Chapter 15 Transfer to Dali Temple

"Back then, Miss Fifth's parents were from an ordinary family. Because of their poor family background and the fact that they did not pay taxes, they were forced to commit suicide by you, Master, leaving Miss Fifth all alone to be fed!"

[Xiaoqin is talking nonsense. How could my grandfather be such a good person and harm others? My grandfather had nothing to do with this incident!]

[It was because my grandfather saw that Ye Zhi had no parents, so he adopted her and treated her like his own child! Now, there are people who falsely accuse my grandfather of killing Ye Zhi's parents! ]

When Xiaoqin said this, Ye Zhi looked at Ye Mu with hatred.

When Ye Zhi learned about this, she could never have imagined that the father who was so good to her was not her biological father, but was actually the murderer who forced her parents to commit suicide.

If Xiaoqin hadn't told me the truth, I would still be kept in the dark.

Why did her parents die so unjustly, while her enemy's family lived so happily? That's why Ye Zhi decided to take action, and she started with Ye Shu!

If I kill Ye Shu's newborn baby first, Ye Shu will be too sad. Then I can do something to make Ye Shu accompany my daughter. Then Mrs. Ye, who loves Ye Shu very much, will be hit hard and fall ill.

It was a pity that she had just started to act when she was caught by Ye Shu and his wife. Thinking that she had failed to kill her so-called niece, Ye Zhi clenched her fists, and tolerated the slight pain caused by her nails piercing her flesh.

"It's a pity that I failed and couldn't kill my little niece." Ye Zhi sighed and looked at Gu Jiangmeng with regret.

[Ahhhh! This woman is so abominable! She still wants to kill me! ]

[Mother, grandfather, grandmother, please do not show mercy! ]

Ye Shu hugged Gu Jiangmeng tightly, comforting the frightened girl in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Jiang Meng. Mother is here. She will protect you."

Ye Mu lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that after all these years, there were still people making a fuss about this matter.

At that time, the taxation forced the people to commit suicide, and I happened to be ill.

I have repeatedly stressed that if there is a famine and no harvest, we must not use brute force to collect taxes.

Who would have thought that his officials would instigate the soldiers to secretly rob the people of their food, and some people's daughters were even robbed when their homes were left penniless.

When he learned about this, he dragged his sickbed to deal with the officials and soldiers involved in the incident as soon as possible. He also privately helped many people solve their food and clothing problems, and even submitted a memorial to the emperor asking him to reduce taxes based on the situation of the victims.

And the common people who committed suicide were Ye Zhi's biological parents.

Although Ye Zhi had an uncle, he was unwilling to raise Ye Zhi. Ye Mu took Ye Zhi back to the Ye Mansion out of pity for her. He originally wanted to find a good family to adopt Ye Zhi.

When Ye Yuan was one year old, Madam Ye decided to adopt Ye Zhi as her adopted daughter. Firstly, she felt sorry for Ye Zhi because she had no parents, and secondly, she wanted Ye Zhi to be with Ye Yuan.

Ye Shu didn't know much about this matter. After all, she was already married at that time. She only knew that her father adopted an orphan girl, but she had no idea how her parents died.

When Ye Mu heard this, he walked forward and slapped Ye Zhi.

"You still want to harm Jiang Meng!" Ye Mu was so angry that his voice trembled.

Mrs. Ye also didn't expect that Ye Zhi actually wanted to kill her granddaughter Jiang Meng, and the last bit of love she had for Ye Zhi was about to disappear.

Madam Ye took one last deep look at Ye Zhi and said in a weak voice, "Liang'er, help me down."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew what they meant.

"Tell me, who instructed you to do this!" Ye Mu just wanted to find out as soon as possible who spread the rumors.

"No one ordered me to do that!" Xiaoqin still clenched her teeth and refused to give in.

[How could Xiaoqin not be instructed by someone? She is still stubborn!] [It seems to be Ye Zhi’s uncle. What’s his name?]

The original author just briefly mentioned this matter, and Gu Jiangmeng didn't know much about it.

Ye Zhi's uncle? Ye Shu had never heard of such a person. It seemed that she needed to ask her father about this matter.

"Father-in-law, let's hand it over to the Dali Temple." Gu Xun spoke up. After all, the murder of the general's daughter was a serious matter and needed to be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. Gu Xun was initially concerned that his father-in-law and mother-in-law still loved Ye Zhi, but now that his mother-in-law had expressed her feelings, there was no need to be soft-hearted.

"Just as my son-in-law said, let's hand this matter over to the Dali Temple." Thinking that Ye Zhi still had the intention to harm others, Ye Mu didn't want to cover up for her anymore.

After all, once Ye Zhi entered the Dali Temple, it would be difficult for her to escape interrogation.

"Take them away!" Gu Xun gave an order, and the guards came forward and took Ye Zhi and Xiao Qin away.

Gu Xun still needed to go for this matter, so he said to Ye Mu, "The son-in-law will take his leave first."

When Ye Zhi left, there was an intriguing smile on her face.

To others, this was nothing, but Gu Jiangmeng was puzzled.

【Why did Ye Zhi laugh? 】

[Oh no, oh no, I suddenly remembered that this bad woman seemed to have planted some witchcraft in the courtyard! ]

Gu Jiangmeng suddenly remembered that in the original book, Ye Shu was heartbroken after Ye Zhi killed Gu Jiangmeng. Ye Zhi also kept Ye Shu by her side to take care of her under the pretext of comforting her, and waited for an opportunity to put something that was incompatible with Ye Shu's medicine, causing Ye Shu to die with the dead child not long after.

Not long after, Ye Mu was reported to have accepted a lot of bribes and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.

The bribery has not been discovered yet, but the witchcraft hidden in the soil has been dug out first.

His Majesty was very concerned about this matter, not to mention that the birth date was his. His Majesty was particularly merciful by not executing the entire family, so the Ye family was confiscated and the whole family was exiled to a wild place.

And this witchcraft technique was secretly buried by Ye Zhi.

Although the plot has changed now, there are still similarities.

[Let me think where it is. Where is it buried? It seems to be under the largest locust tree in the courtyard!]

Ye Shu: Witchcraft!
Hearing this, Ye Shu was shocked.

You should know that His Majesty is most angry about these witchcraft techniques.

The emperor actually had a prince at that time, but he died young.

Coincidentally, a doll embroidered with the prince's birth date was found in the palace of a concubine, and the doll had a knife stabbed through its heart.

The emperor was furious and ordered the concubine to be buried with the prince, and all nine generations of her clan were executed.

If it is true as Jiang Meng said, Ye Zhi hid the witchcraft, if it is found out, wouldn't it be a serious crime that will punish the entire clan!
No! I have to find out for myself.

Ye Shu didn't have time to deal with other things. After all, this matter was the most important at the moment.

"Jiang Meng is a little sleepy, so my daughter will take Jiang Meng to rest for a while."

Ye Mu also felt bad, and at this moment he felt extremely uncomfortable, "Okay."
