Chapter 39 Aftermath
Hongbin Lou is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital, because of its carved beams and paintings, magnificent, and delicacies, so it has always been the favorite of the rich and noble, the nobles and nobles.
Ye Play is now eating wine with a friend in the box of Hongbin Building.
This friend is the gambler he met in the casino before Ye Play, this person's surname is Zhu, because he ranks fifth in the family, everyone calls him Zhu Wuye. Zhu Wuye has been in the gambling hall all the year round, and he has some experience in gambling, so he pointed out Ye to play one or two.
Ye is not good at gambling, but he just wants to take a small gamble, but he didn't expect to win more and more. After that, there was an accident in the fourth room of the Ye family, and now Ye is dominant, so he gradually took some of the four-room family property and threw it in, but he didn't expect to be lucky, and he actually earned ten times back, so he set up a wine banquet in Hongbin Building to ask Zhu Wuye to thank him.
Ye Yu was already a shallow drinker, and after a few glasses, he felt light and fluttering, and his tongue was also bigger, and he smiled and saluted Zhu Wuye with a wine glass: "Come, another drink!" Today, even if I invite you! ”
Zhu Wuye took it with a smile, but did not drink it, but smiled and filled Ye Play with another glass, and said, "Play young master, you are developed now, with so much silver in hand, why don't you play again?" ”
Ye Wan just wanted to refuse, but Zhu Wuye said with a smile: "The more you invest, the more you will return." When the time comes, don't say that you are 'abandoning your ancestor' Ye family, even the Xinghua Ye family is not as rich as you, and the entire Ye family will listen to you! ”
Ye Play was moved by Zhu Wuye's words.
Others don't know, but he now knows as a member of the Ye family. Now that the Ye family has four rooms, he has a special look at the four-room property, although it is not as rich as the other rooms of the Ye family, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes.
If you can multiply the four-room family property tenfold......
Ye Yu laughed.
Seeing the opportunity, Zhu Wuye lowered his voice again, and said in a very curious and longing voice: "Play young master, the fourth room of the Ye family is also rich, how did you get recognized by the fourth room of the Ye family, I haven't heard of it at all before, can you tell me?" ”
Ye was playing with wine, and when he heard this, he glanced at Zhu Wuye, and said proudly: "Want to know?" Hey, it was Ye Zuhui who took the initiative to find me, I didn't do anything, he just got things done for me. ”
Zhu Wuye was very surprised when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with a little admiration, and said, "Then it sounds like he is begging you!" ”
"Not really." Ye Yule said, "I haven't seen myself cuckolded, I found a concubine who remarried, and said that it was my son's mother." ”
Zhu Wuye's heart jumped, and he pretended to be curious and asked, "Then, doesn't this woman have a husband?" ”
Ye Wan was a little drowsy after using too much wine, lying on the table in a daze, and said without raising his head: "Yes and no, it's all the same......" After speaking, he muttered in a particularly low voice: "Anyway, it's solved, what ......are you afraid of?"
Zhu Wuye was shocked in his heart, no wonder the fifth master of the Ye family asked him to give this person's words, listening to this, I am afraid that someone will have a lawsuit.
The fifth master of the Ye family is righteous, and he once saved himself who was about to be beheaded by the gambling house, and he must tell him about such a big thing.
Zhu Wuye hurriedly asked the little second child of Hongbin Building to settle Ye Wan, and invited Ye Cizhu to talk about it, Ye Xizhu was very surprised when he heard this, and bowed his hand to Zhu Wuye: "Brother Zhu, please don't make a public announcement about this matter." ”
Zhu Wuye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What kind of friendship between you and me, you can rest assured." ”
Ye Qizhu felt a little at ease, and suddenly figured out why Ye Qiong would leave things to herself.
He always thought that the Ye family's resurrection would ultimately depend on the eldest and third brothers who were officials, or the outstanding men in the next generation. But Ye Qiong said that he, who does not learn and has no skills, likes to fight unevenly and chivalrous all day long, can also be a help for the Ye family's recovery.
It wasn't until now that Ye Xizhu really understood the meaning of Ye Qiong's words.
Ye Cizhu gave a few more instructions, and asked Zhu Wuye to slowly lead Ye Play to lose all the family property, and Ye Cizhu hurriedly returned to Ye Mansion to see Ye Qiong and informed him of the incident.
