Poor Family

Madam Cao calmed herself down, then looked at Ye Mo: "What do you want me to do?"

Ye Mo: "I want to rehabilitate the Marquis of Changle."

Mrs. Cao was silent for a while: "I helped you, how will you repay me?"

Ye Mo looked at her: "It wasn't you who helped me, without you, I could still bring down the Pingguo mansion, but the process would be more complicated." After a pause, "Let Luo Yuanlu destroy the Pingguo mansion with his own hands. The souls of those whose families died unjustly may be able to get a better relief."

Mrs. Cao's heart tightened, she looked at Ye Mo who was as indifferent as ice, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she said firmly: "I can publicly testify against Duke Ping for slandering the Marquis of Changle, I just ask you to let my son go and Yun Ting."

Duke Qing's mansion was full of copycats and executions. Even though Luo Yuanlu was not Duke Qing's son, he was still an adopted son, and according to the law, he shouldn't be alive.

As for Yun Ting, once his identity as Chu Qinghuan's son is revealed, he will not survive either.

Thinking of Cao Yunting, Mrs. Cao felt a twinge of pain in her heart. All her mother's love was given to this son, but he was the stain of her husband's betrayal.

Although she hated it, she didn't want him to die either.

Ye Mo looked at Mrs. Cao, and was silent for a long time: "Okay, I promise you. On Laba Festival, you can ask the emperor to forgive me."

After speaking, Ye Mo left.

Not long after Ye Mo left, Cao Yunting came back.

As soon as Cao Yunting returned to the mansion, he heard from the housekeeper that Mrs. Cao had killed Nanny Kong, and also dealt with Madam Kong's family.

Although my mother is strict in managing the Duke's Mansion, she has never killed a servant for no reason. Even if a servant makes a mistake, at most she will sell the house.

What happened to mother? So many people were ordered to be executed at once, and it was the family of the father's nurse!

Cao Yunting hurried to the main courtyard, looking at Mrs. Cao, who looked tired and haggard, swallowed all the questions in his heart, and replaced them with worry and concern: "Mother, are you sick? My son will immediately ask the imperial physician to come and treat you .”

Seeing the unfeigned worry on Cao Yunting's face, Mrs. Cao's eyes were full of mist, and she reached out to hold Cao Yunting: "Yunting, mother" her voice was so choked that she couldn't speak.

When Cao Yunting saw it, he quickly hugged Mrs. Cao and patted her on the back: "Mother, my son is here. No matter what happens, my son will be with you."

Tears burst into Madam Cao's eyes: "I hate it so much"

Cao Yunting was taken aback, his mother said she hated her so much, what did her mother hate so much?

Seeing Mrs. Cao burst into tears, Cao Yunting quickly knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand to test the tears for Mrs. Cao.

There were more tears in Madam Cao's eyes. Holding Cao Yunting's hand, her lips trembled, trying to say something, but in the end all turned into choked sobs.

Cao Yunting was in a hurry: "Mother, don't scare your son what happened. Tell me, let's find a way together, no matter what happens, it can be solved."

Mrs. Cao shook her head: "It can't be solved."

Cao Yunting: "No, even if the son can't solve it, the son can still ask other people for help. Mother, you told your son since he was a child that there is nothing that can't be solved, as you said."

Mrs. Cao closed her eyes and let go of Cao Yunting's hand: "Go down, I want to be quiet."

"Mother."

Cao Yunting was unwilling to leave, which showed that Mrs. Cao didn't want to talk to him, so she could only leave full of doubts.

When Madam Cao came to the door, she suddenly said, "Yun Ting, no matter what mother does in the future, mother hopes that you can live a good life."

Hearing these farewell words, Cao Yunting was even more worried, and when he wanted to say something, Mrs. Cao waved to him: "Go down and get ready, I will take the money I raised into the palace in a few days and ask the emperor to let you go." your father."

Cao Yunting was overjoyed, although he felt that Mrs. Cao's words and deeds today were quite weird, but thinking that Mrs. Cao's mood has been unstable these days, she didn't think much about it, and quickly went down to prepare to take Ping Guogong back to the mansion.

Seeing Cao Yunting leave, Mrs. Cao cried again.

On the day of the Laba Festival, Mrs. Cao followed Ye Mo's instructions and wrote a plea.

When the emperor was looking at Mrs. Cao's book, Wei Guogong and several other court ministers happened to be there.

"Loves, Mrs. Pingguo has submitted an apology, do you think I should let Pingguo go?"

When Wei Guogong heard this, his expression immediately fluctuated.

Changlehou Mansion was copied by Old Duke Wei, that is, Duke Wei's father. After Ye Mo came to power, Duke Wei has been restless, worried that Ye Mo would take the opportunity to retaliate.

