  From the room to the entrance of the wine shop, it was only a few dozen steps, but Chen Yuan almost fell several times. When he finally stumbled out of the wine shop, Pang Xi and others arrived.

  Hu Jing had already seen Chen Yuan's appearance clearly under the hotel lights, and was extremely anxious in her heart. She rushed over to support Chen Yuan: "Big brother, are you okay?"

  Next is Yang Wenguang, this kid's temper flared up: "Who did it? Where has the person gone?"

  Chen Yuanhong and they waved their hands: "Let's go, we're going back."

  Yang Wenguang rushed straight into the wine shop: "I'll go ask that Xiao fellow what he's up to!"

  "Come back!" Chen Yuan shouted loudly.

  Yang Wenguang stopped in his tracks, looking at Chen Yuan with a reluctant gaze. Chen Yuan took deep breaths, bearing the pain of his injuries, and said softly: "The girl inside is dead, go collect her body and buy a good coffin."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a thud was heard. The woman who had just jumped out of the window and run away suddenly collapsed to the ground.

  Chen Yuan didn't say much more and supported Hu Jing's shoulder: "A Mu Da, help take care of the body, we'll go ahead first."

  If there was one person among this group of people that Chen Yuan didn't trust, it would be Amu Dala, after all he was a foreigner. Therefore, when they needed to discuss some matters, he always thought of ways to get rid of Amu Dala first.

  This time was no exception. Amu Da went alone to buy a coffin, while Chen Yuan and the others returned to the already renovated mansion.

  Zhao Zi's house is quite impressive, and you can tell from the outside that the owner has a lot of style. That's exactly what Chen Yuan was going for.

  After entering the house, Hu Jing's face still wore a sorrowful expression: "Young Master Hou wanted to go with him, but he had to let him come back first. If he had gone, how could such a thing have happened?"

  Chen Yuan patted her hand: "Don't be sad anymore. By the way, how's my business? Has it been making or losing money lately?"

  Hu Jing said with some blame: "Still thinking about business now?"

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course I am thinking about it. Only when the business is done well can I make those Liaoning people believe me. Do you know what I was just thinking?"

  Hu Jing shook her head.

  Chen Yuanqiang smiled and said, "In the past, we had a dispute. I said that defending the country was not something I should do. As long as I pay my taxes according to the law, if Great Song cannot protect my safety, it is her incompetence."

  Hu Jing still remembered this quarrel vividly, and in her heart, she even faintly felt that Chen Yuan had said something reasonable at the time.

  Chen Yuan said such things because he had never encountered anything like what happened today! If the country is broken, everyone will be bullied at will like Xiaoxue. At that time, will there still be a chance to investigate who is responsible?

  He now understood, it was Yelü Chuhuai's fist, and Xiao Huwei's cold and detached attitude that made him realize!

  Chen Yuan didn't say anything else, closed his eyes and panted heavily, but his meaning had already been expressed, and everyone here understood.

  Hu Jing gently grasped Chen Yuan's hand and smiled slightly.

  Chen Yuan was able to suppress the suffocating feeling in his chest after a while, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become extremely resolute: "I wanted to stir up strife between the Khitan and Tangut people of Liao State, but I was still thinking about where to start solving the problem. But just now, I decided that we will take down Yelü Renxian first!"

  Chen Yuan believed that this decision would be welcomed by Yelü Zhongyuan and others, because from the current situation, Yelü Renshi was the greatest obstacle to the reformists.

  But can reform be successful by really getting rid of him? Of course not.

  If Yelü Renshi had any premonition before his death, everything would be fine. However, if he suddenly died, there would inevitably be a struggle on the court of Liao State. Not only would the reformists take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack on the conservatives, but also within the reformist faction itself, there would be infighting over the redivision of power.

  Just like a person carrying two buckets of water, if both sides are slowly getting heavier, there won't be any problem. But if one bucket suddenly loses balance, it's not just the two buckets that will be destroyed, the person carrying them will also fall down.

  Chen Yuan's next move is to suddenly disrupt the balance of power in the imperial court of Liao.

  Pang Xi reminded on the side: "These, shouldn't we do them after Song Qi leaves? Looking at the current situation, he won't be able to hold on for much longer. Once he's gone, all the credit will be ours."

