Chu Yi was currently in the study listening to Lin Chong's report about things in the East Factory. He heard Lin Chong say to Chu Yi: "Admiral, what do you think about Senior Brother Lu?"
Chu Yi put down the book in his hand and his eyes fell on the man standing next to Lin Chong.
This man's appearance was extremely good, and he outshone Lin Chong just by standing there. Who else could he be if he wasn't Lu Junyi, who is also known as the Jade Unicorn?
Lu Junyi had fought Huang Guan before, and the two were evenly matched. Later, the strong men from the Imperial City Division came out. It can be said that if Chu Yi had not come forward at the critical moment, Lu Junyi might have been surrounded by the strong men from the Imperial City Division.
Kill.
According to Lu Junyi's character, if he hadn't had such an experience, he might have left the capital long ago.
However, after that experience, Lu Junyi had changed a lot. Especially when he learned from Lin Chong that all the people in the Imperial City Division had been killed by Chu Yi, the stimulation Lu Junyi received was huge.
Quite big.
In Lu Junyi's view, the government is the government, and going against the government is rebellion. As the emperor's minion, the Imperial City Secretary, even if he, the famous Jade Qilin, is targeted by the Imperial City Secretary, he will eventually
I'm afraid it will only end in death.
Even if Chu Yi had taken action to capture the people from the Imperial City Division, in Lu Junyi's view, the two sides could have turned the major issue into a trivial matter at best. However, Lu Junyi got a piece of news from Lin Chong's air.
Those people in the Imperial City Division were actually ordered to be killed by Chu Yi, and Lin Chong and others did it themselves.
Lu Junyi's first reaction was that Chu Yi was crazy. He was a senior member of the Imperial City Division. No matter how bold he was, Lu Junyi would not dare to think about this.
Most of the Imperial City Division was directly slaughtered by Dongchang. If this news reached the emperor, the emperor would not punish Chu Yi severely.
As a result, the news Lu Junyi received from Lin Chong made him feel that everything was so incredible.
The Emperor did not hold Chu Yi accountable, and did not even give Chu Yi a beating. It was as if those people from the Imperial City Division were dead as well.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Junyi was greatly stimulated, so he did not leave in a hurry. Even under Lin Chong's persuasion, Lu Junyi had some thoughts of joining Dongchang.
According to what Lin Chong said, Lu Junyi was obviously implicated this time. Even if the Imperial City Division's vitality was seriously injured because of this incident, the Imperial City Division is the Imperial City Division after all. Even if his vitality was severely injured, it was not what Lu Junyi could do.
Provocative.
If he can't offend Chu Yi, then he can't offend Lu Junyi. As one of the parties involved, if the Imperial City Division wants to deal with him, Lu Junyi asks himself that he is definitely not the Imperial City Division's opponent.
After some persuasion by Lin Chong, Lu Junyi finally nodded and was willing to join Dongchang.
But if you want to join Dongchang, even Lu Junyi must get Chu Yi's consent.
At this time, Lu Junyi looked at Chu Yi, feeling inexplicably nervous, as if he was very concerned about whether he could join Dongchang.
Seeing Chu Yi pondering, Lin Chong hurriedly said: "Admiral, if Senior Brother Lu can join our Dongchang, he will definitely greatly increase the strength of Dongchang. Even if there is another half-step celestial level strong man who invades,
It is not necessary for the Admiral of Labor to personally take action, and besides, Senior Brother Lu has obviously been on the blacklist of the Imperial City Division. In this world, only the Admiral can protect Senior Brother Lu. I also ask the Admiral to allow Senior Brother Lu to join Dongchang.
"
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Lu Junyi who was standing aside and said slowly: "Chu has long heard of Lu's reputation as a member of the Communist Party of China. He has beaten all over Hebei with a stick and is invincible, earning him the reputation of the Jade Unicorn."
Hearing this, Lu Junyi showed a bit of shame on his face and said: "It's just an excessive praise from fellow martial artists. If Lu could really be invincible, he wouldn't have been unable to defeat Huang Guan before."
Gently tapping the table with one hand, Chu Yi looked at Lu Junyi solemnly and said: "Chu asked Yuanwai Lu again, did Yuanwai Lu sincerely join our Dongchang?"
Lin Chong on the side couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Junyi expectantly.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Junyi looked at Lin Chong, then looked at Chu Yi, nodded slowly and said: "Lu sincerely joins Dongchang, please give me permission from the admiral."
Nodding slightly, Chu Yi said: "In that case, I have approved it. From today on, Member Lu will be a member of our East Factory. Well, just sit up from the first stall."
Lu Junyi didn't dislike it. After all, he had talked with Lin Chong in detail, so he knew very well that even Lin Chong and Yang Zhi all started from the same stall in Dongchang.