Although the Wei family is now in full swing, there are empress dowagers and empresses in the harem, and there is a prince in the previous dynasty, but Wei Guogong has never been rampant.

There is no way, the more powerful the Wei family is, the more they will be stared at by the emperor. The Wei family can only be more careful.

Furthermore, the crown prince's position is not stable. The eldest prince who had the status of the eldest son in the past is oppressing him, and the fourth prince and other princes are staring at him later. It is not an exaggeration to say that the prince is surrounded by wolves.

At this time, the Wei family must not cause trouble for the prince.

Therefore, Wei Guogong is very afraid of Ye Mo as an unstable factor. Whenever he has a chance, he wants to pull Ye Mo down. If he can't pull him down, he must work hard to make enemies for Ye Mo.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. Ping Guogong was arrested because of Ye Mo, and Ye Mo blocked others to help Ping Guogong many times. As long as Ping Guogong comes out, he will definitely trouble Ye Mo.

Thinking of this, Wei Guogong came out: "Your Majesty, I think that since Ping Guogong's wife has made up for the silver taels corrupted by ink, the court should give Ping Guogong a chance to redeem his sins."

Today's ministers who face the saint have a common feature, that is, they are all dissatisfied with Ye Mo.

Seeing that Duke Wei had made a statement, they all followed suit, saying that Duke Ping should be given a chance to reform himself.

Wei Guogong looked at the emperor's face, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, after all, Ping Guogong was greedy for a large amount of silver, and he let it go so easily. I'm afraid that other officials will follow suit. Why don't you let the emperor publicly admonish you at the court tomorrow morning?" It’s all about Duke Ping, let him learn a lesson.”

The emperor looked at Wei Guogong and other officials with downcast eyes, thought for a while and said, "Let Mrs. Pingguo and his wife go up to court to defend Pingguogong tomorrow."

Having achieved his goal, Duke Wei's eyes flashed joy, and then he bent down respectfully, and followed several other important officials out of the Qianqing Palace.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Yunting sent Mrs. Cao to the gate of the palace, watched her enter the palace, and then waited at the gate of the palace, full of expectations that the morning morning would be over soon, and then he could take his parents home.

Unfortunately, he did not wait for a family reunion, but for his mother to sue his father for framing the Changle Hou Mansion.

The fact that Marquis Changle colluded with the Prince Regent was the leader of the Yan Party. In the case of the Yan Party, it was extremely sensational, and everyone mentioned it with embarrassment.

Without him, Marquis Changle is a rare general. When guarding Liaodong, he repelled the Donghu army several times and made great contributions.

Now Ping Guogong's wife publicly testified that Chang Le Hou was wronged by Ping Guogong, and the real leader of the Yan Party is Ping Guogong himself.

As soon as this testimony came out, it directly shocked the civil and military officials.

Even the emperor was astonished, after all Duke Ping could be said to be his man.

"Ping Guogong has never broken the relationship with Yandang. Many of the silver taels that he colluded with salt merchants to corrupt ink were given to Yandang."

The relationship between Duke Pingguo and the salt merchants has gone through a clear path in front of the emperor.

In the emperor's heart, these silver taels belonged to him, and now he was told that his silver taels were used by Pingguo public to support the Yan Party, one can imagine the anger that was ignited.

All the officials were astonished, and Duke Pingguo, who was taken to the court, was not surprised.

But when he saw the intense hatred in Fa's wife's eyes, Duke Ping closed his eyes in despair.

She knows!

That's right, Ye Mo knew that Luo Yuanlu and Yun Ting had switched, so how could he not tell Cao Shi.

Cao Shi knew the truth, how could she not hate herself?

Duke Ping opened his eyes and looked at Ye Mo.

Ye Mo

Why didn't he die in the northwest, why did he come back alive?

Without him, the Pingguo Mansion will continue to run smoothly!

Duke Ping knew that the emperor only wanted to use Ye Mo, and he knew that he might not be able to pass this time, so he opened his mouth and wanted to pull Ye Mo off his horse in exchange for the lives of the rest of the Cao family.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Cao stood in front of him.

Looking at Mrs. Cao's red eyes, Duke Ping was speechless for a rare occasion.

"It's all your blood, how can you abuse my child like that?"

"Master, have you ever felt guilty about me?"

Thinking of the two sons who had been exchanged, Duke Ping looked at Mrs. Cao with guilt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cao twitched her mouth, and leaned on the Duke of the State, pretending to want to hug her.

The officials of the upper court were a little embarrassed when they saw it.

One moment, Mrs. Cao was righteously exterminating relatives to testify that Ping Guogong framed Chang Lehou, and the next moment she wanted to get close to Ping Guogong.

