Mrs. Xiaobin was quickly summoned. When she entered the door, she saw Ye Xiaoliang kneeling on the ground. She was stunned. Her not-so-smart mind soon realized that something had happened to her son. She threw herself on the ground and shouted: "City Lord "The Fifth Young Master is your biological son, you can't be so cruel to him!" Ye Fan sneered and threw the interrogation record in front of Mrs. Xiaobin, "You are literate, look at what is written on it. " Mrs. Xiaobin picked it up and read it quickly. Her face was pale and her whole body was shaking. She kowtowed on the ground and said: "City Lord, I don't know that they privately said they wanted weapons. If I knew, I would not accept them. She would not even tell Fifth Young Master that she wanted to marry Mrs. Jiang. I was deceived by them, and I am willing to return the money to them. "Ye Xiaoliang glanced at Mrs. Xiaobin. People often say that she has no foresight. There must be near-term worries, but when there are long-term worries, they are all near-term worries. He regrets that he has not done so before, his expression is slightly gloomy, and he kowtows: "Father, my son has done something wrong, and he will let his father handle it without any complaints." "No, City Lord, this is Everything is my fault and has nothing to do with the fifth young master. If you want to punish me, don¡¯t punish the fifth young master. The fifth young master didn¡¯t know about it beforehand. , with tears streaming down his face, and kept begging. Ye Fan looked at Mrs. Xiao Bin with disgust, who was crying with snot and tears, and asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Bin, who sent the message back and forth between you and the Bin family?" "It was Si Bao from the Shangfu Department. Yan Liu." Mrs. Xiao Bin said. "Li Jicai, take someone to escort Yan Liu over." Ye Fan said coldly. Li Jicai took the order and left. Ye Fan looked at the mother and son kneeling in front of him with sharp eyes and said coldly: "Smuggling weapons will be punished." Ye Xiaoliang closed his eyes in despair, his face turned ashen. He had expected this result, but I'm just taking a chance and hoping things won't come to light. Mrs. Xiaobin screamed and knelt forward a few steps. Her skirt was too big and her center of gravity was unstable. She fell in front of Ye Fan, lying on the ground with her face full of tears, "City Lord, no, this has nothing to do with Wu." It has nothing to do with the young master. It is my fault. I am willing to die for him I am willing to die for the fifth young master. City Lord, please spare the fifth young master! Young Master! The Fifth Young Master doesn¡¯t know anything. He only listened to the concubine and it¡¯s all the concubine¡¯s fault. No, it¡¯s not the Bin family, it¡¯s the Jiang family. The Jiang family wanted to harm the Bin family and the Fifth Young Master, so they sent Jiang as the broomstick. It was the Jiang family who was bad, not the Fifth Young Master. The Fifth Young Master was not at fault. It was the Jiang family that was wrong. He is from the Jiang family the city lord the city lord the fifth son, he is your son, please spare him!" Ye Shuhua couldn't bear it when he heard Mrs. Xiaobin's pleading, so he got up and walked to Ye Xiaoliang. Beside him, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Father, although fifth brother was at fault, there was a reason for the incident and extenuating circumstances. Now that the weapons have been recovered, I beg my father to be given a lighter sentence." Ye Fan thought of Jiang Minghong's words and deeds, which were indeed unlike those above. The girls sent from various countries are so qualified. Considering the known situation, she should not have been selected through the normal process. Did Emperor Wei know about the transaction between the Jiang family and the Bin family? What does the Jiang family want for these weapons? While Ye Fan was thinking about the problem, Mrs. Xiaobin was still pleading back and forth. At this time, Li Jicai came back, but he failed to bring Yan Liu back alive. When he arrived, Yan Liu had hanged himself from the beam and took out a small box of silver notes in her room. A flash of anger flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. No matter how strict the city regulations were, they could not control the greed in people's hearts. Fortunately, Yan Liu's life and death did not affect the matter. He said: "Xiaoliang, you are using Jiang's 'violating morality, speaking in words,' On the grounds of being too talkative and jealous, I wrote a letter of divorce to her and escorted her back to Weiguo tomorrow together with the Wei people. I will ask Emperor Wei to explain this marriage to the Binjiang family. It's none of your business. You're not allowed to ask any more questions." "My son knows." Ye Xiaoliang regained some color on his face after knowing that he had escaped the death penalty. "You listened to the woman's words and acted foolishly. You were punished with a fifty heavy staff, a fine of three years' salary, and a year of shut up to think about your mistakes. Your loyal guards and close guards did not play the role of dissuading them. They were all given a thirty heavy staff, a fine of one year's salary, and a year of shut up to think about your mistakes. Half a year." In the end, Ye Fan was reluctant to take Ye Xiaoliang's life and gave him a punishment that seemed not light but was actually not serious. "It is true that many people will die if they cannot survive the twenty-fold rod, but the executioners will never be so cold-blooded and beat Ye Xiaoliang to death ruthlessly. "My son will receive the punishment." Ye Xiaoliang kowtowed. Ye Fan looked at Mrs. Xiao Bin and said, "Bin's family is imprisoned in Lixiang and will never come out." "Father, concubine" Ye Fan snorted coldly, and Ye Xiaoliang lowered his head, unable to say anything to plead for his biological mother. Mrs. Xiaobin collapsed to the ground weakly. Ye Fan is right about things?It has been dealt with and everything must be done according to his wishes. Ye Xiaoliang took the stamped divorce letter and threw it in front of Jiang Minghong, and said coldly: "You and I are no longer married to each other. