Chapter 174: Infernal
Mingyi thought that tonight she had the most difficult question to answer since the time travel.
Please, may I ask, why did this adult believe in Feng Mingyi so much in the first place?
Is he worthy of his trust today? Mingyi felt that it was probably not worth it. If it was for the sake of Shi Zhi or Hong Yi, she would not hesitate to betray Wu Qianping. If for the sake of Lianshan, Cheng Yan, Xia Huanfeng, Kwai Niang, Ya Luo and even Xing Qing, or for a large sum of silver enough for her to live for a lifetime, then, after the struggle of human nature, she will still choose to betray Wu Qianping.
But Wu Qianping may not be on the opposite side of these people? At present, isn't it the most perfect situation to not enter the river without flooding, and to benefit each other through her bridge?
Answer, it is always necessary.
Ming Yi responded to Wu Qianping's eyes with an unwavering look: "You can naturally trust me." ”
Wu Qianping raised his head and exhaled a long breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I'll bet this time." ”
What Wu Qianping said afterwards was really unexpected by Mingyi.
More than half a month ago, Lord Kyung Zhao Yoon Choi was received by former Prime Minister Choi Hyun with him, and it was a secret meeting. On that day, he learned that the Cui family had been laying out the rivers and lakes for nearly ten years, supporting the Tianyi Gang, the Shentu Family and the Taoqi Gang. These three families can become bigger, and the Prime Minister's Office can be said to have contributed money and efforts, especially using the power of the Cui family to pave the way for them locally, and using the power of the government to strangle other gangs that hinder the development of the three gangs in the cradle.
Therefore, these three families also swore allegiance to the Cui family and lived and died together.
When Ming Yi heard this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder the three gangs have risen so quickly, is it possible for the Cui clan to rebel against the control of the rivers and lakes?" ”
Wu Qianping smiled coldly: "That's not it, it's just that on the one hand, it is very convenient to use the forces of the rivers and lakes to collect money among the people, and it can be used as eyes and ears and as a mouthpiece, you can hear the voice of the people in the world, and you can also spread intentional rumors; On the other hand, this is like having a large number of superb weapons, if there is any change in the court, if the Cui clan is shaken, the rivers and lakes will be chaotic, and the other party's family may not be able to survive. ”
Ming Yi nodded deeply: "Then it seems that in order to become a climate in the court, you must have your own Jianghu forces." ”
"Yes, the Cui family received the news that Linghu, who had always pretended to be submissive and humble, was secretly contacting some new gangs and wanted to entrap them. Choi Hyun used to be the prime minister, although he was deposed, his family power has not decreased, and he still lives in the prime minister's mansion. In addition, Cui Xuan has often been summoned to discuss political affairs recently, and plans to let him regain his hands at the beginning of spring next year. Wu Qianping's expression was cloudy, and he didn't seem to be fully betting on Cui's.
Ming Yi expected that he was now being reused by the Cui family, and it was unlikely that he would switch to a master like Linghu with an uncertain future, so he also comforted: "The Cui family's foundation is unfathomable and will not fall easily. ”
Wu Qianping nodded: "Cui Xuan's original liaison with the important task unfortunately died, so Lord Jing Zhaoyin recommended me to succeed the liaison envoy, and secretly connected with the three major gangs to communicate the intentions of both parties. ”
Ming Yi clenched his fists and said: "Congratulations to Brother Qianping, this is the most critical position, which shows the trust that Lord Jing Zhaoyin and the Prime Minister have in you." ”
"Yes, I have been walking on thin ice in officialdom for so many years, and I have finally been truly accepted by Cui's family, and I don't think I can go wrong with this task. If you make a mistake, your future will be ruined, and you may be the same as your predecessor's liaison envoy, and your bones will be gone. Wu Qianping glanced at Ming Yi deeply, "This identity was originally unknown to anyone, even his wife and children. But I still want you to know that if one day I don't know how to go, and the old housekeeper is old, and I don't know if I'm still there, I can only bother Lao Mingyi to erect a well-dressed mound for me, so that I don't have to wander and be alone. ”
Ming Yi didn't expect Wu Qianping to make this request, he was extremely stunned, and he was ashamed of the idea of how many people he wanted to sell him for just now, and his eyes were slightly hot: "Don't worry, if there is a day, I will set up a tablet for you and offer incense day and night." ”
Wu Qianping smiled a little bitterly: "Before that day, I still have something to worry about Mingyi. ”
"Just say it." Mingyi is surging at the moment, and he agrees.
"I know that Mingyi has dealings with the Shangguan Gang, and I hope to help me inquire about the news to see if the Linghu family has contacted the Shangguan Gang, and if so, what do they plan to do." Wu Qianping opened the soup cup, the sweet soup was still hot, and the white mist was steaming upward, making his thin face a little softer.
Ming Yi was stunned, but fortunately his brain could still turn. Yes, since Wu Qianping has become a liaison envoy, he must have met with the leaders of the three major gangs, no wonder the previous lineup opened in Yifang East Market, Gong Junhao and the Shentu brothers could come, I am afraid that Tao Sanniang was also in Chang'an at that time, but he just refused to give this face.
Gong Junhao and the Shentu brothers both knew that Xia Huanfeng was a member of the Shangguan gang, so they opened up to the official website, so Wu Qianping naturally knew about it. It's just that how does he know that he knows Xia Huanfeng's identity in the rivers and lakes? Or is it just trying to scam her?
Ming Yi wanted to say that he didn't know that Xia Huanfeng was from the rivers and lakes, and he was just an ordinary shopkeeper. But after thinking about it, he can't take risks, in case he has news that he has seen Shi Ruoshan and is very familiar with it, then won't he immediately wear it? She took Shi Ruoshan to Xinglu Courtyard and saw a lot of people. Moreover, Yin's mother may not be Cui's eyes and ears.
Thinking clearly, Mingyi decided to lie as little as possible.
She explained that she did know that Xia Huanfeng was from the rivers and lakes, but she couldn't figure out what gang or force. It was Xia Huanfeng who helped her pull the business, and she had seen people from various gangs, and she was also in the clouds. A while ago, Shi Ruoshan, the leader of the Shangguan gang, came, and in order to repay Xia Huanfeng's favor in many ways, he took him to Xinglu Courtyard to drink flower wine.
From Wu Qianping's eyes, Ming Yi could see that he was very satisfied with what he said, and it seemed that he must have grasped some information, so as to confirm that he was frank with him.
Ming Yi decided to pretend to be more like: "I know some people from the rivers and lakes, I just think they can make money for me, and if something happens, I can find some help." I didn't expect Brother Qianping to reach the realm of controlling the world, to be honest, I'm afraid, I don't want to wade into this troubled water. Now let me be a spy for you, I'm afraid that if I don't set up a tablet for you by then, my life will be lost in some barren mountains and mountains. ”
Wu Qianping comforted: "How can it be." You have a lot of dealings with me, and everyone knows it, and if you are willing to marry in, it will be even more justified. Except for Lord Kyung Zhao Yin and Lord Prime Minister, no one knows my identity. If I don't expose you, how can you be discovered? I just think you and I have a personal relationship. ”
Ming Yi snorted: "Don't mention the matter of men and women, I still want to be able to get married." It's just that I took such a risk for Brother Qianping, and I couldn't do without a trace of compensation. ”
Ming Yi looked at Wu Qianping with a smile, waiting for him to throw out the bid.
