Ye Xiaotian was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Mengxiong's words, if it wasn't for Governor Ye talking about it, he almost forgot that he still had such a word.

Although Emperor Wanli was a little stingy, he didn't give him any reward after he cooperated with the Son of Heaven to eradicate the Hou Party, and only gave him a word casually, but the emperor's word was far more valuable than giving him a hundred and ten taels of gold and dozens of pieces of silk.

If his official position is high enough, a royal gift is useless to him, but for the local officials, as long as there is an emperor's gift in hand, once there is a chance for promotion, he will walk in front of all his colleagues and be promoted first.

It's a pity that this truth is not universal, at least here in Guizhou, no! After Ye Xiaotian came back, he became a member of the toast, and when he thought about it from the position of the toast, he found that the imperial gift table was of no use to him.

Since most of the toasts were wary of the imperial court, showing off the matter would have side effects on him, so he never mentioned it. At this time, listening to Ye Mengxiong's words, Ye Xiaotian remembered this matter.

The toasts don't care about the emperor's words, and they will even be disgusted, but what about the officials? They care! Governor Ye is a rogue official! Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly saluted again: "Yes!" Mu Chen has seen Lord Futai. ”

In front of Lord Futai, he is not competent for his official position but is called a cousin, this relationship is much closer, this is the deacon's nephew. All the toasts looked at each other, could it be that Ye Xiaotian had shit luck and had a relationship with someone else's Futai again? This time, he stirred up Guiyang into a bloody storm, and he was able to tide over the difficulties steadily.

Ye Mengxiong laughed, did not talk to Ye Xiaotian again, but continued to meet with other officials, Ye Xiaotian retreated into the queue, secretly thinking about his thoughts, suddenly his heart moved, and he faintly sensed that something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he didn't find anyone from the Zhan family, the Cao family, and the Zhang family. Ye Xiaotian's heart tightened slightly, how could these people not come to greet the governor, they didn't show up, what kind of conspiracy did they want to play.

It took Ye Mengxiong a full half an hour to meet with the dignitaries from all parties who came to greet him this time. Ye Mengxiong affectionately took Old Man An to board the car and began to march towards Guiyang City.

The guard of honor in front of him saw that he was about to reach the gate of the city, but suddenly stopped. At this time, Ye Mengxiong's convoy was in front, and all the people and horses who greeted him were behind, so Ye Xiaotian and they didn't know what was going on, and many people were sitting on horses. Craned his neck and looked ahead.

The quicker ones sent their followers to the front to see, and in a short time someone knew the situation and began to talk to each other. Ye Xiaotian faintly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he didn't believe that the Zhan, Cao, and Zhang families would make no moves, could it be that they were in trouble?

Ye Xiaotian was thinking about it, Hua Qingfeng suddenly rode a horse and hurried over from the front, raised his butt on the horseback and looked around, saw Ye Xiaotian at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned to him. He said loudly: "Chief Ye, hurry up and summon Lord Futai!" ”

The people around who didn't know the situation looked at Ye Xiaotian one after another, and Ye Xiaotian beat the drum softly in his heart. With a slap of his legs in the stirrups, he rushed forward from the middle of the road that the officials had dodged away.

Ye Xiaotian rushed to Hua Qingfeng's side, Hua Qingfeng looked concerned and reminded in a low voice: "You have to be careful." Zhan, Cao, and Zhang blocked the city gate and complained to Lord Futai about your black situation! ”

Ye Xiaotian's heart sank, it was really them. Ye Xiaotian calmed down. He bowed slightly to Hua Qingfeng: "There is Mr. Lao!" ”

Ye Xiaotian rushed to the front, took a look at the situation in front of the car, and sure enough, Zhan, Cao, and Zhang arrived.

Zhanlong Zhanhu wore linen and filial piety, and took the same white Zhan Jiaerlang, kneeling straight on the ground, still holding the spirit banner in his hand. In the middle of the exhibition dragon and the tiger, there is a coffin parked.

