Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Turning of the Front
Just when Jiu Wentian didn't know how to answer, a subordinate came over at this time, and then said to Xiao Lebang: "Lord Xiao, this is the token that Chief Manager Cao asked me to hand over to you." ”
The subordinate took out two golden tokens from his arms and handed them to Xiao Lebang, Xiao Lebang took it and divided it for a long time, and then held up the token and said: "This is the order of the lord of my old city, hold this token as the city lord in person!"
When the people of the Ye family heard this, they all knelt down, but Ye Lan still hesitated to kneel. At this time, Ye Lan also knew very well that Xiao Lebang, who was ordered by the city lord to use his power, would definitely use his power to put him in prison, and once he was imprisoned, the charge would be established, and it would be useless if Ye Yuze came at that time. But if he resists the city lord's order, then he will add an article of disobedience, even if the previous one is not confirmed, this one is enough for him to suffer for a while.
Now Ye Lan regretted going to hide a little, no, he regretted even more that he dug a big hole for himself because he was angry for a while. Ye Lan also knew that he himself had no ability to resist the two envoys in front of him, since they had come to be fully prepared, no matter how much he maneuvered, it would be useless, unless there was conclusive evidence to prove that he was not a murderer.
But the evidence is not easy to talk about, your so-called human and material evidence is all ineffective, even if you don't recruit, then there are also tricks to be beaten. Ye Lan sighed secretly, and lowered her head helplessly.
Xiao Lebang put away the city lord's order and said solemnly: "You all get up, I will take Ye Lan to the prison, if anyone stops it, it will be dealt with according to the sitting!"
This also made Ye Lan's heart fall to the bottom, he was already dead, Ye Yuze has not appeared yet, and it must be because there is no better way. However, this can't be blamed on Ye Yuze, after all, the men of the Ye family were born warriors, and women no longer like books under the influence of this environment.
It can be said that the Ye family is by no means as shrewd as the Cao family, and the Cao family is not as powerful in force as the Ye family in comparison.
Xiao Lebang took out a hemp rope, and Jiu Wentian couldn't help but sigh that he actually brought a rope with him. Xiao Lebang stepped forward very calmly and covered Ye Lan's hands with a rope, this time Ye Lan was more like a criminal, the trapped hand and the desperate expression on his face, no one would think that he might have been wronged. Because the wronged person is absolutely shouting at this time, and such a desperate person has obviously confessed to his crime.
When the rope was tied, a voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Lebang, "Lord Xiao, slow down." ”
Xiao Lebang turned around and found that it was Ye Yuze, and it must have been useless for Ye Yuze to come at this time, so Xiao Lebang was not afraid of him at all, or Xiao Lebang was not afraid of anyone.
Jiu Wentian was a little worried, no matter how Ye Yuze said this, he was also a high-ranking official in the old city, even if he was a small envoy with the city lord's order, it was impossible to hold it for the rest of his life, no matter how he said it, he had to give Ye Yuze a face, otherwise it would be really hard to say who would have a better time in the future.
It's not that Jiu Wentian doesn't have the guts, it's just that he has just become an envoy, and the rules and regulations in it need to be learned step by step, and Xiao Lebang must have his own methods after mixing in the envoys for so many years. Jiang Qiufang couldn't see that there was anything gold in it, but he saw that they were holding up a matter without evidence to arrest the criminal, and it seemed that it was wrong to do so.
But Jiang Qiufang couldn't find any evidence to deny it, so she had to look aside, but she really felt that Ye Lan should not be the murderer. After all, although Ye Lan is a violent person, he is by no means the kind of person who can kill, not to mention that the other party is an iron cloak.
Xiao Lebang smiled at Ye Yuze, and as Ye Yuze got off the horse, Xiao Lebang said, "Lord Ye, what's the matter?"
"I heard that Lord Xiao found the murderer and rushed over, I thought it was a little mouse hidden in my Ye family," Ye Yuze said unhurriedly: "But now it seems that Lord Xiao is saying that my Ye family has become a murderer?"
Of course Ye Yuze will not carry this pot, his Ye family is also a big family in the old city, if he is charged with killing Tie Yi, then his Ye family will never be able to raise his head in the old city. But this Xiao Lebang is going to bite to death and not let go, and Ye Yuze is just a delaying tactic, and it can't play a substantive role at all.
Xiao Lebang said respectfully: "Lord Ye, it's not that the villain said that Elder Ye is the murderer, but the facts are there, and there is nothing the next person can do. If the murderer is not apprehended, the villain is indeed not easy to do, so please ask Lord Ye to forgive the villain. ”
As soon as Ye Yuze picks up a rough person, he naturally won't talk a lot like Mr. Cao, in short, his Ye family is going to suffer from unknown grievances, and he, Ye Yuze, must do something, otherwise the position of the head of the family will also be shaken in the Ye family.
