Chapter 684 Little White Flower’s Counterattack!

Listening to Jinyu's jealous words, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly, reached out and touched Jinyu's cheek, and said to her soothingly:

“Guiyu, you are also very cute…”

Ye Mingsheng, who had not yet finished speaking, was suddenly attacked. Jinyu mustered up the courage to open her red C and took the initiative to stop him from moving in and out, letting Ye Mingsheng's movement feel the agility of her little snake. Ye Mingsheng, who was provoked like this, immediately became furious, and without saying a word, he started to enforce the family rules on the spot, making Jinyu realize how serious and outrageous her mistake was!
Half an hour later, Jinyu, who had fully realized her mistake, began to massage Ye Mingsheng's legs obediently, while Ye Mingsheng continued to read the report.

Because of her bright and beautiful appearance and noble temperament, many people proposed to Jiang Yuyan when she was still in her boudoir. Among them was Tang Peng, the legitimate son of Duke Wei. Facing such a powerful person like Duke Wei, the King of Qi accepted her proposal immediately. However, Jiang Yuyan looked down on Tang Peng. In order to reject Jiang Peng, she even threatened to die, which made Duke Wei's family lose face. The marriage was finally cancelled.

After rejecting Tang Peng, Jiang Yuyan was eventually diverted to Wang Yingjie, the dashing and talented son of a minister and the winner of the imperial examination. She won the beauty with a heartfelt love poem. Of course, in addition to the love poem, Wang Yingjie also presented a large amount of gifts to the King of Qi, and only then did he get the King's permission.

The story should have ended here with a happy story of a talented man and a beautiful woman, who finally became a couple and grew old together. However, perhaps the story was too perfect and God was jealous of it. Not long after marrying Jiang Yuyan, Wang Yingjie, who had always been very strong, began to lose weight. Rumors spread that Jiang Yuyan was a vixen who specialized in sucking the energy of men...
Amidst such rumors, Jiang Yuyan became pregnant. However, perhaps the rumors put too much pressure on this weak woman, and the child was born prematurely, and eventually died before the full month. Just when Jiang Yuyan needed support and comfort the most, her husband Wang Yingjie finally believed the rumors and left her, and took a concubine named Cao. There was even a rumor that Wang Yingjie wanted to divorce her.
However, although Wang Yingjie made his choice, he died not long after.

The untimely death of his beloved son was a huge blow to the old man of the Wang family. Not long after, the old man of the Wang family also passed away. The pillars of the family passed away one after another, which forced Jiang Yuyan to deal with the funeral affairs of her father-in-law and husband while feeling grief-stricken.

And at this critical moment, all the side branches of the Wang family came knocking. According to feudal etiquette, since Wang Yingjie had no son before his death, the Wang family had no heir. Then these side branches had the right to inherit the Wang family's huge fortune. For this reason, they had to drive Jiang Yuyan out of the Wang family.

At this critical moment, Cao discovered that she was pregnant with Wang Yingjie's posthumous child. After discovering this, Jiang Yuyan, a weak woman, regained her courage and wanted to protect her husband and father-in-law's property from being encroached upon by relatives.

Finally, after her insistence, the two sides agreed that if Cao gave birth to a boy, the Wang family’s property would belong to the boy, and if Cao had a miscarriage or gave birth to a girl, the child would be raised by their relatives, and Jiang Yuyan would be kicked out of the Wang family...

Although the two parties had an agreement, as the saying goes, money can move the heart, faced with the temptation of the Wang family's thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of shops and luxury houses, some people still used shady means to cause Cao to have a miscarriage. However, under Jiang Yuyan's protection, Cao was finally safe and sound, and gave birth to a boy after ten months of pregnancy.

Although according to the agreement, Wang's relatives had to give up coveting Wang's property, money was a temptation. Under the temptation of money, they resorted to a new trick, which was to slander Cao for having an affair with a wild man and cuckolding Wang Yingjie, and that the child born was not Wang Yingjie's. However, under Jiang Yuyan's resistance, their despicable tricks ultimately failed!

