Chapter 341 Father and daughter quarrel
  Ye Ruhui's eyes lit up and he said, "So the batch of grain that the emperor collected in Fengyang County not long ago belongs to you?"

Immediately, he thought of something again and said meaningfully: "So, you and Cui Mingchong, the Minister of Household Affairs, are also very close?"

Lin Yun secretly screamed, this old man was obviously an insider, but he still knew too little.

Lin Yunqian laughed twice and said: "Don't get me wrong! Mr. Cui is the imperial envoy and the official who solved the famine in Haocheng last time. I only met him by chance, and we don't have a deep relationship!"

Ye Ruhui nodded with a smile, but said nothing more and directly grabbed a piece of roasted mutton and ate it.

"Well, Yue Shengzhai's roasted mutton is still so delicious this time!! Boy, was that girl Wanqing asking you to buy it?"

Lin Yun couldn't understand why the old man suddenly changed the subject.

If he continued to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it, he would be able to feel at ease, but after doing this, Lin Yun began to feel unsure.

"Yes! It's my first time in Beijing, and I'm not very familiar with your preferences!"

Ye Ruhui nodded, ate alone, and took another sip of wine.

Lin Yun saw it and didn't know what to say.

After that, the two men only talked about some basic necessities of life in the capital and stopped talking about other things.

Although Lin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Late at night, when Lin Yun came out of the study, Ye Wanqing immediately came forward and said, "Ms. sir, my father didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "How should I put it? The old man didn't make things difficult for me, but it did make me feel a little uncomfortable! However, your father drank too much and is sleeping on the table now!"

Ye Wanqing stretched her head and looked into the study room, and sure enough she saw her father sleeping soundly.

"Ms. sir, I promised my mother to stay at home tonight! Do you plan to stay the night too, or go back to Yun Mansion to rest?"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said: "Forget it! You and your family haven't seen each other for nearly two years. You must have a lot to say. Besides, we can't stay in the capital for only a few days. You can just stay at home and spend time with your parents! I Let’s go back first! If I don’t go back, there will definitely be random suspicions on Qi Rui’s side.”

"Okay then! Mr. Sir... thank you!!"

Lin Yun, smelling of alcohol, touched her head lovingly and turned to leave.

But not long after Lin Yun left, Ye Ruhui, who was lying drunk on the table, suddenly woke up. He was not as drunk as before. Although he was also full of alcohol, he was very conscious.

Looking at his second daughter who had covered him with a blanket, he said in a deep voice: "Wanqing, wait a moment!"

Ye Wanqing was shocked. She turned around and saw that her father was awake. She smiled and said, "Dad, aren't you drunk?" '

"Drunk? When have you ever seen your father drunk? Or was he drunk by a young boy?"

Ye Wanqing cursed in her heart, her father was really cunning, pretending to be drunk on purpose, he must have something to say to himself.

"Dad...did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

"Okay, Dad has a headache now. Go and make a pot of tea! I have something to tell you!"

Ye Wanqing stamped her feet and could only turn around to make tea.

When she returned to the study, Ye Ruhui had already ordered someone to take away the leftovers on the table, and he was standing in front of the table, practicing calligraphy in a flurry of strokes.

Ye Wanqing put a pot of hot tea on the table and said angrily: "Dad, what you want to say, you can say it now!" ' "sit down!!"

Ye Ruhui was talking, but his hands were not idle, and he was still writing calligraphy.

It looks like he is very skilled at writing the word "honest".

Ye Wanqing saw it and didn't say much. The father and daughter didn't talk that much before.

Although the National Academy of Sciences where she worked before was also among the elite of the court's think tank, it was still different from her father, who was the imperial censor.

Most of the imperial censors are stubborn people, and the officials in the imperial court are all-encompassing. As the emperor, if there are corrupt officials under his command, there must be censors.

Only balance is the best policy.

Ye Wanqing is well aware of this, but it is rare to be as knowledgeable as her father.

They were all famously cruel officials in the Daduan Dynasty.

Naturally, a considerable part of the reason why he was criticized verbally and writtenly by various feudal kings was to take the opportunity to drag Ye Ruhui into the water.

And the civil and military officials of the imperial court are even more eager for him to cause problems so that they can feel more relaxed.

But Ye Wanqing knew her father best and knew that this was impossible.

His father knew the emperor's thoughts best and also knew the benefits of reducing the vassal status. Therefore, he sacrificed his daughter for the long-term interests of the country.

But who would have thought that things would turn around, and the appearance of Lin Yun not only allowed Ye Wanqing to turn the corner, but also returned to the center of power.

Ye Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Do you know what words dad wrote?"

Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I know, isn't it the word "honest"?"

"Well, let me ask you, was there any corruption in the batch of grain that Lin Yun sold to the imperial court in Niubei Village? Or does it have anything to do with Cui Mingchong?"

"Dad, I advise you not to worry about so much. I am your daughter, and Lin Yun is your son-in-law!"

"I know! That's why I want to ask more clearly! To avoid being chewed on!"

"Huh, don't worry dad, we will never drag you down!!"

"boom!!"

Ye Ruhui was so angry that he slammed the wolf-hair brush in his hand on the table and shouted: "How outrageous!" ! Wanqing, you are my daughter, and more importantly, the Ye family. I, the third generation of the Ye family, are loyal and loyal, and we must never do anything that goes against the imperial court, the country, the country, and the country! If you say this, don't blame your father for being unkind and directly ordered the investigation of Lin Yun! '

Ye Wanqing stood up directly on the chair and glared: "Dad, I admit that Lin Yun and Cui Mingchong were a little jealous, but after all, everything Lin Yun did was for the sake of the peace of the court! If you don't know Don’t ask for trouble if it happens!"

Ye Ruhui frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Ye Wanqing sneered and said: "Now that we have said this, my daughter might as well speak out! Lin Yun has been working with Master Cui to plan the reduction of the vassal! This matter was secretly authorized by the current emperor! Even if dad wants to investigate , there will definitely be no results! Instead, it will cause trouble!"

Ye Ruhui was shocked in his heart and said: "Cutting down the vassal? How can this kid be so virtuous? He also participated in the phasing out? Then Cui Mingchong has been secretly disrupting Chaogang and forming cliques for personal gain. What good things can he do?"

"Dad, Mr. Cui is indeed not a good person! But you should also know one thing. He can gain the favor of the emperor, which in itself explains a lot of problems. Dad is the most loyal minister of the Daduan Dynasty, but your duty is only to report corruption. Official, I am reporting to the emperor, but in fact you don’t know anything about other matters involving the country! I believe the emperor didn’t tell you, otherwise you wouldn’t have said such a thing!”
