The teahouse, which was originally extremely lively, became empty in an instant, just like the mood of Zheng Shichang, who was standing aside and sweating at the moment, the whole person had a feeling of not knowing what to do.

Father actually whispered so much to this man who looked a lot younger than him, this was completely unimaginable in his impression, he had seen a lot of officials who came to the teahouse on weekdays, which one didn't nod his head and be respectful when he saw his father?

Like today, his father can only stand there and talk to others, which is completely beyond Zheng Shichang's imagination.

Xie Daoqing's big watery eyes were gurgling around everyone, Zheng Shichang's cramped, panicked and nervous appearance was naturally in her full view, and similarly, she really saw for the first time that after an official did the ultimate, it brought huge pressure to others.

At that time in Yipinlou, although Ye Qing scared Deng Youlong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, trembled his legs just by his name, but that time in Xie Daoqing's heart, Ye Qing left her with the image of a loving father and a good person holding a baby, which is not at all the same as the scene in the teahouse today.

What's more, whether it is her grandfather or father, because Zheng Shichang likes her, she has also dealt with Zheng Qingzhi many times about marriage, so in her impression, Zheng Qingzhi's household secretary is much older than her grandfather and Jiaxing's father, who was not yet the pacification envoy of Lin'an at that time, and her father who was sentenced to Jiaxing, which was enough to shock and look up.

But when they saw Ye Qing today, they couldn't even get a seat, especially Zheng Qingzhi, who was still standing next to Ye Qing at the moment, and didn't even dare to sit down.

Of course, Xie Daoqing obviously didn't know that Zheng Qingzhi was jealous of Ye Qing, not because of Ye Qing's dispatch, but because of the power in Ye Qing's hands, as well as his ruthless and deep methods.

is even more afraid that his son Zheng Shichang will cause trouble because he offended Ye Qing.

He is one of the few officials above the court, who is quite clear about Ye Qing's power and means, and has been by Shi Miyuan's side for many years, when has Ye Qing bowed his head to others over the years, whether in the north or above the court? Even Emperor Gaozong, if he said something unpleasant, didn't he end up folding in Ye Qing's hands?

And his own powerless son...... Even if you add yourself, how can you be someone's opponent.

The most relaxed person present may be Xie Daoqing and Qingqiu, Xie Daoqing is light and has an attitude of watching a good show, while Qingqiu finally found Ye Qing, so no matter what, as long as he dragged Ye Qing to the apricot orchard, he could escape the catastrophe.

As for Zhu Shijie and his wife Xu, who are also sitting, I am afraid that among several people, except for Zheng's father and son, the two people who are the most worried in their hearts.

"There are rumors in the market that there is a place called Hongchu Teahouse, which can be described as a small official of my Great Song Dynasty, and what Ye saw with his own eyes today is indeed worthy of its name, among the tea guests sitting just now, there must be eight or nine officials of my Great Song Dynasty, right?" Ye Qing completely lost his scruples about Zheng Shichang at this time, although he was talking to Zheng Qingzhi, his eyes kept looking at Qingqiu.

How could Zheng Qingzhi not know the meaning of Ye Qing's words, not to himself, but to Qingqiu on the side.

"If the rumors can be true, then Zheng Shangshu would have been deposed by the imperial court eight times ago. Ye Qing, the purpose of your coming here today is something that Shi didn't expect. Answering Ye Qing's words, it was a fat figure at the top of the stairs.

Shi Miyuan was almost able to block the staircase by himself, so that no one else could pass by him, followed by two subordinates, who slowly walked down the stairs.

"The things of the world are not written without coincidence. Even if Ye said that today was a mistake, you probably won't believe it. But since I bumped into it today, I'll have to tell Yushitai anyway. Of course, the Imperial City Division was sent by Emperor Gaozong that year: the pawn of the inspector was all over the capital. Small hunger discussion, that is, arrest and treatment, in the deep text. What's more, Ye saw with his own eyes today, more than ten court officials gathered in a teahouse, who knows if it will be a rebellion? Ye Qing was still sitting there, looking at Shi Miyuan who was walking over and said.

Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly made way, and Zhu Shijie at this time was obviously unable to continue to sit, as Ye Qing raised his hand slightly, the two immediately got up and walked to Ye Qing's side to stand still, while Shi Miyuan sat down opposite Ye Qing.

His eyes first looked at Ye Qing, and then slowly moved to the side, Xie Daoqing, who was also sitting there next to Ye Qing.

"Impeachment of Shi for rebellion? Shi Mou is not arrogant enough to dare to touch this crime of rebellion, but Lord Ye is arbitrary in the north, and the court has no power to control the north, according to Shi, if the words are spoken, I believe that the people believe that it is you Ye Qing who wants to rebel, not me Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan is not very worried that Ye Qing will really be impeached in the court, but what he is worried about is that Ye Qing will use what he has seen and heard today to make waves in Lin'an, and he will inevitably be involved at that time.

