Chapter 583 Oiran Cui Hongyu

Qi Changyun said: "After that time, I had an opportunity to talk to him! He also has a sister in the capital, named Cui Hongyu, who is the oiran of Yichun Tower in the West City of the capital. This girl is not an ordinary person! When Cui Ming rushed into the officialdom , it was this Cui Hongyu who made money to support him, and later he became an official in the court, and it was this woman who spent a lot of money to support him, so that Cui Mingchong had the opportunity to enter Fulinan's sight!"

Lin Yun nodded thoughtfully, looked up, and saw Qi Changyun staring at him meaningfully. He said with a smile: "Master Qi, what do you think I am doing?"

Qi Changyun joked: "Lin Zhongtang is a smart man, doesn't he still understand what I mean?"

Lin Yun pretended to be stupid and said blankly: "Master Qi, you might as well say it directly. If I guess wrong, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Hmph! If Lin Zhongtang wants to deal with Cui Mingchong properly, it is better to start with his sister. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"

Lin Yun stood up and said, "Mr. Qi, please make arrangements. I want to see Cui Mingchong!"

Qi Changyun nodded, stood up and walked out of the study.

Watching him leave, Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. This old guy was talking here and there, refusing to speak his mind, but he probably meant that he hoped he could silence Cui Ming.

When things got to this point, it was time to end.

As long as Cui Mingchong is still alive, not only will he be a big threat to Lin Yun, but Qi Changyun will also feel uncomfortable because he helped Lin Yun hide Cui Mingchong secretly.

If these things are revealed, the problem will be big. The emperor will probably be fine, but the fifth prince will definitely be offended.

Based on Qi Changyun's caution, he naturally did not want to be implicated.

Qi Changyun had been emphasizing Cui Mingchong's sister, and there was obviously a lot in it, which made Lin Yun even more curious.

After half a cup of tea, Qi Changyun said with a smile: "Lin Zhongtang, please come this way!"

Lin Yun then followed him out of the study, where a beautiful maidservant had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Master Qi, what do you mean?"

"I will not go with Lin Zhongtang! This maid is specially designed to serve Master Cui! She will take you there!"

At this time, the maid bowed and saluted, her voice was very pleasant, and she looked delicate.

"I've met Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Okay! Please lead the way!"

Afterwards, he followed the maid towards the backyard of Qi Mansion.

Qi Changyun, with his hands behind his back, watched Lin Yun walk into the Moon Gate and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Qi Rui walked out of the next room and said, "Dad, why did you mention Cui Hongyu just now?"

Qi Changyun said helplessly: "If we don't mention her, Lin Zhongtang will definitely be determined to silence Cui Mingchong! Now that the fifth prince has almost recovered, if he is serious and insists on tracking down Cui Mingchong, won't our Qi family become cannon fodder?"

Qi Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Having said that, isn't Cui Hongyu Meng Zhongtang's confidante? With Lin Zhongtang's intelligence, he will definitely follow the clues and find out Meng Yuan's head! If that matter is leaked..."

Qi Changyun gently stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "Rui'er, when you are an official in the capital, especially a high official, you must always know how to assess the situation! My father and Meng Yuan have a good relationship in private, but they are not close to each other yet, and there is no need. Wipe his butt and become a sacrifice! If dad doesn't say anything, if something goes wrong in the future, our Qi family will be the first to be unlucky! As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist, do you understand what dad is thinking about?"

Qi Rui sighed inwardly, this circle is too complicated.

The interests were so intertwined that Qi Rui couldn't figure out which side his Qi family was on.

However, Qi Changyun did this because he was stimulated by Lin Yun's words just now, or perhaps out of guilty conscience. In comparison, the Ministry of War's deficit is only a minor problem, but if that unspeakable secret is leaked, it will be a huge blow.

He could vaguely feel that his father was at war between heaven and man, but he still had not made up his mind.

Here, Lin Yun followed the maid to a small courtyard. As soon as he walked in the door, a sharp dagger suddenly pressed against his chin.

"If you move again, I'll kill you!"

Lin Yun froze on the spot and slowly raised his hands.

"Master Cui, what do you mean? Do you still want to assassinate me?"

Only then did Cui Mingchong see the person clearly. He was so frightened that he quickly put away the dagger and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Lin Zhongtang, spare your life!! I, the official... didn't know it was you!"

Lin Yun reached out and touched his chin, and said with a wry smile: "What's going on? Is Master Cui not having a good time in Qi Mansion?"

Cui Mingchong smiled sadly: "No! Mr. Qi treats Xiaguan... very well! It's just that Xiaguan doesn't know what he's doing, especially when he heard that Fulin'an has been brought to justice by the emperor, so he can't sleep at night!"

He was able to climb from the grassroots to the position of Minister of Household Affairs, so he was naturally extremely smart. How could he fail to recognize the situation?
I know very well how dangerous my current situation is.

If it weren't for the talkative people in the capital and the fear of being encountered by acquaintances, he would have run away long ago.

Lin Yun bent down to help him up, and said with a smile: "Okay! Master Cui, don't worry! As long as I'm supporting you, the sky won't fall! But the premise is that you trust me! If you don't know anyone now, If you don’t believe it, then I can’t do anything about it, so Mr. Cui can just ask for his blessings!”

He said this just to stabilize Cui Mingchong's mood, and he certainly couldn't really let it go.

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up, he cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to believe in Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "If you have anything to say, come into the room and say it!"

After that, walk into the hall first.

After the two sat down, Lin Yun said: "Cui Mingchong, I believe you should know the current situation outside! It must be very unfavorable to you! I don't have any good solutions, so I came to see you and want to hear your thoughts. ! Of course, if you have any plans, you can tell us!"

Cui Mingchong frowned and stared, seeming to be hesitating.

Lin Yun understood that he was weighing the pros and cons and analyzing whether Lin Yun was reliable.

So Lin Yun was not in a hurry and just stared at the scenery outside the door in a daze.

After about a stick of incense, Cui Mingchong suddenly said: "Lin Zhongtang, actually, Xiaguan has a sister in the capital. I guess Master Qi has already mentioned it to you!"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "I mentioned it! What? Can your sister help?"

Cui Mingchong said: "That's right! I no longer dare to expect that the senior official will be reinstated and return to the household department. As long as I can save my life, I will be thankful. So, I hope Lin Zhongtang can see that I have done a lot for you." Come on, escort the official to Yichun Tower! Once there, the official will have his own way to escape, and I guarantee that he will never appear in front of adults in this life! Let alone anyone from the imperial court!"

His words had revealed his distrust of Lin Yun, and at the same time, they were also an explanation.

Cui Mingchong knew very well how serious the consequences would be if Lin Yun asked him to assassinate the Fifth Prince. Now he has no value. If he still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he will only die.
