, he would build a new one.

The second is that the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division has already built an inner prison, which is underground, very underground facilities, and if the Zhenfu Division is relocated and a new inner prison is built, it is very, very troublesome and takes too long, and it will be much easier for the Dongchang Yamen to move over.

Zhou An said this to Yuan Shengshi, naturally hoping that Yuan Shengshi could speak to the empress with him.

This was Zhou An's first step in wanting to annex the Pacification Division.

Yuan Shengshi agreed.

The night is misty.

More than a dozen horses galloped out of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division and walked towards the palace, Zhou An and Yuan Shengshi rode side by side, and they didn't ride fast, the two were still talking when they rode horses, Yuan Shengshi didn't talk much, so it was mainly Zhou An who was talking, and he was listening.

Ahead is the street entrance.

"General Yuan, you and I have been busy with official business recently, and when we have time, we can learn swordsmanship with you...... Someone, watch out for the assassins! ”

Zhou An said, and suddenly his voice changed, and he lowered his voice.
