The originally extremely lively teahouse became empty in an instant, just like Zheng Shichang standing aside and sweating profusely, and he felt like he didn't know what to do.

His father was so humble to this man who looked much younger than him. In his impression, it was completely unimaginable that he had seen many officials from teahouses. Who would not nod and bow when he saw his father?

Like today, my father could only stand there and talk to others, which was completely beyond Zheng Shichang's imagination.

Xie Daoqing's big watery eyes were rumbling around everyone. Zheng Shichang was uneasy and nervous, and naturally she was able to see him. Similarly, it was the first time she had truly seen the huge pressure that an official brought to others after he reached the extreme.

During the Yipinlou period, although Ye Qing was so scared that Deng Youlong, the Minister of Justice, trembled with his legs, in Xie Daoqing's heart that time, Ye Qing left her the image of a kind father and kind man holding a baby, which was completely incomparable to the scene in the teahouse today.

What's more, whether it was her grandfather or her father, because Zheng Shichang liked her, she had had many dealings with Zheng Qingzhi about marriage. So in her impression, Zheng Qingzhi's minister of the Ministry of Revenue was much older than his grandfather who had not served as the Lin'an pacification envoy at that time, and the father of the Jiaxing Tongzhe was much bigger than that of his grandfather who had not served as the Lin'an pacification envoy, which was enough to shock her and look up to her.

But when they saw Ye Qing today, they couldn't even get a seat, especially Zheng Qingzhi, who was still standing next to Ye Qing, and didn't even dare to sit down.

Of course, Xie Daoqing obviously didn't know that Zheng Qing was afraid of Ye Qing not because of Ye Qing's dispatch, but because of Ye Qing's power, ruthless and cunning methods.

He was even more afraid that his son Zheng Shichang would cause trouble because he offended Ye Qing.

He is one of the few officials in the court who knows Ye Qing's power and means. He has been with Shi Miyuan for many years. Ye Qing has bowed to others whether in the north or in the court? Even Emperor Gaozong, to put a bad word, was it finally broken into Ye Qing's hands?

And his son who is powerless...even if he adds himself, how can he be his opponent?

The most relaxing ones present may be Xie Daoqing and Qingqiu. Xie Daoqing was light and had an attitude of watching the show. Qingqiu finally found Ye Qing. No matter what, as long as he dragged Ye Qing to Xingyuan, he could escape the disaster.

As for Zhu Shijie and his wife Xu, who were also sitting, they were probably the two people who were the most nervous, except for Zheng and his son. They felt like they were sitting in pins and needles for a while. They were really not as embarrassed as they were sitting or standing.

"There are rumors in the market that there is a place called Hongchu Teahouse, which can be said to be the minor official department of my Song Dynasty. Today, Ye saw it with his own eyes. It is indeed worthy of its reputation. Among the tea guests who were sitting just now, there must be at least eight or nine officials of my Song Dynasty, right?" Ye Qing had no longer had the scruples he had towards Zheng Shichang at this time. Although he was talking to Zheng Qingzhi, his eyes were always looking at Qingqiu.

How could Zheng Qingzhi not know what Ye Qing said this? He was not to say it to himself, but to Qingqiu on the side.

"If the rumors can be taken seriously, then wouldn't Zheng Shangshu have been dismissed by the court for eight years? Ye Qing, but the purpose of your coming here today was something Shi unexpected." The answer to Ye Qing's words was an obese figure at the stairs.

Shi Miyuan could almost block the stairs alone, making it impossible for others to pass by him. He followed two servants and slowly walked down the stairs.

"All things in the world are written. Even if Ye said that it was a coincidence today, you would not believe it. But since I was hit by me today, I have to tell the Censorate that it is. Of course, the Imperial City Office was sent by Emperor Gaozong to the time of the year: soldiers who investigated the matter were spread all over the capital. A little famine discussion was made, and he was arrested and punished, and he was deeply involved in the deep writing. What's more, what Ye saw with his own eyes today, more than ten imperial officials gathered in a teahouse. Who knows if it would be a gathering of people to rebel?" Ye Qing was still sitting there, looking at Shi Miyuan who was walking by staggeringly.

Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly gave up the place, but Zhu Shijie obviously could not continue to sit at this time. As Ye Qing raised his hand slightly, the two of them immediately stood up and walked to Ye Qing to stand aside, while Shi Miyuan sat down opposite Ye Qing.

His eyes first looked at Ye Qing, then slowly moved to the side, and Xie Daoqing, who was also sitting next to Ye Qing.

