"These two positions are more important and must be handled carefully. I think it's better to leave them vacant for the time being," Ye Kong said.
In fact, Ye Kong had his own plans. The two positions would, of course, belong to Kuang Peng and Wu Yong. However, there was a problem. Kuang Peng was only a high-grade Great Overarching Golden Celestial, and Wu Yong was not as good as Kuang Peng. If he let them be the deputy positions, they would definitely say that he was being nepotistic.
Therefore, Ye Kong planned to leave them vacant until Kuang Peng leveled up again. Since the deputy positions had been held for thousands of years, it was necessary to keep them.
However, Chen Zhijie was not prepared to compromise today. He said, "My lord, please understand that these two positions are very important. Xu Yinchao's Iron Might Hall is in charge of arresting people in the field. If there's no one to manage it, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle the case well. Especially since they're currently trying to capture Ji Xiao Lou. Without a capable leader, it'll be difficult to find anything. "
After Chen Zhijie finished speaking, he continued, "The other yamen is even more important. The secret name manages the eyes and ears of our Iron Prison Mountain in the various outer planets and sends us intelligence in a timely manner. It's like our Iron Prison Mountain's eyes and ears. If this department is in chaos, we might not even know who the other party is when we're captured, let alone capturing someone."
"You have a point, but there's no one here right now," Ye Kong replied.
"Why not? I have a high-ranking jailer with the surname Zhang who has just become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. I think he can be the deputy. Also, I have a junior who's also very diligent. He's barely qualified to be the deputy … "
Ye Kong cursed inwardly, 'F * ck you! So you're the one who made the two vacant positions after I took care of Xu Yinchao? How could you do something like plucking peaches? No, absolutely not! '
Ye Kong shook his head and said, "Deputy Prison Governor Chen, although the subordinate you mentioned has a strong cultivation base, he's too weak. He's not suitable to be in charge of the secret position, let alone the Iron Might Hall. As for your junior, I don't know anything about him. He can join the Iron Prison Mountain and be assessed as a reserve cadre before being appointed. "
Chen Zhijie was unhappy. He thought to himself, "I've been busy with Xu Yinchao's trial for a few months. How can you not give me some benefits?"
He continued, "Your Excellency is wise. Since Your Excellency values these two yamens and insists on keeping them empty, I have a compromise."
"Speak."
Chen Zhijie said, "I feel that we don't have enough backup, and we don't feel assured looking from the outside, so there's only one way. That was concurrent! These two yamens can't stop, so we're the only ones who are going to suffer! "
Before he finished speaking, the Deputy Warden surnamed Li walked out and cupped his fists. "Lord Ye, this subordinate is willing to take on some hard work and concurrently serve as the secret master!"
This Li guy was originally in the same boat as Chen Zhijie. The two of them must have planned this beforehand. Their real plan was to let Chen Zhijie take a big bite first and then seize control of the ship.
Ye Kong frowned and said nothing.
Chen Zhijie said, "Deputy Warden Li has always been loyal and courageous. He's been in charge of the inner guard yamen for so many years and has also been very conscientious. He also contributed greatly when investigating Xu Yinchao. Your Excellency, I think it's possible!"
Ye Kong thought to himself, "You've already said everything, how can I say no?"
Chen Zhijie's words had a hidden meaning. We're all working for you. Even that chef has benefits, how can we not?
Helpless, Ye Kong could only nod and say, "I also think it's possible. Deputy Warden Li, take on some hard work and manage two yamens. I hope you can manage both yamens well. If you're tired, let me know immediately. Don't attend to one thing and lose sight of the other. "
Ye Kong said in a seemingly concerned manner. Deputy Warden Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can do it. I'm very energetic."
Chen Zhijie then said, "There's also the Iron Might Hall in charge of arresting people. This yamen can be said to be our Iron Prison Mountain's most important yamen …"
Before he finished speaking, the Deputy Wardens all rushed out and cupped their fists. "Your Excellency, I'm willing to take on some hard work."
"I'm willing to share Your Excellency's burdens!"
"Your Excellency, I'm in charge of the secret office, so I can also be in charge of arresting people's yamen. I'm very energetic …"
Ye Kong was about to vomit blood. These brats were fighting to be the first when they encountered benefits. If they were full of energy, why didn't they use immortal jade?
But what was surprising was that Chen Zhijie actually said, "No, none of you can do it! Iron Might Hall is such an important yamen, I don't think your abilities are enough! "
Just as Ye Kong heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Chen Zhijie say, "Looks like This Old Man is the only one in charge of this yamen. Sigh, it's hard work. I don't even have time to cultivate. It's all for Your Excellency."
Ye Kong was furious. Both the internal and external affairs were controlled by you, but wasn't I still just a figurehead?
Ye Kong snorted coldly and said, "Deputy Warden Chen, I don't think this is appropriate. A Deputy Warden in charge of both internal and external affairs is unprecedented in the Iron Prison Mountain. If this gets out, won't people laugh at our Iron Prison Mountain for not having anyone capable?"
Chen Zhijie said, "Sir, I don't want to either. But look, there are so many people here, who is more suitable than me?"
Ye Kong nodded and smiled, "Of course there is, it's right in front of you!"
Chen Zhijie was shocked, "You?"
Ye Kong asked back, "What, Deputy Warden Chen thinks I don't have the ability?"
"No." Chen Zhijie had already thought about how to get these two positions, but he didn't expect Ye Kong to ask him to do it.
"Then there's a rule that the Warden can't be a Deputy Warden?"
"No." Chen Zhijie's plan was disrupted by Ye Kong so he couldn't think of a reply.
But Deputy Warden Li was smart and immediately said, "Sir, right now, Iron Might Hall is trying to capture Ji Xiao Lou. This person has the power to kill and brings disaster to the Celestial World. This is not child's play …"
"Pa!" Ye Kong slapped the table, "Deputy Warden Li thinks that Ye can't capture Ji Xiao Lou? It's child's play for Ye to manage the Iron Might Hall! "
Deputy Warden Li was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "This subordinate has misspoken. It's only right for Lord Ye to be the Deputy Warden of the Iron Might Hall. No, no, no, it's a waste of talent."
After doing this, even Ye Kong was enraged. Chen Zhi Jie did not dare to haggle over it anymore, and hurriedly left with his people.
After they left, Kuang Peng sighed and said, "It's all because our cultivation bases are too low. If I were an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, even a low-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would be fine!"
Ye Kong said, "Don't be depressed. Even if you're an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, these fellows will still come to cause trouble." After saying this, Ye Kong added, "However, we still have to keep our spirits up. Since I've said this in front of everyone, it'll be embarrassing if we can't capture Ji Xiao Lou."
Wu Yong was shocked. "Then, can we leave this place?"
Ye Kong smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I've already ordered someone to search for information about Wang Yue from Mani Sect."
Only now did Wu Yong realize that Ye Kong had been keeping his grievances in mind.
