The next morning, it was still dark.

Wen Chen, who had just been squinting on the hard bed for a while, was woken up by the sound of the door calling in the yard.

Pei Zhi handed over a set of brown clothes and asked Wen Chen to change into them.

Pointed round hat, soap boots, embroidered moire, dressed in Wen Chen really looks like that.

"Well, yes, there is a bit of our family's style back then." Pei Zhi nodded in satisfaction.

Wen Chen snorted lightly and took a picture of the bronze mirror.

"Master Pei, why doesn't Your Majesty arrange a big official for me to be a leader, and a supervisor has no real power, so it is inevitably inconvenient to do things."

The fat eunuch glanced at him, "Don't underestimate the position of the head of the class, generally the instructions of the East Factory are issued to the Zhenguo Division by these inconspicuous-looking minions, from which you can get a lot of useful information, our family has taken a lot of effort to arrange you in, don't be satisfied." ”

"Which adult is the little one coming with?"

"Eunuch Bingbi, Durham!"

Wen Chen raised his eyebrows, "The second-in-command of the East Factory? ”

Pei Zhi waved his hand, "To be precise, it is to switch back and forth between the second-in-command and the third-in-command, as for why, you will slowly understand it later." ”

Cut, it's all at this time, what else is it selling!

Wen Chen pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say anything.

packed up, put the half-stack of silver tickets left by Jude Lu yesterday into his jacket, and followed Pei Zhi out of the imperial city.

To the east of the inner city, next to the Dongzhi Gate, is the office of the East Factory and the Zhenguo Division.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is an endless stream of public officials, and Wen Chen is wearing the costume of the head of the class, which is not very conspicuous.

Along the way, Pei Zhi explained some precautions to him without a word, being in the East Factory is not the same as the rules of serving people in the palace.

Because the eunuchs dominate the discourse in the East Factory, the people of the four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve prisons are mixed, and they monitor the entire Dasheng in an all-round way for His Majesty.

Among the twelve eunuchs, in addition to the most important as the emperor's secretary, the imperial horse eunuch is also a very powerful department, they are not only in charge of horses, but also control a team of guards in the palace, under the jurisdiction of the four guards, also known as the "four guards".

According to Pei Zhi, the Four Guards had more than 20,000 men in the heyday of the first emperor, but later His Majesty succeeded to the throne and found several reasons to reduce their establishment, and now there are less than 10,000 people left.

Even so, the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor is also known as the military department of the eunuchs, and the limelight is only under the palm seal of the celebrant Wei Cheng.

Wen Chen saw a majestic attic building in the East Factory from afar, with the name of "East Ji Shi Factory" hanging on the door, and a small door inside, with four big characters of "Liufang Baishi" written on it.

A eunuch at the door, who looked to be thirty pairs old, saw Pei Zhi coming and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Master Pei, you're here!"

Pei Zhi snorted and asked casually, "Little nobleman, have you waited for a long time?" ”

Xiao Guizi hurriedly helped, "Where is Master Pei, it's too early for the little one." ”

Yo! I'm pretty good at licking!

Wen Chen looked at the little nobleman with interest, although this person had a smile on his face, but his eyebrows were concave and his eyes were concave, and his seal hall was narrow, according to the numerology book that he had read before, he should be a narrow-minded and light-hearted person.

However, there are no absolutes, and in case a family is just born, it is impossible to say that the face hits the ground first.

"In Xia Wen Chen, I have seen the little noble father-in-law."

"Hey, Grandpa Wen doesn't have to be so polite, everyone has received the favor of Master Pei, and they will be senior brothers in the future, one day Grandpa Wen will be very popular, and I have to ask Grandpa Wen to take care of it!"

"Little Guizi Honghong laughed." Wen Chen politely hugged his fists and did not talk to him too much.

At this time, Pei Zhi shook the small fan lightly and said to the little nobleman, "Our family has found it for you, as for how to arrange it, you can do it yourself, you don't need to save face for our family." ”

"Master Pei laughed again, the little one must take good care of Grandpa Wen!"

Pei Zhi didn't seem to bother to respond, just hummed and waved away.