Rao is Ye Qiong, and he didn't expect to get such news, so he immediately said: "I remember that Ye Wan's 'biological mother' was placed in Zhuangzi, this clue is worth checking!" ”
……………………
Most of the Zhuangzi of the Ye family were purchased by Ye Qiong's grandmother Ye Ling when she was still there, so they were connected in one place, and Ye Qiong came to the Zhuangzi under the pretext of inspecting the water accumulation in the Zhuangzi.
Ye Qiong, the person on the Zhuangzi, had already asked Steward Ye to clean it up. Steward Ye is now old and his thighs and feet are not very neat, so Ye Qiong promoted Ye Er, the second son of Steward Ye.
In the memory of Ye Qiong's previous life, Steward Ye's eldest son Ye Daxue did a good job, and the second son was good at management, but unfortunately in his previous life, Steward Ye's family was also implicated in the soul case and had a very difficult time. After Ye Qiong married into the Korean government, he gave the Ye housekeeper's family a registration, and gave Ye Da the name Ye Mingkai, and Ye Er gave the name Ye Mingli, Ye Mingkai later became the master of Wenshan Academy, and Ye Mingli was sent by Ye Qiong to the fifth uncle to help the fifth uncle run the industry.
Ye Er, who had not yet been given the name Ye Mingli, waited in the Zhuangzi early, and when Ye Qiong arrived, he immediately led her to sit down first, served tea and said, "Girl, wait a minute, I will let the guards open the door, I heard that you can watch it closely." ”
Ye Qiong bowed her head, and her heart became more and more determined.
The more tightly guarded, the more something is wrong.
Ye Qiong didn't wait for a while, Ye Er came over and said, "Although I watched closely, the gatekeeper hadn't gotten the money for a long time. ”
"I'll see you." Ye Qiong said, "Otherwise, I won't worry." ”
In a dimly lit hut in the four-room Zhuangzi of the Ye family, an unkempt madwoman was holding a childless swaddling baby, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
Ye Qiong pushed open the door, and the sudden light outside the door did not make the woman look up.
Ye Qiong sat quietly opposite the woman, listening to the woman babbling: "Child, mother is here, are you hungry, or are you thirsty?" ”
Ye Qiong was moved in her heart, and said tentatively: "You have a husband and children, right?" ”
The woman did not look up.
Ye Qiong found that the woman's hand holding the swaddling clothes was tight, so she said again: "Do you know who I am?" I am not from the fourth room of the Ye family, I am the second daughter of the third room of the Ye family. ”
The woman is still chattering, treating the swaddling clothes in her arms as her own child.
Ye Qiong's tone was even more firm: "I have a grudge against the Ye family. Ye Zuhui bought two monks to put my father and uncle in prison, if I hadn't tried my best to turn around, I'm afraid my father would have been in a different place now. I have the same hatred as you. I'm here to avenge your husband and son! ”
The woman's hand holding the swaddling clothes shook so hard that she almost dropped the swaddling clothes to the ground, she tightened her arms as if nothing happened, and then suddenly burst out laughing like crazy, laughing with tears in her laughter.
The woman laughed and began to babble again, approaching Ye Qiong while chattering, and quickly stuffed a small ball of cloth into Ye Qiong's hand.
Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, did not open it in front of the woman, saluted her and returned to her Zhuangzi, and then opened the cloth group.
The cloth was very wrinkled, and it looked like a piece of fabric torn from the underwear, and a sentence was written in blood on it: Lai Da witnessed, two miles east of the post station in the suburbs of Beijing, and the stone well under the tree with a crooked neck.
Ye Qiong immediately instructed Ye Er to go to the place where the cloth was written, and when Ye Er hurried back, the time was close to sunset, and the red sunset was reflected on Ye Er's face, but he still couldn't hide the paleness and panic on Ye Er's face, he said: "The well was found, there were two corpses under the well, one large and one small, and I didn't dare to go down for fear of leaving traces, but I found this by the well." Ye Er said and handed over a piece of jade pendant found in the well to Ye Qiong.
When Ye Qiong saw it, she was so angry that she scolded people.
She knew that thing, it was a family gift from her grandfather to her sons, and it was the fourth uncle who handed it over.
The rope used to tie the jade pendant around his waist should have been torn off during the struggle, and Ye Qiong found some blood stains in the gap of the jade pendant.
