Chapter 81

Ye Xiaotian was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Mengxiong's words. If Governor Ye hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a word.

Although Emperor Wanli was a little stingy, he did not give him any reward after cooperating with the emperor to eliminate the party, and only gave him a word casually. However, the emperor gave him a word more valuable than giving him a hundred taels of gold and dozens of pieces of silk.

If his official position is high enough, the word "Imperial Gift" will be useless to him. However, for local officials, as long as the word "Imperial Gift" is in hand, once there is a chance of promotion, he will be ahead of all colleagues and be promoted steadily.

Unfortunately, this principle is not universal, at least in Guizhou, not! After Ye Xiaotian came back, he became one of the chieftains. When he thought about it from the chieftain's standpoint, he realized that the word "Yu Gui Biography" was useless to him.

Since most of the chieftains were wary of the court, showing off this would have side effects on him, he never mentioned it. At this time, when Ye Mengxiong said that, Ye Xiaotian remembered this incident.

The chieftains don’t care about the emperor’s words, and they even feel disgusted, but what about the officials? They care! Governor Ye is the officials! Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian was secretly happy and hurriedly bowed again: “Yes! Mu Chen has met Master Futai.”

In front of the Lord Futai, he was called "动" and "动" and "动", this relationship is much closer. This is a ritual for the son and nephew. The chieftains looked at each other. Could it be that Ye Xiaotian had lost his luck and had a relationship with the Lord Futai again? This time he made Guiyang bloody and could actually overcome the difficulties steadily.

Ye Mengxiong laughed and did not talk to Ye Xiaotian anymore, but continued to meet other officials. Ye Xiaotian retreated to the queue, thinking about his thoughts secretly, and suddenly his heart moved and he realized something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked around, but he did not find the Zhan family, Cao family and Zhang family members. Ye Xiaotian felt a little nervous. How could these people not come to welcome the governor? They did not show up and wanted to play any conspiracy.

It took Ye Mengxiong half an hour to meet the powerful people from all sides who came to greet him. Ye Mengxiong warmly held Mr. An and boarded the car together and began to head towards Guiyang City.

The ceremonial guard in front was about to reach the city gate, but suddenly stopped. At this time, Ye Mengxiong's convoy was in front, and all the people who were greeting were behind, so Ye Xiaotian and the others didn't know what was going on. Many people sat on the horse, stretched their necks and looked forward.

The clever man sent the servant to the front to see. After a while, someone learned about the situation and began to whisper. Ye Xiaotian felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't believe that Zhan, Cao, and Zhang's family would have no action. Could it be that they had attacked?

Ye Xiaotian was thinking, when Hua Qingfeng suddenly rode his horse and rushed over from the front, raised his butt on the horse's back and looked around. When he saw Ye Xiaotian at first sight, he quickly waved to him and shouted: "Sir Ye, come forward quickly, Lord Futai summon him!"

People around him who were still unknown were looking at Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian gently beat the drum in his heart, knocked his legs on stirrups, and rushed forward from the middle of the road where the officials dodged.

Ye Xiaotian rushed to Hua Qingfeng. Hua Qingfeng looked concerned and whispered: "You have to be careful. Zhan, Cao and Zhang San's family blocked the city gate and complained to Lord Futai for your malpractice!"

Ye Xiaotian's heart sank. It was them. Ye Xiaotian calmed down and nodded slightly to Hua Qingfeng: "Mr. I'm sorry!"

Ye Xiaotian rushed to the front and saw the situation in front of the car. Sure enough, Zhan, Cao and Zhang's family arrived.

Zhan Long Zhan Tiger wore mourning clothes, and with the same white Zhan family, kneeled straight on the ground, holding the soul-suming banner in his hand. A coffin was stopped in the middle of Zhan Long Zhan Tiger.

In the middle is from the Cao family. Cao Ruiyu is also covered in white and full of tears. There are two coffins on his side, which should be the coffins of Cao Ruixi and Cao Ruiyun.

