I am immortal in the immortal world

Chapter 393
"Our family is so happy!"

Zhou Yi was amazed, and looked up to Eunuch Jing again, grabbed his hand and said kindly.

"The Taizu had to meet Liu Zixu and transform into a dragon. Eunuch Jing is our family's Zixu. If you have any doubts in the future, brother Jing needs to give us advice!"

Eunuch Jing wanted to remind him that it was Liu Zihu, but he felt the strength in his hands.

"Eunuch Yi, don't worry, we'll be here whenever you call..."

"What is it called Eunuch Yi, it's too natural!"

Zhou Yi's eyes were reddish, and there were faint tears condensed: "Brother Jing, from now on, we are half-brothers with different fathers and mothers. We share the blessings and share the difficulties!"

Eunuch Jing had no choice but to recognize this brother.

Zhou Yi glanced left and right, and the two godsons immediately understood, kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison.

"Meet godfather!"

"Ehhh."

Eunuch Jing promised repeatedly that the matter had come to an end, so he had to make a false appointment with Eunuch Yi first, and wait for him to lose his power one day before retaliating.

If we haven't lost power, or become more powerful, then we are true brothers!
After talking for a while, Zhou Yi and Jing Gongyi bid farewell, and the guard on duty returned to silence.

Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered.

"Send a few smart people to the library to help Brother Jing sort out the books, and tell our family everything he has read and scriptures he has read!"

"As ordered."

The godson on the left bowed to accept the order, and asked: "Godfather, how many godfathers does Eunuch Jing have in the palace, do you want them..."

Having said that, he squeezed his neck.

"Don't do things so cruelly, we are all sharing worries for His Majesty, so be kind."

Zhou Yi said: "Try me over, anyone with good eyesight will definitely not refuse us. If you refuse, then you are stupid. A fool can live in the palace for a long time!"

The godson patted the horse and said: "Godfather is wise!"

Zhou Yi glanced at this guy, all the godsons he adopted were clever, how could he not figure out this way, he must have asked deliberately and then took the opportunity to flatter him.

However, our family likes to hear it!

"You keep an eye on this matter. In the future, when Eunuch Jing is gone, our family will let you take charge of the Sutra Pavilion."

"Thank you godfather."

The godson quickly kowtowed, the Sutra Pavilion seemed to be without oil and water, but he had a special status in the palace, for example, Eunuch Jing had no power and power, and Zhou Yi could be called a brother.

"Go."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, then looked at the other cadre: "How is the matter of the imperial prison?"

The godson said quickly: "Godfather, there are guards everywhere in the palace. During this period of time, we have found out the details of Eunuch Zhao."

Zhou Yi blew on the hot tea and tasted it: "Tell me."

"Ninety percent of the money that Eunuch Zhao is greedy for ink comes from tributes in the palace."

The godson said: "The method of greedy ink is mainly to falsely report the quantity, and the excess is pocketed, and the traces are wiped and sold outside the palace. The second is to trade the bad for the good. ..."

"Then there is self-collection of Zigong. It is said that the Su family responsible for the tribute silk and satin is from Eunuch Zhao..."

"There is also a false report on the price of the tribute... Excuse the flaws, seize and delay the supplier's payment... Take bribes from the tribute merchants, deliberately buy defective products..."

There are more than [-] piles one by one.

After Zhou Yi finished listening, he slammed the teacup on the table and cursed: "It's just a bastard. The imperial prison wasted money from internal funds and greedy His Majesty's money. It should be punished by the nine clans!"

The godson nodded repeatedly, and said: "Should we spread the matter? When it spreads in the streets and alleys, His Majesty will definitely tell Eunuch Zhao..."

"Hmph! If you do this again, our family's head will be lost."

Zhou Yi knew that one thing must not be done differently, the previous method of entrapping Eunuch Zhu had already affected His Majesty's face, and then it was reported that the imperial prison was corrupt, and the head of the rumorer was chopped off first.

Rumors have nothing to do with truth or falsehood, His Majesty's face is much more important than arresting corrupt officials!

The godson asked, "What should I do then?"

Zhou Yi closed his eyes and meditated, tapped his fingers on the table, stopped suddenly after a while, and asked, "Is the imperial supervisor responsible for paying tribute with rouge and gouache?"

Before the godson reported to work, he remembered all the news of the imperial prison clearly, and replied immediately.

"The harem rouge gouache is divided into nineteen categories, which are respectively supplied by seven well-known merchants in Beijing, Jiangnan and other places."

"Among them, Tianxiang Pavilion has a close relationship with Eunuch Zhao, and it is rumored that the owner behind the scenes is Eunuch Zhao's descendants!"

Zhou Yi asked: "How about the rouge in Tianxiang Pavilion?"

The godson replied: "It's better than the usual ones, but it's far inferior to the other six hundred-year-old brands. However, most of the tributes from Tianxiang Pavilion are things that are not commonly used."

"According to the people below, the amount of rouge offered as a tribute is so large that the empresses in the palace can't run out of it, and they will replace it with fresh ones every few days!"

"Eunuch Zhao is careful in doing things."

Zhou Yi snorted coldly. This way of doing things not only made a lot of money, but also caused no real impact.

Those rouges in Tianxiangge are not often used, and once in a while, you can’t compare them with good or bad, not to mention they will be thrown away every few days, even if you buy old-fashioned rouges, it will make no difference.

Eunuch Zhao is worthy of being an old man in the palace. He knows which money is hot and which money can be taken!
Zhou Yi asked: "Is the Tianxiang Pavilion in the capital?"

"It's in Chongning Square."

"When will the next batch of tribute rouge enter the palace?"

"One return per season, in another two months."

"Ah."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Go down, our family is sleepy!"

The godson was slightly taken aback, he thought it was to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't dare to ask why, knelt down and kowtowed and exited the door.

Zhou Yi sat on the chair and thought for a long time, and he had an idea in his heart.

"This matter is related to the harem, so I dare not entrust it to others. If traces are exposed, it will be a capital offense!"

……

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Yi estimated the date, and asked the Supervisor of Rites for leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives.

The servant signed the contract of sale, lost his status as a good citizen according to the law, and became a private servant of the royal family. In theory, he could not return to his hometown to visit his relatives.

This is also to prevent eunuchs from colluding with foreign ministers.

However, at the level of Zhouyi, it is easy to go out of the palace in private, and the servants at the gate of the palace belong to the guards on duty.

The emperor knew that he couldn't control going out of the palace, so he simply took this matter as a reward and allowed the eunuchs of high grade to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives, but they needed the approval of the admiral.

Eunuch Yuan asked His Majesty what he meant, and immediately allowed Zhou Yi to ask for leave to visit relatives.

"Three days is enough to go back and forth."

Zhou Yi took out the palace waist card, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and went out from the corner gate of the palace, passing through many squares and cities all the way out of the capital.

When leaving the east gate of the city, Zhou Yi deliberately showed his waist badge and revealed his identity.

When the city gate officer saw the servants in the palace, regardless of his rank or not, he knelt down and bowed: "I pay my respects to Eunuch Yi."

"Jie Jie Jie, not bad not bad!"

Zhou Yi patted the city gate official on the shoulder. When the drought came to the capital to beg for food, because they had no money to pay the city fee, the soldiers at the gate shouted and violently expelled.

It's a pity that he is no longer that city gate official, otherwise he will be taught that life is worse than death!

out of town.

Zhou Yi mobilized his true energy, and walked as fast as a galloping horse, all the way to Wannian County.
