wealthy lord

Chapter 337 As cunning as a fox
  "Then thank you very much, Commander Qi!"

Ye Wanqing doesn't care about this, whether it's Qi Rui's business or not, she thanks him in advance.

Qi Rui looked embarrassed and said: "Well, the Second Madam has met Mr. Ye Yushi, please have a nice word for me!"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said: "It's natural. Your Majesty and I are both our own people, so we definitely can't let my father embarrass Qi Commander!" '

“Then it’s hard work!!”

Afterwards, Qi Rui stood up and left.

Without the outsider, the couple secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't realize that your Ye family is quite powerful in the court. A third-rank official like Commander Qi actually wants a few kind words from my father-in-law?"

Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Isn't my father the Censor Yanguan? Those unclean people are most afraid of the Censor Yanguan! Three generations of my Ye family have done this, even if they want revenge , even the current Holy One would not agree!”

Lin Yun suddenly understood and asked again: "Wanqing, since your Ye family has such strength, why did they sacrifice you back then?"

Ye Wanqing sighed: "Mr. sir, you still can't feel how difficult it is to deal with these guys in the capital who share the same party and oppose different parties! In fact, if my father had really spoken out back then, he could have saved me! But once my father compromised, then the third generation of my Ye family would be incorruptible. Your reputation will be gone! When the time comes, you will definitely be pulled into a certain camp. Do you know that forming cliques and private interests is a taboo in the eyes of the emperor! How could my father do such a thing? "

"Besides, I am the only one responsible for doing things. Since the interests of various vassals have been affected due to my reasons, then I will bear the responsibility myself!"

Looking at the upright Second Madam, Lin Yun felt an inexplicable respect for her and the Ye family.

There are too few families like this that are not afraid of power.

Especially in a big dyeing vat like the capital, it is even more difficult to be alone.

It can be said that being a corrupt official is easy and only requires a thought, but being honest is extremely difficult because you have to endure various temptations every day.

Lin Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, after you said that, I am a little curious about my father-in-law! Come on, let's go to Ye Mansion to have a look! By the way, do you want to buy any gifts?"

Ye Wanqing shook her head and said: "If you give my father a gift, be careful to send you to the government! My husband's tricks will be of no use to him!"

Lin Yun looked embarrassed, and suddenly became a little nervous. Although he had been prosperous along the way, he had done so through shady means. If this was discovered, even if nothing happened, there would be no peace. I'm afraid The most difficult thing to do at that time is Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing continued: "My father likes roasted mutton and Baigan wine. Let's go to Yueshengzhai and buy some for him!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and nodded. He never expected that his father-in-law would be so easy to deal with.

This is definitely a breath of fresh air in the capital.

If he had brought roasted mutton and white wine to Cui Mingchong, he would probably be kicked out.

After that, the couple left Yun Mansion and went straight to Yuesheng Zhai.

Imperial Palace Household Department.

Cui Mingchong was sitting in the middle of the hall dealing with various issues. On both sides of him sat other officials from the Ministry of Revenue, all looking meticulous.

After all, we were doing things under the eyes of the emperor, so everyone didn't dare to relax and kept their faces serious.

Qi Rui stood at the door but did not enter.

Cui Mingchong was looking down at Zhezi and vaguely felt someone in front of the door, so he looked up. When he saw Qi Rui blinking at him, he suddenly understood.

He stood up and said, "All ministers must sort out all the documents today. I will hand them over to the Minister later!" No mistakes! ! '

"Yes!!" Everyone agreed in unison, but everyone saw Qi Rui and knew that he was Cui Mingchong's man, so they were not surprised.

Only then did Cui Mingchong walk out, his hands behind his back. He was dressed in an official robe, with a flower feather on his head, and he looked dignified.

After crossing the threshold, he waved to Qi Rui, and the two walked into the garden next to the household department.

Asked: "How is it? Did you pick up Lin Yun?"

"That's right! The official has placed Lin Yun in Yun Mansion!"

"Can he tell you why he came to Beijing this time?"

Qi Rui nodded quickly and said: "He came here this time to discuss the mineral business with you!"

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to break off the peach branches beside the Yong Road, and said with a smile: "This boy is really brave!" '

Qi Rui nodded and said, "Yes! However, according to our spies' reports, in addition to the iron ore in Niubei Mountain, Lin Yun also controls the copper ore in Nianzi Mountain in Taoyuan Town! Especially Nianzi Mountain has already When the Lin family found out, he must have secretly started fighting with the Lin family!"

"He's courageous!! This guy is seasoned and steady, and he also knows how to use force. It seems that he came to Beijing this time to seduce the imperial court!"

He has long known what kind of person Cui Mingchong is, and Lin Yun's little Jiujiu.

Qi Rui frowned and said, "What do you mean, sir..."

"It doesn't matter! I have been angry with Master Long live in private, and Master Long live wants to use his hand to beat the Lin family! If it succeeds, this method can be applied to other vassal kings! You go down and keep an eye on Lin. Yun, monitor his every move in the capital and who he meets! Then report to me!"

Qi Rui looked curious and said: "Sir, do you mean that Lin Yun will contact other forces in the capital behind our back?"

"I don't know! But it's all just in case! This kid is very ambitious. If we can't keep an eye on him, we may capsize in the gutter!"

Although Cui Mingchong is now a popular person around the emperor, he also hides many secrets, which even the emperor does not know.

Once a third-party force is involved, it is likely to be leaked. If the emperor finds out, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and even he, Cui Mingchong, cannot afford it.

After all, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even if he is favored again, it will be a serious crime if it harms the interests of the royal family.

"I understand the humble position!!"

Qi Rui turned around and left.

Cui Mingchong added: "You can convey this to Lin Yun for me and tell him that I will go to Yun Mansion in person tomorrow night and just ask him to wait!"

He decided to meet Lin Yun in advance to get a feel for what he was talking about.

Qi Rui nodded in agreement and said: "Sir, Lin Yun is bringing his second wife Ye Wanqing to Beijing this time. I heard what they meant just now, and they probably want to visit Ye Ruhui!"

Cui Mingchong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! This old man Ye is a stubborn old man, and he has a special status. He will not do what Lin Yun does! And...if Lin Yun doesn't want to die, he probably won't have the guts to have too deep contact with the Ye family!"

……

Here, Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing left Yun Mansion and came to Yueshengzhai.

This place is the only place in the capital that sells beef and mutton, and it is also a feature of the capital.
