Yi Jing, Chen Kee Tea House
A paper full of nonsense and a handful of bitter tears!
It is said that the author is crazy, who can understand the meaning?
Now that it's clear, let's see what story is on the stone. According to the writing on the stone: At that time, the land sank to the southeast. There was a place in this southeast corner called Gusu and a city called Changmen. It was the first or second-class rich and romantic place in the world of mortals... ···············
Ye Mingsheng, who rarely paid a private visit incognito, listened to the storyteller on the stage, and from time to time he would bring a piece of tea to his mouth. It was a rare moment of comfort in his busy work life. Just when Ye Mingsheng got excited, he heard A voice of surprise.
"Brother Ye, you are finally here again!"
Ye Mingsheng also opened his eyes when he heard this. What caught his eye was Chen Xiangling's pretty face. Ye Mingsheng nodded with a smile and said:
"There are some important things during this period, but I haven't found the time yet!"
As Ye Mingsheng spoke, a guard beside him also stood up. Chen Xiangling did not have any scruples and went directly to Ye Mingsheng's side, and then asked curiously:
"Did the Marshal send you, Brother Ye, on some important mission? I heard them say that Brother Ye, you are the Marshal's confidant?"
Hearing Chen Xiangling ask this, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered that he did not reveal his true identity to Chen Xiangling, but told the little girl that his name was Ye Dong. The Chen family had some connections and knew Ye Dong’s identity is not difficult. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"I can't say that I am a close friend. I just stayed with the commander for a few more years and gained a little reputation..."
"The main reason why I didn't come during this period of time is that I was busy with trivial matters during this period and couldn't spare the time!"
After a brief explanation, Ye Mingsheng also smiled and asked:
"Xiang Ling, how are you doing lately?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Chen Xiangling said excitedly:
"Our family and Dadongsheng Company jointly opened a Chenji Restaurant to sell hot pot. Dad didn't agree with it at first, but when the restaurant business started, he was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear. Now the restaurant can sell several hotpots every month. Thousand taels of silver!"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. He had originally arranged for Dadongsheng Company to help them open Chenji Restaurant, but he just thought that the hotpot made by Chen Xiangling was delicious and the girl was nice, so he helped her fulfill her wish. .
But what Ye Mingsheng didn't expect was that the business of Chenji Restaurant was very booming after it opened, and because Dadongsheng Company owned 50% of the shares, the annual dividends amounted to tens of thousands of taels.
Including the 17% business tax collected by the Chief Secretary, this Chenji Restaurant has contributed fifteen thousand taels of silver to Fengwu Army in the past year, becoming a tax payer under Fengwu Army. Big business, naturally some people are jealous of such a hot business, but because of the shares of Dadongsheng Company, no one is looking for death.
As she spoke, Chen Xiangling seemed to remember something, and said in a low mood:
"Everything was fine originally, but my father recently wanted to arrange a marriage for me, but I don't want to get married yet... ····”
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look up and down. Although the slim and graceful girl in front of him was only fifteen years old, in this era when the average person could not live more than a year, she was no longer a child. She was a girl from an ordinary family. At this time, they are all married, and some of them who are more anxious may already be the mother of their children.
After telling Ye Mingsheng this, Chen Xiangling seemed to feel that she had made a mistake, and immediately changed the subject and said:
"Brother Ye, I remember that you liked listening to Water Margin and Three Kingdoms before. How about I ask Mr. Zhang to change it?"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have listened to Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms too much, and the Red Mansion has a different flavor! And this storyteller said that the Red Mansion is quite good, and it has that flavor!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's praise, Chen Xiangling also laughed out with two dimples, and said proudly:
"Our Chenji Teahouse is the best teahouse in Yijing, so naturally we have to hire the best storyteller. This Mr. Zhang is someone my father spent a lot of money to hire from Yujing. Compared with Mr. Zhang from the Red Mansion, he is actually the best storyteller." Better at talking about the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng also became somewhat interested. The storyteller in Yi Jing City said that the level of Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms was good, but only when it came to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Ye Mingsheng felt that he was almost uninterested. Now there is a master of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If you have the chance, you might as well listen to it yourself...
Chen Xiangling, a little girl, was also very smart and seemed to see the interest in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, so she continued:
"Mr. Zhang usually talks about the Red Mansions in the morning and the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the afternoon. But Brother Ye, if you are interested, you can come and listen anytime!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard the words. Just when he was about to say something, he saw a guard coming to his ear and saying something. After hearing these words, Ye Mingsheng's eyes changed slightly, and then he stood up and lectured to Chen Xiangling;
"I originally wanted to stay a little longer, but I still have some important things to deal with at home, so Xiangling, I'm leaving!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Chen Xiangling couldn't help but feel a little reluctance in her eyes, but she still nodded obediently and said:
"Brother Ye, I know your affairs are all big things! Go and deal with them quickly! But you must remember to come often, I have always reserved this position for you!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly when he heard this and said:
"good!"
After speaking, Ye Mingsheng glanced at Chen Xiangling again, then turned and left, leaving Ye Cheng to pay the bill.
Half an hour later, Ye Mingsheng returned to his study. Huo San, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up to greet him. Ye Mingsheng waved his hand to let him get up from the ground, but did not directly ask:
"Have you investigated everything clearly?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Huo San nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, all of this has come to light..."
"According to the investigation by our Coordination Office, the Supervision Department is behind all this. They want to use this matter to cause internal strife in our army!"
"As for the stolen money in Ye Zhanpeng's hands, we have found 170,000 taels of silver, which is being transported back to Yijing from Liaoyang. Originally, Ye Zhanpeng had more stolen money, but he used some of the silver to mine gold mines, so he only There are only 170,000 taels left!”