"Why don't we try?" Ye Qing smiled secretly, but it gave Shi Miyuan a feeling that after returning to Lin'an, in the face of the current chaos, he was going to break the jar.

"Not trying." Shi Miyuan decisively shook his head and refused, his eyes swept over Qingqiu, Zheng Qingzhi's father and son, Zhu Shijie and his wife, and then waved his hand and said to Qingqiu: "Nobleman, Shi wants to ...... alone with Lord Ye." ”

"The slave is waiting at the door for Lord Ye." Qingqiu hurriedly said.

"Why go and wait at the door, since I took out the silver today, then the tea in this teahouse can be drunk at will, Zheng Qingzhi, why don't you hurry up and prepare the best private room for him? By the way, you two will follow, and you. Ye Qing pointed at Zhu Shijie and his wife, and then pointed at Xie Daoqing and said.

Shi Miyuan was noncommittal about Ye Qing's dispatch of Qingqiu, after all, Qingqiu had another identity, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, so today in front of the commander, he naturally had to be sent by others.

Zheng Qingzhi's father and son, Zhu Shijie and his wife, and Qingqiu left, and between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, there was also a Xie Daoqing who was reluctant to leave.

Xie Daoqing obviously didn't expect that in this short period of time today, he not only saw Ye Qing again, but also saw Zheng Qingzhi, who was a scholar, with a cautious side, but also saw another big man in the court, Shi Miyuan.

It's just that she didn't expect that Shi Miyuan would be such a fat man with a red face, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like an official, but more like a greedy and lustful businessman, an outsider and something.

And the reason why she was reluctant to leave was entirely because she was afraid that Ye Qing would run away, and then the matter of rescuing her father would be lost.

So no matter how Ye Qing glared at her, she always opened those big innocent eyes, as if she was nothing, and she was not afraid of Ye Qing at all.

Here Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing smiled silently, both figuring out how to speak next, and what chips they had in their hands, and after just going upstairs over there, in a chic private room, Zheng Qingzhi, who had settled Qingqiu, suddenly turned blue when he walked to another room.

Without waiting for Zheng Shichang, who had palpitations on his face, to speak, Zheng Qingzhi slapped Zheng Shichang's face, looking at the half of his cheeks that were instantly red and swollen, Zheng Qingzhi's face was still pale, and he said angrily in a low voice: "Bastard, how can you provoke this Ye Qing?" I don't want your life anymore, do you! ”

"Daddy......." Zheng Shichang couldn't imagine that his father was so heavy, and for a while, Venus appeared in front of him, and there was a buzzing tinnitus in his ears, and he said timidly: "Dad, child...... The child didn't know him either...... He is him, the child just went downstairs, and when he saw Qing'er's sister crying, he thought he was bullying Qing'er's sister, so he couldn't help but say a few words, and the child didn't ....... ”

"Quibble!" When Zheng Qingzhi heard that Zheng Shichang had offended Ye Qing because of Xie Daoqing, he opened his arms and was about to hit again, but looking at the very high cheeks that were already swollen in the blink of an eye, he finally put his hand down angrily: "That Xie Daoqing cried, it was nothing more than because her father was arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department...... Forget it, these are all court matters, and I can't tell you clearly. In short, you should remember later, even here, don't be too rampant. And also...... Don't worry about the ...... of the Xie family. ”

"Daddy......." Looking at Zheng Qingzhi, who was about to leave, Zheng Shichang hurriedly shouted, and then after Zheng Qingzhi turned his head, he asked timidly: "Child...... The child really likes Qing'er ....... ”

"Enough! Dad said no, no, now it's not the same as before...... The Xie family has suffered an accident now, what good is it for you and our Zheng family to marry that girl? Zheng Qingzhi wanted to speak and stopped, if he said before, he would still be willing to go to Xie Mansion to mention this family matter.

But now, Xie Qubo, the son of the Xie family, was arrested and put in prison, and then disappeared inexplicably, all kinds of signs indicate that it must be Han Yanxuan who is retaliating.

And at this time, if he still doesn't know each other and wants to marry the Xie family, I'm afraid that he will implicate himself in Han Yanxuan, even Shi Miyuan probably won't let him go.

After all, on the night after Xie Qubo was arrested and put in prison, Shi Miyuan sent the servants of the Ministry to win over, but Xie Shenfu actually refused Shi Miyuan's solicitation on the spot.

Today, the little girl appeared here with Ye Qing, so if nothing else, it must be Xie Shenfu who had already thrown himself under Ye Dang, so he rejected Shi Miyuan's wooing, from this point of view, it is even very likely that Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang were secretly taken away from the prison of the Criminal Department by Ye Qing.

