Chapter 86: Critical Trust

Ye Mengxiong grabbed the startled wood, and the court immediately fell silent, everyone knew that the governor was going to make a decision. Ye Mengxiong slowly raised the startling wood, and slapped it with no heavy force but very decisively: "Smack!" ”

Ye Mengxiong opened his mouth and said: "Today, in the case of Ye Xiaotian's killing of Zhang Yuhan, Cao Ruixi, Cao Ruiyun, and Zhan Boxiong, Ye has pleaded guilty in court and confessed to his crimes. Ye is the chief of the Lying Niu Division, and according to the Detroit of Qiandi, he could have paid a ransom to buy the crime. But ......"

Ye Mengxiong's voice changed, and he said: "If you have money to buy a generation, what scruples does a rich family have?" Isn't the law of the Imperial State designed for the poor? This law is unreasonable, unreasonable! The violent death of the son of a daughter on the way is the atmosphere of the last days of trouble, not all the ...... of the prosperous holy dynasty."

When the toasts heard this, those who understood became a little uneasy: "What do you mean, Lord Governor?" It doesn't mean that this is an excuse to abolish our privileges, right? ”

In fact, although the Tusi family is domineering, they rarely kill people at will, especially the eldest family member of the sect, as the most important member of the family, has been taught and restrained by Yan Jin since he was a child, but he is not as good as the younger brother of the branch house, and he is not very good at causing right and wrong.

But it's one thing to get the "death-free gold medal" or not, and if you want to take it back, he is always reluctant. As for Ye Mengxiong's public claim that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's decree was neither reasonable nor reasonable, it was nothing.

Now the weather is not as good as it was back then, the scholars and doctors are baking, and the ministers who scold the emperor in front of them abound, and they say behind their backs, "The emperor is unreasonable in this matter". Besides, how could the old man Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to grant such a privilege to the local officials of Qiandi back then.

Ye Mengxiong said: "Therefore, if you only use fines to offset crimes, it is not in line with the will of heaven at the top, and it is not in line with the will of the people." The husband can buy a life with a thousand gold, and if he has a million, can he slaughter a county? Moreover, Ye Guilty is the leader of a place, and the victim is the leader of the three parties, and the impact is even more significant! ”

Those uneducated toast masters were already dizzy when they heard Ye Futai say this, but now is not the time to ask others. I had to prick up my ears and continue to listen, and I could understand a few sentences. As for those who were educated, they were also dizzy by Ye Futai, and they didn't understand what he was going to say.

Ye Mengxiong said: "This Futai weighs impartially, Ye is guilty of murder, the ransom must be paid, and the crime is unforgivable." But the law, whether it is reasonable or not, cannot be abolished as long as it remains. and read the cause of his case, because Zhang, Cao, and Zhan had a grudge against them. Miaowen, the daughter of the Tian family, was the witness, and Banzhou comforted Lord Yang as evidence, proving that the four people who were killed, Zhang, Cao, and Zhan, had plotted to assassinate Ye first, so they were punished lightly and planned to imprison Ye for life! ”

"Life imprisonment?"

There are literate and uneducated, this sentence is understood, and there is a riot in the court. Zhang Yuhan, Zhanlong and others are still a little angry, our relatives are dead, but he can live well?

But...... Life imprisonment is a lifetime imprisonment, and it is not very unacceptable. And once he goes to prison, after a year and a half, if you want him to die again, it's just a matter of spending a small amount of money. In this way, it is even more acceptable.

Those who regarded Ye Xiaotian as a black sheep couldn't help but gloat, a little toast who had just been appointed dared to be so arrogant, and now it was because of the privileges that our ancestors won for the toasts that they saved you from death. But...... Isn't it a good taste to live in sin?

As for Tusi, who had a close relationship with the Yang family, the Song family, and the Tian family, they couldn't help but set their eyes on the representatives of these three families, how should they express their position at this time. Let's also look at the meaning of these families.

When Yang Yinglong heard Ye Mengxiong say this, he couldn't help but change color and be imprisoned for life? If Ye Xiaotian is imprisoned for life, what tricks does Lao Tzu have to play?

That Ye Xiao'an, can only be used to replace it after Ye Xiaotian has built a huge force, and now he still needs to use Ye Xiaotian's knife to grab territory and expand the population for him, Ye Xiao'an can't do these things!

This Adou, even if Yan Shiwei is on the side to assist, and even sends his think tank Tian Nufeng over, it still can't work! You must know that the Ye faction forces at this time are not stable at all, and they are completely maintained by Ye Xiaotian's personal charm.

Just like the once mighty Timur the Great, when he was alive, his imperial army was invincible, and as soon as he died, the huge empire immediately collapsed, because his empire did not have a perfect power structure, and it was controlled by the charismatic leader of the leader.

If there is no Ye Xiaotian, the heroes gathered under Ye Xiaotian will immediately disperse.