After protecting the Wang family's property, according to feudal etiquette, the child born to Cao was given to Jiang Yuyan to raise. Jiang Yuyan naturally became the head of the Wang family, in charge of the Wang family's property and land. At this time, the Fengwu Army invaded Hebei and Henan.

Unlike other powerful families who chose to watch from the sidelines and wait for the right price, although Jiang Yuyan was a woman, she also had a pair of sharp eyes. She was able to see that the Fengwu Army was on the rise, so she expressed her willingness to cooperate with the Fengwu Army. Despite the huge pressure from within the family, she opened her warehouses to release grain to assist the Fengwu Army in providing relief to the victims in Hebei and Henan, and took the initiative to hand over thousands of acres of land for the Fengwu Army to redeem it, and handed over the shares of Yuchuntang for the Fengwu Army's public-private partnership...
All these wasteful actions put the widow Jiang Yuyan at the center of public opinion in Hebei and Henan. Many people said that she was selling her father's land without feeling any regret. Some even said that she did this because she had hooked up with Zhang Zhiwen, the deputy governor appointed by Ye Mingsheng to handle the reform process in Hebei and Henan, so she was willing to spend all her family wealth to please her lover.

To be honest, this statement is not without basis. According to the investigation of the Coordination Office, Zhang Zhiwen, the "thief Cao", really had his eyes on the young widow Jiang Yuyan. But unfortunately, love is not as good as love. Zhang Zhiwen even had an affair with his subordinate's wife in Jiyu, and Jiang Yuyan caught him and slapped him twice, warning him not to have any thoughts about her again.

And the reason why Zhang Zhiwen described the matter about Jiang Yuyan in the book given to Ye Mingsheng this time, according to the investigation of the Coordination Office, was not Zhang Zhiwen's idea, but Jiang Yuyan's idea!

The reason why Jiang Yuyan did this was driven by interests!
Ever since Ye Mingsheng came to power, in order to quickly get his territory out of poverty and disasters, Ye Mingsheng has used the means of planned economy and administrative means to promote the progress of things. However, Ye Mingsheng, who knows history, also understands that planned economy is not a panacea. He needs to stimulate the vitality of the market and use the invisible hand of the market to ensure the healthy and stable development of the economy...
Because of this idea, Ye Mingsheng recently planned to conduct pilot projects in some areas, including the bill exchange area. Previously, under Ye Mingsheng's administrative order, the silver bill acceptance business in the area controlled by the Fengwu Army could only be completed by the Dadongsheng Company.

Although this ensured that Ye Mingsheng could control the financial business, the monopoly brought about by administrative means also made the Dadongsheng Company lack competition. The internal staff of the company also became very lazy, corruption began to appear, and the service quality and efficiency plummeted.

Regarding this situation, Ye Mingsheng understood that it was not something that could be solved by simply arresting a group of people or killing a group of people to scare the monkeys. The system problem needed to be solved fundamentally. Therefore, after some thought, Ye Mingsheng decided to gradually open up the bill exchange business and issue licenses to other bill exchanges, allowing them to conduct acceptance business within a certain range and use them to support the development of Dadongsheng Company.

Because of the importance of this matter, it is still in preparation and has not been officially announced. Although he intends to do so, Ye Mingsheng plans to do it step by step. In order to ensure that he can control the ticket business, he only plans to give two or three ticket licenses, and the ticket licenses given must also be trusted by Ye Mingsheng. Although this matter is still a relatively confidential news in the Fengwu Army, because Zhang Zhiwen is the person in charge of the Fengwu Army’s reform in Hebei and Henan, he also knows about this situation, and Jiang Yuyan also learned about this news from him. The young widow valued the lucrative ticket business, so she also asked Zhang Zhiwen to fight for her...
However, what Jiang Yuyan would never have expected was that although Zhang Zhiwen agreed to fight for her, he had other thoughts in his mind!
And the idea is to send Jiang Yuyan to Ye Mingsheng's bed!
Although he was greedy for Jiang Yuyan's body at the beginning and wanted to get this noble and charming young widow into bed, Zhang Zhiwen calmed down after being warned by Jiang Yuyan. He was warned by Ye Mingsheng the last time he slept with his subordinate's wife. He was determined to become the governor of Hebei and Henan, and did not want his future to be ruined because of Jiang Yuyan, so he did not dare to harass Jiang Yuyan again.