  Chen Yuan glanced at Pang Xi: "I have a plan in mind. Right, Brother Pang, help me prepare 200 large carts for the time being. I promised to send some grain to some people."

  Pang Xi was slightly surprised: "This is probably not feasible, there are big cars, but two hundred carts of grain can't be taken out."

  Chen Yuanyi smiled: "The car is ready, food, I'll think of a way."

  The next day, Chen Yuan arrived early at the gate of Yelü Nügu's mansion. The doorman knew he was a good friend of the Ninth Prince and did not stop him.

  Yelü Niegulu saw Chen Yuan, looked at the scars on Chen Yuan's face, and sighed softly: "Brother Chen, I know what happened yesterday. Don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge this grievance."

  Chen Yuan raised his head and lifted a swollen face: "Is Uncle in?"

  Yelü Nügu said: "Brother Chen, my father the king has just risen and is not yet able to speak. Even if we were to find him now, he would not be able to utter a word. I advise you, Brother Chen, to endure for a little while longer."

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "I've come to discuss something with you all, I'm going to kill Yelü Rensheng."

  Yelü Nügu said, "Brother Chen, this is probably not feasible for now. To be honest, I also want to. However, based on the current situation, Yelü Renshi cannot be overthrown for the time being."

  Chen Yuanshao smiled slightly, his face twisted: "Ninth Prince, I just have a plan and want to discuss it with you. As for whether it will work or not, let's call Uncle over and make a decision after I've finished speaking."

  Yelü Niwulu stared at Chen Yuan for a while: "Alright, Brother Chen, take a seat, I'll go call now."

  Yelü Zhongyuan arrived very quickly. From his speed, it can be seen that he was indeed very interested in overthrowing Yelü Renshi.

  This is called onlookers see most of the game, players are often blind. Yelü Zhongyuan had been thinking of getting rid of his biggest opponent in the court for a long time, so he had always thought about how to monopolize power after Yelü Renshou's death, without considering what serious consequences would be caused to Liao State if the power balance in the court was disrupted.

  Yelü Zhongyuan came forward and asked immediately: "Chen Shimei, is there a way to get rid of Yelü Renshi?"

  Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, although it's just a preliminary idea, but I have at least 60% confidence."

  Yelü Zhongyuan took a chair and sat down opposite Chen Yuan, while Yelü Neigulu stood alongside him and spoke on his father's behalf: "Brother Chen, let's hear what you have to say first."

  Chen Yuan looked at Yelü Niegulu: "Ninth Prince, I'll ask you one question first. This defeat, do you feel a bit wronged?"

  Yelü Niegulu nodded: "Hmm, I've thought about it many times too. Those Jurchen people seemed to know that we weren't elite soldiers from the start when they faced us. They seemed to have known all along that we would send more troops over, so they kept us in Huanglong Prefecture."

  Chen Yuan's radiant face broke into a smile once again: "The Ninth Prince thought that if someone were to leak military secrets to the Jurchen people, who would it be?"

  Yelü Niegulu shook his head after hearing this: "I know, I also suspect Yelü Rensheng. After all, if I lose, he will be the happiest, and he would even wish me dead. But I have no evidence, so there's nothing I can do to him."

  Chen Yuan's eyes turned to Yelü Zhongyuan: "There is a crime in this world called 'frame-up'. That is to say, when everyone says it was him who did it, even the emperor would think that he might have done it."

  Yelü Zhongyuan's eyes lit up: "It may be useful to others, but for Yelü Renshi, the Emperor will not be so rash. Even if he suspects him, evidence is still needed, but we can't produce it."

  Chen Yuan's face was calm: "Can't take it out because I didn't go find it, want to find it can always be found, even if can't find, can't make it up? Besides, what if Yelü Renshi himself can't explain clearly?"

  Yelü Zhongyuan stared at Chen Yuan for a long time before asking: "Do you want Yelü Ren to die first?"

  Chen Yuan said fiercely: "Last night, I told Yelü Chongbao that as long as I don't die, he will die a terrible death."

  Yelü Zhongyuan shook his head: "Don't you know that this matter is not easy? Yelü Renshou has many eyes and ears in Liao State, with great power, wanting to deceive him by making some small moves, it's basically impossible."

  Chen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Yelü Zhongyuan: "Uncle doesn't want to do it?"