When Tian Miaowen heard that Ye Xiaotian was going to be sentenced to life imprisonment, her heart sank suddenly, and then she thought: "That's it, it's a good situation to be able to not die." It's a big deal to use my dead soldiers, and then unite with Ye Xiaotian's dead friends, rob the prison to save him, and avoid going into the mountains. ”

Old Man An raised his white eyebrows slightly, a pair of old eyes turned slightly at the bottom of his eyes, and his old face did not have the slightest expression, 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, and can establish the prestige that Governor Ye established as soon as he arrived in Guizhou, but ...... Governor Ye is a person who knows the soldiers, hasn't he inquired into Ye Xiaotian's details?

Among the toasters, Ye Xiaotian is not the most powerful, but he is the most difficult, doing this, Lord Futai has left a big hidden danger for himself, is this what a capable official like Ye Mengxiong would do?

Old Man An's eyes narrowed slightly......

Governor Ye's words were really not finished, his eyes swept slightly, and he took in the changes in everyone's expressions, and then said: "Check again, Ye was named a hereditary Tusi because he guided the mountain people to move outside the mountain, surrendered to the court, accepted education, and made great contributions. Edification is a great merit and should not be abandoned halfway. The mountain people are rebellious, and they must not lose their supervision, so the official will personally temporarily take his place and supervise his ministry until the court makes a decision. This verdict! ”

Ye Mengxiong "snapped" and slapped the shocking wood again, and the final word was over. His verdict was over, and all the local officials who were on trial and hearing were blown up.

When Old Man An heard this, a slight smile appeared on the old man's face, just a smile, and even just a hint of laughter in his heart, and then he was taken away.

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

When Tian Miaowen heard this, her eyes immediately looked at Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian looked at Ye Mengxiong with a sneer: "Hey! You old immortal, you want to lock me up, and you want to take over all my people's territory, your abacus is better than Tian's abacus......"

Thinking of Tian Abacus, 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 was 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. I, Ye Xiaotian, am not a dead-faced person, are you so happy to see me locked up? Do you have a conscience? Wait......"

Ye Xiaotian was not stupid after all, he finally realized that something was wrong, and when he thought about it, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

When Tian Miaowen looked at him, she saw that he had a stupid face, and knew that he had not yet understood Ye Futai's deep meaning, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "This is really a fan of 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, she couldn't compare to Ye Xiaotian much, and now her brain reaction was faster than his. Miss Tian was very happy. At this time, looking at Ye Xiaotian's eyes, she knew that Ye Xiaotian finally understood.

None of the four toasts are stupid, even if some of them are not so talented. Such a large family has spared no effort to cultivate, and has taken over such a large family for a long time, and their insight and strategy are also superior.

At this time, the four of them had already guessed Ye Mengxiong's intentions. It is to sit like a mountain. There are also shrewd people among the other local officials, and there are also those who guess Ye Mengxiong's intentions, although only a few. However, whether it is the few who guessed it, or the vast majority of those who didn't guess, it was all raging at this time.

Ye Xiaotian is neither my son nor my son, I don't care if he is dead or alive. But what does it mean that you Ye Futai want to take care of his department? Don't say high-sounding and beautiful words, you are a rogue official, isn't this a change of way to seize the power of our local officials?

How do we fight with each other, that's our own business, no matter how fierce the fight is, anyway, this piece of meat is rotten in our own pot, you Governor Ye is a rogue official, you intervene sideways, as long as this precedent is set, won't you be able to find our ballast in the future, take over the post and occupy the land after the investigation, and turn the country handed down by our ancestors into the old Zhu family without bloodshed?

Conspiracy? Impotence? No matter what the scheme, whether you can guess Ye Mengxiong's original intentions or not, you must oppose it! We must strongly oppose it, we must thwart Governor Ye's sinister intentions, and we must not hesitate.

Cao, Zhan, and Zhang Tusi died unjustly, who the hell cares, this is a matter of principle, and there must be no concessions. The Tusi magnates who had been listening to the trial couldn't help but shout: "Lord Futai, this sentence is not appropriate!" ”

"The verdict is unfair! The verdict is unfair~"

Someone raised his arms and shouted, Zhang Yuhan, Zhanlong, Zhanhu and others glared at him angrily: "What is the unfair judgment of the case, are you fucking speaking for Ye Xiaotian?" ”

"Didn't Miss Tian and Yang Tusi all testify for Chief Ye? Self-defense and murder are extenuating, and the sentence of life imprisonment is too serious, please think twice! ”

"If you kill someone, you will be able to fight your life! Lord Futai simply beheaded Ye Xiaotian, we wholeheartedly support it! ”

Someone next to him whispered, "Shut up!" Ye Xiaotian can't die, who cares about him, Woniuling must not fall into the hands of Ye Futai! ”

The man was not convinced, and retorted: "What do you know, I haven't finished talking yet!" Then he shouted to Ye Mengxiong: "Please ask Lord Futai to ask the imperial court for an order to divide Woniuling into several pieces and assign them to the Zhang family and the Yu family respectively." ”

"You're sick, why should you give it to them? Lord Futai, according to the rules, if Tusi is deprived of his position, he should be inherited by his children, wife, brothers, nephews, and nephews in order......"

"Ye Xiaotian has no children!"

"Then Madame......"

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

"! When Ye Xiaotian was a pusher, he was a concubine, and when he became a local official, he was a lady. The lady has the right to take her place. ”

"I heard that Ye Xiaotian has a brother, and if he can't become a martial artist, he won't ...... it."

