However, unlike the founders of companies on earth who are kicked out by investors and still receive a sum of money, if Ye Mingsheng is kicked out, the only thing waiting for him and his family is death... ·
Despite this dangerous situation, Ye Mingsheng does not regard the investment of the family members as a scourge. In his eyes, the power of the family members is a powerful double-edged sword. If used well, it can increase the damage of one's own strength. enemy.
But if it is not used properly, the power of aristocratic families can be the most deadly poison!
Ye Mingsheng wants to compete in the Central Plains and then conquer the world, so he must learn how to deal with the noble families, not only to guard against them, but also to make good use of them!
Just like this time, Ye Mingsheng got Cui Shao's handwriting from An Miaoyi, and then asked Gu Sansi to imitate Cui Shao's handwriting, and in the name of accompanying Ye Cui, he asked Cui Dakai to come to Fengzhou.
Through these actions, Ye Mingsheng created the illusion that Cui Shao was in contact with himself, thereby defeating Shen Jianzhong's conspiracy. This made good use of the power of the Cui family and Cui Shao's ambition...
And as Ye Mingsheng becomes more and more powerful, his contacts with family members will become more frequent. Therefore, how to treat them is an urgent problem for Ye Mingsheng.
The solution that Ye Mingsheng came up with is mainly to increase his "internal strength", develop his own strength, and increase the "valuation" of his company. Only by doing this can Ye Mingsheng be more confident to accept people from the aristocratic families. investment.
The investment from aristocratic families like the Cui family will inevitably dilute Ye Mingsheng's "equity in the company", but as long as the company gets bigger, their influence will weaken, and Ye Mingsheng can still control himself firmly. The power of this company!
In this way, the leadership of the "company" is still in Ye Mingsheng's hands. He can maximize the use of the power of the family members and at the same time minimize the side effects...
It is precisely because of this idea that Ye Mingsheng is not in a hurry to get in touch with the Cui family. His top priority now is to prepare for the next military action!
Although his proposal was rejected by Ye Mingsheng, Huo San was not frustrated. Instead, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ye Mingsheng and reported:
"Sir, this is the newly discovered stronghold of the Supervision Department in Fengzhou City, as well as some spies. What do you think of dealing with it, my lord?"
After hearing Huo San's report, Ye Mingsheng also became interested. After taking the paper and scanning it, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while and explained:
"We used Shen Jianzhong's sparrow this time. We should give Shen Jianzhong some reaction, otherwise he should become suspicious!"
"Let's do this. You pick out most of the strongholds of the Inspectorate's secret agents and strongholds we have in hand and clear them out!"
When he said this, Ye Mingsheng's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about what to eat for a while, but Gu Sansi and Huo San, who were standing aside, had serious expressions on their faces. It was clear to both of them that Ye Mingsheng's dull expression Behind his tone was full of blood. He ordered hundreds of people to be killed as soon as they came out...

Guangning Mansion, Cui Family
Cui Shao looked at Cui Dakai, who had his head lowered and remained silent, not daring to look at him. He felt a little disappointed and asked in a deep voice:
"What did you do in Fengzhou a few days ago?"
Upon hearing Cui Shao's inquiry, Cui Dakai still lowered his head and said:
"Ye Mingsheng asked someone to bring me a message, saying that Yun Mei misses her mother's family, and asked me to go see her and talk..."
"Is it that simple?" Cui Shao stared at his cousin closely and said:
"That's it, I'll have dinner with Yun Mei at Ye Mingsheng's place, chat, watch a few more plays and then come back!" Feeling Cui Shao's sharp eyes like a falcon, Cui Dakai finally raised his head and spread his hands. He said very aggrievedly:
At the end, in order to make Cui Shao believe what he said, he even swore:
"Third brother, what I said is true! If I, Cui Dakai, join forces with Ye Mingsheng, a wolf bastard, and do anything to harm our Cui family, I will be struck by lightning from the sky, and I will die miserably!"
“After death, we don’t enter our ancestors’ graves, and our corpses are exposed in the wilderness and become a lonely ghost!”
