Shi Jintang disappeared, which was a thorn in Cui Fu's ambition.
He always felt that Shi Jintang was hiding not just to save his life. How could a person with such great ambitions give up easily?
Ambitious people will always make others gamble more. When it comes to the most critical moment, they will dare to gamble on things that others dare not gamble on, such as gambling on their lives.
Cui Fuye carefully recalled whether he showed murderous intent when he met Shi Jintang.
That guy has nothing to do with the Cui family, so his empty words cannot be considered evidence.
But what is his hidden agenda?
Just to survive?
Cui Fanye couldn't understand this, and there was always a big stone in his heart.
At this time, a servant came to report that Lin Fangchu did not return to Jun Buwei immediately after leaving the flower boat yesterday.
Cui Fanye's mood became even worse because this Lin Fangchu was from Lin Mu Mansion.
If he could make the decision on his own, Lin Fangchu should have been eliminated long ago.
Cui Fanye was not sure whether Lin Fangchu had any evidence of those who joined the Cowardly Army.
If there is, if this evidence is left, it will be a small figure like Lin Fangchu who wants to drag the Cui family to death together.
At this moment, Cui Fanye's father walked in from outside the door.
Cui Zhi has not been an official in the court for many years, but he once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Everyone knows how important this position is.
As the head of the six departments, the official position is special, and the power of the official minister is enough to make his disciples all over the world.
Even though he is no longer in the center of power that seems particularly dazzling now, his disciples are still the incomparable strength in his hands.
"Father."
Cui Fanye quickly stood up.
Cui Zhi nodded, sat down and said, "Are you still worried about Shi Jintang?"
Cui Fanye nodded: "Yes, I think that if this person is not found, he will be a hidden danger after all."
Cui Zhi said: "It's not worth mentioning."
Cui Fuye said: "Father is saying that compared with the people in Lin Mu Mansion, Shi Jintang is not worth mentioning?"
Cui Zhi nodded: "You have been very smart since you were a child. You can understand things that others need to teach many times."
He looked at Cui Fanye: "I'm not worried about that Shi Jintang, he's just a little guy, but I have to be on guard against this guy Lin Mufu."
Cui Fuye said: "At the beginning, it was just that the major families needed such a person in charge, so they promoted his position. Without the support of the major families, Lin Mu Mansion is nothing."
"But he knows too much."
Cui Zhi said: "I heard that the Yu family sent someone to deal with you?"
Cui Fanye said: "There is one of our people in Yu's family, so we have told him the news early."
Cui Zhi snorted: "Then change the order Yu Chan gave them, and you can arrange this matter yourself."
Cui Fanye leaned over: "I understand, kid."
Cui Zhi stood up and said: "I have to go to meet someone outside the city. Please take care of the things in the city. It will take me four or five days to come back. Don't be too aggressive and be more cautious."
"Children remember their father's teachings."
Cui Fuye agreed and then asked: "Father, who are you going to see?"
Cui Zhidao: "At this time, it is not the time for the two parties to fight against each other."
Cui Fanye understood immediately. He nodded and said, "What my father said is that the most important thing now is to cover up the fact that His Majesty wants to investigate Liu Jigong."
Cui Zhidao said: "What should be dealt with should be dealt with, and what should be given up should be given up. There is nothing that cannot be handled well. It is a good thing that you are thoughtful, but if you are too thoughtful, you will lack decisiveness."
Cui Fanye said: "My child understands."
Cui Zhi left home with some followers and took a car out of the city.
Cui Fanye thought about his father's instructions and knew that it was time to make a decision.
At this time, a servant came to report that there was a person outside the door who wanted to see him. He refused to leave no matter how hard he rushed, saying that he had something extremely important to say.
The servant also said that when I asked the man his name, he didn't answer. He just said that he came back from Dongbo.
Cui Fanye couldn't figure out who it was for a moment, and he was curious, so he immediately asked his servants to bring the mysterious guy in.
He didn't meet this person in the living room, but in the pavilion in the front yard.
When the man came closer, he leaned down and saluted: "The common people have seen the young master."
Cui Fuye looked at this person carefully and found that she had never seen him before. He had a photographic memory, so she was sure that she had no impression of this person at all.
"Of course the young master doesn't know Cao Min. Cao Min is just a nobody."
The man looked at Cui Fanye: "But the grass people came back from Dongbo and brought a gift to the young master. The young master should like it."
Cui Fuye looked at the box that the man was carrying.
"What is it?"
The man smiled and pushed open the push-pull lid on the box, revealing a human head inside.
Cui Fanye was not frightened, but his face became gloomy.
He raised his hand, and the surrounding guards gradually came closer, and many crossbows were already aimed at the inexplicable guy.
"Young Master, please be patient and don't be impatient."
The man said: "To be honest, my name is Song Shisan. I was once a little person who wandered around the world. Later, I worked under Wan Xiang's sect, and I solved a lot of troubles for Wan Xiang."
When Cui Fanye heard the word Wanxiang, the face of Wanyulou came to mind.
Hearing that Wan Yu Lou was not dead, the emperor imprisoned Wan Yu Lou in Yunzhou because of Concubine Wan Gui.
"Whose head is this?"
Cui Fanye asked.
"The grassroots are in Dongbo now, working for the head of Dongbo Shangyangbei Sect."
"Sect leader of Shangyang North Sect?"
