After closing the courtyard door, Qin Si was a little nervous.
The power of the two factories in the east and west is even greater than that of Jinyiwei and the six-door factory. Even in the past four hundred years, there were many times when the governor of the east factory was in charge of Jinyiwei.

Therefore, whether in the court or in the world, the reputations of the East and West factories are extremely bad.
She didn't believe a word of what the eunuch said: "He came here because of the severe drought in Deyang."
At this time, midsummer is about to pass, and autumn is coming again.
It has been four years since the Deyang drought occurred, but it was less than a year since Yang Yu killed Nie Wendong. With the cumbersome procedures of the court, how could the court respond so quickly?
"Whether it's the severe drought in Deyang Mansion or the seizure of the heir by Prince Longyuan, these are major events that shock the world. Naturally, the imperial court cannot fail to react."
Yang Prison is very calm.
The eunuchs from Dongchang came to investigate the severe drought in Deyang Mansion, which made him a little surprised, but he was very sure that the 'imperial envoy' would come.
The relationship between the kings of the Ming Dynasty and the central government was different from what he knew in his previous life. The kings defended the imperial court, but they also had great autonomy, and it felt like a country within a country...
Xu Wenji wrote a letter to govern the ten directions of the country, and it was not without reason that he cut down the kings with his first sword.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that weakening the power of the kings will not work.
Without him, the territory of Ming Dynasty would be too large.
Longyuan Road is located on the border, but it is not the farthest among all the roads from the center. The Dongyue Road, which is the farthest, would take more than three or four years to go back and forth to Kyoto, even with the best birds.
If you ride a dragon horse, it is not impossible that the round trip will take seven or eight years.
Because the territory was too huge, the kings of the Ming Dynasty had the right to control their armies and intervene in taxation. Otherwise, they would not be able to garrison the borders.
But because of this, the imperial court became more and more wary of the kings. If the imperial court did not respond to such a major event as Long Yuandao's seizure of the legitimate son, I am afraid that everyone in the world would think that the country was about to perish.
only……
"A troubled time."
Qin Si was worried: "Brother Yang, you must be careful."
Gently patting the tender little hand holding his own, Yang Yu smiled:
"Don't worry."
Even if Xu Wenji didn't leave a letter for someone coming from the imperial court, he still had expectations in his heart.
In fact, he has been holding back. Firstly, he wants to push his martial arts to the point of no further progress, and secondly, he is waiting for someone from the imperial court to come.
Today's Long Yuan Dao is a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the waves are treacherous. Without external force, even with the connections and backup left by Xu Wenji, it is extremely difficult to break the situation.
Although the reputation of the Dongchang is poor, its strength surpasses other violent organizations of the Ming Dynasty except the Xichang.
The castrated eunuchs not only have many masters, but their lifespans are much longer than those of warriors of the same level. There are quite a few masters from the East and West factories.
The two of them held hands, whispering worries at one time and comforting with a smile on the other, until Liu Sanxiang felt uncomfortable all over. At this moment, he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Go back and tell your boss Tie that the birds I gave him a few days ago can be released."
After hearing the order, Liu Sanxiang's heart was slightly shaken. He had intended to say something, but at this time he could only nod:
"yes!"
…
…
Yuelai Building, which used to be crowded with people in the past, became deserted today. At noon, not many people came. On the contrary, in the streets and alleys outside, many people stopped to watch and talk about it.
In the restaurant, the shopkeeper and all the waiters were a little nervous, and several chefs who were full of smoke were also kicked out of the kitchen.
The little pointed hat scolded him with his hands behind his back:
"I thought you would be able to open a restaurant in Zhoucheng and have some skills, but who would have thought that you only have this little skill? Take a closer look at our chefs in the East Factory and see what delicacies are in the world."
"Yes Yes."
All the people could only nod and bow, feeling sour in their hearts and covered in cold sweat.
If the reputation of Jinyiwei can stop a child from crying at night, the reputation of Dongchang can scare the most daring people into turning pale.
At this moment, listening to the reprimand, several people almost knelt down.
Still the shopkeeper was smart, he handed over a golden ticket and made a capital investment of a hundred taels. The little pointed hat took a look at it and couldn't help but sneer:
"You think my father-in-law is here to blackmail you?"
He knocked down the golden ticket with a 'snap'. Just as he was about to continue scolding him, he suddenly noticed something. When he turned around, his straight back suddenly collapsed in half.
From being unruly to being humble, it only took a blink of an eye, so that no one in Yuelai Tower could react.
"Grandmaster Yang."
Glancing at Hou Gong's pointed hat in front of him, Yang Yu said calmly:
"My father-in-law is so majestic."
Whoosh!
The face of the little pointed hat suddenly turned red, his body bowed a little lower, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead:
"Master Yang, just call me Xiao Guizi..."
Yang Yu moved his palm and the golden ticket fell into his palm. He handed it back to the shopkeeper and then said:
"Lead the way."
"yes."
Xiao Guizi's breathing became rapid and she put her head forward to lead the way.
On the seventh floor of Yuelai Building, there is only one table and only one person standing by the window, overlooking the ancient city. Hearing the unhurried footsteps, he turned around and smiled:
"I have heard about Grandmaster Yang for a long time, and it is really a great blessing for Jia to meet him today."
