Cao Zhengchun saw the malicious look in Zhu Bujue's eyes and knew that his trip to Azure Dragon Village would definitely be sabotaged by Zhu Bujue.
However, Cao Zhengchun was not afraid of anything. He was the supervisor of the East Chamber. Was he afraid that the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa would cause trouble?
After he recruited Lin Tian and the others from the Azure Dragon Village, the strength of the East Hall would be much higher than that of the Dragon Protection Mountain Villa. Then, he would take the opportunity to get rid of Zhu Tiedan and the Dragon Protection Mountain Villa.
In this way, the imperial court was completely under the control of the East Chamber.
......
That was the plan, but if he wanted to carry it out, the most important thing was to successfully recruit Azure Dragon Village.
After Cao Zhengchun returned to the East Chamber, he prepared a thick gift according to the Emperor's orders. He even took out his own pocket and gathered a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Mountain bandits loved money. As long as they were given enough money, they would obediently accept the offer.
It was only a short two-day journey from the capital to the Azure Dragon Village, but Cao Zhengchun would not arrive so quickly. Instead, he walked and stopped along the way. He even wantonly proclaimed the emperor's great kindness and expressed that the imperial court was very sincere in recruiting the Azure Dragon Village.
The commoners along the way naturally heard it clearly, but they did not care. The commoners of the Ming Dynasty were a group of people who loved to watch the show. Compared to the bandits of the Azure Dragon Village, they hated the old eunuch Cao Zhengchun more.
Therefore, Cao Zhengchun's action did not gain the support of the people. Instead, it attracted boos.
Half a month later, Cao Zhengchun arrived at the foot of the mountain of Azure Dragon Village. Due to the previous publicity, Lin Tian had long known the purpose of Cao Zhengchun's visit. He immediately got someone to detain the items for amnesty.
As for Cao Zhengchun and his subordinates, Lin Tian only allowed Cao Zhengchun to come up the mountain. The rest of them could only scram.
"Greetings, Chief Lin." Cao Zhengchun was sent to the Zhongyi Hall of the Azure Dragon Village. He found that Lin Tian was the only one sitting in the hall, so he greeted him with a smile.
"Hey, isn't this Eunuch Cao from the East Hall? We haven't seen each other for half a year.”Lin Tian took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Exactly. Last time, I wanted to keep you in the East Hall as a eunuch, but I didn't expect you to have such great ambition and create such a big family business."
The reason why Cao Zhengchun was able to become the supervisor of the East Hall was because he was really capable. On the other hand, he was very good at flattering people. Lin Tian enjoyed the favor he gave Lin Tian this time.
"Eunuch Cao, do you still want me to be a eunuch in the East Chamber?”Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Cao Zhengchun's gaze was a little evasive. He did not dare to meet Lin Tian's gaze. He lowered his head and cupped his hands,"This time, I came to Azure Dragon Village under the decree of His Majesty. I came to recruit all the brothers of Azure Dragon Village. As long as Chief Lin is willing to submit to the Imperial Court, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth.”
Lin Tian glanced at Cao Zhengchun and chuckled,"Eunuch Cao, you're here for amnesty. Why did you come empty-handed? Aren't you being too insincere?"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes were filled with panic as he hurriedly shouted,""Chief Lin, I did bring a generous gift, and two hundred thousand taels of silver. However, it was snatched away by the brothers of the Azure Dragon Village at the foot of the mountain.”
Lin Tian sneered. Cao Zhengchun being snatched away was naturally very satisfying, but those people in the village really did not know what was good for them. Fortunately, Cao Zhengchun was here to recruit them. If it was any other time, Cao Zhengchun would definitely start a massacre.
This old eunuch had fifty years of Tiangang Boy Technique and was extremely skilled.
Seeing that Lin Tian was silent, Cao Zhengchun walked forward and asked in a low voice,"Chief Lin, do you think this…How about amnesty?"
Lin Tian did not answer directly. He just smiled and said,"Eunuch Cao, there was indeed a small grudge between us in the past, but I, Lin Tian, am a man who forgives villains. I have long forgotten about it…As for the matter of recruiting him, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens for me to agree, but it would also be extremely easy.”
si
Cao Zhengchun sighed. He was an experienced person. When he heard Lin Tian's words, he knew that there was a hidden meaning in his words.
"Chief Lin, what do you mean?”Cao Zhengchun hurriedly asked.
