On the East Military Yard…
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian was sitting on the high platform, holding an apple in his hand and eating happily.
A few young eunuchs fanned him and massaged his legs and shoulders.
Unlike the leisurely Wei Zhongxian, below him were two thousand off-duty East Chamber foreigners standing with their heads lowered.
Cao Zhengchun ran up from below and stopped in front of Wei Zhongxian. He lowered his head respectfully.
"Eunuch Wei, everyone is here!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded and handed the unfinished apple to the young eunuch behind him.
With a wave of his hand, the few eunuchs who served him immediately retreated respectfully, exuding the domineering aura of a great eunuch…
"I called everyone here today because…there is a traitor among you!”
Wei Zhongxian's loud voice pierced through the entire drill ground and resounded in the ears of the two Eastern Chamberlains.
"I'll give you a chance now. Whoever has done something wrong to the East Hall, come out and I'll spare his life!”
After Wei Zhongxian said that, the crowd below immediately became noisy. Most of them did not understand what had happened.
"Hehe, I've already given you a chance. I believe you're all curious about what happened.”
Wei Zhongxian slowly scanned the crowd. No one dared to look him in the eye. Wei Zhongxian nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with his aura.
"The person on duty in the palace yesterday, step forward. I want to know who leaked the Empress Dowager's words to His Majesty!”
As soon as Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, more than twenty eunuchs from the East Chamber walked out of the crowd, trembling.
"Factory Master, you're not a small one.”
"Factory Master, you're innocent."
The twenty or so eunuchs immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
"Shut up!"
Wei Zhongxian shouted angrily, and the twenty over people immediately fell to the ground in fear, not daring to make a sound.
"None of you will admit it? Or…there are no informants?"
Wei Zhongxian's lips curled into a sinister smile. After he finished speaking, he waited for a moment, but no one responded.
"Very good. Since that's the case, I don't want to waste my time and effort to find out which one of you leaked the news.”
"You guys still don't understand me well enough.”
Wei Zhongxian shook his head, and his eyes gradually turned vicious.
"Eunuch Cao, kill these people. The traitor must be among them.”
Cao Zhengchun was stunned. He was also frightened by Wei Zhongxian's ruthlessness, but this was not the time for him to hesitate.
Cao Zhengchun drew his saber and walked toward the kneeling crowd.
"Please spare my life, Factory Master. I'm innocent!"
"I'm innocent, Factory Master!"
"Eunuch Wei, I've been wronged!"
Everyone looked at Cao Zhengchun in fear and begged for mercy at the top of their lungs.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who smiled wickedly.
"Attack!"
As Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun raised his saber, and his body left behind a series of afterimages.
In an instant…
More than twenty heads fell to the ground…
There was a wave of exclamations from the audience, but it was completely silent.
"You all saw it. This is the outcome of being a traitor. Not only will you not be able to escape, but you will also implicate others!”
Wei Zhongxian's voice was loud and clear. Even though he spoke very calmly, everyone in the school felt that he was ruthless after witnessing the scene just now!
"My method is to kill the wrong person…rather than let him go! Are there any of you who are willing to be traitors?”
Wei Zhongxian's voice finally turned vicious, gradually wetting the blood on the platform, making him look even more ferocious!
Plop!
Cao Zhengchun put away his saber and knelt down in a pool of blood in Wei Zhongxian's direction.
"I swear my loyalty to you!"
Then…
The two thousand East Chamber foreigners knelt down on the ground!
"I swear my loyalty to you!"
"I swear my loyalty to you!"
……
At night.
Wei Zhongxian was in his study in the Governor's Mansion, looking up as if he was thinking.
The moon in the Ming Dynasty was really beautiful. Compared to the later generations…it was really beautiful.
"Milord, Minister of Revenue Li Lang requests an audience.”
Cao Zhengchun's voice rang out from outside the study, interrupting Wei Zhongxian's thoughts.