The slightly feminine voice came from a middle-aged man in white clothes and a high crown, who looked more like a Confucian prince than a eunuch. He was about fifty years old, with fair and crystal-clear complexion and no beard.
"It is rare for Mr. Jia to recognize such a meager reputation."
Yang Yu replied calmly.
He recognized the person in front of him. His name was Jia Xuyang, and he was one of the most powerful eunuchs under Ren Xiaoxiao, the second stall owner of Dongchang.
Although he looks young, he is actually over seventy years old, and it is said that he has already cast hundreds of stories.
However, during the four hundred years of the Ming Dynasty's two factories in the east and west, most of them only studied the two top martial arts of 'Tianwu Zhengang' and 'Yin Yang Grinding' passed down by Zhang Yuanzhu.
As a result, even the successive governors of the East and West factories were not recognized as great masters at all, even if their martial arts skills were above average.
Of course, it is unknown how much of this is due to contempt for eunuchs.
"Grandmaster Yang is too modest. If your title is still too small, who in the world can still deserve it?"
Jia Xuyang smiled slightly, but actually he was a little surprised in his heart.
He was not being polite, Yang Yu's name had caused quite a stir in the capital of the gods, and even conflicts broke out between the Gungun princes in the court because of him.
The fact that he was the leader of a state in Lingchi was simply sensational.
In fact, even with Xu Wenji's letter and Jin Yiwei commanding two big men like Li Baihu to come forward to defend the situation, they could not suppress the anger of the ministers in the court.
It wasn't until King Long Yuan's lineage carried out the 'Taizu Great Edict', which attracted the nod of His Majesty who was obsessed with alchemy and Taoism, that it came to an end.
As a result, not long after, rumors spread that this person had comprehended the 'Invincible Tiangang'...
"The files on the severe drought in Deyang Mansion are all here."
As soon as Yang Yu raised his hand, the files he had compiled earlier fell on the table. Many of them were compiled by Xu Wenji, and many were added by him.
"Nie Wendong, you should be killed!!"
Jia Xuyang flipped through a few pages, his face darkened, as if he was quite frightened and angry:
"As the lord of a state and a high-ranking official in the border area, he dared to commit such a heinous crime because of a Taoist fruit! If the matter is true, our family will report it to Your Majesty, and please punish the nine clans!"
"What makes it true?"
Yang Yu asked.
"Our family firmly believes in Grandmaster Yang's character. It's just that we came under the orders of His Majesty, the Governor, and the Second Stall to thoroughly investigate this matter. We must visit it personally after all."
Jia Xuyang looked serious:
"If this matter is true, then by virtue of his great achievements in killing the 'devil' and saving thousands of people from the fire and water, Grandmaster Yang will surely be in the heart of the emperor and skyrocket to the top."
"so what?"
Hearing this tepid and calm voice, Jia Xuyang's expression finally changed. He glanced at the unmoved Yang Yu and smiled:
"To be honest, Governor Liu has heard about Grandmaster Yang's deeds and yearned for him. He has said before that no matter what, he will invite Grandmaster to join our Dongchang!"
Join Dongchang?
Yang Yu's mouth twitched.
In the months after Xu Wenji exonerated him, he received countless similar invitations, and even received a personal letter from Li Baihu, the god-catcher at Liumen.
But why do you, Dongchang, come to join in the fun?
"So, what my father-in-law means is that if Yang doesn't join Dongchang, all the records in this file will be lost?"
Yang Yu sneered.
"Grandmaster Yang, don't get me wrong!"
Seeing that Yang Yu looked unhappy, Jia Xuyang explained and said sincerely:
"Exactly what the Governor said, our Dongchang is in need of talents like Grandmaster Yang!"
"What the hell are you talking about!"
After the noise and hurried footsteps came from downstairs, Zhang Longfu strode upstairs with anger on his face: "My house..."
"cough!"
Yang Yu coughed like a thunderous sound, shaking the walls and the floor, forcing Zhang Longfu's words back.
The latter's face was filled with grievances, but he did not dare to say anything more.
"It turns out to be the young prince."
Jia Xuyang bowed his hands and his smile faded:
"You came just in time. Before the second gear went to Daocheng, we were assigned to invite you back. Regarding the changes in Longyuan Mansion, His Majesty is very unhappy, and there is a decree for you two to take it together!"
His tone was respectful, but not very polite, and could even be said to be very cold.
Dongchang and Longyuan Prince's Mansion don't have much friendship.
With his status, there is no need to care about a poor young prince.
go back?
Zhang Longfu's heart trembled and he looked at Yang Yu as if asking for help.
"good."
Unexpectedly, Yang Prison actually agreed.
Zhang Longfu, Wang Laodao and others who were blocked downstairs were all stunned, and immediately stopped him in panic.
But the people upstairs don't care what they think.
Zhang Longfu, on the other hand, came to his senses after being startled. Although he was still a little surprised, he could only bite the bullet and believe it.
"Grandmaster Yang is really generous!"
Jia Xuyang was a little surprised. He just said it casually to scare the young prince with a bad attitude.
He had heard about the deeds of the man in front of him who killed three grandmasters in a row in less than a year. He had no intention of snatching away the young prince, but he did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise?
'It turns out that he is also duplicitous. He doesn't agree with his mouth, but in his heart he tacitly agrees to join us?'