Moreover, the people at Dongchang Stall are no longer petty officials. They have dozens of people under them. At present, if one is strong enough, it is extremely normal to command hundreds of people.
Chu Yi was able to let him be a stall owner from the beginning, which shows that he values him.
Lu Junyi immediately thanked Chu Yi.
Several people looked at the door of the study room, and saw a panting fan appearing at the door and saluting Chu Yi: "Admiral Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others are asking for an audience together. At this moment.
Right outside the Yamen."
Chu Yi couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this, and said with a smile on his lips: "Oh, these two are rare guests. Since they are here, please come in."
Chu Yi sat there, not even moving. He glanced at Lin Chong and said, "Colonel Lin, please go up to me on behalf of the governor and invite Cai Jing and Gao Qiu to come see me."
At the gate of the yamen, the sedans of Cai Jing and Gao Qiu were parked there. The two stood at the gate of the yamen. Without Chu Yi's order, the gatekeeper would naturally not dare to let anyone in, especially Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.
people.
These people are all well-informed people, and they know very well that the two admirals in front of them are very difficult to deal with, especially when the Imperial City Division attacked the East Factory earlier, and the two sides almost had a direct confrontation.
.
Therefore, none of these fans dared to let people in, and some even had a bad look on their faces, looking at Cai Jing and Gao Qiu warily.
Compared with Cai Jing's self-cultivation, it is obvious that Gao Qiu is slightly inferior. After all, compared with his background, Cai Jing came up from the bottom step by step, while Gao Qiu was just a book boy of Su Shi before, and then he was lucky enough to join.
As one of Zhao Ji's playmates, Gao Qiu became the person he is today.
One is an orthodox scholar with a Jinshi background, and the other is a scholar. You can imagine the cultivation of the two.
Gao Qiu looked impatient and said angrily: "What a good Chu Yi, he treats me so slowly. Prime Minister Cai, he doesn't take us to heart."
Cai Jing just glanced at Gao Qiu indifferently and said without any sign of worry or anger: "Why should Lieutenant Gao be so impatient? Cai believes that Duke Guangyang will never be so rude."
While they were talking, they saw a figure walking over, saluting the two of them and saying, "I'm going to pay my respects to Prime Minister Cai and to Lieutenant Gao in Xia Lin Chong."
After glancing at Lin Chong, Cai Jing nodded slightly. On the contrary, Gao Qiu looked at Lin Chong with disdain and said, "Where is your admiral?"
Lin Chong said slowly: "The Admiral ordered me to come and invite you. If you two want to see my Admiral, please come with Lin."
There was an angry look on Gao Qiu's face, but if someone observed carefully, they might be able to find that no matter how angry or impatient Gao Qiu appeared from beginning to end, his eyes were always extremely calm.
Cai Jing smiled at Lin Chong and said, "In that case, please ask Captain Lin to lead the way."
Lin Chong took a step back and said: "Please!"
Walking into the Yamen, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu looked around and saw what the interior of the Dongchang Yamen was like. Unless they had been here before, they would never have imagined that the interior of the Dongchang Yamen was so crude.
.
Compared to the Imperial City Department, the Dongchang Yamen was really simple and crude. Even Cai Jing couldn't help but be surprised.
Gao Qiu showed a look of disdain and said loudly: "Guangyang County Duke, Mr. Gao and Cai Xiangte are here to visit."
Gao Qiu's voice echoed in the courtyard, and soon a voice was heard saying: "Since you two are here, please come in and talk!"
There was no emotion at all in Chu Yi's voice, which made Gao Qiu pause slightly. He raised his head and looked at Cai Jing, took a deep breath and strode towards the study room with the door open.
Came over.
Cai Jing stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and had a smile on his lips. He looked like a very kind old man, but anyone who knew Cai Jing knew that this attitude was simply Cai Jing's disguise.
If one really believed in Cai Jing's kind appearance, he might even die without knowing how he died.
In the study, Chu Yi was seen sitting there, holding a scroll in his hand and reading with gusto. As if he heard footsteps, Chu Yi raised his head and looked towards the visitor.
While Chu Yi was sizing up Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu was also sizing up Chu Yi. It had been more than a year since the last time they met in the palace.
From Gao Qiu's point of view, Chu Yi has not changed much in the past year or so. Both his appearance and temperament are the same as before.
"Guangyang County Duke's style remains the same, he is really enviable to others!"
Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, who were standing aside, looked motionless at the moment, with their gazes lowered, standing there like two sculptures.
This kind of scene involves Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and Chu Yi. No matter which one of these three people they are, they are not ordinary people.
