Governor Song had known for a long time that Ye Song was coming, and now that someone came to send a message, he went over immediately without delay.
"The official has met Mr. Ye."
Governor Song smiled and stepped forward to salute Ye Song.
Ye Song, who was sitting in the upper seat, had no expression on his face. He took a sip of the rough tea in the tea cup, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After all, Ye Jintang is also a girl from Danyang Houfu. The only thing in her house is this kind of coarse tea. It can be seen that Governor Song has been ruthless and looted all the property of Governor Ye.
"Governor Song, I called you here because I wanted to ask you where the property in Magistrate Ye's yard went."
Governor Song was confused by the question, and subconsciously said, "Don't tell Miss Ye to move out."
"Nonsense, my sixth sister is just a little girl who lives in the inner house all the time. She hasn't even got haircut yet, so how can she move on her own?"
Ye Song put the teacup heavily on the table and slapped the table. Governor Song frowned.
"Master Ye, a few days ago, Xiaguan told Miss Ye that he wanted her to move out of the government office. He helped find a yard for Miss Ye to stay temporarily, but Miss Ye didn't agree and said she wanted to move by herself."
"Later, Miss Ye returned the key to the government office after moving. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Ye."
"I knew you wouldn't admit it. Governor Song, think about it for yourself. My sixth sister doesn't even know her husband, and she only has a maid by her side. How is she going to move?"
"Don't lie here with your eyes open. If you don't explain this matter clearly to me, our Danyang Marquis Mansion is not easy to bully."
At this moment, Governor Song couldn't explain why. He also wanted to know how Ye Jintang moved in the first place.
Ye Song believed that Governor Song had stolen it, but Governor Song refused to admit it even if he beat him to death.
The two were in a stalemate, and Governor Song asked Ye Song to send someone to find out if anyone had seen him moving things out of the government office.
Songye felt a little hesitant when he saw that Governor Song refused to admit it no matter how intimidated he was. Logically speaking, Governor Song, a ninth-grade official, should not dare to steal things from the Ye family so blatantly.
"Governor Song, you'd better not let me find out. It was you who took the things, otherwise you will have to weigh your own life. Is it enough?"
"I have been following Magistrate Ye for many years. I would never do something so unconscionable. Please be careful."
Ye Jintang, who was hiding in the back room, cursed in his heart. Governor Song was really shameless. He just didn't have the chance. He spoke of himself so noblely and was not afraid of flashing his tongue.
Ye Song asked Governor Song about some government affairs and sent him away for the time being.
He didn't believe that Magistrate Ye didn't leave any property behind. On the day he moved in, he sent his servant Jincheng to take his seal and go to several officials in Yuezhou City to ask Magistrate Ye where the property in his name had gone.
If he were an ordinary person, he would naturally not be able to ask anything from Guan Ya, but Ye Song has a fifth-grade title, and Ya Ren sees his seal like a mouse sees a cat. Any Ya Ren asked by Jincheng will answer all questions one by one.
"My lord, all of Magistrate Ye's family property is here. At that time, a young master used Magistrate Ye's seal to sell it."
Yaren showed the receipt to Jincheng.
"Make a copy of all of this and give it to me. My adults want to read it."
"If you're young, just copy it."
While Yaren was copying, Jincheng asked Magistrate Ye about his usual situation in Yuezhou.
What he asked openly and secretly was who sold off his family's property after Magistrate Ye died.
"I don't know the young master who came to sell the shop, but I heard some rumors. Some people said that just after Magistrate Ye died, Governor Song took him outside the city and burned him, and even the ashes were kept in Yizhuang. "
"The epidemic in the city is no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning. Governor Song burned Magistrate Ye in such a hurry, obviously he was thinking about Magistrate Ye's family property."
"After all, Governor Ye only has an orphan girl left in his family. The gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the family are not just for Governor Song to take."
Jincheng frowned and asked in disbelief, "Where did you hear these rumors?"
"Many people say this on the streets. If you don't believe me, you can just find a teahouse. There must be people who are still talking about it."
As Yaren lowered his voice, he continued, "I also heard that Governor Song embezzled a lot of disaster relief money. It is estimated that the death of more than a dozen members of Magistrate Ye's family had something to do with the disaster relief money. He wanted to kill people and silence them. "
Now Jincheng is not calm anymore.
He followed Ye Song as a servant, so he naturally had more knowledge than others.
Putting Magistrate Ye's property and disaster relief money together, there is simply no comparison.
If Ye Song could find out this matter, he would accomplish a great feat.
Maybe he will be rewarded and promoted by the emperor for this matter when he returns to the capital.
Jincheng was filled with excitement, but he was not overwhelmed with joy yet.
After coming out of Yaxing, he was not in a hurry to go back to Feicui Alley, but just found a teahouse to find out what was going on.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, there were whispers at the next table, talking about Governor Song's embezzlement of disaster relief funds.
"Governor Song is really heartless. That is disaster relief money, life-saving money for ordinary people. How dare he embezzle it."
"That is to say, I heard that in Liujiazhuang, where the epidemic was most severe, more than half of the people in a village died. Later, each person was given 200 yuan of disaster relief money."
"200 Wen, what's the use? You can't last long even if you eat steamed buns every day. But this summer's harvest has been delayed due to the epidemic. How can I survive this winter with just 200 Wen?"
"Oh, oh, please keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. Many people have been arrested recently because of this rumor."
"Those minions in the yamen should also go to hell together."
The table next door talked for a while and then dispersed. Jincheng didn't leave in a hurry and sat in the teahouse for more than an hour. Four tables in front and behind were whispering about this.
It seems that Governor Song's embezzlement of money for disaster relief is almost the same.
Jincheng didn't dare to delay and ran back to Feicui Alley anxiously to tell Ye Song about the matter.
"Governor Song is so courageous that even disaster relief workers dare to touch him."
Ye Song burst out laughing as he said this, "God is really helping me. I originally thought I would come back empty-handed, a trip in vain, but I didn't expect there would be such an opportunity."
"It seems that this world-famous wealth has finally come to me. As long as I can handle this matter well, it will be a trivial matter to get promoted and become rich in the future. If I am appreciated by the emperor, our Danyang Marquis Mansion will also be able to benefit from it in the future."
The more Ye Song thought about it, the more proud he became, as if he had caught this wealth.
"We didn't bring too many people when we came. We might not be able to catch Governor Song. After all, Yuezhou is Governor Song's territory, and he has a lot of government officials."
"Ride your horse to Canglanzhou now, find Magistrate Qu, and send 30 government servants from him."
"It's a small one, go here."
Jincheng responded readily, turned around, trotted all the way, and rode out of the city on a fast horse.
