Here comes the problem!
Who is Shen Jianzhong?
He is one of the four most senior envoys of the Supervision Department, and the chief spy of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
He colluded with Dalongchang Company and used bribery to lure himself, an army attache, into trouble. What was his plot?
Thinking of this, four words instantly appeared in Ye Mingsheng's mind - government-business collusion!
Generally speaking, the collusion between officials and businessmen is all about seeking money!
Based on his understanding of Shen Jianzhong's greed for money and lust, Ye Mingsheng boldly guessed that Shen Jianzhong should be looking for him to do some kind of business, and this business is most likely not a serious business. The most important thing is that this business must be very serious. Huge profits!
In Liaoyang, there are not many businesses that meet the above conditions. Although Ye Mingsheng still doesn't know what the specific business is, he can make a rough guess in his mind.
Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng understood something in his heart. He, Mr. Ye, was not an honest and loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In such a troubled time where the country was divided and the country could fall apart at any time, he did something illegal and indisciplined. There is no psychological burden at all!
As the saying goes, "A horse can't fatten without night grass, and a man can't be rich without windfall!" He, Ye Mingsheng, had never planned to make a fortune with his meager salary. If Shen Jianzhong really wanted to find a way to make a fortune, he wouldn't mind. Get involved and get a piece of the pie!
What's more, when he was in the palace capital, Shen Jianzhong revealed the news about the Zhenwu Army to himself and encouraged himself to join the Zhenwu Army. Ye Mingsheng didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he probably had already planned it and had a far-reaching plan.
Therefore, if I reject him now, I will naturally hate him. In a place like Liaoyang, where all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed, offending the leader of the Liaoyang Supervision Department, the largest spy leader in Liaoyang, will definitely not bring any good results.
Moreover, after sending such a large sum of money to Li Guangbin, he is now short of silver. This thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and it can help him accomplish many things.
Therefore, after carefully considering the pros and cons, Ye Mingsheng decided to accept the thousand taels of silver.
Although the money was collected, Ye Mingsheng still felt a little emotional...
Now that he decided to return to Liaoyang, Ye Mingsheng had a hunch that he would continue to be involved with Shen Jianzhong, the chief spy of the Supervision Department, but he did not expect that the matter would come to this point. He had not returned to Liaoyang yet. Shen Jianzhong has already come to the door!
As for the "master" in Liu Chunfu's mouth, Ye Mingsheng didn't ask much. After all, if Liu Chunfu was willing to talk, he would have already said it. There was no need for him to speak. And since Liu Chunfu didn't say anything, even if he asked, he shouldn't be able to ask anything.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, Ye Mingsheng felt that the other party should most likely be a collaborator in Shen Jianzhong's business and a high-ranking person. As for the specific identity, it would take seven days to go to Mingyan Tower and You won’t know until you meet someone.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was secretly speculating in his study, Liu Chunfu, who left his yard, carefully looked behind him and saw that Ye Mingsheng did not send anyone to follow him. Then he came to a very hidden alley. , there was a carriage without any sign, waiting for him.
"Walk!"
Liu Chunfu entered the carriage and ordered the driver who had been waiting for a long time:
After receiving the order, the coachman raised the whip in his hand, hit the horse on the buttocks, and drove the carriage out of the alley. About a stick of incense later, the carriage carrying Liu Chunfu entered the Anfu of Tai'anfang in Luo'an Dongcheng District. .
After getting off the carriage, Liu Chunfu came to the inner courtyard of An Mansion with familiarity. A moment later, he appeared in a study room.
At this time, in the study room, a tall, elegant-looking middle-aged scribe, dressed in brocade silk and with a piece of warm white jade hanging on his waist, was leaning on the Taishi chair, looking intently at the "Book of Changes" in his hand.
Liu Chunfu stood quietly at the side of the study with his head bowed respectfully, not daring to take a breath for fear of disturbing the middle-aged scribe's enjoyment of reading.
After standing for a long time with a cup of tea, the middle-aged scribe was a little unfinished. He placed the "Book of Changes" in his hand on the desk, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea in the cup. Mingqian Longjing said slowly:
"Have you met that Ye Mingsheng?"
Facing the middle-aged scribe's inquiry, Liu Chunfu did not dare to be careless and said respectfully: "I reported back to the Third Master that he saw Ye Mingsheng, and he accepted the thousand taels of silver."
"Shopkeeper Liu, what do you think of Ye Mingsheng?" Putting down the tea cup, the middle-aged scribe said calmly:
"Since Mr. Shen recommended him, then this person is probably not an ordinary person..." Liu Chunfu replied in a deep voice:
"How do you say it?" Hearing what Liu Chunfu said, the middle-aged scribe also became interested.
"This person is very careful, cautious, and keeps his emotions and anger hidden. Although he tried his best to hide it, I can see that after he got the one thousand taels of silver notes, he looked a little hesitant and entangled, as if he didn't want this letter. silver!
"I have given money to many warriors, but these rough and tumble people are all eager to take the money when they see it. If someone like Ye Mingsheng can remain calm when encountering such a large sum of money, I still First time encountering it!”
Recalling the situation at that time, Liu Chunfu spoke in detail, his words full of praise for Ye Mingsheng.
The middle-aged scribe nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"Since Shopkeeper Liu and Shen Jianzhong are so optimistic about this person, I will go and meet him for a while. This Ye Mingsheng was born in a poor family. He has made such great achievements at a young age and has become a fifth-grade general. , he is considered extraordinary, and he might also be a useful person in the future..."
"The Third Master is right!" Liu Chunfu echoed in a deep voice:
When the two were talking in the study, no one noticed that outside the study, a young and beautiful woman was standing quietly outside the room, eavesdropping on their conversation.
Listening to the following conversation between the two, which was all about insignificant matters, the young woman rolled her eyes, quietly retreated, returned to her room, and recorded everything she heard on a piece of paper. superior.
After writing the note, the young woman hurried to the back garden of the mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, the young woman threw the note into a very hidden hole in the rockery, and then returned to her room along the same route.
