In the Yamen of Yizhou Prefecture, the governor Li Daofu and the chief governor Zhou Hao were drinking tea in the living room and discussing today's house raids. At this moment, a captain they knew, Guo Yi, from Zhechong Prefecture in Yizhou, led them. Several people came to invite them and told them that the private matter between Ye Sanlang and the Ye family was over. Now Duwei Chen had begun to lead people into the Ye Mansion, asking them to go to the scene to inspect as soon as possible.
The two of them were stunned. They didn't expect it to happen so quickly. They thought that the Ye family must have something that Ye Sanlang wanted, so they didn't go directly to the scene. Instead, they delayed their time in their own government offices and sold Ye Sanlang favors. . But Ye Sanlang didn't intend to reveal anything, which really surprised the two of them.
"As expected of Ye Sanlang... No wonder he has such a high reputation among the people. He is just as fair and selfless as the rumors say." Li Daofu couldn't help but sigh. He never thought that Ye Tianzheng, who looked stupid back then, could actually give birth to such an outstanding child. A son, it seems that he made a wrong move. You know, the plan to frame Ye Tianzheng was proposed by him alone. As a result, he successfully made Ye Tianfang the head of the Ye family. A few years later, he designed to get rid of the Ye Hu family. After that, he After the high school imperial examination, he was devolved to become an official. He finally climbed to such a position, but now his future and life were in the hands of Ye Tianzheng's son. What a trick of fate. However, if Ye Tianzheng had not met such an end, would Ye Sanlang be where he is today? Nobody knows.
But I admire you. Now that I have sent people, they must go to the scene to perform their functions to prevent anyone from hiding stolen goods.
The two stood up and followed Captain Guo Yi out of the living room, preparing to leave the government office. At this moment, a voice stopped Li Daofu, who was this person? It was Yang Shenjin, a member of the civil service who had good relations with Ye Sanlang's family. He was the emperor's special envoy sent from Chang'an a few days ago. Although he was asked to commend Ye Sanlang on the surface, he actually had other intentions.
The reason why Yang Shenjin was sent was because he was not a junior official and had a good relationship with Ye Sanlang and his son, so he was sent here. Originally, after Yang Shenjin was summoned by Emperor Xuanzong, when he learned Emperor Xuanzong's secret order, he was unwilling to do so. However, if the king wanted his minister to die, he had to die. Li Longji personally summoned him to give the order, and he also Just obey.
Moreover, on his way to Yizhou, something extraordinary happened, which shocked him and made him feel sad that Ye Sanlang had done such an irrational thing at this time. Sure enough, Emperor Xuanzong gave him other orders in the fastest way, and what was supposed to come came, but he was unable to save Ye Sanlang. You know, Ye Sanlang had paid a visit to Li Linfu at the beginning, so he could be regarded as a faction of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister sent this person, which has always made Li Linfu quite proud. However, the emperor asked him to do this thing, but even Li Linfu didn't do it. Even if you know it, you can't let Li Linfu know, otherwise there will be a danger of not being able to do it. He heard that Gao Weng and the emperor had a quarrel over this matter. As a result, Gao Weng failed to persuade the emperor. Even Gao Weng could not persuade him. He could only act according to the emperor's order.
But it also made him strange. After coming to Yizhou, he followed the order to reward Ye Sanlang first to appease Ye Sanlang's psychology. On the surface, he had a good time with Ye Sanlang and got drunk all night long, but behind his back, he secretly hinted to Ye Sanlang several times. However, Ye Sanlang didn't pay attention at all... No, it's not that he didn't pay attention, but he already knew it. Yes, you have made arrangements? He has always heard that Ye Sanlang has developed his own power in the world, and even all three religions and nine schools are impressed by Ye Sanlang. This is a major factor that prevents the emperor from keeping him.
"Yang Yuanwailang? I've heard that you came to Yizhou a long time ago, but I never had time to visit. Today is so important. Yuanwailang comes to my Yizhou government office. Is there anything important?"
"It's true that something happened. I'd like Captain Li to stay with me. Zhou Changshi will go to the Ye Mansion first. I think with Zhou Changshi's ability, one person can handle the Ye family's raid."
Zhou Hao was full of suspicion after hearing this, but on the one hand he was in a hurry to get to Ye Mansion, and on the other hand he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he left directly.
Captain Li Guoyi, who was stopped by Yang Shenjin, was curious and asked: "Is this gentleman Yang Yuanwai Lang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? I have admired you for a long time, but I am busy with military affairs at the moment and can't spare any time. If you wait until today's business is over, I will definitely come to visit you, and then I will prepare more gifts."
It seems that he mistakenly believed that Yang Shenjin was accepting bribes from him, but in his opinion, if he could make friends with this official, who had considerable power, his future career would be smoother.
"No, no, no, the captain has misunderstood. I asked you to stay because of the emperor's secret order."
"Secret decree?" Even Li Daofu was a little confused now.
"This is the emperor's arrangement. Next, the future career of you two depends on your performance today."
…………
Two hours later, the extremely noisy Ye family mansion gradually became quiet. It was not until the last two Tang soldiers moved the last box of finances out of the Ye family mansion that Captain Chen reported to Ye Sanlang that the property raid was over.
At this moment, Sanlang Ye, wearing a fourth-grade court dress, with one foot on the plaque with the word "Ye Mansion" written on it, looked arrogant. Under the stairs in front of the Ye Mansion, many people were tied up. The first to bear the brunt were Ye Tianfang, the head of the Ye family, and his son Ye Lidi, followed by a group of family members and servants of the Ye family. These people were very quiet at the moment, because when they were first captured and taken out, there was a lot of wailing, and many people begged Ye Sanlang, hoping to bypass them for the sake of being in the same sect, but when they saw the officer taking out After whipping out the whip and severely lashing out the ones who screamed the most fiercely, these guys all became mute one after another.
Zhou Hao and several subordinate officials walked out of the gate with a thick list at this moment. He looked at Ye Sanlang and the kneeling prisoners, and then at the people who were watching. At this moment, they were already close to confiscating their homes. Two hours have passed, and people outside the Ye family's mansion have already gathered together to watch. Some came to watch the fun, some came to see what the legendary Ye Sanlang looked like, and some actually came to listen to Zhou Hao's next report. , they want to know how much wealth the Ye family, the number one family in Jiannan Road, has.
Seeing that there were so many people watching, Zhou Hao couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Zhongcheng, are you still announcing this?"
"Read it." Ye Sanlang nodded.
"Okay... This inspection of the Ye family was all caused by the heinous crimes... This inspection of gold and silver... According to the above financial value statistics, the total value of the items seized in this inspection of the Ye family is …”
"For how much?" Ye Sanlang was also a little curious.
"For about ten thousand taels of silver!" Zhou Hao announced loudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded and fell into silence. Although they saw the finances that Tang Jun had moved for two hours, they could expect that the Ye family's property might be a large amount, but they did not expect that it would be a huge amount. can reach such an exaggerated number.
