Other courtyard.
Yun Zhiyong was a little shocked.
He had heard people say before that his grandfather Yunying, the great elder, was as cunning as a fox. He once even got into a fight because of it.
My grandfather is a rare good man, how could he be as cunning as a fox?
But now he realizes that what others said may be right.
"Zhiyong, does it feel strange?" Yunying said with half-squinted eyes.
"Yes, Grandpa, I'm a little confused." Yun Zhiyong nodded, he really didn't quite understand.
"Do you know what your grandfather and I are most powerful at?" Yunying said calmly.
"Is it the ability to do business?"
This is all Yun Zhiyong can think of.
The Yun family can occupy a place among a group of merchants in Linze City, and Yunying's contribution is indispensable.
Yunying's ability to serve as the Great Elder and have a transcendent status in the Yun family is inseparable from this.
"Back then, when I was young, there were at least a few people whose business abilities were not as good as mine. But why did I become the great elder in the end and not them?"
Yun Yingying paused for a moment, and when he saw Yun Zhiyong's blank eyes, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This grandson is just a fool, and his ability to comprehend is indeed not strong enough.
"It's not about my ability. The key point is that I stand in the right position every time... Do you understand?" Yunying said calmly.
"Ming, I understand."
Yun Zhiyong was a bit naive, but not stupid. He understood what Yunying meant, but the image of Yunying was very different from the image he had in mind before, which made him stunned.
"Go back and study it carefully." Yunying waved his hand.
…
Yunyang Bo walked all the way, thinking about what to do.
Although he has decided to spread the news privately.
But who is going to spread this news? What kind of talent is reliable?
After much thought, he couldn't think of a reliable candidate.
He sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes. After a while, suddenly, a person appeared in his mind.
Yun Ying is not the only elderly member of the Yun family.
There is also an old man from the Yun family who has lived in seclusion in Linze City for a long time.
Because he has not participated in the affairs of the Yun family for many years, he has basically been forgotten by most of the Yun family.
"Go and meet Yun Xinlao."
Yun Xinlao lives in the south of the city, and only a few senior executives of the Yun family know about it.
And Yunyang Bo happens to be the one who knows the inside story.
Even if Yun Xinlao's wisdom is slightly inferior to that of Great Elder Yunying, it is not much different.
In the evening, Yunyang Bo finally arrived at the door of Yun Xin's hometown.
Yun Xinlao is named Xinyuan.
When he was young, he was called Mr. Yuan. When he got older, everyone in the Yun family called him Yun Xinlao.
The entrance of Yun Xinlao's house is not as grand as the entrance of the great elder Yunying's house.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary city home.
At the gate, there were several children squatting on the ground playing.
Yunyang Bo got off the sedan, walked to the door, and knocked gently on the door.
A clear voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The door is unlocked.
After Yunyang Bo opened the door, he turned sideways and closed it again.
Then, he stepped into the courtyard.
I saw a man in his fifties in the yard, dressed in simple cloth, holding a kettle in his hand, watering the flowers slowly.
It is winter now, and there are not many flowers blooming in the yard, only a few kinds such as plum blossoms.
"I've seen Yun Xinlao."
Yunyang Bo stepped forward and saluted.
He did not look down upon the middle-aged man in front of him in the slightest because of his simplicity.
In his opinion, Yun Xinlao and Great Elder Yun Ying are the same type of people, both are extremely wise people who can judge the situation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to ask Yun Xinlao for advice.
"Yang Bo, why do you come to my place when you have time?" Yun Xinlao said sideways while watering the water.
"Yun Xinlao, something big happened in the Yun family..."
Yunyang Bo suppressed his impetuous temper and briefly told what happened to the Yun family recently.
"I already know what you said. Before you came, you went to the Great Elder's place. What did he say?" Yun Xinlao smiled slightly, his expression still calm.
"What the Great Elder means is for me to find someone to spread the news privately, and then wait for the results..."
Yunyang Bo repeated the attitude and words of the great elder Yunying.
Yun Xinlao pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "You are confused, how can you do this?"
Yunyang Bo was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm going to choose loyal people, why can't I do it?"
"Although Luo Xingchen is young, as an imperial envoy, he has won the emperor's trust and is the youngest person to be elected in the capital. How can such a person not see through what you are doing?"
"He doesn't need evidence. As long as there are rumors in the city, he will directly send people to arrest you and other people who are not in harmony with Yun Zhen one by one. When the time comes, they will be tortured. How can you bear to say nothing?" Yun Zhen said. The old and new sneered.
"He, he can't be so vicious, right?" Yunyang Bo said.
"Why not? His father is the Zhongyong Marquis. He himself personally experienced the battle of Jianxi Pass a few days ago. He has seen a lot of battle formations and will definitely not lack the desire to kill."
"Don't take chances. If your father and I weren't close friends, I wouldn't have said this to you." Yun Xinlao said slowly.
After Yun Xinlao's words, Yunyang Bo believed it.
As Yun Xinlao said...
Yunyang Bo's father and Yun Xinlao were close friends, so Yun Xinlao would not harm him.
But there was one thing he didn't understand.
"But what the great elder means..."
What Yunyang Bo didn't expect to understand was the great elder's attitude.
According to what Yun Xinlao said, didn't Great Elder Yunying make a huge mistake?
However, Great Elder Yunying has indeed made small mistakes over the years, but never big mistakes.
"When the Great Elder was young, he had a nickname called the Fox of the Yun Family."
"Anyone with a nickname like Fox is basically a cunning person. Look at Beili's Fox from Beili's family. He is extremely slick in leading his troops."
"The Fox of the Yun Family, the nickname given to the eldest elder is not someone else's random arrangement of him. It was built up one after another, one after another."
"He asked you to spread the news, why didn't he go himself?"
"He is just waiting for you to go and borrow your head to claim credit from Luo Xingchen."
Yun Xinlao's face was solemn, not as relaxed as at the beginning.
"This...is this what the great elder means? How could he be like this? He is also the one who suffered the damage from the division of land."
Yunyang Bo's eyes were dull, and he already believed in Yun Xinlao's judgment.
But what he couldn't accept was that the great elder Yunying actually used him, a junior, as a stepping stone.
"Most of the wealth he gets every year now comes from doing business. The output of the fields is not much for him anymore. He doesn't care whether he divides the fields or not." Yun Xin said.
