Ye Mengxiong grabbed the gavel and immediately calmed down in the court. Everyone knew that the governor had to make a decision. Ye Mengxiong slowly raised the givel and slapped it with little force but very decisively: "Bang!"

Ye Mengxiong said, "Now, check the case of Ye Xiaotian killing Zhang Yuhan, Cao Ruixi, Cao Ruiyun, and Zhan Boxiong. Ye Feng has pleaded guilty in court and confessed his crimes. Ye Feng is the chief Woniu Director. He can have bought a ransom based on the Telu in Guizhou. But..."

Ye Mengxiong changed his voice and said, "If you have money to buy it, what are the concerns about wealthy families? Isn't the laws of the emperor and the country specially set for the poor? This law is not in line with feelings and is unreasonable! The son of a thousand gold died suddenly on the road, which is the atmosphere of the last chaotic times, not in the prosperous holy dynasty..."

When the chieftains heard this, the people who could understand it became a little uneasy: "What does the governor mean? Isn't it that I want to use this reason to abolish our privileges?"

In fact, although the chieftains are domineering, they rarely kill people at will. Especially as the most important member of the family, the eldest son of the legitimate clan has been taught and restrained by Yan Jin since childhood. Instead, they are not as good as the dandy children and are not very good at causing trouble.

But whether the "Golden Medal of Immortality" is one thing or not. If you want to take it back, he will always be reluctant to let it go. As for Ye Mengxiong's public claim that the law that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang approved was neither inconsistent nor reasonable, it is nothing.

The atmosphere is not as good as back then. There are many ministers who scolded the emperor in front of him. What's the point behind his back that "the emperor did this matter unreasonable". Besides, how could Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to grant the privileges of local officials in Guizhou back then?

Ye Mengxiong said: "So, if you only pay for the crime with a fine, it will not conform to the will of heaven and the lower part will not meet the public opinion. If you can buy a thousand gold coins, wouldn't it be possible for a county to be slaughtered? Moreover, Ye is the leader of a place, and the harm of the leader of three parties is the leader of the three parties, and the impact is even greater!"

Those uneducated toast masters were already dizzy when they heard Ye Futai say this. However, now it is not the time to ask others, so they have to prick up their ears and continue listening. It is a few words to be understood. As for those who are well educated, they are also confused by Ye Futai and do not understand what he is going to say.

Ye Mengxiong said: "I used to pay the stage to weigh the pros and constrain Ye's murder, and the ransom must be paid, and the crime cannot be forgiven. However, the law is reasonable or not, and it will not be abolished. Also, the cause of the case is because Zhang, Cao and Zhan families have always had grudges with them. After being witnessed by Miaowen, the daughter of Tian family, and Xuanwei Yang of Bozhou, it proved that the murdered Zhang, Cao and Zhan families had planned to assassinate Ye's crime first, so they were lightly deposed and planned to imprison Ye for life!"

"Lifelong imprisonment?"

Those who are cultured but not cultured, understand this sentence, and there was a sudden riot in the court. Zhang Yuhan, Zhan Long and others were still a little angry. If our relatives die, can he live well?

However... life imprisonment means going to be in jail for a lifetime, which is not very unacceptable. Moreover, once he is in jail and after a year or two, he will only spend a small amount of money to die. In this way, it will be even more acceptable.

Those who regard Ye Xiaotian as a bad sheep will inevitably gloat. A little toad who has just been appointed dared to be so arrogant. Now it is still relying on the privileges our ancestors have won for the chieftains to save you from dying. But... it feels bad to suffer alive?

As for the chieftains who have close ties with the Yang family, Song family, and Tian family, they couldn't help but turn their attention to the representatives of these three families. How should they express their opinions at this time, and also look at the meaning of these families.

When Yang Yinglong heard Ye Mengxiong say this, he couldn't help but change his color and was imprisoned for life? If Ye Xiaotian was imprisoned for life, what tricks would he have to play with?

