The establishment of the East Factory is not short. There was Zhu Yuanzhang first, and then Zhu Yunwen. With the support of two generations of emperors, Dongchang has quietly grown into a reckless beast with blood-red vertical pupils, sharp fangs, and sharp fingers and claws. Although there is still a slight gap with Jinyiwei in terms of heritage, with the trust of the emperor, it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed.

But the beast is just a beast after all, and the real point is his mind.

For Dongchang, Xu Ruyi's will and Yun Zheng's unconditional obedience are the cornerstones of Dongchang's strength.

This is a good thing, but sometimes it can become a bad thing, such as now.

Xu Ruyi is about to go out to investigate the theft of the salt tax, and he must go, because this matter was brought up by Zhu Yunwen as the emperor, and he can't help it.

Since the establishment of the East Factory, this is the first time that he is about to leave for a period of time. He is very uneasy, Yun Zheng is a person who keeps his way, and he will do his best to do the things given to him, but he lacks initiative, and when he really encounters any sudden major events, it is easy to lose his proportion.

It is not for nothing that there are people who can replace him, such as several hall masters of Tianmen in the palace. But Xu Ruyi still didn't want them to be too deeply related to the East Factory. This is an instinctive vigilance, taking a step back and saying, even if Xu Ruyi asks them to come, but within a day or two, I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress this group of crazy freaks in Dongchang out of thin air, but they are prone to chaos.

When things come to an end, the road still has to go on.

East Factory Lobby.

Xu Ru's face sank like water, her hands were naturally on her knees, sitting on the tiger skin chair at the top, a pair of Danfeng eyes scanned the left and right seats, thinking about what she wanted to say for a while.

Today's meeting is of great importance, and the East Factory has commanded Yun Zheng from the top to 16,000 households, all of whom are seated on both sides, and there is no absence.

For such a long time, there are actually a lot of talents in the East Factory. However, adhering to the principle of preferring shortage to excess, there are still many vacancies.

By the way, let's also introduce these people who are now in power in the East Factory.

Sitting first on the left hand seat was only the first person under Xu Ruyi, the commander of the East Factory, the commander Yun Zheng, and opposite him was Fang Tianyou, the head of the big stall.

On Yun Zheng's side, Zhou Buyan, the Reward Division, Ye Yuze, and the Black Cat of the Yin Law Division, sat down.

Behind the four people, there are the deputy directors of the four divisions, but in fact, there are only three people: Huang Jinyu, the deputy director of the Reward and Charity Division, Wei Yueming, the deputy director of the Inspection Division, and Liu Xizhi, the deputy director of the Punishment Division. The black cat is like this, no one looks down on it, and he never mentions what deputy is needed, in his words, "It's not okay to use anyone, it's better to let me take care of it." ”

Then, behind the deputy master, there are more than a dozen thousand households, so I won't talk about them one by one here.

On Yun Zheng's side are the management of the East Factory, while on Fang Tianyou's side, there are the executors of the will of the East Factory: Fang Tianyou, the head of the big stall, Gou Xiaoyun, the head of the third gear, the head of the third grade, Deng Gaoming, the head of the fourth gear, and the head Dongfang Han of the fifth gear. These five people have no right to interfere in the affairs of the four divisions of the East Factory, but they directly obey Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng, and when they receive the task, they can act cheaply, and the relevant people must cooperate unconditionally, which is equivalent to receiving orders at any time, and their status is transcendent.

When the golden rooster sang three times, the minds of these Dongchang gathered, but Xu Ruyi didn't speak, and no one dared to speak.

And so I waited until the dawn of the day.

When the blazing sunlight passed through the door and shone into the lobby of the East Factory, Xu Ruyi finally spoke: "You may have heard the news, our family is going out to investigate the case of the robbery of 400,000 taels of salt tax silver." Now that you are here in the East Factory, there should be no major incident if our family leaves for a while. But in the end, I still don't feel at ease, so I want to tell you a few words, and also tell me about the next arrangements. ”

After a pause, seeing that everyone looked serious and attentive, Xu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "This time, our family goes out, but we don't need to bring too many people, Fang Tianyou, just you and our family." By the way, I also went to the Demon Knife Gate to help you find your son. ”

"Yes! Fang Tianyou looked excited.

