Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This is the case with Ganquan Palace.

The same is true for the Internal Affairs Supervisor.

Sun Yang, the deputy chief of the Internal Affairs Bureau, originally thought that the chief, Liu An, had been promoted and transferred.

According to seniority, it should be his turn to fill the vacancy of the general manager's position.

But what I never expected was that someone would parachute in from somewhere else.

That's fine, after all, airborne operations are nothing new.

If he was parachuted in, he must have been a general manager, deputy general manager, or something like that before.

He felt that this was not unacceptable.

But Li Changsheng, who was parachuted in, was originally just a sixth-rank eunuch in charge.

This made Sun Yang very uncomfortable.

In fact, he felt very aggrieved.

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

In order to prevent the honest man from being wronged again, Sun Yang decided to fight back.

Give the new eunuch in charge a warning.

So that he can know who has the final say in the Internal Affairs Bureau?

To this end, he specially summoned the eunuchs with whom he had a good personal relationship, gave them instructions in person, and formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

However, the "east wind" they have been waiting for.

He did not take up the post of Internal Affairs Supervisor immediately.

Instead, he went directly to the Heavenly Prison of the Imperial City.

Cao Jixiang was originally worried that he had been deceived by Li Changsheng.

Because of this, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep or eat.

He sometimes felt upset that he might have been cheated out of all his savings.

Sometimes I worry about my own hopeless fate.

He was in a trance and collapsed several times.

I even had thoughts of committing suicide.

But he never expected that it would happen when he was most desperate.

Li Changsheng is here.

It's like a ray of light shining into the darkness.

At first, Cao Jixiang thought he was under too much mental stress and was having hallucinations.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, made sure he was not seeing things, then excitedly rushed to the prison door.

"Eunuch Li, you are finally here. How is the matter going? Can we save our heads?"

Li Changsheng saw that Cao Jixiang was too excited.

So I didn't tell him the truth directly.

But avoid talking about it.

The plan is like training an eagle.

He just wants to endure it for now, that’s his psychological expectation.

In this way, he will have the illusion of escaping death.

Only then will you be grateful to yourself!

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng turned around and talked about something else. He raised the wine and meat in his hand and said with a serious expression:

"Eunuch Cao, don't worry. I brought you a bottle of premium Huadiao wine and your favorite braised beef in soy sauce!"

After hearing what Li Changsheng said, Cao Jixiang thought that his end was near.

Today's meal of delicious food and wine is the last meal before leaving.

This extinguished the hope that had just ignited in his eyes in an instant.

His skinny body shook twice, then he staggered and collapsed to the ground.

"Eunuch Li, has my time come?"

Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "That's how it was originally, but..."

"But what?"

Originally, Cao Jixiang had already lost hope.

Li Changsheng made another unexpected turn, which rekindled his hope and made him ask more questions impatiently.

Li Changsheng ignored the anxious Cao Jixiang and poured him a glass of wine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of toasting, he lowered his voice and said:

"But money makes the world go round. Your money played a crucial role."

"After all my efforts, I finally saved you from the brink of death."

"Besides that, I've also secured for you a chance to atone for your sins, so you don't have to suffer the hard labor of the laundry shop!"

Hearing that his life was finally saved, Cao Jixiang was so excited that he burst into tears.

He wanted to kneel on the ground and worship Li Changsheng as his adoptive father.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your great kindness. I, Cao Jixiang, will never forget it!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng quickly helped Cao Jixiang up.

"Eunuch Cao, what are you doing? Aren't you embarrassing me?"

"Come, drink, drink, it's all in the wine!"

"Yeah, it's all in the wine, it's all in the wine!"

Cao Jixiang responded excitedly, took the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

After three rounds of drinks, he suddenly remembered that Li Changsheng had said that he had given him a chance to atone for his sins, so he couldn't wait to ask about it.

"Eunuch Li, what did you just say about gaining an opportunity for our family to atone for their sins?"

Li Changsheng gathered his thoughts briefly and then briefly recounted the matter of His Majesty asking him to supervise the East Factory and rectify the discipline in the harem.

Of course, he didn't mention the Military Intelligence Bureau at all.

Cao Jixiang is indeed an old fox and he quickly realized the opportunity therein.

He quickly put himself into his new role, transformed himself into a beast of burden, and flattered his leader.

"I didn't expect that you, Eunuch Li, are the real hidden talent, and you are in the emperor's heart!"

At this moment, he was very glad that he treated Li Changsheng well on weekdays.

Otherwise, you will really lose your head this time.

Li Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "This is all thanks to your Majesty's high regard!"

"Besides, from now on, when I am in charge of the East Factory, I will have to rely on Eunuch Cao for his full support!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jixiang immediately expressed his willingness to follow Li Changsheng's lead and serve him wholeheartedly.

Li Changsheng said, "By the way, Eunuch Cao, I roughly counted your gold and silver, and it's a total of 126,000 taels."

"Of that, 120,000 yuan was used for activities, bribery, and building relationships."

Having said this, he lowered his voice again, moved closer to Cao Jixiang and said:

"Hey, Eunuch Cao, you don't know how shady things are in the Imperial City. It's even shadier than this prison!"

"Not to mention anything else, just bringing in all this wine and food cost me no less than a hundred taels of silver. And even for that I still have to beg and plead with everyone!"

When Cao Jixiang was in power, he had more or less dealt with the Imperial City Bureau.

They all deeply agreed with what Li Changsheng said.

After pouring out his bitter words, Li Changsheng continued:

"By the way, I've already given you all the remaining six thousand taels of silver you had and exchanged them for banknotes."

"As for me, I'm just a runner. With all the years of friendship we've had, it would be a bit awkward for me to take some hard work money from this."

As he spoke, he stuffed six thousand taels of silver into Cao Jixiang's hand.

Cao Jixiang was stunned when he saw that he could still see the silver.

I thought to myself, this Eunuch Li is such a kind man!

Of course, as an old fox who once dominated the harem.

He still understands the ways of the world.

"Eunuch Li, I cannot accept these banknotes. Consider them my token of my filial respect for you!"

After much push and pull, Li Changsheng took the silver back in the name of "supervising the East Factory".

However, he did not take them all.

He returned it to Cao Jixiang and left one thousand taels.

After all, one should be kind and not have a dark heart!

What's more, Cao Jixiang needs to be treated like a slave!

You can't just let the horse run.

But the horses are not allowed to eat grass.

After eating and drinking, Li Changsheng directly bailed Cao Jixiang out.

At the same time, more than 500 eunuchs and palace maids who were implicated in the Mu Zhong case were released on bail.

He planned to use these people to build up the makeshift team of the East Factory...
