In the crack of the door, a head first poked out, and then a figure slowly flashed out, looking like the housekeeper of the Ye family, walked out with a smile and arched his hand: "Bai Xianzun, what's wrong?" Why is it in such a battle, our Ye family has always abided by the law and never disorganized the discipline! ”

Bai Yunbian didn't have the idea of playing tricks with him at all, so he didn't speak, and stepped forward directly.

The butler's abacus was disrupted, and there was obviously a bit of panic in his eyes, and he wanted to close the door and retreat.

"You dare!"

Bai Yunbian snorted, "Do you want to test whether the sword in the hands of the officers under this official is sharp?" ”

The aura of the imperial court officials, the bearing of the official eunuch family since he was a child all exploded at this moment, although the Ye Mansion housekeeper on the opposite side showed off his martial arts on weekdays, after all, he was just a flat-headed commoner, and he was completely shocked, and watched Baiyun kick open the door with one foot, and entered with a mermaid, not daring to stop him in the slightest.

Behind them, after a brief silence, there was a roar of discussion, mixed with a sneaky applause.

All the way to the main hall of the welcome, I met Ye Wenhe, the leader of the Cao Gang, who was walking towards him.

Ye Wenhe laughed, hugged his fists and said, "Bai Xianzun!" On the same day, the banquet was goodbye, and it has been a few days, and the demeanor of the county lord is better than in the past! ”

After all, the other party is the leader of the Cao Gang, and he is also the helmsman of the number one big family in Longshou Prefecture, and with such a posture, most people should not be able to overdo it.

But who is Bai Gongzi, he directly said with a cold face and sarcastic: "It turns out that the Ye Gang Master is in the house, I thought there was no one in the house." ”

"What are you talking about, these subordinates were frightened by the county lord, they didn't notify them in time, they neglected the adults, and they will be reprimanded in the next year!"

Ye Wenhe smiled and made up for it, and then changed the topic, "Come, my lord, please, let's sit down and talk." ”

In this regard, Bai Yunbian did not refuse, and the two came to the main hall and sat side by side on the main seat.

Bai Yunbian said directly: "Ye Gang Master, if the official has something to say, last night there was a life case in Baihualou, and Long Ziwang, the son of the Cao Gang Dragon, was killed and killed, Ling Lang Ye Mingfeng is the suspect in this case, and the official came today to arrest him." ”

Gang Master Ye listened to Bai Yunbian's words, his face changed suddenly, and he said with a shocked face: "My lord, my son has always been obsessed with history, likes to dance and write, and has never been self-denying, law-abiding, where do you start?" ”

Bai Yunbian said calmly: "Gang Master Ye, the matter has come to this, is it interesting to act like this?" In this Chuning County, there are not a thousand but eight hundred people who know about this, can you still pretend to be able to do it? ”

Gang Master Ye was stunned, he didn't seem to expect Baiyunbian to be so direct, and sighed, "Lord County, what you mean below is that the nephew of the Long family died unfortunately, and I know about it, but this murderer is not a dog!" ”

Bai Yunbian said coldly: "Yes or no, after I return to the yamen, I will have my own inspection." ”

"Bai Xianzun, you don't have to worry about this matter!"

At this moment, an old man walked in outside the door, and it was the father of Long Ziwang, the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man, the father of Long Ziwang, the third elder of the Cao Gang, Long Zhengqing.

He hugged his fist towards Baiyunbian, "Lord County, the old man turned to Xiao'er's suicide note today, he actually committed suicide, this matter has nothing to do with Ye Xian's nephew, so I don't bother you." ”

Bai Yunbian looked at Long Zhengqing in amazement, obviously this news was completely unexpected by him.

Ye Gang Leader said on the side: "The county lord, the county government handles the case, and pays attention to the fact that the people do not raise the official and do not hold the official accountable, no matter what, there is a murder case in the jurisdiction, and the official reputation of the adult is lost after all, and it has been found that it is a suicide, which is a matter of two pennies." ”

He clapped his hands, and the housekeeper sent a small box, Ye Gang Master reached out to take it, and handed it to Bai Yunbian with both hands, "The county lord loves the people like a son, and we admire it so much, a little gift is not a tribute." ”

Bai Yunbian didn't answer, staring straight at Long Zhengqing.

Long Zhengqing silently lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at him.

In an instant, Bai Yunbian figured out a lot of things.

