Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 244 Confronting the court
Ye Song was so angry that the iron whip in his hand swept the fallen leaves, and beat them to the ground, screaming.

At this time, heart-piercing cries came from the foot of the corridor.Ye Song looked back and saw a man pushing the maid at home directly on the railing, tearing the maid's clothes with both hands, and soon she was naked in plain clothes.

Ye Song gritted his teeth, kicked the long knife on the ground with his toe, and pointed it at the man's vest.

It was too late to say it, but then it was too fast, only to hear a violent friction sound in the air, and a cold sharp arrow came, as fast as a shadow, and it hit the man's vest in an instant.The man snorted and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the maidservant's face, killing her on the spot.

The maid cried and ran to the sisters.

Ye Song looked in the direction of the sharp arrow, and saw Ye Qing and Chun Chun coming out of the corridor at some point.Ye Qing held an improved and more accurate crossbow in his hand, his arm was shaking violently, his face was pale.

Apparently she had just fired an arrow and killed a man.

The General's Mansion is not an unreasonable place. They broke into a large group of people inexplicably, beat and smashed them, but even though the guards in the mansion drew their knives, they would not kill anyone. At most, they would be injured and fell to the ground, unable to fight back.It was Ye Qing who killed the first person.

Ye Song was surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Anyone who messes up again will be killed. There are laws in Beixia, and this is a legitimate defense, so you don't have to bear any responsibility for it." .”

The guards' swords were stained with blood, because of Ye Song's words, they immediately became excited and protected the maids and the two ladies in the mansion. If anyone dared to act rashly, death by the sword would be inevitable.

At this time, a gorgeous sedan chair stopped at the door.An old man stepped out of the sedan chair, with a sad expression and hatred in his eyes.The rioting crowd split into two sides, allowing the old man to come out from behind step by step.

How could Ye Song not recognize that he was the Prime Minister of the court.Li Xiang looked at Ye Song, gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear her into pieces.

Ye Song understood what was going on in an instant, and said with a smile: "I heard that Li Xiang is recuperating at home with illness, and it seems true after seeing him today. I just don't know why Li Xiang smashed my general's mansion with such great fanfare. What?" She restrained her smile, and her tone was so cold, "Is my general's mansion the one you want to smash?!"

Li Xiang was supported by his housekeeper, and if he disappeared for a short time, it was like a rotten tree about to fall.His voice was old and deep, and he said: "Ye Song, kill your son to pay for your life, today I will let you go to the Palace of the King of Hades to apologize to your old son!"

"Kill your son to pay for your life?" Ye Song put away his long whip, raised his eyebrows and laughed again, "Where do you start with this? Li Xiang, are you confused? Your family, Li Gu, gave you a dream or something? Yes, you want to find me to kill my son? What does Li Gu's death have to do with me?"

Li Xiang said bitterly: "Ye Song, don't you want to shirk responsibility! There is news from the border peace talks, and I have already inquired clearly that my son died at the border. He was not killed by the enemy, but by you, Ye Song. Yes! Now that you have done everything, do you still want to deny it?!"

After all, this matter cannot be contained by paper.Ye Song knew very well that if the old man Li Xiang really colluded with Rong Di's generals, he would definitely know how his son died.Ye Song was afraid of being stupid. She was afraid that this old man would not know how her son died until he died.

Ye Song sneered instead, and said: "I, Ye Song, never deny what I did. So what if I killed it, you have the guts to come and kill me." She walked up to Ye Qing and took Ye Qing's hand He said angrily, "But let me tell you, if you dare to mess with anyone in my general's mansion, intending to collude with Rongdi to murder my family and endanger Beixia's interests, I will be the first to kill you! As for Li Gumao, the national interest is at the moment, he deserves to die. Why, you refuse to accept it?"

Li Xiang was so angry that his face was livid, he was out of breath, coughing and wheezing, and he had the tendency to die of anger on the spot.Seeing this, the butler next to her immediately said viciously: "Hurry up, arrest this brazen woman and wait for the master to deal with it! Anyone who dares to stop her will arrest everyone here!"

As soon as the opponent made a move, he was about to fight, Ye Song slowly raised his crossbow and pointed it at Li Xiang, and shouted, "I'll see who the hell dares to try!"

When the butler saw it, he was furious, baring his teeth and claws, cursing: "Bold thief girl, how dare you point an arrow at the prime minister? Are you trying to murder the prime minister?!"

"Does this count as murder? I'm not like Li Xiang. I think that when Ye Xiu and I die, at least we need to premeditate." Ye Song raised his brows lightly, with a playful look, "Now it's just gathering people to fight , you have hurt so many of us, if you accidentally hurt Xiangye, and Xiangye is too old to take it, what does it matter to me?"

"You!" The butler was anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

But Li Xiang, an old fellow, is he willing to give up easily? While bending over to cough and pant, he pointed at Ye Song tremblingly, and said intermittently: "Kill her...to me..."

With an order, the group rushed towards Ye Song again.While the guards resisted, Ye Song squinted his eyes, moved the crossbow unexpectedly, and pulled the trigger.A sharp arrow pierced through the crowd and shot straight at the housekeeper next to Li Xiang.

