Konoha's elder sister is number one in the world

Dongchang's transfer means that Bai Ning has been transferred out of the center of power, giving people the illusion that he is about to lose power. pb

The morning breeze carries a slight coolness, wandering among the woods in the garden. Bai Ning is sitting in the pavilion of the garden, using a brush to do some planned things, such as the Northern Expedition, some arrangements in the palace, and even the next few days. The sky was a bit unclear, the breeze blew over, the silver thread on his shoulders was fluttering, and the tips of his hair were stained with some morning dew. In fact, after returning last night, he had been sitting alone in the pavilion until now.

Soon after, the imperial edict was delivered to the house by Cao Zhenchun. The other party did not intend to read it out, but directly placed the scroll carrying the holy will on Bai Ning's stone table. The approximate meaning on it was "Admiral Dongchang" Bai Ning's abilities have doubled. Now that the Northern Expedition is going on and his progress is insufficient, Bai Ning is specially appointed as the propaganda envoy to the east and west of Beijing to supervise the war... something like that,

After taking a look at the handwriting on the imperial edict, Bai Ning continued to do his own thing with an expressionless face, but he said: "What's the situation over there with Wei Zhongxian..."

"Now his tail is raised to the sky. Both the commanders of the imperial army and the eunuchs, both inside and outside the palace, are all fawning over him... It makes people angry just thinking about it." Cao Zhenchun glanced at the imperial edict that was abandoned next to him. It's so distressing.

"Calm down, the governor has already lost his power because of his self-destruction. If he doesn't jump out and win a few times, it will be a waste of our family's efforts."

"Don't worry, Lord, Zhenchun will never forget how he was persecuted by him in the first place. Our family will stand by the Lord no matter where and when. Besides, the Lord is not without back-ups. Everyone is taking this matter seriously now." Hiding in the bottom of my heart, just wait for him to expand. If it's too slow, Zhenchun might have to burn it."

"Don't do unnecessary things, so that he can see the clues. Whether things are fast or slow, they will eventually reach that point. Let's wait and see."

Bai Ning sent the other party out of the mansion and asked in a low voice: "How are the arrangements in all aspects? I didn't expect that something would go wrong at the critical moment."

Cao Zhenchun cupped his hands and got on the sedan. He lifted the curtain and said, "Don't worry, Governor, everything is going according to plan. According to the news from Mu En, Wujiu has probably finished learning the court etiquette, and is almost ready." I will enter the palace in the next few days, and then I will think about how wonderful the expressions of His Majesty and Wei Zhongxian will be."

Across the curtain, an old face wrinkled up with a smile. pb

"Be careful with the Wannian Ship. After that fake girl named Gui enters the palace, withdraw Mu En and let him prepare to go north with the governor."

Perhaps he knew what the eunuch in the sedan was thinking, and warned him: "Don't think about disappearing Mu En forever, otherwise no one will be willing to serve us in the future..."

Cao Zhenchun responded, obviously feeling a little embarrassed as his thoughts were revealed.

"Let's go, our family is leaving too."

After Bai Ning waved the opponent away, he slowly walked back to the house and asked the steward to start packing some things. He also called his wife and the eldest lady Linglong to start preparing to go north.

...........

At the same time, in the Dongchang Yamen, the wing was closed tightly. There were no lights in the dim room, and the sunlight from outside could not shine in. Two people were drinking in the room and talking resentfully.

"I thought that joining Dongchang would bring me glory and wealth. But in the end, I didn't even find a commander of the Royal Guards. I was hiding in this yamen every day. What kind of teaching did I do? What's the difference between me and those two country bumpkins? I'm living like a mouse. , It’s really frustrating.” Jin Duyi poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and the wine glass clinked heavily on the table.

Opposite him, senior brother Zheng Biao was holding the wine glass but had no intention of drinking. The hand holding the wine glass was hanging in the air and looking at him: "If you have any other ideas, please tell me quickly."

