Chapter 210: East Factory, West Factory, Royal Guards, this is the time when the human race shines!
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

It's winter now.

So Tokyo is not hot.

At this moment, in the Guifan Tower of Wuyou Cave in Tokyo City, Tong Guan stared coldly at the people in front of him.

He was surrounded by eunuchs from the Imperial City Bureau, who were the backbone of the Western Factory he founded.

The Imperial City Administration was originally an institution directly under the emperor, but the current emperor Zhao Xu did not personally rule the country and had no access to the power of the Imperial City Administration.

The palace was filled with Empress Dowager Gao's people, and Zhao Xu was isolated from the outside world.

Even when Zhao Xu spoke during court meetings, the old party ministers ignored him and treated him as if he were air.

Zhao Xu was embarrassed several times and gradually stopped talking.

Empress Dowager Gao asked Zhao Xu what he thought, and Zhao Xu could only say that it was entirely up to Her Majesty.

Zhao Xu had a clear understanding of his own position. Before the death of Empress Dowager Gao, he was just a puppet emperor. Even though he got married this year and made Meng his empress, Empress Dowager Gao had no intention of giving up power.

Empress Dowager Gao did not like the Imperial City Bureau, and she had been frail and sickly in recent years, so she had no time to manage the Imperial City Bureau.

The funding of the Imperial City Administration was actually insufficient. The reason why it was still able to support itself before was because Li Xian was suspected to be too loyal. He struggled to maintain the framework of the Imperial City Administration and was ready to hand over the entire Imperial City Administration to Zhao Xu when Zhao Xu took power in order to strengthen Zhao Xu's power.

The previous salaries of the Imperial City Bureau were paid by Li Xian himself. For a eunuch who should have been happy to make money to do this, it can be seen that he is truly loyal to the Song Dynasty.

After Li Xian's death, Tong Guan took over the precarious Imperial City Administration and used Murong Fu's money to pay the salaries of the staff of the Imperial City Administration.

As we all know, you work for whom you are paid.

The treatment was improved, and Tong Guan had learned the true teachings of Li Xian and was quite proficient in the Sunflower Manual, so the Imperial City Division was quickly conquered by Tong Guan.

Recently, Tong Guan asked the people of the Imperial City Bureau to pay homage to Mingzun, and selected the people in the Imperial City Bureau who were truly loyal to him, and established the Western Factory according to Murong Fu's order.

However, Tong Guan felt that the West Factory was short of manpower and could not match Sikong Xuan's East Factory, which had absorbed the power of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands and was naturally very powerful. So Tong Guan had an idea and directly attacked Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower.

Tokyo is a big city with a population of one million. Its underground drainage system is very complicated and is home to a large number of low-level villains. Citizens call this place Wuyoudong.

These low-level villains usually committed crimes in Tokyo City, trafficking women and children. The place where they hid the women was called Guifanlou.

There is a Fanlou on the ground, which is the first of the 72 restaurants in Tokyo. It is three stories high and is considered majestic in that era, almost as tall as the imperial palace. It is a social place for dignitaries and literati.

The Gui Fanlou means "Fanlou in the underworld", which corresponds to the Fanlou on the ground.

Fanlou represents the prosperity of Tokyo and the brilliance of Song Dynasty’s culture and entertainment.

Guifan Tower represents the evil hidden among the people and the bottomless darkness of the Song Dynasty.

The government cracks down on the Guifanlou every year, but the effect is not great, because Tokyo's sewers are complicated and it is very dangerous to enter if you are not familiar with the terrain.

Moreover, most of the time, Gui Fanlou only targeted poor people, and the government turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything.

Tong Guan was in charge of the Imperial City Division, so he naturally knew the secrets of Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower. He knew that there were quite a lot of people here, so it was a good opportunity to subdue them and make them a peripheral force of the Western Factory.

So, Tong Guan personally led the team, explored inch by inch, and figured out the situation of the entire Wuyou Cave. He was also decisive in killing and took off the heads of several owners of Guifan Tower.

Almost one-third of the bandits in Wuyou Cave were ruthlessly killed by Tong Guan. He was extremely cruel. Although these bandits were brutal, they were not even a fraction as cruel as him.

As a result, the citizens of Tokyo unexpectedly discovered that the public security in the city had inexplicably improved.

By today, the bandits of Guifanlou were finally convinced by Tong Guan, the most ruthless man in Tokyo, and expressed their willingness to surrender.

At this time, there were ten heads on the ground in front of Tong Guan.

They were the heads of the ten building masters of Guifan Tower. They were all beheaded by Tong Guan with a single sword and died with their eyes open.

Behind Tong Guan, there was a group of women with numb expressions and several crying girls.

Those numb women had been trafficked to Guifanlou for a long time and had been tortured.

Those with good looks were sold to the brothels above, while those with ugly looks were kept in Guifanlou for the entertainment of these bandits.

Over time, they became numb and turned into walking corpses.

The crying girls were the ones who had just been abducted.

Some have had their innocence tarnished, while others have not yet been targeted, and all are in a state of extreme panic and anxiety.

"Don't cry. If you are willing to go home, our family will help you find your family. If you don't want to go home, the Lord Ming is merciful and will make arrangements for you." Tong Guan said to the women.

After saying that, Tong Guan turned his head and said viciously to the gangsters from Guifanlou: "All of you, kneel down for us!"

The bandits were numerous and powerful, but facing Tong Guan's power, they all trembled in fear and knelt on the ground. Some even kowtowed to him.

It’s because the blood in the Wuyou Cave has not dried yet and the fishy smell has not dissipated yet. It was all done by Tong Guan and his men.

I don’t know how many famous bandits were beheaded by Tong Guan, such as the ten building owners in front of him.