"Impulse Shi's rebellion? Shi's not so arrogant that he dared to deal with the crime of treason. However, Lord Ye made arbitrary decision in the north, and the court had no control over the north. According to Shi, if the words were said, I believe the people would believe that you, Ye Qing, were to rebel, rather than me, Shi Miyuan." Shi Miyuan was not very worried that Ye Qing was really impeached in the court, but what was worried was that Ye Qing would use what he saw and heard today to make trouble in Lin'an, and he would definitely be involved in that time.

"Why don't we try?" Ye Qing smiled secretly, but gave Shi Miyuan a feeling that after returning to Lin'an, facing the current chaos, he planned to break the can and give up.

"No." Shi Miyuan shook his head decisively and refused. His eyes swept over Qingqiu, Zheng Qingzhi's father and son, Zhu Shijie and his wife, then waved his hand and said to Qingqiu: "Zhonggui, Shi wants to be alone with Lord Ye..."

"I am waiting at the door to wait for Lord Ye." Qingqiu said hurriedly.

"Why have to wait at the door? Since I have paid the money today, I can drink the tea from this teahouse at will. Zheng Qingzhi, why don't you prepare the best room for him? By the way, you two will follow you, and you are there." Ye Qing pointed at Zhu Shijie and his wife, and then pointed at Xie Daoqing and said.

Shi Miyuan ignored Ye Qing's dispatch of Qingqiu. After all, Qingqiu has another identity, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, so today, he will naturally be sent by others in front of the commander.

Zheng Qingzhi's father and son, Zhu Shijie and his wife, and Qingqiu left. There was also a Xie Daoqing who was chaotic and unwilling to leave.

Xie Daoqing obviously did not expect that in this short time today, he not only met Ye Qing again, but also saw Zheng Qingzhi, who was a minister of the court, but also met another big man in the court, Shi Miyuan.

But she never expected that Shi Miyuan was such a fat man with a flushed face. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like an official, but more like a lustful businessman, a greedy and lustful businessman, or a foreigner.

The reason why she was unwilling to leave was entirely because she was afraid that Ye Qing would run away, and then the matter of saving her father was gone.

So no matter how Ye Qing stared at her, she always kept her innocent big eyes open, and treated it as if it was nothing, and was not afraid of Ye Qing at all.

Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, thinking about how to speak next and what chips they had in their hands. After just going upstairs, Zheng Qingzhi, who had settled in Qingqiu in a unique private room, suddenly turned ashen when he walked to another room.

Without waiting for Zheng Shichang, who was still scared, to speak, Zheng Qingzhi slapped Zheng Shichang's face. Looking at half of his cheeks that had become red and swollen in an instant, Zheng Qingzhi's face was still ashen and said in a low voice: "Bastard, how can you mess with Ye Qing? You don't want your life, right?"

"Dad..." Zheng Shichang didn't expect that his father was so hard to do. For a moment, Venus appeared in front of him, and there was a buzzing tinnitus in his ears. He said timidly: "Dad, kid... kid doesn't know him... he is him. When kid went downstairs, he saw Qing'er's sister crying, so he thought he was bullying Qing'er's sister, so he couldn't help but say a few words, kid didn't..."

"Let's argue again!" Zheng Qingzhi heard that Zheng Shichang was going to offend Ye Qing because of Xie Daoqing. He opened his arms and acted to beat him again, but looking at the cheeks that were already swollen in the blink of an eye, he finally put down his hand angrily: "Then Xie Daoqing cried because her father was arrested and the Ministry of Justice... Forget it, these are all matters in the court, and I can't explain them clearly to you. In short, you remember that even here, don't be too arrogant. And... don't worry about the girl from the Xie family..."

"Dad..." Looking at Zheng Qingzhi who turned his head and was about to leave, Zheng Shichang shouted hurriedly, and then asked timidly after Zheng Qingzhi turned his head, "Baby...I really like Qing'er..."

"Enough! My father said it wouldn't work, it wouldn't work. Now it's not as good as before... The Xie family is now in trouble. What's the benefit of marrying that girl to you?" Zheng Qingzhi wanted to say something but stopped. If he had said that before, he would still be willing to go to the Xie family to mention this marriage.

But now, Xie Qubo, the eldest son of the Xie family, has been arrested and then disappeared inexplicably. All these signs indicate that Han Tuozhou must be retaliating.

And if I still want to marry the Xie family at this time, I am afraid that even Shi Miyuan would not let him go, let alone Han Tuozhou.

After all, on the night after Xie Qubo was arrested and imprisoned, Shi Miyuan sent Lou Yu, the Minister of Personnel, to win over, but Xie Shenfu actually refused Shi Miyuan's win over on the spot.

