Chapter 225 Cui Yingyu, are you worthy?
Upon hearing that, Ye Mingsheng looked up and saw an old man with gray hair, a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance, who was also leaning on a cane. The old man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he looked like a monkey wearing a human costume!

Seeing Ye Mingsheng looking over, Cui Yingyu was undoubtedly even more smug. He looked at Ye Mingsheng and loudly lectured him:

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't Cui Yun teach you etiquette?"

Cui Yingyu's words attracted the attention of many people in the inner hall, focusing them all on Cui Yingyu and Ye Mingsheng.

These young men from aristocratic families, who had long been unhappy with Ye Mingsheng's appointment to a fifth-rank high position despite his humble background, were all gloating over Ye Mingsheng's misfortune, expecting Ye Mingsheng to kowtow to Cui Yingyu when he took advantage of his seniority...

Facing Cui Yingyu's active provocation, Ye Mingsheng did not feel any anger. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly:
"It seems that you are the governor of Liaoyang Governor's Office in the third year of Emperor Jingdi's Longtai reign."

"Is it Cui Yingyu who served as the magistrate of Sanhe County in the eleventh year of Longtai and imposed heavy taxes on the people and caused the Luobei people to abandon the city and flee?"

"you············"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng actually revealed his dirty deeds from the past in public, Cui Yingyu's old face suddenly showed panic. Caught off guard, he could only point at Ye Mingsheng with trembling hands, but could not utter a word.

Cui Yingyu never expected that Ye Mingsheng, who had just returned to Liaoyang, actually knew these past events that had been forgotten for many years!

"Yes, in terms of seniority, you, Cui Yingyu, are indeed my elder. If it were normal, I would naturally respect you!"

"But my mother taught me from a young age that I should be loyal to my country and have the responsibility to defend my territory!"

"I don't know how a person like you who bullies the weak and fears the strong, who bullies the common people, but surrenders to the barbarians without fighting, has the face to live in this world? And you are still here, speaking in a shameless manner?"

"Cui Yingyu! Ask yourself, are you worthy?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's murderous and heart-breaking attack, Cui Yingyu's old face swelled up to the color of liver. He was speechless and trembling with anger...
The young men from aristocratic families who were waiting to laugh at Ye Mingsheng were all stunned. They had never expected that Ye Mingsheng's tongue could be so sharp.

Seeing Cui Yingyu gasping for breath and possibly choking off at any moment, in order to prevent the happy event from turning into a funeral, the Cui family members nearby hurriedly handed medicine and water to the second uncle of the Cui family, fearing that the second uncle would die...
Ye Mingsheng didn't care at all about Cui Yingyu's life or death. Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the people around him, he walked aside as if no one was around.

Since he came to visit the Cui family, with Ye Mingsheng's cautious character, he naturally did enough homework for this trip. He memorized the life stories of many important members of the Cui family, including the head of the Cui family, Cui Shao, just to be prepared.

Cui Yingyu, this old man who doesn't care about his age, is the person Ye Mingsheng focuses on observing. Although this old man has no real power in the Cui family, he likes to take advantage of his seniority and is disrespectful to the elderly, and is not very popular, but he has a high seniority and few people in the Cui family dare to offend him.

In addition, Cui Yingyu worked in the Governor's Office for decades, and eventually retired as a fifth-rank clerk in the Governor's Office. He was Song Wenhui's loyal henchman, but also a thorn in Song Wenhui's side in the Cui family.

Therefore, when he came to the Cui family this time, Ye Mingsheng was already prepared to confront them.

After all, as an old dog, it always has to bark a few times to show its value, so as to avoid being abandoned by its master...
··················
··················
Just as Ye Mingsheng was scolding Cui Yingyu in Chunfu Hall, thousands of bandits dressed in various costumes, led by a bald strong man holding an ebony stick, rushed out of the mountain stronghold and headed straight for the foot of the mountain.

This bald strong man is the king of Erlang Mountain - Wang Shunqiang!

Although his real name is Wang Shunqiang, people in the underworld prefer to call him by his nickname "Wang Old Stick!"

The reason for this name is that Wang Shunqiang was originally a monk. He learned martial arts in the temple. Later, because he could not stand the hardship in the temple, he secretly left the temple and became a bandit. Because he was good at using sticks, the nickname Wang Laogunzi came from this. It was born out of fate!

"Look carefully, that bastard Guo Zhiping, where is he in Tumengou now?"

Looking at the younger brother who came to report the news, Wang Laogun, with a cold look in his eyes, asked viciously:

Although I was a little afraid of Wang Laogun's ferocity, I still nodded affirmatively and said:
"Boss, I saw it clearly. It was Guo Zhiping from Jiukong Cliff. He had only about 300 people with him. He was driving a few large carts with deep ruts. It looked like the things on the carts were all gold, silver and treasures..."

As he spoke, the little brother couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and a hint of greed appeared in his small eyes.

When Wang Laogun heard this, a grim smile appeared on his rough face, and he said angrily:
"Guo Zhiping, you bastard, you finally fell into the hands of your grandfather. Rest in peace, little brother. I will send Guo Zhiping to see you and ask him to kowtow to you and atone for his sins!"

At this point, Wang Laogunzi suddenly shouted at the bandits behind him:

"Damn it, everyone, speed up! Don't let Guo Zhiping get away! If anyone dawdles, I'll whip him to death!"

"The first one hundred people to reach Tumengou will be rewarded with one ounce of silver!"

When they heard that there was silver to be taken, the eyes of these wolf-like bandits seemed to glow green. They spared no effort and ran forward desperately. This made the bandits, who already had no formation, even more chaotic. The whole team was crowded...
The power of silver is undoubtedly enormous. In less than half an hour, Wang Laogunzi and his 3,000 bandits arrived at Tumengou, ten miles east of Erlang Mountain.

Looking at the familiar sturdy figure on the hillside ahead, Wang Laogunzi's eyes were suddenly filled with anger!

He hated Guo Zhiping to the core and knew that it was Guo Zhiping. Even if Guo Zhiping, the bastard who dared to kill his brother, was turned into ashes, Wang Laogun would be able to recognize him!

"Guys, kill Guo Zhiping! The reward is one hundred taels! One hundred taels!"

Wang Laogunzi was grinning and shouting madly, but before his voice had completely faded in the air, an army in neat formations rushed out from the south, north and east.

The three armies quickly formed an encirclement, tightly surrounding Wang Laogunzi and his three thousand bandits!

There is no doubt that these three armies are all flying under the Ye banner of the Zhenwu Army!