Ye Xiaoan can only be used to replace it after Ye Xiaotian built a huge force. Now he still needs to use Ye Xiaotian's sword to grab territory and expand his population. Ye Xiaoan can't do these things!

Even if Yan Shiwei assisted him, even sent his think tank Tian Xifeng, it would not work! You should know that the Ye force was simply unstable at this time, and it was completely maintained by Ye Xiaotian's personal charm.

Just like the once mighty Emperor Temuer, when he was alive, his imperial army was invincible, and he fought wherever he pointed. Once he died, the huge empire immediately collapsed because his empire did not have a perfect power structure and was controlled entirely by the charm of the leader.

If Ye Xiaotian was gone, all the heroes gathered under Ye Xiaotian would immediately disperse.

When Tian Miaowen heard that Ye Xiaotian was going to be sentenced to life imprisonment, her heart suddenly sank, and then she thought: "Forget it, it's a good situation to not die. At worst, I can use my dead soldiers and join forces with Ye Xiaotian's best friend to rob him of prison and save him, and avoid him in the mountains."

Old Master An raised his white eyebrows slightly, and his old eyes turned slightly under his eyes. The old face had no expression at all, and he didn't even move his wrinkles.

The advantage of Governor Ye's treatment is that it can calm the anger of Zhang, Zhan and Cao families and establish the reputation that Governor Ye has established as soon as he arrived in Guizhou. However... Governor Ye is a soldier-minded person. Has he not inquired about Ye Xiaotian's background?

Among the chieftains, Ye Xiaotian is not the most powerful, but he is the most difficult to deal with. Doing so, Lord Futai left a big hidden danger for himself. Is this what a capable minister like Ye Mengxiong would do?

Old Master An narrowed his eyes again...

Governor Ye had not finished speaking. He glanced slightly and saw the changes in everyone's expressions. Then he said: "It was found that Ye was named hereditary chieftain because he guided the mountain people to move outside the mountain, surrendered to the court, accepted education, and made great contributions. Education was a great merit and should not be abandoned halfway. The mountain people were unruly and could not lose supervision. Therefore, this official will take his post and supervise his department until the court makes a choice. This judgment!"

Ye Mengxiong slapped the gavel again, and the verdict ended with a final say. His verdict was over. The jury and all the local officials who were heard were blown up.

When Old Master An heard this, a smile appeared on his face, just a smile, and even he wanted to laugh in his heart, and then he took it away.

Yang Yinglong's back had already left the seat and was about to get up and argue for Ye Xiaotian. When he heard this, he suddenly relaxed and leaned his back back on the chair.

When Tian Miaowen heard this, her eyes immediately looked at Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian glanced at Ye Mengxiong with a sneer on her face: "Hey! You are old, you want to lock me up, and you also want to take over all my troops and territory. Your abacus is more refined than Tian's abacus..."

When he thought of Tian Supan, he couldn't help but look at Tian Miaowen and found that Tian Miaowen was also looking at him, with a smile in his eyes. Ye Xiaotian was slightly stunned and a little unhappy: "I'm going to be locked up. Why are you so happy? If you don't want to marry, just say it straight, Ye Xiaotian is not a slander. Look at me being locked up so happy? Do you have a conscience? Wait..."

After all, Ye Xiaotian was not stupid, and finally realized something was wrong. After thinking about it, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

When Tian Miaowen looked at him, she saw him look disappointed and knew that he had not yet understood Ye Futai's profound meaning. She couldn't help but feel a little funny: "This is really a mystery to the authorities. Haven't you always been conceited and smart? Why can't you guess Ye Mengxiong's scheming?"

However, at the same time, she was a little proud. There were not many places where she could compare to Ye Xiaotian. Now her brain reaction was faster than him. Miss Tian was very happy. Looking at Ye Xiaotian's eyes again, she knew that Ye Xiaotian finally understood.

None of the four major toasts is fool. Even if some of them are not so talented, such a large family will do everything they can to train, and have taken over such a large family for a long time to practice, their knowledge and strategy will be better than others.

