Cui Mingjiu was shocked when he heard it, Ren Zhen's idea was obviously to include the imperial court and treat His Majesty as a pawn that could be used.

Mr. Xiao's courage is inevitably too great.

"Your Majesty's holy judgment is arbitrary, and her ears and eyes are clear, and it is not easy to deceive her eyes and induce her to do something to the favored Ye family. Teacher, are you sure this will work? ”

Ren Zhen saw his doubts and said lightly: "Then do you know why Your Majesty has always favored the Ye family?" How did you get the title of Duke of Xianguo back then? ”

Cui Mingjiu's face was dazed.

Ren Zhen's eyes flickered, rubbing his slightly white knuckles, and his expression gradually darkened.

Ye Wuji had done some disgraceful things for her, which could be regarded as either credit or a handle in his hand. If the old matter is brought up again and there is a suspicion of being leaked out, do you think she will spare the Ye family? ”

Cui Mingjiu's scalp tingled when he heard this. Although he didn't know what Ren Zhen was referring to, he had a strong premonition that the secret that could make the empress jealous must be one of the biggest secrets of this era.

After being silent for a long time, he asked seriously: "Teacher, for the sake of this hegemony, is it worth it for you to take the risk of touching Your Majesty's scales?" ”

The killing intent in Ren Zhen's eyes flashed slightly, and then a smile appeared, "I'm just temporary, thinking of this, I may not really do this." I have enough means to help you eradicate the Ye family. ”

He was planning to deal with the Ye family, of course, not only to help Cui Mingjiu, but to take revenge.

Xianguo's surname is Ye, and his mother's surname is Ye.

The mother was executed by the Northern Tang Dynasty court a long time ago, but the mother's family is as stable as Mount Tai, rising step by step, and the relationship is intricate, how can it be said in three words.

What a dedication to the country.

Cui Mingjiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Since the teacher is confident, I will listen to your orders." What do we do next? ”

In the final analysis, he had nothing to do, and he relied on Ren Zhen's abundant assets, so he had to obey his words.

Ren Zhen said: "Although you and I are masters and apprentices, the accounts must be settled first. I can lend you 20 million, and after the matter is completed, you don't have to give me interest, but I want to invest 30% of all the Cui family's businesses in the capital. ”

Cui Mingjiu nodded briskly.

Joining hands to do business, next to the big tree of Mr. Xiao, the Cui family can't ask for it, if Cui Mao is present, he will only agree more simply.

Ren Zhen continued: "The top priority at the moment is not to use my money to collect grain, but to dig out the spies within the Cui family first. There are so many undercover agents hidden under his nose, Cui even knows nothing, and it is strange that the business does not lose money. ”

Cui Mingjiu was shocked, "How do you know that there is an undercover agent?" ”

Ren Zhen replied: "Your senior brother has been the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, and they know the current situation of your family's money and food well, and they know it clearly, which means that there must be internal ghosts in your family who are secretly watching." They must be found out as soon as possible! ”

Cui Mingjiu suddenly got up and said in a cold voice: "I'll go back to the house and check everyone in the house!" ”

"No," Ren Zhen stopped him, "If you do this, not only will you not be able to detect the traitor, but you will also startle the snake and make them alert." In the future, you need to use your brains more and don't be rash. ”

Cui Mingjiu had no choice but to sit down and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Ren Zhen said quietly: "When you leave, I will send someone to carry the silver box and deliver it to your house in a bright light." If you make a little noise, it's better to expose the silver ingot in public, and deliberately let the spies see it. ”

"This ......" Cui Mingjiu hesitated: "In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly telling the Ye family that the Cui family has resolved the crisis at hand and let them be prepared?" This is what it means to scare the snake! ”

Ren Zhen smiled slightly, and said in his heart, young man, you are still too young.

"For the sake of prudence, no one in your family can use it anymore. The subordinates I sent to deliver the silver will be ambushed outside the mansion and closely monitor the entry and exit of the Cui family. ”

Cui Mingjiu nodded, he thought of this, but he still couldn't understand why he wanted to leak the important information that the Cui family had turned over.