After sending Pei Zhi away, the little nobleman who was originally hunched slowly listened to his waist, squinted at Wen Chen, and his tone became casual.

"I don't know where Grandpa Wen was before?"

When you come up, you ask where you come from, and you can't run away with snobs!

Wen Chen snorted, stared at the little nobleman who was a head shorter than him, and hugged his arms, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, be careful to lose your head." ”

This momentum, just like Shangguan admonishing his subordinates, Xiao Guizi did not ease up for a while.

He had never seen a newcomer who dared to be so arrogant when he first arrived, unless the backstage was particularly hard!

"Could it be that Grandpa Wen is His Majesty......"

"Dare to ask?" Wen Chen's eyes widened, "Palm!" ”

"Yes, yes! Wen Ye is angry! ”

Xiao Guizi was startled by this momentum, and raised two slaps to slap himself in the face, but he didn't use much strength, but then he changed back to the respectful attitude he had when he saw Pei Zhi before.

Wen Chen sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't expect Pei Zhi to hand him over to Dongchang so hastily.

Although Pei Zhi said that he erased the traces when he entered the palace for himself, if he wanted to fabricate an identity out of thin air, he had to appear in person and pile up other people's memories, but this was obviously unrealistic.

The eunuchs in the palace are all under the twelve prison gates, and with the means of the East Factory, it is easy to find out that there is a problem with their origins, rather than spending their brainpower to make up a lie that may be exposed at any time, it is better to tell the truth and lie together, maybe there will be less trouble.

And this little nobleman should be just Pei Zhi's move, if he has an accident, the little nobleman can give it up at any time, anyway, he brought it in, and if something happens, he will definitely have to take the bag.

Thinking of this, Wen Chen glanced at the middle-aged eunuch with some pity.

You still pray that Lao Tzu will do things smoothly, if Lao Tzu has three long and two short, the first one to accompany the funeral is you!

"Little Guizi, do you know what you are here to do now?"

Xiao Guizi hesitated a little, "Master Wen, should you know or shouldn't know if you are young......?"

"What did you say to Master Pei before?"

"A few supervisors around Master Du, in the past half a month, they have either had something at home, or they have a sudden illness and can't do business, when Wei Gong has not heard from him recently, it is the time to employ people, the small one asked someone to find Master Pei, let Master Pei find a few suitable candidates, and the others came to report yesterday, only one is missing Master Wen." Xiao Guizi replied honestly.

Wen Chen nodded silently, don't think about it, any excuse such as something at home or a sudden illness must be the ghost of those two old things.

"How is your relationship with Master Pei?"

At the mention of this, the little nobleman immediately became interested and said, "When the little one first entered the palace, he was fortunate to be appreciated by Master Pei and followed him for two years, Master Pei has a deep affection for the little one, such as recreating his parents......

"Stop, stop!" Wen Chen interrupted with some impatience, "In addition to you, how many other people in the twelve prisons have followed Master Pei?" ”

In fact, he just wanted to inquire casually to see if Pei Fatzi was really loyal and patriotic as he said, and did not plant his own eyeliner in the East Factory, but when he heard this, there was another meaning in Xiao Guizi's ears.

I saw that he looked around cautiously, and seeing that no one noticed him, he leaned into Wen Chen's ear and whispered,

"Master Wen, this is trying to get on the throne?"

Wen Chen smiled slyly, "Don't be quiet. ”

"The little one can clearly tell Wen Ye that Master Pei must have a lot of eyeliner in the twelve prisons now, but the little one doesn't know who it is, do you want to help Wen Ye find out?" The little nobleman flattered.

"Okay!" Wen Chen patted him on the shoulder angrily, "I'll leave this matter to you, if the matter is done, I will be greatly rewarded!" ”

The two hit it off, and because the transmission pipeline of interests had just been opened, they became brothers after a while, and they were very familiar with each other.

Entering the East Factory, Wen Chen saw a group of eunuchs dressed similarly to himself gathered at the gate of a large hall, there were hundreds of people, staring intently at the person shaking the stick holder in the center of the circle.

"What are they doing?" Wen Chen asked.

Xiao Guizi smiled flatteringly, "Back to Master Wen, on the first day of the new year today, they are preparing to fight the incident." ”