In the middle is the Cao family, Cao Ruiyu is also a vegetarian, with tears streaming down his face, and there are two coffins on his left and right, which should be the coffins of Cao Ruixi and Cao Ruiyun.

On the far left is Zhang Yuhan, who is kneeling on the ground, and there is also a coffin beside him, and it is naturally Zhang Yutong's corpse.

In front of the whole city gate, there are white flowers, all of them are wearing linen and filial piety, many of them are crying on the ground, and there are people on the head of the city throwing paper money downward, and they are all raised as if the sky is full of snow.

A piece of paper money rolled and floated down, floating towards 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 on the ground.

Zhanlong and Zhanhu glared at him angrily, but they had obviously made up their minds to hand over this problem to the new governor to solve, so they did not rush forward to do it. Ye Xiaotian still wanted to ridicule them a few words, but suddenly saw the person kneeling in the right corner behind the coffin raise his head, revealing a familiar face.

It was Ning Er, Ning Er was dressed in plain clothes, looking at him with tears in her eyes, looking like she was complaining about why he didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on refusing to leave Guiyang. Ye Xiaotian's heart softened, and he slowly dispersed the murderous aura in his heart.

Hua Qingfeng urged his crotch to dismount his horse, and ran slowly past him with the pace of a Taiping horse, and whispered quickly when his body staggered: "Don't be impulsive, come forward to see the governor." ”

Ye Xiaotian moved his gaze from Ning Er's eyes, and turned to look at the car, the curtain cage on the car had been raised, Governor Ye and Old Man An were sitting side by side in the car, Governor Ye looked straight ahead with a sinking face, and Old Man An gently stroked his beard and looked at him calmly, there seemed to be a smile in his old eyes.

Ye Xiaotian took a long breath, rode his horse to the front of the car, pulled the saddle and dismounted, walked to the front of the car, gave Ye Mengxiong a long look, and said, "Xiaguan Ye Muchen, I have seen Lord Futai." ”

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

Ye Xiaotian glanced back, hugged his fist at Ye Mengxiong and said: "There are some small conflicts between Xiaguan and the Tongren Zhang family, Shiqian Cao family, and Zhan family, and it is really a sin to disturb Lord Futai unexpectedly!" ”

"Skirmishes?"

Ye Mengxiong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Tongren Zhang Tusi, Fei'eling Cao Tusi, Cao Tushe, and Shiqian Zhan Tusi have died in your hands one after another, and you actually say that it is a small conflict?" Then the official is going to ask you, what is a big conflict? You're good at killing officials, and you're four in one kill, no! I heard that Shiqian Yang Tusi also died in your hands, and killed five court officials in a row, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

Ye Xiaotian said calmly: "Returning to Lord Futai, even if you only kill one court official, it will be a capital crime!" ”

Ye Mengxiong said sharply: "It turns out that you also know that you are guilty? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes! Lord Futai, if you want to know the reason why the lower officials have a bad relationship with these four families. The lower officials should be clear one by one. In terms of guilt or innocence, the lower official is indeed guilty, and the lower official pleaded guilty! ”

Ye Mengxiong said in a loud voice: "It's good that you know that you are guilty!" Someone! Take him down for me! ”

As soon as several guards swarmed up, they were about to come to get Ye Xiaotian, Hua Qingfeng felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and hurriedly restrained herself, pretending to look at Ye Xiaotian with a nervous and concerned look.