The one who knelt on the ground on the far left was Zhang Yuhan, and there was also a coffin beside him, so the one that was kept alive was Zhang Yutong's corpse.

There were white flowers in front of the city gate, all of which were covered with filial piety. Many of them were lying on the ground and crying loudly. Some people were throwing paper money downwards, swelling as if heavy snow was everywhere.

A piece of paper money rolled down and floated to Ye Xiaotian's face. Ye Xiaotian turned his head slightly, and the paper money fell on his shoulder. Ye Xiaotian grabbed the paper money in his hand, and threw it hard into a ball, throwing it to the ground.

Zhan Long and Zhan Hu glared at him, but they obviously made up their minds to hand over the problem to the new governor to solve it, so they did not rush up to take action. Ye Xiaotian wanted to ridicule them a few words, but suddenly saw the man kneeling in the right corner behind the coffin raised his head and showed a familiar face.

It was Ning'er. Ning'er was wearing a white body, looking at him with tears in his eyes, as if he was complaining about why he didn't listen to advice and insisted on leaving Guiyang. Ye Xiaotian's heart softened and slowly dissipated his murderous aura.

Hua Qingfeng urged the horse to get off his crotch and ran slowly from him with the pace of the Taiping Horse. He whispered quickly as his figures intertwined, "Don't be impulsive, come forward and meet the governor."

Ye Xiaotian moved away from the eyes of Ning'er and turned to the car. The curtain cage in the car had been raised. Governor Ye and Old Master An were sitting side by side in the car. Governor Ye looked straight ahead with a deep face, while Old Master An looked at him calmly, with a smile in his eyes.

Ye Xiaotian took a long breath, rode his horse to the front of the carriage, pulled his saddle and got off the horse, walked to the carriage, bowed to Ye Mengxiong, and said, "Secretary Ye Muchen, I have met Master Futai."

Ye Mengxiong's face turned gloomy, he pointed forward and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Tell me, what does this mean?"

Ye Xiaotian turned around and glanced at Ye Mengxiong and said, "There are some small conflicts between Xiaguan and Tongren Zhang family, Shiqian Cao family, and Zhan family. Unexpectedly, it was a sin to disturb Lord Futai!"

"A little conflict?"

Ye Mengxiong laughed to the sky and said, "Taosi Zhang Tongren, Cao Tusi, Cao Tushe, Shiqianzhan, you have died one after another. You actually said it was a small conflict? That official wants to ask you, what is a big conflict? You are a good at killing officials, and you will kill four of them at one time, no! I heard that Shiqianyang's chieftain also died at your hands, and killing five imperial officials in a row. What should I do if I am guilty of killing them?"

Ye Xiaotian said calmly: "Report to Lord Futai, even if you only kill one imperial official, it will be a death sentence!"

Ye Mengxiong said sternly: "So you know you are guilty too?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes! If Master Futai wants to know the reason why the Xiaguan had a feud with these four families, the Xiaguan should report it one by one. Just whether it is guilty or not, the Xiaguan is indeed guilty, and the Xiaguan pleads guilty!"

Ye Mengxiong said in a voice: "It's good that you know you're guilty! Come on! Take him down for me!"

Several guards rushed forward and were about to take Ye Xiaotian. Hua Qingfeng felt ecstatic in his heart. He quickly suppressed himself and looked at Ye Xiaotian with a nervous and concerned look.

Ye Xiaotian opened his hands and stopped the soldiers from coming forward and shouted to Ye Mengxiong: "Mr. Futai, the crime of a subordinate official will be punished by the court. The court laws have special regulations on Guizhou. Since Futai is the Futai in this province, he should know about this matter, right?"

Ye Mengxiong was slightly stunned and said, "What did you say?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Fine is for crime! This is the privilege given to the chieftains by the Tian family. Xiaguan is the hereditary commander of Woniu Si and is a chieftain. According to our Ming Dynasty laws, Xiaguan can kill people and can be fined to offset the crime, and Xiaguan is willing to pay the fine!"

