Opening an office in Taila

Menlulev's death was not an accident.

Many people speculated this way, but only Song Yufeng was certain, because he was the one who killed Menlulev.

But Song Yufeng couldn't go and kill him personally. After all, the old nobles would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and Song Yufeng couldn't let anyone else get hold of any evidence, so Song Yufeng invited someone.

To be precise, she is not a human.

But a ghost.

Yin Hua has been consolidating her form these days, and the progress is encouraging. This means that she can already switch between human and ghost. Because of this understanding of ghosts, she has also been able to make rapid progress in divine arts.

Letting Yin Hua carry out assassination is simply the area she is best at.

That night, Yin Hua arrived at that section of road in the form of a ghost. When Menlulev drove past, Yin Hua destroyed his tires. Because the emperor had summoned him at that time, Menlulev was driving at a relatively fast speed. The moment the tire exploded, the vehicle lost control and crashed into the construction area next to it. Menlulev was lucky enough not to die.

But he was also seriously injured.

This gave Yin Hua an opportunity. After all, as a ghost, he could cut off the souls of dying people. So Yin Hua then made a move and directly cut off Menlulev's soul. The Minister of Police died on the side of the road.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked. The Minister of Police suddenly died in a car accident. Moreover, it happened that there was no surveillance on the road section, it happened that the road was under construction, and it happened that he died in a car accident when the emperor summoned him at night.

This is too much of a coincidence.

The old nobles never believed that Menlulev's death was an accident. They first suspected Song Yufeng. However, Song Yufeng had been in the office that day listening to reports from his subordinates and even stayed up until 6 o'clock in the morning. The whole incident had nothing to do with him.

So they turned their suspicions to other new nobles and royal families, but naturally there was no progress, so they had to swallow this loss.

The newly appointed Minister of Police is a new aristocrat named Zinoyev. This guy is quite sensible. He came to visit Song Yufeng as soon as he took office, and then vowed to Song Yufeng that he would definitely cooperate with Song Yufeng's work in the future, showing a very sincere attitude of cooperation.

Song Yufeng was naturally very happy. There has been speculation that it was Song Yufeng who killed Menlulev, but there was no evidence and no one could guess Song Yufeng's methods. Now he was showing goodwill, on the one hand, with the emperor's intention, and on the other hand, to save his life.

This way, your work will be done better.

Song Yufeng also attended Menlulev's funeral. Song Yufeng could hardly hide his smile, so much so that he had to go to the bathroom to relieve his good mood.

Menlulev has no wife or children, but he has an older brother and no other relatives.

This is a good thing for Song Yufeng, at least it makes him feel less guilty.

However, Song Yufeng still secretly transferred two million to his brother, as if he had used the two million to buy Menlulev's life.

After attending the funeral, Song Yufeng was summoned by the emperor that evening.

Song Yufeng slowly walked to the seat and sat down, then looked at the emperor. The emperor's eyes kept staring at Song Yufeng until Song Yufeng could no longer bear it. The emperor then spoke: "I know you killed the person."

Song Yufeng raised his eyebrows. The room was very quiet at this time. There was no one else except the two of them. Song Yufeng expanded his field of view to check and found that there was indeed no one else.

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? I just have some distance with him, but I won't kill him." Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone knows it. What I want to say is that you did a great job. The power of the old nobility has suffered a serious blow this time. For me, this is a good thing."

Song Yufeng nodded, but did not respond. He didn't know what this guy was going to do. If he responded casually, he might cause trouble.

"Song Yufeng, in your opinion, what is the future of Ursus? I want to hear the opinions of outsiders." The emperor suddenly sighed and said.

"Integrate with other countries and achieve win-win cooperation."

"Couldn't it be a war?"

"A country that loves war will perish, but one that forgets war will be in danger."

"Please tell me more."

"Since ancient times, I've never heard of a country that could survive for long by constantly fighting. Over time, people die and resources are wasted. Even if a country wins and gains access to another country's resources and population, those resources will eventually run out. Most of the population will resist, leaving very few available to replenish troops, not to mention the possibility of counterattacks from other countries. Furthermore, a country that is belligerent will inevitably be sanctioned by other countries. Haven't you seen what happened in Gaul?"

"If this is true, Ursus will surely repeat the mistakes of Gaul."

"Yes, that's why I say that the only way out for the country is to transform itself, integrate with other countries, and cooperate in a friendly manner."

"Well, your ideas are similar to those of my confidants. Ursus really needs reform." The emperor sighed, then said, "Your ideas are similar to ours. Why not join us?"

After saying this, the emperor took out a box, opened it, and saw a medal inside.

"As long as you join us, I will immediately grant you the third-level noble medal, and you will be the new noble of Ursus."

Song Yufeng thought about it carefully. The emperor now had more power and greater advantages. Moreover, his previous actions made it impossible for him to cooperate with the old nobles.

Song Yufeng then knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will repay your kindness with my life!"
