Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 183 The Cui Family

"It depends on what the Cui family does."

"The Cui family has no intention of seeking the throne, but it must not decline."

Yiman sneered, "Master Cui's words are really contradictory. I think the first half of Master Cui's sentence is true, so how does Master Cui identify decline?"

Cui Yingfeng was originally just trying, but now his expression became more serious.

Not only are the secret guards around this princess strong, but she herself is so sure of victory.

Not only does he have a thorough understanding of current affairs, but he also kicked the ball back softly or hard after just a trial.

Such a big heart is probably not comparable to that of ordinary men.

It seems that starting with the eldest princess is the right choice.

"Retreat to Dongzhou and settle down in a corner."

"Then Mr. Cui thinks that the couch at the Emperor's feet will allow others to sleep soundly?"

"If the emperor trusts each other in the future, there will definitely be a solution to both problems."

Yiman stood up and walked to the middle of the flower hall, with his back to Cui Yingfeng, "I heard that merchants have to come and go when doing business. As long as they keep their respective bottom lines, you can take one step back and I can take one step back. Since Mr. Cui is bullying I am young and can only play, so why waste my time?"

"The eldest princess is right, but can the eldest princess represent both parties?"

Yiman smiled lightly and shook his head, "Since Mr. Cui thinks that I can't accomplish anything, why come to me? I'll take my leave."

"Princess, wait a minute——"

Yiman turned around and said, "Master Cui, is there anything else?"

"I don't know the princess's request yet."

Seeing that Cui Yingfeng was willing to continue talking with her, Yiman returned to the main seat and sat down.

"It is inevitable that the Cui family will return to Dongzhou in the future. There will be no negotiation." Seeing Cui Yingfeng narrow his eyes, Yiman sneered, "But other things can be discussed."

Once an aristocratic family returns to their ancestral homeland, they will be far away from the center of power.Even if the descendants strive to succeed and form the power of vassal kings in the local area, the court still has many ways to disintegrate the family through continuous suppression.

But judging by the look on the eldest princess's face, retreating to Dongzhou was her bottom line.

Since the bottom line is irreconcilable, there is no need to talk further.

"Congratulations to the princess."

Seeing that he dared her to leave, Yiman sneered, got up and walked to the flower hall, turned his back to Cui Yingfeng, and spoke loudly.

"Officials are not allowed to keep secret guards privately. The secret guards brought by Master Cui will be executed on the spot."

"you--"

After saying this, without waiting for Cui Yingfeng's reply, Yiman walked out of the flower hall.

Then, three black-clothed corpses rolled down from the roof along with the tiles.

Only 100 meters out of the flower hall, Princess Rongyu came up to her with her maid, and took Yiman's hands with a nervous expression.

"Is the princess okay?"

Yiman shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, I just killed Cui Yingfeng's bodyguard, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the Zhou family."

Princess Rongyu patted Yiman's hand, "What does this mean? Can the Zhou family still be afraid of the Cui family? If the Zhou family and the Cui family fight, it will save you trouble."

He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Princess Rongyu to see so clearly. She lowered her eyes and smiled.

"Besides, it wasn't the eldest princess's secret guards who killed her in the first place. They were just afraid that the old man Cui Yingfeng would blame the eldest princess."

Yiman followed the color of Princess Rongyu and saw Zhou Yu standing in front of Zhou Shilang with lowered eyes, the hem of his white clothes stained with blood.

Zhou Shilang was holding his hands behind his back, with an exaggerated expression, and he looked like he was lecturing someone.

"Princess, please follow me to the small hall in the backyard and wait. Zhou Yu will go there after changing her clothes."

Yiman looked away and cleared his throat, "Actually, I'm just here to see the princess."

Princess Rongyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the small hall."

Not long after, Zhou Yu hurried to the small hall in the backyard.

Seeing Zhou Yu's eyes lowered and his expression unclear, Yiman cleared his throat and asked, "Is Cui Yingfeng gone?"

