Chapter 40 Compromise

"Okay! I'll give you face! I can't burn the prison hall! But Ye Xiaotian must die!" Zhang Yuhan stared at Junting with his red eyes: "This is my biggest concession! Yu Jianzhou, don't force me to fight to the death!"

Yu Junting frowned slightly, and she was also very annoyed by the ignorant Ye Xiaotian. She really wanted to chop him up and feed him to the dog before she could relieve her hatred. However, she had an inexplicable appreciation and favor for Ye Xiaotian's bold behavior.

Yu Junting was not a stable person at heart, otherwise she would not have been ambitious to replace the Zhang family with her daughter and make the Yu family the number one chieftain in Tongren. Therefore, Yu Junting actually felt a little sympathetic about Ye Xiaotian's stupid behavior of challenging the five powerful people with his humble strength, and even... admired him!

With one's own strength, she challenged a powerful opponent to achieve a goal that was impossible for everyone to achieve... In Ye Xiaotian, she seemed to see her own shadow. This contradictory mentality made her feel very uncomfortable.

Yu Junting's slight loss made Zhang Yuhan even more dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "Yu Jianzhou, what do you want to say?"

Yu Junting calmed down his chaotic thoughts and slowly replied: "Ye Xiaotian cannot die! At least... he cannot die now!"

Xiang’s father asked: “What does Yu Jianzhou mean? Do you want to protect Ye Xiaotian?”

Yu Junting said: "Ye Xiaotian was killed first and then reported, and he had violated the laws of the king. He would eventually die. He was the imperial official, so why not kill him with the sword of the court? A person who should have died. If you imitate Ye Xiaotian and beheaded by illegally, Ye Xiaotian was a miserable official after all. What would the court think if his children were beaten by themselves. It would be impossible for others to do anything. Do you think if Ye Xiaotian was executed by you by lynching, would the emperor who had just taken power think this was a great offense to him?"

Wu's father sneered: "So what? Will the emperor brazenly raise troops for Ye Xiaotian?"

Yu Junting said: "Although the emperor did not raise troops to attack this, it would be unhappy for us after all."

Zhang Yuhan said: "I don't care!"

Yu Junting said coldly: "I care!"

Zhang Yuhan raised the torch in his hand again and said in a deep voice: "Then we have nothing to talk about?"

Yu Junting also raised his hand and signaled the archer to prepare. He sneered: "You try!"

Dai Chonghua hurriedly came forward to smooth things over and said, "Zhang Tushe, you have lost your beloved son. I understand the grief of your heart. But you might as well think about it. If you really killed Ye Xiaotian on the spot, it would be of little benefit to the Zhang family? Will the emperor think that the chieftains of Tongren Mansion are too arrogant and the court is too arrogant? Even if the court does not raise troops, punishment is inevitable. Let's detain Ye Xiaotian for the time being and complain to the court, are you still afraid that he will not die? It's just a matter of dying early and dying late, so why bother with it for a while?"

Children are important, but the interests of the family are still above the children, and even above their own personal life and death. This is a concept that people in the big family believed at that time. Dai Chonghua started with the interests of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yuhan was indeed shaken after hearing this.

He suddenly thought that Yu Junting was supported by the chieftains of Tongren. He already had the strength to surpass the Zhang family. If the emperor was unhappy at this time, the Yu family would take the opportunity to operate. It is hard to say that the emperor would not go with the flow, denounce the Zhang family, and protect the Yu family. If that were the case, it would be a heavy blow to the Zhang family.

Yu Junting actually knew that if Zhang Yuhan was allowed to burn the prison hall and kill Ye Xiaotian, she would fan the flames behind her back. It would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, and the Yu family would naturally take over. However, there were many cheating on this. If the two weighed each other, they might not be able to gain profit.

First of all, letting Zhang Tushe do this seriously damage her prestige. She just used the "forced palace" to destroy the prestige of the Zhang family in one fell swoop. Many chieftains who did not vassal the Yu family were a little suspicious, but they just mistakenly thought that the silence of others was to suspicion.

At this time, a place where the Zhang family had no real power jumped out and could ignore her existence. She was helpless in the burning hall and killing the magistrate. So, what would the chieftains who were swaying and going with the flow think? Will they think that the Zhang family's strength is still there? After all, Yu Junting is a girl, she is not brave enough and has limited strength, and she can't do anything to the Zhang family at all?

On the contrary, it can further enhance her prestige in the hearts of the chieftains of Tongren. She can convince the five powerful people and let them follow their instructions and act obediently. And they are all powerful people of the Zhang family. This is an excellent opportunity to intimidate people.

At the same time, she had a detailed plan to further attack the Zhang family. In this case, there was no need for her to take risks to change the plan and take advantage of this sudden opportunity to take the lead. As soon as Emperor Gaozong of Tang died, someone encouraged Wu Zetian to ascend the throne, but Wu Zetian always maintained his identity as an empress dowager until he killed many opponents of the Li family one by one, and then he became emperor. She also had this patience.

Of course, there is also her favor for Ye Xiaotian who has "persistence and determination to complete it" in her heart, but even she herself did not realize this.

Dai Chonghua is a very good lobbyist. He had previously successfully convinced Ye Xiaotian, who was like a stubborn donkey, to agree to mediate, but now he actually hit the point and convinced Zhang Yuhan, who was like a mad cow.

Dai Chonghua exclaimed his lips and continued, "Ye Xiaotian violated the law, so he will be imprisoned for the time being. Isn't it a punishment to let him live longer and die in fear?"

Zhang Yuhan moved intently, thought for a while, and slowly replied: "Okay! But, the Criminal Department belongs to..."

Dai Chonghua frowned and said, "Zhang Tushe, you won't really kill everyone in the prison hall, right? If this happens, it will be too much of a stir!"

