Chapter 5: Undercurrents
East Plant.
A handsome young man in a red python robe, armed with a double-headed spear, was practicing martial arts in the school field.
This person is the head of the East Factory, Zhao Jingzhong!
At this moment, a woman in a tight black robe walked over quickly, and said with a solemn face: "Senior brother! ”
Zhao Jingzhong stopped practicing martial arts, put away his spear, wiped the sweat on his head, glanced at the woman, and said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”
Wei Ting said in a condensed voice: "I just received the news that Wan Yulou is dead!" ”
Swish!
Zhao Jingzhong suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "What did you say?!" ”
"Wan Yulou, dead!"
Wei Ting repeated.
Zhao Jingzhong's eyes suddenly rose with a thousand essences, clenched the spear in his hand, and said word by word: "Our opportunity is here!" ”
He didn't ask Wan Yulou how he died.
But as long as Wan Yulou is dead, he will never give up this opportunity to seize power!
He is Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, and after Wei Zhongxian fell, he did a lot of things to get rid of Wei Zhongxian.
Originally, he thought that as long as Wei Zhongxian left Daming, he would be the new overseer of Dongchang.
Who knew that there was a Wanyu Building.
Wan Yulou has served the emperor since he was a child, and he is deeply favored by the saints, and he can't do anything about it, not to mention that he is not Wan Yulou's opponent, so he can only temporarily suppress the ambition in his heart.
But now that Wan Yulou is dead, his chance has come!
Whoever wants to compete with him for the position of the overseer of the East Factory will have to die!
Zhao Jingzhong's eyes were cold, he looked at Wei Ting, and said, "Let our people prepare, act tonight, find out Li Zhong's location, and kill him!" ”
Li Zhong is the deputy governor of Dongchang, and after the death of Wan Yulou, he is the most likely to ascend to the position of overseer.
But a mere waste who became the deputy governor by currying favor with Wan Yulou, how could Zhao Jingzhong take him seriously?!
Wei Ting didn't move, and continued: "There is one more thing, Wan Yulou was killed by a swordsman named Zhao Huai'an, these days Zhao Huai'an sneaked into the capital, killed a lot of people from Dongchang, and went to Dajue Temple last night, trying to assassinate Li Zhong, but it was unsuccessful. ”
"Zhao Huai'an?"
Zhao Jingzhong frowned, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder so many people have died in the past few days, Li Zhong has not moved, he should want to hide the death of Wan Yulou." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Jingzhong looked at Wei Ting and asked, "What is the result?" ”
"Li Zhong didn't die, but Zhao Huai'an was killed by Yuhuatian, the superintendent of the West Factory!"
Wei Ting said in a deep voice.
"Yuhuatian?"
Zhao Jingzhong's face changed slightly, "The people from the West Factory, why are they meddling in this matter?!" ”
Wei Ting shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation, I only saw the people and horses of the West Factory surrounding the Dajue Temple, and the swordsman Zhao Huai'an died in the hands of Yuhuatian, and then the people of the West Factory withdrew, and Li Zhong also returned to the East Factory last night." ”
Zhao Jingzhong frowned, "Since Yuhuatian made a move, then he must also know about Wan Yulou's death, but he didn't take the opportunity to suppress Dongchang, but instead went to encircle and suppress the murderer who assassinated Wan Yulou and saved Li Zhong?" What exactly does he want to do? ”
Wei Ting didn't speak, and she didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Jingzhong's face changed for a while, and there was a deep worry in his eyes.
He is also very jealous of Yuhuatian, the director of the West Factory, who walked out of the East Factory, but in just half a year, the West Factory has developed enough to compete with the East Factory.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Jingzhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the West Factory, as long as Yu Huatian no longer interferes in this matter, don't pay attention to him, the most important thing now is to kill Li Zhong, get rid of this biggest threat, and then find a way to make a relationship and control the East Factory in our hands!" ”
Wei Ting reminded: "Although Wan Yulou is dead, but the masters under him are still there, we have indeed attracted a lot of people over the years, but Wan Yulou is very close, with our current manpower, I am afraid that we will not be able to completely eliminate the remnants of Wan Yulou!" ”
Zhao Jingzhong's brows also furrowed slightly.
