The Most Powerful Man in the World

Chu Yi tapped lightly on the table with one hand and said, "Can you find out the beginning and end of the robbery of the birthday party?"

The East Factory is now an intelligence agency that claims to be no weaker than the Imperial City Division. Although it is a little exaggerated, it also proves that the East Factory has expanded rapidly in just a few years.

You must know that the Huangcheng Division has been rooted in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. It can be said that the tentacles have touched all aspects of the Song Dynasty, while the East Factory has only been established for a short period of time. When it comes to the background, it is naturally incomparable with the Huangcheng Division. But the speed of Dongchang's development is astounding. Otherwise, Chu Yi would not have asked Lin Chong about the whole story of the robbery of the birthday party.

Lin Chong knew that what Chu Yi was asking about was the inside story of the just being robbed, not the rumors on the rivers and lakes.

Since they took the initiative to mention the robbery of Cai Jing's birthday, it is obvious that Lin Chong and others have already found out what happened. Otherwise, once Chu Yi asked, wouldn't it appear that they were unprepared.

I only heard Lin Chong say: "Returning to the admiral, according to the information our people have found, the birthday outline is the birthday gift that Liang Zhongshu prepared for Cai Jing, and it is worth a hundred thousand dollars. I don't know why it leaked. Huangnigang, Yuncheng, Shandong was robbed by a group of thieves!"

Chu Yi did not expect that without Yang Zhi's participation, Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline prepared for Cai Jing would not have escaped the end of being robbed.

As soon as the name Huang Nigang in Yuncheng, Shandong came out, there was a slight smile on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth. If it was unsurprising, the few people who robbed the birth date would be Chao Gai's group.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Chong say: "There are many rumors in the rivers and lakes, but according to the information we have checked, the person who robbed the birthday card is very likely to be Chao Gai, a local tycoon in Yuncheng, Shandong, and his gang is the same. People robbed birthdays."

Although it is said that Chao Gai and his group leaked the secret not long after they robbed the birthday guide, almost everyone knew what they did, and Chao Gai and others also became famous because of this. At least many people above the rivers and lakes mentioned Chao Gailai. , all want to give a thumbs up.

However, being able to target Chao Gai's group in such a short period of time also shows the rapid expansion of the East Factory.

Yang Zhi's face showed a bit of excitement and said: "If you want me to say, Chao Gai's group did a really good job, that Liang Zhongshu scoured the place and scoured a hundred thousand pieces of gold and silver, and those gold and silver were all The hard-earned money of the common people, even if it is me, I am afraid that it will be robbed! It will never be cheap for Cai Jing's traitor."

Seeing Yang Zhi's excited appearance, sitting there, Lin Chong, who was a little more stable, couldn't help coughing, and said to Yang Zhi, "Brother Yang, be careful!"

Yang Zhi knew that Lin Chong cared about him. After all, if his words were spread out, it would be strange if Cai Jing didn't hate him.

Yang Zhi glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone here is his own people. What does Yang dare not say? Are the things that Cai Jing and Liang Zhongshu did not allow others to say?"

Seeing Yang Zhi unabashedly praising Chao Gai and his group as rare heroes in the world, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. Gang's is Yang Zhi, and his birthday Gang was robbed, but Yang Zhi can't wait for Chao Gai's group to be skinned and cramped.

Although Cai Jing's mansion is not the largest in the capital, it is the most lively. In front of the mansion, there is a lot of traffic, and all the people coming and going are the capital and local officials.

At this moment in Cai Jing's study, the old servant Cai Jiu carefully handed a secret letter to Cai Jingdao: "Master, Liang Zhongshu's letter."

With a light glance, Cai Jing took a sip of tea and said, "Look at what the letter said."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As Cai Jing's confidant, Cai Jiu was about to open the letter when he heard the words. His eyes swept over the letter, and his brows quickly wrinkled. Obviously, the news in Liang Zhongshu's letter was not a good thing.

Cai Jing, who put down the teacup, noticed the change in Cai Jiu's expression, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why, could it be that something happened to Liang Zhongshu?"

Liang Zhongshu, as a chess piece that Cai Jing placed on the ground, still played a very important role for Cai Jing.

As the prefect of the Daming House, Liang Zhongshu is obviously an extremely important chess piece, not to mention that Liang Zhongshu is also Cai Jing's son-in-law. The two are in the local area and the other in the center.

