Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 331 Incitement
A well-dressed young man walked over, cupped his hands towards Ye Xiujin, and then asked in surprise, "Brother Ye has something to do at home, so he said he would come back in two days?"

Ye Xiujin also replied: "Brother Lin, I'm here today because I have something important to delay, so I would like to ask Brother Chongmao to speak for a while."

Although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything. Lin Chongmao followed Ye Xiujin to the room where Ye Xiujin usually stayed.

Without waiting to be seated, Ye Xiujin took out a 500 taels of silver note and handed it to Lin Chongmao: "Brother Lin, I have some important matters recently and it will take a few days. This is a 500 taels of silver note. I will entrust the matter here to Brother Lin." .”

Lin Chongmao took the bank note hesitantly. His family was not short of money, and he came here to do this good deed. If you know it well, he might be able to leave a good name.

But 500 taels of silver is really not a small number. Brother Ye handed it over to him without hesitation. He didn't write an IOU, and he didn't find anyone to witness it. But he was even more grateful for Ye Xiujin's trust. He is really a lifelong confidant!
"Brother Ye, what's the matter? Seeing that you look a little anxious, it's okay to say something, otherwise, we can't help if we are confused!"

Ye Xiujin shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, nothing, it's just something happened at home, and I think it will be all right soon. This is just in case."

This remark made the other party even more confused, and he had a temperament that was easy to fight against injustices, so he handed over the money in his hand: "Brother Ye doesn't say anything, then I don't dare to accept so much money for nothing."

Ye Xiujin looked troubled, hesitated again and again, and sighed: "A major incident happened in my family a few years ago. Brother Lin must have heard of it because he is from the capital."

Lin Chongmao nodded.

"Then, Brother Lin thinks my Ye family is a cunning and vicious person?" Ye Xiujin walked to the side and sat down, rubbing his brows wearily.

Lin Chongmao had some guesses in his heart, so he also sat down.

"If the Ye family are all cunning, cunning and vicious people, I'm afraid there will be no kind and upright people in this world!"

Ye Xiujin cupped his hands at him: "With Brother Lin's words, although the Ye family is ashamed, I feel at ease in my heart."

As if to find a confidant, Ye Xiujin briefly recounted the events of the year: "Back then, my grandfather had an affair with King Kang's grandfather, King Kang was bullied in the palace, and King Kang's grandfather wrote to my grandfather to ask him to take him home to teach him. "

"My grandfather has been a scholar all his life, and he didn't want to make friends with people in the officialdom, let alone people from the royal family. But the old friend was sincere, and he couldn't refuse, so he agreed to teach for a few years."

"Later, our family was still implicated. My grandfather and father were arrested and questioned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for no reason." Ye Xiujin thumped the table with his fists, and said bitterly, "My mother and younger brother tried their best to rescue them. For this reason, they sold all their property. Pinghou Shizi Luo Xinfeng came to my house and said that as long as we hand over all the deeds and go out alone, we will guarantee that my grandfather and father will be released from prison the next day."

Lin Chongmao was terrified when he heard this: "This thief is taking advantage of others!"

"If it's just to take advantage of people's dangers, money is not so important to my family, but those ancient books are the painstaking efforts of grandfather and father."

He wiped his face, and said again: "These are external things. My aunt didn't hesitate at all, she took me out and went out. After going out, I met my second brother who went out to find someone to clear up the relationship."

"On the second day, the grandfather and father we waited for were both stiff. My aunt also committed suicide in a fit of anger."

Lin Chongmao stood up and walked quickly in the room. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Xiujin said again: "The good thing about our family is my second brother, who went to the border gate at a young age and tried his best to become a fifth-rank official, and then brought me back from the countryside, and asked my younger brother and sister to use the money to run a book Hall."

"Gao Yi, Second Master Ye, Gao Yi!" Lin Chongmao's blood boiled when he heard it, he helped manage the affairs here, he knew how much it cost, and the money was actually from the money of the second wife of the Ye family.

"My second brother went out to play with his younger siblings before, but Changping Hou Shizi led someone to kill them and tried to kill them. Instead, my second brother cut his arm and sent him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the crime."

"But who knows, yesterday, the Ministry of Criminal Justice announced that the case would be heard, and my second brother was sent. For some reason, the son of Changping Hou who had such solid evidence was released, but my second brother was detained, and he didn't say anything. The reason for the crime."

"There is such a thing?" Lin Chongmao was stunned.

"My siblings and I are going to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire about the situation today, but misfortune and fortune are unpredictable. I will give the money to Brother Lin first, so I can feel more at ease."

Ye Xiujin stood up and cupped his hands at Lin Chongmao: "If the younger brother fails to come out, this place will be handed over to Prince Qing to preside over it. With King Qing here, you can rest assured that the matter of my Ye family will not affect everyone. The younger brother will make another advance notice. I wish brother Lin a bright future!"

After saying that, he left.

Lin Chongmao chased him out with a bank note in his hand.

There were still many people studying in the courtyard, and seeing Ye Xiujin hurrying, they were a little curious.

Seeing Lin Chongmao chasing him out with a large banknote in his hand, he was even more puzzled.

One of them, Zhang Huaisheng, a scholar who was dressed in simple clothes but was a bit impatient, asked, "Brother Lin, is Mr. Ye busy?"

Lin Chongmao was stopped, and seeing Ye Xiujin's back disappear, he sighed, explained the whole story, and said, "Brother Ye was afraid of affecting us, so he specially sent us a bank note before going to the Ministry of Punishment. Even the future has been arranged, King Qing will come to protect us, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhang Huaisheng walked out as soon as he lifted his foot, but was stopped by someone: "Brother Zhang, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the Ministry of Punishment. I am also a reader of sage books. I want to find out who is the official of these government offices that are supposed to plead for the people?"

All of a sudden, more than a dozen people raised their heels to follow.

Lin Chongmao stuffed the banknotes into his arms: "Everyone, listen to me, we must go, but what's the use of us going in such a disorderly way? Making trouble at the Ministry of Punishment? If so, even today's matter I'm afraid everyone's official career is over."

Everyone calmed down a bit, but Zhang Huaisheng folded his arms and sneered: "Brother Yilin meant that we should just be turtles. Anyway, we don't have to worry about money for the time being. In the future, the most powerful prince will come to protect us. These people waited for the library to be built, and they also gained a reputation. It’s really not a risk.”

The faces of some scholars who had said this were slightly red.

Zhang Huaisheng said again: "But Mr. Ye himself has reached such a point that he doesn't have to pass through here from his home to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he rushed here early in the morning just to settle us who are not relatives. I, Zhang Huaisheng, am a poor student. , I’m already desperate, and I’ve been given a settled life here, I only know that I can’t be ungrateful, let alone lose my backbone for the sake of fame and future.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. No matter how Lin Chongmao shouted, he didn't look back. The ten scholars who had made good friends with him followed behind him, their spines were straight, and they had no fear of death for what they thought was worthwhile in their hearts!

Lin Chongmao couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed helplessly: "Brother Zhang is just impatient. I said it's not that I don't want to go, but I have to think about how to go?"

Behind him was a jade-faced scholar who had been quietly observing the crowd, and everyone agreed with him, and he did not go against the limelight, nor violated the harmony. It was really rare for his appearance to be unnoticed.
