Chapter 540: Be more domineering and better than others

Mao Yongming stepped forward to investigate the crowd of Xian Yuexing, and it was naturally Kanze who came out to answer.

Seeing Mao Yongming coming, Jin Ze actually performed a little excitedly: "Sir, you are here... When did Chunnan's public security be so bad? Last night we met a bandit and insisted that we leave 10% of the price of goods before letting us go. Fortunately, the guards of the villain are still skilled, so they have to take it over... Sir, this is not the case all the way, right? We small businessmen, who strictly follow the laws of the two countries, can't afford these things."

Mao Yongming knew what was going on, and his soldiers were angry. However, he had some eyesight to command the soldiers of the first battalion. Why was it okay before, but Ye Tao was in such trouble when he came? No one would believe that Ye Tao did not play any role. Moreover, this matter cannot be said on the surface. After all, this kind of blackmail along the way indeed violates the agreement between the two countries.

Mao Yongming immediately asked to see Ye Tao. But when he came out to answer, he was indeed the rank of a camp lieutenant. He neither explained the reasons nor felt that there was any attitude that needed to be concealed. He replied straight: "No!"

Mao Yongming took his leave in disappointment. He didn't dare to do anything to Ye Tao, even if it was on Chunnan's land. After a rough look, he knew that it would be no more effort to destroy the thousands of people around him.

When he returned to the camp, Mao Yongming was so angry that he lost hundreds of people, but he had no place to vent his anger, and he was ignored. This matter must not be solved through formal channels, but reporting to the adults who supported him was necessary.

Ye Tao was not convenient for him to continue to find opportunities to kill Chunnan soldiers, but along the way, he asked them to follow the mission. Ye Tao said, "When you meet someone who is not very eye-catching, ask them to ask me for money."

Unexpectedly, there was such a blind man. More than 300 miles away from Yuhang, a domineering general brought a thousand men to ask for money. He didn't realize that it was a slander and rushed up to block the mission's way. Now Ye Tao was also angry and gave the order and 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 spread to Yuhang, but the two princes and several important officials discussed for a long time but no results were achieved. Although Ye Tao is domineering, can you say he is wrong? It can only be said that he came here just to prevent Chunnan from looking good, and this is just to let him seize the right opportunity. Not only the problems along the way, Ye Tao even asked the chamber of commerce in Dongping to sort out all the records of their extortion of extra taxes and the bribery they were seeking asylum, and openly declared that he would solve this problem this time. Such words naturally soon passed to Yuhang.

Ye Tao led the increasingly large caravan toward Yuhang slowly. He was naturally not in a hurry. This time his itinerary was not easy. He moved forward so slowly, just to wait for the preparations in Yuhang to be implemented one by one.

Chunnan was extremely afraid of Ye Tao, but the surface etiquette was indispensable. The two princes brought many important officials to the suburbs for twenty miles. Along the way, Ye Tao and the two princes just talked a little about some interesting things about Dongping's attack on Bei Liao. Ye Tao was quite optimistic about the current governance of Bei Liao, and everything went very smoothly. However, the strong confidence shown in his tone was enough to make the two princes Chunnan feel sad. The faster Dongping digested Bei Liao, the faster they prepared for a new war, which everyone knew. Ye Tao was unfriendly along the way, as if he was making some statement.

"Zhenglu Ye, those things along the way shouldn't be bothering you. In fact, if you send me a letter, I will naturally be able to deal with it. It's really my fault to make Ye Lui's trouble over these trivial matters." said the second prince.

"Diplomatic affairs are nothing." Ye Tao's reaction was faint. "What's more, the Chunnan Dynasty Bureau is also what I care about. What I see along the way makes people extremely worried. Once the old king dies, the new king has not been established. It seems that the Chunnan court's control over the local area is very problematic. If you hurt them a little bit in the past, they will not come in the future. Both countries have less taxes. The guy who is so poor that he should not get the money... Haha, let's not talk about it. Since I have made some promises to the merchants, I will naturally have to solve this matter. Both princes are here, so you might as well think about how to solve this matter."

The two princes had a gloomy face. In the current court, how could the two princes give up their control over the local areas and unable to control the central government, and local control became their most important bargaining chip. Now, the power of the two princes combined has almost covered 90% of the entire Chunnan territory. It can be said that it is the time when Chunnan is the most solidly controlled in history. However, this kind of mastery is indulgent. Since the generals below are required to follow him at the most unscrupulous moment, regardless of whether they are willing to pay any cost, they must give them full sweetness now. It is really not easy for Ye Tao to eliminate the extra assignment of business and travel. Those generals, except for a few direct descendants and particularly close relationships, are very difficult to say hello at this time. But the two princes have to try. Ye Tao's investigation in this regard is much better than taking the army strategy to solve the problem?