  Yelü Zhongyuan did not respond to him, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "You can go try it out. I can only help to distract Yelü Rennan's attention on the court. As for later, I'll wait and see how things develop."

  This result is within my expectation. Yelü Zhongyuan was not unwilling to help, but he simply didn't believe he would succeed. The better it is, the less prepared he is, the more flustered he will be when the opportunity suddenly arises, and the more unstable factors there will be in the Liao court.

  Chen Yuan smiled: "Alright, I'll take my leave first, Uncle, please wait for good news."

  After leaving Yelü Zhongyuan's mansion, Chen Yuan looked up at the sun in the sky with his eyes that had been beaten swollen by Yelü Shubao.

  The sunlight was a bit dazzling, Chen Yuan still had to go find someone, that is Xiao Suli, finding him was for his own financing plan to be implemented as soon as possible. This high-difficulty action, if done well, would add points to himself in all aspects.

  Don't underestimate a small financial scam, the severe crackdown on this behavior by the political axe of the 21st century is not unreasonable.

  If it's done on a large scale, first of all, it can help gain the support of some heavyweight officials in the early stage. Those fraudulent financing gangs always manage to pull out a batch of corrupt officials, because once they're on board, it's extremely difficult to get off.

  The second is that after his own success, he took away a large sum of money and walked away, enough to make the entire Yanjing economy face collapse! At that time, Liao Guo didn't need to consider whether to fight against Dang Xiang or Da Song, they could guarantee not being beaten was already good.

  Chen Yuan walked very slowly, because his body was indeed in great pain. Every ache reminded Chen Yuan of what had happened the night before, and the tears that flowed from Xiaoxue's eyes after her death made it clear to Chen Yuan that this was just one drop in the ocean of tears shed by the people of Song Dynasty.

  I remember when I was in middle school, the teacher said that the main reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was the maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty.

  At that time, the history teacher also analyzed with the classmates in the class, saying that if Liao State was left to let the Khitan and Jurchen people fight each other to death, it would be the best choice for the Song Dynasty.

  Chen Yuan used to agree with this, but now he knows that what the history teacher said was all just hindsight from later generations who have forgotten the pain.

  The hatred between the Song and Liao dynasties was too deep, so deep that even now, including the current Grand Master Pang, and later Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, those infamous historical figures were all equally resolute on the issue of destroying the Liao.

  The Song Dynasty had once thought of peace, with tens of millions of coins spent each year, but what they got in return was the other side's increasingly larger appetite. Those Liao soldiers relied on their fast horses to repeatedly raid and plunder the heartland of the Song Dynasty! It was like drop after drop of tears that could flow into a river, like small snowflakes!

  So for the Song Dynasty, no matter what price is paid or what consequences are faced, as long as the Khitan people can be destroyed, it's all worth it!

  Chen Yuan is also thinking this way now, last night he not only lost his personal dignity but also the national dignity, to get these back, he can only go find the person who took them away!

  Before, he thought that he could complete the task given to him by Lü Yi Jian in a relatively gentle way. However, now even someone like him who considers himself not very noble in terms of personal and national character has come to realize that a gentle approach does not exist between Liao and Song.

  He was beaten by Yelü Shuobao, and the news spread very quickly. Although Xiao Suli showed a surprised expression at Chen Yuan's appearance, Chen Yuan could tell that he had already known about it.

  Since he pretended to know nothing, there was no need for him to say anything. So when Xiao Suli asked Chen Yuan what was going on, he simply said lightly: "I fell down while walking."

  Xiao Su Li's heart was definitely laughing, and her mouth had a hint of mockery as she said: "Oh my, Brother Chen is so careless?"

  Chen Yuan said casually: "Has anyone fallen down? Ah, Lord Xiao, didn't I send you last month's dividend?"

  Xiao Su Li nodded: "Hmm, I knew that business was definitely profitable, but I really didn't think it would be so lucrative. Chen Zhanggui, now also an official in the imperial court, won't this business matter be neglected?"

  Chen Yuan sat up straight and said, "I came to see you about this matter. You also know that our warehouse has been almost full for some time now, especially the fresh goods warehouse. Currently, we are the only ones in the entire Liao country who have an ice cellar, so it's basically always full. Some merchant teams bring their goods here but there is no place to put them, resulting in the goods spoiling outside or being sold at a low price, which has a great impact on us. I think it's necessary to expand our scale a bit."