At this time, the four of them had guessed Ye Mengxiong's intentions one after another, so they sat as if they were assured. Among other local officials, there were also smart people, and some of them guessed Ye Mengxiong's intentions, although only a few. However, whether it was guessed by these few or the vast majority who had not guessed, there were all in a fierce mood at this time.

Ye Xiaotian is neither my son nor my son. I don’t care whether he is dead or alive. But what does it mean to be Ye Futai in charge of his subordinates? Leave a pretty and generous words, you, a miserable official, isn’t this a different way to seize the power of our local officials?

How much we fight is our own business. No matter how fierce the fight is, this piece of meat is rotten in our own pot. You Governor Ye is a free official. As long as you set this precedent, wouldn’t you be able to find fault with us in the future, and then seize the post and occupy land after investigation, and turn the country passed down by our ancestors into the Zhu family without any bloodshed?

Conspiracy? Open conspiracy? No matter what scheme, no matter whether you can guess or not, you must oppose Ye Mengxiong’s original intention! You must strongly oppose it, and you must thwart Governor Ye’s sinister intentions and must not hesitate.

Cao Zhan and Zhang Sanjia chieftains died injustice. Who cares about it? This is a matter of principle and must not give in. The chieftains who have been listening to the trial cannot help but shout: "Master Futai, this judgment is inappropriate!"

"It's unfair to decide a case! It's unfair to decide a case~"

Someone raised his arms and shouted, Zhang Yuhan, Zhan Long, Zhan Hu and others glared at him: "What is injustice in the case? Are you talking for Ye Xiaotian?"

"Miss Tian, ​​haven't Tusi Yang proved to Chief Ye? It's understandable that the sentence for life imprisonment is too serious. Please think twice about Futai University!"

"If you kill someone, you will have to pay for your life! Lord Futai should kill Ye Xiaotian simply, we will support you wholeheartedly!"

Someone next to him whispered: "Shut up! Who cares if Ye Xiaotian is not dead? Woniuling must not fall into Ye Futai's hands!"

The man dissatisfied and retorted: "What do you know? I haven't finished talking yet!" Then he shouted to Ye Mengxiong: "Please ask the court for an order, split the Woniuling into several pieces, and divide it into the Zhang family and the Yu family."

"Are you sick? Why should you give it to them? According to the rules, the chieftain was deprived of his post and should be inherited by his children, wife, brothers, nephews and nephews in accordance with the rules..."

"Ye Xiaotian has no children!"

"Then it's madam..."

"Ye Xiaotian has no wife, only one concubine."

"Bad! When Ye Xiaotian became a prosecutor, he was a concubine, and when he became a local official, he was a wife. The wife had the power to take charge of his power."

"I heard that Ye Xiaotian has a brother who is not as good as martial arts..."

"Then let his brother be the toast! By the way, how do you know Ye Xiaotian so well?"

"Hehe! I am Ding Hongdong of Dawanshansi."

"Oh, it turns out it was the magistrate of Hongdong, who was disrespectful..."

This room was whispering again and speaking generously to the Futai Lord. The whole lobby was in chaos. Ye Mengxiong seemed to have known that this judgment would definitely have poked a hornet's nest as soon as it was released. He was not anxious or impatient and calm.

Mr. An glanced at Yang Yinglong and the others, and knew that he was time to speak, so he slowly said, "Master Futai..."

As soon as Mr. An opened his mouth, the entire lobby suddenly calmed down. Governor Ye's judgment touched all the chieftain's reverse scales, which was the most fundamental interest that must not be offended. King of chieftain could not be calm, let's see what he said.

Mr. An said slowly: "Ye Xiaotian is naturally guilty. I also agree that the governor punishes him, otherwise he will indulge him and everyone will follow suit. Wouldn't it be a peace of mind? Cough, cough cough..."

Mr. An coughed twice and said slowly: "But I think it is still up to be discussed how to sentence him."

Ye Mengxiong looked at An Guowei with a smile and said, "Oh? Then what should Mr. An think?"