If something happened to other officials attached to Cai Jing, Cai Jing might not take it to heart, but Cai Jing still values ​​an existence as important as Liang Zhongshu.

Cai Jiudang even presented the letter to Cai Jingdao: "Master, it's not a big deal, it's just that the birthday outline that Liang Zhongshu prepared for the master was robbed by thieves when he was passing through Yuncheng, Shandong."

Cai Jing took the letter and glanced at it, then placed the letter on the coffee table and said, "Liang Zhongshu has always acted cautiously, but he never thought that he would be so careless in this matter, don't he have any competent people? Even the birthday guides escorted by the dignified officials can be robbed."

After venting between words, Cai Jing had learned from the letter that there were as many as [-] birthday lists that were robbed, and so many birthday lists were no small number for Cai Jing.

Don't think that Cai Jing will swallow all these birthdays. He just uses the name of the birthdays to make money for the current official family. Otherwise, how could he, Cai Jing alone, dare to come up with any birthdays? I am not afraid of today's officials. Blame him.

Just like Hua Shigang, who was making a lot of noise in Jiangnan, was started by Zhu Xun. With such a big movement, today's officials are neither deaf nor blind. Whether it is Dongchang or Huangcheng Division, some information about Jiangnan is presented. .

However, Zhu Xun, like the king of Jiangnan, exploited the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and made a lot of money with the help of Hua Shigang.

Jiangnan mentioned that Zhu Xian wanted to swallow Zhu Xian alive, but he didn't know that if Zhu Xian hadn't dedicated a large amount of the wealth he had collected to Zhao Ji, how could Zhu Xun alone have dared to harm the Jiangnan region so lawlessly.

In the final analysis, everything is because of the permission of the emperor, so there are names such as Hua Shi Gang, Birthday Gang and so on.

Cai Jing pondered for a while and said, "Cai Jiu, what do you think about this matter?"

Cai Jiu glanced at Cai Jing, his triangular eyes trembled slightly, and immediately said: "Master, Dongchang and Huangcheng Division have the responsibility to oversee the world. This time the birth date was robbed, why don't you ask Dongchang and Huangcheng Division? "

Cai Jiu only mentioned the East Factory, and even if Cai Jing understood Cai Jiu's intention, he simply handed the matter over to the East Factory for handling.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Cai Jing and Chu Yi is not good, but it is precisely because of the non-compliance that this matter is handed over to Chu Yi.

It would be fine if Dongchang could find the birth date guide, but if he couldn't find the birth date guide, he could read a copy of Chu Yi in front of the emperor.

Squeezing his beard, Cai Jing nodded slightly and said, "Serving the master and changing clothes, I want to enter the palace to meet the official's family!"

in the palace

Zhao Ji, who is full of romance, is now writing madly. It has to be said that although Zhao Ji is a little worse as the emperor, his artistic attainments are few and far between. Can be named in history.

Yang Jian, who was serving on the side, saw Zhao Ji put away the pen, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the towel from Xiao Huangmen's hand, while taking the brush in Zhao Ji's hand, he offered the towel.

And Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to him, saw that Yang Jian served Zhao Ji properly, but he did not step forward to fight, but carefully helped Zhao Ji sort out the silk paper, and said with a look of admiration: "Your Majesty's writing skills are getting better and better. Even if it is compared to the book sage Wang Xizhi, it is not much different."

Although he said that he is very confident in his calligraphy, when he heard Liang Shicheng praise him like this, Zhao Ji said very modestly: "Although my calligraphy is not bad, it is a little worse than Wang Xizhi..."

Just as they were talking, they heard a burst of laughter, and when they looked up, they saw Cai Jing striding over in an official uniform.

Cai Jing stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Ji, and when Liang Shicheng saw Cai Jing approaching, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward and pulled Cai Jing: "Cai Xiang, come and see, your Majesty's calligraphy skills are not comparable to Wang Xizhi?"

Cai Jing stroked his beard and looked reserved. He stared at Zhao Ji's calligraphy for a long time, and the expression in his eyes changed.

Seeing that Cai Jing was so solemn, even Zhao Ji, who didn't care much, couldn't help being attracted by Cai Jing, and he was looking forward to Cai Jing's evaluation.

