Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

This official has only one request: the more you work, the more you get; the less you work, the less you get; and no work, no reward. Those who don't want to work, are afraid of offending others, and hide when encountering problems are not within the scope of reward! "

"One percent?"

Dong Tianbao was secretly shocked. That must be tens of millions of taels of silver. "Sir, isn't 10% too much?"

"Is it much?"

Song Xuan smiled. "Brothers, you risked your lives to work for you. What is it for? I don't like to talk nonsense. Honor and loyalty are too illusory. Money is the most practical thing!"

Chapter 312 Thank God, Song Yanei is finally gone

Song Xuan scoffed at the wolf culture advocated in his previous life.

Wolves eat meat, but you don't even want to give them a blade of grass, and you keep promoting wolf culture all day long. I'm a wolf to you!

He was also a worker in his previous life, so he naturally understood what his subordinates wanted.

If you can't give them official positions, then give them money, real money. You don't need to promote wolf culture, the people below will turn themselves into warrior wolves.

For example, at this moment, Dong Tianbao was excited.

In terms of rewards for achievements, Dong Tianbao would definitely be at the top of the list. For every penny of silver he got, he would get at least hundreds of thousands, which was enough to buy a large manor in the city.

Moreover, this silver is clean. It is the reward money given by the Inspector General based on merit. You can spend it with peace of mind and there is no need to worry at all.

He would be willing to work like a slave for the rest of his life if he follows such an adult!

Dong Tianbao wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth excitedly, and subconsciously glanced at the adult's tall figure, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Sir, is this really a reward based on merit?

Are you raising a group of assassins?

I dare not say about other places, but in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, from now on, as long as the adults give the order, even if the king of heaven comes, the brothers in the Qianhu Suo Yamen will dare to draw their knives and rush forward.

"As for the remaining money, it is all the people's blood and sweat. We should try our best to find out the source and return it if necessary!

If there are any left, seal the warehouse. Anyone who moves without my order will be killed!"

Song Xuan stared at Dong Tianbao and said, "I don't ask you to be incorruptible and plead for the people, but at least, you have to be worthy of your official uniform and be a human being!

I hope you can remember this sentence!"

Dong Tianbao knelt on one knee and said, "I will remember your teachings, sir, and will not dare to disappoint you!"

"No need to kneel down all the time. That's not the norm here!"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go down and do your work!"

"I resign from my humble position!"

Watching Dong Tianbao leave, Song Xuan was silent for a moment.

He is indeed very optimistic about this person. If he is used well, he will be a man who gets things done.

After being in the Xuanyiwei system for so long, this was the first time that Song Xuan had spoken so much to a subordinate. He used both kindness and force and did everything he should do. He hoped that this guy would not let him down.

Song Xuan stayed in the Qianhu Suo Yamen for more than half a month.

During this period, he sat in the center and continued to deepen the special operation to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil. The Xuanyi Guards joined forces with the yamen runners and constables in the prefectural city and the county city to expand the scope of the crackdown to the villages and towns.

With Song Xuan's methods, he would naturally kill people in droves at the command of a single word. For a time, the atmosphere in Sichuan and Chongqing changed, and the people were all delighted, encouraged, and applauded.

The case of rebellion against the Sichuan and Chongqing prefects and Captain Gao Changlin has also been concluded, with sufficient evidence of their crimes. After Song Xuan wrote a memorial and submitted it to the Imperial Capital Inspection Office, he began to feel like leaving.

Before leaving, Song Xuan once again called Dong Tianbao, the deputy captain, into the study.

"I can't stay here for too long. It's time to leave!"

Dong Tianbao had already expected this, but he was still reluctant to let go. After all, he felt insecure when such a powerful backer left.

"Sir, after you leave, if the governor intervenes, how should I handle this?"

"After I leave, everything will continue as it was before." Song Xuan stared at him. "Remember, you are a Black Guard, the highest-ranking officer of this Thousand Households Division. The orders of the prefects, the governors, and other local officials have nothing to do with you!

If you are unable to do so, please report to the Imperial Capital's Xuanyiwei Yamen immediately."

Song Xuan looked at him meaningfully, "This time, I'm just here for a formality, but next time, it won't be just that!"

Dong Tianbao was shocked.

They killed a prefect as a formality, and killed countless people in Sichuan and Chongqing. If they come for real next time, won’t they target the governor as well?

At this moment, Dong Tianbao's heart was burning with passion.

If he could get the evidence of the governor's guilt before you, wouldn't he be able to take the lead and get the main credit?

If a provincial governor is removed, wouldn't the position of a thousand households in a prefecture be a foregone conclusion?

Even though he is now a deputy captain, a deputy is still just a deputy after all. If he doesn't have the support of a noble person, he may be stuck at this level for the rest of his life.

.....

a few days later.

The provincial capital, the governor's residence.

Zhao Kuangyin sat in the main seat, looking at the civil and military officials. Among them, Gao Changlin, the captain wanted by the Xuanyiwei, was also sitting on the side.

"Sir, please make the decision for me!"

Gao Changlin cried bitterly, "I didn't do anything. I didn't even dare to see him, and yet my family is gone. I'm also charged with treason. This Song guy is really too ruthless!"

Someone echoed, "This young master surnamed Song may not be very old, but his methods are quite cruel. He kills people without leaving any chance of survival.

Even if we act like grandsons in front of this kind of person, it will probably be of no use."

"Yes!"

A general stood up and said, "My Lord Governor, it's time for you to make a decision. If you can't come forward, I will handle this matter.

I just don't believe it. With hundreds of thousands of troops besieging him and several Grandmasters blocking his way, even if this guy had three heads and six arms, he would still be outmatched!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked calm and didn't say anything. There were some things he was not comfortable saying directly, so he glanced at Zhao Guangyi, signaling him to speak first.

