The courtiers were upset, but because they maintained their identity, they would not discuss it in public.
The ordinary people in the periphery didn't care about this, and they all talked about it with spit.
"Oh my god, it turns out that Mr. Ye has been eyeing Sui'an Ren's personal maid for a long time, and later attacked Sui'an Ren's son. It's hard not to suspect that it was deliberate revenge!"
"Master Ye is a civil servant, how can he be qualified to interfere in military matters? He must be trying to force the people of Sui'an to hand over the maid. What an old pervert!"
"Master Ye targeted his maid beforehand, and then almost beat his son to death. Any mother would be furious. The Sui'an people only gave him fifty lashes, which is an advantage."
"Actually, I heard that Master Ye was not seriously injured at all. Think about how strong a woman can be, just scratching an itch."
"Furthermore, there are all kinds of rumors circulating in the capital this time, all of which are unfavorable to the people of Sui'an. I always feel that someone is secretly adding fuel to the flames."
"The Ye family has such a deep plan!"
No one will doubt the authenticity of Cheng Wanwan's words.
Because there is a large public here, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and the emperor and empress have not left yet... If she adulterates a word, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. Who dares to deliberately offend the holy face!
The head of the Ye family was so angry that he almost exploded.
What a person from Sui'an, pretending to apologize, but actually suing the Ye family in front of the civil and military officials... molesting the maid is nothing, the main thing is that the Ye family can frequently enter and exit the military camp, and can handle small soldiers... this matter If the child gets older, it will become more serious, and it might even involve Yun Bin...
So poisonous! Too poisonous!
Unable to suppress his anger, Deputy Captain Ye stepped towards Cheng Wanwan with an arrow.
"What are you doing!" The head of the Ye family said angrily, "Stop it and go back!"
With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, if he loses control and attacks the Sui'an people, then the Ye family will really be doomed.
Amid everyone's gazes and accusations, the two Ye family members left in a hurry like rats crossing the street.
Most of the people present believed Cheng Wanwan's words, especially the eighth- and ninth-rank officials. Many people were angry with the Ye family and wished that the Ye family would go downhill. There was heavy condemnation in their eyes.
However, some people believe it, and naturally some people don’t.
Master He, the head of the He family, glanced at Cheng Wanwan: "This person from Sui'an has such a deep scheming plan. He Yan fell into her hands in the first place. It's not a loss."
He Ling said: "I always feel that the Sui'an people are exaggerating. She is undoubtedly facing the Ye family head-on. The Ye family has Yun Concubine as a backer. This time the Sui'an people have injured one thousand enemies, and they will also suffer eight losses." That’s it.”
Another member of the He family said: "The people of Sui'an are not exaggerating. This Ye Lingbo is always a bastard. After Yun concubine gave birth to the fifth prince a year ago, she used her favor to place Ye Lingbo in the Ministry of War. He didn't want to bring glory to the Ye family. , wandering around the flowers every day, I heard that several good women were ruined by him."
"Which young man in the capital hasn't wandered around the flowers?" He Ling said softly, "It's a blessing for those so-called good family women to marry into the Ye family. They deliberately took Qiao just to get more benefits. Otherwise, why is Ye Lingbo okay so far?"
The He family walked away while talking.
Cheng Wanwan didn't stay any longer and walked out of the square step by step.
At the exit of the square, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Lin were waiting for her, both of them looking anxious.
"Sui'an people, you are too impulsive." Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice, "This time you are tearing off the Ye family's face, throwing it on the ground, and stepping on it. You just stepped on it yourself, and you asked all the people to step on it too. , tell me, can the Ye family swallow this breath?"
Mrs. Lin's voice was also very low: "Actually, just apologize in public. With so many people watching, the Ye family will not dare to cause trouble again in the future. What should we do now?"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said, "The Ye family may have too much to take care of themselves."
If the matter is so big, it is impossible for the higher-ups not to arrange for someone to investigate. If she can bear the investigation, can the Ye family bear it?
On the imperial chariot not far away, the emperor was playing with the emerald green finger on his thumb, which was engraved with a lifelike green dragon.
When the imperial driver was almost at the entrance of the palace, the emperor said: "Ming Eunuch, let Liu Yushi come to see me."
The censor is a very important official position. The superiors can find faults with the emperor, and the subordinates can supervise the civil and military officials. If the censor is invited to come, it means checking the Ye family.
Eunuch Ming nodded: "I accept your order."
It would be a bit exaggerated to ask Liu Yushi specifically to investigate the Ye family alone. I am afraid that the emperor also wants to investigate the Hussars General again.
Sui'an is really a talented person. With his own power, he made subtle changes in the situation in the court... If something really happened to the general, this subtle change might cause a thunder and tsunami.
The day after the Insect King Festival ended, Cheng Zhao came back with news.
"Ye Lingbo has been dismissed, and Mr. Ye must also cooperate with the investigation. I heard some seniors in the court talking about this matter, and almost everyone said that even if Ye Lingbo really committed what the second aunt said, seeing that Yun Bin and Wu For the sake of the prince's face, the emperor will not really attack the Luoye family." Cheng Zhao said slowly, "Sure enough, everything was within the expectations of the second aunt."
Cheng Wanwan sneered.
Just being fired is not enough, she wants this scumbag to go to jail.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Have you made arrangements for what I told you before? Do you have time to meet with the deputy director?"
Cheng Zhao said: "Second aunt, leave this matter to me."
This deputy chief was Ye Lingbo's follower. After Ye Lingbo's accident, the deputy chief took leave and never went to the Ministry of War.
There are too many things that the second aunt needs to think about. He can just solve such small things.
Later in the evening, Cheng Zhao took a bottle of wine and went directly to Xiao's house. Deputy Director Xiao also lived outside the capital, in a small courtyard with two entrances, which was relatively clean.
Xiao Yu is depressed in the yard. He has no talent. He has been the deputy chief of the seventh rank for these years. A year ago, Ye Lingbo suddenly came to the Ministry of War and became his boss. He tried his best to please and finally became Ye Lingbo's confidant. Ye Lingbo promised him , which will allow him to be promoted at least half a level, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. It sounds easy, but it is actually very difficult. All his hopes are on Ye Lingbo.
But now, Ye Lingbo has been dismissed, and he is finished.
Xiao Yu took a sip of wine depressedly. At this time, a servant came to report: "Sir, Mr. Cheng from the Hanlin Academy wishes to see you."
"Master Cheng?" Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, "It must be Cheng Zhao, the nephew of the Sui'an people. Hehe, he dared to come to the door. I don't dare to confront the Sui'an people, and I don't dare to teach him a mere seven-year-old lesson. A good judge?"
He threw the bottle down and rushed out.
Cheng Zhao was waiting outside the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Xiao Yu rushing over with his fists waving.
"Master Xiao, you'd better not act so impulsively." Cheng Zhao sidestepped and said softly, "I'm here today to tell Mr. Xiao some good news. If Mr. Xiao wants to hear it, let's have a glass of wine and talk slowly. If If you don’t want to hear it, then I’ll go find Deputy Director Zhou.”
There are two deputy chiefs around Ye Lingbo, one is Xiao Yu and the other is the deputy chief this week. They have the same official position and the same work content, so they are direct competitors.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, vaguely seeming to understand something.
He snorted: "You better really bring good news, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