After being asked by Jiang Yuyan to obtain a ticket exchange license for her, Zhang Zhiwen, this bastard, didn't know what he was thinking, but he came up with an idea that he thought was brilliant!

The idea was to take this opportunity to recommend Jiang Yuyan to Ye Mingsheng. Zhang Zhiwen was very confident in his own vision. He believed that Ye Mingsheng would be very satisfied with Jiang Yuyan. Once Ye Mingsheng was happy, wouldn't it be a sure thing for Zhang Zhiwen to get the position of the governor of Hebei and Henan?

It would even make Ye Mingsheng look at him differently from now on. Wouldn't Zhang Zhiwen be able to bring honor to his family and have a successful career in the future?
With this idea in mind, Zhang Zhiwen asked a painter to draw a portrait of Jiang Yuyan, hid it in the official document sent to Ye Mingsheng, and then waited for Ye Mingsheng's letter...

The reason why the Coordination Office knew so much about Zhang Zhiwen's plot was actually very simple. That was because Zhang Zhiwen, who thought he had succeeded recently, went home and drank a little wine in the evening. When he was drunk, he started to show off the mistress he had just found.

However, he would not have expected that, because he was the deputy governor of Hebei and Henan, and also a high-ranking official in the Fengwu Army system, so according to Ye Mingsheng's instructions, the Coordination Office also focused on controlling him to prevent him from taking any inappropriate actions. Therefore, his mistress had already been bribed by the Coordination Office, so all his plots were known to the Coordination Office word for word.

After reading the report from the Coordination Office, Ye Mingsheng was still very angry with Zhang Zhiwen. This bastard wanted to be the governor of Hebei and Henan, but instead of thinking about how to implement his reform policies and make some achievements to show him and prove his ability and loyalty, he actually wanted to use magnesium to lure him!

This really blinded him. I, Ye, am a gentleman with clean hands and upright character. How could I be seduced by a little bit of temptation?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but want to suspend Zhang Zhiwen. However, when he thought that the Hebei-Henan reform had reached the most critical time, and Zhang Zhiwen was responsible for its implementation, taking Zhang Zhiwen down now would affect the subsequent progress of the reform and cause some unnecessary adverse effects.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng felt that he should be patient for a while. After the reforms in Hebei and Henan had some results, he would capture Zhang Zhiwen and teach this bastard a lesson...
After making this decision, Ye Mingsheng's eyes unconsciously looked at Jiang Yuyan's portrait. Although he had never seen this woman, the more he learned about her, the more interested he became in this young widow.

He felt that Jiang Yuyan's life was like a little white flower that became a strong woman after suffering hardships! According to the style and writing of later female-oriented novels, this can definitely be said to be a female version of a cool novel!

If that's the case, how would she feel?
What should I do?

····························
····························
Just as Ye Mingsheng was having doubts in his mind, Wang Xuecheng in the cell of the Coordination Office was calmly looking at the bloody man in front of him who was tied to a wooden stake and tortured.

Standing next to Wang Xuecheng, the captain Guo Qian who was in charge of the interrogation said apprehensively:
"I'm sorry Director Wang, I've tried every possible means on him, but this bastard won't talk!"

Wang Xuecheng nodded slightly when he heard this, then looked at the prisoner in front of him and said calmly:
"Your name is Xu Dake, right? Xu Zhaojie's relatives are really tough. But you are so loyal to Xu Zhaojie, but Xu Zhaojie sent you to Yijing to die. This is really not nice of you!"

Listening to Wang Xuecheng's words, Wang Dake slowly raised his head, opened his eyes and said with difficulty:

"Wang Xuecheng, you are just a dog raised by Ye Mingsheng. How can a dog like you want to use the strategy of alienation? Do you think you can learn it?"

Although Wang Dake was very weak at this time after being taken care of by the staff of the Coordination Office, his words were full of murderous intent and hatred towards Wang Xuecheng. There was no doubt that if he was not tied to a wooden stake now, he would definitely fight to the death with Wang Xuecheng...
