The Western Factory founded by Lu Yun was indeed very efficient. In just two days, it successfully found the murderer, who was an official from the Ministry of Rites!
As for the woman disguised as a fox demon, she was actually a ninth-rank master. This ninth-rank master had long since disappeared, but the Western Factory had issued a wanted order.
Therefore, even if this ninth-grade master escapes to all corners of the world, they will try their best to capture him.
Of course, these are all pretenses. In fact, the real fox demon is right next to Lu Yun.
It's just a matter of finding someone to take the blame.
The ministers in the court did not know about this. Although some people guessed it, they did not dare to ask about it out of curiosity.
How could they ask? They really couldn't.
Anyway, as long as the emperor approves, as long as the people approve, as long as they know that it is someone pretending to be someone else, it's fine.
On this day, in the main hall.
Liang Jing praised Lu Yun to the ministers and said, "My dear ministers, you should have seen that Eunuch Lu is very efficient. He found the real murderer in no time!"
"I've said it before, there are no such things as fox demons or fairies in this world.
They were all pretending to be someone, and now their true colors have been exposed!"
"You should all have seen the real situation."
The ministers present looked at each other and started to flatter him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu is indeed amazing!"
"The Western Factory founded by Eunuch Lu is a gathering place for talented people. It is also a great benefit to our Great Zhou!"
"That's right! Eunuch Lu is absolutely a top-notch talent."
"Eunuch Lu is amazing! The West Factory was able to catch the murderer in such a short time. It seems that the West Factory must be entrusted with an important task!"
This really touched the hearts of both of them!
Liang Jing immediately waved his hand and announced to the ministers present: "Everyone, I have figured this matter out."
"Let's put it this way. The West Factory has made great contributions this time. I think it should be entrusted with important tasks!"
"Lu Yun stepped forward and listened to the seal!"
Lu Yun hurried forward, looking excited, "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Lu Yun, your West Factory is very important to me. It will be my eyes and help me do many things."
"Well, I need you to expand the power of the Western Factory under your command and let more talents join the Western Factory to become my eyes."
"I hope your people can lurk throughout the capital, becoming everyone, so that the enemy or those who have second thoughts about me will not be able to see them."
"I also hope that you, the people from the Western Factory, can go to every corner of the Great Zhou and monitor everyone!
It's like a unique intelligence network that can bring back all the information for me to know."
"I grant you permission to operate your Western Factory without going through any accountability procedures within the three provinces and six ministries."
"You can do whatever you want! This is a promise, a special permission granted by the emperor. I hope you understand."
Lu Yun shouted respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to my mission and make the West Factory flourish. I will make it your Majesty's eyes and your true arm!"
After the two men's performance, some ministers present also came to their senses!
They were wondering why the emperor suddenly set up the Western Factory.
You know, if the emperor wanted to investigate the case, if he wanted to find out the murderer behind the scenes, he could have relied on the power of Jingzhao Prefecture instead of suddenly setting up a Western Factory.
When Lu Yun investigated the affairs of the general and General Xiao He, he simply used the power of Jingzhao Prefecture, so it is completely possible this time as well.
But the emperor did not do so. Instead, he acted independently and set up a special agency to let Lu Yun investigate the case.
It feels like the two of them had already discussed it in advance, so that's why they showed up.
Liang Jing has elevated the Western Factory to a very high position, after hearing what he just said.
Many ministers were terrified.
If he really hides and becomes the spy of many people, including the emperor's spy, then there will be no secrets in the court.
For these ministers, everything they say will be spread out, and everything they do will be known to others.
Then they would have no secrets! They would have no privacy at all.
This is the most terrifying thing. If they even secretly curse the emperor in private, it is possible that others will find out. This is disastrous.
All of a sudden, those who had just flattered him regretted it, and they even felt that they were really mean.
"Your Majesty! That's probably inappropriate. Why give the Western Factory such great privileges?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just a small Western Field, and the one in charge is a eunuch. Although we all respect Eunuch Lu very much, this force is indeed inappropriate."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we all think this is a bit too much!"
“…”
Liang Jing listened to the conversations in the court without any fear or worry about what they said. Instead, he watched their performance calmly.
This was all within expectations. When they had almost finished speaking, Liang Jing waved his hand and questioned them.
"My dear ministers, what's wrong? There's a saying that goes, 'If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.' I know that the power of the Western Factory is indeed very great!
But if you have done nothing wrong, why are you afraid?"
"I think each of you has something to hide, feeling that you have wronged me, so you think and say this."
"Alright, the West Factory has this right as my eyes, and I won't easily change the West Factory's affairs. If you continue to talk, I won't change it either."
Seeing that the little emperor was so determined to have his own way, the ministers were too embarrassed to say anything. They could only say awkwardly that this matter was very bad at the moment.
I don’t know whether the Western Factory can do what the emperor just said.
Many people had doubts in their minds, because they felt that it would be a bit difficult to have all these spies hidden everywhere suddenly appear to serve the emperor.
Maybe the little emperor was just talking nonsense and this matter would definitely not be done perfectly.
After the meeting, the ministers were all whispering to each other.
They were also worried that they would not dare to speak loudly after the court was dismissed.
Liang Jing was also very happy. She hadn't seen sadness on the faces of these ministers for a long time.
I guess the matter of the Western Factory made them all very worried. They were all very scared and anxious.
