Chapter 142 Confronting the traitor

At this time, the night was dark, and Ye Ningyu, who had changed his clothes, followed Qing Lian, and the two of them arrived outside Ye Yongchang's study one by one. Since Ye Yongchang's death, Ye Ningyu came to the study room every few days. Therefore, the study room was still the same as before. When the servants saw the eldest girl coming to the master's study room, they only said that she missed her father, and they had no other thoughts except sighing. "You don't have to stay here. I'll come back in an hour. You can count on the time to come again."

After Ye Ningyu gave Qinglian instructions, he opened the door and entered the house. Ye Ningyu was very familiar with the decorations inside the house. She did not hold the lights and walked to the pine and cypress paintings, pushed the painting away, and gently pressed the wall, and the wall opposite slowly moved. Ye Ningyu gently entered the secret passage and walked towards Hemingxuan. After about two cups of tea, Ye Ningyu gently knocked on the door of the secret passage. After receiving the response from outside the door, the door was opened by her. Manager Lin stood in front of Ye Ningyu with concern, "Girl, come here so late, what's wrong?"

Manager Lin's expression was very worried and solemn. Ye Ningyu had not come from the secret passage for a long time. He had come to Hemingxuan generously for a meal once or twice, but they were all at the main entrance. "Uncle Lin, arrange a soundproof private room for me..." Manager Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing Ye Ningyu's instructions, and then went out to arrange it. Soon, Manager Lin personally took Ye Ningyu to a private room on the second floor and ordered the client to serve wine and food. Then, he personally stayed outside, waiting for Ye Ningyu's distinguished guest. Soon, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the stairwell. Then, he saw the client leading a gorgeously dressed and powerful face.

Yi's man walked up. The man Lin knew the man in front of him, but he said nothing, and nodded slightly at the man, then opened the door of the private room behind him. Cui Jingzhong entered the private room without looking sideways. Apart from the table of wine and food, he saw only the back of a woman. Cui Jingzhong was a little suspicious. He had known that someone would look for him tonight, but he guessed that Ye Yongde or Ye Yonghe, and even thought of a statement to the two brothers. But the woman in front of him had a very familiar back... Ye Ningyu heard the movement behind him, turned around, and looked at him with a smile, "Right Prime Minister."

Cui Jingzhong's expression was a little surprised, and seemed to have thought of something in a blink of an eye. When he looked at Ye Ningyu, his eyes were filled with a touch of playfulness. "Ye...Prince Jinwen."

The two nodded slightly. "Please sit down by Lord Cui."

After saying that, without waiting for Cui Jingzhong to sit down, Ye Ningyu entered the seat first. Cui Jingzhong narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and sat opposite Ye Ningyu. "Mr. Jinwen is looking for me tonight, but what's wrong?"

Ye Ningyu raised his lips, took out a pot of wine, and poured half a cup of Cui Jingzhong. "Mr. Cui must be wondering why it is not the third uncle or the fourth uncle sitting here tonight, but it is my woman."

Looking at the wine glass in front of him, Cui Jingzhong raised his eyebrows, and he became more and more concerned about the woman in his heart. "The news about County Lord Jinwen is really well-informed."

"I don't dare to take it seriously, but I still know much about Cui Xiang."

Both of them are smart people, how could Cui Jingzhong not understand these words? His hands were clenched into fists, but he had a smile on his face. "The letter tonight was also sent by the Lord Jinwen?"

Ye Ningyu just smiled and did not answer the question. She raised her glass of wine, "This is Shu wine. Cui Xiang drinks less on weekdays, right? Speaking of which, this wine was sent by the caravan of Jiannan Road. Why not try it?"

Cui Jingzhong's face twitched and he let out a breath. He picked up the wine glass, respected Ye Ningyu from the air, and drank numbly. "It's indeed a good wine."

Seeing Cui Jingzhong's calm look, Ye Ningyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Cui Jingzhong's disguise skills were really good. Even though he felt a lot of fear in his heart at this time, he could still drink with her with a smile. "However, County Lord Jinwen called me over tonight, not just for the sake of drinking?"

Ye Ningyu picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for himself and Cui Jingzhong. Then, Ye Ningyu picked up a dish on the table, "This fried sweet potato is also produced in the southwest. Why don't Lord Cui taste one or two?"

After saying that, Ye Ningyu picked up a golden sweet potato and ate it on his own. She whispered softly when she was eating, her every move was very modest, without losing the etiquette of a lady, but she did not act squint. It made people feel calm in front of the woman in front of her, and her body was filled with a noble and extraordinary aura. Cui Jingzhong couldn't sit still. He had never dealt with Ye Ningyu head-on before, and his understanding of her was only heard and what Ye Ningyu saw and heard in the hall on the day he complained to the emperor. He knew that the Ye family was the Great.

The girl was steady and courageous, but she didn't know that when she was alone with her, the woman's fierce aura was no less than that of the top officials. At this time, Manager Lin walked in with a pot of tea. He put two tea cups in front of the two, poured tea for them, and then went out without saying a word. Ye Ningyu held the tea cup and looked at it carefully, but did not drink it. "Mengshan Qing tea is refreshing. Unfortunately, it's too late today, and it's easy to sleep after drinking it. Lord Cui might as well smell it, to see if the tea smells familiar?"

Cui Jingzhong was even more uneasy. He didn't have to smell it. He knew better than others what the taste of Mengshan tea tasted. Among the southwest caravans he cooperated with, Mengshan tea was one of the most goods. Not only Mengshan tea, but also Shu wine, southwest sweet potatoes, the pottery bowl of the dishes on the table, and the slender white rice in the bowl... None of the wine and dishes in the table were redundant, all of them were goods from the southwest caravan. Ye Ningyu did it on purpose. She had known about her own affairs for a long time! Thinking of this, Cui Jingzhong was sweating all over her body. If it weren't for the letter she sent tonight that she wrote to the southwest caravan, Cui Jingzhong said

Nothing would come to the banquet. So, Jiang Ruozhong came to him with those letters, which was actually what Ye Ningyu meant? There was also the mysterious person earlier. He always thought it was Cui Jingzhong, and no matter how bad he was, he was his political enemy in the court. He never associated this matter with a woman. It turned out that it was her, the famous Ye family girl. But it was so early that it was. At that time, the news of Ye Yongchang's death had not been transmitted back to Dadu. Ye Ningyu was just a lady in the capital. Why did she find evidence of his collusion with Southwest vendors? Why did she investigate herself? After thinking about these things, Cui Jingzhong suddenly felt chill. "Miss Ye, what do you want to do?"

In a hurry, Cui Jingzhong no longer called the Lord of Jinwen County. Seeing that Cui Jingzhong was anxious, Ye Ningyu knew that his goal tonight was half achieved. "Cui Xiang was joking. I was just a woman, what could I do? However, I do have some things about Cui Xiang. All the officials in the court said that Cui Xiang was diligent and loyal, and was His Majesty's minister. But they didn't know that Cui Xiang was a good master in handling the government affairs, and this calligraphy was also very good. According to Ye Ningyu's opinion, Cui Xiang's calligraphy can be compared with the Calligraphy Saint."
