Ye Chengwei could hear that King Ning was blaming himself, so he quietly picked up some shrimps and put them into the Huarujin bowl, and said in a calm tone:
"After all, it's dinner, so how can you eat too much greasy food? Instead, this stir-fried shrimp dish is made by wrapping the shrimp in egg white, cucumber, and stir-frying carrots. It looks like each shrimp is crystal clear and crispy. Refreshing, sweet and delicious, and good for digestion, suitable for all ages, you can eat more."

"The method of stir-fried shrimp is not the same."

Zhu Zhiye did not show any weakness, and carefully put half a bowl of Wensi tofu in front of Hua Rujin with a spoon, and said with a smile: "Little Hua'er, don't look at this dish as ordinary, but it can best show the exquisiteness of Yangzhou cuisine. It is elegant in style and has always been the favorite of literati and inkmen. It not only melts in the mouth, but also mellow and tender, which is very delicious.”

I thought I could enjoy a good meal, but the behavior of the two made Hua Rujin feel pressured.

Staring blankly at the dishes that the two of them brought up, she really didn't know what to do.

After pondering for a moment, she had no choice but to pick up some bamboo shoots and put them into her mouth. Before she could taste them carefully, she pretended to be full of praise and said: "I heard from my cousin in Jiangling City that Yangzhou's boiled dried silk is called "Diansi". Yijue, shredded dried tofu served with chicken broth and bamboo shoots, and boiled over low heat, it’s really delicious.”

After saying that, he hurriedly picked some for Wu Muning, Ye Chengwei, and Zhu Zhiye, and kept urging: "Try it quickly, this dish must be eaten while it's hot."

Wu Muning has already noticed that Ye Chengwei is the treasurer of the favorite flower. This nerd has been in the Beijing Central Academy for many years. Even if the princess and the princess are courteous to him in every possible way, he always has a lofty and self-righteous attitude. I have never seen him before. I have never been so close to any woman.

What's more, he had a marriage contract with shopkeeper Hua, so how could she not have such insight.

Moreover, she could also see that shopkeeper Hua had Ye Chengwei in his heart, otherwise how could a girl like her come all the way to the provincial government to be an aide.

But the silly prince next to him insisted on getting in.

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder emanating from the room, Wu Muning followed Hua Rujin's words and changed the topic: "I heard that the second son of the Shu family went to the north to join the army with Young Master Yan. This is really puzzling. His Eldest brother is now admitted to the imperial hospital, and he can have a bright future, how could he travel thousands of miles to go through that miserable life?"

"A man's ambition is everywhere, and it is a matter of course to serve his family and country. How can he just think about being stuck in a gentle village all day long."

Ye Chengwei squinted at Zhu Zhiye from the corner of his eyes: "I really admire the integrity of Mr. Shu."

"Ye Chengwei, don't you just want to say that this king doesn't seek to make progress, so why point at Sang and scold Huai?"

No matter how dull Zhu Zhiye's mind was, he could still hear the deep meaning in his words.

This guy really wanted to bury himself, he was very displeased and said: "Don't think that you have solved a few cases for the court and won the appreciation of the father, so you can give pointers to the king, Wei Laodu Having said that, this king is a piece of rotten wood, why should I think about those bad things anymore."

After a moment of silence, he didn't want to continue to pretend to be stupid, so he simply said bluntly: "This king knows that you didn't mean to target me, but just wanted to test my will for Wei Lao, but this king will also say what he said today. I just want to live according to my heart, and I don’t want to get involved in any disputes.”

Ye Chengwei was not in a hurry to answer, and slowly filled a bowl of chicken soup, then put a piece of shrimp into the bowl, the soup color did not change, and then put a trace of eel with rich color into the soup, the soup color immediately become cloudy.

Zhu Zhiye showed a puzzled face: "What do you want to do?"

"This Gansi soup is one of the outstanding representatives of Huaiyang cuisine. It is bright and mellow in color, but if it is mixed with other dishes, it is not called Dazhu Gansi, and it is difficult to maintain its pure color. Your Highness thinks it is delicious in a bowl. Do I have to choose?"

