Chapter 99 Subduing Hong Yan, the key evidence
"Grandma?" Hong Yan stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the old lady, only then did she realize that the old lady couldn't see anything.

Shocked and angry, Hongyan looked at Ye Muxi and asked, "What do you mean? How did my grandma become like this?"

"My mother-in-law is a slave in the back kitchen of a certain rich family, and she has been smoked all year round, blinding her." Ye Muxi said flatly, "The old man wants to see you, so I will pick her up to reunite with you."

The old lady took Hongyan's hand and blamed, "Girl, why are you talking to Engong in such a tone. Engong said that you have been looking for me, and she and you are friends, so she specially helped you find me, so that our ancestors Sun Tuanju. If it weren't for benefactor, I don't know if I could see you when I was alive."

"Hongyan, I won't disturb your grandparents' reunion. I'll go out first, you can accompany the old man." Ye Muxi said, and walked out.

Wanqiu and Minghua followed her to the next door, and Yage left it to Hongyan's grandparents.

"This Hongyan girl really doesn't know good from bad. The young lady is able to avenge her entire family against the Cheng family, but she doesn't cooperate at all, and even gives the young lady a face. I really don't know what she thinks." Ming Hua said displeased. .

"Hongyan is different from other women." Ye Muxi pursed her lips and smiled.

She is a person who has experienced the massacre of family extermination, and she understands better than Hongyan what it means to hate like iron, and hate is as high as the sky.And she has been lurking in the Cheng family for so many years, but she did not go to Beijing to sue. It can only show that she doesn't trust the government, and she doesn't believe that anyone can uphold justice for her family. She wants to avenge her family in her own way.

It is nothing more than poisoning, assassination, and death together.

She has not acted yet because the mastermind, Cheng Qiming, has been an official in the capital, and she has no chance to attack Cheng Qiming.

She had a death wish in her heart, but in fact, from the moment she chose to become Cheng Yuanjie's concubine, she had no intention of living any longer.For her, becoming the concubine of the enemy's son has already lived in the world without face.

No matter how extravagant Ye Muxi's words are, it is impossible to win her trust. A person like her who has gone through an experience and only wants to die with the Cheng family will not be easily shaken in her determination.Ye Muxi came to her only relative in this world, not to threaten her, but to let her know that she still has concerns.

Only when she decides to live, will she use the revenge method of living instead of dying with the evidence in her hand.

"When she comes out, we can get what we want." Ye Muxi opened the window casually, looked at the scenery in the distance, shook her head and smiled, "It's just that I owe another debt to my son. "

How could Ye Muxi find Hongyan's grandmother, such a supernatural person is of course Nangong Lin.Ye Muxi was not in a hurry to have a showdown with Hongyan last time, she just wanted to find her relatives, and now she was looking for her with absolute certainty.

And according to Ye Muxi's business rules, if Nangong Lin is asked to help with one thing, he himself has to do one thing for Nangong Lin.

She never owed anyone a favor.

When Ye Muxi said that, Wan Qiu and Ming Hua covered their mouths and laughed.All the other ladies tried every means to get in touch with the elder son, but our young lady was the only one who avoided it, but it was fate, and everything got mixed up with the elder son.

A quarter of an hour later, Hongyan came back with slightly red eyes, it seemed that her relatives had cried when they met just now.

"Miss Ye, thank you for not telling my grandma who I am now, thank you..." Hong Yan looked at Ye Muxi, her eyes finally became sincere at this moment, and said, "If grandma knows that I have become Cheng Qiming My son's concubine will definitely be pissed off by me."

Ye Muxi said softly, "You are bearing the burden of humiliation for revenge. Even if the mother-in-law knows about it, she will only feel sorry for you and feel sorry for your experience. Of course, I think the old man should not know about this kind of thing, so as not to be sad. In fact, compared to this, if What is wrong with you is the most painful thing for your loved ones."

After a pause, Ye Muxi continued, "The Cheng family doesn't have the slightest doubt about you. It's just right for mother-in-law to leave it to you. Now that your grandparents and grandchildren are reunited, I don't have to worry about mother-in-law's affairs. The old man is blind and old now. I just want to reunite with your family, for the sake of my family, Miss Hongyan should also think more about herself. Before the end of the road, why push yourself to a dead end. "

Ye Muxi didn't intend to control Granny Yang to threaten Hongyan, so when they met now, she frankly said that her mother-in-law would be in her care, and she would not interfere any more.

Threats are the lowest means, and treating talents with sincerity is the right way.

Hongyan is a smart person, she understood what Ye Muxi meant, she was moved in her heart, and said with emotion, "If I could have met Ms. Ye two years earlier, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you Ms. Ye for letting go of the past and helping me and Grandma was reunited and helped me conceal my identity. It’s not that I didn’t want to file an imperial complaint. Back then, imperial envoys from the capital came to Jiangnan for inspections. I devoted myself to rehabilitating my father and his family. Your Excellency the imperial envoy, you just wanted to coax me into handing over the evidence, and then kill me, so that you can use this 'credit' to make friends with Cheng Qiming and please the crown prince. Fortunately, I escaped, and I will never trust the people in the court again."

