The Governor-General's Office was now managed by the Governor, Captain, and Captain of Guards, while the governing authority was handed over to the Governing Department.
The Governing Department was also known as the Dou Tang, and it was divided into six offices: Official, Official, Civilian, Works, Goods, and Rites.
There were many other departments under these six offices. For example, the Concierge Department that Zhang Yu had come into contact with previously belonged to the Rites Office. This was also the largest gathering place of the traditionalists in Tianxia.
The Official was in charge of the promotion, demotion, and transfer of officials under the Governing Department. As an official, Jiang Dingyi was only one step away from being in charge, so he undoubtedly had a lot of power and responsibility.
After Zhang Yu met up with Jiang Dingyi, a few days later, he went to work in the Official Yamen Office. Then, he spent another seven days peacefully.
Even though he now had the title of Adjunct, it was mainly because the Xuanfu made it easier for him to do things, so he would not give out random ideas.
Jiang Dingyi wouldn't disturb him unless he had some questions about etiquette.
Therefore, in the Governing Department, he usually stayed in his own office to read, read, and write some articles.
Other than him, Jiang Dingyi actually had many aides who were responsible for providing him with advice and help at any time. However, these people did not have any duties, so they were very envious of Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, believed that the person with the problem was most likely among these people.
These days, he had observed silently and indeed found one or two suspicious people.
Not only that, he even saw a Governing Department official secretly worshipping EsGod. Zang Shu said that there were many people in the Governing Department who were colluding with EsGod, and it seemed that this was true.
For this reason, he talked with Jiang Dingyi a few times in private. After obtaining the latter's agreement, he decided not to alert the enemy but to wait patiently and find an opportunity to catch all these people in one fell swoop.
Another seven days passed, and it was about to enter the middle of June. The changeable weather gradually passed, and Auspicious Light City returned to its previous state of being like spring all year round.
During this period, Jiang Dingyi was invited to a banquet. Some of his good friends congratulated him on his promotion, including Guo Shang. This time, Zhang Yu went with him. During the banquet, the two of them chatted for a while.
But this time, no matter where he went, he didn't encounter any accidents.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, could sense that the assassins were about to arrive. As time passed, the guards and swordmasters around Jiang Dingyi began to relax their tensed nerves.
This was not because they were slacking off. After all, they were just a group of ordinary people. It was impossible for them to maintain a high state of vigilance for a long time. This was also determined by both physiology and psychology.
He suspected that the news from before was deliberately released by the other party in order to exhaust Jiang Dingyi's guards.
Now that nearly twenty days had passed, he had already accumulated enough Divine Essence to view the six seals. However, it was still not enough to view the Seal of True Embryo, because there was a possibility of failure. He had to try his best to accumulate more Divine Essence.
And at that time, he could also view the two seals used for battle. In this way, the estimated time of two months was about right.
He thought to himself, "Wait a little longer, it will be soon."
At the western edge of Auspicious Light City, after more than a month, Yu Mingyang returned home with a bag on his back.
Pushing the door open, he found that his elder brother was not there. Moreover, the stove in the kitchen had not been touched for several days. He tidied up the stove, made a fire to boil water, and took a refreshing bath. Then, he had a good sleep. When he woke up, he felt that all his exhaustion had disappeared.
At this time, he felt a little hungry. When he walked out, he found a pot of hot porridge on the stove. There were also a few dishes that were cooked. The aroma was very tempting. He said loudly, "Elder brother, you're back?"
The middle-aged man heard the voice and came over. He looked at him seriously and said, "En, I'm back. Before you came home, why didn't you send a letter?"
Yu Mingyang said, "There just happened to be a caravan going south returning to the Protectorate. I followed them back a few days in advance."
The middle-aged man said, "Did everything go well on your side? Those barbarians didn't bully you, right? "
Yu Mingyang said, "How could that be? The chief of that tribe values us very much as we teach the Tianxia language. He gave us the best food, although it's not very tasty."