When he arrived in Yuhang City, Ye Tao lived in a mansion provided by a giant merchant in Dongping. In fact, this giant merchant was an official of the Intelligence Bureau, covering up local secret spies and providing them with sufficient funds. However, this official was hidden very deeply and would not be easily involved in the work of the intelligence detectives, but maintained a very detached identity as a businessman.

"Jinluo Ye, are you attending the evening banquet?" The person who came to ask Ye Tao was Nie Rui who was disguised.

"Who is there?" Ye Tao asked indifferently.

"There are two princes, Song Xiangjun and her husband, including three ministers, two grand clerks, and... a few idle people." Nie Rui snorted and said, he was obviously very dissatisfied with such a list.

"Is Chang Ling not going to show up?" Ye Tao was obviously extremely dissatisfied. Chang Ling is getting more and more excessive now. Even at the lowest point, coming to meet Ye Tao is a kind of expression of kindness. "Kinze, please use my post to meet Chang Ling. Tomorrow afternoon, you will... Forget it, you can find a place casually."

Ye Tao would never use the word "seeking" to Chang Ling. In Dongping, his status is much higher than that of Chang Ling. His treatment in Dongping is not just those who are not treated like the seemingly free from courtship and swords. He is too lazy to bring him. A sword, even if it is just a ritual purpose, is light and beautiful, is still very heavy. In Yuhang, this identity is still there, Ye Tao is making an appointment with a princess from Dongping, not a princess from Chunnan.

Kanze naturally mastered this standard well. Although Chang Ling was so angry that she really couldn't refuse such a request. But she turned around and went to find her second brother, hoping to help support the situation.

The location that Kanze decided was outside the city, near the seawall. This restaurant with a remote location is now one of the most famous restaurants in Yuhang and a restaurant with a very prosperous atmosphere. When Ye Tao was about to come, he naturally took over a floor.

Chang Ling came late, and she couldn't hide her arrogant but nervous attitude when she stopped.

"I have met Concubine Lian." Ye Tao greeted quietly.

"Ye Jinglei, it's been a long time since I saw you." Tan Weizai was a little enthusiastic. Although he hadn't seen you for many years, whenever there was anything fun, the Ye Family Workshop would always remember to bring him a copy. Ye Tao himself couldn't remember these things, but his subordinates would always do more thoughtful things. He might not have much chance to play with Tan Weizai's toys. After all, there are too many things he doesn't understand to learn on weekdays, but children can remember this favor.

"Hello, Your Highness." Ye Tao touched Tan Weizai's head, which was kind, but natural.

"Ye Jingluo summoned him, don't know... what's wrong?" Chang Ling asked after sitting down.

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

"This..." Chang Ling's face suddenly turned red, and she calmed down a little, and then she said, "Weizai's studies are relatively tight. Besides, I haven't been eliminated for a long time. I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

"It will be half a year by the twelfth of next month. Haven't you been given up yet? If Chunnan's Ministry of Rites did it for you according to the princess procedure, I would look down on me a little." Ye Tao said coldly: "Your Highness Lian Concubine, please remember that you are the Princess Dongping first. I am not asking for your consent, but just tell you. Both princes miss my younger brother. In addition, my prince in Dongping naturally has his own set of education." Ye Tao said this very seriously. Ye Tao glanced at Tan Weizai, and it was obvious that Tan Weizai was a little excited. I am afraid that he would be very upset about Chunnan's education now. But his mother and Ye Tao were so furious that Tan Weizai was also a little nervous.

"Justice Ye... is so powerful!" Chang Ling was already on the verge of being angry. But no matter how you look at the current situation, it is not conducive to him. In terms of treating Ye Tao, this time, both the eldest and second brothers seemed to be relatively weak. But Chang Ling knew that if she returned to Dongping, she would be treated as a quasi-cold palace, which was far less free than in Yuhang.

This meeting was a statement, but it was also a test of Chunnan's bottom line. Now it seems that both princes are relatively rational, at least they have not had to make a name for Chang Ling. Chang Ling was reasonable and had no reason to stay in Yuhang. Even the six-month mourning period was actually too much for a princess who had already married far away.

