Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 402 Where the Wind Rises (Part )
He hated Ye Shixian to the extreme. Even if there were no conflicts between the two families, just based on the unscrupulous things Ye Shixian had done, he didn't want to have anything to do with such a person anymore.

Think about how many times Ye Shixian bullied my sister in the past? Why did my sister still want to clean up after her?

Ye Chutang turned the teacup around and then smiled faintly.

"Of course, there is no connection between her and me anymore. Originally, it was not my turn to worry about this matter. But... my second uncle is not available right now, so I have to resolve the matter so that I can have an explanation later."

Ye Yunfeng was stunned.

It’s true, how could he forget that there was an exiled Ye Heng thousands of miles away!

However, he didn't have a good impression of this family and couldn't help frowning when they mentioned it.

"Sister, you are taking too good care of them. Tongbei is so remote. I'm afraid he may not be able to come back in this lifetime!"

Every year, people were exiled to Tongbei, and countless died there.

Once you leave, you will basically never come back, until you die.

What does it matter whether Ye Shixian is alive or dead or not, and whether Ye Heng knows about it?

"Even if he knew, could he still bring the dead back to life?"

Ye Heng himself could hardly save his own life, let alone others!

Ye Chutang took a sip of tea and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Everything is possible. It's always a good idea to be prepared at any time."

If Ye Heng knew what had happened in the capital after he left, and knew that his family had been destroyed and he was now alone, I wonder how he would feel?
He couldn't bring the dead back to life, but if he went crazy, it was possible that he would bite a few people to death before dying.

"I will ask for this favor in the future."

……

"Xu Fengchi, are you kidding me? You said that this secret letter was given to you by Ye Zheng, but you also said that he has never read it? This letter is so important, how could Ye Zheng not read it if he already has it!?"

Jiang Zhaoyuan asked in a deep voice, clearly showing that he did not believe it.

"Huo Yucheng's case was indeed tried by Ye Zheng. If this letter was really given to him by Huo Yucheng, why didn't he hand it over immediately? Why did you wait until today to hand it out?"

There was some truth to the question, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion.

Yes!

There is no reason for Ye Zheng to keep hiding such important evidence!
Xu Fengchi bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please understand clearly that I did not conceal this intentionally. I simply had to do so."

Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Fengchi explained: "General Huo was imprisoned at the time. He knew that he was murdered by someone. He was worried that the other party would kill him again, so he had to secretly tell Ye Zheng about the existence of this letter. But Ye Zheng didn't know what was written in the letter at the time, because before he got the letter, General Huo couldn't hold on and died of illness in prison."

Huo Yucheng was first poisoned, then lost half his life on the battlefield. He returned covered in wounds and was directly taken to the Sky Prison for severe torture.

No one can survive such torture for long.

Huo Yucheng died before he even lived to be executed.

Soon, the entire Huo family was executed and became dead souls.

Ye Zheng knelt outside the palace gate for so long, but in vain. After being demoted, he secretly went to the sealed house of the Huo family before leaving Beijing.

At that time, everyone felt that the place was unlucky. There was no one guarding it, and it was like a haunted house.

It was there that Ye Zheng found the letter.

"General Huo repeatedly told Ye Zheng that he must not open the letter after receiving it unless he left the capital. So Ye Zheng took the letter and left. He should have opened it after arriving in Wuzhou, but unfortunately-"

Xu Fengchi paused and sighed in his heart.

"Before he died, he still remembered General Huo's instructions and passed the letter to Ye Chutang."

Hearing this name, everyone fell silent.

They were not unfamiliar with this woman.

Within just over half a year after returning to Beijing, his name had spread throughout the city.

His Majesty even allowed her to go on this autumn hunt, and she was even the one who treated the Third Prince's injury.

Now that Xu Fengchi suddenly mentioned it, everyone thought of that beautiful and gentle face.

Who could have thought that she had such a valuable piece of evidence in her hands!
"Ye Chutang naturally didn't know the contents of the letter. After she had been wandering around for three years and finally returned to Beijing with her brothers and sisters, she handed the things to me. When I first read the letter, I was also shocked and couldn't believe it!"

At this point, Xu Fengchi finally looked at Xu Jie coldly and said sarcastically, "Although the letter was not signed, it is not difficult to guess who wrote it from the content above. But I am terrified. I just can't understand why Lord Xu Jie, who has always been on good terms with General Huo, would do such a treacherous and unscrupulous thing!"

Xu Jie blushed: "You are talking nonsense!"

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Xu Fengchi was too lazy to argue with him and continued to explain: "Under great helplessness, I had to temporarily withhold this letter while searching for related clues. Fortunately, I finally saw the letter written by Lord Xu Jie to Yun Niang not long ago. The handwriting on it... If it is not written by one person, Lord Xu Jie, can you trust yourself?"

Xu Jie's chest was heaving violently, and he was gasping for breath, as if he was going to faint in the next second. However, he pointed at Xu Fengchi with trembling fingers, but could not utter a single word.

Emperor Mu Wu finally spoke solemnly: "It's just a letter without even a signature, how could Huo Yucheng be so careful?"

Even a fool can see that there is a problem here!

Huo Yucheng did not disclose the existence of this letter, which means that he was worried that something unexpected might happen during the submission process, so he only told Ye Zheng in the end.

As for why he had this worry... after all, he had been a soldier for half his life, and he had been harmed to such an extent, how could he not guess something?

Xu Fengchi kowtowed heavily:
"Your Majesty is wise! General Huo must know that once this letter is made public, it will surely cause a storm! And this storm - I'm afraid it will happen in the capital!"

Otherwise, he would never ask Ye Zheng to leave the capital before reading the letter!

If Xu Fengchi could guess it, who among the people present couldn't guess it? !

They are all old foxes in the officialdom, who is more confused?
However, even though he knew it, Xu Fengchi's direct statement of it was equivalent to tearing off the last layer of cloth and revealing the cruel and bloody truth!

——Xu Jie was just a cover for Huo Yucheng’s death. There was someone else behind him!

An invisible hand so easily took the lives of more than a hundred people in the Huo family!

Xu Fengchi's powerful voice echoed in the hall, leaving only a cold and dead silence.

It was unknown how long it had been before Emperor Mu Wu finally spoke. His voice was cold and emotionless.

"So, where do you think the wind comes from?"
