Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 349 is outrageous
Gu Dayong and Qiu Ju were almost suffocated when they heard Pei Yuan's rude request.

One of them is the head of the West Factory, and the other is the former head of the East Factory. Both of them were castrated at the age of five or six. How could they listen to this?
Throughout the Zhengde reign, this bastard was the first person to invite the two eunuchs to watch the ceremony of taking a concubine.

Pei Yuan saw that the two were slightly angry, so he quickly reminded Gu Dayong, "Eunuch Gu, you promised me this."

Qiu Ju looked at Gu Dayong in disbelief.

Are you losing your mind, Dayong?

Gu Dayong also remembered what happened, and could only say to Qiu Ju awkwardly, "He married Jiao Fang's granddaughter, and she has some kind of relationship with us."

Pei Yuan gave an explanation, "It's not very convenient for me to take her with me when I leave the capital this time. If I stay in the capital, I'm worried that my enemies will keep an eye on me. With the two of you, I feel more at ease."

Qiu Ju pondered for a moment, then asked another question, "The Censorate impeached Jiao Fang a few days ago. Is there any follow-up?"

Gu Dayong said, "The emperor ignored this, Jiao Fang still did some hard work."

Pei Yuan saw that Qiu Ju was a little worried and thought of Li Shishi who had just entered.

So he asked, "Did you see the new Right Censor-in-Chief just now?"

Both of them were well-informed and asked, "The one just now, that was Li Shishi from Nanjing?"

Pei Yuan said, "Last time I heard from His Majesty that he was planning to use Li Shishi to take charge of the affairs of the Censorate. Now that Left Censor-in-Chief Hong Zhong is recuperating at home, this Li Shishi is actually the head of the Censorate."

"Then maybe I can invite him here. Then the two eunuchs won't have to worry about the court having any rumors about Jiao Fang."

"What?" The two were shocked.

The Censorate is a noble government office for the censors, and the Chief Censor of the Censorate is the most upright of the upright.

This damned guy and the eunuch party Jinyiwei are the two extremes of Ming Dynasty politics.

Pei Yuan's words were outrageous.

Could it be that a clean figure has emerged among the Jinyiwei?
Gu Dayong, a member of the eunuch party who could not go back, immediately asked, "How did you know him?"

Facing the gazes of the two eunuchs, Pei Yuan answered frankly, "Just now."

After that, he added handsomely and confidently, "I don't know why, but I think he might give me this face."

Gu Dayong and Qiu Ju both felt some discomfort in their stomachs.

Qiu Ju sighed, and said, "Forget it, forget it. Don't make such a fuss. We have to give Jiao Fang face. We can discuss the Shandong issue later."

The three of them chatted briefly outside the hall, and in order to avoid being seen, they had to part in a hurry.

Pei Yuan took the two confused centurions to the palace gate, changed their badges, and left the palace.

Afterwards, Pei Yuan had to do some confidential work, so he changed his followers.

Tan Tai Fang Tu and Si Kong Sui each returned to their own centurions, while Pei Yuan took Chen Toutie, Chen Xinjian and Cen Meng to see Tian Fu.

Before meeting Tian Fu this time, Pei Yuan still had someone buy some wine and food.

Now it’s time for him and Tian Fengchu to enter a new mode of getting along.

When they arrived at the house rented by Tian Fu, Chen Toutie went forward and knocked on the door. When the person inside heard that Captain Pei was here to visit, Tian Fu took the initiative to go to the door to greet him.

Pei Yuan laughed and walked in hand in hand with Tian Fu.

Then he subconsciously looked at the desk in front of Tian Fu's window, and seeing another stack of manuscripts, he walked forward.

These are Tian Fu's practice works, some of which are just outlines of the topic, while others are written in full.

Pei Yuan was not polite and directly put the money into his sleeve and said to Tian Fu, "I'll use it to help you get some money. I guarantee you a chance to become a Jinshi this year."

After hearing this, Tian Fu bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Master."

He was in a very calm mood. Now that he was on board Pei Yuan's ship, his future would naturally be left to him to arrange.

Pei Yuan looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon, so he didn't hesitate to have someone serve wine and food.

Then he said, "Chen Toutie stays here to accompany us, and the others guard the gate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Toutie smiled and threw the Embroidered Spring Sword on his body to Chen Xinjian, then went to the table to help pour wine.

Tian Fu felt a little panicked.

He thought to himself, here it comes, the real purpose is finally revealed.

I just don't know what this audacious Captain Pei will say to me.