Zheng Qingzhi was thinking about the possibilities of Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing appearing together, and at the tea house downstairs, Shi Miyuan was also testing Ye Qing with words, but Ye Qing neither denied nor admitted it.

The two of you, you guess, I scrutinize your words and I say a word, so that Xie Daoqing, who was reluctant to leave next to him, listened to the confusion in his mind, anyway, although she understood every sentence, she didn't know what every sentence meant.

The two of them said something that was similar to the short words of the parents, not at all as she imagined, the two ministers said the kind of conversation that was serious and important, and even had an impact on the country.

Shi Miyuan held the teacup and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, while Ye Qing leaned on the back of the chair, also leisurely, and the appearance of the two of them seemed to Xie Daoqing as if they were old friends catching up with the old days.

"In this way, I can ignore Lord Ye's affairs, and I won't touch it, no matter what kind of storm is set off in Lin'an, Shi will not get in the way, how about it?" Shi Miyuan held the teacup and finally began to open the skylight and speak brightly.

"Alone in the chaos? Master Shi doesn't look like this kind of person. For so many years, in every chaos, is there no shadow of Master Shi hiding in the dark? Sitting on the profits of the fisherman has always been what you Shi Miyuan is best at, but now in the chaos, Master Shi said that he should be alone, even if Ye Mou is bold, he can't believe your Shi Miyuan's promise. Ye Qing smiled and shook his head, what he wanted to do was to force Shi Miyuan from the dark to the light.

In this way, he can be distracted by the Hongmen banquet set up for him by the Emperor Taishang, and once Shi Miyuan is kept in the dark, it is like an invisible knife at all times, ready to stab him in the heart at any time.

Shi Miyuan's gaze shifted to Xie Daoqing on the side, and then said secretly: "Presumably, Lord Ye also knows what happened that night, Lord Ye let go of this matter, and Shi Mou promises not to ......." ”

"So why not just be thorough? You must know that in this way, you Shi Miyuan will have one less opponent above the court, and the position you have always coveted is within reach. The smile in Ye Qing's eyes gradually disappeared, and a faint murderous aura emanated from his body.

That kind of gloomy and fierce momentum made Xie Daoqing next to him feel shocked, the person is still that person, but at this moment, the uncle in her mouth is like ...... It's like a real hero.

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face also disappeared, and his expression became equally solemn, even with a deep feeling: "What do you mean?" ”

"What do you mean? Naturally, that's what you think. Or is it ...... You Shi Miyuan don't dare at all, don't have that much courage? The peaceful smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth looked like a knife at the moment, even a little sharp.

"That'...... I wonder what Lord Ye has planned? Shi Miyuan's fat body leaned forward slightly and asked.

"Ask me what it means, and I'll know?" Ye Qing looked up at the top of his head and continued: "Since people have taken the lead, this one is ...... Is it really necessary to remain indifferent? ”

"Do you think this will solve your Ye Qing's predicament? It is certainly good to lead the water to the east, but Ye Qing, don't forget, you don't know ...... Lin'an. ”

"That's why I'm looking for you, otherwise I would have demolished this broken teahouse." Ye Qing looked at the teahouse, then got up and said, "Master Shi might as well think about it, if you are willing, it is naturally the best, if you are unwilling, then ...... Can there be eggs under the nest? His ambition for the Northland is like the ambition for today's court, who would have thought that at such an age, he would have ambitions and had to guard against it. ”

Shi Miyuan's expression was solemn, sitting there motionless looking at Ye Qing who got up, subconsciously turning the teacup in his hand, Xie Daoqing on the side naturally didn't dare to disturb, after watching Ye Qing get up, she also hurriedly followed and quietly got up, for some reason, just now she felt confused, but now, she felt a cool breeze, as if there were knives flying around.

"What is Lord Ye's purpose?" Shi Miyuan asked after pondering for a long time.

"Northland." Ye Qing said simply.

"In this way, Lord Ye doesn't plan to get a piece of the pie in Lin'an?" Shi Miyuan confirmed.

"From now on, I hope that you and I will not interfere with the river water, and as before, the officials in the north will be promoted, I will submit it, and you will approve it." Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's eyes and said seriously.

As the so-called retreat is advancing, in the current situation, Ye Qing doesn't know if he will be able to retreat from the safety of his body this time. Therefore, as far as he is concerned, only by making concessions, doing his best to maintain the cohesion of the Northland today, and solving those problems that cannot be solved in the Northland, is the most important thing, and he has to be prepared, the Northland has not been prepared for a period of time.

"Shi needs to think about it, don't send it." Shi Miyuan took a deep breath solemnly and said deeply.

Ye Qing nodded, walked towards the outside of the teahouse with the farts worm, patted the shoulder of the guy at the door, and motioned for him to go and call Qingqiu down.