"Follow me to see him and see what this Minister…is up to!”
How could Wei Zhongxian not know what Huang Jing's beloved disciple, Li Lang, was up to?
At this moment, Li Lang was pacing back and forth in Wei Zhongxian's living room. From his messy and compact pace, it was not difficult to see that the Minister of Revenue was very anxious at this moment.
"Hehe, I've made Lord Li wait.”
When Li Lang heard this, he immediately turned around in surprise.
Wei Zhongxian was looking at him with a smile. This smile made him feel like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
"Li Lang greets Lord Wei."
Li Lang bowed respectfully. This attitude…made Wei Zhongxian very satisfied.
However, what made Wei Zhongxian even more satisfied was the two big boxes that Li Lang brought!
"Lord Li, why are you here so late at night?”
Wei Zhongxian walked around Li Lang, who was still bowing, and walked to the two boxes.
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand, and the eunuchs in the room bowed and left.
Li Lang turned around, but he still maintained his bowing posture.
"Today, I listened to my master's teachings and specially came to apologize to you!”
After saying that, Li Lang maintained his bow and walked towards the two boxes.
Under Wei Zhongxian's gaze, Li Lang slowly opened the two boxes.
"Lord Wei, please accept this small gift.”
This damn horse…
Gold?
And two chests of gold!
" This Huang Jing is so generous." Wei Zhongxian swallowed his saliva. It seemed that he had underestimated this old fox who had been in the cabinet for decades.
"Haha, Lord Li, you don't have to be so polite.”
Wei Zhongxian helped Li Lang up. He now found Li Lang even more pleasing to the eye.
"As for the accounts…I hope Lord Wei will take care of it.”
Li Lang took out an account book from his embroidered robe and handed it to Wei Zhongxian respectfully.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and took it, but threw it to Cao Zhengchun without even looking at it.
"Send a message to Lord Huang for me."
Li Lang immediately bent down again, as if he was all ears.
"Sir, please speak. I will definitely bring it to you.”
"Help me tell Lord Huang that husband and wife are birds in the same forest.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he continued to look at his gold.
In his eyes, the gold was more valuable than the gold.
Li Lang frowned and flashed past.
"Is there anything else, Lord Li?"
"Oh, I won't disturb Lord Wei's rest. I'll take my leave now.”
Wei Zhongxian immediately gave the order to leave, and Li Lang also left the Governor's Mansion worriedly.
"Put this gold into my treasury.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Cao Zhengchun bowed and accepted the order. Wei Zhongxian casually threw a piece of gold into the chest, no longer showing any greed on his face.
Humph, two chests of gold in one go, looks like this Huang Jing is really fat!
Huang Jing's mansion…
"Did he really ask you to tell me this?”
Huang Jing looked at his beloved disciple in horror. Wei Zhongxian's words scared him out of his wits.
"Absolutely, Teacher. What does he mean?”
"He's reminding me that someone is going to use this matter to sabotage me!”
Huang Jing looked worried. He really couldn't think of anyone else who could make a fuss about this matter as long as Wei Zhongxian approved the red seal.
"Teacher, no one in the court should dare to oppose you.”
Li Lang tried to flatter him, but it ended up hitting the horse's hooves.
"Foolish! Muddle!"
Huang Jing's two shouts made Li Lang jump. He immediately bowed and retreated to the side, looking like he had been taught a lesson.
"The new Emperor has ascended to the throne, and this is an eventful period. The elders in the court have formed their own factions, and the Empress Dowager wants to control the government behind the curtain, not to mention the other people in the six ministries.”
"At this time, you still dare to say that no one in the court dares to go against me. You're simply muddle-headed!”
"I was muddle-headed. Teacher, please don't be angry. But Teacher, now…what should we do?”
Huang Jing looked at his disappointing disciple. It seemed that the position of Minister of Revenue was considered to be at the peak for him.
"Let's deal with all changes with unchanging changes!"