Is it "The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established", or "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?"
Tian Fu sat down somewhat nervously.

Although he had been anticipating the situation he would encounter today these days, he still felt a little uneasy when it really happened.

Pei Yuan was not in a hurry to talk about business. After Chen Toutie finished pouring the wine, everyone else left.

Then he raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, let's drink one first."

Tian Fu hurriedly raised his cup and clinked it with Pei Yuan's. Chen Touti was afraid to drink wine as he had the duty of guarding, so he took out some tea and drank it.

Pei Yuan ate some food and saw that Tian Fu looked dazed and had no appetite, so he knew what was on Tian Fu's mind.

Pei Yuan had nothing to hide, so he said, "I do have some use for you."

Tian Fu let out a long breath.

Pei Yuan's straightforward words made Tian Fu let go of all his fantasies and worries.

Tian Fu seemed to be angry. He suddenly drank a glass of wine. After coughing for a while, he said calmly, "Sir, please tell me. Tian will obey you in everything."

This is a ruthless man who brought the head of the cabinet minister's son to himself.

How could Tian Fu afford to provoke such a ruthless person?

What's more, Tian Fu himself was implicated in Liang Ci's death and he couldn't get rid of it at all.

It can be said that he can only be tied to Pei Yuan for the rest of his life.

Pei Yuan asked him, "Do you remember the memorial I asked you to write for me last time? The one about Luojiao?"

Tian Fu had a good memory, and he immediately replied, "I remember it vividly."

Pei Yuan said, "His Majesty has seen it. He is very wary of the spread of Luojiao in Shandong and has ordered me to go to Shandong to deal with this matter strictly."

"Those in charge of this matter also include the Western Factory's Admiral Gu Dayong, the Eastern Factory's Admiral Qiu Ju, and the Southern Grand Marshal Wang Chang, who will soon be transferred to the post of Governor of Shandong."

Tian Fu listened to Pei Yuan's words and thought quickly in his mind. He didn't know why Pei Yuan said all this to him.

Pei Yuan took a bite of the dish calmly, and Tian Fu followed suit and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks.

Then Pei Yuan said, "But this Luo Sect is fake and doesn't even exist."

"Ah?" Tian Fu was so shocked that the food on his chopsticks hung on the table. "Isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Thinking that the memorial was written by himself, Tian Fu was so scared that his face turned pale.

Tian Fu's family was just an ordinary landlord family. Although they were fairly well-off, they were only a small fish in the entire social system. They had no ability to resist the county magistrate who ruined their family and the prefect who wiped out their family, let alone deceiving the emperor.

In his heart, the emperor is still full of majesty and sacredness.

If Pei Yuan wanted to make use of this guy to a greater extent, it was necessary to remove those filters from him in time.

Pei Yuan said to him lightly, "Don't worry. The emperor is just a pair of eyes and ears. If you cover them, they will be no different from the blind and deaf."

Pei Yuan's attitude shocked Tian Fu so much that he opened his mouth slightly and was speechless.

This small thousand households are so domineering.

Pei Yuan leaned forward slightly, staring at Tian Fu without blinking, and said slowly, "Don't worry. The governor of the West Factory, Gu Dayong, the governor of the East Factory, Qiu Ju, and the Grand Marshal of the South, Wang Chang, they..."

"They are all mine."

Pei Yuan had a strong body. When half of his body leaned forward, he looked like a bear, leaning over the table, full of oppression.

However, this feeling of oppression was far less shocking than the words from the thousand-householder's mouth, which made Tian Fu feel even more shocked.

The East and West Factories were the most powerful weapons for the emperor to monitor both the inside and the outside. Countless high-ranking officials and nobles were frightened when they heard the names of the East Factory and the West Factory.

The Minister of War in Nanjing is a powerful figure who holds military power and is in charge of the southeast.

Pei Yuan, a fifth-rank captain, actually dared to claim that these three were his men.

Even with Tian Fu's intelligence and knowledge, he felt that his brain was a little out of order and he had no idea what he was thinking.

Pei Yuan smiled at him and said, "Look, it's easy for me to make the emperor deaf and blind. Because of the memorial you wrote to me, even the Grand Secretary Liang Chu, whom you hate, told the emperor about the Luo Sect in Shandong."

Tian Fu was even more stunned.

Many of the inherent concepts in his mind were shattered under the powerful impact.

Tian Fu instinctively refused to believe it, but then he thought of the head of Liang Ciwu that Pei Yuan brought.

The son of a cabinet minister was killed along with hundreds of people at the post station, including more than a hundred garrison soldiers.