Ye Xiaotian put his hands together, stopped the sergeant from stepping forward, and said loudly to Ye Mengxiong: "Lord Futai, the crime of the lower official." It has its own court law to punish it. And the imperial court has special regulations on Qiandi, since Lord Futai is the governor of this province, he should know about this, right? ”

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

Ye Xiaotian said: "Fines are substituted!" This is a privilege given to Toast by Heaven. Xia Guan is the hereditary prefect of the Lying Niu Division, and he is a toast. According to my Ming law, if a subordinate official kills someone, he can pay a fine to offset the crime, and the subordinate official is willing to pay the fine! ”

Zhanlong, Zhanhu, Zhang Yuhan, and Cao Ruiyu jumped together. Furious, he said, "You want to pay 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 hugged his fists to Ye Mengxiong and said, "Lord Futai, there are indeed special exceptions to the laws of the imperial court here. But jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. The death of my father was not because of the dispute between the two natives, nor was it a heavy hand in a quarrel!

Ye Xiaotian killed Shi Qian's Yang family, Cao's family, Tongren Zhang's family and his father's four Tusi in a row. It's all because he is ambitious, takes the initiative to provoke, and tries to encroach on other people's territories. That's unscrupulous. The means of killing are cruel and tyrannical, how can the people be angry if they don't kill, and how can they be punished according to ordinary laws? ”

Cao Ruiyu shouted: "Killing one person and killing five people, how can the magnitude of the crime be compared? Moreover, the person who was killed was not an ordinary local citizen, but a toast, and this identity alone should also offset his right to fine atonement, we have been bullied and persecuted by Ye Xiaotian, please Lord Futai must uphold justice for us! ”

When the magnates gathered closer to each other saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it. Tong Yun, the patriarch of the Shiqian Tong family, sneered and said loudly: "Phew! Have the ability to do it with real knives and guns! Tong also admires that you are a man, and you actually ask the court to call the shots, which is really unproductive! ”

Many people who were watching Ye Xiaotian's jokes heard this, and their positions changed instantly. Yes, Ye Xiaotian is a family, you are a family of four, you have the ability to gather four families to fight with him! actually complained to the imperial court, didn't you open the door and let in a hungry tiger!

The toasts guarded their one-third of an acre of land, and they were always very carefree. They think that Ye Xiaotian is a black sheep, of course they want him to be eliminated, but if they use the power of the imperial court, as soon as this example is opened, isn't it equivalent to a golden hoop on their heads?

As soon as the wind turned, someone immediately said, "Hey! Zhan, Cao, and Zhang's families seem to have broken jars! ”

"Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year!"

"Zhanlong Zhanhu and Cao Ruiyu don't care, after all, they are young people, Zhang Yuhan is so old, how can he be so ignorant, he really lives more and more."

Zhanlong, Zhanhu, Cao Ruiyu, Zhang Yuhan and others ignored these people's discussions, they ran to Ye Mengxiong and knelt down together, crying loudly: "We are waiting for strange injustices, and please ask Lord Futai to redress our grievances and uphold justice for us!" ”

"Lord Qingtian, ......"

The family members of these three families first buttoned a big hat to Ye Mengxiong, and then they cried one after another, this is the gate of the city, although the road has long been sealed for Lord Futai to pass, but there is a disturbance here, and the people in the city have rushed to hear the news, and even the city wall is full.

The three stinkers, Zhan, Cao, and Zhang, held back for many days before they came up with such an idea, and although they did some things, they were very effective. This situation is indeed a serious test for Ye Mengxiong, who has just taken office.

If Ye Mengxiong can't solve this matter perfectly, even if the old man Tusi Wang An personally comes to help him "carry the sedan chair", he will be discredited. Once you lose this thing, it will be difficult to get it back.

And the invisible weapon of prestige, if used well, it has a bonus effect on a person, and if it is not used well, it has a reduced effect, if most of the toasts are in awe of him, there are a few unruly people left, if he wants to train, it will be much easier, if most of the toasts do not take him seriously, I am afraid that this famous minister will be in Guizhou to sink into the sand.

Zhan, Cao, and Zhang calculated this point, so they "carried the coffin to force the palace", forcing him to use Ye Xiaotian to make a knife. Ye Mengxiong sat in the car, watching everyone, and knew that this was the critical moment for him to go to Guiyang to take office.