Since the education of his parents when he was a child, the knowledge he has grown through travel, after a long period of fermentation, under the inspiration of the scene in front of him, has quietly turned into the spiritual light in his mind.

The helper's son killed his own son, and his son's death was a foregone conclusion, but the helper was able to decide the fate of his own life.

If he finds himself to make deals and reassure himself, some decisions are not untraceable.

Thinking of this, looking at Long Zhengqing, who bowed his head and didn't dare to look at him, and looked at Ye Wenhe, who was smiling and handing over a box of gifts, Bai Yunbian almost gritted his teeth and said: "This incident happened in front of everyone's eyes in Baihualou, and Ye Gongzi instigated his entourage to escape and resist arrest, it is no longer a matter of the people not holding officials accountable!" Ye Gang Master, please Ling Lang come out! ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Zhengqing raised his head sharply.

Ye Wenhe squinted his eyes instantly.

"Lord County, don't you think that the Cao Gang is really easy to bully?"

Bai Yunbian looked at him coldly, "The wind and waves suddenly rise like the sky, and I press the waves to make the tide." Can the storm of the Cao Gang be greater than the wind of Shi Dingzhong, a corrupt official who was raided, or can it be greater than the wave of Qin Weizhong's traitorous downfall? ”

If Xia Jingyun was present, he couldn't help but applaud Bai Yunbian, he had indeed grown up, and he knew that in addition to pretending to be beepping, he was pulling tiger skin to make a big flag.

But Ye Wenhe also has his own reliance, and said coldly: "The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if Bai Xianzun and the Cao Gang are safe and sound, the Cao Gang can cooperate to ensure that within the jurisdiction of the county lord, there is no trouble, the government is harmonious, and the future can be promoted to other places without hindrance." But if you insist on going your own way, you can't guarantee what these tens of thousands of gangs will do! ”

Bai Yunbian sneered, "If you really have such a strong control over the Cao Gang, there would not have been a birthday banquet for the Third Elder Lady sent by the Fifth Elder to make trouble yesterday." ”

"You!"

Ye Wenhe also tore off the camouflage of kindness, revealing the domineering attitude of a character who is the number one in a state to treat an ordinary county order, leaning back, leaning on the back of the chair, "This gang leader just wants to ask Bai County Order, what if I don't hand it over?" Don't you dare to search my Ye Mansion? ”

But in this kind of battle, if the white clouds are instigated, it is not the arrogant white boy who dares to recite in front of Jiang Yuhu [The world only knows that the mountains and trees are high, but the white clouds cover the mountains and trees]!

He calmly said, "You can try it!" I also want to ask, if I want to search, do you dare to fight against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court? ”

Ye Wenhe was stunned, he really didn't dare to do this kind of thing that was tantamount to rebellion, but the question is, is your little county order just in charge of this one?

You're so brave, don't you want to think about how to end it afterwards?

Aren't you afraid of the Cao Gang's endless revenge afterwards?

Don't you want to be as difficult as you have been studying for so many years to gain fame?

So the old fox was stunned, and the scene came to an impasse.

And at this moment, a high-pitched neighing of horses sounded through the shadow wall, and then accompanied by a rush of footsteps, and a bright red appeared in everyone's eyes.

The red clothes are like fire, the clothes are flying, the ponytail hair is flamboyant and wanton, and the boots are lined with a pair of slender legs that are even more moving.

Ye Wenhe hurriedly got up, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Nan, are you back?" ”

When Bai Yunbian heard this name, he instantly remembered some rumors he had heard in his mind these days, and knew the identity of the person in front of him.

Ye Hongluan, the second lady of the Ye family who has countless supporters in Longshou Prefecture and the Cao Gang.

I saw that his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like cold stars, and his heroic face was matched with this neat dress, how could he be so sassy.

He looked at Ye Hongluan, but Ye Hongluan didn't look at him at all, but looked at his father coldly, mercilessly, "Are you old and confused?" How can you do such a thing to protect your son?! ”

Ye Wenhe was stunned, "Nan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ye Hongluan said directly: "As soon as I returned to the city, I met the eldest brother's stupid follower, told me your plan, and told me not to worry, I kicked him over on the spot and rushed over." How can you act like that? ”

Ye Wenhe's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "Nannan, let me introduce you, this is my Lord Lingbai of Chuning County."