And just as the whole capital was in shock and the three courts were at a loss, the man who had done this came leisurely carrying the head and bringing it to him.

Tian Fu thought about what Pei Yuan said at that time.

At that time, Pei Yuan seemed to say that he was sending Liang Ci's head to him because he valued his talent. He also told himself that the tactics of the strategists, such as talking nonsense and deceiving others, were not worth mentioning, and his own ability was worthy of his willingness to do so.

At that time, Tian Fu just thought Pei Yuan was a lunatic.

But now think about it.

If Pei Yuan...

If Pei Yuan was not a madman, but was really so powerful, then how sincere must he be to kill the grand scholar's son to please him?

Tian Fu stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking for a long time.

Pei Yuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

Tian Fu came back to his senses, with a very interesting expression on his face. He looked at Pei Yuan and said hesitantly, "Then, what did the captain come to see me about?"

Pei Yuan said, "I've thought about it carefully. The existence of Luojiao means a lot to me, so I plan to make it happen. However, it's not an easy task to create such a cult that spreads throughout Shandong and both sides of the canal, so I plan to take advantage of the situation."

Pei Yuan explained to Tian Fu in detail how he planned to create a Luo sect out of thin air.

Tian Fu's heart was filled with astonishment when he heard the method that seemed to create something out of nothing.

He learned the methods of the diplomats since he was young, thinking that with his own abilities, even if he could not establish unprecedented achievements like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, he would be able to look down on other people and look down on mediocre people.

He didn't expect that this Jinyi Captain, who had been so low-key in front of him before, actually had such means.

If what he said was true, with the two factory governors and the help of the Shandong governor, then the chess game in Shandong would be accomplished in an instant.

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, Tian Fu's lips moved, and he couldn't help but said with conviction, "Qian Hu is a natural talent, and I am not as good as him."

Pei Yuan laughed, still behaving as superficially and recklessly as Tian Fu had seen him before.

He pointed at Chen Toutie and said, "Come, meet him. This is the leader of the Luo Sect that I chose."

Chen Toutie chuckled and offered a cup of tea in greeting.

Tian Fu hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank with Chen Toutie.

After Pei Yuan and the other two finished drinking, he gave Tian Fu the task, "Although I have made thorough preparations for the Luo Sect, I still lack a detailed outline and multiple teachings to explain my views. I am not confident in leaving this matter to others."

As he spoke, Pei Yuan glanced at Tian Fu.

Tian Fu didn't dare to refuse, but just said, "But I don't understand these things."

Pei Yuan asked with a smile, "You must have heard of Journey to the West."

Tian Fu replied, "I've heard some."

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "That's fine."

Pei Yuan pointed at Chen Toutie and said, "This Luojiao leader is the incarnation of the Monkey King. We are deceiving some fools, so don't think too much about it. Smart people don't believe this anyway."

He added, "In a few days, I will send you a Taoist priest with some cultivation and a temple abbot. You can talk to them more and learn from their strengths."

Tian Fu has already been involved in this crime. What else can he say? He can only bite the bullet and take on this matter.

Pei Yuan advised, "Be sure to be more attentive. When you go to Shandong, you can go with Chen Toutie. Let him arrange a position for you in Luo Sect, then, then..."

Pei Yuan thought about it and said with a smile, "Let's just have a big sacrifice to cure the head."

Tian Fu was a little panicked when he heard this. He asked hurriedly, "What about my subordinate's Enke?"

As a traditional scholar, he still hopes to pursue a proper official career. What's the point of being a high priest in a cult?

Pei Yuan assured Tian Fu, "Don't worry. The imperial examination this time can only be started after the rebellion in Bazhou is pacified."

"You work hard for me in Shandong. If you do a good job, I can try to get Lu Ting and Liu Qi to slow down a little and wait for you. You work for me, I can't let you suffer any loss."

"This thousand households have always protected their own people."

Tian Fu heard something different in Pei Yuan's words, and he suspected it was a grammatical error.

Tian Fu swallowed his saliva and asked, "Captain, who are the Lu Ting and Liu Qi you were talking about?"

"Oh." Pei Yuan explained patiently, "Lu Ting is the eunuch in charge of military affairs who is in charge of the Beijing Army and the border troops to suppress the rebellion. He obeys my orders."

"Liu Qi, don't you know Liu Qi? He's the thief commander of Bazhou."

Tian Fu couldn't help holding his breath for a while, then he asked, "What about Liu Qi and you..."

Pei Yuan smiled.

"Coincidentally, he also obeys my orders."
