Chapter II: Giving Bribes and Seeking Government (2)

A few minions knelt on the stone steps of the council hall, Ye Yongjia wanted to turn his back and not look at them, but considering the qualifications of these minions, he should also give them some face. He restrained his anger and smiled reluctantly: "You may have something to do today, but it's not a prevarication. I heard Mr. Cheng shouting at you in the hall, Mr. Cheng was a little angry, but it was also a matter of duty. ”

The minions said yes in response, but felt that it was not enough, and the sound of kowtowing immediately sounded inside and outside the house, and this chaotic and meaningless sound made Ye Yongjia even more annoyed, and he had to persuade him: "Okay, no need to kneel anymore." Get up, call Mr. Cheng in and we'll have a good discussion......"

After Cheng Congyuan sat down, he opened his mouth to discuss the expulsion from Kouzhong: "This person in Kouzhong is cunning and evil, and if he has been in the house for a long time, it will be a big disaster." Don't look at him pitifully, this guy is narrow-minded and selfish, and he must do everything he can to climb to the master. Such a person will never be loyal to the Ye family! ”

This past incident actually taught Congyuan to be extremely indignant, and there was no room for refutation, and all the minions saw this direction and echoed it. Although Ye Yongjia listened to this opinion carefully, he still insisted on keeping Kou Zhong, and his will was even more resolute than Cheng Congyuan, and there was no room for refutation.

After all, he is still the master, and Cheng Congyuan has to give up. Ye Yongjia didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't mention it anymore after discussing it; But everyone sensed a hint of the change of heaven, and although this master had no such conspiracy, the problem he had been frustrated with was quickly resolved, and it was also due to this matter.

And his so-called depression in his heart did not discuss it openly, but asked Cheng Congyuan in private: "Does Mr. Cheng have any good ideas?" ”

Cheng Congyuan was still lingering in Kou Zhong's deliberation just now, and was stunned at first: "Oh, what's the method?" Ye Yongjia approached the root of his ear, "Teach them to hear bad things...... It'......" he was extremely careful. Cheng Congyuan let out an 'oh', and then slapped his leg: "Liwei!" Ye Yongjia looked around in a panic, and Cheng Congyuan slapped him fiercely: "What are you panicking about!" You're the master, what are you doing like a thief! They dare to rebel! ”

Ye Yongjia took a deep breath, his face turned blue.

"You can't be afraid of people listening! Even if you blatantly tell them, it doesn't matter! As long as the master dares to do it, they are afraid of the master; The more they cringe, the more they face! Ye Yongjia listened, and then said hesitantly: "Then I'll listen to Mr. Cheng." I don't know if you have any ideas? After speaking, he looked at Cheng Congyuan nervously and urgently. Cheng Congyuan was confident and laughed: "Let's plan slowly!" I have to go to the ancestral hall first and bring a few stewards. Ye Yongjia's heart slowly calmed down, and he asked carefully, "I don't know what this means?" ”

"The ancestral hall is the most important place in our family except for the mansion, and the master went there to change the servants who were in charge there, and he will definitely be able to bluff them!"

Ye Yongjia took out the appearance of the head of the house, and after muttering a little bit of matter, he said: "Mr. Cheng wondered who would take the errand there?" Cheng Congyuan didn't think twice: "Wei Sande!" I'll look at something else...... It's not very good, no one dares to refute it! ”

Ye Yongjia didn't know him, and Cheng Congyuan explained the origin of that person to him, so he agreed. It turned out that Wei Sande was a subordinate who had followed Ye Long for more than ten years, and because of his advanced age, Master Ye was sympathetic to him and made him live in peace, so that Wei Sande's lofty status was self-evident. This time out of the mountain, although the housework has been neglected for a long time, it is also logical.

"Mr. Cheng!" Wei Sande walked to the door and shouted. Cheng Congyuan also smiled: "Brother Wei is good?" Oh, I'm so busy that I don't have time to come and see you! Wei Sande pointed at him: "Mr. Cheng has something to say, he must have other thoughts!" Cheng Congyuan smiled slyly: "Brother Wei doesn't give me any face!" I have something serious to discuss with you. ”

"Hey, Lord invited me to take care of the ancestral hall, what else are you discussing? Let's go now! Wei Sande slapped the table and pulled up Cheng Congyuan, who was sitting on the recliner, "After the master leaves, there is no king's law!" When Cheng Congyuan was about to appease him, Wei Sande had already walked out of the house with resentment.

"Hard!"

The giant pines outside the two gates protect the solemnity of the ancestral hall, and several horses are lined up in front of the pines, dismounted together, and saw the dazzling gold plaque under the leading subordinate respectfully greeting. Ye Yongjia still felt a little cool breeze at the beginning, and the horsehair was slightly soft; When I got to the ancestral hall, although there was no roof to shelter me, I couldn't stand the slightest wind.

"There is a ring of trees outside the shrine, and there can be no wind here." Before Ye Yongjia could speak, the subordinate replied smartly.