Cui Fuye recalled it and seemed to have heard about this matter, but he had never cared about it before and it was not worthy of his attention.
"You haven't answered yet, whose head is this."
"Back then, there was a traitor from the cowardly army who was hiding in Dongbo. By coincidence, this person felt that more than ten years had passed and it was safe. He wanted to return to Dayu, but he was afraid that his identity would be exposed."
"So, he boldly joined Shangyang Beizong, hoping to clear his identity..."
At this point, Cui Fanye already understood.
But he would never believe that there could be such a coincidence in this world.
If it is said that Shangyang Beizong did not investigate on purpose, there is not even an iota of truth in this matter.
"What does your sect master want to talk to me about?"
Cui Fuye asked directly.
"It just so happens that our sect leader doesn't like Dongbo either and wants to come back to Dayu."
Song Shisan said: "So the sect master wants to ask the young master for help and mention this matter in front of the emperor at the right opportunity."
Cui Fanye smiled: "Why do you think that I will take care of this matter? You have a human head in your hand, and you think this head is your bargaining chip?"
"No, this is not a bargaining chip, it is a gift."
Song Shisan said: "Sect Master, he hopes to help the young master. Although the Cui family is strong, due to His Majesty's suppression of major families in recent years, apart from the young master, the Cui family does not seem to have any officials above the third rank.
At court."
Not only was Cui Fuye not angry, his eyes were even brighter than before.
Song Shisan said: "The sect leader's people are all Dongbo people, they are all outsiders. Outsiders have good looks and are easy to do things with."
"The most important thing is that the sect leader is now the Dongbo Imperial Master, and the Shangyang Beizong's disciples in Dongbo have numbered hundreds of thousands in just six months."
Song Shisan said: "Even if the sect leader cannot come back to Dayu and the young master has helped, the sect leader will still remember the benefits of the young master. If anything happens to the Cui family, Dongbo will still have a way out.
"
Cui Fuye looked at the young man: "You are very courageous."
Song Shisan said: "Who doesn't want to seek a future?"
Cui Fuye asked: "Why my Cui family?"
Song Shisan said: "Actually, not only the Cui family, but also when the Chaoxin Sect was in Yunzhou..."
At the mention of this, Cui Fanye's eyes suddenly became a little colder.
Tuoba Lie of Chaoxin Sect created it in order to allow him to securely become the leader of Yunzhou.
But not all the people in Chaoxin Sect were arranged by Tuoba Lie himself.
It's like a piece of meat thrown outside the door that still smells fragrant, and flies will fly over in groups.
Song Shisan said: "Many people from the Chaoxin Sect fled to Dongbo. By coincidence, my sect leader is here. He is still the current sect leader of the Chaoxin Sect."
These words indeed shocked Cui Fuye slightly.
It's impossible for him to remain calm with such a mental state.
"Chaoxin Sect could develop so fast back then. How could it be possible without the support of money and material resources?"
Song Shisan said: "I came to Geling this time because I wanted to visit each family. The young master's house was the first one I visited."
Cui Fuye said: "Besides what you just said, what else does your sect master want me to do for you?"
"No more, absolutely no more."
Song Shisan said: "How can excessive demands be exchanged for sincerity?"
He looked at Cui Fanye: "Only by reciprocating courtesy and comparing one's heart to one's heart can you achieve long-term success."
Cui Fanye nodded: "Your sect master is a smart man."
Song Shisan said: "My sect leader said that Mr.
many."
Cui Fanye laughed because of these words, and his smiling eyes seemed brighter, but the chill in this brightness became more and more like the edge of a sword.
"Do you really think that your sect master is a person who can stand up to his reputation? Do you really think that you can scare me with just a few words? Do you really think that you guys with low-level backgrounds are qualified to negotiate terms with me? Do you really think that you guys with low-level backgrounds are qualified to negotiate terms with me?
Do you think that all major families are fools and have no sense?"
He asked several questions in a row. You really thought that this time it was Song Shisan's turn to change his expression.
"I have been a Shiba Inu guarding the home of Wanyu House for several years, and you feel that you can enter the house."
Cui Fuye said: "But... Wanyulou is just a dog in my eyes. He used to be the emperor's dog when he still had some character. Later, he became my dog after he found out that he was also an abandoned son.
"
Cui Fanye: "I just said that I admire your courage, and I just admire your courage."
He waved his hand: "Take it, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs."
His guards immediately stepped forward.
Song Shisan knew that he was careless this time. He had indeed underestimated Cui Fanye and the pride of the Geling family.
He immediately stepped forward, turned his hands into dragon claws, and grabbed Cui Fanye's neck. At this moment, he could only escape by capturing Cui Fanye.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was grabbed by another hand.
There was a click.
Song Shisan's wrist was broken by Cui Fanye, and after a tenth of a breath, Cui Fanye's other hand pinched Song Shisan's neck.
"The Cui family has accumulated hundreds of years of experience, so why should I bow down to you despicable guys? I have the blessing of my ancestors and started practicing martial arts at the age of four, so why am I not as reckless as you guys?"
He just exerted a little force, and Song Shisan's face turned from white to purple.
"I am the eldest son and grandson of the Cui family. The Cui family has hundreds of years of accumulation, unparalleled achievements in the founding of the country, and dozens of generations of hard work... Why do you think that I will ask your little one?