"By the way, it's not worth mentioning. Xu Ruyi waved his hand and looked at Yun Zheng again: "After our family leaves, as soon as the East Factory responds to the affairs, it will be handed over to Yun Zheng to deal with. ”

"Yes!" Yun Zheng stood up and arched his hand.

"The affairs of the four divisions are as usual, there is no need to change anything, just as usual. If there is really any big change that even you can't handle, someone will come to you with the Zijiao order, but just wait for you to listen to his orders. ”

Zijiao Order, Factory Public Seal, these two are the royal gold medals of the East Factory.

Who did the Zijiao Order give, Xu Ruyi didn't mean to explain, and Yun Zheng didn't ask.

"Listen to what follows. Our family is not here, and the development of the East Factory is still mainly oriented to the outside. The development of the forces in the capital is almost the same, there is no need to make great efforts, it is too much. Just listen to the government affairs of the court, don't mix, with your brains, you can't compare with those people. There's just one thing you have to keep an eye on me!

King Yan's three sons are now confined in the Zongren Mansion, and King Yan will definitely not give up on this. So, if there is any change, when necessary, we allow you to do anything, in short, we must not let them run away, understand?"

"Yes!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Hmm" Xu Ruyi nodded: "Let's go here, run a lap in the south and north of the world, but there will always be news back on the itinerary." Calculating the time, it can take a year and a half at most, or three or five months at the shortest, and the matter should be done. It's not too long, if you still poke the big basket, then it's best to wipe your neck before we come back, otherwise... You can't die!"

Threat, oppression, this is Xu Ruyi's way of control. It's cold, but it's the most suitable for the East Factory.

When everything was said and everyone dispersed, it was time for lunch. After changing into civilian clothes, Xu Ruyi hurried to the Drunken Immortal Building.

One meeting after another, there is a feeling of a later generation of leaders. It's a meeting, but it's a little more relaxed. The shopkeeper led him to the door of the private room, pushed the door open, Wang Yongzhen, Yamazaki Ryuya, and Hua Pengfei Dong Chao had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to come, but we were all ready to let Xiao Er serve the food. Wang Yongzhen got up with a smile and instructed the shopkeeper: "Let's serve, by the way, add another pot of tea, and Longjing." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and retired. Xu Ruyi sat down in the main seat, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of the bottom inside, and drank it all: "Ma Dan, I'm dying of thirst, my mouth is dry over there, and I have to rush over to accompany you to talk in the vernacular, I'm really miserable." ”

Wang Yongzhen smiled: "That's also what you asked for, who told you to leave so quickly?"

Xu Ruyi smiled, and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door, but it was Xiao Er who started to serve the food.

After a while, a table full of dishes was arranged, and Xiao Er said, "Slow use of the guest officer." He hunched himself and withdrew, and closed the door with his hand.

Xu Ruyi reached out and put the chopsticks and vegetables on the plate: "My brother, let's talk while eating." ”

For these people, Xu Ruyi is not as oppressive as when he was in Dongchang, and he can't be oppressed.

These people don't gather around them for power, and personal relationships account for a large part. If they had also engaged in high-pressure policies against them, it is estimated that they would have turned their faces at that time.

After simply eating a few bites of food to cushion his stomach, Xu Ruyi didn't put down his chopsticks, and said directly: "A few of us have been friends for a few years, and I will say it directly if I have something to say." His eyes first looked at Ryuza Yamazaki and Wang Yongzhen: "When the three of us first returned to Beijing, I made a promise to you. I promised you to make your people's life better, and I also promised you to return to Qingcheng Mountain. Now that we have the ability and the time is ripe, we naturally have to start working on it. ”

Xu Ruyi stretched out his hand, took out two envelopes printed with the words "Dongchang Secret Letter" from his arms, and handed them over.

Yamazaki Ryuya and Wang Yongzhen took it easily, and then took out the letter and looked at it, and after a while, when they raised their heads, the eyes of the two had changed, and that kind of gaze was called moving.

"Don't look at me like that, I've promised you something a long time ago, and it's a little late to have a result now. Xu Ruyi waved his hand at Yamazaki Ryuya and said: "That village is not bad, not far from Hangzhou, surrounded by mountains and rivers and fertile land." Actually, I thought about whether to give them more money or something, but then I thought about it. Ordinary days can last long. ”

Yamazaki Ryuya nodded, and the wine glass in front of him gestured to Xu Ruyi for a short time, and then drank it all without saying anything.