Ren Zhen saw his confusion and reminded: "After they send the letter back, you must not debunk them." These people are still very useful, and they will become a vent for us to spread false news in the future. ”

When Cui Mingjiu heard this, he said ashamedly: "It's still a clever teacher." If you hadn't reminded me, according to my temperament, I would definitely light the sky lantern with those white-eyed wolves who eat inside and out! ”

Ren Zhen was very impressed with his sycophants, and nodded with satisfaction, "As I expected, the Ye family will incite Cui Geng's creditors to come to collect debts, first, to test your hypocrisy, and second, to draw your salary from the bottom of the kettle and take away your silver." ”

Cui Geng died violently on the street, those creditors are already six gods and no owners, once they hear the information revealed by the Ye family, they will definitely gather people to collect debts, which is also a logical thing.

Cui Mingjiu understood, and said with a sneer: "There is a debtor who is wronged, who owes the debt, who they are looking for!" I'm not responsible for wiping the fourth uncle's ass! ”

"No," Ren Zhen rejected his idea again, "This will only make the Ye family think that you are bluffing, but you have not actually borrowed a large amount of cash." Your senior brother has investigated, and Cui Geng's gambling debts are no more than four million, and it is not worth it to ruin his reputation for this money. ”

At this time, Cui Mingjiu couldn't hold back any longer, and asked directly: "Teacher, why do you have to let the Ye family know that the Cui family has relieved this breath?" Wouldn't it be better to take him by surprise and kill him by surprise? ”

Ren Zhen sighed, "If you want to compete for hegemony and continue to stock up on grain at a high price, naturally you don't have to take such painstaking measures." It's a pity, who makes you worry about the country and the people, and don't want to see a market bully......"

Cui Mingjiu lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "It's embarrassing for the teacher." ”

Ren Zhen said: "I'm not embarrassed, I don't need to do anything except borrow your silver." However, you have to ask your third senior brother for help, he is your savior. ”

Cui Mingjiu was stunned, "Third Senior Brother? ”

Ren Zhen replied: "Well, when you left just now, I had already taken Xiahou Ba as an apprentice. You're a step behind him, of course ......"

"What?!"

Without waiting for Ren Zhen to finish speaking, Cui Mingjiu jumped up directly from the chair, furious, and trembling with anger, "Is this fucking fate!" Actually let that bastard get a head start again! ”

At the beginning of Yunyao Sect, because he slept halfway, he was a step late and let Xiahou Ba be his senior brother. Creation makes people, and I can't imagine that when he apprentices again, he will be in such a miserable situation.

"It seems to be fate, and I can't be a junior......"

He was a little indignant, why good people are not rewarded, but spineless people can take advantage.

Ren Zhen ignored his grief and reminded again: "Don't rush to find him first, wait for Coach Pingnan to confirm it, and then you will come to visit." ”

Cui Mingjiu put away his small emotions and looked at Ren Zhen deeply, "Are you saying that the commander of the Pingnan army this time will be the general Xiahou Chun?" ”

Ren Zhen nodded.

Cui Mingjiu said in surprise: "Do you know this? ”

The court debated fiercely for more than half a month, arguing fiercely, and still unable to determine the head coach. After the defeat of the soldiers, they could only be selected from within Confucianism, and there were not many satisfactory candidates, and it involved the internal strife of the two holy factions, and everyone was indifferent.

It is an exaggeration that the major gambling houses in Beijing even offer odds for everyone to bet on. Due to the disagreement of Confucianism, so far, Xiahou Chun, who has no clear position, has become the most popular candidate.

Ren really knows this. But he wasn't so sure because of the house odds.

"Last night, I entered the palace to face the saint, and His Majesty was having a headache about this matter. Since I was neutral and impartial, she threw me the problem and wanted to hear my opinion. I had a good impression of Xiahou Chun, so I casually recommended him. ”

In fact, he had a good impression, what he thought in his heart was that maybe he could influence Xiahou Chun through Xiahou Ba, and then influence the situation on the southern battlefield.

Cui Mingjiu's expression froze, and he immediately got up suddenly and hurriedly said goodbye to Ren Zhen.

He had already decided that he was going to the gambling house to place his bets as soon as possible.
