Chapter 83
When Ye Xiaotian heard what the governor said, he immediately turned to Ye Mengxiong in a regular manner and said, "Secretary of the lower officials obey the order! Everything the lower officials said is true. Although the lower officials have executed five evil young men under the court's laws, the five evil young men are not qualified to pay the crime, but the lower officials are OK. I beg the Lord Fu Tai to uphold justice for the lower officials!"
Cao Ruiyu smiled sadly and walked up to him and said, "Justice? You say justice in front of us! If you want justice, who will uphold justice for us?"
Cao Ruiyu turned to Ye Mengxiong, knelt down on the ground with a "bang" and said sadly: "Master Futai, if you do not punish the stubborn today, the officials will not accept it if they die!"
"If you don't punish the stubborn people seriously, the officials will not accept it!" Zhang Yuhan raised his robe and knelt down. Zhan Long and Zhan Hu followed suit, and knelt down one by one in front of Ye Mengxiong. When the children and nephews of the families in the hall saw it, they immediately knelt down with a loud bang and shouted in grief.
The Three Divisions, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the officials and gentry looked at Ye Mengxiong, and Ye Mengxiong suddenly felt heavy pressure. It would be impossible for him to not deal with this matter. As long as he shirked the blame for the case, he would push out his majesty and dignity.
If he used a procrastination method, although the case could be delayed, his new atmosphere of taking office would be denied. It would be easier for him to gather so many powerful people here again. What will spread then will be this Futai Master who is in a state of corpse, which is not to be afraid. His so-called great reputation is nothing more than a rumor.
When everyone disobeys the situation, he will have to spend ten times more effort to regain his reputation. If he shirks the blame, such as handing over to the Criminal Division, which specializes in legal litigation, or discussing with the four heavenly kings, it will be even more ridiculous.
The three members of the chieftain family have reported the case to you, but you dare not take responsibility. Why did you come to Guiyang? How to do it?
What Ye Xiaotian said seems to be very reasonable, but if Ye Mengxiong is really as he said and asked him to pay a fine, it would not actually solve any problem.
Those three families are completely unacceptable. Since you, Governor Ye, agrees with this solution, then you! No need to worry about it. The three of us join forces to attack Woniuling and kill Queen Ye Xiaotian, at most, we can pay a ransom! If Woniuling does not accept the ransom, then they can kill them again. In this way, wouldn’t Governor Ye become a decoration?
But what if Ye Xiaotian was punished by the three miserables and let him pay his life for his life? What a joke! It is said that Ye Xiaotian's subordinates were all born in the mountains and were always unruly. Governor Ye has been through the battlefield for a long time. He is a literati who has been handsome, but he is not afraid of this, but... why did he fight? In order to allow these chieftains to continue to occupy their territory steadily?
The attitude of the court towards Guizhou was actually divided into several factions. To describe it in modern terms, it was mainly divided into hawks and doves. The doves advocate appeasement and adopted a pacification policy as usual to ensure that Guizhou was under the banner of the court.
However, the hawks believed that the times changed, and now they are different from the Han and Tang dynasties. The court has the conditions and should also expand its influence and implement direct rule on these countries. It is the general trend to change the land and return to the current situation, and Ye Mengxiong is a member of the hawks.
Whether Guizhou is stable or not has always been a sensitive question in the eyes of the court. This time Ye Mengxiong was able to be transferred to Guizhou as governor, which was due to the young emperor's great ambitions, and on the other hand, it was also the result of the hawks' hard work.
Governor Ye of Guizhou has his own plans. A promising shit stick like Ye Xiaotian will let him continue to stir up trouble, and the court will have a chance. If you have an excuse, chop him up and burn it as firewood, isn’t that a waste!
Before Ye Mengxiong came here, he knew that the Ye Xiaotian case would be a major challenge for him. He had already made some plans in his mind, but how to make the development of things naturally develop according to his wishes cannot be planned in advance.
At this time, Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard and frowned and thought deeply. Others thought that the Futai Lord could not decide on how to judge the case, but he did not know that Ye Futai had already thought about the result of the handling. Now he had to consider how to reasonably deduce the result.
At this time, a yamen runner on duty quickly walked into the lobby and said to Ye Mengxiong on one knee: "Report to Lord Futai, a woman came to the yamen, claiming to be an important witness to this case. I requested to come to the court to testify."
"Hmm?" Ye Mengxiong was thinking secretly, but had not come up with a good idea. Suddenly, he heard that there was an important witness and immediately became excited and ordered: "Take her up right now!"
Ye Mengxiong heard the yamen runners' comments and immediately guessed that the woman who claimed to be a witness must have brought news that was beneficial to Ye Xiaotian.
The reason is very simple. The people who suddenly attacked today were Zhan, Cao and Zhang families. They had already made some plans and must concentrate their firepower to kill Ye Xiaotian in one fell swoop. If they had any trump card, they would have shown it. No matter how stupid they were, they would not regard the witness that could attack Ye Xiaotian as a secret weapon, and they had to hold on to such a stalemate before taking it out.
In a moment, the yamen runner led a young woman wearing a faint head into the lobby. Although the officials judging in the hall and the powerful and powerful people who were listening below could not see her appearance, just looking at her figure and gait, she was filled with energy.