After pondering for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Then please Jinyiwei!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Ting and said, "Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lu Wenzhao, he has a few masters with good strength under him, tell them, as long as you kill Li Zhong for me, I will give you anything!" ”
Jin Yiwei?
Wei Ting pondered for a moment, then nodded, without saying a word, and turned to leave.
Zhao Jingzhong stood in place, clenching the spear in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement and excitement.
"Father-in-law, I've finally waited for this day......"
…
On the other side of the East Factory.
A eunuch in his forties, dressed in a white python robe, sat in the mansion drinking tea with an indifferent expression.
His name is Liu Xi, the second gear head of the East Factory.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"
"Something is wrong!"
At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in and said excitedly: "Someone just received the news, Gonggong Wan, who was killed by a swordsman named Zhao Huai'an!" ”
"Huh?"
Liu Xi's face changed slightly, then he suddenly got up, looked at the little eunuch, and asked, "The news is true?!" ”
The little eunuch said excitedly: "The Longjiang Sailor reviewed, Wan Gonggong was beheaded by the Jianghu swordsman Zhao Huai'an with a sword, there are countless witnesses to this matter, and the news came from the Sailor Army!" ”
Liu Xi was immediately overjoyed and laughed: "Hahaha! Good! That's great! ”
"As soon as Wan Yulou dies, who can compete with our family for the position of overseer?"
"Just with Li Zhong's waste, is he worthy?!"
The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, Zhao Jingzhong, the head of the big stall, I'm afraid that he has already received the news, and he may also make a move." ”
Liu Xi said disdainfully: "Zhao Jingzhong just relied on the name of Wei Zhongxian's righteous son to win over a group of Wei Zhongxian's remnants, and with his little strength, he also wants to compete with this seat for the position of governor?" ”
"If he dares to do it, this seat will let him taste the taste of absorbing Dafa!"
"Gather your men now!"
Liu Xi looked at the little eunuch and ordered, "Without further ado, start acting tonight!" ”
"Yes, father-in-law!"
The little eunuch was ordered to leave.
Liu Xi walked to the door, looked at the sunset on the horizon, his eyes were infinitely domineering, and he snorted coldly: "This time, I must win!" ”
…
Under the same sky, the imperial city is inside.
In the verdant and green imperial garden, there are many pavilions, and in the long circular corridor, several palace maids in colorful clothes, with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, are surrounded by a beautiful woman in a green dress.
The beautiful woman has a graceful and luxurious figure, red lips and apricot eyes, picturesque eyebrows, holding an expensive Shih Tzu dog in her arms, and her hairy head arches over the tower, which makes the beautiful woman feel coquettish.
At this moment, the Shih Tzu's nose twitched, as if he smelled some familiar smell, and immediately began to struggle, wanting to leave the embrace that countless men had dreamed of.
The beautiful woman couldn't hold it, so she had no choice but to put it on the ground, but as soon as the Shih Tzu landed, she ran out forward, no matter how the beautiful woman barked, she didn't look back.
"Mother."
At this time, a palace maid walked quickly to bow and said, "Father-in-law Xichang Yu has been waiting in Cining Palace for a long time. ”
When the beautiful woman heard this, her apricot eyes lit up, she looked at the Shih Tzu dog in front of her who didn't look back, and snorted: "No wonder this dog is so dishonest, the nose is really smart." ”
Saying this, the beautiful woman also quickened her pace, followed the direction of the Shih Tzu dog, and went to Cining Palace.
Cining Palace.
Yuhuatian sat calmly on top of the guest seat in a silver-white python robe, waiting quietly.
In his memory, he had been here many times, and he knew what kind of virtue the owner of this palace was, so he didn't feel restrained, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and the lid of the cup was gently plucked on the tea.
"Woo ......"
At this time, there was a sudden barking of dogs outside, followed by a small Shih Tzu dog ran in, although the size was small, but the speed was not slow, and in the blink of an eye, he ran to the feet of Yuhuatian, wagging his tail, while sniffing at the feet of Yuhuatian, and his bright eyes were full of flattering looks.
