"If our Imperial Guard can capture this person, wouldn't we gain face before His Majesty?"
Yang Sheng, who was below, shook his head slightly upon hearing this.
Eunuch Han was, after all, a powerful and influential figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It turns out that his desire to arrest members of the Great Bright Cult was merely to gain favor with the emperor, rather than to gather information to quell the rebellion—this is simply laughable.
If all the people in the Great Zhou court were truly like this, then let alone guaranteeing that the emperor wouldn't die within three months, he couldn't even be sure if the Great Zhou would be destroyed within three months!
Eunuch Han glanced around and said calmly, "Who among you is willing to go on this mission?"
The numerous captains and clerks present looked at each other, but none of them uttered a sound.
They would certainly be willing to take on such a lucrative task as confiscating the property of a high-ranking official, as the profits would be substantial.
However, capturing members of the Great Brightness Cult alive is a thankless and arduous task that they are not inclined to take on.
At this moment, Yang Sheng suddenly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "I am new here and have only been able to get this position today because of your trust in me, Your Excellency."
At this moment, since my father-in-law has given the order, I, of course, have no choice but to obey!
Upon hearing this, the other captains looked at Yang Sheng with a strange expression, and then sneered inwardly.
This newcomer just loves to be high-profile; you'll regret it later!
Eunuch Han nodded in satisfaction and snorted, "You all need to learn something. You've all been in the Guardian Division for so long and you've all become so slick. What use are you to us?"
Yang Sheng is new here and doesn't have many men under his command. He might suffer if he goes alone.
Li Yuanlin, I heard you recently swindled a large sum of money from the Vice Minister of Revenue, and you're living a very comfortable life.
"Don't just sit there, come with Yang Sheng on this trip."
Li Yuanlin was a man in his thirties with a small mustache, who looked very shrewd.
Since Eunuch Han had personally named him, he dared not object. He could only stand up with a seemingly obedient but actually reluctant expression and say, "Your subordinate obeys."
However, when Li Yuanlin sat down, he looked at Yang Sheng with a face full of dissatisfaction.
If Yang Sheng hadn't made such a big fuss, Eunuch Han wouldn't have noticed him.
Even if he were to be selected from among more than twenty Imperial Guard Captains, it might not be his turn.
Yang Sheng ignored all of that and went back to instruct Yin Wuxie and the others to prepare for action.
