"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Recently, a few Jianghu assassins came to the capital, specializing in killing people from Dongchang, and now the people from Dongchang are so frightened that they don't even dare to enter their own gates, and they all hide in Dajue Temple for refuge!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

"This group of eunuchs, someone can finally cure them!"

"I hope this group of rangers will kill them all!"

"I can't say that, if there weren't for these Jianghu people, our Ming wouldn't be so messy."

"I heard that a few days ago, there was a martial arts conference held in Jiangnan, and a lot of people were killed by mistake, and in the end, the people of the court went to investigate and just paid some money to deal with the matter, and they didn't dare to provoke those people on the rivers and lakes at all!"

"Alas! There are eunuchs in the court who are chaotic in the country, and the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes are not good people, and only we ordinary people are suffering! ”

In a restaurant in the west of the capital, three figures dressed in warrior robes and holding long swords sat by the window, listening to the discussions of the surrounding drinkers without saying a word.

But there was a glint in his eyes.

A black-clothed warrior whispered: "No wonder I can't see anyone in Dongchang these days, it turns out that I have all hid in Dajue Temple!" ”

A burly man said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, Li Zhong, the deputy governor of Dongchang, is hiding in Dajue Temple, and now that Wan Yulou is dead, should we kill this Li Zhong together?" ”

"yes!"

"Now that Wan Yulou is dead, if even the deputy governor is dead, it will definitely be a great blow to the eunuchs, and when the time comes, see how arrogant those eunuchs will be?!"

The black-clothed warrior next to him also said excitedly.

Hearing this, the sword-wielding man in the middle who was thin frowned and hesitated.

"We've killed a lot of people from Dongchang in the past few days, and the families of the three adults have all been sent away, so there's no need to make any more extraneous branches, right?"

The burly man hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao, we're all here, we can't go home empty-handed, right?" ”

"yes!"

The black-clothed warrior next to him echoed: "Although Brother Zhao killed Wan Yulou, several people in the core of the East Factory have not died, and Li Zhong, the deputy governor of the East Factory, has also done a lot of bad things with Wan Yulou over the years, if we don't kill him, when he becomes the governor of the East Factory, then the court will shed blood again, and we will have lost all our efforts!" ”

When the man heard this, his eyes were also a little moved.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to Dajue Temple tonight to have a look, but if you can't do anything, you must leave quickly, and you must not fight, otherwise once we are under siege, we won't even be able to leave!" ”

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, as far as the waste of the East Factory is concerned, we can come if we want, and leave if we want, what is there to be afraid of!"

"Not bad!"

"In the past six months, the strongest leaders of the East Factory have all been our sword ghosts, and now even Wan Yulou has become Brother Zhao's sword ghost, what other masters can there be in the East Factory?"

The two said nonchalantly.

"A mountain is still a mountain high!"

"Once we meet the best of the best, it can't be so smooth!"

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital, no better than the outside, we still can't be careless!"

The sword-wielding man shook his head with a solemn expression.

If there were people from Dongchang here, they would definitely be able to find out that these three people were the three Jianghu assassins who robbed Shen Qianzhi and the two Ministry of Rites officials at the Longjiang Naval Shipyard.

And this sword-wielding man is the swordsman who took the head of Wan Yu Lou, Zhao Huai'an!

…

At night, the moon and stars are scarce.

Beijing, Xishan Dajue Temple.

Several Dongchang officials in yellow python robes hid in the heavily guarded temple and discussed in a low voice.

At the head was a slightly chubby, majestic eunuch.

This person is the deputy governor of the East Factory, Li Zhong.

"Gonggong Li, now that Lord Wan Du is dead, how should we write it when we submit it to the emperor?"

"yes!"

"It's this Zhao Huai'an again, forcing us to hide here, it's really damned!"

"What if you don't report it?"

"Don't report? Lord Wan Du was killed by the people of the rivers and lakes, such a big thing, if someone makes trouble to the emperor, can we afford it?! ”

"Humph! Now the court is controlled by us, and if anyone dares to cross our direct performance in front of the emperor, we will destroy his mouth, this is not simple! ”

"Yes, that's it!"

"Wait a few days, find another reason to report the death of Grandpa Wan!"

Everyone said a word, discussing how to suppress the death of Wan Yulou.

After all, life in Dongchang is not easy now.

In order to suppress the East Factory, the emperor set up the West Factory, and fought openly and secretly with the East Factory, and people died almost every day.

Moreover, all officials hate the eunuch party, in case those ministers of the court and the central government learn of Wan Yulou's death, someone will inevitably fall into the well and try their best to suppress Dongchang.

So they all wanted to suppress Wan Yulou's death first.

Li Zhong sat on the main seat, listening to everyone's discussions, his face was very gloomy.

As the deputy governor of Dongchang, Wan Yulou died, and he should have been the happiest person.

But now he was not happy at all.

In the past few days since returning to Beijing, he killed Wan Yulou and a few Jianghu assassins who made trouble everywhere, and killed many people from Dongchang.

