The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Jinling City.

"Order from the Lord of the State: Ying County is suffering from severe flooding. I have issued an order to recruit talented people from all over the country to help with flood control. If you can solve the flood problem in Ying County, you will be promoted to the Minister of Works. This will be announced to all over the country!"

At the notice board, two soldiers stood on both sides. They posted the orders of the king on notice boards in various places and read them out one after another.

Hua Hua Hua...

"The flood in Ying County has plagued the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. If someone could solve it, they would have solved it long ago."

"But the reward is really generous. He was directly promoted to the Minister of Works, which is a second-rank official in the court."

"It seems that the Lord Zhenguo is not satisfied with the Minister of Works Qu Xuan. As long as the flood in Ying County can be solved, our Great Song Dynasty will have another prosperous place."

The common people were talking about it one by one, but they all shook their heads. Floods in Ying County had plagued the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. It was rumored that the area was surrounded by mountains and was flat in the middle. As long as there was enough rain, it would cause severe flood disasters, submerging entire fields and houses. The court had to allocate silver and grain to provide support every year.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Li Linpu sat in the main seat, and the wrinkles on his old face became more obvious. His brows were furrowed, and his face was not very good. Ye Feng had only been back for a few days, and he clearly felt that many officials in the court who he had promoted before had begun to distance themselves from him and draw a clear line with him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this Ye Feng is really going too far. I have been the Minister of Industry for nearly twenty years. Does he want to dismiss me now? He doesn't take you seriously at all."

Before Qu Xuan even walked into the hall, voices of complaints and anger came in. He thought that even if he had no merits, he had worked hard as the Minister of Works over the years.

But now Ye Feng has issued a royal decree, calling on the water conservancy experts from the Nine Provinces to solve the flood in Ying County, and he will be rewarded as the Minister of Works. This is completely ignoring Qu Xuan.

"That's right! I think you should start fighting back, Prime Minister. You can't be so tolerant anymore, or else Ye Feng will do whatever he wants on your head."

Tan Zijian was sitting next to him. As the Minister of Rites, he naturally knew that Ye Feng was also very dissatisfied with him, but he just had no excuse for the time being.

"Lord Qu, don't panic. If the flood in Ying County was really so easy to solve, do you think it would last for hundreds of years?" Li Lipu looked at Qu Xuan and said slowly.

He didn't think that anyone in the world could solve the flood problem in Eagle County. He had been to Eagle County himself and found that the terrain and topography there made it an unsolvable problem, unless one prayed to God not to rain.

"But what if someone can really solve it? Then wouldn't my position as Minister of Works be in danger?" Qu Xuan said angrily.

Seeing Li Linpu sitting upright and still looking calm, Qu Xuan felt aggrieved and couldn't help but said, "Hmph! In short, if I am dismissed as the Minister of Works, I will never let it go. If I don't live well, no one else will."

"Do you threaten me?"

Li Linpu's face was calm when he heard this. He raised his head and his eyes flashed with cold light. His murderous intent flashed across his eyes and his voice was icy. Qu Xuan's words were obviously threatening him.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm sure that Lord Qu didn't mean that. He was just in a desperate situation. Ye Feng is really going too far. If we continue to sit there and wait for death, I'm afraid it will only take three or two years for all of us to be slowly eliminated by him." Tan Zijian next to him quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

He knew very well in his heart that with Ye Feng's character, he was now targeting Qu Xuan, and it might not be long before his target would be him, the Minister of Rites, Tan Zijian.

"You two adults don't have to worry too much. We are all in the same boat. Besides, I am still the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Ye Feng is now showing his talent. Don't forget that Lord Changlin and King Dongxuan have not made any moves. I don't believe that they are willing to watch Ye Feng continue to grow stronger."

Li Linpu's expression softened. If Qu Xuan dared to threaten him like this when he was in power during the Song Dynasty, he would have killed him.

Given the current situation in the Song Dynasty, if he kills Qu Xuan, it will fall right into Ye Feng's trap. The other party will surely be eager to select a new Minister of Works.

Although he was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty at that time, the only official in the court who was willing to obey his orders was the powerless Minister of Rites Tan Zijian.

After another conversation, Tan Zijian and Qu Xuan left with reluctance to leave.

"These two old bastards are in cahoots and dare to offend my father. We might as well arrange for the Illuminati to get rid of them." Li Xun stared at the two men's departing backs and said in a low voice.

"What did you say? Get rid of them?" Li Linpu stood up angrily after hearing that. He took a deep breath and said, "If I kill them now, the happiest person will be Ye Feng. In the future, all the people in the six ministries of the Song Dynasty will be promoted by him. Do you think your father, the prime minister, still has the power? You are an adult now. Don't think so simply. Learn more about being an official and don't focus on the prostitutes in the brothels all day long. If you can have half of Ye Feng's ability, your father would have got Zhao Qiuyan for you long ago."

"The father is teaching the child that he was reckless."

Li Xun was scolded by Li Linpu and was filled with anger. He transferred all his resentment to Ye Feng, and his hatred became even stronger.

"Go to the Blood Shadow Pavilion and ask them. They claim that there is no mission they cannot complete. After such a long time, they still cannot assassinate Ye Feng. Aren't they afraid that it will spread and affect their reputation?"

Li Linpu took a deep breath and thought about the assassins from the Blood Shadow Pavilion. It had been such a long time and no one had tried to assassinate Ye Feng. He felt a little angry inside. You know, a huge sum of money was paid to the Blood Shadow Pavilion in the beginning. You can't just take the money and not do the job, right?

"As ordered!"

Li Xun was secretly delighted in his heart, as long as the Blood Shadow Pavilion took action, Ye Feng would definitely die.

……

"Old Li...Old Li, good news, good news. Didn't you claim that you were responsible for dredging ditches and building dams during the Western Shu Dynasty? We, the King of the Song Dynasty, are now recruiting water management talents from all over the country to deal with the flood in Ying County. You can go and take a look."

In an attic, the name seems simple, it is called the Secret Chamber. There are various businesses in it, including restaurants, auction houses, grocery stores, pharmacies, and everything else.

In a backyard, I saw two thin and skinny men. Their faces were very similar, and it was obvious that they were father and son.

Two people were chopping firewood for the secret chamber, piling the firewood neatly, which not only saved space but also looked clean and comfortable.

Not far in front of the two of them, stood a slightly plump middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, a square face and a simple and honest look.

He is Shen San, who was part of the secret network established by Ye Feng. Some time ago, as Ye Feng left Yanyun County, he and Cao Er acted separately. He slowly spread the restaurants, and in order to better collect information, he transformed the restaurant business into a comprehensive business, renamed it Secret Pavilion, and he did all kinds of business.
