East Factory.
A handsome young man wearing a red python robe, holding a double-ended spear, was practicing martial arts in the school field.
This person is the stall owner of Dongchang, Zhao Jingzhong!
At this moment, a woman wearing a tight-fitting black robe walked over quickly and said solemnly: "Senior brother!"
Zhao Jingzhong stopped practicing martial arts, put away his spear, wiped the sweat from his head, glanced at the woman, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
Wei Ting said calmly: "I just received the news that Wan Yulou is dead!"
Uh-huh!
Zhao Jingzhong suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "What did you say?!"
"Wanyu Tower, dead!"
Wei Ting repeated.
Zhao Jingzhong's eyes suddenly sparkled with light. He clenched the spear in his hand tightly and said word by word: "Our opportunity is here!"
He did not ask how Wan Yulou died.
But as long as Wan Yulou dies, he will never give up this opportunity to seize power!
He is Wei Zhongxian's adopted son. After Wei Zhongxian fell, he did a lot to drive Wei Zhongxian away.
Originally, he thought that as long as Wei Zhongxian left the Ming Dynasty, he would be the new governor of Dongchang.
Unexpectedly, a Wanyu Tower came.
Wan Yulou had served the emperor since he was a child and was deeply favored by the saint. There was nothing he could do about it, not to mention that he was not Wan Yulou's opponent, so he could only temporarily suppress his ambition.
But now that Wan Yulou is dead, his chance has come!
No matter who wants to compete with him for the position of governor of the East Factory, he will die!
Zhao Jingzhong looked at Wei Ting with cold eyes and said: "Let our people prepare and take action tonight to find Li Zhong's location and kill him!"
Li Zhong is the deputy governor of Dongchang. After Wan Yulou's death, he is the most likely to ascend to the position of governor.
But how could Zhao Jingzhong take this person seriously who only became deputy governor by trying to please Wan Yulou? !
Wei Ting did not move and continued: "One more thing. Wan Yulou was killed by a swordsman named Zhao Huaian. Zhao Huaian sneaked into the capital these days and killed many people in Dongchang. Last night he went to Dajue Temple, trying to assassinate Li Zhong, but failed."
"Zhao Huaian?"
Zhao Jingzhong frowned, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder so many people have died in the past few days, and Li Zhong has not moved. He probably wanted to conceal the death of Wan Yulou."
After saying that, Zhao Jingzhong looked at Wei Ting and asked, "What's the result?"
"Li Zhong is not dead, but Zhao Huaian was killed by Yu Huatian, the director of Xichang!"
Wei Ting said in a deep voice.
"Yuhuatian?"
Zhao Jingzhong's expression changed slightly, "How come people from the West Factory are involved in this matter?!"
Wei Ting shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation. Anzi only saw the people from Xichang surrounding Dajue Temple. The swordsman Zhao Huaian died in the hands of Yuhuatian. Then the people from Xichang withdrew. Li Zhong I also returned to Dongchang last night."
Zhao Jingzhong frowned, "Since Yu Huatian took action, he must also know about Wan Yulou's death. But instead of taking the opportunity to suppress Dongchang, he went to encircle and suppress Wan Yulou's assassin and saved Li Zhong? He? What exactly do you want to do?”
Wei Ting didn't speak, and she didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Jingzhong's expression suddenly changed, and there was a trace of deep worry in his eyes.
He was also very afraid of Yu Huatian, the director of the West Factory, who had left the East Factory, but in just half a year, developed the West Factory to a level that could 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 Xichang's movements. As long as Yuhuatian no longer interferes in this matter, ignore him. The most important thing now is to kill Li Zhong. In addition to Get rid of this biggest threat, and then find a way to manage the relationship and control the East Factory in our hands!"
Wei Ting reminded: "Although Wan Yulou is dead, the masters under him are still there. We have indeed attracted many people over the years, but Wan Yulou keeps a close eye on us. With our current manpower, we are afraid that we will not be able to Completely eliminate the remnants of Wanyu Tower!"
