Being directly suppressed by Wang Fenglin and unable to fight back made Cui Fanye feel angry and panicked.
But he also knew that, let alone himself now, even when the Cui family was still in its heyday, he could not be Wang Fenglin's opponent.
Now, not only Lin Ye was thinking about Wang Fenglin's next move, Cui Fanye also had to think about it.
Because he could already tell from Wang Fenglin's eyes that this person wanted to plot him into something.
If the Wang family simply wanted to kill Lin Ye, there was actually no need to make such a move.
Cui Fanye knew how powerful the Wang family was and how deep the Wang family's heritage was.
He had also heard that the Jianghu forces controlled by the Wang family were hidden in Jianghu. Many forces that seemed impossible to oppose the imperial court were actually controlled by the Wang family.
Therefore, even though Lin Ye's current cultivation level is comparable to the strong ones in the Wuyue Realm, the Wuyue Realm that the Wang family can produce will probably kill Lin Ye just by heaping lives.
But is it necessary?
Lin Ye is not the target of the Wang family, the Wang family's goal is to destroy the emperor's plan.
Yunzhou is the first step for the emperor to take, and of course it is the most important step.
If the emperor's layout in Yunzhou can be destroyed, whether or not to kill Lin Ye is just a matter of course.
Cui Fuye understood better than others why the Wang family came forward at this time.
Because of the leader of the Wang family.
If he chooses to retreat when the emperor makes his first big move, then the leader of the Wang family will be forced by the emperor step by step to become a loner.
So many noble and old clans are looking at the Wang family, so many people are counting on the Wang family.
The Wang family cannot lose its leadership position, so something must be done.
If Yunzhou blocks the emperor, then they can also protect the prosperous and prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cui Fanye knew very well that the current confrontation between the Wang family and the emperor was actually still testing each other.
Even if it involves an important border official like Lin Ye, he is still testing.
This kind of thing can be called a temptation until the fish is dead and the net is broken.
If it really comes to the last step, what the Xie family did back then, the Wang family can only do it again according to the Xie family's example.
But of course the Wang family knew that they had no confidence in overthrowing the royal family. If they had, they wouldn't be so passively defensive now.
And here, we have to talk about the emperor's behavior of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid more than ten years ago, and the emperor's strategy of keeping a low profile.
At that time, even the Wang family was indeed deceived.
Today, Tianzi just relied on such a skill to reverse the extremely unfavorable situation for the royal family.
At that time, the Wang family had the ability to change the emperor, and the person they pushed out and openly became the prime minister of three dynasties was just a pawn.
But the Wang family made the wrong move.
In Geling City at that time, there were actually quite a few people who were qualified to compete for the throne.
People from the Wang family feel that these royal families who have always been in Geling City are relatively difficult to control.
These people with royal family backgrounds have been exposed to and learned how to control power from the beginning, and people with the same background as today's emperor are more likely to be controlled by the royal family.
This wrong move directly led to the current passive situation of the Xungui clan.
The point is, today's people are really good at acting.
When he was still weak, he acted as an absurd, foolish and idiotic emperor, and deceived everyone.
After that, every time he made a move, he would act as if he was extremely sincere and had no choice but to do so.
There was no trace of performance in his performance in front of the noble family.
He can make his opponents believe... This is the last time for me, and I will never touch your interests again. This is all for the long-term sake of the country, and I have to do it as a last resort.
How many times have the courtiers been deceived by the emperor's acting skills?
Think about Tuoba Lie.
Why did Tuoba Lie seem so hasty when he raised his troops in the end, and even when he lost, he seemed so hasty in losing? It's because before the emperor took action against Tuoba Lie, he was still acting as Tuoba Lie's confidant brother, showing deep brotherhood.
At the last moment, Tuoba Lie might still be thinking that the emperor had no choice but to take action against him.
Cui Fanye thought of this and took a deep breath.
The emperor is terrible, and the Wang family is also terrible.
Not to mention Wang Luoshen, the head of the Wang family who is known as the immovable patron king, even Wang Fenglin's scheming in the city may have some confidence to fight the emperor.
He now had to figure out where Wang Fenglin wanted to push him.
He just came back to watch the fun and didn't want to jump into the pit himself.
While I was thinking about it, the inn boy cautiously came to the door and whispered that there was a guest asking to see him.
He asked someone to come in, guessing that it should be someone sent by Wang Fenglin.
The person who walked through the door was none other than Wang Fenglin's subordinate Jingran.
When the limelight was not good, Jingran came back immediately and did not continue to take risks.
"Master Cui."
Jingran leaned over and saluted. There was no hypocrisy in his attitude, he was sincere and respectful enough.
Wang Fenglin asked: "Who are you?"
Jing Ran said: "My young master just met the young master two days ago. I came here this time on the order of the young master to ask Mr. Cui for a favor."
Cui Fuye tensed up, but there was no change on his face.
"As long as it is the young master's order, Mr. Cui will spare no effort. If anything happens, just say it."
Jing Ran then said: "Young Master said that he would like to ask Mr. Cui to write a few words."
"How many words should I write?"
Cui Fanye raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What words should I write?"
Jingran came closer and lowered his voice and said something in his ear. Cui Fanye's face immediately became even more ugly.
It's just that the change in his face was all caused by him.
How could a person at his level let emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy be expressed on his face so easily?