"Why does Lord Xiao say so much," Ye Yuze smiled and said, "Ye Lan, he can't kill people at all, let alone how can he kill Lord Tieyi?
Xiao Lebang did not hesitate, and opened his mouth directly and said: "Although it is in the streets and alleys, it is also a place where there are many people, and it is naturally difficult to say that it is completely difficult to avoid the eyes of the people." But it is possible to use some power, but since ancient times, people have died for money, and birds have died for food, which makes me think about something deeper. ”
"Lord Ye," Xiao Lebang loosened the rope from Ye Lan's hand, then paused and continued: "Just now an elder said that the Ye family loves the people like children, and they are even better to the people, and they also give porridge to the people. In this way, the friendship between the Ye family and the people must be very deep, and it is indeed not difficult to seal the mouths of the people. Lord Ye is also reasonable, Elder Ye Lan is naturally no match for Lord Tieyi, but what if the murderer is not single-handed?"
Ye Yuze was a little stunned, and stood there silent. This Xiao Lebang is indeed flamboyant, and the limelight originally changed to Ye Yuze's side, but it seems that they have the advantage here when Xiao Lebang says this. Then Ye Yuze also kept saying:
"So, Lord Ye wants me to re-investigate this matter again, but the villain is also lazy, and if the murderer is a murderer, one or two is not a problem. The villain has a task and just wants to complete the task as soon as possible, so he also asks Lord Ye to let the villain go. ”
Jiu Wentian can be regarded as hearing it, if Ye Yuze insists on keeping Ye Lan, then Xiao Lebang also plans to locate all the people of the Ye family as murderers, so that no one dares to believe what the Ye family says. Moreover, at this time, the Ye family was as fragile as an ant's nest in front of Xiao Lebang, and Xiao Lebang also made it clear that he didn't want to be embarrassed, so as long as Ye Yuze handed over Ye Lan, his Ye family would not lose too much.
It is difficult to be an enemy of the iron coat, but if the Ye family's thousand-year-old foundation is lost, it will make Ye Yuze bear the infamy of the ages. At this time, Ye Yuze's heart gradually wavered, and those elders were also muttering quietly.
After Ye Lan took a long breath, he said slowly: "I admit it, I did it alone." ”
"Ye Lan......" Ye Yuze looked at Ye Lan with complicated eyes, and there was a trace of tears shaking in his eyes, but Ye Yuze didn't say anything, but was silent.
Xiao Lebang said to Ye Yuze: "Thank you Lord Ye for your cooperation, Elder Ye Lan, I respect you for being able to admit it yourself, I will put away the rope, I hope you can follow me to Lord Yu of the Law Division." ”
Xiao Lebang walked forward, and his steady steps seemed to have seen through the world and didn't care about anything. Jiu Wentian pulled Jiang Qiufang, and then said, "It's time for us to go." ”
Jiang Qiufang glanced at Ye Yuze reluctantly, and said lightly: "Coach Ye ......"
"Miss, let's go. Ye Yuze barely squeezed out a little smile and said to Jiang Qiufang.
Ye Yuze is not a reckless man who can only use force, he also knows the difficulties of Jiu Wentian and Jiang Qiufang, Jiu Wentian who is in the position of an envoy naturally has no choice, people die for money, birds die for food, how could Jiu Wentian lose his great future for his Ye family? Not to mention Jiang Qiufang, that is a kind girl, but Jiang Qiufang's kindness is worthless in the face of this cruel society.
Jiang Qiufang reluctantly followed behind Jiu Wentian, Jiu Wentian was also in a solemn mood at this time, he was wondering if this Ye Lan would be a little pitiful, how good it would be if he could find the murderer. But Jiu Wentian is also very contradictory, if he finds the murderer, it means that he is exposed, not to mention that Jiu Wentian is alive at that time, it is estimated that he can't die.
Conscience or survival? Maybe society is so cruel, Ye Lan didn't do anything wrong, but he still has to be punished, and the real murderer is still at large. If it weren't for Yi Zhongtian yesterday to use the ancient artifact and the matter of Shenzhou as a threat, the current Jiu Wentian would not seem to be so confused. How did Yi Zhongtian know?
"Wentian, what are you thinking?" Xiao Lebang glanced back at Jiu Wentian, and then said, "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”
Jiang Qiufang looked at Ye Lan beside him, Ye Lan hung there with an ugly expression, but whoever encounters such an unlucky thing will not be in a good mood. Jiang Qiufang said to Ye Lan, "Elder Ye Lan, I'm sorry ......."
"Miss, you don't have to apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you, I did something wrong on impulse. Ye Lan said lightly, completely losing her temper at that time, "The eldest lady can't be impulsive in the future." ”
Maybe it's smoothed out by life, or it's softened by society. Ye Lan is not a person who has been eliminated by society, he has just been used by society.