Hearing Cui Dakai's vicious oath, Cui Shao looked him up and down, but said nothing. He and Cui Dakai's cousins have been together for decades, and they have been playing together since they wore crotchless pants. Cui Shao knew Cui Dakai's personality very well when he asked himself. !
If you want to say that Cui Dakai usually gets some kickbacks, gets some filial piety from his subordinates, is just a prostitute, and bullies men and women, Cui Shao believes it...
But if he and Ye Mingsheng unite to harm the Cui family, then Cui Shao really doesn't believe a word of it!
"Tell me, do you have any clues that fell into Ye Mingsheng's hands?" Cui Shao picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea and asked lightly:
Listening to Cui Shao's inquiry, Cui Dakai's face suddenly stiffened. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said calmly:
"Third brother, I just feel sorry for Yun Mei as there is no one around her to talk to, so I, as the elder brother, will go and have a look..."
Before Cui Dakai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold snort from Cui Shao. Seeing that Cui Dakai still wanted to make excuses, Cui Shao scolded him sharply:
"Yunmei has been married to Fengshan County for more than 20 years, and I haven't seen you come to see her once. Now that Ye Mingsheng has received the news, you ran away quickly. You told me first that you wanted to In terms of brother-sister relationship, are you treating me like a fool?"
As soon as he heard that Cui Shao was angry, Cui Dakai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said everything at once.
"Third brother, I'm not a human being!"
"Ye Mingsheng, that little wolf, somehow knew that I was taking kickbacks and keeping an extramarital affair. He used my clues to ask me to go to Fengzhou to see Yun Mei. I didn't dare not go. ah!"
"Third brother, you believe me, I really didn't conspire with him! I was really just where he was, eating, chatting and watching movies with Yun Mei, I didn't do anything else!"
Listening to Cui Dakai's narration, Cui Shao was heartbroken and cursed:
"Cui Dakai, you are so old. You are really like a dog. You let your children and nephews play with you in the palm of your hand and you don't know it. Why did the Cui family give birth to a waste like you?"
Seeing that Cui Shao was really angry, Cui Dakai gritted his teeth and slapped him in the face with his big mouth!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Third brother, I was wrong, please spare me this time!"
Cui Dakai slapped himself more than ten times in a row, until he was so dizzy that stars appeared in his eyes. Cui Shao looked at his red and swollen cheeks and said coldly:
"From now on, stop everything you are in charge of the family, and just shut yourself up and think about your mistakes! Without my order, if you dare to step out of the room, I will chop off your feet!"
Hearing what Cui Shao said, Cui Dakai suddenly looked stern, but he also knew that Cui Shao was showing mercy, so he quickly said respectfully:
"Thank you, third brother!"
"Hmph, get out of here and stop being in my way!" Cui Shao said coldly:
"Yes, yes..." Seeing that Cui Shao was still angry, Cui Dakai quickly ran away.
Looking at Cui Dakai's leaving figure, Cui Shao sighed helplessly.
Although the Cui family he leads is known as the head of the three clans in Liaoyang, holding the top position of the Liaoyang clan, cooking oil in a hot fire, and blooming with flowers, even the governor Song Wenhui usually gives him three points of face and looks like he is in the sun, but In fact, it is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold!
Although the Cui family has many people, most of them are mediocre and incompetent people like Cui Dakai. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. But when Cui Shao looked around, he was surrounded by a group of pig teammates!
Just when Cui Shao was in a complicated mood, a handsome and luxuriously dressed young man stood outside his door, hesitating, wanting to go in to find Cui Shao, but not daring to go in... ······
Glancing at the man outside the door, Cui Shao, who was already a little irritable, couldn't help but feel a trace of anger rising in his heart, and shouted loudly:
"You are still hesitant and undecided when you reach the door. What do you look like, Cui Zibo?"
Hearing Cui Shao's angry shouting, Cui Zibo who was outside the door suddenly trembled. He looked at his father with some fear. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to walk into the room and saluted Cui Shaoshen.
"Father, I have something to ask of you!"
After taking a look at his legitimate son who was the governor of the Governor's Mansion, Cui Shao couldn't calm down, but he still said in a deep voice:
"speak!"