After Jing Ran finished speaking, he took a step back and clasped his fists and said, "Young Master said, no matter how many people are involved in the matter in Yunzhou, it is just a small matter. What can really touch the root is in Geling, in the court." Hall."
Cui Fuye pretended to take a deep breath and his expression became serious.
After a long time, he nodded as if he had made a firm decision.
According to what Jingran said, he wrote something and gave it to Jingran. After Jingran thanked him again, he saluted politely and left respectfully.
It has to be said that Wang Fenglin is admirable in terms of teaching his subordinates.
"Good means."
After Jingran left, Cui Fuye subconsciously muttered to himself.
"No wonder I was able to get the attention of that patron king. There is indeed something special about me."
Just now, before leaving, Jingran told him that after writing these things, Mr. Cui can leave Zhulou County.
He said that Yunzhou would be unrest for a long time, and now Mr. Cui didn't have anyone capable to help him, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
This is another show of goodwill by Wang Fenglin to Cui Fanye and another demonstration.
If you are allowed to go, you can go. If you are not allowed to go, you cannot go.
But Cui Fanye suddenly didn't want to leave. He didn't want to stay in this tiny place, let alone take a risk in Yunzhou. He wanted to go to Geling.
He wanted to see if Wang Fenglin's move would work.
If this move works, then the situation on Yunzhou's side will indeed become insignificant.
No matter how important Lin Ye is, no matter how high-ranking an official he is, he is just a corner of the powerful.
The court is the battlefield for contention.
A few days later, Yunzhou City.
While Lin Ye was dealing with official duties, the soldiers ran to the door, leaned over and said, Mr. Shi Jintang sent someone back to ask for an interview, saying that he must meet with the Protector.
Lin Ye ordered people to come in, and soon after, the people sent by Shi Jintang strode in. This person, whom Lin Ye knew, was a close confidant of Shi Jintang. His name was Song Shuxin, and he was also a person with a very high status in the Yu Ling Guards.
After Shi Jintang was promoted to the governor of Yunzhou, Song Shuxin led the Yuling Guards. He did not have the official position of suppressing the governor, but he had the actual power to suppress the governor.
"Lord Protector."
As soon as Song Shuxin entered the door, he bowed and saluted and said, "Master Shi sent me back to tell the Governor that something happened."
After saying this, he raised his head, and Lin Ye saw the worry in his eyes.
"What happened?"
"Master Shi was entrusted by Master Protector to personally take Yu Lingwei to visit various places, and indeed found many people."
"There are people in every county who have received instructions. As long as the people show signs of making trouble, they will add fuel to the flames."
"Most of these people are wealthy gentry and businessmen from various places. Many of them have huge businesses and have huge wealth."
Lin Ye nodded.
Song Shuxin continued: "Master Shi personally investigated, and the more he investigated, the more he discovered that this may...have been taken advantage of."
Lin Ye asked: "What's the matter?"
Song Shuxin said: "It has been found out from many businessmen that when the current prime minister Ning Weimo was an official in Yunzhou, he sent a large amount of bribes to Ning Weimo."
Lin Ye's heart suddenly tightened.
Ning Weimo is not only an important minister of Dayu now, but also the leader of the ministers. He is also a person specially promoted by the emperor to be the first and assistant minister of the new king in the future.
"It's not until the end again..."
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
Song Shuxin said: "Your Excellency, you should know that it is the duty of Yu Lingwei to not allow such news to go unreported to His Majesty."
Lin Ye nodded: "I know."
"Everyone found has account books, and the records are clear, and they don't appear to be fake accounts that were made recently."
Song Shuxin said: "Master Shi has arranged for people to secretly send these things to Geling to be handed over to His Majesty."
"Lord Shi said, please also ask Lord Protector to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once this matter gets spread, Lord Ning may not be able to gain a foothold."
Lin Ye's brows were deeply furrowed at this time.
The opponent's first move seemed to be broken when he saw it, but the opponent immediately used his move to prepare a second move. This second move was defeated by him, who dispersed the Dongbo and Guzhu people. .
But who would have thought that these two broken moves were both real moves and false moves, so it doesn't matter if they were broken.
The opponent's target is not only the local official power of Yunzhou, but also the most important position in the court.
At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly realized.
This is not a declaration of war with him, nor is it a chess match with the emperor in Yunzhou.
This is to break the emperor's chess game step by step.
If Ning Weimo is lost, considering the current situation, it is much more terrible than losing a Lin Ye.
Lin Ye's role is at the border and at the local level, while Ning Weimo's role is at the center of power.
"besides......"
Song Shuxin said in a low voice: "Please be careful, Lord Protector. The confessions of these businessmen also involve you, Lord."
Lin Ye's heart moved.
Song Shuxin said: "Among those arrested, some swore that when Lord Ning was an official in Yunzhou, he once forced them to look for things like Chen Tie, saying that he wanted to pay tribute to the general Lin Ye... ..”
He looked at Lin Ye: "So, Lord Protector, Master Shi said... Lord Protector, please make preparations in advance."
Lin Ye hummed and clasped his fists: "Thank you very much for coming back here to tell me, and thank you Master Shi for taking such a risk to let you come back."
Song Shuxin said: "It's good for Lord Protector to know that Lord Shi is not easy. Not everyone in the Yuling Guards...not everyone listens to Lord Shi."
After saying this, Song Shuxin clasped his fists: "Sir, take care."
Then he turned around and walked away in a hurry.
Lin Ye was silent for a moment and said to himself: "What a good idea."
