Jiang Mingyu was a little surprised when he saw the stack of banknotes that Zhuge Yu respectfully handed over. He counted them carefully and found that there were as many as 80,000 taels. The amount was so high that he did not expect it.

"Eighty thousand taels, isn't this amount too high?" Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but wonder.

Zhuge Yu put a flattering smile on his face and complimented: "Master, you don't know yet. In addition to the 30,000 kilograms of coal that my family has ordered, I have contacted several friends in the past few days, and they also want to order a lot.

The total cost is at least 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver, and the rest will be regarded as student versus master.

Just give me a little thought. You don’t know that I have been suffering from sores in my mouth these days before finally helping you sell coal. Master, for the sake of my hard work, you must teach me well. In the future, I will work in Asia.

The reputation of Simodusizhou City depends entirely on your teachings."

After hearing this, Wang Zhe curled his lips and showed an "I told you so" smile, and looked at Jiang Mingyu pointedly.

Jiang Mingyu couldn't refuse such a generous gift, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, bring me the pen."

Then, under the surprised gazes of Wang Zhe and Zhuge Yu, Jiang Mingyu quickly wrote ten "borrowed" poems.

The tip of his pen was flying, and the ink was like clouds, and words such as "Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance" and "Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Platform" appeared on the paper. The two people suddenly widened their eyes and were speechless.

Jiang Mingyu threw the ten plagiarized poems to Zhuge Yu very casually, and wrote in a nonchalant tone: "Take them and study them carefully."

Seeing his casual look, Wang Zhe, who likes poetry and has extensive knowledge of literature, was even more surprised and speechless.

Any one of these poems can cause a sensation, but Jiang Mingyu's attitude was as casual as throwing away garbage.

Wang Zhe thought about the sensation that these poems would inevitably cause when they spread out, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Master Jiang, you are so talented that you can be called the number one talent in our Dafeng!"

Jiang Mingyu, who was so poor that he could barely put on his trousers, smiled bitterly when he heard this. What's the use of a title that means he can't afford to eat?

He looked at Zhuge Yu as if he had found a treasure, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to have imagined the fame and honor he had won in Yasmodu with these poems.

Jiang Mingyu shook his head slightly and said to himself, how do you know the origin of these poems?

Then, Jiang Mingyu said: "I don't care what you do with these things, and I don't want to. But remember, no matter who asks about the origin of these poems in the future, you can't say they were written by me.

Do you understand?"

Not only did Zhuge Yu look confused and did not understand the meaning of Jiang Mingyu's words, but Wang Zhe, who was standing aside, was also confused and asked: "Master Jiang, what does this mean? With your talent, write

Shouldn't we be proud of producing such an outstanding work and spread it to the world?"

After hearing this, Jiang Mingyu smiled indifferently and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once you become famous, all kinds of troubles will follow. I have never liked to attract attention, and I don't want to be affected by these things."

The poems caused a commotion outside. Just pretend you have never seen these things and take them."

Zhuge Yu suddenly understood and saluted: "Master, you are so open-minded and regard fame as dirt, which is really admirable. I understand that I must strictly keep the origin of these poems secret and never reveal anything to others."

Jiang Mingyu nodded lightly and nonchalantly, thinking that when these poems about "Jade is Broken and Fat Can Be" spread, you will know how powerful these words are.

Don't blame me for not warning you in advance.

Seeing that all the things that needed to be done were almost solved, Jiang Mingyu said goodbye to Wang Zhe and prepared to rush back to Shangmu County with Murong Yunhai and Tuxluo.

With a look of reluctance, Zhuge Yu chased Jiang Mingyu's carriage and said, "Master, I will definitely visit you in person someday! Don't worry about the coal matter, I will do my best to publicize it. Please wait for the good news!"

Jiang Mingyu nodded slightly, showed a faint smile, and then rode away.

The group of people rushed out of the city gate in a mighty manner. Murong Yunhai looked at the banknotes piled up in the carriage and said happily: "This trip to the city was really not in vain. I made 80,000 taels in one go!"

Jiang Mingyu smiled helplessly. This trip was full of mixed feelings. First he had a fight with King Qi, then he slapped Huang Changshi in the face in the court, and he also accepted a flattering apprentice. It was really a mixed blessing.

What he was even more worried about was that Huang Chaoran, who had suffered such a big loss, would definitely hold a grudge in his heart, and his life would only become increasingly difficult.

The group of people hurried on their way and finally returned to Shangmu County after a day and night. As soon as they entered the county government gate, Wu Xiaoer greeted him happily: "Sir, you are finally back!"

Stepping into the county government office in the cold wind, Jiang Mingyu nodded and asked: "How is the progress of your affairs after I leave?"

Wu Xiaoer nodded hurriedly and reported back: "Sir, not long after you left, I led people to Xiaoying Mountain. More than ten people rummaged around the mountain for a whole hour, and finally found about two thousand taels of silver. These bandits are really too shabby.