So Lin Chong and Lu Junyi stood there looking at Chu Yi and Gao Qiu, Cai Jing was arrogant in his words, and their hearts were filled with ups and downs.
Cai Jing's eyes fell on the volume of classics in Chu Yi's hand, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Guangyang County Duke is so elegant, I almost thought I had entered the residence of that great scholar."
To be honest, there is not much else in Chu Yi's study, except for various classics, among which there are many rare and rare books.
As a scholar, Cai Jing, no matter he is a corrupt official or a treacherous villain, his strange emotion towards classics remains unchanged, just like all scholars.
With a slight smile, Chu Yi put down the classics in his hand, and then said to Lin Chong: "Colonel Lin, why don't you prepare some tea for Prime Minister Cai and Captain Gao?"
After saying that, Chu Yi gestured for the two of them to sit down and said, "It's too simple. If there's anything wrong with the hospitality, please forgive me."
As soon as the voice changed, Chu Yi said: "As the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Chu's place is said to be like a devil's cave. The two of you coming today made you laugh. I didn't know that the two of you came this time.
I see Mr. Chu, can you give me any advice?"
Everyone sat down, Cai Jing, stroking his beard, smiled slightly and said: "Guangyang County Duke is really joking. I don't have any ill intentions in coming here this time."
Raising his eyebrows, Chu Yi looked at Cai Jing and Gao Qiu with some confusion and said, "Oh, so why are you two here this time?"
Cai Jing looked serious and said: "Cai really hopes to be a friend of Guangyang County Bus. As the saying goes, one more friend opens a new path. I wonder if Guangyang County Lord would like to recognize Cai as a friend?"
Looking at Cai Jing's kind look, if it were anyone else, facing the kindness unleashed by Cai Jing, he might have been happy and agreed.
However, Chu Yi just glanced at Cai Jing, his eyes fell on Gao Qiu beside him and said, "Why is Captain Gao here?"
Gao Qiu said slowly: "Gao came here to ask for a favor for Gao's son, and also asked the admiral to let my adopted son go."
Chu Yi nodded slightly, looked at Lin Chong and said: "Colonel Lin, tell Captain Gao how Gao Qiang is doing now?"
Lin Chong responded and glanced at Gao Qiu. He seemed a little hesitant, but he still slowly said to Gao Qiu: "I am afraid that I will disappoint the Taiwei. Gao Qiang has already committed suicide in Dongchang Prison out of fear of crime."
…”
Gao Qiu, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but spit out a sip of tea when he heard this, and he coughed violently.
After coughing for a while, Gao Qiu, who finally calmed down, stared at Chu Yi, as if he didn't believe what Chu Yi said.
He heard Gao Qiu say: "Guangyang County Duke is really joking, but the child is innocent. My adopted son can't even kill an ant, how could he commit suicide out of fear of crime? Besides, Qiang'er is
What a mistake I made, to be the labor admiral..."
Chu Yi did not speak, but Lin Chong took a step forward and looked at Gao Qiu and said: "Lieutenant, Master Ling colluded with gangsters and attempted to assassinate the admiral. If the admiral was not unwilling to pursue such crimes, I, Dongchang, would
People may have already gone to the Taiwei's mansion to ask the Taiwei."
"Be bold!"
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Gao Qiu slapped his palm on the table, but his gaze went beyond Lin Chong and stared at Chu Yi who looked calm.
Chu Yi just looked at Gao Qiu indifferently and said: "Chu actually doesn't believe the news that the Taiwei colluded with gangsters to harm the official family, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."
Gao Qiu squinted his eyes and stared at Chu Yi: "That's enough. What do you want to do? Are you really unwilling to let go of my adopted son?"
Until now, Gao Qiu didn't want to believe the result that Gao Qiang was dead, but for some reason Gao Qiu felt inexplicably panicked when he looked at Lin Chong and Chu Yi's calm expressions.
A figure walked in holding a tray. Lin Chong stepped forward and took the tray. Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on the tray.
Lin Chong stretched out his hand and pulled it, and immediately saw the tray exposed, and a head that Gao Qiu was very familiar with appeared in front of Gao Qiu's eyes. Who else could he be if he wasn't Gao Qiang?
"You...how dare you? You are looking down on human life, looking down on human life..."
Even though he didn't have any deep feelings for Gao Qiang, it was still a father-son relationship. In addition, Gao Qiu felt that he had been greatly scorned and insulted. He didn't even think about it. He took a step forward as a reflex and pointed.
Chu Yi cursed loudly.
He saw that Gao Qiu's cultivation was uncontrollably agitated, and a momentum spread from Gao Qiu as the center, and even murderous intent was revealed. Chu Yi was sitting there, not even moving, when he saw Chu Yi
One hand reached out and grabbed the hand Gao Qiu pointed at him.
