Chapter 103 Hole Cards
Ting An watched Miss Hua take the horse away, feeling a little at a loss.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he had no choice but to rush in and report to the Young Master.

Ye Chengwei was leading Lu Xiuyuan into the lobby of the inspection department at this time, negotiating with the supervisor to contact and inspect the batch of corpses salvaged from the Chu River, seeing Ting An walking in mysteriously, but not seeing Hua Rujin traces.

He listened to Ting An whispering something in his ear with a sullen face, his face was cloudy for a while, and then he pretended to be nonchalant and told Lu Xiuyuan: "Lu Dianshi, since the ticket has been delivered, you can take someone there quickly." Chu Jiangbian and Yizhuang took over all the corpses."

"Hold on."

The steward immediately stopped Lu Xiuyuan, and bowed his hands to Ye Chengwei respectfully:
"Lord Ye, you are the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty. You were sent to Jingzhou Prefecture on business, and you were ordered by Wen Zhifu to try various cases in Jiang'an County. You should treat Young Master Ye a little bit less, just because of the reason. The lower officials dare not make any claims on this matter, Yushi Caojiang had already reached a conclusion before he left."

After thinking for a while, he moved closer, and explained to him humbly: "Master Ye, it's not that I'm trying to embarrass you. We are all in the officialdom. You should understand the difficulties of the lower officials. The fate of the country rises and falls, and a little carelessness will lead to great disaster."

"It's just the nonsense of a charlatan, how can it be taken seriously."

Ye Chengwei showed a look of displeasure: "Today's son has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, diligently governed and loved the people, and you are trusted by His Majesty. How can you just listen to the words of a sorcerer without knowing the reason?"

"This must not be said indiscriminately."

The officer in charge was afraid of Mr. Shoufu and the officials, and did not dare to disrespect him, so he continued to persuasion humbly:

"Young Master Ye, my Lord Ye, you have read a lot of poetry and books, so you should be very clear that the great ancestor was able to lay down the great cause of the country, except for the kindness of the chief assistant today, and the deceased national teacher also He has made indelible contributions, even though he has become an immortal, his children and grandchildren dare not neglect him."

Ye Chengwei is clear about this.

The national teacher who has passed away was once a Taoist, and because he was full of knowledge, he often advised the great grandfather when he was in trouble, so he achieved the world of the Daye dynasty today.

Although this person was criticized by people as a monster, he was highly regarded by the great grandfather, so all Taoist priests in the world can still be treated with courtesy.

It's just that there are always people with ulterior motives who take advantage of this special encounter to deceive people and endanger the world, and they are really demons.

"The national teacher worked so hard to lay down this country for the great grandfather, ended the troubled times, and rescued the people from the fire and water. This county respects it, but as a parent and official, this county can't allow someone to deliberately instigate right and wrong, and trap your majesty today. It's not easy."

Ye Chengwei's eyes became colder, and he waved at Lu Xiuyuan again with a decisive attitude: "Go quickly."

"Master Ye."

Seeing this, Guanshi Tongju had no choice but to turn cold-faced: "If the lower official doesn't obey today, is it possible that Mr. Ye wants to make an enemy of my entire inspection department?"

After all, the sabers in the hands of the soldiers in the hall have been drawn halfway, revealing the sharp blades.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't show weakness either. With a big wave of his hand, all the guards showed their swords one after another.

Just as the swords were on the verge of breaking out in the hall, Wen Yuming hurried in, leading his master Mu Xian.

"Oh, Brother Ye, Han Tongpan, what are you doing?"

Wen Yuming was flustered when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "We are all colleagues who work together, why are we so stiff."

One is a member of the Ministry of Officials and Chief Assistant, and the other is directly working for the emperor. They are all his subordinates, but he dare not offend anyone.

"Master Zhifu, you came just in time."