He was the deputy governor of Dongchang, but when he returned to the capital, he didn't even dare to enter the gate of his house, so he could only hide in this Dajue Temple to discuss matters, and he was always worried.

How does this make him happy?

A moment later.

He waved his hand, suppressed everyone, and said coldly: "Just do what Huang Gonggong said first, the news of Gonggong Wan's death can be concealed for as long as possible." ”

"Gonggong Wan is dead, the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation, not only to guard against the West Factory, but also against Wei Zhongxian's remnants."

"Those remnants have been lurking since Wei Zhongxian's death, under the leadership of Wan Gonggong all these years, although those remnants of the party dare not come forward and are much more honest, but now that Wan Gonggong is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have ideas!"

"Before the emperor knows about the death of Gonggong Wan, the situation must be stabilized quickly, and the remnants of the party must not be given a chance!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, and they all nodded solemnly.

Over the years, the East Factory has not been monolithic.

The last governor of Dongchang was Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, claiming to be nine thousand years old, and had great power in the court back then, and even the emperor had to look at Wei Zhongxian's eyes.

Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he saw the danger of the eunuch party, so he made up his mind to suppress Dongchang.

After the fall of Wei Zhongxian, the remnants of the party fled to death, but some of them were not deeply involved, and the emperor remembered the old feelings, so he did not kill them, and let them continue to stay in Dongchang.

One of the biggest forces is a group of people led by Zhao Jingzhong, the head of the East Factory, under the suppression of Wan Yulou over the years, although this group of remnants did not dare to take the lead, but at this moment Wan Yulou is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have ideas.

In addition, Liu Xi, the second stall head of the East Factory, has recently cultivated a force, and he also has thoughts about the position of the overseer.

They are all henchmen of Wan Yu Lou, and they have been marked with the mark of Wan Yu Lou.

And Li Zhong has also been loyal to Wan Yulou over the years.

Now that Wan Yulou is dead, they naturally have to find a way to help Li Zhong ascend to the position of overseer, otherwise whether Zhao Jingzhong or Liu Xi becomes the overseer of Dongchang, their lives will not be easy.

"Alright, let's all disperse!"

Li Zhong got up and said, "Recently, let's keep a low profile, don't become the ghost of the sword of those thieves." ”

Hearing this, a Dongchang official frowned and said, "Gonggong Li, this group of chaotic parties has not left, we can't hide here all the time, right?" ”

"yes!"

"Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?"

The rest also spoke.

Li Zhong waved his hand and said: "This seat has been investigated, these Jianghu assassins sneaked into the capital this time in order to secretly pick up the families of those officials who were rescued by them, as long as we don't do anything to the families of those officials, they won't find them." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhong snorted coldly, "Moreover, the capital is not outside, they continue to make trouble, even if we can't catch them, the one in the Dragon Guardian Villa will not let them go!" ”

At the mention of the Dragon Protector Villa, everyone nodded, and their hearts settled down a little.

"You're right, with our strength, we really don't dare to mess around in the capital."

"But before I go, it's okay to kill you!"

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded in the main hall.

"Who?!"

Everyone was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly turned to look, but saw that on the Buddha statue behind the main hall, at some point, a man in black with a sword appeared, staring at them coldly.

"Zhao Huai'an?!"

A group of Dongchang officials were shocked and hurriedly retreated to the back.

"Where's the guard?!"

"Someone! Come on! ”

The crowd shouted in horror.

The shadow of the famous tree of man!

On the day of the Longjiang Naval Shipyard, even the first master of the East Factory, Wan Gonggong, was killed by this Zhao Huai'an in just a few moves, how could they not be afraid? !

"Who? Dare to trespass on Dajue Temple?! ”

"Kill!"

"Ah......h

At this moment, there was also chaos outside the Dajue Temple, and after a commotion, a dense fighting sound sounded.

On top of the Buddha statue, Zhao Huaian held a long sword and said coldly: "You geldings who are causing trouble to the country and the people, no one can save you today!" ”

"Really?"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded from outside the door.

Immediately after, dense footsteps sounded outside.

Bang –

There was a loud bang, and a black shadow flew in from outside the door, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

Zhao Huai'an looked down, his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Ling Guozhou!" ”

At this time, with a scream, another burly swordsman also fell into the main hall, his body stained with blood, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Huai'an in the hall with all his might, his eyes were full of horror and remorse, and he said with difficulty: "Hurry up...... Let's go......"

Before the words fell, he tilted his head and fell to the ground, without breath.

"Lei Chongzheng!"

Zhao Huai'an's face was ugly, he clenched the long sword in his hand, and turned his head to stare at the door.

Treading ......

With the sound of crisp footsteps, a group of figures wearing Xichang costumes strode in.

Both sides were surrounded by Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei, but everyone's eyes were full of fear, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.

It's just because the person who is the leader is wearing a silver-white python robe, carrying his hands behind his back, and his handsome face is full of a domineering spirit that looks down on the world.

This person is the recent rise of the rookie in the DPRK, the Governor of the West Factory, Yuhuatian!