Today, the little girl appeared here with Ye Qing, so if nothing unexpected happens, Xie Shenfu must have surrendered to the Ye Party early, so he refused Shi Miyuan's appeal. From this point of view, it is even very likely that Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang were secretly taken away by Ye Qing from the Ministry of Justice.

Zheng Qingzhi was thinking about the various possibilities of Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing appearing together. At the teahouse downstairs, Shi Miyuan was also testing Ye Qing with words. Ye Qing neither denies nor admits it.

You two guessed that I thought about your words and words, which made Xie Daoqing, who was unwilling to leave, was confused in her mind. Although she understood every sentence, she didn't know what each sentence meant.

The two of them were completely speeches that looked like family matters, not as she imagined. The two powerful ministers were talking about the kind of serious and important dialogue that even had an impact on the country.

Shi Miyuan smiled like a Maitreya Buddha holding a teacup, while Ye Qing leaned against the back of the chair, and was also leisurely and at ease. In Xie Daoqing's eyes, the two of them looked like an old friend reminiscing about the past.

"Let me do this, I can ignore Lord Ye's affairs, nor will I touch them. No matter what kind of storm caused in Lin'an, Shi will not interfere. What?" Shi Miyuan held the teacup and finally began to open the skylight and say something bright.

"You are the only one who is safe in chaos? Lord Shi doesn't look like this. After so many years, in every chaos, there is no shadow of Lord Shi hiding in the dark? You, Shi Miyuan, have always been the best at reaping the benefits of a fisherman. Now, in chaos, Lord Shi says you want to safeguard yourself. Even if Ye is bold, he can't believe your promise." Ye Qing smiled and shook his head. What he wanted to do was to force Shi Miyuan from the dark to the open.

In this way, he could focus on the Hongmen Banquet set up by the Supreme Emperor for him. If Shi Miyuan was kept in the dark, it would be like an invisible knife at the same time, ready to stab him in his heart at any time.

Shi Miyuan's gaze turned to Xie Daoqing aside, and then said secretly: "I believe Lord Ye also knows what happened that night. If Lord Ye lets go of this, Shi promises not to..."

"Then why can't you just be more thorough? You know, in this way, Shi Miyuan has lost one opponent in the court, and the position you have always coveted is within your control." The smile in Ye Qing's eyes gradually disappeared, and a faint murderous aura emanated from his body.

The gloomy and sharp aura shocked Xie Daoqing next to her. He was still the same person, but the uncle in her mouth was like... like a real hero.

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face also disappeared, his expression became equally solemn, and even with a deep feeling: "What do you mean?"

"What does it mean? Of course it is what you think. Or... you Shi Miyuan dare not, don't have that courage?" Ye Qing's calm smile at the corner of his mouth looked like a knife at this moment, even a little sharp.

"Then... I wonder what Lord Ye is planning?" Shi Miyuan leaned forward slightly and asked.

"If you ask what the above means, don't you know?" Ye Qing looked up at the top of his head and continued, "Since he took the lead, the above person... isn't he really going to be indifferent?"

"Do you think this will solve your Ye Qing's dilemma? It's good to be in troubled water, but Ye Qing, don't forget, you don't understand Lin'an..."

"That's why I'm looking for you, otherwise I'd demolished this broken teahouse long ago." Ye Qing looked at the teahouse, then stood up and said, "Master Shi might as well think about it. If you want, it's the best. If you don't want it, then... will there be a complete egg when you collapse the nest? His ambition for the North is just like the ambition for today's court. Who would have thought that at such an age, he would have to be ambitions and have to be careful."

Shi Miyuan looked solemn. She sat there motionlessly looking at Ye Qing who was getting up. She subconsciously turned the teacup in her hand. Xie Daoqing, who was beside her, naturally did not dare to disturb her. After seeing Ye Qing get up, she hurriedly stood up quietly. For some reason, she felt confused just now, but now she felt the cool breeze, as if a knife was flying around.

"What is Lord Ye's purpose?" Shi Miyuan asked after pondering for a long time.

"Northern." Ye Qing said simply.

"In this way, Lord Ye doesn't plan to get a share of Lin'an?" Shi Miyuan confirmed.

"From now on, I hope you and I will not interfere with the rivers, and as before, the promotion of officials from the north will be submitted and you will be approved." Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's eyes and said seriously.

As the saying goes, retreating is advancing. In today's situation, Ye Qing doesn't know whether he can escape safely this time. So for him, it is the top priority to keep the Northland cohesion as much as possible while making concessions and solving problems that cannot be solved in the Northland. And he has to do well, the Northland has not prepared for him for a period of time.

"Shi needs to think about it carefully, I won't give it away." Shi Miyuan took a deep breath and said deeply.
