Chapter 581: Chapter 583: Can You Tell Me, Your True Identity?_1

Ye Ge added, "Indeed, recently there has been a continuous disappearance of refugees, and the taxes levied on the merchants have become increasingly burdensome. All these signs indicate that Qin Kun is training soldiers and gathering strength, and at least half of the ministers in this court are his allies. Even the Imperial Palace is probably powerless against him. When the time is ripe, he can simply find an excuse to rebel, and then the Dajin dynasty will be his."

"Uh huh. And what excuse do you believe he will use to rebel?" Song Cheng stroked his beard, appearing enigmatic.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ge, well aware that Song Cheng was testing him, still answered: "I guess that he will use the excuse that the Emperor intends to kill him. This excuse is the most plausible and easiest to fabricate!"

"You’re absolutely correct!" Song Cheng glanced at Ye Ge and paused for a while before he calmly asked, "Guard Xia, would you tell me your real identity?"

...

Ye Ge meet with Song Cheng the previous night, and upon his return the next day, he said his farewells to Nan Feng, stating his intention to go to the Capital City.

Nan Feng silently packed Ye Ge’s bundle for him, discreetly slipping a few lumps of gold and silver, together with a few strings of silver coins into it.

Pocket money was always necessary when traveling abroad.

After Ye Ge had everything ready, he took the bundle from Nan Feng’s hands and weighed it. Seemingly realizing something, he planted a kiss on Nan Feng’s face.

"I will return soon. Do not worry!"

"Sure, don’t worry. Smooth sailing!"

Ye Ge, looking at Nan Feng again: "Didn’t you mention going for a honeymoon before? After dealing with this matter, I will accompany you. Besides, I will manage the commercial shop with you. We must expand and strengthen your beauty business to make it reach every corner of the Dajin dynasty."

Nan Feng replied with a smile, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for you!"

...

...

The carriage carrying Ye Ge and Song Cheng gradually left the county.

The two of them were traveling incognito; Ye Ge manned the reins while Song Cheng was alone inside the carriage, his guise being that of visiting old friends in the capital.

Being once a government official in the Capital City, Song Cheng was demoted a few years ago due to taking a stand on certain matters. Over the years, he has held posts in various parts of the country, which led to having quite a few acquaintances, mostly people sharing similar stances.

However, people change, and hence, Song Cheng needs to go to the capital to probe their viewpoints, meanwhile, investigating which ministers are in Qin Kun’s faction.

...

Lately, there has been a flurry of activities in the Business Association, another recitation test was held these past few days, requiring the merchants to recite "Business Morality". Thankfully, Nan Feng, having received the news in advance, was well prepared.

Even after preparing, Nan Feng thought it would be an easy pass, only to learn it wasn’t so. After reciting, there would be a question and answer session. Once she was done reciting, Chairman Wan Hui asked, "If one day the court’s grain and salary supply is insufficient and needs our merchants to provide, what would you do?"

Nan Feng replied, "Certainly, I would generously donate. In times of national crisis, everyone has a responsibility."

"Oh? How much specifically would Lady Nan donate?"

"Of course, I would give it my all," Nan Feng said.

"How much is ’all’? After all, everyone’s standard is different," Chairman Wan Hui asked with a smile.

"Chairman Wan, I can donate to the Dajin dynasty all of my assets, barring the portion required for operation," Nan Feng knew that at this point, she had to make such a commitment.
