Chapter 118: Doom Strikes
Anyway, it doesn't matter if the gangster nature doesn't change, or the fierceness is untamable, in the end, Geng Zhongming feels that he can't go against Ye Fu. Obedience is the only thing he can choose now.
Ye Fu nodded, basically agreeing with this answer, and then asked: "Then do you think that if you don't be the captain of this team that doesn't close at night, then who should I hand over this team to?" Hey, what do you think of Geng Zhongyu? ”
"Never!" Geng Zhongming hurriedly stopped, and even forgot the etiquette, blurted out, only to realize his gaffe, he said, "My lord, the power of this captain is rewarded by you to the lowly position, you can replace it with whoever you want, and the lowly position will never dare to say anything." And don't accept it at night, and obey you, as long as it is the person you send, it will never be a problem to be in charge. It's just, my lord, the humble brother who is not a weapon is useless! That kid is a lowly man who has been seen since he was a child, and he knows best what kind of heart he is. It's better to have a lowly position to supervise and overwhelm him, if not, let him mess around, something big will happen! ”
"People say that virtuous people don't avoid relatives, it's good for you to belittle your own brother to nothing." Ye Fu just said it casually, and then revealed the matter, and said to Geng Zhongming: "I really have a task to give you!" You know, the Tartars are not as good as the Ming in terms of manpower and material resources, but they have been able to defeat them repeatedly. And I am a big Ming, with a lot of land and resources, but I have repeatedly failed. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the Tartars are good at taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the enemy and breaking them inside the fortress. And the way to deal with the enemy, he has no me, he has my strength, and it is the best policy. What I lack now is such a team that can advance and retreat. I have watched you for a long time, and I can trust you in both ability and character. You also know that you must be the best choice for the leader of this team. ”
"Adults need to be humble~~" Geng Zhongming hesitated, not knowing how to phrase it.
Ye Fu said for him: "In addition to lookout and reporting, there is also the function of infiltrating. What I'm asking you to dig up this time is this part of the infiltrated function. I will allow you to use all the methods you can think of to sabotage the Tartars' dealings with the unscrupulous merchants in the interior, robbing the rich and helping the poor in the name of bandits, and encouraging the people who are oppressed by the Tartars to rise up and resist. If you think about it, whether it succeeds or not, I don't blame you. If you need any help, you can also come to me directly. ”
Geng Zhongming listened to Ye Fu's words, and his face was unprecedentedly entangled. Great power is in front of him, and it is at his fingertips. But the road ahead is also conceivably difficult.
There is really a long way to go to build a qualified intelligence department of its own. Ye Fu also knew that this matter was in a hurry. But time passed slowly, and the time for peaceful development was getting closer and closer, and he had to be impatient.
Geng Zhongming is a very famous person in history.
At the beginning, Ye Fu spared his life because of this name in the history books.
However, the events recorded in the history books are too far from the era in which Ye Fu lived, and they may not be true and comprehensive after being tampered with by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And, for whatever reason, this man has a reputation as a traitor in history. Therefore, Ye Fu had to be cautious about this person.
After this period of testing, he can finally be sure that this person can indeed be of great use. That's why there is such a show.
It's just that he still needs to consider Ye Fu's arrangement.
This is exactly what Ye Fu is relieved of!
If he agreed too quickly, it was most likely a hasty agreement to show his loyalty. It does not represent his sincerity, and it will also make Ye Fu feel uneasy.
Now it is different, after careful consideration, Ye Fu believes that he will definitely be able to give himself a satisfactory answer.
~~
Soon after Geng Zhongming left, Ye Fu waited for Geng Rongxiang.
In a short period of time, the whole incident has been clearly investigated by him.
Things are really just as Tang Wang said, this old man named Cui Yi really has a son-in-law who loves money and has a black heart. But what was expected to be bad was that his son-in-law was actually a little wealthy!
Ye Fu listened to it and pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a satisfactory idea. Turning his head, he happened to see Geng Rongxiang looking up at him cautiously, so he casually asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”
Ye Fu originally didn't think that Geng Rongxiang could have any suggestions, who knows? As if he had thought about it, he immediately said to Ye Fu: "I am willing to share my worries for adults!" ”
"Oh? So, do you have a solution? Ye Fu looked at him in surprise, and was even more surprised when he saw him nodding respectfully. With the attitude of giving it a try, he said to Geng Zhongming: "Since you have an idea, then you can talk about it!" ”
Geng Rongxiang said: "When I was still in the school, I learned that although the adults now have the path of Xu Pinggong, they also have the full support of Xiong Jingluo. However, in recent years, the cooperation with Portugal has become closer, and several Western factories have been built, and a batch of guns have been purchased, plus the cost of hiring a Western advisory group, and the cost of needing to be consumed in our dangerous mountain army. I guess I will be stretched thin and unable to make ends meet, right? ”
Ye Fu looked at him and sneered, "You dare to spy on me? ”
Geng Rongxiang hurriedly bowed down and smiled at Ye Fu: "I don't dare to be humble, but I know how difficult it is for adults to run this business." The humble position is promoted by the adult, and even this life is rewarded by the adult. As a matter of course, we should serve adults. Therefore, when he learned that Cui Yi's son-in-law was wealthy, he thought of a way. ”
"What do you mean?" Ye Fu raised his eyebrows and asked him.
Geng Rongxiang replied: "I don't dare to have any meaning of my own, and the so-called meaning of lowly duty is just adhering to the will of adults." Since you need money, you have to find ways to get it for you. So, that's what I think~~"
His voice became quieter, and only two people could hear the sparse words.
Ye Fu's face changed silently, but in the end, he smiled lightly, "That's it, since you say so, they deserve it, then this time it's up to you." Go ahead, it's done, and I won't treat you badly! ”

Only in the fort, in a small solid house.
In fact, in this era, hunger is everywhere, and there are countless displaced people. can be called the word 'solid' in Liaodong, why is it just a little rich? Geng Rongxiang didn't cover them up, but it was enough for Ye Fu to reasonably imagine where the family's money came from based on this incident.
At this time, the husband and wife living at home did not know that their doom was about to come.
