Lin Dechang smiled and nodded, saying, "That's exactly the man. Lord Zheng is very knowledgeable and must know everything about the Ming Dynasty."
"This Lord Zhang is no ordinary person. He is not only a close confidant of the Ming Emperor, but also the most highly regarded official among the younger generation of the Ming Emperor."
"Although Prince Fu is ostensibly in charge of our visit to Korea, we all know that the real boss is this Lord Zhang. As long as we can convince him, there will be no problem."
Zheng Xuhong nodded.
He knew that what Lin Dechang said was true. These people knew the Ming Dynasty very well.
The people who had the final say in the Ming Dynasty were the civil servants, and in the past two years, a General Staff Office had been established. Although Prince Fu was of noble status, he did not necessarily have the final say in matters.
"But there's another thing going on here." Zheng Xuhong raised her head, looked at Lin Dechang, and asked, "What are your thoughts on this? It might not be easy to convince Lord Zhang."
"It's actually quite simple," Lin Dechang said with a smile. "We don't need to put too much effort into this Mr. Zhang. The Ming Dynasty has many merchants in Korea, and they are backed by Ming Dynasty officials, many of whom are high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. Letting them speak will be more effective than us."
"They also have a great influence on Mr. Zhang, so it won't be difficult for them to convince him. As long as we offer enough benefits, those businessmen will definitely be willing to work for us."
Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "A few benefits are not a big deal. For North Korea, we can get this done."
Li Feng said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a far-sighted vision and is truly a role model for Korean officials!"
Lin Dechang sneered in his heart.
That's not what you said when you were scolding Kim Jong-min and the others just now. Now that it's your turn, your reasons are completely different. You talk so high and mighty, but in reality, you're doing the same thing?
Lin Dechang thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He looked at Zheng Xuhong with a smile on his face, and said to Li Feng: "Mr. Li is right. Mr. Zheng is the conscience of North Korea."
Zheng Xuhong stroked his beard and waved his hand, saying, "For North Korea, I am willing to devote my life to it, even to my death. These things are naturally nothing."
After saying that, Zheng Xuhong turned to look at Lin Dechang and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry, Lord Zheng. I helped Park Jung-yang with his business before, and it was during that process that I came into contact with Lord Fenglin and found out what they were doing."
"But knowing what they were doing, as a North Korean, how could I possibly be complicit in their actions?"
"So I joined Prince Fenglin, and I didn't abandon my connections in Ming. After Park Zhengyang died, we spent more time together. Those people only care about profit. Give them money and they'll do anything."
Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll trouble you, Mr. Li, with this matter. As long as we do this well, we can turn the tide."
"Sir Zheng, just wait for my good news!" Lin Dechang said with a smile.
Lin Dechang left with a confident look on his face.
After the people left, Zheng Xuhong's expression became more serious. She turned to look at Li Feng and asked, "Do you think what he said is true?"
"Part of it is true." Li Feng smiled, stroking his beard.
"That's what I think." Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "But I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter, but I can't put my finger on it."
"Maybe this Lin Dechang is a little weird." Li Feng said with a frown.
"Yes, he's a little weird." Zheng Xuhong clapped her hands and said, "According to what he said, he used to follow Park Jung-yang, so he should be Kim Jung-min's man. But now he has run to Prince Fenglin's side and has won his trust. This matter is very strange, there is something wrong."
Li Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Is it possible that he is the person that Prince Fenglin buried next to Park Zhengyang?"
"Yes, that's right!" Zheng Xuhong said excitedly, "If that's the case, then everything can be explained. Kim Jong-min and the others weren't the murderers of Park Jung-yang at all. This Lin Dechang is probably the one who murdered him."
Zheng Xuhong didn't say the rest of the sentence, but the meaning was already very clear: the real murderer was not this Lin Dechang, but Lord Fenglin.
Prince Fenglin attacked Park Jung-yang, and then framed Zhang Fu, and instigated a fight between the two factions.
After the two factions started fighting, Prince Fenglin was able to play both sides. However, for some unknown reason, they must have fallen out with Kim Jong-min. Now they chose their side in order to gain their support.
Zheng Xuhong looked at Li Feng and asked, "Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Li Feng also looked at Zheng Xuhong and said with a wry smile, "Sir, I'm afraid there is no other choice now, right?"
After hearing this, Zheng Xuhong fell silent.
Indeed, there is no good choice for myself.
If Kim Jong-min and his men succeed, I will be finished and might end up following Zhang Fu's same path.
It is at this time that I will grasp the last straw.
"My lord, think about it. You are in a precarious situation right now. Aside from Lord Fenglin, I'm afraid no one can help you." Li Feng said helplessly, "We don't have much choice. No matter what the truth is, we have come this far and there is no turning back."
"If it succeeds, the benefits will be self-evident; if it fails, I'm afraid your fate won't be any worse."