Zhan Long, Zhan Hu and Zhang Yuhan, Cao Ruiyu jumped up together and said furiously: "Do you want to pay for the crime with a fine? Even if you hand over a mountain of gold, you can't afford the life of your father (brother, my brother)!"

Zhan Long took a step forward and clasped his fists at Ye Mengxiong and said, "Mr. Futai, there are indeed special cases of the court's laws here. But the law is nothing more than human feelings. The death of my father was neither because of a dispute between the two local peoples, nor because of a temporary quarrel!

Ye Xiaotian killed four chieftains, Shiqian, Yang family, Cao family, Tongren, Zhang family and his father, all because he was ambitious and provoked and tried to invade other people's territory. He used all means. He was cruel and tyrannical to kill people. How could he calm the anger of the people without killing them? How could he punish the crime according to ordinary laws?"

Cao Ruiyu shouted: "How can the crime and the crime of killing one person are compared with the murder? Besides, the person being killed is not an ordinary native citizen, but a chieftain. This identity alone should offset his right to fine for atonement. We are bullied and persecuted by Ye Xiaotian. Please be fair to us!"

Seeing this scene, the powerful people around the center couldn't help but talk. Tong Yun, the head of the Shiqian Tong family, sneered and said loudly: "Bah! Have the ability to do it with real swords and guns! Tong also admires you as a man, and actually asks the court to take charge. It's really unpromising!"

Many people who were watching Ye Xiaotian's jokes changed their positions immediately after hearing this. Ye Xiaotian is a family, you are four families. If you have the ability, you can gather the four families and fight him with real swords and guns! He actually complained to the court, aren't you opening the door and putting a hungry tiger in it!

The chieftains guarded their acres of three-part land and were always very free. They thought Ye Xiaotian was a bad sheep, so of course they wanted to be removed. But if they used the power of the court, wouldn't this behaviour be placed on their heads?

As the wind turned, someone immediately discussed: "Hey! Zhan, Cao, and Zhang's family seemed to have lost their cans!"

"Wang Xiaoer's New Year is getting worse every year!"

"It's okay if Zhan Long Zhan Hu and Cao Ruiyu are young people after all. Zhang Yuhan is so old, he is so ignorant of his importance. He is really getting back to life."

Zhan Long, Zhan Hu, Cao Ruiyu, Zhang Yuhan and others ignored the discussions of these people. They rushed to Ye Mengxiong and knelt down together, crying loudly: "We are in a strange injustice and cannot be snowed. Please ask the Futai University to avenge us and preside over justice for us!"

"Master Qingtian..."

The families of these three families first put a big hat on Ye Mengxiong, and then started to cry one after another. This was the city gate. Although the road had been blocked for Lord Futai to pass, when the trouble came here, the people in the city came to hear the news, and even the city walls were full.

Zhan, Cao, and Zhang, the three cobblers of the three families, took a lot of geniuses to come up with such an idea. Although they were a little depressed, they were very effective. This situation is indeed a serious test for Ye Mengxiong, who had just taken office.

If Ye Mengxiong cannot solve this perfectly, even if the chieftain Wang An comes to help him "carry the sedan chair", he will lose his reputation. Once the majesty is lost, it will be difficult to find it again.

Moreover, if the invisible weapon is used well, it will have an additive effect on a person, but if it is not used well, it will have a deterioration effect. If most of the chieftains respect him and there are a few rebellious people left, it will be much easier if they want to train them. If most of the chieftains do not take him seriously, they are afraid that this famous minister in his lifetime will fail in Guizhou.

Zhan, Cao and Zhang families calculated this accurately and "carried the coffin and forced the palace" to force him to use Ye Xiaotian to establish his authority. Ye Mengxiong sat in the car, and in full view of everyone, he also knew that this was the critical moment for him to take office in Guiyang.
