Chapter 544: The Chiang Family's Secret
alace gate to let in Ye Wen. They continued chuckling as they returned to their posts. 。For the sake of Night Temperature's words at this hour to enter the palace, what they were going to do, they did...Old Madam Ye desperately tried to figure out how many land deeds she still had, but the more she thought about it, the more despairing she became. Many of her properties had already been transferred to Ye Shengming's name, and even more had been returned to the Jiang family in Xiushan County.
Now she needs these things to save her life, but who can give back what she has given awayThat's right, the Xiao family! The old lady's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "I once gave my second son two estates, two shops, and a hundred acres of good land" 。It's always been managed by Steward Xiao Shubi, so these things must have ended up in Xiao Shubi's hands. Xiao Shubi must also have sent them back to the Xiao family for her mother. 。"Your Majesty, if you only investigate Madam Xiao of the Xiao family, you're sure to find something!" Master Lǐ Yúan wasn't satisfied with this answer, but he didn't object to checking on Madam Xiao. After all, that old woman had a bad relationship with their little girl. 。Then he again ordered Zhou Cheng: "Send someone to Lin'an Prefecture to summon Chi Hongfang for me." 。" The moment Zhou arrived, he should immediately go down and explain things quickly. He even specially instructed the errand boy sent out to be sure to mention that His Majesty was here, so that Viceroy Chi could come faster. " 。Shi Li Yuan looked at Mrs. Ye Lao again, his eyes narrowed. "Besides the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Jiang family of Xiushan County also holds a lot in their hands This deity has heard that you have been moving around like a mouse for these years. You not only got Lady Ye Er from the main house to give you money and things, but you even emptied the public funds of the Ye Mansion and sent them all to the Jiang family." 。"Is there such a thing"
The old madam instinctively wanted to deny it, but Yun Chen reminded her: "In front of the Emperor, don't even think about lying." 。“It’s true,” the old lady confessed, “but there’s a reason for it.” 。Our Jiang family owes the Ye family a life-saving grace. My father had the opportunity to become an official in Beijing during his lifetime, but because of the marriage alliance with the Ye family, he was afraid that the court would be too wary of the Ye family, so he gave up his future. 。The Ye family promised the Chiang family they would do everything they could to give them a good life, which is why they have been financially supporting the Chiang family for years. 。These old men also knew about it during their lifetimes, and he had no objections. 。"Even when the time is right, listening to music is enjoyable. "No opinion General Ye Lao doesn't have an opinion He simply refuses to acknowledge you! That's gratitude! But your Jiang family can't be too unreasonable, can they How so This favor will never be repaid It has to be remembered for a lifetime, two lifetimes. Even now, with the younger generation, we need them to continue repaying this favor Doesn't it make sense When will it ever end""It's finished, all settled, it won't happen again." 。The old madam was about to cry in frustration, but she was glared back by Lian Shi. 。"Not finished now" Lian Shi expressed dissatisfaction, "It's too late." 。I've never heard of anyone repaying a kindness by emptying their family's assets, nor have I heard of anyone repaying a kindness by sending their granddaughter to cheat their daughter-in-law out of money and possessions to support their maternal family. Your Jiang clan is truly something else! Fortunately, no one from your family has gone to the capital to take office, otherwise, who knows what havoc you would wreak on the court!" Lian Shi had always been blunt in her speech. Every word she said made the old lady's heart tremble with fear. 。But what the Emperor said next terrified her even more. She heard Shi Liyuan say: "Lian Shi, tomorrow send people to Xiushan County, raid the Jiang family, and bring all the confiscated property back to Ye's main house." 。“ Immediately obey, and then asked again: "After copying the house, will you exterminate the clan" "Your Majesty spares me! Your Majesty, please spare me!" The old lady was really going crazy. What a temper His Majesty had today when he came to the General's Mansion! Was he going to exterminate everyone who opposed Ye Wenyan How could Ye Wenyan have been so good After being married once, she could still be favored by His Majesty His Majesty's eyes...She wanted to say that His Majesty's eyes were blind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, and she didn't even dare to think about it. " 。As for the Chiang family, it's absolutely off-limits. Even though they don't have her parents anymore and she doesn't think the rise and fall of the Chiang family is important to her fate... 。The Jiang family held a secret, and a person. Though Ye Wenyan already knew about it, she didn't want the Emperor to find out, nor did she want that person to be exposed by the Jiang family. 。Over the years, she has continuously sent things to the Chiang family under the pretext that her family owed them a debt of gratitude. 。She used her gratitude for being saved and her father's resignation to silence Ye Zhenwei, but in reality, it was because the Jiang family found that scholar, who turned out to be Ye Sheng's biological father, and had been keeping him hidden in the Jiang residence. 。In the middle of Beijing, no one knew that Jiang's family steward Fan Pingxian was actually that scholar 。Of course, he wasn't always the steward of the Chiang Mansion. Chiang Shuo hid him outside for many years until he grew old and was worn down by time, no longer as handsome as he was in his youth, and even sprouted a beard early on. 。Then he returned to the Chiang family and lived under their noses, keeping it a secret from everyone, including Tang who had once met him. 。This is the greatest secret of Old Madam Ye, and also the most fundamental reason why the Chiang family has been able to blackmail her for so many years. 。She couldn't say it, nor did she have the face to say it, so she could only plead bitterly with the Emperor not to raze the Jiang family. 。Shi Liyuan let out a soft hum and didn't say much. He just waved his hand to drop the matter, but he told the old madam: "The Jiang family in Xiushan County, sooner or later, will have to overturn their fate, not now, but in the near future." 。"I don't make a move, not because I don't want to, but because I want to leave it to Aya." 。Matters of the Ye family should be settled by members of the Ye family, that is the proper way. 。The Jiang clan, evil must be repaid. This is the cycle of heaven's retribution, no one can escape it. 。This deity will wait for another month. If Ayan still hasn't finished the affairs at home, then this deity shall personally attend to them. 。>At that time, no matter what is found out, all those involved will be killed. 。This deity isn't a good-tempered fairy, nor is this fairy patient. 。Therefore, I won't give you a chance to change. It's best to kill them all, it's convenient and saves trouble. 。After he finished speaking, he waved his hand. Zhou Cheng immediately stepped forward and carried the old lady back to the snowdrift in the front yard. 。When he returned, Chi Hongfang also came with him. 。As soon as the man entered the flower hall, he knelt down to greet Shi Lifen. After looking around, he asked, "Where are the Empress and the Emperor Why don't I see them here This humble official still needs to kowtow to the Empress!"