Ye Hongluan said directly: "I know, there is no need to avoid him in this matter. ”

She said directly: "Looking at you like this, you still think you have done a lot of means, right?" Do you know what your behavior means? It means that no matter whether the eldest brother kills someone or not, you have already firmly placed this crime on his head! ”

"If the person was really killed by the eldest brother, even if you can avoid the investigation of the court law in this way, can you avoid the discussion of the hearts of the people? Can you avoid the pain of Elder Long's loss of a son in old age, and the white-haired person sending the black-haired person? It is a big mistake to kill the son of the elder at will because of personal grudges, and the gang leader is also covering up for personal gain, which is even more wrong, do you want the Ye family to consciously help the people? ”

"If the eldest brother didn't kill anyone, it would be even more of a loss. Not to mention all the losses and injuries just now, all the charges are still borne by our Ye family, and Elder Long's resentment will only be directed towards us, and the real murderer is at large, watching our fun, this is what you should do as a family leader and a gang leader? ”

Ye Wenhe was mercilessly counted down by his daughter, and neither he nor Long Zhengqing on the side showed any surprise, obviously this is not an uncommon thing in their lives.

Ye Wenhe was also woken up by this call, and subconsciously asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ye Hongluan directly pointed at Baiyunbian with a horsewhip, "Hand over the person, let him check, find out a justice, it was the eldest brother who made a big mistake in his mind, and we will try our best to apologize to Elder Long for forgiveness." At the same time, the situation is explained to the helpers, so as to show that we have no intention of partiality, and to help regulate people's hearts. ”

"But if he didn't kill him, I have to find out the truth and give justice to my Ye family. The Ye family can't be planted by such calculations! ”

"The power of the Ye family should not be used for stupid and disgusting things such as hiding murderers and trading power for money, but should be used to prevent the eldest brother from being tortured to confess and beat him into a trick!"

Ye Wenhe swallowed his saliva, "Can it be done?" ”

Ye Hongluan turned around and walked in front of Bai Yunbian, stepped on the case table with one foot, flicked the horsewhip, and made a crisp sound in the air, looking at Bai Yunbian coldly, "You investigate the case fairly and justly, and you must not extort confessions by torture, do you agree?" ”

Bai Yunbian, who was stunned just now, was frightened by the sound of the whip, "This official. Answer. Promise. ”

After saying this, Ye Hongluan went to the backyard in person and looked at the housekeeper, "Where is the eldest son?" ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to speak, Ye Hongluan's willow eyebrows were upside down, his eyes widened, and the housekeeper silently stretched out a finger from his sleeve and pointed in a direction.

Ye Hongluan looked along, snorted coldly, and walked quickly.

In the room of the Ye family's housewife, Ye Mingfeng was sitting in her mother's room, with a sad face, "Mother, I really didn't kill anyone!" ”

Mother Ye stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, my mother knows, don't worry, your father has arranged it, just a county order, how dare you embarrass our Ye family." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside the door, and then the door was kicked open directly, so frightened that Ye Mingfeng hid in his mother's arms, and then there was a disdain in his ears, "A manly man, when something happens, he just hides in his mother's arms and cries, and he is not ashamed!" ”

Ye Mingfeng listened to this voice, quickly let out a sigh of relief, stood up quietly, and his confidence returned, "What do you know!" I'm embarrassed to say it! What woman is as hot as you? ”

"Dare to pout?" Ye Hongluan snorted and stepped forward, Ye Mingfeng hurriedly hid behind her mother, "Mother, you take care of her, see if she still looks like a woman!" ”

Ye Mu also said softly: "Nannan, your eldest brother is busy now, don't talk about him more." ”

Ye Hongluan said directly: "I'm not here to talk about him, I'm here to take him to the county office!" ”

"Mother! I don't want to go! They're going to make me confess, I'm really not killing anyone! Little sister, you know your brother, you don't even dare to kill chickens, how can you kill someone, I was drunk that night, I really didn't kill anyone! ”

The eldest son of the Ye family was so anxious that he was about to cry, and Ye Hongluan couldn't help but slow down his tone, "I just knew that this was the reason why I let you go to the county government, do you want to live your life in the name of a murderer?" ”

"I'm not going! Is that where people stay in prison? When the time comes, it's meat on the board, and they'll be slaughtered! ”

"We have already told the county magistrate that he will never torture you."

"I don't believe it! If you really have that ability, you should protect me from the county office! You know that I was wronged! ”

"Are you going or not?"

