At present, looking at the original owner's charges, it is basically impossible to escape guilt. The 300 Japanese pirate heads handed over by pretending to be Luobi people, the 30 small yellow croakers hidden under his bed, and one thousand taels of silver are all. You can't fake it. If you want to survive for now, you have to find another way.
As the saying goes, "There is no perfect path." Although God has closed your door, he will open a window for you.
After carefully scrutinizing the memory of the original owner, Ye Mingsheng quickly discovered something suspicious in his memory.
According to the consistent domineering style of the Supervision Department in the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the Supervision Department discovered that officials were corrupt and broke the law, they should have taken them down directly and would never talk nonsense to you. It should not have been like the original owner who sent a hundred households to conduct secret interviews. .
What’s even more confusing is that this so-called “secret interview” is more of a naked intimidation than an interview!
The Supervision Bureau member named Jia Liang, after presenting the criminal evidence of the original owner, kept putting pressure on the original owner, telling the original owner how serious the two crimes of embezzling money and killing bandits and taking merit were, and how serious it was to be cut in half and exiled. How terrifying.
It was under the intimidation of this Inspector Baihu that the original owner panicked and chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
As for Ye Mingsheng now, he wants to figure out why the Supervision Department did this. They have the handle on him. To them, he is equivalent to a dying person, and threatening a dying person is People, what's in it for them?
The more he thought about this problem, the more suspicious Ye Mingsheng felt. He vaguely realized that by understanding this problem, he would grasp the "life-saving straw" that broke his current situation of death!
"With the consistent style of the Inspectorate, they will never do anything useless. There must be a reason for them to intimidate themselves, but what exactly is this reason?"
Ye Mingsheng recalled the memory of the original owner over and over again, examining every clue over and over again. His intuition told him that the answer was in his memory!
money?
The gang of cruel officials in the Supervision Department are not extremely rich, not to mention that when the time comes, my home will be confiscated and exiled, and the money at home will not be left to them, so why bother now?
color?
That's not right. Because of his high ambition, the original owner always wanted to climb a high tree, marry a noble daughter, change his life through marriage, and thus climb higher in the officialdom.
But the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Because of his humble background and mediocre ability, the original owner has never been favored by any noble family, so he has always been unable to achieve high or low levels.
In addition, he didn't have any spare money to buy himself a beautiful wife and concubine. Twenty-three was still alone, so naturally he couldn't talk about the women around him, and was coveted by the people in the Inspectorate.
It’s neither money nor sex, so could it be... What does the Supervision Department need me to do?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng, who was racking his brains and thinking hard, suddenly realized something. A flash of light suddenly bloomed in his tired eyes, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"Wang Kangxin's uncle Wang Zhongsen is from Qianhu of the Supervision Department. Why did he stop talking and not come to me again after I told him why he was rejected by me? I see, that's how it is. He's so vicious... ···”
After thinking about everything, Ye Mingsheng took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then struggled to get up from the bed.
"Master, don't move around. Miss Pei said you need to rest now!"
Ye Tie, who sent Pei Zhixiu away and returned to the room, quickly stepped forward to dissuade him:
'Help me up' Ye Mingsheng ignored Ye Tie's dissuasion and insisted:
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had made up his mind, Ye Tie, as the captain of the soldiers, could only obey the order and carefully helped Ye Mingsheng up from the bed.
With Ye Tie's help, Ye Mingsheng, who had just recovered from a serious illness and was weak, slowly walked to the desk in the room, spread out the letter paper, and began to write carefully.
Ye Mingsheng, who finished writing the letter after a while, blew the ink on the letter paper that was not yet dry, put it into an envelope, stamped it with ink pad and handed it to Ye Tie beside him, solemnly instructing:
"Ask Ye Kui to go to Xin'an County and hand this letter to Wang Kangxin. Tell Ye Kui that he must hand the letter to Wang Kangxin himself!"
Although he didn't know what his young master was doing, after hearing Ye Mingsheng's serious tone, Ye Tie naturally understood that the matter was of great importance, so he did not dare to neglect it. He nodded heavily and went down to make arrangements.
As Ye Tie left, Ye Mingsheng was once again alone in the room. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression slightly more relaxed than before.
If his predictions are correct, as long as he agrees to assist Wang Kangxin in carrying out that crazy plan that can be called life-betting, then the Supervision Department should not cause trouble for him anymore...
This means that the danger of decapitation is temporarily lifted, and he can have the energy to do the second thing.
Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent, and he clenched his fists tightly.
As the commander of the seventh-level imperial army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the original owner was somewhat stern and internal, he was very fond of success and was headstrong.
But there is no doubt that this person is not a fool. Of course, it is impossible for a fool to become a seventh-grade mid-level military attaché of the Forbidden Army without any background.
When the original owner embezzled the property in the Battle of Wanfeng Mansion, and used the head of a Japanese pirate to pretend to be a Luobi man to kill the Japanese pirates in the Battle of Xiaoli Town, he naturally knew to keep it secret. He did these two things very well. The secret is only known to him and the soldiers around him.
And now that the Inspectorate knows about these two things, there is no doubt that it was the people around him who leaked the news.
In his early years, Ye Mingsheng heard that in order to prevent his subordinates from rebelling, Shangguan Hongyuan, the chief assistant, ordered the Supervision Department to place spies around the Forbidden Army attachés to monitor the movements.
Although this rumor has never been confirmed, it is an indisputable fact that those who conspired to rebel over the years have been unable to escape the law.
Now combined with his own experience, Ye Mingsheng naturally knew in his heart that the rumors were true. Most of the soldiers around him were secret agents of the Supervision Department. It was because of his betrayal that he fell into this situation. .
When he thought that there was such a big bomb hidden beside him, which had already exploded once and might explode again, Ye Mingsheng's heart suddenly tightened, and a chill hit him from the back, making him tremble all of a sudden. Got a shiver.
Although the evidence of the original owner's corruption and taking credit is conclusive and has been confirmed, he is already in the cold after all and has paid the price for his mistakes.
Now Ye Mingsheng is himself, a small character who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is determined not to leave such a bomb that may explode at any time by his side and let this person betray him.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's narrowed eyes revealed not only a fleeting killing intent...
