When the old woman was about to call people from the Ye family over to ask, she only saw an empty courtyard and a devastated Ye Hengzuo.
Ye Hengzuo is really doubting life now.
He also thought that Xia Po was just angry and left, and he would just apologize and come back after a while.
After all, they had lived together for such a long time, and there were no conflicts. I and the Ye family had always been very polite to Xia Po.
But I didn't expect that Xia Po's departure would trigger such a terrifying chain reaction.
It was only then that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Maybe the Xia family is really finished!
The old woman walked up to Ye Hengzuo with an angry look and asked.
"Those servants have gone off to be lazy, and you are still here doing nothing?"
Ye Hengzuo just looked at the instigator coldly, and then walked straight into his house.
He just wants to be quiet for a while now.
"Did you not hear what I said? Ah! I ask you where everyone has gone! Two more masters are dead. Have you reported them?"
Ye Hengzuo ignored it and continued walking forward.
But the next second, a crutch fell on his shoulder, making a crisp sound.
"I've turned against you! How dare you pretend that you can't hear what I said! Do you know who brought you up before Ye Hengli married into the palace?"
Ye Hengzuo turned his head silently, his expression was frighteningly plain.
He snatched the crutch from the old woman's hand, put it in front of him, broke it hard, and pushed it with his knee.
With a crisp sound, the crutch was split into two.
He threw the crutch away, and then his expression became angry. He no longer wanted to tolerate this old woman.
"Servants? There are no servants anymore! The Ye family is finished! It's all because of you!
You must take in those two damn monks! You must offend Xia Po because of the monks!"
The roar startled the old woman, and when she reacted, she immediately looked heartbroken.
"Yes, yes, when you kids grow up, you will bully my old woman who doesn't know anything and is easy to deceive!
Didn't you just let the servants and others in the family sneak away, then kill the two monks, and then blame the old lady on me, so that I can agree to the return of the outsider Xia Po?
I tell you, it’s impossible, I’ve always disliked him, why can he, an outsider, live in our Ye family, and why should we, the Ye family, be so polite to him?”
The old woman thought she had seen through Ye Hengzuo's tricks, but this would only make Ye Hengzuo even more angry.
"Shut up! Do you think I would lie to you with such a trick! Ye Hengli has been expelled from the palace! The Ye family has nothing to do with the royal family!
Now the Ye family is like a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!"
But even after talking about it, the old woman still didn't believe it.
"Hurry up and call me back! Otherwise I will have to remove your name from the family tree!"
Ye Hengzuo wanted to say something more, but he heard a loud noise from the direction of the door.
Looking over there, several people from the yamen barged in and stood on both sides.
Immediately afterwards, another man in red robes slowly walked in from the middle of the two groups, and said after seeing Ye Hengzuo.
"Are you Ye Hengzuo, the head of the Ye family?"
Ye Hengzuo was a little confused, but still nodded.
Seeing Ye Hengzuo's admission, the man in red robes waved his hand impatiently.
"Take them all!"
So, these people from the yamen rushed into the house and arrested everyone they saw.
Ye Hengzuo, who was pushed to the ground, said angrily.
"What did I do?"
"What's going on? Those of you in the Ye family have all confessed to bribing officials, buying and selling by force, killing people, driving up prices... they have been poisoning the city of Kyoto for more than ten years.
I would like to ask, what has your Ye family not committed?"
After saying that, he waved his hand again.
"Take them all away! If you have anything to say, tell the judge!"
The old woman was dragged to the ground by an acquired warrior and walked towards the door. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem.
She looked at the man in red robe who seemed to be the leader and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Young man, you can't bully an old man like me! Haven't the elders in your family taught you to respect the elderly?"
Upon hearing this, the man in red robe looked in her direction with disgust on his face.
"Do you know who I am? Still here, relying on me to help you grow old?"
As he spoke, he kicked the old woman with his foot.
"You are so arrogant in Kyoto on weekdays. What is the name of the one in your family? Didn't Ye Wuchen make harsh words after killing people some time ago, saying that if he had the ability, he would let people from the Yamen come and arrest him?
Let me tell you, if Master Xia Poxia hadn't lived in your house, we would have wiped out the Ye family long ago.
Even if the queen comes to intercede, it won’t work!”
The man in red robe looked very angry. It could be seen from his actions that the Yamen's tolerance for the Ye family had reached its limit.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are some branches of the Ye family, which simply burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil, and then do things in a very high-profile way, for fear that others will not know that he is a member of the Ye family.
It is estimated that in a few years, even if Xia Po is still in the Ye family, the situation will be like this.
Three days later, Xia Po, who was practicing swordplay in the yard, heard some big news from Xia Sichou.
The Ye family's actions in Kyoto over the years have aroused public indignation, causing many people to rush to complain to the Yamen. The evidence is conclusive, and everyone in the family has been executed.
Although Xia Po was not surprised when he heard this, he was still a little touched.
This must have been done secretly by Liu Quan, otherwise even if the Ye family lost him and the queen, such a big foundation would not collapse in such a short period of time.
And why did Liu Quan do this?
To put it bluntly, it is because of his strength and fame.
Now he is recognized as the best master in the world. With a being like him standing by Liu Quan's side, it will be much easier for Liu Quan to do many things.
Especially in the imperial court, those generals who advocate martial arts have absolute say.
However, what he did did not gain Xia Po's favor, but instead made Xia Po wary of the emperor.
Although it was Xia Po who saved his life and helped him regain the throne.
But to put it bluntly, if the Ye family hadn't risked being executed by the nine clans to bring him back, he would have died long ago.
Therefore, the Ye family and even the queen named Ye were life-saving graces to him.
However, he was so decisive that he destroyed the Ye family and even deposed the queen.
This is too cold-blooded.
It's hard for Xia Po to say what such a person will do in the future.
The last time he heard about the Ye family was from a drinking buddy named Li Buxiang in a tavern.
"Hey, you don't know, as soon as that Xia Po left, the Ye family was finished!
Especially an old woman from the Ye family, it’s so interesting that she was about to be beheaded, and she still said that she wanted to see Xia Po..."
Xia Po could imagine how the old woman finally woke up for a moment before she died, and then cried and shouted to see him.
However, this can be regarded as his own fault. Xia Po does not feel any guilt. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him.
They were all debts owed by the Ye family on a daily basis. Because he left, they just broke out in an instant.
If he had stayed in the Ye family, he would have become a protective shield for evil people.
Li Buxiang shook his head after finishing speaking.
"Old Xia, what kind of person do you think this Xia Po is? Didn't you work for the Xia family in the early years? Have you ever seen him?"
Xia Po shook his head and stood up to leave.
"I'm just a servant, how could I have seen Xia Po?"
"That's right. How could you, a person who has been reluctant to drink even a side dish for many years, meet such a big shot?"
Hearing this, Xia Po, who had his back to Li Buxiang, could only shake his head helplessly and smile without saying a word.
