Chapter 103: Hole Cards

Ting An watched Miss Hua snatch the horse away, and was a little at a loss.

After a moment of contemplation, he had to run in quickly to tell his son.

Ye Chengwei was leading Lu Xiuyuan into the lobby of the Inspection Department at this time, and negotiated with the steward to contact and inspect the batch of corpses salvaged in Chu Jiangzhong, and saw Ting An mysteriously walking in, but there was no trace of Hua Rujin.

He listened to Ting An's whispering in his ear with a calm face, his face was cloudy for a while, and then he pretended to be casual and ordered Lu Xiuyuan: "Lu Dianshi, since the card ticket has been delivered, you quickly take someone to the Chu River and Yizhuang to take over all the corpses." ”

"Wait."

The steward immediately stopped Lu Xiuyuan, and bowed his hand to Ye Chengwei respectfully:

"Lord Ye, you are the champion appointed by His Majesty, you were sent to Jingzhou Mansion on business, and you were appointed by Governor Wen to try various cases in Jiang'an County, and the lower officials should give Ye Gongzi a few thin faces, but the lower officials did not dare to make claims on this matter, and Cao Jiang Yushi had already reached a conclusion before leaving."

After thinking about it, he leaned closer and explained to him humbly: "Lord Ye, it's not that the lower officials are deliberately embarrassing you, we are all people in the officialdom, and you should understand the hardships of the lower officials, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the country, and the slightest carelessness will cause a big disaster." ”

"It's just the nonsense of a charlatan, how can it be taken seriously."

Ye Chengwei's face was gloomy: "When today's son has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, is diligent in government and loves the people, and is trusted by His Majesty, how can you listen to the words of a warlock at will without knowing why." ”

"You can't talk nonsense."

The steward was afraid of Lord Shoufu and the members of the ministry, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful to him, so he continued to grovel and persuade:

"Ye Gongzi, my Lord Ye, you are full of poetry and books, you should know very well that when the great grandfather was able to lay a great career in this country, in addition to the grace of the current Shoufu Lord, the national teacher who has passed away also has indelible merits, although his old man has become an immortal, but his children and grandchildren dare not slack off."

Ye Chengwei is clear about this.

The national teacher who has passed away was once a Taoist, and because he was full of wealth, he gave him advice when the great grandfather started the incident, so he achieved the world of today's great cause dynasty.

Although this person is criticized by people as a demon, he is highly valued by the grandfather, so that all Taoist priests in the world can still be courteous.

It's just that there are always some people with ulterior motives who use this special encounter to deceive people and endanger the world, which is really a demon.

"The national teacher worked hard for the great grandfather to lay down this country, ended the troubled times, and rescued the people of Li from fire and water, this county respects itself, but this county, as a parent official, cannot condone someone who deliberately instigates right and wrong, and it is not easy to trap His Majesty today."

Ye Chengwei's eyes became even colder, and he waved his hand at Lu Xiuyuan again with a resolute attitude: "Go quickly." ”

"Lord Ye."

Seeing this, the steward had no choice but to turn a cold face: "If the lower officials don't comply today, does Lord Ye want to be the enemy of my entire inspection department?" ”

After that, the swords in the hands of the soldiers in the hall had all been drawn halfway, revealing the sharp edges.

Lu Xiuyuan did not show weakness, and with a wave of his hand, all the servants showed their swords one after another.

Just as the saber was rattling in the hall, Wen Yuming led his master Mu Xian to hurry in.

"Ouch, Brother Ye, Han Tongju, what are you doing?"

Wen Yuming was flustered for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "They are all colleagues who work together, why are they so stiff." ”

One is a person from the ministry and the first assistant, and the other is directly for the emperor, and they are all his subordinates, but he dare not offend anyone.

"Lord Prefect, you've come just in time."

