I am immortal in the immortal world

Chapter 390 A Great Victory
"You really hold a grudge!"

Emperor Zhengtong scolded, his anger towards Zhou Yi gradually subsided, and he asked instead.

"The Beijing Ballad, is it true? Eunuch Zhu and the elders of the two dynasties, if you dare to slander, it is a felony!"

"Your Majesty, this servant is not lying."

Zhou Yi quickly replied: "Then Eunuch Zhu sold medicines everywhere in the palace since he was the first emperor, and the usual Yirong ointment is nothing more than that. I heard that there are also red flower pills, favored pills and so on."

"One piece sells for hundreds of taels, and the supply is in short supply. In the past few decades, tens of thousands of taels must have been saved!"

"Humph!"

When Emperor Zhengtong heard the names of the latter two medicines, he became determined to kill Eunuch Zhu, and said in a solemn voice that he dared to affect the prosperity of the royal family's heirs with a mere pickle.

"I will entrust this matter to you, and thoroughly investigate Eunuch Zhu's stolen money!"

Zhou Yi showed joy, kowtowed and said: "Your servant obeys the order."

Emperor Zhengtong said quietly: "It is said that Eunuch Zhu corrupted a million taels of ink. If the amount is less, I will hold you accountable for false accusations..."

Zhou Yi's thoughts turned, and he didn't understand why Emperor Zhengtong gave such an order to wipe out the Duzhi prison.

Your Majesty, are you also short of money?
"The servants will investigate thoroughly to the end, wipe out all the corruption, and let everyone know that the prison is innocent!"

Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Zhou Yi.

One has no foundation, so he can only be loyal to himself; two, he can handle affairs, and he has handed over millions of taels for internal funds in a short period of time;
"Go on, let's do things well, and I will definitely not treat my loyal ministers badly."

"Long live Your Majesty..."

Zhou Yi kowtowed and resigned, and he let out a long sigh of relief when he left the Qianqing Palace.

His back was chilled, already drenched with sweat, the emperor's emotions were unpredictable, even if he had great confidence, he might fail.

"This approach is a bit risky. However, if our family does not take action, it will be waiting for Mr. Zhu to set a trap. It will be more passive and dangerous. It is better to strike first!"

Zhou Yi carefully pondered and deliberated, and the matter has reached the current point, and Eunuch Zhu has basically been sentenced to death.

A big win!

Passing through the gate of the palace, Zhou Yi called Xiao Quzi aside and asked which minister had come to Qianqing Palace in the past two days.

"Go back to godfather."

Xiaoquzi had a quick memory and said one by one: "Yesterday, His Majesty summoned several adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire about the amount of gold, silver, grain and grass in the treasury. Today, he summoned the ministers of the Ministry of War to discuss the candidates for the army!"

"The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War!"

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Your Majesty wants to fight?"

Now that northern Xinjiang is stable, the king of Zhenbei led an army to sweep back and forth against foreign races, and the cattle, sheep, and human traffickers he robbed were sent to Daqing to build Zhenbei City.

There are rumors in the market that after the completion of Zhenbei City, the peace of northern Xinjiang can be guaranteed for a hundred years.

"To the east of Daqing is the sea, and to the south is the [-] mountains. There are no established forces, so only the west is left..."

Zhou Yi infers the purpose of the orthodox emperor, and the servants do not care about right or wrong, but must be consistent with His Majesty.

Daqing is located in the east of the vast continent, occupying a large coastal plain. The Golden Wolf Kingdom in the north has been destroyed, and the Great Moon Kingdom established by foreign races in the west is still there.

"Your Majesty is in urgent need of gold and silver for the Western Expedition!"

Excitement flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. He guessed what the orthodox emperor needed. As long as he found a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, he would be able to win the emperor's heart and be promoted quickly.

"Xiao Yuanzi must have known about this a long time ago, and he didn't let the wind out."

"Hmph, our family's money is not so easy to get!"