Zhou Cheng was convinced at that moment!
Otherwise, how could they say that this official is so steady He's too good at judging the situation! His mouth is too capable! It's really true that different positions have different perspectives! The fact that he can be the manager of the night mansion already makes him feel like a superior person, but now that he has become the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, it seems to require this kind of awareness.
He was far from good!
Shi Lifen listened to Chi Hongfang's words, didn't answer, but nodded. 。This means that although I don't want to answer you, I am quite satisfied with what you just said. 。Shi Liyuan drank another mouthful of soup and then said, “Go check what assets the old lady of the Ye family and the entire second branch have, including land, property, everything. One by one, transfer them all to…transfer them all to the name of Madam Ye.” 。" He was stunned. The estate belonged to Madam Ye, not Miss Ye Why didn't he recall it belonging to the fourth Miss Ye Even when he saw his confusion, Lian Shi proactively explained: “Those things were all forcefully taken by the Old Madam from Madam Ye. Taking them back is just returning what rightfully belongs.” 。As for how things will be distributed later, that is also Ye Dafu's matter. The Emperor and Empress will not participate. 。"
Chi Hongfang understood and immediately said, “Your humble servant will go investigate right away. Your humble servant takes his leave.” 。He didn't hesitate at all, he just left when he said he would. 。While it is important to serve the Emperor, it is even more important to listen to his words and carry out his commands. He knows how to balance these things well. 。Chi Hongfang left, and Shi Liyuan was also full. After eating, one needs to digest, so he set up an array and covered the First Rank General's Mansion with a magical barrier. 。He used another teleportation spell, pulling the ground directly from both sides and swapping them. 。When landing again, the courtyard was still the same courtyard, the houses were still those houses, and even the people were still the original ones, but their positions within the General's Mansion had been switched. 。Night Flying Jade, viewed by a few, sent chills down their spines. But those who were working in the yard were even more terrified. 。Whether they were maids or housekeepers, all of them were petrified. No one could have imagined that suddenly people would rise into the air with the ground and then move in mid-air before crashing back down to earth with a deafening boom. 。Then the dust blended together, and in the blink of an eye, it was impossible to tell which patch of land had been moved. 。The ground fits tightly together, leaving not a single gap. 。Night fell, and the temperature dropped. Xiang Dong was also scared, clutching onto a table and sitting on the ground, not daring to move. 。 Zhuier and Ji Rong didn't find it particularly surprising, even Ji Rong was telling Xiangdong: "Don't be afraid, this must be the Emperor's Art. I just stood by the window and watched, our courtyard rose into the air, moving from west to east, just like riding a carriage, but more stable than a carriage." 。After it's moved, and then it lands, that's how it became like this. 。Oh, by the way, this location is where Tianwu Xuan used to be. While we were taking flight, Tianwu Xuan also vacated its spot, and we swapped places. 。"
The little girl said, "I saw it too! I saw it too! All the courtyards in the East Garden have been swapped with those on the West side. That means we've moved back to the East side now!" ">>" 。Our big house has moved back to the east side, and our young mistress has returned to Tiandance Pavilion. 。But now Tianduwu's house is much smaller than before. There's a lot of open space outside the courtyard wall. When we get back, let's expand it ourselves, making it as big as when we used to live on the east side. 。Xiangdong, listening to the two of them talk, gradually relaxed. 。Her young mistress had gotten a husband like the Emperor, so as her close attendant maidservants, experiencing some strange things was normal, right But...“How thick was the earth when it was pulled up” Xiangdong asked a very professional question, “Was the foundation pulled up too”She explained quickly to Zhuier and Jierong in case they didn't understand, “Our house has an underground secret room. If the earth is pulled up thinly, wouldn't everything inside the secret room just remain where it was”the people who had come, carefully confirming the number, and found that none were missing. She then stood up and smiled at them: "You've finally arrived. Although you're a bit later than I expected,...