The middle-aged man looked at his condition and found that he was in good spirits. It was just that his skin was slightly tanned. He nodded and said, "It seems that you're doing well there."
Yu Mingyang said, "Yes, it's very good. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
He knew that in the Claw language, there were actually a few students who were better than him, such as An Chuer. It was just that women were not suitable to stay in such a barbaric and backward tribe for a long time, so this was an opportunity for him.
He couldn't help but say, "Elder brother, did you know? This time, there was almost a war in the southern border of the Protectorate. Thanks to you, it didn't happen. "
The middle-aged man was a little surprised and said, "En? What happened? War? "
Yu Mingyang excitedly told the story of how Zhang Yu had brought him on a diplomatic mission. Of course, he exaggerated some parts.
For example, the battle that happened in the middle of the night. He didn't see it with his own eyes, but he described the battle of the Blood Feather warriors as Zhang Yu leading people to take the initiative to attack and kill all the Blood Sun Envoys. This forced the chief of the Claw tribe to choose a side.
His description of the entire process was truly impassioned. Listening to it made one's blood boil.
The middle-aged man was also very moved. After listening, he couldn't help but feel respect and said, "Your teacher is a good teacher, a good official."
He suddenly thought of something and frowned. He said, "You can eat by yourself tonight. I have something to do outside."
Yu Mingyang nodded.
He never asked his eldest brother what he did for a living, nor did he ask him where he was going. In his mind, since his elder brother didn't want to say, he must have his difficulties. This was the tacit understanding between the two of them.
The middle-aged man walked out of his house and went to a grocery store on the corner of the street. A short old man saw him coming and said, "Old Yu, you've come early."
The middle-aged man didn't answer and went straight into the room.
The short old man looked outside and closed the door. Then, he came in and moved the bed in the room. He pulled open a sliding panel on the ground, revealing a passage that led downwards.
The middle-aged man walked in. After bending his waist and walking around a hundred steps, he felt his eyes open. He came to an underground stone building.
This was actually the underground drainage area of Auspicious Light City. It was connected to some of the underground temples. The internal space was very spacious and tall, so it became the gathering place of some secret gangs. Although the Criminal and Justice Department would sometimes send people to sweep the area, they didn't stay for long.
The middle-aged man walked to a place with familiarity. Before he arrived, he heard someone talking.
Someone said, "Jiang Dingyi may be afraid. Since he took office, he never went back. He directly lived in the Civil and Justice Department. The Civil and Justice Department is located on the platform of the inner city. It's not far from the Commissar and the Academy. There are elite guards inside and outside. We can't do it here. We can only do it in the outside world."
Another person said, "But now Jiang Dingyi is going out. Everything is decided before he leaves. Even our spies don't know which way he will go. If we don't have a way to arrange it in advance, the possibility of success is not big."
The previous voice said, "It doesn't matter. Next month, there will be … … Who is outside?"
The middle-aged man walked in steadily. He looked at the dozen or so people gathered here and said, "I won't be participating this time." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Someone behind him shouted, "Old Yu?"
However, that person's shout was quickly stopped by a lean young man in the middle. He said, "Forget it. Let him go. The few of us are enough. That Jiang Dingyi only has a Swordsman with the surname Qin. How can he compare to the Divine Weapons in our hands?"
He stood up from his seat and looked around. He drew his sword and said, "There are too many injustices in this world. What we need to do is to voice out the injustices and seek justice for the people of this world!"
"Voice out the injustices and seek justice!"
Everyone drew their swords and shouted. The marks on the scales above their heads emitted a faint glow. Then, an atmosphere of martyrdom spread. Everyone's eyes were filled with determination.
Just a wall away, two people wearing white masks were talking. "That Old Yu won't ruin it, right?"
"Old Yu is an old man. He won't. We still need him."
"Then let's act according to plan. A few of our people have been transferred to unimportant positions by Jiang Dingyi. He will definitely do something bigger when he comes down. We can't let him live anymore!"
