After hearing Song Hongyan's words, Ye Fan finally knew the real reason why Uncle Dong was dismissed.
On the surface, it was to give the Yang family an explanation to appease Hengcheng, but in reality, it was to exchange blood for the eighteen departments within the territory.
As an emperor and a courtier, if you don't move, that's it. If you move, it means you have to be completely clean.
It should be said that Ye Zhendong's ownership was determined during the Jiutang joint trial.
He is a passer-by who has been turned into a public instrument by the Eighteenth Department within the territory.
After thinking about this, Ye Fan gave up the idea of returning to Longdu.
He even lost the idea of calling Uncle Dong.
Ye Fan didn't know how to comfort Ye Zhendong.
Then he sighed: "It seems that I indirectly harmed Uncle Dong."
If he hadn't started the war in Hengcheng, how could the jackals besiege Yang Feicui, and how could Yang Feicui seek help from Ye Tang?
If Ye Tang had not helped Yang Feicui, he would not have dragged the 17th Department into trouble and made Uncle Dong responsible.
"Husband, don't think too much, this is none of your business."
Song Hongyan knew what Ye Fan was thinking and hurriedly stroked Ye Fan's cheek and whispered:
"This labor pain is destined to happen, it just happens sooner or later."
"Even if there was no incident about Jinyue Club last night, there would still be incidents about Yinyue and Tongyue."
"If the Seventeenth Department does one hundred things, even if it does ninety-nine things right, if it does just one thing right, Uncle Dong will be held accountable and step down."
"So there is no need for you to blame yourself or feel guilty."
"And I've asked before. Uncle Dong is in really good shape now and is enjoying himself in Jinzhilin."
Song Hongyan also turned on her mobile phone and showed Ye Fan the video sent by Jin Zhilin.
In the photo, Ye Zhendong is sitting behind the medicine cabinet again, holding a big tea cup and chatting leisurely with others.
There was no high-spiritedness on his face, but he looked more calm and peaceful.
Seeing Uncle Dong like this, Ye Fan felt a little relieved.
It seems that the experience of being disabled for twenty years has made Uncle Dong look down on honor and disgrace in the world.
Then Ye Fan asked: "Uncle Dong has left the General Administration of Territory, who will take over now?"
"Murong Lengchan!"
Song Hongyan exhaled a long breath and stuffed a piece of watermelon into Ye Fan's mouth:
"Longdu sent Murong Lengchan to take over the Ye Tang Eighteenth Department."
"And the 18th bureau within the territory will be renamed Jinyi Pavilion starting from today."
"Jinyi Pavilion is no longer controlled by Master Ye and Madam Ye, and is directly responsible to the top figures in the Longdu pyramid."
"In the next year, 18,000 new people will slowly replace the old people in the 18th Department."
"Your mother has transferred many Chumen and Hengdian disciples to the General Administration of Territory in the past six months, and the basic situation has been stabilized."
"The Ye Tang bloodline of the General Administration of Territory has also been diluted long ago."
"So whether Uncle Dong leaves or he slowly changes his team in the future, the General Administration of Territory will not be under too much pressure."
Song Hongyan told Ye Fan the news she saw so that he could understand.
Ye Fan asked: "Who is this Murong Lengchan?"
"In the past, a nephew of the Murong family in Gusu had extraordinary skills and cruel methods."
Song Hongyan had already anticipated Ye Fan's question and responded without any hesitation:
"When he was a teenager, he fell in love with a woman and got privately engaged. However, his cousin fell in love with her and took her away."
"Murong Lengchan asked the head of the Murong family to make the decision, but the head of the family said that marriage was free, so he turned against the Murong family in a rage."
"He began to want to work hard and use his career to defeat the Murong family."
"But I can't withstand the pressure from the Murong family and the Tang clan. It's been a bumpy road."
"Every store I opened went bankrupt, my business was cheated, and all my investments failed. I went to fight gangsters and beat people to death, and I was hunted down."
"In the end, he went to the border to develop. Eight years later, he returned to Longdu and became an internal guard."
"But after King Murong Lengchan returned, he didn't slap him in the face or take revenge. He just kept a low profile as an internal guard."