Already."

Jiang Mingyu sat down on the chair and waved: "Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat. That's it. Thank you for your hard work."

"By the way, waiter, you can help me recruit some more people. Our big business in Qinglong Village is here again."

Wu Xiaoer promised repeatedly, and it was obvious that he was also looking forward to this business.

After Jiang Mingyu sent him to do some work, he fell down on the bed.

After this trip, he felt exhausted and needed a good rest.

Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought that the county government's accounting room would have tens of thousands more silver. This hard work finally paid off.

In the north of Shangmu City, in the palace garden of King Qi.

Ever since he came back from Asmodeus Prefecture, King Qi's face looked as ugly as a bitter melon that had been stepped on several times. Not only was the credit he wanted to gain was wasted, but he was also ridiculed and ridiculed by Jiang Mingyu. It was really a loss.

He defeated his wife and defeated his troops, and he was furious.

After King Qi returned to Shangmucheng, he was in a very bad mood. First, he ordered his people to severely beat the mistress who had the idea to kill him with a stick. The mistress was wailing incessantly.

Then the King of Qi drank until he was very drunk, and lay down with the support of the palace maid before falling asleep.

But the splitting headache he suffered from a hangover the next day not only aggravated his headache, but also aroused unquenchable anger.

King Qi, who only woke up at noon, finally decided in his irritation to send troops to occupy Qinglong Village and completely take Jiang Mingyu's coal transportation route for himself to vent his bad temper.

He threw away his sleeves and walked to the military camp. With an order, the troops were immediately mobilized.

King Qi's gloomy face finally revealed a sneer. He wanted Jiang Mingyu to pay the price of annoying him.

The King of Qi shouted loudly, and his sergeants immediately gathered together.

His head was still aching, but his anger drove him to order: "Brothers, listen to me, a few days ago when foreigners attacked, Jiang Mingyu took away the credit. This is a great shame for us! I

We have just received a report that there are spies in Qinglong Village, we must immediately capture Qinglong Village, bring the spies to justice, show the majesty of our King Qi army, and let Jiang Mingyu know that guarding Shang Mu is our bounden duty!"

The sergeants knew nothing about the truth and immediately prepared to go after receiving the order.

Seeing that the army was ready, King Qi finally showed a sneer on his gloomy face. He asked Jiang Mingyu to pay the price for offending him.

"Go!" He immediately ordered, and the army marched towards Qinglong Village in a mighty manner.

Asmodeus City, Changshi Mansion.

A woman in red clothes, with a coquettish appearance but eyes full of hatred and grievance, was vigorously shaking Huang Chaoran's plump shoulders, and her long black hair was flying up and down with her movements.

Biting her red lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "As an imperial envoy, can he do whatever he wants? I don't care how big an official he is, but you still have a high status in Asmodeus City."

Chang Shi! My father and brother died inexplicably like this. My He family has no descendants. What’s the point of my life?”

After saying that, tears finally came out of her eyes. The tearful woman He suddenly moved a wooden chair next to her and was about to put her white neck on the rough beam of the roof beam to end her life.

Huang Chaoran quickly grabbed the emotional He Hua, fearing that she would really take extreme action: "Madam, calm down, I didn't say not to avenge my father-in-law."

He Hua stepped on the chair with an inelegant posture. After hearing this, she slammed Huang Chaoran's hand away and asked: "Mr. Sir, what do you mean?"

Huang Chaoran frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "Madam, you are right, we must avenge my father-in-law and brother-in-law. What's more, Jiang Mingyu made me look embarrassed in the court yesterday, and I hate it with all my heart.

He got it."

"My husband will definitely try to deal with Jiang Mingyu, and will never let him escape unharmed. I will definitely remove his head to pay homage to my father-in-law's spirit in heaven." Huang Chaoran clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Hearing what he said, He Hua put down her legs and asked softly: "Then how are you going to deal with Jiang Mingyu? Just send someone to kill him?"

Huang Chaoran shook his head and said: "No, the governor knows all about the grudges between Jiang Mingyu and me. If Jiang Mingyu disappears and dies just after he leaves, the governor will definitely suspect that it was me."

"We must find a foolproof way to kill Jiang Mingyu. After all, he is the imperial minister, and everything must be considered in the long term."

The charming He Hua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again and asked, "Ms. sir, do you have any good ideas to deal with that dog official Jiang Mingyu?"

Huang Chaoran paced around, his fat body moving back and forth in the room, like a heavy pig.

After a long time, he suddenly clapped his fat palms and said with a big smile: "Madam, I have an idea! This is all we need...Jiang Mingyu will definitely die."

He Hua hurriedly asked: "What should we do? Come on, tell me."

"Madam, listen to me, this is all you need..."
