Chapter 8290 Stepping Stones

Other courtyard.

Yun Zhiyong was a little shocked.

He had heard people say before that his grandfather Yun Ying was as cunning as a fox, and he had even fought with people for it.

My grandfather is a rare good person, how could he be as cunning as a fox?
But now he realized that what others said was probably right.

"Zhiyong, does it feel strange?" Yunying half-closed her eyes and said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm a little confused." Yun Zhiyong nodded, he really didn't quite understand.

"You know, your grandfather and I, what is the most powerful ability?" Yunying said lightly.

"Is it the ability to do business?"

This is all Yun Zhiyong could think of.

In Linze City, the Yun family can occupy a place among a group of merchants, thanks to Yunying's contribution.

And Yunying's ability to sit as the Great Elder and have a transcendent status in the Yun family is inseparable from this.

"Back then, when the old man was young, there were at least a few people whose business ability was not inferior to the old man, but why did the old man become the Great Elder in the end instead of them?"

Yun Yingying paused angrily, seeing Yun Zhiyong's blank eyes, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

This grandson is just a fool, and his comprehension ability is indeed not strong enough.

"It's not how strong this old man is. The key point is that this old man stands in the right position every time... Do you understand?" Yunying said lightly.

"Ming, I understand."

Yun Zhiyong is a bit naive, but not stupid. He understood what Yun Ying meant, but Yun Ying's image was very different from his previous image, which made him stunned.

"Go back and study hard." Yunying waved her hand.

……

Yunyang Bo walked all the way, thinking about what to do.

Although he has decided to spread the news in private.

But who is going to spread the news?What kind of talent is reliable?
After thinking about it, he didn't think of a reliable candidate.

He sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes, and after a while, suddenly, a person appeared in his mind.

Yun Ying is not the only old man in the Yun family.

There is also an old man from the Yun family who lived in seclusion in Linze City for a long time.

Because of not participating in the matters of the Yun family for many years, it has basically been forgotten by most of the Yun family.

"Go and meet Yun Xin and Lao."

Yun Xin and Lao lived in the south of the city, and only a very few high-level members of the Yun family knew about it.

And Yunyang Bo happened to be the one who knew the inside story.

Even if the wisdom of Yun Xin and Lao is slightly inferior to that of the Great Elder Yun Ying, it is not too far behind.

In the evening, Yunyang Bo finally arrived at the gate of Yunxin's old house.

The cloud is new and old, named Xinyuan.

When he was young, he was called Mr. Yuan, but when he got older, everyone in the Yun family called him Yun Xin Lao.

The gate of Yun Xin's old house is not as grand as the gate of the elder Yun Ying's house.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary city dweller's house.

At the gate, there were several young children squatting on the ground playing.

Yunyang Bo got off the sedan chair, walked to the door, and knocked lightly on the door.

There was a clear voice from inside.

"Come in."

The door is not locked.

After Yunyang Bo pushed the door open, he turned sideways and closed the door again.

Then, he stepped into the courtyard.

In the yard, I saw a man in his fifties, dressed in plain cloth, holding a water jug ​​in his hand, watering the flowers slowly.

It is winter now, and there are not many flowers that can bloom in the yard, only a few kinds such as plum blossoms.

"I've seen Yun Xin Lao."

Yunyang Bo stepped forward and saluted.

He didn't contempt the slightest bit because of the simplicity of the middle-aged man in front of him.

In his opinion, Elder Yun Xin and Grand Elder Yun Ying are the same kind of people, they are the kind of people who are extremely wise and able to judge the situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to ask Yun Xin Lao for advice.

"Yang Bo, why come to my place when you have time?" Yun Xinlao asked sideways while pouring water.

"Yun Xin is old, something big has happened to the Yun family..."

Yunyang Bo resisted his impetuous temper, and briefly explained what happened to the Yun family recently.

"I already know what you said. Before you came, you went to the Great Elder's place. What did he say?" Yun Xin smiled slightly, his expression still calm.

"The Great Elder means that I should find someone to spread the news privately, and then wait for the result..."

Yunyang Bo repeated the attitude and words of the Great Elder Yunying.

Yun Xinlao pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "You are confused, how can you do this?"

Yunyang Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it okay for me to choose loyal people?"

"Although Luo Xingchen is young, as an imperial envoy, he has won the emperor's trust, and he is the youngest juren in the capital. Will such a person not understand what you are doing?"

"He doesn't need evidence. As long as there are rumors in the city, he will directly send people to lock up those who disagree with Yunzhen, such as you, and torture them severely. Can you bear it?" Yun said. The old and new sneered.

"He, he wouldn't be so vicious, right?" Yunyang said broadly.

"Why not? His father is Zhongyonghou. As for himself, he personally experienced the battle of Jianxia Pass a few days ago. He has seen a lot of battles, and he will never lack the desire to kill."

"Don't take chances. If your father and I were close friends, I wouldn't have said this to you." Yun Xin said slowly.

After Yun Xin and Lao said something, Yunyang Bo believed it.

As Yun Xin Lao said...

Yunyang Bo's father and Yun Xin are always good friends, so Yun Xin will never harm him.

But there was one more thing that he didn't want to understand.

"But, what the Great Elder meant..."

What Yunyang Bo didn't expect to understand was the attitude of the Great Elder.

According to what Yun Xin and Lao said, didn't the Great Elder Yun Ying make a huge mistake?

However, Great Elder Yunying has indeed made small mistakes over the years, but he has never made big mistakes.

"When the Great Elder was young, he had a nickname, the Fox of the Yun Family."

"Anyone who is nicknamed a fox is basically a cunning person. Look at the Beili Fox from Beili's family. He is very tactful in leading troops."

"Fox of the Yun Family, the Great Elder's nickname is not just randomly arranged by others, it is piled up one by one, one by one."

"He asked you to spread the news, why didn't he go by himself?"

"He's just waiting for you to go, and then borrow your head to claim credit from Luo Xingchen."

Yun Xin's old face was solemn, not as relaxed as it was at the beginning.

"This... what does the Great Elder mean? How could he do this! He is also the one who has suffered damage in the matter of dividing the land."

Yunyang Bo's eyes were dull, and he believed in Yun Xin and Lao's judgment in his heart.

But what he couldn't accept was that the Great Elder Yun Ying actually used him as a junior as a stepping stone.

"Most of the property he gets every year is from business, and the output from the fields is not much. He doesn't care whether he divides the fields." Yun Xin said oldly.
