Shopkeeper Zhu's ruthless face made Butler Chen even more disgusted with his behavior.

Zhu Laicai is the eldest son of Manager Zhu. Instead of thinking about saving as many people as possible at this time, he actually drags them into the trap. He is really a piece of shit.

Besides, haven’t we severed our relationship?

If you take a bite now, the document of severing the relationship will be signed in vain.

During dinner, Chunzhi ran in excitedly, came close to Yunmeng and whispered something, exclaiming continuously.

"Princess, Zhu Laicai and his mother and son are so unlucky. They have divorced and severed all ties, but they still got implicated."

"It's really unlucky." Yunmeng agreed, thinking that Zhu Laicai was not a little white rabbit, that guy was very treacherous.

He also had a clear understanding of the situation and knew that their family should not have so much money, so he decisively gave up Manager Zhu and broke off the relationship without hesitation.

But the wife of the Left Prime Minister is not someone who is easy to deal with. No matter whether you are related to her or not, if you don’t make up the money, she will be sold anyway.

I guess Zhu Laicai never expected that he would end up being sold out.

Time passed quickly, and two days went by in a blink of an eye. One day, Yunmeng was enjoying the scenery under the pavilion, and Chunzhi came in with Yunying.

Seeing the eldest brother coming, Yun Meng quickly stood up to greet him and asked with a smile: "Why are you here, eldest brother?"

"I came to see you. Why, you are not welcome?" Yunying asked with a smile, looking around and pointing at the pavilion.

"It's hot, why don't we sit under the gazebo and chat."

"Okay, please come in, big brother." Yun Meng turned around and invited the brother and sister back to the pavilion. Yun Meng sent the servants away and asked Chunzhi to stand not far away and watch.

Then he asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Yeah, Dad asked me to come."

Yunying took a sip of the tea, looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then lowered her voice and said:

"Dad has already gotten the Emperor to agree to let him take over the 100,000 troops in the border city. After the surrender, he will immediately lead the army to the northwest to change defense.

It’s just that the emperor was very stingy when it came to food and fodder, and only gave the army rations for the journey.”

"Immediately?" Yun Meng was a little surprised. It seemed that her cheap father's guess was correct. Emperor Yong'an still had a trump card in his hand.

Moreover, he has a big trump card. He doesn't even take the 200,000 Dongqing troops seriously. I hope Emperor Yong'an doesn't get into any trouble.

"Yes, immediately. It seems that the emperor does not want the border troops to stay near the capital." Yunying laughed softly, "I don't know how many immoral things the emperor has done to be so afraid."

"I've done a lot." Yun Meng replied with a smile.

Yunying raised her eyebrows, feeling that her sister knew a lot of inside information.

"What are father's plans regarding food and fodder?" Yun Meng asked.

"Father's idea is to go to the Northwest first. Since the emperor won't give them extra rations, then we'll have to go there and find a solution.

The Western Barbarians will probably take this opportunity to attack the Northwest, so we should get the food and grass from them."

"Ah?" Yunmeng looked at Yunying, "Is this what Dad meant?"

Yunying nodded. This was what his father meant. His father also said that Emperor Yong'an could be ruthless, but they could not be unrighteous.

As for food and fodder, the Western Barbarians not only had to provide food and fodder for the border town army, but also had to prepare food and fodder for the Northwestern Army on the road.

They couldn't let the Northwest Army travel on an empty stomach. Even the God of Hell would not let any of them die of hunger. How could the Yan State have the nerve to let its troops starve?

Yun Meng gave a thumbs up. She originally wanted to find a way to get the food and grass in the space to support her father, but now it seems that she should forget it.

Dad is planning to use war to support war.

Xiyi, oh, you are in trouble.

I guess the Xiyi themselves didn't expect that their food supplies would be targeted before they even launched the attack.

"Father, it won't be smooth sailing. Yu Tong won't agree. The 100,000-man army is the foundation for Yu Tong to gain a foothold in Dongqing."

"Does it matter whether Yu Tong agrees or not?" Yun Ying curled her lips, "Don't forget, those are the soldiers trained by the King of Qi."

"So what?" Yun Meng blinked. Two Kings of Qi had died. So what if they were soldiers trained by them?

“So no matter how dissatisfied they are, they will not really attack the State of Yan. Of course, it is also true that they do not want to protect the State of Yan because they are discouraged.

Otherwise, they would not have abandoned the border town and headed straight for the capital. Their goal from the beginning to the end was not to break into the capital.

They just want justice, justice for their coach and justice for themselves.

The Border Town Army has not been able to make full use of its military power in recent years, and it still owes money to others."

Yunying curled her lips after she finished speaking. Emperor Yong'an was really a piece of shit. The more he looked at her, the less shit he looked.

In the past, the King of Qi used the spoils of war to support his army. He was so poor that he had to eat dirt, but he would never owe his soldiers military pay.

When it came to Emperor Yong'an, no matter whether the Ministry of Revenue had money or not, the soldiers' military exercises were never issued.

Tell me, who would dare to follow such an emperor to conquer the world?

"Then who will pay the debts owed if my father takes over the army?" Yunmeng asked.

"Of course the emperor will pay. This is the condition that father and the emperor have agreed on. The Ministry of Revenue wants to delay it, so father will report it directly to the Ministry of Revenue in the palace."

Yunying smiled proudly when she said this, "The Minister of Revenue turned green in the face and quietly surrendered to my father.

The Minister of Revenue reached an agreement with my father in private that as long as the emperor nodded, the Ministry of Revenue would give him as much as he wanted, and he only asked my father not to report him.

He’s afraid!”

"The Minister of Revenue is not clean?" Yun Meng asked with a smile. After asking, she felt that she had asked unnecessary questions. Sure enough, Yun Ying's words proved that her question was unnecessary.

"How many of the officials nowadays are clean?"

Yunying's words were the most telling, "If it was corruption in the past, it's fine. As long as the emperor doesn't really care about it, it's not a big deal.

But things are different now. I heard that the emperor's private vault was emptied.

The emperor is now like a red-eyed chicken. He wants to raid the house of anyone who makes a mistake and move all the property into his private vault."

Yun Meng touched her nose guiltily. Could she say that she was the one who emptied the emperor's private vault?

It’s true, there are quite a lot of good things in the emperor’s private storehouse. I heard that most of them were confiscated during house searches.

Emperor Yong'an was addicted to robbing. He was poor, so he robbed other people's homes.

"After my father leaves, I will report to the Ministry of Rites and serve as the Minister of Rites." Yunying straightened her clothes.

"This is the emperor's compensation to me, and also his control over me. I only have the title of assistant minister, but I don't have much real power."

"That's true. Where is the former Minister of Rites?" Yunmeng asked.

"He was promoted. The former Minister of Rites was promoted to Minister of Rites. The former Minister of Rites had his property confiscated."

Yunying lowered her voice and said, "I heard that it was Queen Wei's group that did it. Did the Minister of Rites offend them?"

"Well, the Minister of Rites played tricks on Queen Wei's coronation ceremony, making the celebration look shabby. Now, the Queen is holding him accountable."

Yunmeng knew that Yunying and the others had been back for a short time and that they didn't know all the news, so she told Yunying everything.