"Hmm~"

A muffled snort sounded, and the officials saw Duke Ping looking at Mrs. Cao incredulously, with a painful and distorted expression.

"Escort!"

Shi Dinghao, who was standing next to the emperor and acted as a loudspeaker, was the first to notice something strange, and quickly stopped in front of the emperor.

At this time, everyone saw a golden hairpin on Duke Pingguo's chest.

Good guy, all the three-inch-long golden hairpins have gone into Duke Pingguo's chest.

Duke Ping looked at Mrs. Cao in a daze: "You hate me that much?"

With a smile on her lips, Mrs. Cao leaned into Duke Pingguo's ear, and said softly, "I have to protect my child. When he was just born, it was me who was a bad mother. He was replaced. have no idea."

"As long as you die and the Pingguo Mansion falls, my children will be safe."

"you"

Blood continued to ooze out, and Duke Ping could clearly feel his life slipping away bit by bit.

Mrs. Cao looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You make me live like a joke. I have raised my son for my rival for more than 20 years, and finally I have to find a way to keep him alive."

"My lord, I really hate you!"

"Don't you value the family most? If you ruin me and my children, then I will let the entire Pingguo Palace go to hell with me."

Duke Ping looked at Mrs. Cao, whose eyes were full of devouring eyes, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his body fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

"Cao Shi, you are so brave, you dare to commit murder in front of the palace!"

As soon as the imperial guards rushed over, they saw Mrs. Cao pounce on Duke Ping, pulled out the hairpin on his chest, stabbed himself in the chest quickly and hard, and then fell into a pool of blood with a smile.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Young Master Zhao stepped forward quickly, knelt down and touched Duke Ping and Mrs. Cao's breaths: "Reporting to the Emperor, Duke Ping and his wife are dead."

Mrs. Cao wiped the poison on Jin Jiushang. Looking at the black lips of Ping Guogong and his wife, the officials all felt a little numb and stepped back.

The emperor's face was gloomy.

At this time, Ye Mo, who had been keeping his eyes on his nose and nose and his heart, suddenly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed: "I beg the emperor to avenge the Changle Hou Mansion."

The emperor looked at Ye Mo with dim eyes.

Very good, the dog Ye Mo dared to bite his master back!

He didn't believe that Ye Mo couldn't see that he didn't want to kill Duke Ping, but Ye Mo still disobeyed his will in a way that he had to agree to!

At this moment, all the officials felt the emperor's anger and bowed their heads in silence.

Looking at the Pingguo Duke and his wife who fell to the ground and died, the emperor was silent for a moment: "Shut everyone in the Pingguo Palace into prison and listen to them."

"As for the matter of Duke Pingguo's framing of the Marquis of Changle, it will be tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice." After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeves and retreated.

After the court, Shi Dinghao was fine. Usually, he would stay in the palace for a while, but today, he went home quickly.

After Shi's family heard Shi Dinghao vividly tell what happened in the hall, they were all shocked.

After Shi Fuxin heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

"Sister, Master Ye has really annoyed the emperor this time. You haven't seen how ugly the emperor's face is."

While the Shi family members were discussing in the house, Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin slipped out and walked side by side in the yard.

Shi Fuxin: ".I still remember the super strong desire to survive that Master Ye showed in the Northwest Guard. He lived so hard that he didn't hesitate to become the emperor's executioner. He had only one purpose, and that was to cleanse the grievances of the Marquis of Changle."

Shi Dinghao was full of worry: "Don't look at the power of the Special Investigation Division, but all this was given by the emperor. If the emperor wants to take it back, Master Ye can't resist."

"Master Ye has killed so many people before, once he loses the emperor's heart, there will be many people who will deal with him."

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother: "The Marquis of Changle has cleared away its grievances, and Master Ye is also benevolent. Everyone has their own way to go, and we have no right to interfere. You are an official in the palace, so you must not show any differences." color."

Shi Dinghao nodded: "I know."

Having been in charge of the Special Investigation Department for many years, Ye Mo held the tainted evidence of all the important officials in the court. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly tried the case of the Changlehou Mansion being wronged.

The booklet was delivered to the emperor, the emperor snorted coldly, thought of the dirty things that Ye Mo helped to deal with, hesitated for a while, and re-examined the case of Changlehou's mansion when he went to court the next day, and returned Changlehou The government is fair.

After Shi Dinghao went back to the mansion, he quickly told Shi Fuxin about the emperor's arrangement: "Sister, this morning, the emperor granted Ye Mo the title of Marquis of Changle, and gave him a mansion, and personally wrote the title of Marquis of Changle. plaque."

"but."

"The emperor said that Changle Hougui is a lord, and it is not easy to be in charge of the Techa Division. The Techa Division is now under the control of Liu Guifei's eldest brother Liu Houye."
