step by step

Chapter 120
Mrs. Xue was shocked and speechless when she heard the words, her heart burst into shock.

Ye Zhengping's patience was exhausted, "Come here! Take all the people in this courtyard to the ancestral hall! Interrogate them together!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of soldiers set off, drawing out their long knives and pointing at the crowd, their eyes were cold and full of threats.

"What are you doing?!" Mrs. Xue's complexion suddenly changed.

She didn't even dare to think about the situation of the interrogation in Yefu's ancestral hall.

Even though she had tortured Ye Fugui's master and servant in the ancestral hall, she had the mentality of humiliating the Ye family.

She knew in her heart that that place meant a lot to the Ye family.

This ancestral hall is the most solemn place in Ye Mansion, where the ancestor tablets are enshrined. It is not only the mourning hall of Ye Mansion, but also the punishment place for Ye Mansion to exercise family law.

There are thirty-three ancestral tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall. Each tablet represents a period of history and is the glory of the Ye family!

It is also the loyalty and trust of the ancestors to the Ye family.

Ye Zhengping is trying to make an example of others!

Seeing this, everyone in the Ye Mansion turned pale with fright and wanted to run away, but they were all frightened by the Ye Family Army and stopped in their tracks, not daring to move.

"What am I going to do? Naturally, I want the ancestors of the Ye family to take a good look at the faces of your Xue family!" Ye Zhengping said bluntly.

"Ye Zhengping, you bastard!" Mrs. Xue screamed, rushed to Xue Zhengping, pointed at him and cursed, "Do you still want to use the Ye family's law to deal with my old woman?! Do you know you What are you doing! You are going to disobey your master! Are you betraying Ye Fu?!"

Ye Zhengping glared at Mrs. Xue sharply, "Betraying the Ye family? Mrs. Xue, ask yourself, are you worthy of the title of Patriarch of the Ye family?! The Ye family's property has always belonged only to people with the surname Ye! It doesn’t belong to anyone with a foreign surname! If you hadn’t deliberately abused the descendants of the Ye family, how could I, Ye, be punished in the ancestral hall for no reason!”

Seeing that Ye Zhengping didn't feel guilty at all, and that he was plausible, Mrs. Xue became even angrier in her heart, and said sharply, "You are disrespectful! You spew blood!"

"Spitting blood?" Ye Zhengping sneered, "You know what you did yourself! If I don't let me sort this out, I will definitely not let it go! I took all the people here to the ancestral hall today, just for the sake of fairness Just deal with it!"

After Ye Zhengping finished speaking, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Do it!"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xue and her maidservants were subdued by several soldiers and escorted towards the ancestral hall.

The rest of the servants were also detained in an instant, and they were frightened out of their wits. They knelt down and begged for mercy, howling endlessly.

Xue Zhiyan in the crowd turned pale when she saw the fire burning on her body, and became anxious.

If she had known this, she should have run away immediately after going to invite Ji Sinian.

Now I really can't go up and down.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Ji Sinian in the distance, with a hint of hope in her eyes.

But seeing the young man lowering his eyes quietly, with a look of letting others slaughter him, the hope in his heart fell completely in an instant.

She silently lowered her head, clenched her fingers, and thought about it.

Seeing that Ye Zhengping had arrested all members of her Xue family, Mrs. Xue was terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "Ye Zhengping, are you planning to rebel?!"

Ye Zhengping didn't turn his head when he heard the words, and didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

"You!" Mrs. Xue was trembling with anger, pointing at Ye Zhengping and yelling, "You bastard! How dare you treat me like this? Just wait, when Huai Dan comes back, I will let him report to the emperor and punish you!" The crime of treason!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhengping stopped in his tracks, turned around slowly, and a stern look appeared in his eyes, "Ye is waiting here in Jindu City to see who is to be punished!"

After speaking, he continued to lead people to the ancestral hall.

"Old lady, my servant will accompany you to the ancestral hall first, after a while the old lady will say a few good words, and this servant will persuade the old lady a few more times, I believe Commander Ye will not go too far!" Nurse Yuliu next to Mrs. Xue comforted her in a low voice. road.

She already knew in her heart that in terms of power, the Xue family couldn't overwhelm Ye Zhengping, and there was still a chance of being subdued.

Mrs. Xue exploded in anger when she heard the words, and gave her a hard look, "Useless things, get away, you don't need to be hypocritical!"

"Old lady, calm down!" Aunt Yuliu hurriedly apologized.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Xue snorted coldly, and cast a displeased glance at the crying maid beside her, then turned her head to look at the figure of Ye Zhengping and others, her eyes filled with hatred and resentment.

When Xue Huaidan comes back, she must deal with these people severely, and then no one is allowed to stop her!
The group soon arrived at the Ye Mansion Ancestral Hall.

A lantern was hung on the four walls of the ancestral hall, and the flame flickered, illuminating the entire ancestral hall faintly, making it look a little depressed.

Under the dim candlelight, more than [-] memorial tablets were placed neatly and orderly in front of them, covering the entire wall.

All kinds of patterns and characters are engraved on the tablets, some of which are the clan emblems of the Ye family, and some are the names of Ye's ancestors.

"Kneel down!" Ye Zhengping ordered coldly to Mrs. Xue and the maidservants.

Forced by this oppressive momentum, the servants fell to their knees one after another.

"How dare you!" Mrs. Xue roared angrily.

Although she is the mistress of the Ye family, she is from the surname Xue. How could she kneel down before the ancestors of the Ye family!
Not to mention kowtowing to the ancestors of the Ye family to admit their mistakes.

"Could it be that Mrs. Xue doesn't want to be reasonable and wants Ye to fight with you?" Ye Zhengping's tone was full of deterrence.

When Mrs. Xue heard the words, she trembled all over with fright, and looked at the man in front of her with a look of panic, her heart trembling for a while.

"Old lady, let's pay homage to the ancestors of the Ye family!" Aunt Yuliu, who was at the side, saw that old lady Xue was hesitant, and hurriedly persuaded her.

Old Madam Xue gritted her teeth, but after all, she couldn't resist the fear in her heart, and tremblingly knelt down on the futon.

When Ye Zhengping saw this, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

How could he not understand what the Xue family was thinking?It's just because I'm afraid of the power of the Ye family that I have to swallow my anger!

He swept around the many servants and wives kneeling on both sides of the futon, and said, "The ancestors of the Ye family are on the top. Today, members of the Xue family kneel in front of your tablet to accept the crime. Do you have any opinions?" ?!"

Everyone fell silent and kowtowed respectfully.

"You..." Mrs. Xue almost cursed.

She endured it, lowered her head and kowtowed to the memorial tablet a few times, but her heart was full of sadness.

After kneeling for incense, Mrs. Xue raised her head, and was about to curse Yuliu Yuliu, but when she saw Ye Zhengping standing in front of the memorial tablet, she immediately swallowed her words.

"Mrs. Xue, do you know why Ye insisted on making you kneel to the ancestors of the Ye family?" Ye Zhengping stared at Mrs. Xue condescendingly, and said coldly.