Zhou Yu nodded and sat next to him.

"I'm safe——"

"You hurt-"

The two of them spoke at the same time. Yiman covered half of his face with his palms and took a deep breath, "Zhou Yu, I was used to being alone before. Since, since you promised to do my facial hair, I will take you into consideration in my future actions. Are you still angry?"

<divclass="contentadv">The frost and snow melted, and Zhou Yu's eyes were full of hot springs, "Don't be angry. I want to put more secret guards around you in the future, okay?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "Okay."

When he started talking, he felt awkward.Yiman was not used to being close to others, and now he just wanted to run away.

Suddenly, Yiman's hand was held. Zhou Yu walked up to Yiman and held Yiman's hand.

"Mom just said that lunch is ready. How about eating together?"

In the prince's palace, he calmly took the last cake from the prince's hand.

The prince smiled helplessly: "Su Xue will make more in the future. I only ate one piece."

Yiman curled his lips and said, "Brother Huang, I think the Cui family can move."

The prince's eyes were solemn, "What should I say?"

"Zhi Ge didn't tell you?"

Zhi Ge was originally from the prince. When she met Cui Yingfeng, Yiman even reported to Zhi Ge.

"Since Zhige has followed you, he is your secret guard. I have already made it clear to him."

Yiman smiled and stuffed the last bite of pastry into his mouth.

"When I went to Zhou's house, I met Cui Yingfeng."

The prince's expression was serious, "Did he scare you?"

Yiman pouted, "Even the scene of the groom's case didn't scare me, let alone an old man. I even asked the secret guards to kill all three of his secret guards."

"You."

Yiman smiled, "So I think that although it cannot be ruled out that the Cui family did not have the intention to cause trouble, they definitely wanted to solve the problem peacefully. But the old man was too cunning at the time, so I didn't ask anything.

But I think we can try to test Cui Yingfeng's attitude by catching Cui Lang.But the premise is to mobilize troops around the capital to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

"Except for the jade plaque, there is no other evidence."

"Isn't it easy to find evidence? Anyway, we have the beginning and end of the case in our hands."

The prince raised his forehead and shook his head, "Yi Man, we can no longer fabricate evidence. We must have solid basis for our actions, otherwise we will lose trust sooner or later."

Yiman sighed, "I understand. As long as Cui Lang is caught, won't there be evidence for the first trial?"

The prince sighed, "Mounting troops from the capital is no small matter and must go through my father."

"If we go through the emperor, this matter cannot be done."

"Do you still want to mobilize troops privately?"

With a sly smile, "If you can't mobilize troops, you can just learn the empty city strategy."

Early the next morning, the door of Cui Mansion was severely beaten.

The concierge was annoyed and puzzled. There were still people who dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Cui Mansion. Even if they had the courage to do so, they would not dare to do so.

When he opened the door, he found that it was an official of Qing Yishui from Dali Temple, but he didn't take it seriously at the moment.

"What's going on? So early in the morning?"

The official of Dali Temple took out an official notice and said, "According to the order of Dali Temple, there will be no delay in arresting Cui Lang, the culprit in the case of the kidnapped woman and the murder of the groom."

When the concierges who came over heard this, they burst into laughter.

"You, the Minister of Dali Temple, are not as old as our family's head official. Are you out of your mind?"

"As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, I am on the same level as you, do you understand?"

"Are you afraid that you ate too much this morning and your brain got choked up?"

The Dali Temple official raised his hand and said, "Capture Cui Lang. Anyone who resists will be punished for disobedience."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people wearing Dali Temple uniforms at the gate rushed into Cui Mansion.

Several concierges had sharp knives pointed at their throats before they shivered and became truly frightened.

The curtains were lowered on the carriage that was wandering the street.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward. Those officials in Dali Temple don't have the courage to go straight to Cui Mansion. These are just dead soldiers who take orders from the world.
