Chapter 540 is a little more domineering, and it is better than others

Mao Yongming stepped forward to inquire about the people who were Xian Yuexing.

Seeing Mao Yongming coming, Jin Ze was a little excited: "My lord, are you here...... When did the security in Chunnan become so bad? Last night we met the bandits, who insisted that we leave 10% of the price of the goods before letting us go. Fortunately, the villain's guards still have some skills, so they can carry it over...... My lord, it won't be like this all the way, will it? We small businessmen, who do business in strict accordance with the laws of the two countries, really can't afford these things. ”

Mao Yongming knew what was going on, and the soldiers under his command were angry. However, he can command a battalion of soldiers, and he can be regarded as a bit of eyesight. Why was it okay before, but Ye Tao had such trouble when he came? If you want to say that Ye Tao didn't play any role in it, no one will believe it. Moreover, this matter cannot be spread out on the table. After all, this kind of blackmail along the way is indeed a violation of the agreement between the two countries.

Mao Yongming immediately led someone to see Ye Tao. But when he came out to answer, he was indeed a person with the rank of battalion captain, and he neither explained the reason, nor did he feel that there was any need to hide his attitude, and replied straightly: "No! ”

Mao Yongming retired, he didn't dare to do anything with Ye Tao, even if it was on Chunnan's land. He took a cursory look and knew that it would not be too difficult for Ye Tao to destroy the thousands of people he had brought with him.

Back in the camp, Mao Yongming was so angry that he was going crazy, he lost hundreds of people, but there was no place to be angry, and he was ignored. This matter certainly cannot be resolved through formal channels, but it is necessary to report it to a few adults who are carrying you.

It was inconvenient for Ye Tao to continue to look for opportunities to kill Chunnan soldiers, but when he encountered Dongping caravans along the way, he asked them all to follow the mission. Ye Tao put down his words: "If you meet someone who doesn't have long eyes, let them come and ask me for money." ”

I didn't expect that there really is such a thing that doesn't have long eyes. More than 300 miles away from Yuhang, a general who was accustomed to being arrogant came with a thousand men and horses to ask for money, but he didn't hear that it was a counterword, and rushed up directly to block the way of the mission. At this time, Zi Ye Tao was also angry, and with an order, he disarmed them all and tied them to a tree on the side of the road.

There have been many similar incidents, all of which have been reported to Yuhang, but the two princes and several important ministers have discussed for a long time and there is no result. Although Ye Tao is domineering, can you say that he is wrong? can only say that he came here to prevent Chunnan from looking good, this is just for him to seize the right opportunity. Not only was it a problem along the way, Ye Tao even asked Dongping's chamber of commerce to compile a record of their extorted additional taxes, as well as the bribes they took when they sought asylum, openly claiming that this time he would solve the problem. Naturally, such words quickly spread to Yu Hang.

In this way, Ye Tao took the larger and larger caravan and galloped towards Yu Hang unhurriedly. Naturally, he was not in a hurry, this time the trip was not easy, he was moving forward so slowly, but also to wait for those preparations in Yuhang to be implemented one by one.

Chunnan was extremely jealous of Ye Tao, but the etiquette on the surface was indispensable at all. The two princes brought many important ministers to the outskirts of the city, and along the way, Ye Tao and the two princes only chatted a little about some interesting things about Dongping's attack on Northern Liao. Ye Tao is still quite optimistic about the current governance of Northern Liao, and everything is going extremely smoothly. But the strong confidence displayed in the tone was enough to make the two princes of Chunnan feel close. The faster the Dongping digested the Northern Liao, the faster they prepared for a new war, and everyone knew this. And Ye Tao's unfriendly posture along the way also seemed to be making some kind of statement.

"Ye Jingluo, those things along the way really shouldn't bother you. In fact, if you pass the book to me, I will naturally let someone handle it. Let Ye Jingluo worry about these little things, it's really my fault. The second prince said.

"Diplomacy is no small matter." Ye Tao's reaction was faint. "What's more, the Chunnan Dynasty is also something I care about. What I saw along the way made people extremely worried. As soon as the old lord dies and the new monarch is not established, it seems that the Chunnan Imperial Court has some problems with its control over the place. If you hurt them in the past, they won't come in the future. Both countries have a lot less tax revenue. Guy who is fat and doesn't deserve to get money...... Hehe, don't talk about it. Since I have made a commitment to the merchants, I naturally have to solve it. The two princes are here, so you might as well think together about how to solve this matter. ”

The two princes looked gloomy. The current situation in the court, how could the two princes give up control of various places and be unable to grasp the central power, and local control has become their most important bargaining chip. Now, the combined power of the two princes covers almost the entire territory of Chunnan, and it can be said that now is the moment when the Chunnan region has been firmly mastered in history. However, this kind of mastery is conniving, and since the generals below are to follow them at the last resort, regardless of any cost, then they must give them full sweetness now. It is really not easy for Ye Tao to put an end to the addition of business travel. Those generals, except for a few who are particularly close to each other, are very difficult to greet at this time. But the two princes had to try again, and Ye Tao was much better off investigating in this regard than taking a large army to solve the problem, right?