"Father, I want to marry my cousin!" Although he was a little afraid of his old man, Cui Zibo was still very determined when he said this, and his eyes were full of desire...
Hearing Cui Zibo's words, Cui Shao, who had always kept his emotions secret, suddenly frowned and looked sternly at his son in front of him.
"You want to marry An Miaoyi?"
Feeling Cui Shao's gaze, Cui Zibo suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, but when he thought of An Miaoyi's charming face and the beautiful eyes that haunted him so much that he could not help but turn around countless nights, Cui Zibo suddenly felt countless powers emerge in his heart. He nodded heavily and said affirmatively:
, "Father, yes, I like Miaoyi! I did it when I was a child, and I still do it now!"
"Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what marrying her means to your future?"
Looking at the lustful legitimate son in front of him, Cui Shao felt extremely disappointed, but he still gave Cui Zibo a chance, hoping that he would realize his mistake and return from the lost path.
As if sensing the disappointment in Cui Shao's words, Cui Zibo fell silent. Just when a glimmer of hope arose in Cui Shao's heart, Cui Zibo knelt down in front of him and kowtowed heavily.
"Father, my child is unfilial! I can accept that I will be inactive all my life, but I cannot live without Miaoyi. Without her, my life will have no meaning..."
Before Cui Zibo finished speaking, the furious Cui Shao picked up the teacup on the table and hit Cui Zibo hard on the head.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the tea cup that hit Cui Zibo's head shattered. The broken porcelain pieces caused Cui Zibo's skin to be splashed with blood. Cui Shao, who was extremely angry, pointed at Cui Zibo's face and cursed:
"How can you, such a bastard, say such a thing?"
"Can you still accept your own mediocrity?"
"You think your wings are hardened and you're very powerful, don't you?"
"Who are you without the family?"
"Do you think you are great if you can become the governor of the Governor's Palace?"
"You evildoer, you don't even think about Song Wenhui. Why did you let a young man like you, who just started serving as an official, become the governor all of a sudden?"
"Look at the clothes and accessories you are wearing. Sooner or later, the Cui family will be defeated by unworthy descendants like you!"
Although he was very afraid of Cui Shao in his heart, Cui Zibo also felt rebellious after being scolded by Cui Shao. Kneeling on the ground, he raised his head and said the same:
"Father, what you are saying is that without the governor of the family, you will not let me be the governor! So you asked me to resign from this position, and I resigned honestly. You asked me to stay at home and study, and I want to stay at home and study. ·········”
"It's been like this since I was a kid. You tell me what you want. I will do whatever you ask me to do. But have you ever thought about what I want?"
"I just can't understand why you would rather marry Miaoyi to that shitty Ye Mingsheng than marry her to me. How can I, Cui Zibo, be worse than that arrogant and domineering warrior Ye Mingsheng?"
Hearing that Cui Zibo dared to talk back and compare himself with Ye Mingsheng, Cui Shao was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He angrily criticized:
"You evildoer, your heart is as high as the sky, and your life is as thin as paper!"
"Ye Mingsheng had such bad luck? Do you know what he went through? Do you know how many people were plotting against him behind the scenes? How many people wanted him dead?"
"He is two years younger than you, and now he is Marshal Ye, who has tens of thousands of troops and is sitting on one side! In Fengzhou, he turned his hands for clouds and rain, defeated the Khitans and returned, and brought Shen Jianzhong back. , Chen Dechang played around and played around."
"The most important thing is that he came from a poor family, and all his achievements were achieved by himself in the military, fighting with his life with every knife and gun!"
"You are a sinner who has been influenced by your ancestors. You can't even do a small job as a governor in the Governor's Mansion. You are being fooled in front of others. How dare you compare yourself to Ye Mingsheng?"
"If you were half as capable as Ye Mingsheng, I would try my best to confiscate my family and exterminate my clan. I would also like to compete in Liaoyang!"
"You keep talking about how much you like An Miaoyi, why don't you ask An Miaoyi if she likes you?
"For an incompetent person like you who is willing to give up his career and accept mediocrity for the sake of a woman, can An Miaoyi like you?"
"Based on your ability, can you control An Miaoyi's ambition?"