"You're in charge?" Ye Yongjia asked while standing in front of the portrait of his own uncle. When the subordinate saw Cheng Congyuan's cold expression standing on the side, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he had to answer. His eyes rolled up and down, and he said, "Hmm...... The slave is in charge of the ancestral hall...... he paused again, "It was appointed by the master himself." ”

The tone of the word 'assignment' was particularly serious, but Ye Yongjia didn't take it seriously, just smiled faintly: "You go back to Qihe from today, here...... There are others to replace them. ”

All the minions were stunned, but Cheng Congyuan remained silent, while Wei Sande stared at the man angrily. The ancestral hall froze there, and Ye Yongjia didn't look at him, silently facing Ye Zhen's portrait.

"Don't ...... like this"

The man's knees trembled, and he knelt down: "Although the master is gone, the master can't ...... like this."

"You minions can bully the master!"

Wei Sande jumped out and shouted angrily, "When you see the master walking, you are all powerful!" The master said that he would replace it, and he would talk about something! He squinted and looked around, dumbfounded by the stewards who had come from the house.

"But I'm not at fault...... he whispered with his head down. Ye Yongjia's body trembled, but he still didn't speak, and Yu Guangqi saw Cheng walking out of the abyss slowly, and he was not shocked: "If you feel that you are not at fault, hurry up and vacate your seat." ”

"Why?" The man stared at him in astonishment and fear.

Cheng Congyuan strode up to him and said in an extremely stern tone: "If you dare to disobey the master's wishes, it is a fault. ”

Ye Yongjia actually broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't figure out why, when he heard this, he felt cold to the bone, even more terrifying than the minion's fear, as if he was in his shoes; He was numb, and when he saw the slave walking towards the ancestral hall with a miserable white face, he came back again, and after offering all the objects like seals to Wei Sande, he felt a lot better, and Fang Jin went to pat Wei Sande's shoulder blade: "Mr. Wei, the affairs of the ancestral hall depend on you!" Wei San hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"What about that minion?" Cheng Congyuan asked.

"Let him ...... Get lost. There is no need for slaves who do not listen to the master's command. Ye Yongjia said resolutely. He got up and looked out of the ancestral hall.

"Go home."

He never looked back.

The policy of Liwei can be described as immediate. Judging from the ancestral hall, he drove out an 'old minister' for no reason, but no one disobeyed, which shows that the new master's power over life and death is beyond doubt. Even so, if you really want to inject the word obedience into their blood and bones, it is impossible to stop there.

"Mr. Cheng should continue to seek for me, right?" Behind the curtain of the conference hall, Ye Yongjia sat opposite Cheng Congyuan on the circle chair and took a sip of tea.

"Although they are afraid of their masters, their power is still too hot, and if they don't kill their prestige, they will inevitably be overbearing!"

Ye Yongjia lowered his head and picked up the tea, "What should Mr. Cheng teach me to do?" He drank it.

"Another suggestion," Cheng stood up from the abyss, "build another one on the side of Living Water Zhai, and separate the two account offices, and the rest of the housekeepers are also in charge; When the service is over, the vacant space ...... You have to carefully pick and fill in the gaps. Cheng Congyuan stood with a fortune, and Ye Yongjia no longer hesitated.

Everyone had long been aware of the imminent situation of the mountain rain, but they didn't expect the wind to be so fierce this time, and everyone was even more terrified by this quick knife and messy strategy, so they could only hate the same enemy. But he couldn't withstand the master's strict order, so he lowered his head and sighed, so he had to do it.

At the beginning, it was Cheng Congyuan who supervised the work. But Mr. Cheng's temper was not harmonious, and he had already offended, the hatred was deep in the bones, and the discord with the minions became more and more apparent: at the beginning, a few small servants were dissatisfied, so they mixed in with the crowd and scolded indiscriminately, saying that Cheng Congyuan's 'harsh government', and even provoked a few people to quit the labor together, but Mr. Cheng only sent two or three people to take them to the council hall and beat them severely, which reduced the storm a little; in the end, even an old slave led everyone to make stumbling blocks openly and secretly, turning the house upside down, and Cheng Congyuan's bullet pressure could not make it restrict.

On the contrary, they were in a hurry, and the old slave directly pulled his throat and shouted outside Ye Yongjia's room, insisting on removing Cheng Congyuan, but there was no response from the room for a long time. The old slave's face burned red, and he still shouted with his arms open: "Cheng Congyuan, he thinks he is the master!" The master also regarded Cheng Congyuan as the master......"

Ye Yongjia didn't block his ears, he just pondered in the room, noncommittal; After all, in the past few days, Liwei has been almost crazy, and appropriate overkill seems to be a matter of course. So, ignoring the noise outside the house, he interrupted him: "Withdraw." You go back first. ”

The old slave was thinking about a series of loyal ministers' death advice, when he suddenly heard the master's softness, and he was at a loss for a while; After kowtowing to his master, he walked through a section of the road in a daze, and after a long time he came to his senses, he stomped his foot heavily and laughed maniacally.