How could the butler have expected that he was not prepared at all, and before he could even cry out in surprise, his eyes widened suddenly, and he fell straight down.

When Li Xiang saw it, his face was pale.

The maids in the general's mansion were also very angry, and they all rose up to carry it.Ye Song pointed the crossbow at Li Xiang again, Li Xiang's eyes finally flickered, and he staggered two steps back.Ye Song tilted his head slightly, with an expression of fearlessness, he pursed his lips and said, "Do you think I really dare not kill you? You sent it to the door yourself, don't blame me for not welcoming you."

"Second sister!"

"Stop, Ah Song!"

Today's morning was restless and lasted until noon.

Ye Xiu and the general had already reached the gate of the palace, but the guards at home ran to catch up with scars and explained the situation at home.The general continued to go to the morning court, but Ye Xiu immediately returned home to stop the turmoil.

He came back in time, if he was one step later, maybe Li Xiang's old life would really be lost.

Li Xiang cried and cried in the general's mansion, distraught.

Of course, this incident alarmed Su Ruoqing in the court.Because Li Xiangjian failed to kill Ye Song, he immediately rushed to the palace, tried his best to beat the big drum outside the court hall, and wanted to sue the imperial court.

The general's mansion was in chaos.The housekeeper hurriedly asked the people to tidy up the yard, Ye Song casually threw away the arrow and crossbow, and said, "Don't move for now, the old man has filed a complaint. I will save it and wait for the people from Dali Temple to investigate the scene."

The butler told the servants to retreat as he said, but in the process of retreating, the flowerpot was knocked down here and the door was broken, and the whole thing was even more embarrassing.

Ye Qing was terrified, with tears in his eyes, he asked: "Second, Second Sister, what should I do..."

Ye Song patted Ye Qing's head, and said: "I'm afraid of a fart, don't worry, you accidentally killed people to save people, and nothing will happen."

Without further ado, Ye Xiu went into the house to fetch a bundle of hemp rope, and took a look at Ye Song.Ye Song understood, obediently captured her, and asked Ye Xiu to tie her up and take her into the palace to face the saint.

So, as soon as Li Xiang was proclaimed into the court, Ye Xiu and Ye Song came together.

As early as on the way, Ye Xiu told her seriously: "Li Xiang is old and cunning, you'd better think about what to say for a while. As for the secret collusion between him and Rong Di, there is no evidence, so don't draw conclusions lightly, or you may be bitten by him. .”

"Bah, I'd like to see how big waves he can make." Ye Song said.

After entering the court hall, the brothers and sisters of the Ye family bowed their heads respectfully and knelt down to salute.At this moment, Li Xiangzheng was still crying, and when he turned around to see Ye Song, he woke up after crying faintly, pointed to Ye Song's nose and said, "What kind of enmity does my Li family have with you? You want to use the opportunity to kill my beloved son!" The old minister is over half a hundred years old and has been loyal to the country for decades, but in the end he ended up with a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, how sad!" He bowed three times to Su Ruoqing who was sitting on the dragon chair, "Please, Your Majesty, Make the decision for the old minister!"

Ye Song said neither humble nor overbearing: "The minister's daughter came here to plead guilty, just to pity the prime minister for the pain of losing his son. But even so, please don't wrong the minister's daughter and accuse the minister's head of crimes."

Li Xiang wept tremblingly and said: "Well, you are pleading guilty and saying that I have wronged you. Are you pleading guilty? Do you think that if you do this, the old minister's son will come back to life? I will accuse you of the crime, Didn't you kill my son?!"

Su Ruoqing frowned, looked down at Ye Song with his head half down, never looked at him, and never asked him for help.He said: "The peace talks between Beixia and Rongdi are coming to an end. I heard from Rongdi's frontier generals that the death of Mr. Li was not at the hands of Rongdi people, but by Ye Aiqing himself. Is it true or false?"

Ye Songyi said: "Back to the emperor, Li Gu was indeed killed by a courtier's daughter."

"Why?" Su Ruoqing asked.

Ye Song eloquently said: "First, our army's plan to attack Rongdi from three sides was decided by General Yu Wei two nights ago, but on the day of the battle, the courtiers were in charge of entering the east city of the palace, but for some reason the plan was leaked to the Rongdi people. , As a result, our army was besieged by the Rongdi army and almost wiped out. If the Beixia army from the south came to support, the courtiers would have died and would not have the chance to kneel here to speak. Second, General Wei ordered Li Gu to stick to the Beixia army camp and wait for the army to return. Entering the enemy city privately, not to mention how he entered, was taken as a prisoner by the enemy and held on top of the city wall, so that the enemy could kill our Beixia soldiers without scruple. Li Gu violated the military order and caused serious consequences. He should be killed." Li Xiang wanted to refute, but Ye Song didn't give him this chance at all. He spoke loudly and echoed in the hall, "Third, the life and death of one person is compared with the life and death of the soldiers of the three armies, and the national interests of Beixia." , the courtier feels that it is insignificant. If the person who was kidnapped that day was replaced by a courtier, the courtier would kill herself on the spot without waiting for the threat from the Rongdi people! As for how our army's plan was leaked, and how did Li Gu enter alone? The enemy's city, my servants, please ask the emperor to check!"

As soon as these words came out, the court was completely silent.