After Han Tongju's gaze briefly met Ye Chengwei, he turned to look at Wen Yuming: "Regarding the ceremony of sacrificing Chu Jiang, this was set before Cao Jiang Yushi left, and the prefect took the entire Jingzhou Mansion, and the lower officials think that you don't want to form a relationship with the Inspectorate." ”

"What did Han Tongju say?"

Wen Yuming's old eyes flashed with a touch of cunning.

He didn't want to have a conflict with the local military and government, so he hurriedly walked to Ye Chengwei to dissuade him:

"Brother Ye, I have heard a little about the strange things that happened in Jiang'an County recently, not to mention the monsters and zombies with red eyes and white eyebrows, thousands of floating corpses appeared out of thin air on the Chu River, this is not a trivial matter, if you can't stabilize the people's hearts earlier, and if it's really like what the Taoist said, once it causes a big chaos, you and I can't afford it."

"Using a living person to comfort the souls of the dead, this method is unheard of, and the prefect is not afraid that these innocent souls will shout grievances to the adults at night?"

As soon as Ye Chengwei's words fell, Wen Yuming's hairs stood on end when he heard it, and a layer of cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

"Last night, Xia Guan took people into Baitou Mountain overnight to arrest the two monsters that disturbed the villagers a while ago, but it was a misunderstanding caused by two apes going down the mountain to find food due to hunger, as for the appearance of zombies in Hujia Village, I think there must be a basis for investigation."

Ye Chengwei said solemnly: "Now you only need to find out the origin of those floating corpses on the Chu River to block the mouth of Youyou, but the Inspection Department deliberately blocked it, and the lower officials want to ask Han Tong what is the intention of the judgment?" ”

"What do you mean by this, Lord Ye?"

Han Tongju no longer had a good face: "The lower official is sent by His Majesty, and he only needs to report everything to His Majesty, even if he has ill intentions, he doesn't need to tell Lord Ye." ”

When the words fell, he pulled out the saber in his hand and plunged it into the floor, his eyes flashed fiercely: "If Lord Ye wants to disobey the Inspection Department and the Inspectorate today, then step on the corpse of the lower official." ”

"It seems that Han Tong's judgment is expected to determine that this official will not dare to go against the sky."

Ye Chengwei's eyes turned, and the sword in his hand was pointed directly at Han Tongju's neck, and then slowly took out a jade plate from his arms, and said loudly: "Before this county leaves Beijing, Your Majesty specially gave this death-free waist card, and enjoyed the right to cut first and then play, this county would like to ask, Han Tong sentenced this head to be cut off or not today?" ”

Looking at the crystal clear jade card in his hand, everyone changed color when they heard it.

Although Han Tongju was just a low-level official, after all, he was not from an ordinary yamen, and he was more familiar with this jade plate, and the whole person staggered back a few steps, and hurriedly made way out: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Wen Yuming didn't expect His Majesty to value Yuanlang to such an extent, and sure enough, he was the person chosen by Lord Shoufu and the officials, and the treatment was different.

No wonder he was willing to delegate Jiangling City, it turned out that he had the emperor as a backer, which was really unaffordable.

But the sacrifice to the Jiang God was set by the imperial history of the river, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he had to carefully continue to persuade on the side: "Lord Ye, you are sympathetic to the people, but I see that it is about to be the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and how should you end up when you cause public resentment?" ”

"If the reason cannot be ascertained, the subordinate officials will ask for dismissal and entry into Beijing to ask for guilt."

Ye Chengwei replied with a firm expression.

thought that this hole card could be kept for his use, but the flower family was afraid that she had made up her mind to save Cheng Nini, and she couldn't allow him to hesitate anymore.

With his promise, Wen Yuming and Han Tongju didn't dare to stop it anymore, and echoed one after another: "Since Lord Ye is so determined, then let's limit ourselves to the Mid-Autumn Festival, if we can't find out other reasons, then don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

"I won't let you down."

Ye Chengwei coldly threw out a few words, collected the sword, and led the servants under his command to leave resolutely and go straight to Yizhuang.