When Ye Tao returned to the mansion, he began to arrange things in full swing. Chang Ling probably wouldn't submit easily. Although the two princes did not respond positively, if they did not make a fuss about this matter, then Ye Tao would underestimate them. In the eyes of others, Ye Tao seemed to invite some Dongping people who are famous in Chunnan to exchange situations all day long to share the situation and hand over the negotiations to Feng Zi. But in fact, Ye Tao was constantly passing some news through those people. Ye Tao and the second prince met twice, privately, promised to assist him in ascending the throne, but Chang Ling and Tan Weizai must

Returning to Danyang, Chang Ling was sold by her second brother whom she trusted. In addition, the negotiation process was not smooth. Chunnan, who had already realized Dongping's ambition and strength, was very stuck in various conditions. Even in terms of trade and taxation, someone wanted to simply determine the additional assignments along the way after entering the country. This was naturally not allowed. Fengzian even threatened to block the borders of the two countries. At the same time, a large number of sensitive materials, such as weapons, armor, etc., were blocked in a comprehensive manner. Chunnan still refused to surrender. The atmosphere of consultation became more and more serious.

Ye Tao was not very worried about this situation. Since the Second Prince had reached such an agreement with him, then any negotiation is just a superficial article, let alone Ye Tao did not regard the negotiation as how important it is. But unexpected things happened. Ye Tao knew nothing about Fuhutang, but Fuhutang regarded Ye Tao as a great enemy. Jiang Yan, who had already started to deploy Fuhutang as a central important official, could he relax his vigilance against important figures in Chunnan? Around Chang Ling, there was a maid from Fuhutang. The maid pretended to be from the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion with him. Ye Tao and the second prince had a few conversations, and just this news made Chang Ling worried.

Destiny must be in her own hands, and Chang Ling is not willing to be lonely. She has always been dependent on the Second Prince, but now, although it is a little more urgent, she still has to start building her own network of relationships. Chang Ling met with several ministers who participated in the talks between the two countries. After all, she is the Princess of Dongping, and it makes sense to care about these things, so the ministers naturally know everything. But she hinted that these ministers must be careful of Dongping's strategy layout.

Yuhang fell into a strange atmosphere during those days. Several of the most noble and important figures seemed to be constantly meeting people from all walks of life. Ye Tao, the two princes, and even Chang Ling was like this. At this moment, something shocking happened. When Chang Ling was traveling, he met an assassin, the captain of the guards, and the Dongping Imperial Guards, Zhuo Xiansen was killed in the fight against the enemy. Zhuo Xiansen is a child of the Zhuo family. He is only twenty-two years old, and he has a bright future. The purpose of coming to Chunnan is to let him know more about the situation in Chunnan. The officers who understand Chunnan may not play much role in the early stage, but when the war enters the middle and late stages, it is necessary to appease the place and clear out various residual resistance forces, such officers can play a huge role. But now, Zhuo Xiansen falls into the hands of the assassin.

In less than two hours, Ye Tao learned what was strange through Nie Rui. After the assassination incident, Zhuo Xiansen immediately ran to Chang Ling's carriage to ask for advice and comfort Chang Ling's emotions. But at that time, another person on the carriage grabbed Zhuo Xiansen's wrist in an instant, and he could not move. The assassin attacked at this time and stabbed Zhuo Xiansen to death with a sword. He had no way to resist at all. Zhuo Xiansen's deputy Yu Jun caught a glimpse of these, but he endured it. This was not something he could do.

It was not something he could do to avenge Zhuo Xiansen. That night, Chang Ling, who was "unsuccessful", reorganized the power of the guards. Jin Chan'er, who had been following Chang Ling's maid, adjusted the layout of the guards very skillfully, and drew a group of people from the Chunnan Imperial Guards and the Great Inner Guards. Then, several other people from the martial arts world entered the guards. For a moment, Chang Ling's guards became a powerful combat power within the entire Yuhang, especially those experts who joined the martial arts world, who were very skilled.

Fuhutang also directly intervened in the complex situation through such measures. Yuhang became a little nervous for a while.

"It's good to be so chaotic. It's better to see a person's true face and nature than you would think about it at that time. It's a pity that Zhuo Xiansen." Ye Tao said this. He also had a strong murderous intent in his heart. Originally, he didn't want to do it very well. If Chang Ling followed him back obediently, everyone would be better. Even Chang Ling would always maintain a relatively high supply standard in Danyang and would not change because of any situation in Chunnan. But now, Chang Ling's posture was clearly saying: No one can decide where I go. If you want to do something random, don't blame me for going crazy!

The unreasonable person can only be dealt with incomprehensible ways. So Ye Tao asked Jinze to hand over a tough sentence to the second prince: "If you don't have the ability to control Chang Ling, then I'll do it." Then, Ye Tao summoned a group of people overnight and prepared to adopt another plan.
