The two people who took the money nodded one after another, their eyes full of surprise. As Ye Mingsheng's personal soldiers, the two of them earned a bit more than ordinary people, but they were so good in Jufeng Pavilion. Eating a meal in a restaurant is also very painful. Now being able to "eat and drink at public expense" with Ye Mingsheng is undoubtedly the happiest thing.
After arranging his men, Ye Mingsheng, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked into Jufeng Building. Because it was still some time before the meal, there were not many people in the restaurant. When he saw someone coming into the shop, he immediately He just came up and greeted with a smile: "Hello, sir, are you alone?"
"I have an appointment with your boss!" Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
The clerk was stunned when he heard this. He looked Ye Mingsheng up and down, and then he didn't dare to neglect. After calling out "Wait a moment," he hurriedly reported back.
After a while, Liu Shilin smiled and walked out from upstairs. Because the hall on the first floor was crowded and crowded, it was not the place to talk. The two just smiled in agreement and didn't say much.
Under the guidance of Liu Shilin, Ye Mingsheng came with him to an upper room on the second floor of Jufeng Pavilion. As soon as he sat down in the room, Liu Shilin put his hands on his hands and said with a smile:
"Master Ye has great ambitions, I am indeed right!"
Ye Mingsheng didn't care about Liu Shilin's compliment. He said directly: "Master Liu, I have been thinking about your plan all night. The possibility of success is very high and very tempting. I can agree to it, but I have a question. , you must give me an accurate letter!"
Liu Shilin was a little surprised to see Ye Mingsheng being so straight to the point when they first met. After pondering for a moment, he said very seriously: "Master Ye, it's okay if you say so!"
"Master Liu, are you or the Liu family working for that noble man?"
Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice, and after saying that, his eyes focused on Liu Shilin's face, as if he wanted to get some clues from the handsome face of the eldest young master of the Liu family.
Liu Shilin seemed a little surprised by Ye Mingsheng's question. He frowned slightly and fell into silence. He seemed very entangled...
Seeing Liu Shilin's behavior, Ye Mingsheng continued to add:
"Master Liu, you should know that Wang Kangxin's uncle is Wang Zhongsen of Qianhu, Supervision Department. If I implement your plan, it will be tantamount to betraying Wang Kangxin. How can the Wang family's uncle and nephew tolerate me at that time? ?”
"Being targeted by a Supervisor Qianhu is enough to make people frightened!"
Liu Shilin was not surprised when he heard Ye Mingsheng's concerns. After all, this was a very real problem that everyone knew. In the Zhou Dynasty, although the Supervision Department was very reviled behind the scenes, few people dared to do so. Mess with these cruel people.
And just when he was thinking about how to tell Ye Mingsheng, the door was suddenly opened by someone. Shen Jianzhong, who was a little disheveled and had a touch of rouge on his body, walked in with a smile and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Long time no see, Mingsheng!"
Seeing Shen Jianzhong suddenly barging in, Ye Mingsheng's expression suddenly became very exciting.
He came back to his senses two seconds later, stood up, gave Shen Jianzhong a deep salute, and then said;
"Students have met Master Shen!"
Ye Mingsheng never expected that he would meet Shen Jianzhong here. When he was still in Zhaowu Camp, Shen Jianzhong also served in Zhaowu Camp as a instructor and taught Ye Mingsheng the art of war for a period of time. One of Ye Mingsheng's teachers, but although the two have the status of teacher and student, their friendship is only average.
In Ye Mingsheng's past impression, his master Shen definitely had some abilities, but he didn't have any of the shortcomings that a man should have.
However, Shen Jianzhong was quite a powerful person. He served as an instructor in Zhaowu Camp and taught art of war for two years before being transferred to the Ministry of War.
Ye Mingsheng has never seen him again since then. He never expected to see him again in the Gongdu Kingdom, thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Shen Jianzhong smiled and helped Ye Mingsheng up, and then sighed:
"When I was in Zhaowu Camp, I knew that you, Mingsheng, were a hero among men. Sure enough, in just a few years, you have already achieved the position of commander. You are really a formidable young man!"
Shen Jianzhong's words immediately made Ye Mingsheng blush, and he quickly said: "Master Shen is so complimentary."
After a few words of greeting, the three people in the room sat down again. Shen Jianzhong sat on the main seat. Ye Mingsheng and Liu Shilin sat on the left and right respectively. Their eyes scanned the room invisibly. Shen Jianzhong and Liu Shilin had a feeling in their hearts. Confuse······
If he remembered correctly, Shen Jianzhong was transferred to the Ministry of War to serve as the chief of the sixth rank. Obviously, it is impossible for a chief of the Ministry of War to appear here. There must be something fishy about Shen Jianzhong's appearance here. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng, although He didn't say anything, but there was an undetectable flash of color in his eyes.