Zhao Guangyi coughed and snorted coldly, "All he knows is fighting and killing. Killing him is not difficult, but what about the family power behind him?

Don't forget, the Xuanyiwei family is standing behind him!

Some things should be done secretly and not openly, so that there is still room for maneuver.

But hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched, and you said that out loud. Such a big movement could not be concealed at all. If it were to get to the imperial capital, do you really think that the grandmaster of the Xuanyiwei family is just a decoration?

The army surrounded and killed the Inspector of the Black Guard. This is a real rebellion. Even the emperor would not dare to challenge the bottom line of the Black Guard family in this way! "

Gao Changlin said with a sad face, "What should we do? The Song guy wants to kill us. We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

Zhao Guangyi chuckled, "Look at how cowardly you all are. I've received the latest news that Song Xuan left Songzhou a few days ago.

I've told you a long time ago that this Song Yanei is just here to gain experience. Now that he has solved a big case and gained enough credit, he naturally won't keep an eye on you anymore.

Okay, relax a little, eat when you should, drink when you should, take concubines when you should. As long as the emperor is alive, the Xuanyi Guards will eventually have to be cautious, and our good life will not be affected.

However, I still have to give you a reminder.

This time it was Song Yanei who came to gain experience, next time it might be Li Yanei, Gao Yanei or someone like that. This time Zheng Qian took the blame for everyone, it’s hard to say who will be the next one to come.

When you get back, clean up your mess and clean up all the messes you've made. Don't let anyone catch you with anything!"

.....

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale. "Brother, I always feel that sooner or later we will be implicated by this bunch of rubbish. They know too much!"

Zhao Kuangyin hummed, "It's better to be prepared than to deal with it early!

Remember, do it discreetly!"

Chapter 313 Yao Yue: As long as I extend the time, he will not be considered to have broken the appointment

"Snowing!"

In Yihua Palace, Yao Yue finished her daily practice and stood on the corridor outside the palace, watching the falling snow with a soft look in her eyes.

Sunny days are suitable for meeting, snowy days are suitable for missing each other.

Snow is falling in one place, and there is longing between two people. I wonder if my sweetheart is thinking of me at this moment?

"sister!"

Lian Xing, dressed in a purple dress, walked up to her, looked at the vast expanse of white snowflakes in the sky, and whispered, "Those old guys are making a fuss again, clamoring for an explanation from me."

"statement?"

Yao Yue sneered, "Then let them come over, I'll give them an explanation!"

"You're not going to kill them all, are you?" Lian Xing hesitated. "Those are all veteran masters over a hundred years old. They are also the foundation of my Yihua Palace. They are all your dowry."

Yao Yue was silent for a moment.

"Got it, call them over!"

Not long after, several old women with wrinkled faces were brought out of the palace by Lian Xing.

These people are all very old, and each of them looks like an old tree root that is about to wither, but they are all dressed in fancy clothes, with flowers and swords embroidered on their clothes, and the word "slave" branded on their collars.

"Palace Master!"

These people are the flower slaves of Yihua Palace.

In Yihua Palace, one is either the Palace Master or the Young Palace Master. Apart from that, even a martial arts master can only be a flower slave or a sword slave.

Hundreds of years of palace rules have long made them have a deep respect for superiors and subordinates.

Even though they were screaming happily outside, they were still instinctively scared when they were in front of Yao Yue.

Even if they are martial arts masters!

When they arrived, they first bowed to Yao Yue, then looked at each other before mustering the courage to look up at her. "Palace Master, we old servants have come here only to seek an answer."

Yao Yue looked at the vast expanse of white snow between heaven and earth and said indifferently, "What answers do you want?"

The old woman in the lead hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "We were in seclusion before, so many things were unclear. But now that we're out, we want to know how the old Palace Master died."

Yao Yue smiled slightly, "Master is already two hundred years old. Isn't death a normal thing?"

"But...but the old Palace Master is different!"

"What's the difference?" Yao Yue stared at her with a cold glint in her eyes. "Are you trying to say that she has a special method to prolong her life and can live forever, right?"

The old woman swallowed and instinctively took a step back. She sensed danger from Yao Yue, a dangerous aura that was just like the panic she felt when she faced the old Palace Master.

"It seems you know a lot!"

Yao Yue chuckled, "In that case, there's no need to hide it.

Frankly speaking, my master wanted to use me as a furnace to prolong his life, but he ended up dying from the backlash. Two hundred years of his cultivation had become a waste of my time.

Are you satisfied with this answer?"

The old ladies looked at each other in surprise.

They were not surprised by the result, but they did not expect that the young new palace master would not even pretend and directly admitted it!

What does it mean to admit it directly?

They were all elderly people who had lived for hundreds of years, so how could they not understand the logic behind this? This meant that even if they fell out, the new Palace Master Yao Yue was absolutely sure that he could kill them all!

This is the most frightening thing.

Yao Yue crossed her arms and looked at them with a smile, "I, Yao Yue, will inherit the position of Palace Master of Yihua Palace. Do you have any objections?"

Several old ladies hurriedly shook their heads, "Palace Master, please don't misunderstand me. We just want to find out the reason.

If the old palace master died at the hands of an outsider, she would naturally need revenge.

But since he died at your hands, Palace Master, that is the normal inheritance of your lineage. We are just flower slaves, how dare we have any opinions?"

"Since you have no objection, then leave!"

Yaoyue was losing interest as the old ladies here were an eyesore and disturbing her enjoyment of the snow.

The few of them bowed and left again. After they left, Lian Xing let out a sigh of relief, "I thought there would be a fight."

"There's no way we can fight!"
