Mingmen Family

Chapter 153 Ledger
Qi Ji nodded, agreeing with Lu Guanyi's point of view.

But he was a little curious: "You said Miss Ye, why did she have such a trick?"

Among the aristocratic families in the capital, it is not that there are no such young people who are able to do it at such a young age, but they are all obtained from fighting openly and secretly in the house since childhood.

For example, Lu Guanyi, he is only 17 years old this year, only two years older than that Ye San girl.Even the prince admired his mental means.

Although the crown prince is related to Lu Guanyi, there are so many families in the capital, which family has no relationship with the royal family?

The reason why Lu Guanyi can catch the eyes of the prince is that he is clever. Since he was six years old, he has impressed the prince deeply in the only few contacts with him, so he protects him and treats him as a Cultivate with the help of your own future.

If it weren't for the support of the crown prince, after the death of Lu Guanyi's grandfather, he would have been killed by his cruel stepmother, how could he have survived to this day?

On the other hand, Ye Yaming, the Ye family's family style was carefully investigated before they cooperated, and it was really a clean and harmonious family.It's normal for such a family to raise a girl like Ye Yaqing; it's a bit strange for a girl like Ye Yaming.

Lu Guanyi said: "Some people are talented and intelligent, and they cannot be inferred from ordinary people."

Qi Ji nodded.

"The two things that Miss Ye said..." he asked.

"Let's watch first." Lu Guanyi said, "Since she didn't ask us to help, let's not investigate. This is the basic respect for the Ye family."

"Okay." Qi Ji said, "But since Miss Ye said she wants me to play the side drums at my father's place, then I'll go back later and speak ill of the Yang family to my father."

……

Ye Chongming sent Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji away, Ye Chongming asked Ye Yaming: "What should we do now?"

"Let uncle do it." Ye Yaming said, "Go home later and tell your family that you will take me up the mountain to the tea garden on the [-]th."

Ye Chongming and Ye Hongchang are not that incompetent. As their competitors, the Yang family is unscrupulous. The Ye family is also guarding against them. The Ye family has buried their chess pieces in the Yang family for the past two years.

Now that they want to attack the Yang family, these chess pieces can be used as witnesses to testify that Yang Chuzhi is Yang Hong's son.

As for the members of the Meng family, Ye Yaming wanted to make a quick decision, but the ancients valued festivals and went up the mountain before the Lantern Festival. The credibility of this news was too low, so it could only be delayed until the [-]th.

And these two days just happened to cause the Yang family's incident to break out.

"Okay, I'll tell your uncle to start." Ye Chongming said.

So in the afternoon of the same day, Ma Dafu went to the Yamen to beat drums and complained, suing the Yang family for plotting the lives of his daughter and son;

The public was in an uproar.

"Why did Ma Dafu come to complain? Didn't he become a monk?"

"Who said he became a monk? Didn't you see that he has hair? He is still wearing the clothes of the servants of the Yang family. Did he hide in the Yang family? His head is full of white hair. He is only in his early forties this year, right?"

"Oh, is this the point? The point is that the Yang family let their son pretend to be the son of a servant."

"Yeah, that's right, Yang Hong is amazing, he actually came up with such a trick. If Ma Dafu didn't exist, wouldn't their Yang family be well-off when his son was admitted to Jinshi and became an official?"

"My good fellow, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Hey, don't be arguing. I can't even hear what the adults are saying inside."

So the people outside the yamen were quiet for a while, and after a while they heard the uproar inside, and the people outside asked quickly: "What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened inside?"

"Ma Dafu took out a ledger, which recorded the amount of Yang Hong's bribes to all the adults."

"Hey, no wonder the Yang family has done so many immoral things, even if someone sues him, it turns out that the officials have been bribed by him."

A young man looked around and whispered, "I don't know if Mr. Qi's name is on the ledger. If there is...hehehe."

An old man next to him slapped him on the head and said angrily, "You don't want to die. Go, go, come with me, go home and see if your father hits you with a big stick."

"Hey, old man Qin, don't drag me, can't I stop talking?"

……

In the yamen, Qi Zhipei's heart beat like a drum when he got the ledger.

Although he was regarded as an upright official, it was a customary thing in the officialdom to accept offerings from wealthy businessmen.If he doesn't accept it, the officials below him and the petty officials in the yamen will not dare to accept it, which will cut off the people's wealth.

Cutting one's fortune is like killing one's parents. He would be unable to move a single step in the Lin'an city yamen, unable to do anything, and could only leave in despair in the end.

So he will also take some.And no one will take it in their own name.His share was accepted by Master Wu.

He steadied his mind, opened the account book, and found that the first one in it was the name of the former magistrate, and the amount of offerings received was quite large.

The second is the incumbent general judge.

The general judge had held this position when the previous prefect was in office.Later, he stayed in office and did not transfer away.

Seeing this, Qi Zhipei felt even worse.

But he quickly flipped through the ledger and found that his name was not on it, so he was relieved.

He slapped the gavel: "Someone, go and bring the defendant Yang Hong."

……

Ma Dafu, the sufferer, came forward to this matter, so the Ye family would naturally not go to watch.But the movement in the yamen was transmitted to the third floor of Jixiang Hall by the servants in time.

Ye Chongming, Ye Hongchang and his son were all present.

Ye Yaming said that regardless of this matter, he really ignored it and stayed at home.

Hearing that Ma Dafu presented a ledger at this moment, Ye Chongming was startled and asked, "Did Ma Dafu get this ledger?"

Ye Hongchang shook his head, leaned closer to his father, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how Ming'er got it. But don't worry, she has asked someone to tear off the page of Lord Qi."

The father and son looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.

They all thought that it was enough for Ye Yaming to ask Ma Dafu to sue Yang Hong for the crime of deceiving the emperor, but they didn't expect that it was even more cruel here.

Yang Hong's account book not only killed himself, but also pulled down a group of officials.If these officials accept bribes, if the amount is not large, they will be relegated at most, and they will not lose their officials, let alone their lives.

And they have this stain, and their future is ruined.How could they let go of the Yang family who harmed them?
Whether Yang An is Yang Hong's son is anyone's guess. Even if there are witnesses, Yang Hong can bite back and say that he was bought.If there are people in the officialdom to cover up, the Yang family is likely to lose their money in this lawsuit and it will be over.

But with this ledger, no one in the Yang family can run away from top to bottom.