Yuhuatian smiled, put down the teacup, hugged the Shih Tzu, and a burst of fragrance suddenly entered Yuhuatian's nose.
Without thinking about it, he knew who was coming.
Sure enough, after a while, with a burst of footsteps, the delicate voice of the beautiful woman sounded from outside the hall: "Heart and liver baby pistachio, come over and ......"
The corners of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether this sassy hoof was calling him, or the precious famous species from the Western Regions in his arms.
Handing the Shih Tzu dog to the palace maid next to him, Yuhuatian got up to greet the beautiful woman who entered the door, bowed his hand, and said, "I've seen Niangniang." ”
Wan Guifei glared at her with disgust, and her whole person was about to stick to Yuhuatian's body, "It's only been so few days since I saw it?" ”
Yuhuatian was helpless, waved his hand, and several palace maids retreated very interestingly, and also brought the door intimately.
Yu Huatian cursed in his heart, and it took a long time to suppress the flame in his heart.
The beautiful woman glanced at him and said, "What? I can't summon you into the palace if it's okay? ”
"Niangniang's words are serious, as long as Niangniang commands, no matter how busy the slave is, she must be on call and enter the palace to please Niangniang."
The beautiful woman snorted and said angrily: "You have a little conscience." ”
"I heard that this palace has gone to make trouble with the people of Dongchang again?"
When Yu Huatian heard this, his movements paused slightly, and then he continued to work as if nothing had happened, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
What happened last night has reached the palace so quickly?
That's interesting......
Concubine Wan glanced at him, as if she understood the dissatisfaction in his heart, snorted lightly, and said: "This palace sent you to the West Factory to take charge of the power in the palace, so that you can guard against the palace maids and carry the emperor's embroidery bed to the palace, why do you want to get involved in the affairs of the East Factory?" ”
"This Dongchang is not easy to mess with, even the emperor is quite jealous, and the palace is also worried that you will be hurt, so people will pay attention to the movements outside the palace!"
Yu Huatian smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, how can the slave live up to the trust of the mother?" ”
"Niangniang, please rest assured, the palace maids in this palace, as long as someone is looked at by the emperor more, they will definitely not survive the next day."
"As long as the slave is still alive for a day, no one will be allowed to threaten the status of the mother."
Concubine Wan half sat up, caressed Yuhuatian's face with both hands, her eyes were full of infatuation, "This palace is naturally at ease with you, if you are not a eunuch, how good it would be, this palace would rather not be this concubine in this deep palace, but would like to fly with you ...... both sides."
The words of the drama can't be taken seriously, so why not the words of the concubine?
If you really want to give up the glory and wealth you have now, and go to the end of the world with me, I'm afraid that you will turn around and kill me!
Yu Huatian said lightly: "It's a pity, the love for each other is deep, and the hatred is not early, if the slave maid can meet the mother earlier, she will not enter the palace to be a eunuch." ”
"When you meet, you will have a deep love, and you will hate to meet early...... Well said! ”
Concubine Wan sighed resentfully, her eyes were full of loneliness, and then she continued: "Your Majesty's body is not as good as day by day, and I don't know how long it can last." ”
"The imperial doctor said to let His Majesty move more, and in a few days, His Majesty is going to go out of the palace to play on the shore of Daming Lake and relax ......"
"The emperor is leaving the palace?"
Yu Huatian frowned.
"yes!"
Wan Guifei said resentfully: "At that time, the palace will definitely go with you, and then I won't see you for a long time, and you don't care about the palace at all." ”
Yu Huatian said lightly: "How can the slave and maid not care about the mother, but the slave and maid are now the overseer of the West Factory after all, and they must be responsible for the safety of the imperial city, and they must not leave their posts without permission." ”
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to send you to the West Factory." Wan Guifei was a little dissatisfied.
"I don't care, anyway, you have to enter the palace to accompany the palace these days!"
Yuhuatian's mind has long been far away.
Your Majesty is going out of the palace, which is not a good thing.
Just take this opportunity to completely take down Dongchang and Jinyiwei and control the court!
