Rich and powerful

"Then thank you Commander Qi!"

Ye Wanqing doesn't care about these things, no matter whether there is Qi Rui's business or not, thank you in advance.

Qi Rui looked embarrassed, and said: "Uh, the second lady has met Mrs. Ye Yushi, please give me some kind words for me!"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said: "It's natural, adults and concubines are also considered as our own, and we must not make it difficult for my father to lead Qi!" '

"Then it's time to work!"

After that, Qi Rui got up and left.

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

At this time, Lin Yun smiled wryly and said, "I didn't realize that your Ye family is quite powerful in the court, and a third-rank official like Commander Qi actually wants my old father-in-law to say something nice?"

Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Isn't it my father's identity as the Censor Yanguan? They have unclean asses, and they are most afraid of the Censor Yanguan! Three generations of my Ye family have been doing this, so even if they want revenge , the current Holy Majesty will not agree!"

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

Ye Wanqing sighed: "Master, you still can't feel how difficult these gangsters in the capital are! In fact, if my father really spoke up back then, he could indeed keep me! But once my father compromised, then the three generations of my Ye family will be clean Your reputation will be gone! At that time, you will definitely be drawn into a certain camp, you know that forming a party for private purposes is a taboo in the eyes of the emperor! How could my father do such a thing?"

"What's more, I do things alone. Since the interests of the princes of all walks of life are touched because of me, then I will take care of it myself!"

Looking at the upright second wife, Lin Yun felt a tinge of respect for her, including the Ye family.

There are too few such families that are not afraid of power.

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

It can be said that it is easy to be a corrupt official, all you need is a thought, but it is extremely difficult to be honest, because you have to endure various temptations every day.

Lin Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, after you say that, I'm a little curious about my father-in-law! Let's go, let's go to Yefu to see! By the way, do you want to buy some gifts?"

Ye Wanqing shook her head and said: "If you give my father a gift, be careful to send you to the government! The way of Xianggong is of no use to him!"

Lin Yun looked embarrassed, and suddenly became a little nervous. Although he has been walking along the way, it is a shady method. If this is discovered, even if there is no accident, there will be no peace. The most difficult thing to do at that time is Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing continued: "My father likes to eat roasted mutton and white dry wine, let's go to Yueshengzhai and buy some for him!"

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

This is definitely a clear stream in the capital city.

If he presented Cui Mingchong with roast mutton and white dry wine, he would probably be kicked out.

After that, the couple left Yunfu and went straight to Yueshengzhai.

Imperial Household Department.

Cui Mingchong was sitting in the middle of the hall dealing with all kinds of documents, and other officials from the household department were sitting on both sides of the lower head, all looking meticulous.

After all, they were doing things under the eyes of the emperor, and everyone dared not relax, all of them looked serious.

And Qi Rui was standing at the door, but he didn't go in.

Cui Mingchong was looking down at Zhezi, and vaguely sensed that there was someone in front of the door, so he looked up, and when he saw Qi Rui blinking at him, he immediately understood.

He got up and said: "All the ministers must sort out all the papers today, and I will hand them over to Lord Shangshu later!"Make no mistake! ! '

"Yes!!"

Everyone agreed in unison, but everyone saw Qi Rui and knew that he belonged to Cui Mingchong, so they were not surprised.

Then Cui Mingchong came out with his hands behind his back. He was wearing an official robe and a crown with flower feathers, and he looked dignified.

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

Asked: "How is it? Have you received Lin Yun?"

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

"Can he say why he came to Beijing this time?"

Qi Rui nodded quickly, and said: "He came here this time to discuss the sale of minerals with your lord!"

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and broke off the peach tree branch beside the Yonglu Road, and said with a smile: "This kid is really daring!" '

Qi Rui nodded and said: "Yes! However, according to our spies' report, 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, it has been Known by the Lin family, he should have secretly started fighting with the Lin family!"

"Have courage!! This kid is seasoned and steady, and he knows how to borrow strength. It seems that he came to Beijing this time to drag the court into trouble!"

What kind of person Cui Mingchong is, and Lin Yun's innocence, he has long been aware of it.

Qi Rui frowned and said, "What does your lord mean..."

"It doesn't matter! I have had an affair with Lord Longevity in private, and Lord Longevity also wants to use his hand to beat the Lin family! If it succeeds, this method can be applied to other feudal lords! Go down and keep an eye on Lin." Yun, monitor his every move in the capital and who he meets! Report to me again!"

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

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

Don't look at Cui Mingchong is now the emperor's celebrity, but he also hides a lot of secrets, which the emperor doesn't even know.

Once involved in a third-party force, it is very likely that it will be leaked. If the emperor finds out, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and even Cui Mingchong cannot bear it.

After all, being with a monarch is like accompanying a tiger, even if you are favored again, once the interests of the royal family are harmed, it will be a serious crime.

"Humble job understands!!"

Qi Rui turned around and left.

Cui Mingchong said again: "If you convey it to Lin Yun for me, it means that I will go to Yunfu in person tomorrow night and just tell him to wait!"

He still decided to meet with Lin Yun in advance to find out.

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

Cui Mingchong said with a smile: "It's okay! This old man Ye is just old and stubborn, and has a special status. He won't accept Lin Yun's tricks at all! And...if Lin Yun doesn't want to die, he probably doesn't have the guts to have too much contact with the Ye family!"

……

Here, Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing came to Yueshengzhai after leaving Yunfu.

This place is the only place in the capital that sells beef and mutton, and it can be regarded as a special feature of the capital.