What does it mean to fold the waist with a small step? That's it! What does it mean to present the white wrist in the gauze? That's it! This woman came into the hall slowly, like a gentle spring breeze. When she walked slowly, the "lightly exposed" gauze and the charming curves that twisted the clothes slightly, like a wonderful freehand painting, which attracted imagination and endless aftertaste.
"Xu Shu" couldn't sit still and stood up in a flash: "Why are you here?" Tian Miaowen glanced at the fussy brother, but did not answer the conversation, but gave Ye Mengxiong Yingying, saying: "Miaowen, a daughter of the Tian family, has met Master Futai."
Miss Tian’s family? Then it’s okay to not give a greeting. Ye Mengxiong swallowed the question and raised his right hand and said, “Miss Tian’s tribute, little tribute. Just now, the yamen runners said that Miss Tian is an important witness to this case?”
"Not bad! In the court, Miaowen naturally dared not lie!" Tian Miaowen said, stretching out her hand to take off the "shallow dew". Ye Mengxiong suddenly felt her eyes lit up. Although Guizhou is remote, it is clear and elegant, and only by the beautiful scenery can we raise such a beautiful woman.
Most of the powerful people present knew Tian Miaowen, who didn't know her at first, and they also met her in An Mansion last time. They used herself as a reward to chase the life of the chieftain Zhan. Who wouldn't remember her if she had seen her?
Ye Mengxiong said: "So, who should Miss Tian give evidence?"
Tian Miaowen said: "Miaowen is the proof of the Chief Woniu Director Ye Xiaotian!"
Ye Mengxiong said: "What is it proving?"
Tian Miaowen said: "It proved that Ye Xiaotian killed someone in order to defend himself, and he had to do it!"
The hall suddenly felt an uproar, but the uproar had just boiled and suddenly stopped. After everyone calmed down, they asked themselves, and they were also wondering what they were excited just now.
Everyone knows about Tian Miaowen. This is a hot topic that has lasted for more than a month in Guiyang City. Even the temple of the Taoist temple, which has no incense in Longmenao 30 miles east of the city, knows. Tian Miaowen comes to prove that Ye Xiaotian is killing people in self-defense. What's so surprised?
Ye Mengxiong looked at Tian Miaowen with interest and said, "Oh? Then let me tell you why Ye Xiaotian killed someone by himself."
Tian Miaowen told everyone about the entire Guiyang City, but Governor Ye said again: Zhan Boxiong was not practicing, how could he be so mean to her, how did he send someone to chase her after the failure to protect his reputation, how did Ye Xiaotian save him, how did the two hide in the barren mountains? Zhan Boxiong was in his heart, and set up an ambush in Huaxi to kill Ye Xiaotian...
Just saying this only explains the grudges between Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Boxiong, and it cannot involve the Zhang and Cao families. But Miss Tian is such a person. Since she has come forward, there is no reason to waste opportunities.
Miss Tian didn't speak much, but she was well organized. She immediately told the story of Ye Xiaotian leading the crowd out of the mountain and making a bet with Zhang Yi, and the reason and motive for the Zhang family to plow and plow for a day were immediately revealed.
Then Miss Tian told me that Cao Ruixi helped Yang Xianmin, the second brother of the Yang family, fought for power, and then became greedy for Shu. When Ye Xiaotian returned to the mountain to resolve the dispute in the village, he seized Ye Xiaotian's territory, but Ye Xiaotian regained his territory after he came out of the mountain again.
As a result, the Cao family had a reason to make a grudge with Ye Xiaotian, and the process of telling this time was a little longer. However, men would always be more patient with beautiful women. Even a gentleman like Ye Mengxiong could not avoid the vulgarity. If a woman had such a rash, he would have long slapped the auspicious tree and drank it and "just talk about things related to this case", but the person who spoke was Miss Tian, who was so beautiful, which was another matter.
Tian Miaowen finally said: "So, in Huaxi that day, just as the Zhang, Cao and Zhan families joined forces today, the Zhang and Cao and Zhan families joined forces to assassinate Ye Xiaotian!"
Zhan Long yelled: "You are talking nonsense, this is all your one-sided words!"
Tian Miaowen said: "Is it nonsense? They know it in their hearts. It's a pity that they are lying in the coffin and cannot answer this question! But, what is this girl? If it weren't for the facts, would the Tian family girl come forward to prove her reputation?"
Zhan Hu said: "Of course there is! You once announced in public in An Mansion that as long as Ye Xiaotian killed my father, you would marry him! Now that my father is dead, you have a engagement with him. Can you still count your testimony?"
Ye Xiaotian, who had not said anything, jumped out at the right time: "Hey, hey, Zhan Lao Er, what you said is wrong! When Miss Tian said this, there was no engagement between us. Here is a question of first and later. Why did Miss Tian promise to be a lifelong man on the condition of killing Ling Zun? There is also a relationship between cause and effect, so the problem comes..."
"Bang!"
Ye Xiaotian is not a beauty, so he is not treated as a beauty. The Master Futai really doesn't want to listen to his longing. Ye Futai slapped the givel hard and interrupted him immediately!
