Chapter 537 Kill the game and make friends with Meng Yuan

Immediately, he stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, threatening: "Master Cui! You'd better think carefully before you speak! Don't forget that you can reach your current status only by me. I have promoted you all these years." If you eat meat and drink soup, you will also get a lot of oil and water! You have boarded my boat a long time ago! If I trip over that Lin Yun, you will be the first person I sacrifice to heaven!"

Cui Mingchong was completely panicked and begged for mercy: "Zhong Tang, have mercy on me! I really can't remember this thing clearly! But Zhong Tang, don't worry, I will swear allegiance to you to the death. Just tell me what to do! I'll go up to you!" Even under the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely satisfy Master Zhongtang!”

Fulin'an smiled jokingly, helped him up, and helped him straighten his messy official robes.

"Do you still have the bamboo gun that Master Cui got from Lin Yun before?"

"There is... it has been kept at home by the subordinate!"

Until now, Cui Mingchong couldn't figure out Fulin'an's veins. He could only ask questions and answer questions, just to save his life.

Fulin'an nodded: "Very good, I'll give you a task! Whether you do it yourself or find someone to do it, I will use the bamboo gun in your hand to kill Sun Xing, who is detained in the Fifth Prince's house! If you succeed, Yes, I will reward you generously! In the future, when I retire, the vacancy of the Minister of Household Affairs will be yours!"

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up, but he was complaining in his heart.

Go to the Prince's Mansion to kill people. If you succeed, it's okay. If you fail, you'll be doomed.

Based on his understanding of Fulin'an, he would definitely not care about his life or death at the critical moment.

"Do you really mean what Zhongtang said?"

"Haha, of course! I have been grooming you as my successor all this time. Can't Mr. Cui still see that?"

Cui Mingchong secretly gritted his teeth, hating him so much that he wished he could punch this old guy to death.

This was obviously meant to harm him.

If the matter is completed, he will definitely be silenced. If he fails, even if he finds someone to assassinate him at the Prince's Mansion, he will still be found on his head in the end.

But he doesn't dare to refuse now, otherwise he still won't get good results.

"Okay! Since Lord Zhongtang can trust this official, then I am willing to smear him to death!"

"Well! That's settled then! Go down and do your work!"

Fulin'an smiled with satisfaction, then returned to the desk and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Cui Mingchong walked out of the room in despair, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He finally understood that Fulinan's question about Haocheng's disaster relief situation just now was just an excuse.

Knowing that he had both sides, he didn't mention it before, but now he brought it up, just to deliberately tease him and make Cui Mingchong the scapegoat.

Regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, he will not end well.

Here, Lin Yun and Meng Yuan have left the palace and come to Meng Mansion.

The two of them came to a study room and sat down. Lin Yun clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you very much for Meng Zhongtang's upright speech yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be here today! I'm here to bother you, and I hope to make friends with Meng Zhongtang!"

Meng Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling proud in his heart. Although he hadn't done much in the past few days, everything he did was to please Lin Yun.

I just didn't expect that Lin Yun was so wise that he would take the initiative to befriend me. Looking at it this way, I really shouldn't have spoken ill of Lin Yun in front of the emperor before.

"Haha, you don't have to be polite Lin Zhongtang! I just can't stand the domineering behavior of Fulin'an! He is even thinking about the country of Daduan Dynasty! Moreover, even if I don't say anything, just by Lin Zhongtang's feelings in the emperor's heart With his status, he will definitely be able to successfully enter the cabinet and become the Prime Minister! Therefore, what I do is just the icing on the cake, so Lin Zhongtang doesn’t need to take it to heart!"

"Meng Zhongtang is indeed a quick talker! My father-in-law exaggerated last night that Meng Zhongtang is the cornerstone of the imperial court and a very loyal minister!"

Meng Yuan felt quite comfortable with Lin Yun's flattery, and he immediately raised his head and laughed: "Haha! If these words came from Lin Zhongtang's mouth, I would definitely not recognize it, but since it is that old man Ye Ruhui, I will listen It’s really comfortable!”

Ye Ruhui was a famously stubborn old man in the Daduan Dynasty, and was jokingly called a stone in the latrine by the officials below.

Not to mention ordinary officials, even in front of the emperor, Ye Ruhui was unsmiling, completely unsociable, and was ostracized by many officials.

But he is not an ordinary person. He doesn't care what others think of him and only does his own thing.

Lin Yun nodded. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to change, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Meng Zhongtang, my brother-in-law was directly promoted from the first-class bodyguard to the right-hand minister of the Ministry of War. Was it your secret operation?"

Meng Yuan was stunned at first, not expecting that Lin Yun would suddenly change to this topic.

He said with a smile: "It's just a small matter! Although Lin Zhongtang no longer served in the court before, I'm afraid I have heard that I said a lot of bad things about Lin Zhongtang in front of the emperor, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly realized that the old man who dared to help without saying hello was just to please himself.

"I've heard a little about it! However, I have never been angry with Meng Zhongtang! Although you and Fulin'an have both spoken against me, you have no selfish motives and are just thinking about the court! Therefore, I understand Meng Zhongtang very well. I didn’t take my difficulties to heart!”

Meng Yuan was secretly relieved, and felt even more grateful to Qi Changyun.

If it hadn't been for his secret instructions, I probably wouldn't have reconciled with Lin Yun.

Meng Yuan shuddered when he thought about Lin Yun's falling out with Fulin'an in public just now at the military aircraft.

This kid is simply a disaster. At first, he only heard about Lin Yun's glorious deeds in Fengyang County. Only after this personal contact did he know how destructive Lin Yun was.

He could now understand to some extent why the emperor insisted on letting Lin Yun enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, despite all opinions.

Only by giving Lin Yun a high enough official position can he do things without any scruples and dig out all the buried problems to the light of day.

It also allowed Meng Yuan to understand from the side how firm the emperor was in his determination to rectify the administration of officials.

Obviously, Fulin'an was the first to hit the muzzle.

I just don’t know if I can escape.

Meng Yuan smiled and said: "That's good! Now that these words are clear, I feel more at ease! By the way, when there is an opportunity another day, Lin Zhongtang will invite your father-in-law here, and the three of us will have a drink and talk!"

Lin Yun was stunned and said suspiciously: "Meng Zhongtang has the opportunity to meet with my father-in-law all day long, why do you need me to invite him?"

"Hey, you don't know what your father-in-law's temper is like? This stubborn old man won't give you any face! I guess Lin Zhongtang is the only one who has the face to invite him out now!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was really like this. Ye Ruhui had always kept himself clean. No matter what he asked his family to do, he could indeed control himself.
