As early as Ye Shiming's family tried their best to stay in the capital, she had long expected that such an incident would happen, so she was not surprised at all. As long as the trouble was not her parents, everything else would be easy to solve.
Based on Ye Shiming's ability and situation, he must have no money to buy fields and slaves. In this case, it has something to do with Xu Anhao. Behind Xu Anhao are Feng Shangshu and King Ke. It is estimated that their plan starts from luring Ye Shiming here.
It started in the capital, but it was only through yesterday's events that it broke out today.
There's never been a better time than now.
Cui Weizhen is not in the capital, and the Ye family brothers have offended foreign envoys and are imprisoned. This matter has aroused discussion and resentment from many people. The time and place are favorable, and if we don't take action now, we will be sorry for what they have been doing these days.
Working hard.
This kind of painstaking conspiracy and planning was no longer something that Ye Zhenzhen could interfere with. She was too lazy to go to Ye Shiming's family. After bidding farewell to her parents, she went directly back to Cui Mansion. First, she wrote a letter and had someone rush to send it to Cui Weizhen. Then she only needed to
Wait for things to develop.
I had already been to King Wei's Mansion yesterday. King Wei had already known in advance that someone would attack the Cui Mansion, so he must have been prepared. Even if King Wei had any taboos and was unable to help, the manpower left by Cui Weizhen would delay the matter first and wait for him.
Come back and solve it later.
The next day, the censor's impeachment was more detailed. He not only pointed out the identity of the second wife of the Ye family, but also listed the various evil deeds Ye Shiming had committed by relying on the power of the Cui family. In the censor's writing, Ye Shiming became a heinous person.
A treacherous villain, Cui Mansion is the accomplice of Hu Fuyi.
The impeachment report caused a lot of discussion between the government and the public. Emperor Xuanwu did not make a judgment on the matter. Instead, he postponed the report and asked people to thoroughly investigate whether the charges impeached by the censor were true. The person responsible for the thorough investigation was none other than Zhou Xunting's father.
, Zhou Weiran, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is responsible for the clan and the trial of major cases. It is overqualified to put the dignified young minister of Dali Temple in charge of such cases, but the intention and favoritism of the Holy Master are also clearly revealed——
Who doesn’t know that Cui Mansion and Zhou Mansion are family friends? Let’s talk about Cui Weizhen and Zhou Xunting. Their relationship is so good that they can wear the same pants.
Regardless of the slander and dissatisfaction of outsiders, the matter was settled like this, and Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. With the favoritism of the Holy Emperor and Master Zhou's delay, it should be possible to delay Wei Zhen's return.
Dali Temple opened a case to investigate Ye Shiming. Ye Shiming and his wife were originally running around begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother about their son. In the blink of an eye, Ye Shiming was imprisoned. He was completely confused, but under the toughness and majesty of the jailer, he
Li Cuier, who did not dare to resist and had no way to seek help, approached Ye Zhenzhen again.
Ye Zhenzhen let her in this time, not because she was soft-hearted, but because she wanted to understand something with her.
Unexpectedly, Li Cuier didn't know anything about Liangtian and his servants, and she only cried and begged Ye Zhenzhen for help. Ye Zhenzhen had to give up the idea of finding answers to her, and just told her: "The censor is impeaching him for seizing Liangtian and his servants."
Detaining refugees is a serious crime against the imperial court. Our Cui Mansion has been implicated and cannot save you at all. Madam Li, instead of coming here to find me, you might as well go find your good son-in-law. Where did these charges come from?
Yes, he knows best."
Li Cuier seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and her whole body went limp.
Yesterday something happened to her son, and today her husband was taken away by an official. Such earth-shaking changes made her feel helpless and at a loss. She couldn't understand why God was still teasing her when she was already living the life she dreamed of.
Yesterday, her son was arrested. She and her husband went to the Xu Mansion. Unexpectedly, the son-in-law who was so kind to them suddenly changed his face. Not only was his sarcastic words not enough, he also ordered his subordinates to drive them out. While they were confused, the official came to arrest them again.
People.
If it was really the son-in-law who framed their family, how could they escape?
Li Cuier was greatly shocked and murmured to herself: "How could this happen? Why did this happen? It would have been better if I had not come to the capital..."
Money and wealth may be lost in an instant, and her husband and son are facing imprisonment. Li Cuier, who has been addicted to the smoke and clouds of wealth, finally wakes up and regrets it.
However it was already too late.
Ye Zhenzhen, who had lost her little mood and compassion, was indifferent to her pity. As the saying goes, poor people must be hateful. Their second wife was pitiful, so who would pity the Cui family who was innocently affected?
Ye Zhenzhen asked her to send her back, and then went to the Zhou Mansion to inquire about the news.
Zhou Shaoqing happened to come back from Dali Temple and brought very bad news——
Ye Shiming did have a lot of fertile land and refugees under his name. The origin of these fertile lands was a bit abnormal. They were all fertile lands that were bullied by local gangsters and sold at low prices, and finally ended up in Ye Shiming's hands.
Ye Shiming was not engaged in production. He bought fertile land and naturally lacked the manpower to farm it. I don't know if he listened to the instigation of some of his friends, so he specially snatched some refugees who had been returned to their native places and gave them to his current people.
Emperor Xuanwu and Cui Weizhen tried every possible means to get the powerful and aristocratic families to release them. Ye Shiming was better off just sitting back to reap the benefits and detaining the refugees they had released. All the efforts of the court were equivalent to marrying people like him.
Clothes.
Such arrogant and domineering behavior is more serious than buying and selling refugees!
The imperial decree comes first, and Ye Shiming is equivalent to knowing the law and breaking the law, which is a blatant provocation and disrespect to the imperial court. Not to mention that he is Cui Weizhen's relative, even if he is a relative of the emperor, Emperor Xuanwu will not tolerate this kind of behavior.
This trend cannot last long, otherwise everyone will follow the same example. The refugees have just emerged from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. They will not be willing to respond to the call to return home in the future. Wouldn't the imperial court be busy in vain?
Coupled with his status as Cui Weizhen's maternal relative, the influence will be even worse. If not handled properly, it will be extremely easy to cause a backlash from public opinion.
Ye Zhenzhen's heart sank. When she heard the last sentence, she was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Zhou Shaoqing looked unbearable, but continued to speak: "The above is not the worst news. The worst thing is that these fields and servants are not under Ye Shiming's name, but under the name of your grandfather Ye Boshan. You know
What does it mean?"
This means that both Ye Shiming and Ye Boshan are guilty, and Ye Boshan is already over sixty. There is a law in this dynasty that if someone is sixty years old, his crime will not lead to death. The father's debt will be paid by the son, and the son will bear the blame.
The son who has been married is usually the eldest son, and Ye Zhenzhen's father, Ye Dayong, is the eldest son of Ye Boshan.
Ye Zhenzhen wanted to understand this and could no longer control the shock and anger in her heart. Her eyesight went dark and she fainted completely.