"Cheng Qiming is the father of the crown prince's side concubine, he belongs to the crown prince, and the crown prince is the future emperor. Which courtier would offend the future emperor because of an old case." Hongyan said sadly, her face turned and became Ruthlessly, "So I had no choice but to enter Cheng's mansion. I just wanted to wait for Cheng Qiming to return and poison their whole family, so as to relieve my hatred. It's a pity that Cheng Qiming is an official in the capital and has not returned to Jiangzhou for two years. Cheng Yuanjie I was also afraid that his father would be like a mouse seeing a cat, so I never had the chance to see Cheng Qiming. Miss Ye wanted to deal with the Cheng family, so I would do my best to help, but I also wanted to teach the fourth girl to be careful of people in the court. Don't be deceived like me. The current Jiangnan chief envoy is a family friend with the Cheng family, if the fourth girl wants him to uphold justice, I'm afraid that officials will protect each other."

Ye Muxi gave her a comforting smile, "Don't worry, I won't follow the path of Jiangnan's political envoy."

Hongyan is also a very affectionate person.She refused to admit her identity before, but after Ye Muxi sincerely helped her reunite with her grandma, she also began to think about her from Ye Muxi's standpoint.

"That's right, I'm the one who got the ax out of my class. The fourth girl was born in a family of officials and officials, so she naturally knows more about official affairs than people like me. With the strategy of the fourth girl, it's the first time I feel that our Yang family's grievances have been redressed, and there is hope for revenge. "Hong Yan made a bow, "Although the fourth girl is to help the Yang family to avenge justice in order to deal with the Cheng family, but as a descendant of the Yang family, Hong Yan hereby thanks the fourth girl."

Ye Muxi helped her up with her own hands, and said with a smile, "It's too early to thank me at this time, when the Cheng family collapses, let's come here for a drink to celebrate."

After Hong Yan was dealt with, Ye Muxi also got the evidence.At that time, Hongyan's father, Yang Zhong, a member of the household department, wanted to expose Cheng Qiming's crimes. He was worried that something would happen to him, so he secretly sent something back just in case.

a roster.

This list is the list of villagers of the two villages that were to be demolished that year.The imperial court has always been magnanimous in building palaces, and the current sage is considered wise and does not compete with the common people for profit.If you choose a location to build a palace, you will need to pay a large resettlement fee. The exact amount of the resettlement fee depends on the list of people reported.

Cheng Qiming was originally a local, and he used his own slaves to falsely report the number of villagers. The list of household registrations received by the court was ten times that of this list.

That is to say, there are actually not as many households as he reported, and [-]% of the extra resettlement fees belong to him.But even so, he was still not satisfied, and embezzled [-]% of the remaining one-tenth of the resettlement fee, leaving only [-]% to the local people, so that the people were dissatisfied and fierce conflicts broke out.

This aroused Yang Zhong's suspicion.After all, according to the money issued by the imperial court, the common people will not quarrel with the government.Since ancient times, common people have always been easy to bully, not because they were forced to live, but because they never dared to fight with the government.

After such a search, Cheng Qiming discovered that there was something wrong with the list.Ninety percent of the household registrations reported were faked by Cheng Qiming's domestic slaves, and only one percent were real civilians, and this ten percent of the resettlement fee was embezzled by him. It is really greedy and has no bottom line.

Yang Zhong didn't know that in Jiangzhou, Cheng Qiming was a local snake, and his investigations were all carried out under Cheng Qiming's nose.Seeing that the incident was exposed, Cheng Qiming had no choice but to find a way to deal with the aftermath.

It was at this time that Yang Zhong was preparing to impeach Cheng Qiming, so he copied this key piece of evidence and sent it home, just in case.

Cheng Qiming's household registration list submitted to the imperial court could not withstand verification. He was worried that Yang Zhong would go to the imperial court, so he took the first step and let the nearby Qinglongzhai under his control occupy and massacre the village.

The people were all killed by the bandits. It is impossible to say how many people there were in the village. After all, many people were destroyed and their traces could not be verified.

In this way, even if Yang Zhong wants to impeach Cheng Qiming, there will be no proof.

Ye Muxi looked at the roster in his hand. This piece of evidence could prove that Cheng Qiming commanded his servants to pretend to be ordinary people, defrauding the king and ignoring him, and he was punished with death.

As for the follow-up of this case, Hongyan is not clear, she only knows that this list must have killed her father.

But Ye Muxi had read the case files and knew that Yang Zhong was a high official in the court after all, and Cheng Qiming didn't want to kill him at this time, so as not to cause too much trouble.But when the roster issue was resolved, Yang Zhong discovered that Cheng Qiming had a close relationship with the bandit leader of Qinglongzhai, and suspected that Cheng Qiming had something to do with the murder of the people.

At this point, Cheng Qiming had no scruples, and directly accused Yang Zhong of colluding with bandits, planted a man and got all the stolen goods, and then destroyed Qinglongzhai without proof.

Even if the court came to investigate, the villagers died, the bandits died, what else can we do?
On the contrary, the resettlement fee had already been distributed to the villagers in Cheng Qiming's memorial, and after the bandits were suppressed, they disappeared.Coupled with the military expenses for suppressing bandits, he made a lot of money.

The innocent people are pitiful, and the unlucky household member Wai Lang Yang Zhong is also pitiful.