After Han Tongpan's eyes briefly met Ye Chengwei's, he turned to Wen Yuming: "The grand ceremony for offering sacrifices to Chujiang was arranged by Yushi Caojiang before he left. The magistrate took over the entire Jingzhou mansion, and the next official wants to You don't want to form a bridge with the Inspectorate, do you?"

"What did Han Tong judge say?"

A cunning flashed across Wen Yuming's old eyes.

Naturally, he didn't want to have conflicts with the local military and government, so he hurriedly walked up to Ye Chengwei to dissuade him:
"Brother Ye, the government has heard a little about the strange things that happened in Jiang'an County recently, not to mention the monsters and zombies with red eyes and white eyebrows. Thousands of floating corpses appeared on the Chu River out of thin air. Stabilize the hearts of the people, and if it really causes chaos as the Taoist said, you and I can't bear it."

"Using the living to comfort the dead and undead, this method is unheard of in an official, the magistrate is not afraid that these innocent souls will cry out to you at night?"

As soon as Ye Chengwei's words fell, Wen Yuming's hairs stood on end, and a layer of cold sweat already oozed from his forehead.

"Last night, the officials brought people into Baitou Mountain overnight to arrest the two monsters that harassed the villagers a while ago. It was just a misunderstanding caused by two apes going down the mountain due to hunger. There must be evidence to check."

Ye Chengwei said solemnly: "Now it is only necessary to find out the origin of those floating corpses on the Chu River to stop everyone's mouths, but the inspection department deliberately blocked it, and the next official wants to ask Han Tongpan what is his intention?" ?”

"What does Master Ye mean by this?"

Han Tongpan's face no longer looked good: "Your majesty is dispatched by His Majesty, and you only need to report everything to His Majesty, even if you have ulterior motives, you don't need to report to Lord Ye."

After saying that, he pulled out the saber in his hand and thrust it into the floor fiercely, his eyes flashed fiercely: "If Mr. Ye wants to disobey the inspection department and the inspectorate today, then he will step over the corpse of the subordinate official."

"It seems that Han Tongpan is sure that I will not dare to go against the sky."

Ye Chengwei turned his eyes, pointed the sword in his hand directly at Han Tongpan's neck, then slowly took out a jade tablet from his pocket, and said loudly: "Before this county leaves Beijing, His Majesty specially bestowed you with this death-preventing waist card. , enjoys the right to beheaded first, and the county would like to ask, Han Tong judged whether the head will be beheaded or not today?"

Seeing the crystal clear jade tablet in his hand, everyone's expressions changed.

Although Han Tongpan was just a low-level official, he didn't come from an ordinary yamen after all, and he was more familiar with the jade plaque. He staggered back a few steps and hurried out of the way: "I dare not."

Wen Yuming didn't expect that His Majesty would value Zhuangyuan Lang to such an extent. He was indeed selected by the Chief Assistant and the Ministry of Officials, so the treatment was different.

No wonder he was willing to devolve Jiangling City. It turned out that the emperor had the backing of him, which really couldn't be provoked.

But offering sacrifices to the God of the River was decided by Yushi Caojiang, and he did not dare to be sloppy, so he continued to persuasion cautiously from the side: "Master Ye, you are sympathetic to the hearts of the people. The government is deeply impressed, but it is almost here. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when you regenerate branches and cause public grievances, how will it end?"

"If the reason can't be found out, I will ask you to be dismissed and go to Beijing to plead guilty."

Ye Chengwei replied with a firm expression.

I thought that this hole card could be kept for others to use, but the girl from the Hua family probably made up her mind to save Cheng Nini, so she couldn't allow him to hesitate any longer.

With his promise, Wen Yuming and Han Tongpan didn't dare to stop him, and they all agreed: "Since Mr. Ye is so determined, let's limit ourselves to the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we can't find other reasons, then don't blame me for being ruthless. "

"I will not disappoint my lords."

Ye Chengwei threw out a few words coldly, put away his sword, and led the servants under his rule to leave resolutely, heading straight for Yizhuang.
