"Master Murong, you are so humble..."
Chen Jingyu looked at Murong Lun and said meaningfully:
"No one in the court knows about the relationship between Mr. Murong and Governor Lu. Although the two of you are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers. Lu Jianchao was already in prison during the household silver case. , he was about to cut off the three Yi tribes in half!
"If Lord Murong hadn't actively worked for him, and the connection between the activities had finally reversed his verdict, then Lu Jianchao would not only have been dead, but even the three tribes would have to follow him to plant rice. Where would there still be the Governor of Jiangnan Lu who is so famous today?
"Isn't it an exaggeration to say that this kind of kindness is a rebirth of kindness? And everyone in the court doesn't know that Governor Lu is the most affectionate person. I believe that as long as Lord Murong opens his mouth on this matter, he will definitely be able to capture it now! "
Listening to what Chen Jingyu said, the smile on Murong Lun's face gradually faded, and after a moment he said to Chen Jingyu:
"Master Chen, do you still remember what I told you that day in Chengdu?"
"Keep a line in everything you do so that we can meet you in the future!"
After speaking, Murong Lun took out an unsealed letter and a pamphlet from the desk drawer and delivered them to Chen Jingyu.
Seeing this, Chen Jingyu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the unsealed letter, took out the letter paper inside and read it carefully. After scanning the content above, her heart suddenly sank, and she secretly sighed in her heart that Murong Lun deserved to have such a gift. The nickname "Ghost Conspiracy" has actually prepared everything long ago...
Putting down the letter written by Murong Lun to Lu Jianchao, Chen Jingyu first looked at the booklet and then at Murong Lun. Although he didn't know what was in the booklet yet, his intuition told him that there might not be anything in it. What a good thing!
Seeing Chen Jingyu's hesitation, Murong Lun gave him a meaningful smile. Seeing this, Chen Jingyu finally made up his mind to pick up the brochure and read it.
The booklet had about seven or eight pages, but after only seeing two pages, Chen Jingyu's expression suddenly became very exciting, and she immediately put down the booklet in her hand and looked at Murong Lun with a gloomy look.
Seeing this, Murong Lun smiled slightly and said leisurely:
"Mr. Chen, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I can understand you! But there is an old saying, if you want others not to know, do nothing but yourself!"
Facing Murong Lun's warning, Chen Jingyu did not appreciate it at all, but continued to say gloomily:
"Murong Lun, you should understand that the Chief Assistant doesn't really trust you. Do you think you and Murong Yuliang's little tricks can be hidden from everyone?"
Seeing Chen Jingyu's ugly face, Murong Lun said with a calm smile:
"Mr. Chen is joking. I am very self-aware. My little trick can't reach any level of elegance, let alone hide it from the Chief Assistant. It's just to stop people like you, Mr. Chen, from talking about it. !”
Chen Jingyu's face became extremely gloomy when she heard this. Upon seeing this, Murong Lun picked up the tea cup and took another sip and said calmly:
"Master Chen might as well see him making a decision at the end!"
Chen Jingyu hesitated after hearing this but continued reading. After a while, he found the answer at the end of the booklet, and his eyes became surprised... ····
After some hesitation, he raised his head and looked at Murong Lun and said:
"Master Murong, what do you mean?"
Murong Lun smiled and replied:
"I am very willing to make you a friend, Mr. Chen, and I also want to ask Mr. Chen to do me a small favor!"
"What's the deal?"
Chen Jingyu continued to ask:
Facing Chen Jingyu's gaze, Murong Lun said a name calmly.
"Yue Heng!"
Hearing this name, Chen Jingyu seemed to understand something. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"With Master Murong's methods and the energy of the Murong family, it is not easy to kill him?"
Facing Chen Jingyu's rhetorical question, Murong Lun smiled calmly and said:
"Mr. Chen, didn't you just say that? Mr. Chief Assistant doesn't trust me very much, so I still have a lot of constraints on doing it myself. So I want to trouble Mr. Chen to solve this matter for me. I don't know if Chen Sir, what do you think?"