Zhao Jingzhong also frowned slightly.
After pondering for a moment, his eyes moved slightly and said: "Then invite the Jin Yiwei!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Ting and said: "Lu Wenzhao, the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards, has several powerful masters under him. Tell them, as long as they kill Li Zhong for me, I will give them whatever they want!"
Jinyiwei?
Wei Ting pondered for a moment, then nodded, turned and left without saying a word.
Zhao Jingzhong stood there, clenching the spear in his hand, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Father, I have finally waited for this day..."
…
On the other side of the East Factory.
A eunuch in his forties, wearing a white python robe, was sitting in the mansion drinking tea with an indifferent look on his face.
His name is Liu Xi, the second stall owner of Dongchang.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"
"Something big happened!"
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in and said excitedly: "Someone just received news that Eunuch Wan was killed by a swordsman named Zhao Huaian!"
"Um?"
Liu Xi's expression changed slightly, and then he stood up suddenly, looked at the little eunuch, and asked: "Is the news true?!"
The little eunuch said excitedly: "The Longjiang Navy inspected, and Eunuch Wan was beheaded by the swordsman Zhao Huaian. There were countless witnesses to this incident, and the news came from the Navy!"
Liu Xi was immediately overjoyed and laughed: "Hahaha! Okay! Great!"
"Once Wan Yulou dies, who can compete with our family for the position of governor?"
"Based on that loser Li Zhong, is he worthy?!"
The young eunuch whispered: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid the stall owner Zhao Jingzhong has also received the news, and he may also take action."
Liu Xi said disdainfully: "Zhao Jingzhong just relied on the reputation of Wei Zhongxian's adopted son to win over a group of Wei Zhongxian's remnants. With his little strength, he also wants to compete with me for the position of governor?"
"If he dares to take action, I will let him have a taste of the Dafa of absorbing power!"
"Call men immediately!"
Liu Xi looked at the young eunuch and ordered: "Without further delay, we will start taking action tonight!"
"Yes, father-in-law!"
The little eunuch took the order and left.
Liu Xi walked to the door, looked at the sunset on the horizon, with infinite domineering in his eyes, and coldly snorted: "This time, I will definitely win!"
…
Under the same sky, inside the imperial city.
In the lush green imperial garden, there are many pavilions and terraces. In the long circular corridor, several palace ladies in colorful clothes, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, are surrounding a beautiful woman in green clothes.
The beautiful woman has a graceful figure, red lips, apricot eyes, and picturesque eyebrows. She holds an expensive Shih Tzu dog in her arms, and her hairy head arches up and down on the tall tower, which makes the beautiful woman burst into tears.
At this moment, the Shih Tzu's nose twitched, as if it smelled a familiar smell, and immediately began to struggle, trying to leave the embrace that countless men dreamed of.
The beautiful woman couldn't hold it, so she had no choice but to put it on the ground. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Shih Tzu landed on the ground, it ran forward and did not look back no matter how much the beautiful woman barked.
"Empress."
At this time, a palace maid walked up quickly and saluted, saying, "Eunuch Yu from Xichang has been waiting for you at Cining Palace for a long time."
When the beautiful woman heard this, her apricot eyes lit up, she looked at the Shih Tzu in front of her without looking back, and hummed, "No wonder this dog is so dishonest, his nose is really smart."
As she said this, the beautiful woman quickened her pace and followed the direction of the Shih Tzu dog towards Cining Palace.
Cining Palace.
Yuhuatian wore a silver-white python robe and sat calmly on the guest seat, waiting quietly.
In his memory, he has been here many times, and he also knows the character of the owner of this palace, so he does not feel restrained. He holds a cup of tea in his hand, and the lid of the cup is gently moved on the tea.
"Woof woof..."
At this time, there was a sudden barking outside, and a small Shih Tzu ran in. Although it was small, it was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it ran to Yuhuatian's feet, wagging its tail and talking. Yu Huatian sniffed at his feet, his bright eyes full of fawning look.
