168. Chapter 168 Shut up forever
Ye Changyu entered the room and quickly stood up from Cao Tianyue's chair to greet him and said, "Prime Minister Ye, I am here on the order of the queen."
When Ye Changyu heard that Cao Tianyue said that he came on the order of his daughter Ye Wange, he was shocked and wondered what important matter his daughter Ye Wange had at such a late hour, so he even sent Cao Tianyue to go there.
"General Cao, please sit down and speak slowly." Prime Minister Ye did not panic after hearing this, but calmly asked Cao Tianyue to sit down and speak slowly.
Ye Changyu was neither impatient nor impatient, but Cao Tianyue was so anxious that he had no intention of sitting down to drink tea and chat. He said hurriedly, "Prime Minister Ye, the matter is extremely difficult. The Queen asked me to take Prime Minister Ye to meet someone. There is no room for a moment's delay.
"
"Oh!" Ye Changyu saw that Cao Tianyue was speaking so urgently and asked, "What happened? Who are you taking me to see in such a hurry?"
Cao Tianyue saw that Ye Changyu was full of questions and it would take a lot of time to explain it clearly to Ye Changyu now, so he said, "Let's talk while walking."
Ye Changyu didn't hear Cao Tianyue's answer and hesitantly refused to follow Cao Tianyue.
Cao Tianyue looked at the hesitating Ye Changyu anxiously and said, "The Queen asked me to take Prime Minister Ye to see Wan Haihua."
As soon as Ye Changyu heard Cao Tianyue mention Wan Haihua, the expression on his face immediately changed.
Wan Haihua's name was like a bridge leading to the gate of hell. He lost his composure just now, and his face was instantly filled with sadness. After a while, he whispered, "Let's go!"
Ye Changyu did not ask his family to prepare a sedan chair, but he and Cao Tianyue galloped into the dark night with a fast horse.
Hu Tong had long known that Cao Tianyue was going to bring Ye Changyu to see Wan Haihua, so he did not go to bed and kept sitting quietly with a light on until Cao Tianyue came in with Ye Changyu.
Hu Tong saluted Ye Changyu, but Cao Tianyue did not take Ye Changyu to see Wan Haihua immediately.
"While Prime Minister Ye was away from the capital, Wu Yishan from the Taiyuan Hospital suggested that Wan Haihua be arrested. I think Prime Minister Ye must know the reason." Cao Tianyue first told Ye Changyu the reason for the incident.
When it came to Wu Yishan's purpose of controlling Wan Haihua, Ye Changyu knew of course that Shen Liang must be behind the scenes and wanted Wan Haihua to come forward and accuse him of accepting bribes.
"I know." When Ye Changyu thought about letting these juniors know about accepting bribes, his old face turned red with embarrassment.
"Where is Wan Haihua?" Ye Changyu didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. Now he was eager to see Wan Haihua.
"In the cell." Cao Tianyue replied, glanced at Ye Changyu and said, "The Queen has told Prime Minister Ye to handle this matter well."
"Yes." Ye Changyu understood that this was a matter of life and death related to the honor and disgrace of the Ye family.
Cao Tianyue motioned to Hu Tong to take Ye Changyu to see Wan Haihua. Hu Tong said to Ye Changyu, "Prime Minister Ye, please come with me."
Ye Changyu followed Hu Tong. On the way to see Wan Haihua, Ye Changyu had been thinking about how to deal with Wan Haihua's matter.
Wan Haihua was locked up in this dark cell. She didn't know how many days had passed. When she first woke up, she was yelling and screaming in this cell. Later, the cell leader came in and said that she would be beaten if she screamed again.
After chewing her mouth, she calmed down.
When Wan Haihua came in to deliver food, she also tempted the prison boss to find out where she was and why she was locked up here. However, the prison boss was very tight-lipped. Apart from delivering food to her, he was just like a mute.
Don't say a word.
When Wan Haihua saw the cell door being opened, she looked at the cell door with charming eyes. Hu Tong stood at the cell door and said to Ye Changyu, "Prime Minister Ye, please come in! I'm waiting for Prime Minister Ye here."
Hu Tong knew that if he followed him in, it would be inconvenient for Ye Changyu and Wan Haihua to talk, so he stayed at the cell door and waited.
Ye Changyu entered the cell, and Wan Haihua, who was sitting in the corner with a piece of grass in his mouth, stared at the person in front of him in stunned silence.
"Do you still remember me?" Ye Changyu said when Wan Haihua was stunned for a long time without any response.
"Remember...yes..." Wan Haihua replied in a stunned tone. She really never expected to see Ye Changyu again after more than ten years.
Wan Haihua was very excited to see Wan Haihua again after a long separation, but Ye Changyu, on the other hand, showed no trace of joy. He looked at Wan Haihua and asked, "I just returned to the capital and heard that you were being used by Wu Yishan?"
Wan Haihua was immersed in the joy of seeing Ye Changyu, and slowly climbed up against the wall, "Wu Yishan threatened me."
After hearing this, Ye Changyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, but Wan Haihua didn't see the sinister flash in the smile. All she saw was Ye Changyu's smile.
"Wu Yishan asked you to testify against me?" Ye Changyu asked.
After hearing this, Wan Haihua nodded, rushed towards Ye Changyu and said, "Prime Minister, I have never forgotten you for so many years..." Wan Haihua fell into Ye Changyu's arms. After meeting again after many years, Wan Haihua hoped to rebuild the old relationship.
said.