"Don't go!"

"Then I'll give you two choices, first, walk out with me obediently, and second, I'll break your leg and drag it out."

"Mother! Look at him! ”

Ye Mu finally couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Nannan, he is your brother after all, you better think about it." ”

Ye Hongluan said with a tense face: "Mother, you are not only his mother, you are the head of the Ye family, and you are also the wife of the Cao Gang." There are some things you should understand, and you have to believe that we will not do the kind of thing that betrays him for peace. ”

Ye Mu was silent and moved out of the way.

After a while, Ye Mingfeng, the eldest son of the Ye family with a solemn expression, left by the white clouds, and naturally ushered in a lot of exclamations and cheers from everyone outside the mansion.

When the son of the leader of the Cao Gang committed a crime and was arrested by the county lord so strongly, the word fairness appeared in everyone's hearts for a long time.

And Ye Wenhe, the head of the Ye family, also sent Long Zhengqing away with an apologetic face, and before leaving, Ye Hongluan said to Long Zhengqing: "Elder Long, my eldest brother's temperament, you should know that he will never be able to do such a murderous thing, not to mention that he has always been good friends with Ling Lang, there must be something strange here, before the truth is revealed, I hope that Elder Long will not fall for the poisonous tricks of traitors." ”

Long Zhengqing glanced at her deeply, didn't say much, just said in a deep voice: "The old man will never let go of the murderer of Wu'er!" ”

When Ye Wenhe heard this, he really understood how stupid his self-righteous operation was.

When he returned to the mansion, Ye Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Nannan, thanks to you for reminding your father in time, otherwise it would have almost made a big mistake!" ”

Ye Hongluan couldn't help but shake his head as soon as he heard this, "Father, haven't you understood yet?" The other party is not coming for the eldest brother, but for the Cao Gang! ”

Ye Wenhe's face changed slightly, "What? ”

"The irons of our Ye family are the Great Elder and the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder have always been contradictory, and recently they have colluded with outsiders to incite so many riots, which has caused panic among the people in the gang, and even the Qin Cha has attracted it. If you think about it again, why do people frame the suspect for being the eldest brother? ”

Ye Wenhe frowned when he heard this, "If Feng'er kills the virtuous nephew of the Long family, then the three elders will definitely be jealous of my Ye family, and it is likely that they will be co-opted, and at that time, only the eldest elder and the second elder will support our Ye family, and there will be three of them." But the gang leader has two votes, and they can't compare to us! ”

Ye Hongluan snorted, "The Second Elder has always been neutral, what if they had secretly wooed the Second Elder a long time ago?" Three to four, coupled with the support of the people behind them, the Ye family may be slowly elevated, and this Cao gang will soon lose its surname Ye. ”

Ye Wenhe only felt sweat on his forehead, as if all the heat of this midsummer was rushing towards him.

"It's just the worst-case scenario I'm talking about, they don't necessarily have the ability to do it, don't panic too much."

Ye Hongluan opened his mouth to comfort him, "Let's deal with it like this in advance, and then we will also mobilize our own people to investigate the situation and strive to clear the grievances of the eldest brother as soon as possible." ”

Ye Wenhe was originally a person with a weak nature, otherwise he would not have been under the Cao Gang controlled by the Ye family, and he could still let the two opposition enter the Council of Elders, at this moment, when he heard his daughter's statement, he was a little bit of a master, and suddenly thought of something in his mind, and said: "Oh yes, that Qin Cha is coming soon, he is the champion of the three yuan in the company, it is said that his wisdom is unparalleled, he will definitely be able to help us!" ”

Ye Hongluan pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back to the room first." ”

She walked out of the living room, returned to the room, slowly took off her clothes, there was a wound on her arm and leg, it was the wound she had suffered when she took the guards she trained in the Cao Gang to the surrounding area to suppress bandits, the blood had soaked through the red clothes, dried up and turned brown, but her parents didn't even notice it.

She sighed softly and asked the maid to prepare water and wash the wound.

Let's take a look at Baihualou in a while.

She thought to herself as she expertly medicated and bandaged herself.

——

In the Hundred Flowers Building, Xia Jingyun successfully entered the building as a flower seeker in the rivers and lakes.

In the exchange with Oiran Niang, he unobtrusively led the topic to yesterday's murder.

Then, after some superb acting skills, I once again came to the place of the incident to observe with a lively and curious attitude.