Chen Jingyu did not answer immediately after hearing this, but thought quickly in her mind. Although the reasons given by Murong Lun were logical, didn't she have to do this? Is Murong Lun, the evil conspirator, setting a trap for himself?
But if Murong Lun doesn't agree to this matter, things will be very troublesome based on what's in the pamphlet! '
After thinking about a cup of tea, Chen Jingyu finally made a decision in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said to Murong Lun:
"I did this!"
After hearing Chen Jingyu's answer, Murong Lun smiled and nodded and said:
"Then thank you Mr. Chen for your help..."
Chen Jingyu's expression was a little complicated when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something in the next second, and then said to Murong Lun:
"Mr. Murong, although you were able to plot against me, Chen Jingyu, you completely miscalculated in that matter. She has been killed by the Fengwu Army!"
After saying this, Chen Jingyu didn't wait for Murong Lun to reply, and turned around and left without any hesitation.
Although Chen Jingyu did not mention her by name, Murong Lun knew what she was referring to as soon as she said this, and the whole person immediately fell into silence.
Her death was not unexpected to Murong Lun. After all, the Fengwu Army had developed to this extent, and they were not just freeloaders. From the moment she carried out this mission, she was already a dead person in Murong Lun's eyes. Murong Lun really cared. The most important thing is the word "miscalculation" in Chen Jingyu's mouth.
This time, he had been planning carefully for several months, and felt that everything was foolproof, and he could make way for Anjia, a poor family, to give up his position.
Although he still doesn’t know what happened, if what Chen Jingyu said is true, he seems to have underestimated Ye Mingsheng!
Thinking of this, Murong Lun couldn't help but have a headache. If it was just a poor settlement like Anjia, he wouldn't need to be so cautious. He only needed to use a little trick to make them unable to survive or die. But once the matter came into contact with Ye Mingsheng, things would change. It was very troublesome. After all, Ye Mingsheng was a powerful man, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Even he, Murong Lun, could only probe bit by bit, exploring Ye Mingsheng's bottom line and the chips in his hand...

Although it was already past March 9th, it was still snowing like feathers in Yijing City at this time, and the north wind was sweeping everything!
On this cold day, the Chenji Restaurant on Mingxuan Street in Yijing City is still full of diners.
Looking at the mutton floating in the copper pot, Zhang Xiu's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly picked up the mutton with chopsticks and then put it into the fragrant sauce until every part of the mutton was coated with the sauce. Zhang Xiu just put it in his mouth and ate it with an expression of enjoyment on his face!
He made it. It’s so damn good to eat hot pot on a snowy day!
Their Marshal Ye is not only a great fighter, he also has a real knowledge of eating. He is worthy of being described by the storyteller as someone who can be compared with Emperor Qin and Han Wu!
It is not a secret to eat hot pot in the Governor's Mansion. Many high-ranking families in the Fengwu Army have followed suit. However, because it involves Ye Mingsheng, the major restaurants in Yi Jing are also a little worried, fearing that they will be disliked by Ye Mingsheng and cause unreasonable disasters. , so the hot pot product has not been launched for a long time.
Until a month ago, this Chenji Restaurant opened on Mingxuan Street. The main product was hot pot. Once it was launched, the business was very booming. From the powerful and senior officials to the peddlers, they all like to eat hot pot in winter. Huge hot pot!
In addition to locals from Yijing, people from other places in Hebei and Henan also came here to try this hot pot. For a time, the newly opened Chenji Restaurant could be said to be bustling with people and making money every day. , the business is very prosperous. After everyone eats it once, they want to eat it a second time...
Seeing that the business of Chen Kee Restaurant is so booming, all major restaurants have followed suit and launched the hot pot product. From an objective point of view, this has indeed had a certain impact on the business of Chen Kee Restaurant, diverting a lot of money away. At that time, Chenji Restaurant still maintained its top position among the major restaurants by virtue of its secret pot base and sauce!