When he arrived in Yuhang City, Ye Tao lived in a mansion provided by a giant merchant in Dongping. In fact, this giant is an officer of the Intelligence Bureau, covering the local spies and providing them with adequate funds. It's just that this official is extremely well hidden, and he will not easily be involved in the work of those intelligence sentinels, but maintains a rather detached businessman status.

"Ye Jingluo, do you want to participate in the banquet in the evening?" It was Nie Rui who came to ask Ye Tao in disguise.

"Who's going?" Ye Tao asked nonchalantly.

"Two princes, the Song family is Song Xiangjun and her husband participated, three scholars, two scholars, and ...... There are a number of miscellaneous people. Nie Rui snorted and said, he was obviously very dissatisfied with such a list.

"Chang Ling isn't ready to show up?" Ye Tao was obviously extremely dissatisfied. This Chang Ling is getting more and more excessive now, even if at the very least, to meet Ye Tao can be regarded as some kind of goodwill. "Kanazawa, you take my post and make an appointment to meet Chang Ling. Tomorrow afternoon, in ...... Forget it, you can find a random place. ”

Ye Tao would never use the word "seeking" to Chang Ling, in Dongping, his status was much higher than Chang Linglai. His current treatment in Dongping is not just those superficial exemptions from bringing swords into the court. Let him take him too lazy to bring it, a sword, even if it is only for ceremonial purposes, the light and good-looking kind, is still very heavy. When he arrived in Yuhang, this identity was still there, and Ye Tao was making an appointment with a princess of Dongping, not a princess of Chunnan.

Jin Ze naturally has a good grasp of this scale, although Chang Ling is half angry, but she really can't refuse this kind of request. But she turned around and went to the second brother, hoping to help survive the scene.

Kanazawa decided to take the location outside the castle, near the seawall, which was built with a view tower. This somewhat remote restaurant is now one of the most famous restaurants in Yuhang, and it is also a restaurant with a very rich and heroic atmosphere. And Ye Tao is coming, so it is logical to take a floor.

Chang Ling was late, and it was difficult to hide that arrogant but apprehensive attitude between his actions.

"I've seen Concubine Lian." Ye Tao greeted lightly.

"Ye Jingluo, long time no see." Tan Weiya is a little enthusiastic. Although I haven't seen him for many years, whenever there is anything interesting, Ye's workshop will always remember to bring a copy to myself. Ye Tao himself can't remember these things, but his subordinates will always be more thoughtful. Talking about Weiya's toys, he may not have much chance to play, after all, there are too many things he doesn't understand to learn on weekdays, but this favor, children remember.

"Your Highness." Ye Tao touched Tan Weiya's head, cordial, but natural.

"Ye Jingluo summoned me, I don't know...... Is there something going on? After sitting down, Chang Ling asked.

"After the mission is over, I will bring His Highness back to Danyang." Ye Tao said briefly, this was clearly a notice, not a request.

"This ......" Chang Ling's face turned red all of a sudden, and her breath smoothed out a little before she said: "Wei Ya's studies are relatively tight, besides, my father has not been dead for a long time, and I haven't taken it yet, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient." ”

"By the twelfth of next month, it will be half a year. You haven't taken it off yet? If the Chunnan Rite Department had done it for you according to the princess's procedures, it would have made me look down on me a little. Ye Tao said coldly: "Your Royal Highness Concubine Lian, please remember that you are first and foremost Princess Dongping. I'm not asking for your consent on this, I'm just telling you about it. The two princes miss their younger brothers, and in addition, my prince of Dongping naturally has his own set of upbringing. Ye Tao's words have been said very seriously. Ye Tao glanced at Tan Weiya, obviously Tan Weiya was a little excited, I am afraid he is also very annoyed by Chunnan's education now. But the mother and Ye Tao had such a stiff quarrel, and Tan Weiya was also a little apprehensive.

Ye Jingluo ...... What a majesty! "Chang Ling is already on the verge of going berserk. But no matter how you look at the current situation, it is not in your favor. In terms of treating Ye Tao, this time, whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother, they seem to be relatively weak. But Chang Ling knew that if he returned to Dongping, it would be the treatment of the Quasi-Cold Palace, which was far less leisurely than in Yuhang.

This meeting is a statement, but it is also a test of Chunnan's bottom line. Now it seems that the two princes are relatively rational, at least they don't want to stand up for Chang Ling. Chang Ling was reasonable, and there was no reason to continue to stay in Yuhang. Even a six-month mourning period is actually very excessive for a princess who has been married far away.