"We also found this gold mine in Denong County, Bosu Prefecture. The annual output of the gold mine is about one hundred kilograms of gold!"
Hearing this news, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Seeing Ye Mingsheng nod, Huo San was relieved. However, just when he was about to continue saying something, Ye Mingsheng's plain voice emerged in his mind. ear.
"Huo San, your investigation is pretty good, but can you tell me what role Cui Shao played in this?"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng ask this, Huo San felt his head buzzing. After hesitating for a moment, he could only say cautiously:
"Sir, our Coordination Office has found no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Master Cui!"
Hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head:
"My uncle is always cautious in doing things. It's normal that you can't find any evidence, but don't tell me that you, the director of the Coordination Office, don't have some inferences!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo San understood that this matter could no longer be hidden and he could only speak honestly:
"Sir, I'm guessing that Mr. Cui has been aware of the Inspection Department's conspiracy for a long time..."
After saying this, Huo San did not continue, but bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Sir, you have always taught us to tell facts and present evidence. We cannot talk nonsense without factual evidence, and this matter is of great importance. I really don't dare to talk nonsense without finding evidence!"
Ye Mingsheng said calmly after hearing this:
"I know! I don't blame you!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, Huo San felt a little at ease, but the next second he heard Ye Mingsheng say:
"Although you have made up for it this time, Huo San, you are still responsible for accepting Ye Zhanpeng's money, so I demoted you one level and made you and Wang Xuecheng the deputy director of the Coordination Office. Do you have any complaints? "
Although he knew that Ye Mingsheng would definitely punish him, Huo San still felt a little regretful when he heard that Ye Mingsheng had demoted him by one level. But as the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, so now facing Ye Mingsheng's eyes, he The only thing that can be done is to kneel down and say respectfully:
"Thank you for your kindness and giving me a chance to change my ways. I have no complaints at all in my humble position!"
Ye Mingsheng raised his forehead slightly and warned:
"This time I will give you a chance because of your hard work. If there is another time, don't blame me for not cherishing our old relationship!"
Huo San immediately solemnly promised:
"I understand that if it happens again, I will commit suicide to repay your kindness..."
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then waved his hand to indicate that Huo San could leave. After Huo San bowed and left, Ye Mingsheng found a piece of prepared order from the documents on the desk.
Although there were not many words in this order, Ye Mingsheng knew that if this order continued, it would cause an earthquake in the power center within the Fengwu Army.
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng finally made up his mind and called Ye Cheng in and handed him the order.
Looking at this order, Ye Cheng was also a little surprised, and carefully confirmed to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, do you really want to do this?"
Hearing Ye Cheng's rhetorical question, Ye Mingsheng didn't speak. He just glanced at Ye Cheng. Feeling Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Ye Cheng's heart suddenly tightened. Then he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and bowed out of the room with the order. Door.
With Ye Cheng leaving, the study became quiet again. Ye Mingsheng leaned on the back of his chair and closed his eyes to rest. He knew that Cui Shao had the talent to govern the country and assist in government affairs, so he trusted him and gave him almost one person's worth and ten thousand people's worth. Cui Shao also repaid his trust with his political achievements, but now Ye Mingsheng is full of disappointment in his cheap uncle!

Ye Mansion, in the small courtyard of Murong Qingwu
Murong Qingwu, who was undergoing confinement, was lying on the bed, looking lovingly at her infant baby. However, at this warm moment, her stand-in maid Xiao Huan came over and saw Xiao Huan nervous. It seemed that Murong Qingwu knew that something big was going on, and immediately turned away the maidservant beside him.
After these maids and wives left, Xiaohuan whispered in Murong Qingwu's ear:
"Madam, news came from the Attendant's Department. An hour ago, your Excellency just issued the latest order to remove Zhang Dehui from the post of director of the First Manufacturing Bureau and sentenced him to life imprisonment with a five-year suspended sentence. Ye Hongsheng was removed from the post of general manager of Dadongsheng Company and sentenced to him. Exiled to Posa Mansion and imprisoned for life!”
Although he expected it to be a big event, when these words came out of Xiaohuan's mouth, Murong Qingwu also showed a look of shock.
After hesitating for a moment, Murong Qingwu asked worriedly:
"Xiao Huan, are you sure this news is true?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaohuan immediately nodded seriously and said:
"Madam, after I got the news from the Attendant, I was also shocked. I was also afraid that it was false news, so I found someone to check it. After making sure that the information was correct, I dared to tell you, Madam. ························”
After hearing what Xiaohuan said, Murong Qingwu naturally no longer doubted the authenticity of the news, but she was still filled with excitement about the news.
Ye Hongsheng and Zhang Dehui, one is the God of Wealth of the Fengwu Army, and the other is the chief designer of weapons development of the Fengwu Army. They are both his favorite generals, but they were taken down directly, which shows that he has no regard for them. How angry things are.
These two people are the core backbone of the Fengwu Army who can participate in the Zhongyong Hall meeting. They were taken down directly. There is no doubt that it can be expected that they will cause quite a stir in the Fengwu Army. Next, they will focus on these two key positions. , there will definitely be fierce competition within the Fengwu Army
However, given his character of making plans before taking action, such a big move should not be a rash move. He must have been prepared in advance. The person who will replace Ye Hongsheng and Zhang Dehui will most likely have an idea in advance.
But is such a big move really just because of the corruption of Ye Hongsheng and Zhang Dehui?
It is said that these two people donated almost all their family wealth. Although he has always been merciless towards corruption, he is not so cruel to his two confidants!
Could it be that the drunkard is not interested in drinking, so he used these two people to warn someone?························
