Why is the lion talking so loudly at this time?
It's enough to keep them alive, so what else do you need a bicycle?
Yelu Chenghui was very angry.
"Let them think about their situation! When the emperor comes back to question the Shandong people, can they escape? Isn't what they want at this time a chance to survive?"
"You mean...promise to let them live?"
Yelujin whispered: "This is not easy. There are no people from us in the Third Judicial Department. It is difficult for us to say such things."
"Let's talk about it first. They don't know our details, so what if they lied? As long as we get through this, anything can be solved."
Yelu Chenghui waved his hand: "Get these things done as soon as possible. We must not be dragged along by the Shandong people and buried with them!"
"I see."
Yelujin nodded, turned around and left Yelu Chenghui's mansion, leaving behind a furious Yelu Chenghui.
Yelu Chenghui walked back and forth in the room several times, gradually calming down, and then immediately sent someone to secretly call Yelu Yuanyi. The two discussed for a while and decided to wipe their butt clean before the emperor came back.
On the other side, after Yelu Jin left Yelu Chenghui's mansion, he did not go back to his own mansion to take care of business. Instead, he turned around and came to a very remote alley in the southeast corner of Zhongdu City.
After walking for a while, he stopped in front of a dark door. He stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand and knocked twice, paused, knocked three more times, paused again, and knocked once.
The dark and heavy door opened a crack, and a deep voice sounded.
"What should I do if it gets dark?"
"The sun will rise tomorrow as usual."
The crack in the door slowly opened, Yelujin squeezed in like a loach, and then the door closed.
The man in black behind the door walked forward quickly with Yelujin who squeezed in.
"The commander has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I know, I'm going to do something too."
"good."
Yelujin followed the man in black on a winding path with vegetation on both sides. At the end of the path were two dilapidated houses with half-open doors and no paper windows.
They entered the room on the left. The man in black stood at the door and wiped the edge of the door. There was a dull sound, and the man in black nodded towards Yelujin.
"Go ahead."
"good."
Yelujin nodded, walked straight forward, walked to a large old water tank, took off the old lid, climbed into the water tank, and then disappeared as if he had sunk into it.
The man in black stepped forward, put everything back in place, and returned to his post.
After entering the large water tank, Yelvxian climbed down the ladder in the water tank and reached the bottom in a short while.
There was a well hole at the bottom. It was originally dark. The moment Yelujin went down to the bottom, the fire lit up. When Yelujin turned around, he saw two men in black standing here.
"The commander has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I see."
Yelujin followed the two of them and walked quickly inside, passing through a cave-like path, seeing light at the end of the road, and then entered a large underground office.
The fourth office area of the Tianwang Junzhongdu headquarters was a place where he and Su Yin could easily meet.
There are nine office areas like this in the Skynet Army, and there are eight office areas in the entire Central Military Commission. Each has its own focus and responsibility. Some are responsible for connecting with other action groups outside, and some are civilian departments of the headquarters.
There are a lot of people here, and there are some Skynet Army spies in black clothes and serious faces coming and going. Yelujin is already very familiar with them, and this is not his first time here.
Passing through the crowded office area, there was a small wooden house directly opposite the office area. Su Yin met him here every time.
"I'm late?"
"Yelu Chenghui asked me to talk about some more things, which delayed some time."
"Have you told him everything?"
"Well, I told him everything."
"How did he say?"
"He asked me to send all the information I collected to His Majesty at once, take the first step to become invincible, and then try to bribe those who work for Kong Zheng as much as possible at the cost of keeping them alive."
Su Yin raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
"There are people from them in the Third Judicial Department? Otherwise, how could he dare to say this?"
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be. Yelu Chenghui said it himself. It's just bluffing. He needs to get through this first. What to do afterwards is his initiative. It doesn't matter if he breaks his promise. It's the most difficult thing anyway. That time has passed."
"Do you think he is telling the truth or a lie?"
Yelujin thought for a while.
"Based on what I know about him, I think he is telling the truth. I don't think they have the ability to place their own people in the Third Judicial Department. The Third Judicial Department is full of people assigned by His Majesty. They have great responsibilities and a bright future. There is no reason. Abandoning His Majesty and taking refuge with them, if they want to put someone inside, it will definitely not be an easy matter, and it will be difficult not to be exposed."
"I think so...but let's check it out. You can't pretend you didn't hear something like this. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be our fault, and we are fully responsible."
Su Yin wrote an investigation order, intending to secretly examine the personnel of the Third Judicial Department who were born in Yanyun or foreign nationalities to see if there were any clues of cheating.
"That's what you said."
Yelujin expressed his support: "Then what should be done next? Just ask, I will do my best to complete it."
Su Yin was very satisfied with Yelujin's performance, so he smiled.
"No need to do it. Everything that needs to be done has been done. Just watch. You don't need to try to bribe the people over there. Just let them find the evidence and then hand it over to His Majesty openly. In this way, Your Majesty will have the right to be in Zhongdu." An excuse to do things, that’s important.”
"You are more thoughtful."
Yelujin flattered him, neither lightly nor seriously.
"You are getting better and better at flattering me."
Su Yin looked at Yelujin and said with a smile: "Watching them fighting among themselves from such a standpoint, doesn't it feel a little different?"
"Speaking of it this way, it does have a different feeling."
Yelujin also smiled and said: "This is mainly because of your majesty's cultivation. Without your majesty's cultivation, where would I be today? Without your majesty's cultivation, I might have resigned and gone home, and ended up depressed at home. "
To Yelujin, these words were definitely not a casual flattery.
This is the truth.
As a foreign minister, he was able to remain invincible and look at issues from the perspective of the Yuan Cong family, mainly due to Su Yonglin's promotion and cultivation of him.
Without Su Yonglin's cultivation, what would he do?
Including the fact that Su Yonglin supported him in causing trouble in the Ministry of Etiquette, and mobilized the team of the Examination Department to fight against the forces of Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang. Without Su Yonglin's help, it would have been impossible to even think about it.
But speaking of it, Yelujin felt that if he hadn't had the collapse and weakness that time, he probably wouldn't be in the same situation now.
Because he was assigned as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, he originally wanted to do something great to gain recognition from the new dynasty. However, he found that he was unable to move within the Ministry of Rites and could not do anything he wanted to do.
Not to mention Zhou Jiang, an official at the same level, and Kong Zheng, his superior, even a small official below him could look down on him.
He wanted to mobilize subordinate officials to do something, but no one paid attention to him for a long time.
In the Ministry of Rites, which had just been established and was filled with Shandong officials, he encountered astonishing isolation and exclusion.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, as a Khitan and an old official of the Jin Kingdom, he had little confidence to join the Ming Dynasty. Especially when he joined the Ministry of Rites, a department full of Han officials, one can imagine the difficulties he faced.
