In a quiet room in Fengzhou Zhizhou Prefecture.

Murong Yuliang and Cui Dakai were playing silently around a Go board.

Murong Yuliang is holding the white chess piece, and Cui Dakai is holding the black chess piece. The offensive on the chessboard is fierce and has become like a dragon. It seems that he has the attitude of swallowing up mountains and rivers. However, Cui Dakai, who is in charge of the black chess piece, has his eyes locked tightly. Every move he makes

There was a moment of thought.

Murong Yuliang, who holds the white chess piece in his hand, seems to be on the defensive, but his expression is calm and his moves are flying. Every move is just right and natural!

Cui Dakai, who had fallen into Murong Yuliang's rhythm, attacked seven or eight times in succession, but was firmly defended by Murong Yuliang. He could only watch as the white chess moved towards his eye position step by step.

Pressing hard, but I am powerless...

"well·········"

Cui Dakai shook his head slightly. Knowing that he was bound to lose, Cui Dakai did not make a desperate struggle and directly chose to admit defeat. He raised his hands to Murong Yuliang and said:

"I have long heard that Lord Murong is very good at chess, and today I saw that he is indeed well-deserved!"

In response to Cui Dakai's praise, Murong Yuliang smiled slightly and said: "There is heaven and earth, and there are people outside the world. Brother Cui is so grateful!"

Hearing Murong Yuliang call him "Brother Cui", even though he knew that the other party was doing it for the sake of the Cui family, Cui Dakai was still a little happy...

Although Cui Dakai holds an important position in the Cui family and has great power in the family, he has not pursued an official career after all. In terms of status, he is a commoner!

Although Murong Yuliang was demoted, he was still a fifth-rank magistrate, not to mention that he came from the Murong family, the top family in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

In terms of status, the gap between the two people is really not that small. To say they are one level apart is to praise Cui Dakai.

If there is anyone in the entire Cui family who can be on an equal footing with Murong Yuliang, then it is probably Cui Shao, the fourth-rank Liaoyang Inspector!

Therefore, Murong Yuliang's words "Brother Cui" can be said to have been handed over at all costs...

Cui Dakai and Murong Yuliang, who were in a very comfortable mood, discussed chess skills for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Cui Dakai was indeed not as good at cultivating qi as Murong Yuliang and could keep his calm, so he finally couldn't help but say:

"Master Murong, our Cui family will fully support you this time!"

"oh?"

Murong Yuliang was a little confused when he heard this. Although he got the Cui family as a bargaining chip against Ye Mingsheng on the condition of helping the Cui family enter the court, to be honest, he didn't expect much from the Cui family.

After all, according to what he learned, Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family were related, and Ye Mingsheng personally helped the Cui family by pulling out the poisonous thorn that Song Wenhui had planted in the heart of the Cui family.

So Murong Yuliang originally thought that the relationship between the Cui family and Ye Mingsheng would be very close, but judging from Cui Kai's words now, maybe there is something hidden between the Cui family and Ye Mingsheng...

····

Seeing that Murong Yuliang seemed a little unconvinced, Cui Dakai continued:

"Mr. Murong, you don't know something. Although Ye Mingsheng is the only son of my seventh sister, he is an ambitious wolf cub. Last time at our ancestor's birthday banquet, he just wanted to sow discord between our Cui family and

The relationship between the governors of the Song Dynasty.

"What's going on in Fengzhou now? The policies of allocating land to immigrants and tax exemptions have made the tenants eager to take action, and they no longer work honestly. They spend all day thinking about how to get to Fengzhou. Just us.

Hundreds of young and strong laborers from the Cui family came to Fengzhou, do you think Ye Mingsheng is hateful?"

Hearing Cui Dakai explain clearly the cause and effect, a flash of understanding flashed in Murong Yuliang's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"What did Master Cui Shao Cui say?"

Facing Murong Yuliang's question, Cui Dakai hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly:

"My third brother didn't say anything..."

Murong Yuliang looked a little disappointed with this answer. Just when he was about to continue saying something, one of his trusted servants, Wang Tao, ran over in a panic. He originally wanted to say something directly to Murong Yuliang.

What, but when he saw Cui Dakai sitting here, a flash of hesitation flashed across his face, and his mouth was open but no sound came out.

Seeing Wang Tao like this, Murong Yuliang frowned and said:

"Brother Cui is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

With Murong Yuliang's permission, Wang Tao dared to speak:

"Report to the master, Butler Zheng, he has been arrested!"

"What?"

When Wang Tao said this, not only Cui Dakai was in disbelief, but even Murong Yuliang, who had always remained calm, looked surprised.

"Butler Zheng has been kidnapped!" Hearing his master's rhetorical question, Wang Tao repeated what he just said with absolute certainty.