"You are all extremely evil people who have done so many bad things that your sons will definitely not have an asshole. Now working for us is your only chance to atone for your sins." Tong Guan said coldly, "We are going to set up a 'Loyalty Gang'. We hope that all of you will join the 'Loyalty Gang' and work for our West Factory. We will not force you. If you are willing to join, then join. If not, then leave." "Join!"

"From now on, I, Zhang Asan, will be a disciple of the Loyalty Gang!"

"All is subject to the orders of Officer Tong!"

These gangsters are very good at understanding the current situation.

"Very good." Tong Guan said, "It seems that you all are very eager to join the Loyalty Gang. Now, register your identities and names and serve in the Loyalty Gang."

At this moment, Tong Guan's Western Factory finally looked like something.

And he had an unexpected surprise, which was that he seized a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and some black material on some high-ranking officials in Tokyo from the Guifan Building.

It turns out that many high-ranking officials are in collusion with Guifanlou and are Guifanlou's protector.

Some dignitaries have special hobbies that only Guifanlou can satisfy.

For example, if he liked a girl from a certain family, he would just ask Gui Fanlou to kidnap her.

From the scandals that Tong Guan had read, he saw that in the back garden of a prince's house, there were buried the bodies of 19 young girls. They were all abducted to him by Gui Fanlou. After he had played with these girls to death, he buried them in the garden without anyone noticing.

Tong Guan was not a good person, but after seeing these negative materials, I still felt shocked.

However, these negative information were very useful to his lord Murong Fu, so Tong Guan sealed them up and prepared to hand them over to Murong Fu together with the information from the Imperial City Bureau.

At that time, Murong Fu can follow the map and arrest those illegal officials and dignitaries in Tokyo City.

But Tong Guan heard that Murong Fu designed a guillotine and needed good heads to sharpen its blade!

At this moment, a yellow-robed messenger from the Ming Cult ran over and informed Tong Guan that a meeting had started!

"Meeting."

When Tong Guan thought of the woman named Murong Yan, his face was filled with fear.

West Factory, East Factory, Embroidered Uniform Guard!
These are the three major intelligence agencies under Murong Fu. Their responsibilities overlap to a certain extent. Now they are all gathered in Tokyo, which can be said to be a gathering of great forces.

The three of them supervised each other and had to cooperate under Murong Fu's pressure.

Among the three major intelligence agencies, Jinyiwei commander Murong Yan has the highest martial arts skills and the most masters under him, but because they all have Persian faces, they can only act in secret.

Tong Guan had been intimidated by Murong Yan before, and he couldn't beat her. He really couldn't beat her at all.

The East Factory Supervisor Kong Xuan has the weakest martial arts skills. After all, he was castrated not long ago and has not yet mastered the Sunflower Manual. However, the quality of the heroes in Dongdao under his command is very high.

Tong Guan’s Western Factory had just been established, but he directly privatized the resources of the Imperial City Bureau. In fact, he had the most intelligence, the most thorough understanding of the Song Dynasty, and was most familiar with the Tokyo City.

The three of them hold meetings from time to time to collaborate with each other.

After all, Murong Fu is going to come to Tokyo in person, and by then, they must produce decent work results.

After a while.

Tokyo, Happy House.

This is the Mingjiao branch in Tokyo. The leader, Fan Xilong, has returned to Tokyo, but he is temporarily under the command of Murong Yan because he really can't afford to offend this sister.

Murong Yan is not only a martial arts expert, but also has many masters under his command. He also has an unclear and complicated relationship with the leader Murong Fu.

Murong Yan, Sikong Xuan and Tong Guan are now gathered together.

When the human race shines!
"In Tokyo City, I have already found out the residences of all the important officials of the court. I have even used disguise to place my men in their residences." Murong Yan said, "For example, Fan Chunren, Su Song, Lu Dafang, Su Zhe..."

Murong Yan was talking about the prime minister and deputy prime minister in the current court, who were truly important officials of the country.

Fan Chunren is the son of Fan Zhongyan and the current prime minister.

Su Song was also a prime minister and a very talented person. He was in charge of the construction of the "Water Transport Observatory". He was good at astronomy and medicine and was a famous scientist of the time.

Lu Dafang was a veteran prime minister, while Su Zhe was the younger brother of the great writer Su Shi. He was the deputy prime minister and had just been named the grand marshal, and was responsible for planning Zhao Xu's wedding.

As for Su Zhe's troublesome brother Su Shi, he is now serving as the prefect of Yangzhou. This is the last peaceful time for Su Dongpo, because as soon as Zhao Xu comes to power, he will be exiled again.

"It is best not to kill these people directly, but to control and isolate them first." Tong Guan said, "Among them, there must be talents that the lord wants to use, so just hand them over to the lord for disposal. It will be difficult to govern the country now without the cooperation of the literati."

Murong Yan said: "I understand this. The next step is to monitor the Great Song Palace and see what the Queen Mother Gao and the little emperor are doing. By the way, Sikong Xuan, how are you doing?"

"The armor and weapons have all been delivered to Happy Manor outside the city. We are just waiting for the Lord to arrive so that we can launch a surprise attack." Sikong Xuan said, "I am also constantly sending people to bribe the imperial guards guarding the city gates. When the critical moment comes, we can open the city gates for the Lord and let him in."

"Very good, now everything is ready, we just need the leader's blessing." Murong Yan said, "I will write a letter to inform the leader of the news. As for me, I will go to the palace tonight to see the topography of the palace, draw a map, and present it to the leader. I have to thank Tong Guan for providing the information and helping me complete the map of Tokyo."

"We are all family, this is as it should be." Tong Guan said with a smile, "When the lord comes to power, you and I will both be meritorious ministers. This kind of meritorious service to the emperor, and the merit of founding a country, is really rare in history!"