Seemingly aware of Ye Mingsheng's strangeness, Shen Jianzhong didn't care. He smiled slightly and proactively said:
"When I left Zhaowu Camp, I didn't stay in the Ministry of War for long. Just by some chance, I was transferred to the Supervision Department. Thanks to Mr. Chen's favor, I was transferred two months ago to the Liaoyang Supervision Department as a Qianhu , the token in Shilin’s hand is mine!”
As soon as Ye Mingsheng heard this, he suddenly understood and all the doubts in his heart were solved. He immediately cupped his fists towards Shen Jianzhong and said:
"Congratulations, Master Shen!"
Shen Jianzhong smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Ye Mingsheng and said meaningfully: "Mingsheng, I understand that this is a serious matter. It is a good thing for you to be cautious, but if you have any concerns, you might as well speak up!"
Ye Mingsheng was silent for a moment after hearing this. For him, since Shen Jianzhong is also the Supervisory Department Qianhu, there is no doubt that Shen Jianzhong, who has the title of master and apprentice with him, is undoubtedly more trustworthy than Wang Zhongsen. Coupled with Shen Jianzhong's plan, It is undoubtedly more beneficial to myself, and I can earn more credit...
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng already made a decision in his heart, and immediately glanced at Liu Shilin sitting aside.
Young Master Liu was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Ye Mingsheng meant, saluted Shen Jianzhong, and then exited the room.
Seeing that he and Shen Jianzhong were the only two people left in the room, Ye Mingsheng smiled bitterly and said to Shen Jianzhong: "I am not satisfied with Master Shen. I have something in the hands of Wang Zhongsen and Wang Kangxin."
Then Ye Mingsheng told Shen Jianzhong about his killing of bandits and misappropriation of money, as well as about forcing Wang Kangxin to sign and pledge on official documents.
After listening to Ye Mingsheng's story, Shen Jianzhong thought for a while, and then said with some sadness: "Mingsheng, you are confused!"
Ye Mingsheng lowered his head deeply and said with a look of repentance: "I know that what I did is not allowed by military law and I am inevitable. So when Wang Kangxin threatened me with this, I could only join in with him and hope that Master Shen can give me a chance to change my ways!"
Shen Jianzhong took a deep look at Ye Mingsheng, his sharp eyes made Ye Mingsheng feel a little embarrassed, and then he said in a low voice: "The two things you committed, Mingsheng, are enough to kill you, but the imperial court training Talent is not easy to come by, and since you are willing to sincerely repent, as your teacher, I am also willing to give you a chance, and I will handle this matter for you!"
At this point, Shen Jianzhong's voice paused, and then he said coldly:
'That's what happened this time. If Ye Mingsheng does something that violates military law in the future, I will kill you first without anyone else. Do you understand? "
Sensing Shen Jianzhong's attitude, Ye Mingsheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he nodded heavily and pretended to be very grateful and said: "Thank you Master Shen for this. If I violate military law in the future, I won't bother Master Shen to take action. I, Ye, am willing to commit suicide to thank the world!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's attitude, Shen Jianzhong's expression softened, then he pondered for a moment, changed the topic, and said slowly, "Did Wang Kangxin tell you when to take action?"
"Not yet. Only Wang Kangxin knows the specific time of the operation. He only told me to be ready in Ruishan County and be ready to block the palace army at any time!" Ye Mingsheng said directly:
Shen Jianzhong thought for a while after hearing this, and then told him: "If there is any news from them, come and report it immediately!"
"I understand!" Ye Mingsheng nodded and said;
After talking about the business, Shen Jianzhong called Liu Shilin back. The three of them had a banquet in the room, and discussed the details of the plan while eating and drinking. It was not until Shen Jianzhong was too drunk that the dinner was called off.
Under the escort of Ye Dong and Ye Kui, Ye Mingsheng returned to Liu Mansion and lay on the bed drunkenly. Because he was taking the Chinese medicine prepared by Pei Zhixiu for him, he did not want to drink at the banquet. But because Shen Jianzhong and Liu Shilin were so kind, he had no choice but to accompany them.
Although he drank a lot of wine tonight, Ye Mingsheng looked a little red in the face and smelled of alcohol all over his body. However, because the wine-making technology in this era was not yet developed and the alcohol content was not high, he was very lucky. Ming Sheng's head is still very clear and calm.
His "Shenshi" Shen Jianzhong can be said to be a very capable person. He once served as a staff general next to the chief assistant Shangguan Hongyuan Hongyuan, and participated in the planning of the largest campaign between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Kipchak Khanate in the past thirty years. , Beichuan Battle and a series of combat plans were highly valued by the chief minister.
Later, Shen Jianzhong was sent abroad and was transferred to the sixth rank and first battalion of the cavalry imperial army, commanding three thousand cavalry. Shen Jianzhong performed very well and made great military achievements, beheading many Kipchaks and Luobei people.