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other." Jiang Minghong was dumbfounded. She has been away from home for the past two days. Ye Xiaoliang I didn't enter her room, but when I came back today, I gave her a divorce note. What's going on? "You want to divorce me?" "Yes." "Why do you want to divorce me?" Jiang Minghong believed that she had not violated the seven-out rule. "Go back and ask your parents. If they don't know the reason, ask the clan leader of the Jiang family." After Ye Xiaoliang finished speaking, he left. There was still a fifty-weight staff waiting for him. "No!" Jiang Minghong rushed over and hugged his waist, "We have been husband and wife for nearly a hundred days. How can you be so cruel that you divorce your wife just because you say it?" Ye Xiaoliang looked down at her. , said with hatred: "There is no kindness but hatred between you and me." Jiang Minghong shivered when she saw his ferocious expression, but did not let go. Instead, she hugged him tighter and said, "I was divorced and returned to my parents' home." Woman, life is worse than death. If you insist on divorcing me and returning to my parents' home, I would rather die here." Ye Xiaoliang opened her hand and threw her to the ground. "If you want to die, wait until you return. If you go to the Jiang family in Weiguo, you will die." "Husband!" Jiang Minghong cried. Ye Xiaoliang walked out of the door without looking back, and said to Cui Xing who was standing outside the door: "Mother Cui, please watch her carefully and don't let her seek death." Cui Xing said expressionlessly: "Fifth Young Master, don't worry, slave. I will take good care of Jiang." Ye Xiaoliang went straight out to get the fifty-weight staff. Although the executioner was merciful, after fifty strokes, Ye Xiaoliang's buttocks were still bloody and bloody, and he fainted from the pain. He was carried back to the small east courtyard of Mu Zhiyuan on a spring stool. Jiang Minghong was divorced. Dong Jiawan was pregnant and could only be taken care of by Su Nianjin. After the good doctor made a diagnosis, he reported back to Ye Fan, "City Lord, I have checked the fifth son's injury. The fifth son has a skin injury, not a muscle or bone injury. He only needs to stay in bed for a month to recuperate." Ye Fan said nothing. Just raised his hand. The good doctor bowed and left. When something happened to Ye Xiaoliang, the happiest person was the person who secretly planned it all. Under the night, in the side room in the city, three black figures guarded a dim oil lamp and talked excitedly in low voices. "Uncle's clever plan is really brilliant." A sharp voice praised. The old voice hummed: "My plan is not a clever one. It is because the Jiang family and the Bin family are too greedy for power that they will obey my wishes and send the Jiang family to run for election. It is because the Bin family is too greedy for money that they will accept it." For a small profit, he sold his son's life-long career. It was Ye Xiaoliang who was too foolish and filial, and he followed Bin's advice and married Jiang, which is why we are in such a good situation today. She is really as stupid as a pig. Not long after she got married, she became very noisy. I heard that my father got very angry because of this and called Lao Wu a useless thing who couldn't even control a woman." The sharp voice gloated. smiled. The old voice sneered: "If she hadn't been as stupid as a pig, I wouldn't have chosen her in the first place. A small family, an ignorant girl, a crow that can't turn into a phoenix even if it flies on a branch." "I was originally worried. Jiang's incident was not enough to shake Ye Xiaoliang's position in the heart of the city lord. He was still thinking of ways to add fuel to the fire. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoliang was as brainless as his biological mother. He actually had to smuggle weapons to defend the country. There was no need for us to continue. Take action and he will be finished." The hoarse voice smiled triumphantly. The sharp voice said: "I thought he would be a strong opponent of mine, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid. Now he has completely lost his father's favor, and there is nothing to be afraid of anymore." "Okay, Ye Xiaoliang has been dealt with. Now, what we need to consider now is the first day of September. There are still a few days left, so don¡¯t get carried away. At this time, you must act more cautiously, and don¡¯t be careless, otherwise your success will be ruined.¡± The old voice warned the two. . "Dad, don't worry, everything has been arranged. There will be no problems. I guarantee it will be foolproof." The hoarse voice said with confidence. "The eldest brother has been abolished. The fourth brother is lustful and greedy. He has long been displeased by his father. As long as Ye Shuhua dies, the position of city lord will be mine." Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he spoke sharply. Turned up a few degrees, it seemed particularly harsh in this silent night. "When you become the lord of Dengying City, your mother will be able to feel proud and proud, and she will not have to succumb to Mu Xiluo." There was a hint of melancholy in the old voice. The three of them stayed in the room for a while longer before extinguishing the oil lamp and leaving. The night is silent and the moon is sinking in the west.The people in the city who had been busy for a day had already fallen asleep. Ye Shuhua finished handling the city affairs and returned to his room. Song Ruoxi had fallen asleep. He went to bed quietly, kissed her smooth forehead, and looked at her from behind. He hugged her, smelled the faint fragrance in her hair, and fell asleep. When having breakfast the next morning, Song Ruoxi asked directly: "What did fifth brother do wrong and get slapped yesterday?" "It's the same thing I told you last time." Ye Shuhua sighed, " The fifth brother made a big mistake because of the Jiang family. His father ordered him to be punished with a fifty-fifty stick and a three-year salary penalty. "Song Ruoxi frowned, "What about Jiang Minghong?" "What about the fifth brother? I wrote a letter of divorce to divorce Ms. Jiang. Ms. Jiang will be sent back to Weiguo today. "Song Ruoxi never thought that Jiang Minghong would end up in such a tragic ending, and sighed quietly.