Yuhuatian smiled, put down the tea cup, and picked up the Shih Tzu. A burst of fragrance suddenly spread to Yuhuatian's nose.
Without thinking, he knew who was coming.
Sure enough, after a while, following the sound of footsteps, the beautiful woman's delicate voice rang out from outside the palace: "My beloved Pistachio, come here quickly..."
The corners of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether the coquettish hoof was calling him, or whether it was the precious species from the Western Regions in his arms.
Passing the Shih Tzu dog to the palace maid next to him, Yu Huatian stood up and greeted the beautiful woman who entered the door. He bowed his hands and said, "I have seen the queen."
Concubine Wan Gui glared with an angry look, her whole body almost pressed against Yu Huatian's body, "We haven't seen each other for just a few days and we are already estranged?"
Yu Huatian had no choice but to wave his hand, and the maids withdrew very wisely, and even closed the door thoughtfully.
Yuhuatian cursed secretly in his heart, and it took him a long time to suppress the fire in his heart.
The beautiful woman gave him an angry look and said, "What? I can't call you into the palace if nothing happens?"
"Your Majesty's words are serious. As long as your Majesty orders me, no matter how busy I am, I will always be at your call and enter the palace to please your Majesty."
The beautiful woman snorted and said angrily: "You have some conscience."
"I heard that you went to make trouble with the people in Dongchang again?"
When Yu Huatian heard this, he paused slightly, and then continued working as if nothing had happened, but a cold look flashed in his eyes.
What happened just last night was spread to the palace so quickly?
really interesting……
Concubine Wan Gui glanced at him and seemed to understand his dissatisfaction. She snorted softly and said: "I sent you to Xichang to take charge of the power in the palace. I asked you to guard against the palace maids and carry the emperor to my embroidery bed. Yeah, why do you need to get involved in Dongchang’s affairs?”
"This Dongchang is not easy to mess with. Even the emperor is quite afraid of it. I am worried that you will be harmed, so I want people to pay attention to what is going on outside the palace!"
Yu Huatian smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, how could I live up to your trust?"
"Please don't worry, Madam. Among the maids in this palace, as long as the emperor takes one more look at them, they will definitely not survive the next day."
"As long as I am still here, I will never allow anyone to threaten my position."
Concubine Wan Gui sat up halfway, stroking Yu Huatian's face with her hands, her eyes full of fascination, "I am naturally at ease with you. It would be great if you were not a eunuch. I would rather not be in this deep palace. As a noble concubine, I am also willing to stay and fly with you..."
The words of the actor cannot be taken seriously, so why not the words of the imperial concubine?
If I really want you to give up the glory and wealth you have now and follow me to travel around the world, I'm afraid you will turn around and kill me!
Yu Huatian said lightly: "It's a pity that we fall in love deeply when we meet each other. I wish we had met sooner. If I could have met your empress earlier, I wouldn't have joined the palace as a eunuch."
"Love is deep when we meet each other, and we wish we had met sooner... That's so well said!"
Concubine Wan Gui sighed resentfully, her eyes full of loneliness, and then continued: "Your Majesty's body is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how long I can last."
"The imperial doctor said that your majesty should be active more. In a few days, your majesty will leave the palace to visit the Daming Lake to relax..."
"The emperor is leaving the palace?"
Yuhuatian frowned.
"yes!"
Concubine Wan Gui said bitterly: "I will definitely go with you when the time comes. I won't be able to see you for a long time, and you don't care about me at all."
Yu Huatian said calmly: "How can I not care about the empress? But I am the governor of the West Factory after all. I am responsible for the safety of the imperial city and must not leave my post without permission."
"I don't know whether sending you to Xichang is a good thing or a bad thing." Concubine Wan Gui was a little dissatisfied.
"I don't care, you have to come to the palace to accompany me these days anyway!"
Yuhuatian's mind has already drifted away.
Your Majesty is leaving the palace, which is not a bad thing.
We can just take this opportunity to completely capture Dongchang and Jinyiwei and take control of the court!