Letting out a breath, Cai Jing turned around and greeted Zhao Ji with a salute, and then said, "Your Majesty is unique in calligraphy and has a family of its own. Even if you compare it to Wang Xizhi, it is not bad. He will surely be famous in the history of the future and will be praised by future generations!"

Cai Jing's words are not an exaggeration. Zhao Ji is indeed famous in the history, but more because of his ignorance, which ruined the great mountains and rivers of the Northern Song Dynasty and left his name in the history.

Being praised by Cai Jing, Zhao Ji was naturally in a very good mood. After washing up, Zhao Ji took the tea and said to Cai Jing, "Cai Qing is coming to see me in the palace at this moment. Could it be that there is something important in the court?"

Don't look at Zhao Ji living in the palace and letting go of power to Cai Jing and others, but this does not mean that Zhao Ji is ignorant of the affairs of the court.

Knowing that Zhao Ji is willing, the affairs of the DPRK and China will be known to Zhao Ji, no matter how big or small, so Zhao Ji is never worried that he will be overridden by the officials below.

When Cai Jing heard the words, he hurriedly said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, my son-in-law Liang Zhongshu prepared some birthday gifts for him, but he was robbed by a group of thieves on the way to the capital."

Hearing Cai Jing say this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be surprised: "What, there are such daring thieves, if I remember correctly, isn't Liang Zhongshu supervising the Daming Mansion for me? From Daming Mansion to the capital, it is my Song Dynasty. In the heart of the land, such an important place, there will be thieves looting the place?"

Cai Jing said sternly: "I also have the same idea. The birthday gift of my minister is nothing, but the Daming Mansion is so important, from the Daming Mansion to the capital is the key place of my Song Dynasty. If something went wrong, but there are thieves and bandits infested, the minister dare not be careless, so I hereby beg your Majesty to dispatch someone from the East Factory to investigate the matter."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but glance at Cai Jing, while Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji with a serious face, as if to show that he had no selfish thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I will send an order to Chu Yi, and ask him to take someone to find out where this group of thieves came from."

Cai Jing immediately said: "With Chu Yi taking people personally, this minister can feel at ease."

Zhao Ji pointed at Cai Jing, smiled and shook his head: "You, you..."

However, for the open and secret fight between Cai Jing and Chu Yi, Zhao Ji saw it in his eyes, but he would not stop it, but was happy to see it succeed. If Chu Yi and Cai Jing really stopped fighting, Zhao Ji would be worried.

As long as the two fight, then he can be high above, adjust in the middle, and control everything in his hands, without worrying about being united by others to become a puppet emperor.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jian opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. This matter made it clear that Cai Jing was designing Chu Yi, but the emperor knew that he didn't mean to stop it, which meant that even he Opening his mouth can't change the emperor's mind.

As the favored minister by the emperor's side, Yang Jian naturally knows when to say what to say. Since things cannot be done, then everything should go with the emperor. At most, he will tell Chu Yi everything and let Chu Yi be careful.

The speed of the imperial court is still quite fast, the emperor here made a decision, and soon there was a eunuch who passed the decree to convey the decree to the east factory.

In the East Factory, Chu Yi looked at the imperial decree that was put aside with a bit of a smile in his eyes.

Chu Yi was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Cai Jing would push this matter to Dongchang.

Of course, Cai Jing's intentions, Chu Yi, couldn't be clearer. They just wanted to cause trouble for Dongchang.

Lin Chong and Yang Zhi looked at Chu Yi with angry expressions on their faces.

Although these things are said to be under the jurisdiction of their Dongchang, but really speaking, in fact, arresting the thieves should be the responsibility of the local government, and only if the local government is unable to arrest will they go to the Binghuangcheng Division or Dongchang to hand over the case. come up.

But now that the local government has not forwarded the case, Cai Jing directly overstepped the procedure and handed such a case to their East Factory through the emperor for detection.

Regardless of whether Dongchang can solve the case or not, Cai Jing's intentions against Dongchang are very clear.

Although it was not the first time that they were targeted by Cai Jing, everyone was mentally prepared, but when they really received the imperial edict, everyone was still very excited.

Whether it is Guan Sheng or Xu Ning, or Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Hu Yanzhuo, these people are loyal and loyal to the Song Dynasty. There are many people, but these people are better than many people who can see the dull face of today's officials.

Whether it is favoring Cai Jing as a traitor or condoning Zhu Xun to harm the land in the south of the Yangtze River, it can be said that since Zhao Ji took the throne, the situation of the Song Dynasty can be said to be getting worse and worse.