Ye Chengwei said in detail: "If your Highness is just an ordinary person, your long-cherished wish is indeed very ordinary, but don't forget, you are the prince of the Daye Dynasty, even if you want to keep your aspirations, Can those people with ulterior motives agree?"

"Why, is there still someone who wants to catch the ducks and put them on the shelves?"

Zhu Zhiye snorted coldly.

"To be precise, it should be called the Bird's End Gongzang."

Ye Chengwei's eyes blinked slightly, and he smiled deeply: "Not to mention that Your Highness is not a good bow, at most it is a bird that does not want to stand out in the eyes of others."

"Since you know that I don't want to stand out, why do you want to kill them all?"

"Then His Highness has to ask your royal brother, His Highness King Yun."

Ye Chengwei reminded: "You just came to Jiangling City and he wanted to kill you. Do you still expect him to treat you kindly in the future?"

After a pause, he continued: "As for King Fu, in order to bring down King Yun, he did not hesitate to search for all the evidence of King Yun's crimes and wanted to put him to death. What's more, I recently found out that the Zhuo family has been doing business with the North Kingdom for these years. , the items sold are iron ore and rice grains, the heaviest, His Highness, think carefully, can the Zhuo family have such a great ability to do such a business?"

"Selling iron ore and rice?"

Hua Rujin was stunned: "If I remember correctly, the imperial court forbids merchants from supplying these two goods to the Northern Kingdom, which is a serious crime of treachery."

No wonder he didn't allow himself to intervene in the Zhuo family's affairs just now. If King Fu was involved, he didn't intend to bring about a murderous disaster.

King Ning's expression also changed drastically when he heard it, and he questioned in disbelief: "Brother Fu Wang has participated in the Northern Expedition many times, and he knows the difficulties of the soldiers in the North. The family did it without telling him."

"Your Highness, even if the Zhuo family is an imperial merchant, they are only merchants. Where did he get the iron ore, and how did he get the customs clearance documents for going to the Northland?"

Wu Muning felt that His Highness lived a little too simple, and solemnly reminded: "It is precisely because His Highness King Fu has made many expeditions to the north, and many of his confidantes are still stationed at the border, that he has the ability to sell these two goods to Northland."

Hearing this, Hua Rujin couldn't help but shudder.

Luo Chuhuai, as the left governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, leads the whole country's soldiers and horses from afar. It is not known whether he is also involved in this matter.

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. If he is related to this matter, he will be in bad luck in the future.

But after thinking about it, he didn't go back to the capital with him, and there was still room for maneuver, and he began to secretly rejoice for the decision he made, not coveting wealth and honor, and led Hua Youen back to Luo's house.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to live with my head up now.

"What are you going to do next, sir?"

Hua Rujin looked at Ye Chengwei, wanting to know his next plan.

This guy always has a lot of things in his heart, and now he has become his staff, but he still refuses to confide in himself.

Ye Chengwei's eyes paused, and he said slowly: "Use this case to thoroughly investigate Zhuo's family, but I think that if King Fu is really involved, there will be considerable obstacles in the thorough investigation."

"The soldiers are fighting bloody battles at the border. If King Fu really commits collusion with the enemy and betrays the country, let alone the father, I will not let him go."

Zhu Zhiye's expression changed: "Since I promised Xiao Hua'er to intervene in Zhuo's affairs, this time I will investigate this matter thoroughly with you."

Ye Chengwei was very satisfied with his answer, and said with a smile: "This seems to be a disciple taught by Wei Lao."

"Ye Chengwei, this king just doesn't like those intrigues in court, but it doesn't mean that this king is incompetent and blind."

Zhu Zhiye said solemnly: "The Great Ye Dynasty was built by the emperor's grandfather and countless soldiers who threw their lives and blood. Now, the emperor has managed the inside and outside of the court in an orderly manner. Peace and prosperity."

"I hope His Highness will not forget today's words."

Ye Chengwei nodded and smiled.

With this realization, Elder Wei can finally live his life in peace.

Seeing the two shake hands and make peace, Hua Rujin and Wu Muning were also happy from the bottom of their hearts, and they all echoed: "Hurry up and eat, don't waste this good meal."
