Chapter 833: Intercepted halfway, the sheep ran into the tiger's mouth!
Two great masters, eight masters.
Yang Fan confidently and confidently took his newly joined subordinates to the Dongchang Yamen, and then arranged for Yan Lei to go through the necessary procedures for them.
"When I am promoted to a criminal officer, my men will be strong..."
Just as he was feeling proud, Sun Rong came over to deliver the order, saying that Tao Ying had asked him to come over.
"Father-in-law, are you so anxious to call me?"
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.
Sun Rong said: "Yes, I seem to have something to do with you."
Yang Fan did not dare to neglect, and went to meet Tao Ying with doubts.
In the main hall.
"See father-in-law."
When Yang Fan came in, he saw Tao Ying sitting in the main seat, reading a file and drinking tea.
Tao Ying looked up and saw Yang Fan. A bright smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Fanzi, we congratulate you on getting rich."
When Yang Fan heard this, his heart trembled.
Could it be that his money-making at Donglin Academy was discovered?
But when faced with Tao Ying's inquiry, he could only say vaguely: "How do you get rich? Father-in-law, I'm so humble that I'm so poor that I'm almost begging for food."
Tao Ying put down the file in her hand: "You still want to hide it from our family? Let me tell you, our family knew it immediately. Tell me honestly, how many people did you recruit at the school ground?"
Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this.
"Not many, just two grandmasters and eight grandmasters. I'm just taking this humble position because I want to be promoted to a criminal officer in the future. I have to have a few good hands under me, right?"
"Look at what you can do! You are still a deacon now, and you want to raise two great masters and eight grand masters under your command. Then won't our family have to raise ten or eight Tianguan?"
"It should, it should. With your qualifications, father-in-law, you won't be able to raise dozens more..."
Yang Fan echoed hypocritically.
Tao Ying directly interrupted Yang Fan and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I will leave you a grandmaster, and the rest will be sent to our family."
“Father-in-law, the wounds on the newly recruited people from the humble position haven’t even healed yet. You’re leaving right now…”
Yang Fan had a pained expression on his face.
He had spent so much time and effort arranging to select these talents, and then they were suddenly asked to leave, leaving only one grandmaster. What a waste of time?
"You don't want to? That's fine! However, the martial arts examination is a major event for selecting officials for the imperial court. If you do this, many people have come to our house."
Tao Ying glanced at him and her expression became formal, "They accused you of robbing civilian men with the intention of sabotaging the martial arts..."
What a big hat!
The key is to sue him for robbing civilian men!
Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a black line appear on his forehead, but he knew in his heart that it would be impossible if he didn't give it.
So, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "Ahem, it's not that I don't want to be humble, I'm just worried that these people are unruly and will inevitably conflict with my father-in-law in their words and deeds! So I thought of training them first and then sending them to my father-in-law...
…”
"It doesn't matter, just send it here. We have our own ideas about training."
Tao Ying waved her hand and said confidently.
Even the original Jin Bodhisattva Zhang Chongxin was trained by him to behave well during his imprisonment, let alone a group of ordinary great masters and masters?
Yang Fan also said simply: "When I get back from my humble job, I will send the person to my father-in-law."
We can't keep people anymore, so it's better to be happy.
It seems that Mr. Yang is not suitable for training his subordinates. If he has the time, he might as well raise some monks for fun!
"Um."
Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction.
But I was thinking in my mind that the martial arts exam looked really good.
It just gave him an opportunity to recruit some new people, unlike the current War Department, where the interests were so serious that he felt uneasy about using them.
In comparison, the warriors who came to participate in the martial arts competition were more innocent and reliable.
Even if he has a lot of evil deeds, who can be more evil than Dongchang?
It is not easy to tame them.
However, after all, he was taking something from the hands of his subordinates, and it looked a bit ugly, so he had to give him some compensation.
Tao Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Fanzi, how is your Qi and Blood cultivation going?"
Yang Fan's heart moved. Could it be that the other party planned to give him some resources?
He immediately said: "There are 180 secret maps of Qi and blood in the factory. I am already practicing it, but the progress is a little slow..."
Just say that he is short of resources!
But the facts proved that he thought too much.
Tao Ying himself doesn’t have enough, how can he give it to him?
Tao Ying's face straightened up and he said, "Never give up on Qi and Blood cultivation. Last time, our family gave you a bone refining method, and this time it will be completed for you."
As he spoke, he took out a command arrow.
"Our family will personally keep an eye on the martial arts examination. You can hold our warrant and go to the Demon Suppression Cave for a period of time in the next few days!"
This is both compensation and reward.
Tao Ying has always understood this.
Anyway, it was the factory's resources, so he didn't feel bad about spending them. Not only could he calm down his subordinates' emotions, but it could also enhance their strength. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
What's more, the abolition of the Queen was getting closer, and Tao Ying's move also meant to prevent Yang Fan from being noticed by the Wang family.
Suppress the monster cave!
As soon as these three words came out, Yang Fan's eyes lit up!
The gifts from this group of people were well worth it, and the blood of all spirits that he had been thinking about was finally found!
So, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Thank you so much, father-in-law!"
"Go for it!"
Tao Ying waved her hand and sent Yang Fan away.
After Yang Fan returned, he directly ordered Yan Lei to pack up the people. Two grand masters and eight grand masters, not a single one was left, and they were all sent to Tao Ying.
"Sir, are you all going to send them away?"
Yan Lei was shocked.
"Do as I tell you."
"Yes, sir."
Yan Lei went to see him off, while Yang Fan took out the command arrow Tao Ying gave him.
This arrow was the size of a palm, and its entire body was dark purple, crystal clear and silky. However, Yang Fan used his magical power to reflect it and discovered that it was a piece of bone.
The real bones of the demon!
Although I don't know what kind of demon it is from, the demonic intention inside is condensed, and I can vaguely see a vague shadow roaring.
"It feels really silky smooth... However, if you go to the Demon Suppressing Cave, you still have to be well prepared."
Yang Fan stroked the arrow twice, then put it into his arms and went straight out of the Dongchang Yamen.
He leaves here.
The news that Tao Ying had two more Grand Masters and eight more Grand Masters spread like wildfire.
Not only the people inside the East Factory, but also the West Factory knew about it.
Xichang has always been suppressed by Dongchang, and he has been holding his breath in his heart. After all, we are all eunuchs, why are you taller than me?
Seeing that Dongchang's strength has been increasing recently, they were naturally a little anxious and immediately inquired about the source of those manpower.
"It's actually a martial arts exercise!"
When he learned that it was a martial arts competition, Xichang was immediately moved.
Your east factory needs talents, and our west factory needs them too!
For a time, the warriors participating in the martial arts competition immediately became very popular.
The winners will return to the imperial court, and everyone who is eliminated will get a point. Shouldn't that be a problem?
So, during the second selection period on the second day, a group of old eunuchs appeared in the stands of the school ground.
Each one stared at the many candidates on the stage with piercing eyes.
Because he didn't see Yang Fan, the martial arts examinee who finally breathed a sigh of relief turned dark: "It's so damn stressful!"