Zhang Yuhan insisted: "As long as the Criminal Department has not participated in the harm of my son, they can be let go! But Ye Xiaotian's confidant accomplices must be executed together!"

Dai Chonghua looked at Yu Junting with some embarrassment. Yu Junting didn't want to force them too hard. He thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!"

Zhang Yuhan spat a heavy breath and threw the torch in his hand to the ground, saying, "Okay! Now Ye Xiaotian is still huddling in the lobby, and I want to watch him be arrested and jailed with my own eyes."

Yu Junting glanced at him and said, "Zhang Tushe. This Tongren Mansion Prison is basically your place. If Ye Xiaotian is locked up there, it would be your thing to say in one sentence? What's the point of the official coming out today?"

Zhang Yuhan said angrily: "If you don't go to prison, where do you want to lock him up? Ha! I said today's affairs must be your instructor, and now the fox's tail is indeed exposed."

Seeing that the two were about to turn against each other again, Dai Chonghua quickly jumped out and continued to talk to him: "Two lords, please calm down. Haven't you already agreed? Why did you start arguing again? Why did you start to argue again? Why would you do this? Since Yu Jianzhou is not at ease with the government jail, then put Ye Xiaotian in my Dai family water prison? Dai is responsible for the supervision and will never cause accidents."

Xiang's father smiled and said, "The surname is Dai. Now who doesn't know that you are from Yu Jianzhou. Is there any difference between locking Ye Xiaotian in your mansion and Jie Yu Jianzhou?"

Dai Chonghua said angrily: "Then do you have any good ideas?"

Wu's father jumped out and shouted, "Please lock him in Dabei Temple, and we both send troops to take care of him!"

Dai Chonghua looked at Yu Junting again, Yu Junting smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Mao Wenzhi lay on the window and glanced secretly. The voice was not loud when the two sides discussed, and he couldn't hear clearly, but after the two sides discussed, he saw five powerful servants and servants dragging their injured companions to the side. Because the soldiers brought by Junting separated them from the prison hall lobby.

Mao Wenzhi immediately turned his head and shouted excitedly: "Brother, they were choking on both sides for a long time, but they were already over. I saw that the officers and soldiers had already protected the lobby, but I really didn't see it. The one with the surname Yu, the old lady is quite capable at every family!"

Hua Xueqing was overjoyed and rushed over and said, "I really retreated? I really retreated! We are saved!"

Mao Wenzhi moved to the side, freeing up a seat for him, and said, "It's not a waste of time. Look at it yourself."

Hua Xue carefully exposed her head and glanced out, and immediately shouted happily: "I really retreated, sir, I really retreated."

At this time, Dai Tongzhi's voice came from the door: "Officer Ye, Yu Jianzhou has arrived, you come out and speak!"

Ye Xiaotian was about to instruct his subordinates to move the case, but Li Qiuchi stopped him and asked, "This adult outside the door, don't know what Yu Jianzhou plans to deal with us?"

After a moment of silence outside the door, Dai Chonghua's voice was still: "Officer Ye took action before reporting, violated the national law and was punished. Those who listened to their tragedy should also be taken into custody. The case will be reported to the court and the emperor will judge! Other irrelevant people, Zhang Tushe and others, have agreed not to pursue them."

Li Qiuchi's face suddenly changed. Huaxue, Jiangxue, Zhang and others breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qiuchi said nervously to Ye Xiaotian: "Dongweng, if he wants to arrest us and go there, it will be a lot of danger. Students have seen many cases of taking action in prison."

Dai Chonghua's voice rang out at the right time: "You don't need to worry too much. The Lord of Jianzhou has decided that the perpetrators will not go to the prison. They will be detained in the Dabei Temple. Five Tushes, Yu Jianzhou and our officials will join forces to take care of them. No one will do anything bad."

Li Qiuchi was very suspicious and still disbelief. He looked at Ye Xiaotian nervously and said, "Dongweng, what do you think?"

Ye Xiaotian looked at Hua Xue and others, and he also knew that since he had done such a thing today, it would be impossible to be good. Moreover, as Dai Tongzhi said this, Hua Xue, Jiang Xue and a group of Bo Li constables would inevitably be unable to resist forever. His people alone could not defend the lobby, and now they could only accept Yu Junting's arrangements first.

Ye Xiaotian said: "This is the best arrangement now. I promise them to move the public case and open the door."

Li Qiuchi was waiting for further advice, but Hua Juan and others cheered and rushed over to clear the debris blocked in front of the gate.

Ye Xiaotian's guard Miao came to him and whispered: "The status of an adult is extremely noble. You must not go to prison and take risks. When the door opens, your subordinates will protect the adult and rush out. Lao Jiu has already returned to the mansion to report the news. I guess the horses are ready."

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No, there are not only those five powerful men outside, but also soldiers from Yu Jianzhou. It is impossible to rush out. Now we can only act according to the opportunity. As long as we can not execute it immediately, we will still have a chance."

Ye Xiaotian said, thinking in his heart: "If I really reach a state of death, I can't keep my identity as a venerable, even though they are not Miao, they may not care about me, as a venerable. They should be afraid."

The door had been knocked away. Hua Juan and others moved away the debris, and it took a lot of effort to push the door open. A Bo Li took the lead in walking out tremblingly. Seeing the soldiers standing solemnly and did not move him, she felt relieved. Hua Juan and others walked out with confidence as they saw him.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian pushed away the guard in front of him and strode out. Li Qiuchi walked behind him with a hesitation. When he passed by a corpse on the ground, Li Qiuchi suddenly had an idea. Seeing that the people in front were going out one after another, no one noticed him, he quickly touched the body and applied it to his face, then tilted and lay on the ground.
