Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Lin Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Cao Shaoqin from the East Factory.

"Eunuch Cao, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lin Fan stopped where he was and said with a smile.

Cao Shaoqin said, "Congratulations, Master Lin, you're getting promoted again."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Eunuch Cao's news is quite fast!"

Cao Shaoqin said, "To be honest with you, Lord Lin, I already have control over most of the people in the East Factory. Many of the eunuchs on duty in the palace are also my people."

Lin Fan's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Then I have to congratulate Eunuch Cao."

Cao Shaoqin smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, I can't be happy."

"Why is that?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

Cao Shaoqin said, "Recently, many ministers in the court have been urging Your Majesty to abolish the East Factory, and Liu Xi, the governor of the West Factory, has also been fanning the flames."

Lin Fan asked, "But what did the East Factory do to incur public outrage?"

Cao Shaoqin shook his head slightly. "That's not the case. It's just that a month ago, Cao Zhengchun's plot against Tiedan Shenhou failed, and he was killed by him instead."

"Many of the East Factory's experts died in that battle. The East Factory has now declined."

"I see," Lin Fan nodded slightly, then continued, "Besides that, has anything else happened in the capital recently?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqin immediately told Lin Fan everything that happened in the capital without hiding anything.

The situation was similar to what Lin Fan remembered. Zhu Wusi claimed that he had not disciplined his children properly and was imprisoned in place of Gui Hai Yidao.

Cao Zhengchun wanted to frame Zhu Wusi and captured Zhu Wusi's sweetheart Su Xin. He fed Su Xin the extremely poisonous Tiancan silkworm in order to obtain the files of the ten generals, but Zhu Wusi absorbed the Tiancan silkworm into his body.

Cao Zhengchun thought that Zhu Wusi had been poisoned by the Heavenly Silkworm and was already a piece of cake, but he never expected that he was rescued by someone, and in the end he died at the hands of Zhu Wusi.

In addition to Cao Zhengchun being killed by Zhu Wusi, Gui Hai Yidao's charges were also cleared by Zhu Wusi and Hulong Villa.

The Hulong Villa overwhelmed the East Factory in one fell swoop, and its power was unparalleled. Even the West Factory became conservative in front of the Hulong Villa.

"By the way, Eunuch Tingyu mentioned that Liu Xi, the governor of the Western Factory, seems to be preparing for something big recently and has arrested a lot of people." After talking about the Hulong Villa, Cao Shaoqin mentioned the Western Factory again.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I will keep an eye on the West Factory. As for the East Factory, you can rest assured. His Majesty will definitely not abolish it."

"I hope so." Cao Shaoqin felt a little relieved after hearing Lin Fan's words.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, has anything happened in the Jinyiwei?"

Cao Shaoqin said, "I heard that Song Jianren, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was found to have embezzled and accepted bribes for a huge amount of money. His property was confiscated and he was exiled."

"However, according to gossip, it is rumored that Song Jianren was originally Qian Ning's man, but he had a disagreement with Jiang Bin, so Jiang Bin got rid of him."

"Thank you. If there is nothing else, I will go back first and wait for the day when you take charge of the East Factory," Lin Fan said with a smile after listening.

Cao Shaoqin said, "I should be the one thanking Master Lin."

Lin Fan nodded, without saying anything more, and went straight out of the palace and returned home.

"Brother Lin, you're back!"

What Lin Fan didn't expect was that when he arrived at the door, he saw Jiang Yuyan waiting there.

"Yuyan, why are you outside?" Lin Fan greeted her with a smile and asked casually.

Jiang Yuyan said, "I was bored at home, so I came out to wait for Brother Lin. This way I could see him earlier."

"I'm sorry that you've been wronged during this period of time," Lin Fan smiled and pulled Jiang Yuyan into the mansion.

When Ah Zhu and Kan Kan saw Lin Fan coming back, they hurried to greet him.

That night, several people enjoyed the dinner prepared by Ah Zhu and Jiang Yuyan together, which gave them a warm feeling of home.

As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. After dinner, Lin Fan chatted with the three women for a while. After digesting the food, he returned to his room.

A short separation is better than a new marriage, a spring night is a drunken night.

The spring night is short and will end someday. Before you know it, it is the next morning.

With dark circles under her eyes, Kankan escorted Lin Fan out the door and said in a delicate voice, "Mr. Lin is truly amazing. He didn't even rest all night."

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "Life lies in exercise. Don't worry, I won't forget you."

After saying that, Lin Fan walked out of the mansion with a smile and headed towards the North Pacification Office.

As for Ah Zhu and Jiang Yuyan, they had just fallen asleep to catch up on their sleep.

Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Office to report in.

After the roll call, Lin Fan strolled around casually, then returned to his office, closed his eyes, breathed, and gathered his energy... to gather his strength.

"Sir, there is an imperial decree from the palace!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Meng suddenly came to Lin Fan's office and reminded Lin Fan.

"Oh? You're here quite early," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, "Come on, follow me to receive the imperial edict."

Soon, all the Jinyiwei of the Northern Pacification Division gathered together and listened respectfully to the eunuch reading out the imperial edict.

The content of the decree was similar to what Emperor Zhu Shou told Lin Fan. Lin Fan was directly promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief, and also received a jade ruyi and ten thousand taels of silver.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Fan took the imperial edict and the rewards brought by the eunuch.

"Congratulations, Master Lin!"

The leading eunuch handed the imperial edict to Lin Fan and congratulated him with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Lin Fan thanked him and calmly gave him some local specialties.

The eunuch's smile suddenly became more sincere.

After watching the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict leave, all the Jinyiwei in the Northern Pacification Office congratulated Lin Fan.

"What are you all doing here? Don't you have anything to do?"

Suddenly, a slightly majestic rebuke sounded in everyone's ears.

It was Jiang Bin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who had arrived here at some point in time.

Hearing Jiang Bin's scolding, everyone quickly dispersed.

"Lin Fan, come with me," Jiang Bin looked at Lin Fan deeply and said lightly after the others left.

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly. He first returned to his office, put the jade ruyi, silver, and imperial edict into the system space, and then went to find Jiang Bin.

"I wonder what instructions Lord Jiang has?" After seeing Jiang Bin, Lin Fan asked with a fist salute.

Jiang Bin stared at Lin Fan for a while, his eyes shifting. After a while, he said, "I heard that you obtained the rare martial arts book, the Secret of Immortality, in the Sui Kingdom?"

"Yes," Lin Fan nodded in response. There was no need to lie or hide anything.

Jiang Bin's expression was somewhat grim as he asked, "Why didn't you report to me about your trip to Sui State to look for the Secret of Immortality? It would have been fine if you didn't report, but after you came back, why didn't you send the Secret of Immortality to me?"
