Ye Yuan kept tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about what the old eunuch had confessed, while Pei Lun stood at the bottom, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
After a long time, Ye Yuan came back to his senses. Then he noticed Pei Lun who was feeling uncomfortable and asked strangely.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
Pei Lun was speechless, but facing his boss, he really had to... endure it.
Pei Lun didn't dare to complain, so he could only ask aggrievedly.
"Lord Governor, what should we do next?"
The old eunuch's confession disrupted everything. Ye Yuan thought for a moment and then ordered.
"Bring someone to keep an eye on that guy. Also, go find Shen Lian and ask him to lead someone to secretly send the old eunuch's younger brother's family out of the Ming Dynasty."
"yes."
Pei Lun breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to do something.
However, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Ye Yuan's words.
"You have done a good job this month. From today on, you will be Pei Baihu."
"Thank you, Lord Governor!"
Pei Lun was almost stunned by this huge surprise. You must know that he had been pushed out from North Town Fusi to South Town Fusi before.
As for Nanzhen Fusi, it was just a place for retirement, and there were no opportunities to make a difference at all.
He originally thought that he would be idle for the rest of his life until he died of old age.
As a result, he was suddenly transferred to the West Factory, and now he has become a member of the 100th household. This is something that his aunt never dared to think about.
At this moment, a sense of belonging arose spontaneously, dispelling his frustration of working for the eunuch.
Pei Lun started working with passion, and he was already sure in his heart that Xichang...had his future.
After Pei Lun left, Ye Yuan shouted.
"Little Yanzi, come out to work."
"coming."
The next moment, Jiang Yuyan walked in from the side with a fake smile on her face. She came to Ye Yuan and asked softly.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Although this little girl might be complaining about something in her heart, Ye Yuan didn't care.
He just likes to see the little girl not being able to stand him and having to give in.
He leaned back on the chair very lazily and gave instructions casually.
"Come here and give me a squeeze on your shoulders."
"oh."
Jiang Yuyan reluctantly walked behind Ye Yuan, probably because she thought Ye Yuan couldn't see him anymore. The fake smile on her face suddenly disappeared and became murderous.
Ye Yuan closed his eyes and enjoyed it. After a long time, he murmured softly.
"You can wait until you go to the arsenal and get a copy of the Wu Beware Law and learn about it."
Is the big devil so good?
Could it be that I misunderstood him before?
Jiang Yuyan was puzzled, but her face changed color and she confirmed with a smile.
"Really, sir?"
At the same time, the strength in her hands became stronger and she was obviously more attentive.
"Really, after learning martial arts, you can press harder and feel more comfortable."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyan's face froze, her smile gradually solidified, and the movements of her hands paused for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and used her greatest strength.
"Phew, feel comfortable, that's it!"
Jiang Yuyan was helpless, completely exhausted, and soon lost her strength.
After all, she is just a little girl who has never practiced martial arts.
Ye Yuan waved his hands and said with a look of disgust.
"Go and learn martial arts hard."
Jiang Yuyan trotted out in an extremely depressed mood, still muttering incessantly.
"Hmph, evil person, big devil, I don't study seriously and don't work hard."
However, she then thought that it was not in her own interest not to learn martial arts, and she quickly cheered herself up.
"No, I want to practice martial arts hard and become even better than the big devil. When the time comes..."
At this moment, in the little girl's little mind, a scene suddenly emerged in her little girl's mind, such as stepping on the big devil under her feet and rubbing her after she had successfully practiced martial arts. Not to mention how comfortable she felt.
Immersed in this joyful longing, she ran so fast that she no longer felt any exhaustion.
Watching the little girl run away happily, Ye Yuan also stood up and said softly.
"It's time to get down to business!"
He walked into the dungeon again and asked the guards on duty to get out. The next scene was not suitable for them to watch.
The next day.
Xichang launched dozens of powerless death row inmates to behead them in public, including the world's largest prostitute, a green forest thief, and Saibei Mingtuo...
Many masters were all controlled by Shixiang Ruanjin Powder, and they were able to verify their integrity in front of everyone and perform Dharma on the spot.
This move greatly enhanced the prestige of Xichang and effectively countered the discussion and opposition from the government and the public about reopening Xichang.
Moreover, this time Ye Yuan led the treasure hunt and brought back a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Among them, Xichang only took 10%, and the rest was handed over to the emperor's inner treasury.
This treasure was converted into about ten million taels of silver, which was equivalent to about ten years of Ming Dynasty taxes.
This money was like a shot in the arm, giving the emperor plenty of confidence.
After all, with this money, he can do a lot of things and gain more real power.
At the same time, the emperor also truly faced the role of Xichang for the first time.
To this end, the emperor specially sent two eunuchs from the palace and ten internal masters trained by the royal family since childhood to enrich the West Factory and better serve the emperor.
In the lobby of the West Factory, Ye Yuan sat at the front seat, with two maids standing behind him.
And downstairs, there were two top-level old eunuchs sitting, and ten first-time top-notch Ouchi guards were standing.
They were sent by the emperor to assist Ye Yuan, well, they also meant to monitor him.
However, Ye Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Xichang was famous now and lacked strong people to control the situation.
Moreover, apart from being good at informing people, these people are very obedient in other aspects and will do whatever they are asked to do.
In short, the advantages of this move outweighed the disadvantages, and Ye Yuan readily accepted it.
These twelve people are not like those martial arts people. In the world, not only the masters are super first-class, but even the first-class ones are mostly unruly.
But, no matter how unruly you are, there is a limit.
After all, everyone has something they care about, so as long as you find the right weakness, you can always conquer it.
"Eunuch Hu, Cangwu Pavilion is the top priority, please keep watch over it!"
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Cangwu Pavilion is the Zangwu Pavilion, the Xichang arsenal. However, there was no one guarding it before, and the secret books inside were only on the first level. Now we can consider putting more complete secret books.
"Eunuch Liu, you are free to walk around the West Factory, you just need to come forward when needed."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Then, Ye Yuan looked at the ten inner guards and arranged work for them.
Either to help Shen Lian send people abroad, or to help Pei Lun keep tabs on them, and the rest were arranged to work in various departments of the West Factory.
Ye Yuan watched the twelve people leave, then leaned back and murmured to himself.
"With them here, the West Factory is finally a lot safer."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl who had just appeared behind him began to ridicule.
"Really? You can't fail to see that the emperor is worried about you and sent them to watch you!"
Ye Yuan was not in the mood to answer her question and said lazily.
"Little Yanzi, answer her question."
Jiang Yuyan saw that the newcomer was uncomfortable, so she immediately defended herself.
"Who can't see it? However, this is not the normal operation of a superior. Moreover, although there is the emperor's spy around, Xichang has really benefited and its strength has greatly increased. Besides, Xichang is destined to have no choice but to Depend on the emperor."
Seeing Jiang Yuyan's disdainful eyes, the new girl became angry and immediately wanted to draw her sword, but when she touched her waist, well, the weapon was confiscated.
At the same time, she also woke up.
She is not in her own country now, and not only has she become a prisoner, but her father is still in the Xichang dungeon.
She lowered her head in despair and remained silent.
Ye Yuan nodded and ordered.
"Little Yanzi came over and beat my legs, and Piaoxu squeezed my shoulders."