Ye Changyu put his arms around Wan Haihua's back, closed his eyes and replied, "Have you been living alone these years?"
"Yeah." Wan Haihua responded. After leaving with the 20,000 taels of silver given by Ye Changyu many years ago, she actually did not leave the capital. Instead, she bought a brothel in Yanhua Hutong and opened a brothel to make a living.
She had given her name, so Ye Changyu didn't discover her for so many years.
When Ye Changyu heard Wan Haihua say that he had been living alone for so many years, he was even more afraid that Wan Haihua would rely on him, "How did Wu Yishan find you?"
Wan Haihua replied, "I have never left the capital. I just opened a brothel in Firework Alley anonymously. Wu Yishan and his men arrested me a few days ago. At that time, I thought I was from the government. I thought
After going in, I spent some money and came out, but I didn’t expect that Wu Yishan was not from the government.”
"What did Wu Yishan tell you?" Ye Changyu asked.
Wan Haihua replied, "Wu Yishan asked me to tell you that the brothel was opened by the Prime Minister. He also asked me to tell you that Liang Zhan, the prefect of Echeng, gave me and a dragon tail inkstone to you."
"You agreed." Ye Changyu asked.
"Wu Yishan locked me up and threatened to kill me if I didn't agree. Not only would he kill me, but he would also go to Echeng to kill my family. Do I dare not to agree?" Wan Haihua looked like she had no choice but to do so.
Said for it.
Ye Changyu heard the hand on Wan Haihua's back trembling slightly. Then Ye Changyu moved his hand and took out a sharp knife from his sleeve, pointing it at the back of Wan Haihua who was lying in his arms.
Push it in hard.
"Ah!" Wan Haihua screamed, and blood flowed down her back from where she was stabbed by the knife.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister... you..." Wan Haihua looked at Ye Changyu and said angrily, but it was a pity that Wan Haihua fell to the ground before she could finish speaking her anger.
Ye Changyu looked at Wan Haihua who fell on the ground, reached out and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood on his hand.
Ye Changyu walked out of the cell. Hu Tong was shocked when he saw the little blood stains on Ye Changyu's body. Ye Changyu looked at the surprised Hu Tong and said, "Clean up cleanly."
When Hu Tong heard Ye Changyu's words, he immediately understood what was going on and immediately signaled the cell leader to enter the cell to collect Wan Haihua's body.
Ye Changyu killed Wan Haihua after careful consideration. Wan Haihua could not be kept. Keeping him would be a scourge. Instead of letting Wan Haihua, the bane of the world, live in fear and fear, it would be better to let Wan Haihua live forever.
Just shut your mouth and live in peace.
When Ye Changyu entered the house, Cao Tianyue discovered the blood stains on Ye Changyu's body. Hu Tong, who was following Ye Changyu, made a silent beheading motion on Cao Tianyue.
After Cao Tianyue understood what Hu Tong meant, he was as surprised as Hu Tong. He really didn't expect that Ye Changyu would kill someone and silence him.
If Cao Tianyue knew that Ye Changyu's decision was to kill and silence Wan Haihua, he would have just killed Wan Haihua when Wu Yishan was imprisoned. He could also blame Wu Yishan for having spent so much effort to rescue Wan Haihua.
, but Ye Changyu killed Wan Haihua with one knife, which really made them all waste their efforts.
Ye Changyu took out a thick stack of banknotes from his sleeves and put it on the table and said, "Thank you, General Cao and Prefect Hu, for your help. This is the tea money for you two."
Cao Tianyue glanced at Ye Changyu and said, "Prime Minister Ye, you are polite. We are doing things under the Queen's order, not for Prime Minister Ye's tea money."
Ye Changyu smiled and said, "I understand that General Cao is upright. This has no other meaning. It is just to thank you two for your help. I would like to invite you to tea to express my gratitude. However, I am busy with things and have no free time to accompany you.
I also invite you two Haihan." Ye Changyu said goodbye to Cao Tianyue and Hu Tong.
Cao Tianyue glanced disdainfully at the thick stack of banknotes on the table. Hu Tong picked up the stack of banknotes and counted ten thousand taels, and exclaimed, "Prime Minister Ye is so generous. He just gave us a tea money."
Ten thousand taels, this is enough for us to have tea for a lifetime."
Cao Tianyue's mind was not on the bank note at all. He stood there and thought for a while, then immediately walked out.
Hu Tong was happily counting the banknotes in his hand. When he saw Cao Tianyue walking away without even saying hello, he shouted, "What should I do with this banknote?" Hu Tong did not dare to accept the banknote from the Queen Mother's father.
Cao Tianyue turned around and said, "You can keep it for tea!"
"Give me ten courages and I won't dare to accept it," Hu Tong shouted.
Cao Tianyue, who had not yet stepped over the threshold, turned around and said, "Don't worry, accept it! This is just a drop in the bucket of the rewards given by the Ye family."
Hu Tong looked at Cao Tianyue, who never lied to him, and put away the stack of banknotes stupidly and uneasily.
Ye Changyu killed Wan Haihua. Cao Tianyue did not understand Ye Changyu's actions, so he left Hu Tong's place in a hurry and went to the palace to report the matter to Ye Wange.
Cao Tianyue is now in charge of the Red Guards who protect the royal family, so he can enter and exit the palace freely.
