Chapter 8
"Okay, don't scare Xiaoye."

Mu Qiancheng said appropriately: "Yesterday, Cheng Yili almost went to your house with beating gongs and drums. Who in this capital doesn't know that they still use Xiaoye as an opening?"

Seeing that Lin Jihan's expression softened, Mu Qiancheng poured himself another glass of wine and said, "But you old man is not simple, Nuo~"

Mu Qiancheng motioned him to look down, and when Lin Jihan lowered his head, he saw Cheng Yili and Chen Nian'en, Minister of the Household Department, walking into the brothel.

Mu Qiancheng lay on the fence and looked down, looked at the two people who were walking towards the van opposite them one after the other, and said: "Although this Chen Nianen is Taifu Pei's favorite student, his style of doing things is completely different from Taifu Pei's. Bu Shangshu, who is in charge of the world’s money and food, is fine with forming gangs in the court, and took the lead in obstructing the New Deal, and you were supposed to return to the court in March this year, but he tried his best to stop it, so it was delayed until mid-September.”

"By the way, Cheng Yili sent his daughter to you, and at the same time met privately with the Minister of the Household Department. Is this trying to bet on both sides?"

Lin Jihan didn't say anything, but Ye Wei, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but said, "Maybe, it's just ordinary people coming to have a glass of wine with the Minister of the Household Department?"

Mu Qiancheng raised his eyebrows, "Why did Xiaoye say that?"

"I heard."

When it comes to gossip, Ye Wei gets excited, but after seeing Lin Jihan's cold eyes, he calms down again.

Mu Qiancheng didn't want to, he blocked Lin Jihan's sight with his fan, and then said to Ye Wei: "Xiao Yewei, tell me quickly, with me here, your master won't Say yours."

Even so, Ye Wei still didn't dare to say much, and he didn't continue until Lin Jihan nodded.

"I've heard that Mr. Cheng is not only deeply in love with his wife's childhood sweetheart, but also a proper wife and slave. He is extremely afraid of guilt. Don't look at him as a minister in the Ministry of Rites, but his wife holds all the money in the family. His pocket It's cleaner than my own face, and I don't even have the money to buy wine."

"Today, Mr. Cheng is probably greedy, and he has no money to buy wine, so he came to drink with the Minister of the Household Department."

Mu Qiancheng asked curiously: "I grew up in the capital and didn't know the news, but you only heard about it after returning to Beijing with your master for a month. Who did you listen to, this news is reliable ?"

Ye Wei patted his chest proudly and said, "It's probably true. As for the source of this information, it must be kept secret. This is the rule of Taoism."

Mu Qiancheng laughed, "All right, all right, we literati don't care about the rules of the Tao."

Looking at the expressionless Lin Jihan, Mu Qiancheng joked: "However, he reminded us that the money should be in our own hands, otherwise if we want to whore in the future, we will have to lie to others."

"But our prince doesn't have to worry about this. After all, Princess Anshun never cares about these things. She is willing to let you have all the houses. We have to learn from the prince in terms of marrying a wife and a worthy man."

Thinking of Shen Mengqi's cold appearance, Lin Jihan couldn't help feeling annoyed, he raised his leg and kicked Mu Qiancheng and said, "Do you want to die?"

Looking at Lin Jihan who got up and walked out of the private room, Mu Qiancheng couldn't help asking: "Hey, you're leaving now? Didn't you ask me to come out for a drink and slip away first?"

Seeing that Lin Jihan ignored him at all, Mu Qiancheng said angrily: "If you are like this, don't even think about calling me out next time!"

As soon as Mu Qiancheng finished speaking, Mudan walked in past Lin Jihan with a pipa, "Master Mu is leaving now? Don't you want to listen to Mudan's new song?"

After watching Mudan come in, Mu Qiancheng immediately forgot about Lin Jihan, his eyes darkened, he pulled Mudan to his side and said, "Of course I won't leave, just sit here and play for me."

In another box of the Qing brothel, Chen Nian'en, Minister of the Household Department, looked at Cheng Yili and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty Cheng is so clever. In order to get the protection of the King Regent, he actually had the heart to give the Prince Regent his jewel in his hand as a roommate."

Cheng Yili looked at Chen Nian'en with a pale face and said: "Master Chen is too worried, I just think that the regent is a talented young man who can be entrusted to."

"Do you entrust your daughter to him, or entrust your own wealth and life to him?"

Cheng Yili immediately said, "Of course it's my daughter! You tricked me into boarding a pirate ship, so why don't you allow me to find a way out for your daughter?"

"What is a thief ship? The loser is a thief, and the winner is a king. We are obviously taking you to the light. Besides, follow us, don't you have money? What else can you not be satisfied with?"

Cheng Yili clenched his fists, he gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Nian'en and said: "If I knew that what you were doing was a traitorous act, I would never have joined you just for that little money for drinking!"

Chen Nianen looked at Cheng Yili, who was becoming angry from embarrassment, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, what's the point of saying that now? You're already in our camp, don't you want to be alone?"

"Your daughter has only entered the Regent's Palace not long ago. If it is revealed that she has a father who launders money for the enemy country, what will the Regent do with her?"

Thinking of Cheng Xingchen, Cheng Yili felt a pain in his heart.

He closed his eyes tightly and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"A batch of goods will be shipped from the west recently, and you need to rely on your status as Minister of Rites to help launder a wave of money."

"It's not that you don't know, Mu Qiancheng has been watching me very closely recently, if he does this now, he will definitely be discovered."

Chen Nianen turned the wrench in his hand and said: "Make good use of your status as regent Yuezhang, with this layer of protection, who in the court would dare to touch you?"

"But."

"Master Cheng, I'm not discussing with you now, but I'm here to inform you on behalf of my lord."

Chen Nianen patted Cheng Yili's shoulder and said, "Think about your precious daughter who just married into the Regent's Palace, I'll go first."

After walking to the door, Chen Nian'en turned around with a smile and said, "Oh, by the way, I've already paid for the wine."

In the room, Cheng Yili couldn't bear it anymore, and directly overturned all the wine on the table to the ground.Hearing the broken sound from inside, Chen Nianen sneered, and ordered to the servant beside him.

"Tell the bustard that when he's almost done smashing, then send drinks in, so that our Master Cheng can have a good time."

"Yes."

When Lin Jihan returned to the mansion, it was already the climax of the moon, Lin Jihan was not in a hurry to go back to Juxing Pavilion, but took Ye Wei aimlessly in the mansion to sober up.

Unknowingly, he went to Lanyue Pavilion again.