Back at the mansion, Ye Tao began to arrange it in full swing. Chang Ling may not be easy to comply, although the two princes did not respond positively, but if they don't make a fuss about this matter, it will make Ye Tao underestimate them. In the eyes of others, Ye Tao seemed to invite some Dongping people who were more famous in Chunnan all day long to exchange information, and handed over the negotiation to Feng Hao, but in fact, Ye Tao was constantly passing on some news through those people. Ye Tao and the second prince met twice, and in private, promised to help him ascend the throne, but Chang Ling and Tan Weiya must return to Danyang. Unknowingly, Chang Ling was sold by her trusted second brother. Other than that, the negotiations did not go smoothly. Chunnan, who has realized Dongping's ambition and strength, is very stuck in various conditions. Even in terms of trade taxes, some people actually want to determine the number of gasai along the way after entering the country. Naturally, this is not allowed, and Feng Wei even threatens to blockade the border between the two countries. At the same time, a large number of sensitive materials, such as ordnance, armor and the like, were completely blocked. Chunnan still refuses to give in. The atmosphere of the meeting became more and more solemn.

Ye Tao is not too worried about this situation. Since the second prince had reached such an agreement with him, any negotiation now was only superficial, not to mention that Ye Tao didn't really regard the negotiation as important in the first place. But the unexpected happened. Ye Tao didn't know anything about Fuhutang, but Fuhutang regarded Ye Tao as a great enemy. Jiang Yan, who had already begun to lay out Fuhutang as a central minister, how could he relax his vigilance against the important people in Chunnan? Beside Chang Ling, there was a maid who was a member of Fuhu Hall. The maid pretended to hear it from the guards of the second prince's mansion, Ye Tao and the second prince had several conversations, just this news made Chang Ling worried.

Fate has to be in his own hands, and Chang Ling is not willing to be lonely. Originally, she had always been attached to the second prince, but now, although it was a little urgent, she still had to start building her own set of networks. Chang Ling met with several ministers who participated in the talks between the two countries, after all, she was the princess of Dongping, and it was reasonable to care about these things, and the ministers naturally knew everything. But she hinted to these ministers that they must be careful about Dongping's strategic layout.

Yu Hang fell into a strange atmosphere in those days. Several of the most noble and important people seem to be constantly meeting with people from all walks of life. Ye Tao is like this, the two princes are like this, and even Chang Ling is like this. And at this moment, a shocking thing happened. When Chang Ling was traveling, he met the assassin, the captain of the guard, Zhuo Xiansen, the captain of the Dongping Forbidden Army Battalion, who was killed in the enemy. Zhuo Xiansen is a child of the Zhuo family, only twenty-two years old, he can be said to have a bright future, and he came to Chunnan to let him know more about Chunnan's situation. Tan Xiaopei is expected to fight with Chunnan for a while, and officers who understand the situation in Chunnan may not play much role in the early stage, but when the war enters the middle and late stages, it is necessary to pacify the localities and eliminate all kinds of remnants of resistance, this kind of officer can play a huge role. But now, Zhuo Xiansen fell into the hands of the Assassins.

In less than two hours, Ye Tao knew the strange thing through Nie Rui. After the assassination incident, Zhuo Xiansen immediately ran to Chang Ling's carriage to ask for greetings, and also to appease Chang Ling's emotions. But at that time, there was another person in the carriage, who grabbed Zhuo Xiansen's wrist for a moment, and he couldn't move, and the assassin attacked at this time, stabbing Zhuo Xiansen to death with a sword, and he couldn't resist at all. Zhuo Xiansen's deputy Yu Jun caught a glimpse of this, but he endured it, this matter was not something he could solve, and revenge for Zhuo Xiansen was not something he could do. That night, the "frightened" Chang Ling reorganized the guards. Jin Chan'er, the maid who had been following Chang Ling, adjusted the layout of the guards with great skill, and transferred a group of people from the Chunnan Forbidden Army and the Ouchi guards, and then several people from the rivers and lakes entered the guards. Suddenly, Chang Ling's guards became the most powerful force in the entire Yuhang, especially the masters of the rivers and lakes who joined, and they were all very skilled.

Through such measures, Fuhutang also directly intervened in the complicated situation in one fell swoop. Yu Hang actually made some noise for a while.

"It's okay to make such a fuss, it's better to see a person's true face and true temperament clearly than to think about it when the time comes. It's a pity for Zhuo Xiansen. Ye Tao said. He also had a strong murderous intent brewing in his heart. Originally, he didn't want to do it absolutely. If Chang Ling obediently goes back, everyone will be a little better, and even Chang Ling will always maintain a relatively high supply standard in Danyang, and it will not change because of anything that happens in Chunnan. But now, Chang Ling's posture is clearly saying: No one can decide where I go, if you want to mess around, don't blame me for going crazy!

The unreasonable can only be dealt with in an unreasonable way. So, Ye Tao asked Jin Ze to hand a hard word to the second prince: "If you don't have the ability to control Chang Ling, then I'll come." Subsequently, Ye Tao gathered a group of people overnight and prepared to adopt another set of plans.
