Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11184: Chapter 11183: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

But from the results, it was definitely worth it.

The emperor also heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi was the only person he was pushing this time, and he had already made a big concession to Qin Wang. If Lin Yi fell in this trial, all the resources he invested would go down the drain.

“Since there are no problems, let’s officially appoint him.”

The emperor was about to make a decision.

” Your Majesty,” the King of Qin said,” if he were to enter the Safety Inspection Department and do an ordinary job, it would indeed be enough to pass the Primordial Spirit Inspection. However, since Your Majesty has pushed him to be one of the four main managers, we still have to do another investigation just to be safe.”

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

Manager?

Previously, when the emperor mentioned it to him, he did not mention that he was going to be one of the four great managers.

From the looks of it, the process of compromise between the two sides was smoother than the emperor had expected. His original intention was to push him into the trap and plant a spy in the Safety Inspection Department.

It was just that the entire process was too smooth, so he increased the price at the last minute, wanting to fight for the position of the four masters.

After all, just from the name alone, one could tell that being in charge and being in charge were two completely different levels.

” Yes.” The emperor nodded.” The appointment of the four managers must be examined more carefully. I agree to investigate the files.”

The three dukes also agreed.

Lin Yi was called to a side hall to wait.

Not long after, three other people also came to the side hall. One of them was an old acquaintance, Bai Shizu.

“Brother Lin.”

“Looks like we’re going to be colleagues in the future, if nothing unexpected happens,” Bai Shizu took the initiative to smile and greet him.

Lin Yi reacted immediately. The four people at the scene should be the candidates for the four leaders. The only thing they lacked now was the investigation of the files in God Domain.

He was a candidate recommended by the emperor, while Bai Shizu was a candidate recommended by the king of Qin.

He didn’t know which faction the remaining two represented.

“This is Brother Lu Yuzhu, and this is Brother Ye Qiyuan,” Bai Shizu introduced.

Lin Yi cupped his hands and greeted the two.

Lu Yuzhu looked older and had the temperament of a big brother in society. He was quite experienced in dealing with people and quickly got along with them.

As for Ye Qiyuan, his temperament was cold and aloof. Although there was nothing disrespectful about him, he did not speak much after greeting him, making him seem unsociable.

The four of them waited in the side hall for an entire day before finally waiting for the results of the examination.

“All four of you have passed. From today onwards, you are the four managers of the Safety Inspection Department. You are directly responsible to His Majesty, and at the same time, you are also responsible to me and the three dukes.”

The King of Qin went straight to the point.” Each of the leaders has a team under them. They are all elites carefully selected from the Imperial Army and are under your full jurisdiction. The power of life and death is also in your hands. What effect you can use later will depend on your ability.”

Lin Yi and the other three replied in unison.

” Now that the Security Inspection Division has been officially established, it should be fully operational from now on,” the king of Qin said.

“As I said before, this review is a systematic self-inspection from top to bottom. Therefore, we have to start from the seven Imperial Palaces. As for which Imperial Residence you are responsible for, the four of you can draw lots now.”

With that, he waved his hand and four wordless tokens appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Yi and the others looked at each other and took a piece each.

As he held the token in his hand, the originally smooth surface of the token slowly engraved a word.

Zhao.

“Prince Zhao’s mansion?” Lin Yi’s heart jumped.

After exiting the court, the four of them walked toward a building at the side gate of the palace.

The place was not big. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary courtyard. However, after the plaque was hung, it was destined to become the most important power department of the Inner Court in the future, the Security Inspection Department.

At this moment, hundreds of elites were waiting in the courtyard for their commander to inspect them.

“Next, it’s time for you to get busy. I wish the three of you a great victory.”

Bai Shizu said with a smile.

“Same here, good luck.” Lin Yi and the other two cupped their hands.

On the way, everyone did not hide their next investigation target.

Lu Yuzhu drew King Qi’s residence, Ye Qiyuan drew King Qin’s residence, and Bai Shizu drew the Chu royal residence.

Qin, Qi, Chu, and Zhao were the four most powerful kings. Although the other kings were called the seven kings, there was a big gap in their overall strength.

The interesting thing was that Bai Shizu would avoid arousing suspicion and deliberately avoided King Qin’s residence.

The four managers were all of equal rank in name and could act independently.

However, this also meant that there was an obvious competitive relationship between them.

The first battle was against a top-tier king’s mansion. Whether or not they could get off to a good start would directly affect their future authority in the Safety Inspection Department!

Prince Zhao’s mansion.

Zhao Feng came back from the black market with an extremely ugly expression. She went to find Zhao Sancai without saying anything.

“Uncle Sancai, Mo Hua said that it was your idea to deliberately suppress my friend’s assets. What do you mean?”

Zhao Feng was aggressive.

She couldn’t help but be angry. Mo Huaqiang was just a local boss of the black market. To put it bluntly, he was just a pimp. How dare he play tricks on her without fear? If it wasn’t for Zhao Sancai’s face, she would have suppressed him on the spot.

At the very least, he would be crippled.

What the hell was that?

Zhao Sancai sipped his tea slowly.” Feng ‘er, don’t be anxious. Have some tea first. Uncle Sancai will tell you about this slowly.”

Zhao Feng wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she sat down patiently and picked up the teacup that she had poured earlier.

“You also see the current situation of our Zhao King’s residence. However, you might not be able to see it clearly enough.”

” We only have three core rules,” Zhao Sancai said faintly.” On the whole, the Imperial Residence is already unable to make ends meet. Every month, we are losing more than 30,000 traces of fate!”

” What?” Zhao Feng was shocked.” How is that possible?”

Zhao Sancai glanced at her. There are so many people in the Imperial Residence. Just the food they eat every day is already an astronomical figure in the eyes of others. It’s not strange for them to be in a deficit at this critical juncture of the law calamity, right?”

Zhao Feng couldn’t help but say,” We have a lot of expenses, but we have a lot of assets. Even if the law calamity affects us, at most, we will only have a little less income. How can we be in the red?”

Zhao Sancai shook his head.” You don’t know how expensive rice is if you’re not in charge. Some things aren’t as simple as they seem.”

“Someone is embezzling money, right?” Zhao Feng blurted out.

As long as it was operating normally, even if the scale of the estate of Prince Zhao’s residence could not make a lot of money, it would definitely make a lot of profits. It was absolutely impossible for it to fall to the point of a large deficit.