Wang Yongzhen's tone here was a little sad: "So it's really Yongshan who hurt me, and the three of them are together... ”

Although he had already guessed in his heart, when the evidence was in his hands, Wang Yongzhen still found it difficult to accept.

"It is also very clear in the letter, there is no need for our family to lie to you, you can go to Dongchang to see the evidence at any time. The old bustard and the turtle slave, even the thugs who had done it at the beginning were brought. It still depends on what you mean, what do you want to do, say it. The East Factory will fully cooperate. Or... Xu Ruyi looked at Wang Yongzhen with some doubts, and saw that his eyes seemed to be struggling, and couldn't help asking, "What, you hesitated?"

After being silent for a long time, Wang Yongzhen sighed: "Back then, I was bent on revenge and returned to Qingcheng Mountain. But now that time has passed, I have seen a lot, and some things have been seen more thoroughly.

Yes, I always dream of returning to Qingcheng and returning to my master's side. But I can't, it's too costly. ”

"What can be the price?" Xu Ruyi asked knowingly.

"The master has only accepted four of us personal disciples in his life. Something happened to me, and I ruined my reputation, but there were still three of them. If I clear my name, I will inevitably expose the scandal of the three of them. Four personal disciples and three scum, the reputation of my Qingcheng faction in the rivers and lakes is over, and the master's greatest wish is to revitalize Qingcheng, I... Can't be so selfish.

What's more, now I am also the first owner of the world who is personally crowned by the emperor, where is the former free body. ”

"Then you just let go of your three junior brothers?" Yamazaki Ryuya suddenly asked.

"I can't let them go. But until there is no better way, I can only let it go. The wine was sad and sighed again.

Xu Ruyi wanted to talk to him about his relationship with his master Danyangzi, but after thinking about it again, he was afraid that it would make it more difficult for him, so forget it: "I originally thought that I would go out with you this time and go to end the affairs of the Qingcheng faction by the way, but let's forget it when you look like this." It's okay to have you in Beijing and take care of me more often, and I'm more at ease. ”

The promise of this Yamazaki Ryuya and Wang Yongzhen can be regarded as having a result for the time being, and Xu Ruyi turned his attention to Hua Pengfei. Before he could speak, Hua Pengfei preemptively said, "I definitely have to go with you." Yangzhou goes north, not far from Shaolin, and our things happen to be done together. ”

That's what I mean. Xu Ruyi said.

。。。。。。

Xu Ruyi explained here and there, one by one. But he didn't expect that someone had already left the capital before him.

"Red Fairy... ”

"Is Red Immortal your name?!" Shen Hongxian glared, choking Gu Yuezhen, who had been brewing for a long time.

"Shen... Miss Shen... Gu Yuezhen scratched her head and said: "I thought about it carefully last night, this is not good, after all, the master also asked me to recuperate and prepare... ”

"Prepare for martial arts, right? Shen Hongxian cut a sigh and said: "Those who study disdain to take the martial arts exam, and the good hands on the rivers and lakes who can beat you will not be interested in becoming an official." If you can't beat you, don't worry. There is another factory in the East Factory covering you, and the position of Wu Zhuangyuan is simply born for you, what do you have to worry about? The only thing you need to contact is the skill immediately. Coming out and riding a horse is the best preparation. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Hongxian stretched out his hand and pointed at Ouyang, who was riding a horse on his side: "Look at Ouyang, look at you again." At a young age, equestrianism is not as good as our two girls' family. ”

"What do you mean by being old? I guess twenty-one is okay... The black line on Gu Yuezhen's face had turned into substance, and she was about to roar twice with the guts, but suddenly thought of a question: "Red... Miss Shen... ”

"If there's a fart, let it go. ”

"How old are you? We've known each other for a long time, and we've never heard of you. ”

"Me?" Shen Hongxian raised her eyebrows and said playfully: "Don't say it's afraid of scaring you, do you really want to hear it?"

"Think!" Gu Yuezhen nodded like a chicken running through broken rice, and her face was impatient.

"I'm nine out of fifty this year. Shen Hongxian's tone seemed to be very flat.

"No, it can't be. ”

"What's impossible. Shen Hongxian shrugged his shoulders on the horse: "Do you believe it or not." ”[.]
