The screams of Wang Defa and other family heads made Ye Wuhua frightened.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and knew how to change sides and retract my confession in time. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will suffer the same physical pain as those wailing family heads.
But Ye Wuhua didn't sympathize with Wang Defa and the others at the moment. He had been winking at Wang Defa and the others just now. Who made them stupid? They couldn't understand his reminder and still tried their best to touch eggs against stones.
Although both Ye Wuhua and Ye Jianrong are still safe and sound, Ye Wuhua knows that "Li Feiyu" in front of him cannot let him go so easily.
Sure enough, "Li Feiyu" in front of the desk took out a letter from his official robe and threw it in front of Ye Wuhua.
This letter was clearly the letter in which officials from Yan Song's line contacted Ye Wuhua to ask him to deal with Zhou Yi.
When Ye Wuhua saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me! We originally wanted to deal with Magistrate Zhou Yi, but we didn't want to deal with you, Lord Li!"
Zhou Yi said coldly: "Isn't the person in front of you Mr. Zhou? You still said you weren't going to deal with me!"
Hearing this, Ye Wuhua was even more certain that "Li Feiyu" and "Zhou Yi" had secretly changed the governance of the county without telling their superiors.
"Master Li, please forgive me. I don't know that you and Magistrate Zhou have changed the county seat."
Zhou Yi also heard from Ye Wuhua's words that Ye Wuhua had not realized that "Li Feiyu" and "Zhou Yi" were the same person.
Sure enough, the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear.
Zhou Yi also decided to take advantage of this and beat Ye Wuhua again.
"Although Prime Minister Yan Song is extremely powerful, you also know that the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. The sky is high in Pingjiang City and the Emperor is far away. Even if you get on the line with the Prime Minister, what will happen? No matter how powerful he is, he can get by quickly. My sword?"
"Yes, yes, my lord's sword is faster!" Ye Wuhua responded quickly.
Ye Wuhua sighed in his heart and thought: "This Li Feiyu is really a bold person. Not only is he not afraid of his identity being exposed at this time, he is not afraid of His Majesty and the Prime Minister at all. He even dares to use this to threaten my Ye family. It is worthy of being licked by a knife." Bloody character!"
Zhou Yi continued to hammer and said: "Since I can send people to get this secret letter from your home without any trace, I can also send people to take the head from your neck without any trace. I don't think you, Mr. Ye, want to sleep in the house one day. You’ll never wake up from the bed, right?”
Ye Wuhua immediately kowtowed crazily on the ground: "Master Li, County Magistrate Li, Mr. Li, if I knew it was you, don't talk about the traitor Yan Song. I won't even listen to the emperor."
To be honest, Zhou Yi quite admired Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family. His character was tolerant, much like Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms.
In addition, Zhou Yi secretly killed Ye Guangming of the Ye family. Zhou Yi did not believe that the Ye family would not be suspicious of Liu Datong's poisoning of Ye Guangming.
Therefore, Zhou Yi stared at Ye Wuhua who was lying on the ground like a cobra.
It's just that there are still areas that can be used by Ye Wuhua and the Ye family. When the Ye family and Ye Wuhua are no longer useful, Zhou Yi will naturally find a way to get rid of them.
Otherwise, when they realize that Zhou Yi is the culprit who killed Ye Guangming and bankrupted their Ye family, they might counterattack Zhou Yi like a poisonous snake.
For this situation, Zhou Yi will never allow it to happen.
"Sir Li, our Ye family will definitely follow your lead in the future. If we have any different intentions, we will definitely die." Ye Wuhua swore.
Nowadays, people are serving as swordsmen and others as fish and meat. How can we not show some loyalty?
Because Ye Wuhua knows that if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. In Ye Wuhua's view, even if he is the only one left in the Ye family, it is not considered destroyed.
As long as he could obtain "Li Feiyu's" forgiveness and save it, let alone swearing, he would not hesitate to sacrifice all the Ye family members except Ye Wuhua.
"In that case, you should know how to call me from now on!"
Ye Wuhua hesitated a little, but still called out tentatively: "Master Zhou... Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, from now on you will call me Mr. Zhou!"
At this time, Deng Tong also walked in and replied: "Sir, the 50 lashes have been carried out!"
"Bring them all here!"
Not long after, more than a dozen family heads and clan members were dragged up, beaten to a bloody pulp.
Zhou Yi said hypocritically again: "Just now you said that the people from Lizi Banner robbed the food. I just thought about it and it is absolutely impossible to Li Feiyu Li County Magistrate."
"Originally, the county magistrate had more than 5,000 bandits and bandits under his command, but the court only gave 3,000 surrender quotas. Those who want to steal your food should be the other 2,000 bandits who have been disbanded. It seems that I am the official I wrongly blamed you!"
"That's right, it's strange, that's right, it's strange, but we didn't make it clear..."
"Yes, yes, we didn't make it clear..."
Wang Defa and his family have lost their temper after being manipulated by Zhou Yi. How dare they disobey Zhou Yi.
"Your beating is not in vain. Even if you win the case, you will still be whipped. As for the two waves of bandits, I will report it to the court and ask the court to go and suppress the bandits."
"Perhaps the imperial court will let Mr. Li personally lead his elite troops to suppress the bandits."
Zhou Yi's acting skills left Ye Wuhua and Ye Jianrong stunned, while Wang Defa and other family heads burst into tears of gratitude.
In order to allow Pingjiang County, which he himself commanded, to have visible military power, Zhou Yi asked Ye Wuhua to continue to contact officials from Yan Song's lineage and inform Yan Song's lineage of all the incidents of being robbed.
But Yan Song's party was really fooled. How could they miss such a good opportunity to criticize Zhou Yi, so they all wrote a letter to impeach Zhou Yi on the grounds that two thousand bandits remnants robbed the people.
Fortunately, there were a group of officials in the court who were against Yan Song, including Wen Boyue and Taishi Wen. In addition, the emperor had the eunuch Wei Zhongxian who helped Zhou Yi put in good words. This allowed Emperor Li Xuanji to bring more than 2,000 remnants of mountain bandits to cause trouble for the people. The responsibility is placed on Yan Song's head.
Emperor Li Xuanji beat his chest and said: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you are really stupid! That Zhou Tanhua already found out that there are more than 5,000 bandits last time, but you only recruited 3,000 people, leaving 2,000 The many people who have been dismissed will surely cause chaos everywhere without restraint! You really made a mistake this time!"
In fact, Yan Song, who had already seen through everything, did not talk back to the emperor, but just followed Li Xuanji and admitted his mistake.
And following Zhou Yi's ideas, Zhou Yi continued to recruit more than 2,000 people.
Zhou Yi never expected that the emperor would not give him a discount this time, and would give him a staff of more than 2,000 people.
However, this time there was an additional article in the emperor's imperial edict, requiring the people recruited by Zhou Yi to raise their own food and salary, and not to rob the people, otherwise Zhou Yi would be guilty of consecutive sittings.