"Throw the jade pendant into the well, keep an eye on the well, and let anyone find it whenever it is. Lai Da should have witnessed this, and now that he and Ye Wan have a very close relationship, they have to think of a way to provoke their relationship first. Ye Qiong calmly made a decision, and her heart was already full of anger.
Regardless of the two monks who were bought, these two lives, the fourth uncle and Ye Wan could not deny it.
……………………
Ye Play was a little upset.
What's going on, how good luck has been defeated again, in the morning there was half of the win and half of the loss, and in the afternoon it was all lost.
The concubine of the third prince who married the Wen family came to urge again, but the Ye family's ready-to-wear shop had already closed its door when it saw the situation, and it was like a mussel shell with a sealed mouth that had no way to start.
Thinking of gambling again to win it all back, Ye Play secretly mortgaged all the property in the fourth room, and swaggered into Ye Zuhui's study to find the deed, but was stopped by Ye Sese, who had been staring at his movements: "What are you doing in your father's study?" ”
"You don't care." Ye Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Sese, and was about to go out with the deed, but was targeted at by the sharp-eyed Ye Sese.
Ye Sese cried out loudly, and reached out to grab it: "What are you going to do?" That's the title deed of our family, what are you going to do with the family's house? ”
Ye Play frowned fiercely, and stretched out his leg at Ye Se Se is a heart-warming kick, kicking Ye Se Se to the ground and convulsing in pain, Ye Yu smiled and said: "I am in charge of this family, and it is your turn to speak?" ”
After speaking, Ye Play took the deed and left, leaving Ye Se Se to fall to the ground and cry.
Not long after Ye Wan walked out of the "abandoned ancestor Ye family", he got into the gambling house, and the gambling was in full swing, forgetting who his surname was, until an errand in the gambling house patted him on the shoulder and said, "Play young master, the official of Jingzhao Yin Mansion outside is looking for you." ”
Ye Play is betting on Xingtou, where is he willing to leave easily.
The official outside waited in a hurry, and when he entered the casino, he almost played with a knife on Ye, and Ye played with a disappointed face.
On the other side, in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, there is Ye Da who was sent by Ye Qiong to deliver the pleadings, and Yin Chen Dongliang of Jingzhao Mansion is wiping sweat in the hall, and there is the newly appointed master book on the side, which is Ye Qiong's second uncle Ye Chanyan.
Both of them are looking at a pleading, the writing is brilliant, the key is the handwriting, the muscles and willow bones, non-calligraphy can not be written, it is Ye Qiong asked his master Mr. Zou to write, the complaint is a few scoundrels to the Ye family's ready-to-wear shop to ask for filial piety.
"Lord Fu Yin, the pleadings were written by Mr. Zou, and this matter cannot be simply punished." Ye Chanyan persuaded Fu Yin.
Chen Dongliang expressed his agreement and immediately decided the case.
The facts of this case are simple, and there are several scoundrels who found silver tickets with the mark of Qiluo Lou as evidence, and Lai Da and a few people pleaded guilty without resistance.
The case should have ended here, but Ye Chanyan repeatedly insisted on the execution, Lai Da couldn't bear the punishment, and spit out the news that Ye Wan had instructed him.
Ye Play was summoned to the hall in this way, but he tried his best to shirk and said: "I admit that I have a relationship with Lai Da, and I also received Lai Da's silver ticket." But the silver ticket was Lai Da who took the initiative to honor me, maybe Lai Da deliberately planted me and stuffed me, I was just deceived by Lai Da! ”
Lai Da shouted in court: "You are talking nonsense! But I couldn't say anything specific.
Lai Da was anxious in his heart, when Ye Play instructed him to find trouble with the Ye family's ready-to-wear shop, he really didn't make a note.
There is no definite evidence, the yamen did not have the crime of Ye playing, Ye play left proudly, and got into the gambling house again, this drill was another day and a night, but when he came out, he was taken away in despair.
Ye Yu wanted to climb back and gamble again in disbelief, but the junior two of several gambling houses sneered and said: "Come on, play master, you lost all your family property, we still left you decent to not pick up your clothes, you better go back and think about where to sleep at night." ”
Ye Play buzzed in his mind, thinking that the four-room family property that was already in his hand came to naught in an instant, he rolled his eyes and fainted, and was thrown on the street.