Mr. An waved his hand and said, "Hey! This is the power of Master Futai. How dare I interfere with it? I have been in Guizhou for a long time and are familiar with the customs and cultural relics in various parts of Guizhou. I think the people of Woniuling are originally savages in the mountains, not educated, and do not know the laws of the king, so it is difficult to control them.

Futai University is a master of both civil and military affairs, and naturally he is a generation of heroes. However, if you want to tame them, it is very different from commanding soldiers and generals. When Futai University first arrived in Guizhou, he was busy with all his affairs. Once he was involved in the Woniuling incident, he might miss the big thing. I am so proud of Futai University. Since I know the details of the place and the people, how dare I tell the truth?”

Mr. An means that if you make such a judgment, there will be trouble. No! But how should you judge? You make your own decision. I know how to judge, so how can I have the nerve to steal your limelight and your majesty. I said beautifully, but if he disagrees, he has already rejected it.

Ye Mengxiong narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, sighed, and looked at Ye Xiaotian with some pain: "You can lead the mountain savages who are not convinced of education to submit to the court. The emperor is very happy. The emperor gave you the word "Mu Chen" and he has high hopes for you. You have a heart of shame!"

Ye Xiaotian quickly lowered his head "very ashamed" and expressed his sincere repentance to Emperor Wanli who was in the capital.

Ye Mengxiong shook his head and said, "My Ming Dynasty is the emperor and the scholars and officials rule the world together, while Guizhou is the emperor. The scholars and officials and officials govern it together. I will not ignore your opinions. Mr. An said that he was a senior and upright, and he was the master of the country and was like a stream of good deeds. The judgment was as follows:

From the date of the judgment, Ye Xiaotian will repay the Zhang family of Tongren, Cao family of Shiqian, and Zhan family of 5,000 taels of silver. Ye Xiaotian can designate one person to take charge of his land, and the Benfu sent someone to escort it to the capital. How to deal with it will be decided by the emperor!"

"There is wise to help the Taiwan Strait!"

“So great!”

Before Zhan Long and Zhan Hu had time to protest, the local officials who were hearing the trial had already responded. Zhang Yuhan was older and more steady than them. Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, the focus of concern for the chieftains had completely shifted, and it would be useless to argue, so he winked at Cao Ruiyu, Zhan Long and others.

Ye Mengxiong stared at Ye Xiaotian and asked in a deep voice: "Ye Xiaotian, can you accept the verdict?"

Ye Xiaotian, who was bowing his head to "repentance", quickly raised his head: "Ye was convinced!"

Ye Mengxiong nodded and said, "Okay! From now on, you will not be free. You must be detained in the prison until you are escorted to Beijing. Who should you designate who will take charge of the Wo Niu Shi during your visit to Beijing to beg for crimes? Now you can say it in public. This official will send someone to convey it on your behalf!"

"Who is the one who takes care of the Niu Si for me?"

Ye Xiaotian thought: "As long as my fate is not determined for a day, the complex personnel composition of Woniuling can remain stable. In this way, it is okay to designate who will take over Woniuling. But... after I leave, will the Zhang family, Zhan family and Cao family wait for the court's judgment on me in peace? It would be strange if they don't fight Woniuling while I am away.

Let the elder brother take over his position temporarily? No, he even operates a oil mill that is sure to make a profit and is in debt. Donnie? That girl..., hey! That girl is good at Baotang, and she has to be fun in the boudoir. As for controlling the heroes, let's forget it.

If this person is brave and resourceful, he must be able to keep the scene alive. Li Dazhang and Yun Fei save it. Junting is the best candidate, but she is already pregnant and should not be too hard. Moreover, how deep the relationship between the Yu family and my Ye family is, it is really not suitable for people to know now.

Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly moved and turned to Tian Miaowen. When his body moved, Tian Miaowen felt something was wrong and quickly wanted to hide. She took two steps back. Ye Xiaotian had already stood up to her, pointed at her and said, "I don't have to worry about the Lord of Taiwan, I will tell you that the person I chose is her!"