It is precisely because Chenji Restaurant is very famous that Zhang Xiu and his colleagues Li Junshan and Cao Run also wanted to see the beauty of the hot pot and taste what the hot pot tastes like, but they waited for a long time. It was only about three days later that we finally entered Chenji Restaurant.
"This hot pot is really delicious, but this Chenji Restaurant is really terrible. It doesn't give any face! This has offended the city defense and taxation yamen. I wonder what they will do in the future!"
Zhang Xiu’s colleague Li Junshan, who was also the Chief Secretary, Wailang, muttered with some dissatisfaction under the influence of wine:
Because the business of Chenji Restaurant is very prosperous, the seats are usually reserved within five or six days. Li Junshan, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Run think that they are the chief secretary's officials, not ordinary people, so I just want to ask someone to join the queue to eat at Chenji Restaurant...
However, just when the three of them thought this was a trivial matter, what the three of them did not expect was that Chenji Restaurant ignored the three of them at all. Just when the three of them were very angry, they realized that it was not just them. Three of them failed to jump in line, and even the Chief Secretary had an experience where he was humiliated by Chen Kee Restaurant!
After hearing the news, the three people were a little angry and didn't want to come to Chenji Restaurant, but they couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food. In the end, they waited in line for five days before entering the restaurant.
After hearing what Li Junshan said, Cao Run admonished:
"Brother Li, you drank too much, be careful what you say!"
Seeing Cao Run's cautious look, Li Junshan also said curiously:
"Brother Cao, you are so cautious. Is it possible that Chenji Restaurant is really famous? I know that Chen Qingshu, the owner of Chenji Restaurant, has some relationship with the Feng family. In the past, the Feng family brand was relatively easy to use, but Now that Ji Yu is our Marshal Ye, the Feng family is like a mud Buddha crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself!"
Speaking of this, Li Junshan seemed to have thought of something. He patted Zhang Xiu who was eating meat and said:
"Brother Zhang, you work at the tax office. You must be the best informed! Do you have any news to share with me, brother?"
Upon hearing Li Junshan's inquiry, Zhang Xiu hesitated, took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"Brother, I don't know anything else, but I can be sure that there must be someone behind this Chenji Restaurant..."
As soon as these words came out, Li Junshan immediately became interested, while Cao Run smiled and said nothing, and Zhang Xiu continued without saying anything:
"The Chen Kee Restaurant is so prosperous, so naturally it has taken away the jobs of its peers. Those big restaurants have been under strict supervision by the Chief Secretary, and after cleaning them up, although they don't dare to be as presumptuous as before, it is not easy to deal with. I heard people say that they originally planned to use tricks on Chenji Restaurant, but the matter ended up being dropped!"
Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, Cao Run's expression became more meaningful, with the words "Come and ask me" written on his face!
Li Junshan didn't let him wait any longer. After pouring him a glass of white wine, he continued to ask:
"Brother Cao, if you know who the backer of Chenji Restaurant is, stop hiding it!"
In response to Li Junshan's inquiry, Cao Run pretended to be reserved for a while, and then said very mysteriously:
"In today's Yi Jing, who else do you think has such great energy?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang and Li also reacted. Zhang Xiu pointed to the sky, and Cao Run nodded seriously.
Seeing this, the three of them were silent for a while. Li Junshan was the first to break the silence. He touched a wine glass with Zhang Xiu and asked:
"This Chenji Restaurant is so prosperous that even a few of them have to pay several thousand taels of silver in a month. According to the rules of your tax department, you have to pay a lot of money, right?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said:
"Of course it's for sure. Our Marshal Ye is really meticulous about taxes, and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. Just last month, there was a man named Ye Junsheng in the Ye family. This person and Marshal Ye are not in the fifth server. Brother! Just tell me, is this relationship close? Is it hard?"
"Several big shops and companies valued this relationship and gave Ye Junsheng shares in order to use it to evade taxes. Brother Li, Brother Cao, what happened to this matter in the end... ·····················”