"I have been doing this for more than ten years, and there has been no incident at all during this period, and I have not had any dealings with Murong or the Tang Sect."
"It can be said that during the more than ten years he has been working as an internal guard, he has been as calm as boiled water and boring."
"The Murong family and the Tang Sect have probably forgotten the existence of this person."
"So when he came out to take over Jinyi Pavilion this time, he surprised many people."
She added: "Cai Lingzhi said, don't provoke people like this easily, and don't deal with them randomly."
"Murong Lengchan, Murong family."
Ye Fan muttered these two words: "It's a bit interesting."
"I originally didn't have much interest in Ye Tang's Eighteenth Department, but when Uncle Dong was in control, I would get some information out of concern for Uncle Dong."
"Now that Uncle Dong has left the 18th Department and Ye Tang, I don't care about it even more."
"So you don't have to worry about conflicts between me and Murong Lengchan."
"And you also know my temperament. I have never been one to actively cause trouble."
Ye Fan also expressed his attitude to Song Hongyan, lest she worry about getting into trouble because of Uncle Dong.
Song Hongyan smiled sweetly: "Yes, he takes his Yangguan Road, and we take our single-plank bridge."
"That's right."
Ye Fan sighed: "Besides, this Jinyi Pavilion is arm wrestling with the old lady, and my brain is mixed with it?"
When gods fight, Ye Fan hides as far as he can.
Song Hongyan smiled brightly and said, "With your guarantee, I feel at ease."
"By the way, the latest news is that although Murong Lengchan has fully taken over Jinyi Pavilion, he is only the first deputy pavilion master."
She added: "There is a pavilion master above him."
Ye Fan asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"I don't know. It hasn't been announced and I can't find out."
Song Hongyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "I only know that he is a very powerful person, and he is also the person that big shots trust the most."
"So mysterious?"
Ye Fan felt a little curious, and then rubbed his head:
"Forget it, they won't disclose the identity of the pavilion master, and they probably won't let us find out."
"And I feel that this mysterious person is just a name or does not manage daily affairs."
"The person who manages Jinyi Pavilion on the surface is still Murong Lengchan."
"Murong Lengchan..."
Ye Fan smiled and pondered: "After going round and round, I still got involved with the Tang clan or my relatives."
Song Hongyan complained angrily: "Looking at you, it seems you really don't want to have anything to do with people from the Tang Clan?"
"No way, I like the daughter of the Tang clan the most."
Ye Fan laughed loudly, hugged Song Hongyan and kissed her: "Like Miss Tang in my arms!"
Song Hongyan smiled playfully: "And Tang Ruoxue..."
"No matter how much money the Tang family has, I will only love you."
Ye Fan pressed against Song Hongyan's smooth forehead and said softly: "The same goes for the daughter of the Song family."
Song Hongyan's face turned rosy with happiness: "Glib tongue."
Ye Fan asked softly: "By the way, is there any news about Old Tang and Tang Shi'er?"
"No, I still don't see anyone alive or dead, and I guess there are no bones left."
Hearing Ye Fan talk about Tang Pingfan, Song Hongyan's tone became a little more melancholy:
"And now, except for the search team I sent, which is still persisting, the dozens of search teams from Tang Sect and Murong have already stopped."
"The focus of all parties has already shifted to the new master of the Tang Sect. Few people care about Tang Pingfan and Tang Shi'er anymore."
There was a hint of sadness on her face. Although she did not have a deep relationship with Tang Pingfan and his daughter, she still hoped that he would have a final destination.
"Don't worry, Tang Pingfan is a nine-headed bird and will not die so easily."
Ye Fan comforted him: "Maybe one day I will show up to reunite with your father and daughter."
"I think he will know by then that your daughter, who has been abandoned for more than 20 years, is much more reliable than his nephews."
Ye Fan hugged the woman and looked at the sky on the balcony: "Believe me, he will definitely come back."
Song Hongyan rubbed against Ye Fan's chest tenderly: "As long as you are here, I will never be alone."
"Ding--"
At this moment, Ye Fan's phone vibrated.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear to answer, and soon the rich voice of a middle-aged man came:
"Hello, Mr. Ye, I am Han Sizhi. Old Dongwang asked me to ask you for a job..."