Jin Duyi patted the table and said: "I thought, since the East Factory has lost power, why not join the West Factory? There is only one of them who is really good at martial arts. If we go there together, we will definitely be taken seriously. , it is better to be given an official position than to be moldy here. If Bai Ning is blind, no wonder we are erratic."

"We went there for no reason. Will Wei Zhongxian of the West Factory take us in? At that time, he thought we were pretending to take refuge, but it was self-defeating." Putting down the wine glass he was holding, Zheng Biao said with a dark look,

Jin Duyi glanced at the window, as if he were a thief, and lowered his voice: "Since it is a surrender, it is natural to bring some certificate of surrender. As far as I know, Dongchang has been funding the army. Did you know that this is Regarding the beheading, if we steal the account and give it to Wei Zhongxian, how will he treat us?"

"It's feasible. When will you do it?" Zheng Biao's eyes flashed with strange colors, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

"When Bai Ning goes to the north, let's take action. With Hai Dafu and I working together, wouldn't it be easy to take him down?" The more Jin Duyi thought about it, the more he felt that everything was perfect, and he couldn't help laughing.

Over there, Zheng Biao also laughed with him, but his smile was a little strange.

************************************************** ******

The west factory has been completely completed.

Fans of all sizes were practicing on the school field. Wei Zhongxian leaned on the wooden railing and watched everything in front of him. He seemed to be dreaming. Such power was something that the idle guy on the street corner had never imagined. Now he has done something that many people cannot do in several lifetimes.

"After Wugou enters the palace, we should find an opportunity to kill the little prince, otherwise the identity of the eldest son of the prince will make people worried about him." Wei Zhongxian clasped his hands, thinking too far ahead like a wise man.

He turned around and pushed open the door of the small building. In the hall, noisy sounds reached his ears.

"...Is there any way to survive in this world? Every month we have to pay a share to the east factory. Now there is a west factory popping up. I don’t know how much it will cost. If this continues, no one will be able to survive." I want to do business in Wu Dynasty..."

"Who says it's not..."

"...Why are you panicking? I heard that Dongchang is no longer favored by the Holy Family. Maybe I don't need to give the customary money. Isn't it the same as transferring it to Westchang? If Dongchang really wants to pursue it, just push it over. Well."

The wealthy businessman who spoke spoke in a low voice, probably because he was afraid that others would hear the meaning behind his words.At this time, the door opened and Wei Zhongxian had come in. He knew some things clearly but did not reveal them.

Seeing the appearance of the rightful owner, the dozen or so wealthy merchants from Bianliang immediately sat there trembling without touching the food and drinks in front of them. They quickly stood up and raised their hands in unison: "The common people pay homage to the Governor."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at them and pressed his hands to let them sit down.He casually grabbed the wine glass in front of him, drank it, threw it on the table, sat down in front of him, put one foot on the other leg and shook it, snapped his fingers, and then took aim with the crossbow outside the window. Come here, whoosh——

He shot it at a businessman who had just spoken. Before the man could react, the arrow had already penetrated into his neck. The man was shaken and his body was lying on the spot. Everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.

"Dongchang is Dongchang. I don't care how much you promise each other." Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand and held it in the air, as if he had grabbed something, "...but our family wants five levels of filial piety money. You can't miss a single copper, otherwise you will know the consequences. After all, the East Factory is already in decline, and if you want to survive, you must recognize the facts in front of the West Factory."

Wei Zhongxian pointed his finger, "This afternoon, I will see the money coming into the West Factory. If it's too late, someone will come to ask for it, and it will be a little bloody. Don't worry, I will do what I say."

"Back then, the Dongchang Yamen took many businessmen's sacrificial knives. You see, the governor of the Xichang Yamen was so kind. Are you right? It's not too much to ask for such a small amount of money, right?"

"Not too much..."

"...not too much..."

The businessmen below, large and small, can be regarded as leaders in various industries in Bianliang. Now they can only nod obediently.

After all, the warmth of the corpse at his feet has not faded away.