Zhou Yi made a note in his heart, took out a few banknotes from his cuffs, and stuffed them into Xiaoquzi's hands: "The job was done well. Take this money back to your hometown. I heard that you have a younger brother who has studied?"

"Students are good students. In the future, if they pass the exam, our family will find him an errand in the Beijing Yamen!"

"Thank you godfather!"

Xiao Quzi kowtowed repeatedly, he was on duty as the admiral of the palace, and the governor of the Beijing government did not dare to provoke him, so it was easy to find a vacancy.

"Good job."

With a few words of encouragement, Zhou Yi quickened his pace and returned to the supervisor on duty, and ordered Wen Dianbo to recruit thirty or forty servants.

All of them are martial arts masters, and one can beat dozens of others.

"Follow our family to check on Eunuch Zhu!"

With a whistling sound from Zhou Yi, dozens of people rushed towards Du Zhijian.

……

All know the prison.

With a bloated body, Eunuch Zhu squeezed into the grand master's chair, and was sipping tea in a leisurely manner.

There are more than thirty godsons on the left and right, with different expressions, most of them are worried and panic, while a few eyes roll around, thinking about selling their godfather to save their lives.

At this time.

There were chaotic footsteps outside, Zhou Yiren arrived before the sound.

"Godfather, godfather is here to greet you!"

Eunuch Zhu put down the teacup, looked at the menacing crowd, and suddenly let out a series of strange laughs.

"Jie Jie Jie! Our family killed our godfather back then and got this kid. We have long thought of this day, but we never thought it would be you."

Zhou Yi entered the hall and said with a smile on his face.

"We have obeyed His Majesty's orders, and we know about the ink corruption case in the investigation, but don't worry, godfather, as long as you are not greedy for money, you will be safe and sound!"

Eunuch Zhu asked: "Tell me, how can we let our family go?"

"200 taels!"

Zhou Yi cupped his hands in the direction of Qianqing Palace: "The national treasury is empty, and His Majesty is in urgent need of silver taels. We slaves have to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Eunuch Zhu said coldly: "Don't ask the lion to open his mouth. No matter how greedy our family is, we won't be able to give so much."

"Godfather is not enough, what about us godbrothers?"

Zhou Yi looked around at the servants in the palace, scared them back again and again, and said with a strange smile: "It's not enough, and everyone knows that no matter how many people are killed, we have to collect enough money!"

Eunuch Zhu said in a deep voice: "We all know that the prison is an important place for internal servants, how can you do it like this, how can you do things for His Majesty if you kill too many?"

"Godfather, you think too much of yourself."

Zhou Yi said: "I heard that there were floods in the south, and tens of thousands of refugees were begging everywhere. You said how much money a person is worth, and if you kill each of you, you can buy thousands of servants!"

Eunuch Zhu's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he always asked for a lot of money to pay back the money. He never thought of this Eunuch Yi, the lion opened his mouth and bit the price to death.

After a long silence, he sighed helplessly.

"Our family agreed, 200 million taels, don't break your promise!"

"A real man keeps his word, and it's hard to chase after a horse!"

Zhou Yi pointed to the servants in the palace and said, "However, we have to add the lives of our dry brothers."

Eunuch Zhu nodded and said, "Naturally, our godson..."

Before finishing speaking, a servant said, "Godfather, I don't want to die!"

Zhou Yi's zhenqi circulated to the index finger, and it shot out and penetrated the head of the servant, with a bang, blood splashed everywhere, staining Eunuch Zhu and others red and white.

"Godfather, you godson is unfaithful, our family will take care of it for you!"

Eunuch Zhu looked at the other godsons coldly: "Think about your relatives, family members, or sons raised outside the palace, either die alone or all die!"

The faces of all the servants were pale, knowing that they could not resist.

A few quick-witted servants ran over and knelt in front of Zhou Yi, begging for mercy.

"Eunuch Yi, we are willing to pledge allegiance and offer all the silver!"

With a few slaps, Zhou Yi slapped his head to pieces, glanced at the guards on duty to the left and right, and said with a half-smile.

"Our family hates betrayal the most!"