"Then it's better to let his brother be a toast! By the way, why do you know Ye Xiaotian so well? ”

"Hey, hey! The old man is Ding Hongdong of the Great Wanshan Division. ”

"Oops, it turned out to be Hongdong Zhi County, disrespectful and disrespectful......"

This was a whisper, and it was a generous speech to Lord Futai, and the whole hall was in a mess, Ye Mengxiong seemed to know that this sentence would definitely stab the hornet's nest as soon as it came out, not impatient, calm.

Old Man An glanced at Yang Yinglong and the others. Knowing that it was time to speak, he said slowly: "Lord Futai......"

As soon as Old Man An spoke, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, Governor Ye's verdict touched all the toast's scales, and it was the most fundamental interest that should never be offended. The King of Toast couldn't hold his breath anymore, and let's see what he said.

Old Man An said slowly: "Ye Xiaotian is naturally guilty, and the old man also approves of the governor punishing him, otherwise if he indulges him, everyone will follow the example, wouldn't there be no peace forever?" cough, cough, cough ......"

Old Man An coughed twice. said slowly: "But how he should be sentenced, the old man feels that it is still up to discussion." ”

Ye Mengxiong looked at An Guowei with a smile and said, "Oh? So what does Mr. An think? ”

Old Man An waved his hand and said, "Hey! This is the authority of Lord Futai, how dare the old man overstep his authority. The old man has only been in Guizhou for a long time and is familiar with the customs and cultural relics of various parts of Guizhou. I think that the people of Woniuling are wild people in the mountains, who do not practice education and do not know the king's law, and they are very difficult to control.

Futai University is both humanistic and military, and is naturally a masterpiece of a generation. However, if you want to tame them, it is very different from the commander of the army. Once you are too involved in the matter of Woniuling, I am afraid that you will miss a big event. The old man is very important to Master Mengfutai, and he knows the details of his place and its people, so dare not tell the truth? ”

Old man Ann's meaning. If you make such a judgment, it will be a mess, no! But how to judge? It's up to you to make up your own mind. My old man knows how to measure things, how can I be embarrassed to steal your limelight and prestige. The words are beautiful, but what he disagrees with has already been vetoed.

Ye Mengxiong narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, sighed, and looked at Ye Xiaotian with some sadness: "You can lead the uneducated mountain people and savages to return to the imperial court, the emperor is very happy." The emperor gave you the word 'Mu Chen', and placed high hopes on you, you have a negative heart! ”

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

Ye Mengxiong shook his head and said: "I am a Ming country, the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together, and the Qiandi is ruled by the Son of Heaven, the scholars and all the local officials, and your opinions, this official will not ignore them." Mr. An said that the old man has become a country, and the good is like a stream, and the sentence is changed as follows:

From the date of the judgment, Ye Xiaotian reimbursed Tongren Zhang's family, Shiqian Cao's family, and Zhan's silver 5,000 taels each, and Ye Xiaotian could designate a person to take charge of his land, and Benfu sent someone to escort him into Beijing. ”

"Futai is wise!"

"That's great!"

Before Zhanlong Zhanhu had time to protest, the local officials who heard the trial had already responded in groups. Zhang Yuhan was older, more stable than them, and seeing that the situation had developed to this point, the focus of the Tusi's concern had been completely shifted, and it was useless to argue again, so he glanced at Cao Ruiyu, Zhanlong and others.

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

Ye Xiaotian, who was bowing his head to "repent", hurriedly raised his head: "Ye Mou accepts the sentence!" ”

Ye Mengxiong nodded and said, "Okay!" From now on, you will not be free, and you will be detained in a government prison until you are escorted into Beijing. You have to designate who will be in charge of the Lying Niu Division during your visit to Beijing to ask for crimes, and now you can say it in public, and the official will send someone to convey it on your behalf! ”

"Who will take charge of the Lying Cow Division for me?"

Ye Xiaotian thought about it: "As long as my fate is undecided, the complex personnel composition of Woniu Ling can still remain stable, so it is okay to designate whoever is in charge of Wo Niu Ling." But...... After I leave, will the Zhang family, the Zhan family, and the Cao family wait for the imperial court's verdict on me in peace? It's strange that they didn't take advantage of my absence.

Let the eldest brother take his place temporarily? No, he is in debt even running an oil mill that is sure to make a profit. Doni? That girl ......, hey! That girl has a good soup, and the boudoir has to be fun, as for dominating the group, forget it.

This person has to be brave and strategic, and he has to be able to shake the field, so Li Dazhuang and Yunfei will be saved. Junting is the best candidate, but she is already pregnant, so she shouldn't work too hard. And how deep the relationship between the Yu family and my Ye family is, it is really not appropriate for people to know now.

Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly moved, and he turned to Tian Miaowen, when his body moved, Tian Miaowen felt that it was not good, and quickly wanted to hide, only to take two steps back, Ye Xiaotian had already stood facing her, stretched out his hand to her, and said: "Don't worry about Lord Tai, the person I chose is her!" ”

: Ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!.