If you can't get in touch with these, that's fine, but Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others were able to get in touch with these through the Dongchang news channel. Naturally, they were quite disappointed with Dang Jinzi.

"Admiral, we..."

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that the Governor also wants to go out for a walk. Since Cai Jing wants to see Chu's jokes, then Chu will take a walk."

While speaking, Chu Yi looked at Lin Chong and said, "Lin Chong, you are prudent in nature, and you have been with Ben Du for the longest time. You are also responsible for all the affairs in the East Factory. This East Factory will be under your supervision for the time being!"

Lin Chong took a step forward and bowed respectfully: "Admiral, don't worry, Lin Chong is determined to be optimistic about Dongchang for the governor and wait for the governor's return."

Xu Ning, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and others couldn't help standing up one by one. They naturally hoped to accompany Chu Yi to the land of Shandong, but none of the people present were fools, and Chu Yi obviously wanted to leave others to help. Lin Chong, it is impossible to take everyone away, so some of them must stay, and it is up to Chu Yi who can be selected.

"Xu Ning, Huyanzhuo, you two stay behind to assist Lin Chong."

Being named by Chu Yi, although they said they were a little disappointed in their hearts, the two still respectfully took orders.

As for Hua Rong, Guan Sheng, and Yang Zhi, they were named by Chu Yi with joy, packed their things, and went to Shandong with Chu Yi.

Here, Chu Yi and his party have not left the capital, and the news has spread all over the rivers and lakes.

You must know that over the years, Chu Yi's reputation has become synonymous with big traitors due to the efforts of Cai Jing and others, even if it is comparable to Cai Jing, Zhu Meng and others.

Although I dare not say that everyone is shouting and beating, but there are many people in the rivers and lakes who can't wait to pluck Chu Yi's head to become famous in the world.

Of course, not only Chu Yi, but also Cai Jing, Zhu Xun and others are also the targets of many people in the arena.

Even if he was in the capital, Cai Jing had elite guards to protect him every day. Even so, Cai Jing was assassinated more than once.

Chu Yi hid in the East Factory, but according to what Lin Chong and Xu Ning said, there were no less than a dozen waves of people secretly watching the East Factory.

In today's Song Dynasty, there are many warriors with warm blood, especially those who were born in the occupied areas. The hatred of being incompetent to the court and unable to recover their homeland has been transferred to the so-called traitors such as Cai Jing and Chu Yi. It seems that in addition to Cai Jing, With Chu Yi and others, the imperial court will be able to mobilize the army in the northern expedition and take back the homeland.

At the beginning, Chu Yi led the army to encircle and suppress the Murong clan. It can be said that no one knows about the Murong family. It was also that battle that brought Chu Yi into the sight of countless people in the arena.

For those people in the rivers and lakes, Bei Qiaofeng and Nan Murong spread all over the world through their mouths, which can be said to be the representatives of the people in the rivers and lakes.

However, as their representative, the Murong Clan was destroyed by the imperial court, which naturally deeply stimulated these people in the arena.

Even though some people in the arena knew that the Murong Clan's downfall was entirely self-inflicted, Murong Longcheng made a riot in the capital, and the Murong Clan wanted to revive Dayan, no matter which one, the imperial court's extermination of the Murong Clan was understandable.

However, apart from a very small number of people in the arena who know about this kind of secret, how many people know about the plans of the Murong family. These people will only regard the Murong family as their idol.And the destruction of the Murong Clan will inevitably make many people in the arena hostile to the imperial court.

As the executioner who destroyed the Murong Clan, Chu Yi, of course, became a veritable traitor.

When the news spread that Chu Yi left the capital and was about to go to Shandong, for a while, the huge rivers and lakes were boiling, and I don’t know how many people in the rivers and lakes were eager to make Chu Yi’s head famous in the world.

From Bianliang City to Daming Mansion, the road is full of dangers.

At this moment, on a carriage, Yang Zhizheng was sitting opposite Chu Yi with a solemn face, looking at Chu Yi who was holding a scroll in his hand and said: "Admiral, if we are leaving the capital this time, if we go to Daming Mansion, we have to pass through Chisong Forest, Yeyundu, Baishawu, Huangnigang, Umbrella Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Zijin Mountain and many other bad places!"