"When did this happen?"

I have to say that this Murong Yuliang was indeed a high-ranking official who had served as a Hanlin scholar. He quickly reacted and began to ask about the situation. Cui Dakai, who was sitting opposite him, had not recovered from the shock until now.

"Half an hour ago, Butler Zheng went out to do some errands. He never thought that he would be caught by a group of people until someone sent a message just now..." Wang Tao 15

Ten said:

"What was he going to do, and where was he arrested?" Wang Tao talked about this for a long time, but couldn't get to the point. Murong Yuliang asked directly:

"Butler Zheng, he's going..."

Upon hearing his master's question, Wang Tao showed a trace of hesitation on his face, as if he knew the answer but did not dare to say it.

"Don't hesitate, speak quickly!" Murong Yuliang said in a cold voice:

Seeing the always gentle and gentle man, he started to get angry. This Wang Tao also knew how powerful he was. He gritted his teeth and finally plucked up the courage to speak:

"Butler Zheng went to Manchun Courtyard!"

Although Murong Yuliang was focused on his official career and wanted to fulfill his father's last wish, and he didn't know much about the romance, but when he heard the name Manchun Yuan, he naturally understood what kind of place it was and what Zheng Xu was doing in such a place.

Got it!

"boom!"

The livid-faced Murong Yuliang was so angry that he slapped the table hard, causing the tea on the table to splash everywhere.

Perhaps realizing that Cui Dakai was nearby, in order to prevent him from seeing the joke, Murong Yuliang quickly adjusted his emotions and asked Wang Tao again:

"Do you know who kidnapped Zheng Xu?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard that the three or five people on the other side were all practicing practitioners. They seemed to be heading for Butler Zheng. Their hands and feet were very quick. They caught Butler Zheng directly and then put sacks on them.

After kidnapping the butler, the whole process only lasted for a cup of tea."

"When he was kidnapped, Butler Zheng kept saying that he was the steward of Zhizhou Prefecture, but those people didn't listen at all..." Wang Tao continued:

"This bandit from Fengzhou is so rampant? How dare he enter the city and kidnap the chief steward of Zhizhou Mansion?" Cui Dakai said indignantly after Wang Tao finished speaking.

After saying that, Cui Dakai patted his chest towards Murong Yuliang and said very confidently:

"Mr. Murong, please rest assured that when I see Ye Mingsheng, I will immediately ask him to go out of the city to suppress the bandits, and I will definitely rescue Butler Zheng for you!"

When Murong Yuliang heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head...

Upon seeing this, Cui Dakai thought that Murong Yuliang didn't believe what he said, and continued:

"Master Murong, although this Ye Mingsheng is ambitious, he is still capable of fighting. Even the wolf-like Khitan people were beaten away by him, including a few bandits!"

Seeing Cui Dakai's confident posture, Murong Yuliang finally couldn't help but said:

"Brother Cui, after Ye Mingsheng came to Fengzhou, all the bandits and gangsters in Fengzhou were wiped out. In terms of public security, Fengzhou today is probably even better than the provincial government in Dongning!"

"Forehead··········"

His opinion was mercilessly rejected by Murong Yuliang. Cui Dakai was also a little embarrassed. In order to relieve his embarrassment, he said again:

"Since he is not a bandit, then who dares to kidnap Butler Zheng?"

Murong Yuliang sighed and said quietly:

"Who else dares to do such a thing in Fengzhou City?"

After he finished speaking, Murong Yuliang looked at Cui Dakai. Although Cui Dakai reacted a little slowly, he was not particularly stupid. Feeling Murong Yuliang's eyes, he also understood who Murong Yuliang was talking about, and his eyes widened immediately.

He said in disbelief:

"How can it be?"

"How dare he do this?"

Looking at Cui Dakai's expression, Murong Yuliang, who was also very angry, said in a deep voice:

"Brother Cui, what you should say is, is there anything in Fengzhou that Ye Mingsheng and General Ye Da do not dare to do?"

"this···········"

Hearing Murong Yuliang say this, Cui Dakai suddenly realized that Ye Mingsheng, this wolf cub, was more terrifying than he imagined!

Thinking about what happened at the city gate today, Cui Dakai hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Murong Yuliang frankly.

After listening to Cui Dakai's explanation of the matter, Murong Yuliang was so angry that his vision went dark and he almost lost his temper. During his stay in Fengzhou, he had always been cautious, for fear of giving Ye Mingsheng his territory.

Available handles.

Unexpectedly, these two idiots took the initiative to give the handle to Ye Mingsheng!

Looking at Cui Dakai who looked innocent, if he didn't want to use the power of the Cui family to deal with Ye Mingsheng, Murong Yuliang really wanted to spit in his face and curse again

"There is nothing more than a plan!"
