People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 315

Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian's residence.

Watching Tian Ergeng gradually disappear from his sight, Wei Zhongxian shook his head, his disappointment in his eyes undisguised.

Apparently, he had heard from Tian Ergeng that the emperor had summoned him and Xu Xianchun to the palace, but it was precisely because he knew that he was disappointed.

From the fact that the emperor asked him and Xu Xianchun to investigate himself and the so-called "eunuch party", it was clear that the emperor asked them to use the investigation as an excuse to separate the Jinyiwei from his Dongchang.

Even Xu Xianchun, the commander, could understand such a simple truth, but he, the commander, could not see it, and instead stupidly ran to him to ask him to give him advice. Isn't this clearly telling the emperor that the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei of the Dongchang, not the emperor's Jinyiwei?

"It seems that I can't hesitate any longer, and I have to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Cursing a fool in his heart, Wei Zhongxian finally made a decision.

After what happened in the morning court, he could see that the emperor was forcing him to make a choice. Either he disbanded the eunuch party and became a lone minister who followed the emperor's orders, or he disappeared with the so-called eunuch party.

Just as Wei Zhongxian began to draw up a list in his mind, a little eunuch ran in breathlessly, "Grandpa, grandpa, something happened in the palace?"

"It's Sanzi, tell me what happened in the palace that made you run so fast!"

After all, he was a nine thousand year old man who had experienced many storms. Compared with the anxiety of the visitor, Wei Zhongxian seemed particularly calm, as if he was not afraid of a collapse.

The little eunuch called Sanzi didn't waste any words and directly told the story of the great purge that happened in the palace today.

"Grandfather, there will be no one of ours in the harem now, and we won't be able to know anything in advance in the future!"

"Okay, we know about this. Since the emperor doesn't like it, don't put anyone in there anymore."

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian was not as anxious as expected after learning about this, but seemed to have expected it.

"Besides that, what else?"

Seeing that the newly adopted grandson in front of him looked like he was about to say something, Wei Zhongxian knew that he had something else to say.

Sure enough, after hearing the question, the little eunuch named Sanzi still gritted his teeth and told the story of Wang Chengen leading the emperor to the inner treasury, and even did not hide the words that cursed the late emperor.

However, as he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came to the little eunuch without caring about his image and picked him up.

"Did the emperor really say that?"

The little eunuch was startled by Wei Zhongxian's sudden move, but he still told the situation at that time in a disjointed manner.

"Okay, okay, our family is saved!"

After getting the confirmation from the young eunuch, Wei Zhongxian threw him back to the ground, and then began to walk around the hall.

After a long time, Wei Zhongxian, who finally made a decision, said to the young eunuch: "Go and inform all our children and grandchildren, and tell them to come to the East Factory as soon as possible, and tell them that our family has a way to save them!"

"Ah?"

The young eunuch was confused, and he didn't understand what his 9,900-year-old grandfather was thinking.

"Ah, what? Go quickly, you have delayed our family's important matters, watch out for your skin!"

Seeing that the other party was still confused, Wei Zhongxian slapped him in the face, without any sense of propriety.

"Grandpa, calm down, your grandson will go right away!"

The third son, who was awakened by the slap, shuddered suddenly, and then notified others as instructed.

At this time, in the Shangshu Mansion, the eunuch party officials headed by Cui Chengxiu and Shi Fenglai all looked miserable. They didn't expect the emperor to take action against Wei Zhongxian so quickly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the so-called ten crimes of the factory owner that Zheng Lun wrote in the morning court today were just a test of the emperor's attitude towards the so-called eunuch party.

But they never expected that the emperor would take this opportunity to dismiss their factory owner.

That's not all. Just now, Tian Ergeng told them that the emperor sent people to collect evidence of their crimes.

What does this mean? This means that the emperor is going to take action against them. When they thought of what they had done over the years, everyone couldn't help but tremble all over. At this moment, they felt that the sky had fallen.

Just when they were looking worried, they suddenly saw the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion walking in hurriedly with a little eunuch, who was the third son.

However, because this person had just worshipped Wei Zhongxian not long ago, Cui Chengxiu and others did not know his identity.

Seeing that Cui Chengxiu was about to lose his temper, the third son hurriedly said: "My lords, the Nine Thousand Years Old has ordered that you all get up and go to the East Factory immediately."Cui Chengxiu and others stood up immediately after hearing this, "What did you say? The factory master wants us to go to the East Factory immediately. Are you the factory master's man?"

"I dare not deceive you, my lord. I am the grandson of the Nine Thousand Years Old. Now my godfather asks me to ask you to go to the East Factory immediately, saying that there is a way to save you."

"You are really the factory master's man. What are you waiting for? Lead the way!"

When Cui Chengxiu and others heard that Wei Zhongxian had a way to save them, how could they bear it? They immediately set off for the East Factory.

Half an hour later, except for the cabinet chief Huang Liji, who was not very familiar with them, and the Jinyiwei commander Xu Xianchun, almost all the eunuch party members came to the East Factory.

"Factory master, do you really have a way to save us?"

As soon as the greetings were over, Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the Five Tigers, came to Wei Zhongxian and asked in a low voice after being recommended by everyone.

Wei Zhongxian took a sip of tea first, and then slowly said after putting down the teacup: "We do have a way. Although it's not 100%, there is still a 70% to 80% chance. Of course, the premise is that you have to pay a little price."

"Master, you said that as long as you can save us, we can pay any price!"

"Yes, Master, please save us!"

When they heard that Wei Zhongxian was 70% to 80% sure of saving them, everyone came to Wei Zhongxian like crazy and started discussing.

Let alone 70% to 80%, even if it was only 10% or 20%, no, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, they didn't want to miss it.

Besides, based on their understanding of Wei Zhongxian, if he said there was a way, then there must be a real way.

Seeing that this group of people were so tactful, Wei Zhongxian didn't keep them in suspense, and immediately told them what he heard from the eunuch Enping about the emperor's inspection of the inner treasury. Of course, he didn't dare to say anything about Wu Yu's words scolding Zhu Youxiao.

"So, Mr. Factory, what you mean is..."

Wei Zhongxian didn't waste any words: "It's very simple, spend money to buy life!"
