Chapter 334

No matter what dynasty, people have a heart that loves gossip.

Blood, money, power, and celebrities are enough to make the onlookers excited.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the official was flustered, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask Mr. Xu Yuanwailang to come out. He was just a petty official, and he had neither the ability to solve the problem nor wanted to get angry.

Xu Yuanwailang was standing at the gate of the yamen, looking around with an unfriendly expression, someone hurried over, saw him at a glance, hurried forward, bowed and saluted, and quickly talked about the outside affairs.

"Master Xu, the Ye family is not easy to deal with. The case of the Ye family is under the supervision of Master Xu, so you need to check it out!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuanwailang frowned even tighter. He also knew something tricky about yesterday's case.

He is not a fool either, the Ye family must have come prepared to make trouble early in the morning, he is not the presiding judge of this case, why bother to force his way out.

Thinking of this, seeing that the little official in front of him was still waiting eagerly, he hurriedly said: "This case is presided over by Mr. Chen, should we report it to Mr. Chen first, and see what instructions Mr. Chen has?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to Mr. Chen's room. After walking around the corner, his pace slowed down a bit, and Xu Yuanwailang's mind was also spinning rapidly. What happened today is unpredictable!
If it doesn't work, his Yuanwailang is going to be the boss.

Mr. Chen, the servant on the right, is fifty-two years old this year. He usually pays attention to health preservation. He probably can work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many years.

The Left Servant and the Right Servant of the Ministry of Punishment are fighting openly and secretly, but Mr. Chen obviously wins Lord Shangshu's heart even more. Therefore, even though Mr. Chen is the Right Servant, he almost empties the Zuo Servant.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Yuanwailang's mind, he slightly raised his head to look at Mr. Chen, feeling a little anxious, but he didn't dare to rush.

It's already time for a cup of tea when he came in, but Mr. Chen is still drinking tea on the ground.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him as if he was merciful, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Still so impatient, how can you let Lord Shangshu and this official value you? Humph!"

The words of accusation made Xu Yuanwailang bend his back, and forced out a smile, he said: "My lord taught me the lesson, but how should we deal with the outside affairs? Please tell me clearly that there are more and more people onlookers. Isn’t the reputation of the Criminal Department bad?”

Mr. Chen's eyelids were a little loose, drooping down, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and yawned softly.

It's really old, I couldn't hold it back for a while last night, I asked my newly married aunt one more time, and today I feel a little bit out of spirit.It's better for this young concubine to go to the room less, because his yang energy will be tossed away.

He took another sip of the strong tea, and his clearer mind also turned quickly.

Lord Shangshu entered the palace yesterday, and he also told him to sit in the Ministry of Punishment today, especially take care of the one in the prison, and listen to orders at any time, but he didn't say what orders.

He thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Mr. Xu: "How many people are here in the Ye family?"

"The eldest son of the Ye family, the second wife of Ye, and a few servant girls."

"Ah, didn't you bring anyone else to help?" Mr. Chen was a little unconvinced that only two people could force the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to be like this.

"No, but there are quite a lot of onlookers!"

Mr. Chen is a bit annoying, if they lead many people, they can still gather people to make trouble and arrest them, but now it is not easy to arrest people in full view.

He looked up at the people in front of him, and said quite majesticly: "Go, no matter what method you use, let the people in first, and then you must dismiss the onlookers!"

"Yes, there are scholars outside!"

"So what? It's just a few talented scholars who have never seen the world, what big things can they accomplish?"

After Master Chen sternly yelled at him, Xu Yuanwailang was shocked, his eyes rolled, and he quickly assured Master Chen: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely handle it well!"

He hurried out, but at the corner of the corridor, he ran into Mr. Liu, the servant of the left, and was stopped by Mr. Liu.

"What orders does Master Liu have?" He secretly groaned in his heart, but his face was full of respect.

"Are you going to deal with outside affairs?" Mr. Liu is in his 40s, more youthful and vigorous, but Mr. Shang Shu doesn't like his style of doing things very much.

Xu Yuanwailang nodded with a bitter face.

Lord Liu shook his head with a slight smile, and sighed: "Master Chen, do you know the background of the Ye family outside?"

Xu Yuanwailang was shocked, looked at Master Liu in surprise, and said closer: "Commander Ye is a fifth-rank military officer, and he is a little far from Kang Wangfu."

Master Liu put his hands behind his back and smiled inscrutablely.

Seeing that Xu Yuanwailang's appetite had been whetted, he sighed quietly: "Master Chen never told you that Ye's grandfather was the teacher of His Royal Highness Kang Wang. Even Commander Ye got married, and Kang Wang went there in person. And the one outside The white-faced scholar also has a good reputation—Jade Master.”

"Ah!" Xu Yuanwailang understood, King Kang and King Qi were fighting, and they were affected!

"Hmph, it seems that you also understand that no one can please anyone in the first place. You are acting as a shield for Mr. Chen, understand?"

After all, Master Liu took his subordinates and left, leaving Master Xu who was stunned to think about what to do?
As the left servant, he has had enough of being oppressed and squeezed out by Shang Shu and the right servant everywhere.

Now that the whole surname is Chen, he will not be soft-hearted.

Looking up from the window, he sighed, "The sky in the capital is about to change!"

The confidant who was by his side also took a look and asked, "Why did your lord talk to Mr. Xu about this, and made Mr. Chen jealous for no reason."

Master Liu glared at him: "What do you know? Go to see Master Ye in prison, express our concern and helplessness, remember, it is best to ensure his safety."

"Do you want to tell Mr. Ye about the things outside?"

"You play by ear! If he asks, he will tell, and if he doesn't ask, he won't say."

His subordinates left in a hurry, Master Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, today, maybe he is going to turn around!
Outside, the official calmed down and persuaded: "Mr. Ye, Commander Ye is only involved in a case. After we inquired clearly, we will release it soon."

Suddenly, several women came out of the crowd, led by Mrs. Lin.

What surprised Yin Tao even more was that Young Mistress Lin also came.

She is pretending to be weak now, and it is not good to go over to say hello immediately. Instead, the Lin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned pale with fright, and walked over quickly. Shaking all over.

Mrs. Lin turned around, and sternly yelled at the officials of the Ministry of Punishment: "The Ministry of Punishment is a place to plead for the people, but now it is openly hurting people?"

Pointing to the money on the ground again, he asked, "What's the meaning of this? Extortion?"

Although Mrs. Lin misunderstood, Yin Tao didn't explain, anyway, the more chaos the better.

But she was really grateful in her heart, she didn't expect them to come back at all, especially Mrs. Lin, who looked polite, but in fact she never got close to others.

Yin Lan didn't come, she must have gone back to Zhuangzi, Yin Tao felt a little relieved, as long as Yin Lan was there, she could always help her cover it up.

The official became a little annoyed: "Don't want to slander our punishment department, when did you ask for your money? The dignified punishment department will be short of this money? If you say you will release people, you will release them. What's the hurry?"
