The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 543 The Secret of the Jiang Family

Old Madam Ye tried desperately to think about how many land deeds she had, but the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, because many of her properties had already been transferred to Ye Jingshengming, and even more had been sent back to the Jiang family in Xiushan County.

Now she needs these things to save her life, but who can spit out what she has given out?

By the way, the Xiao family!

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "I once transferred two farms, two shops, and a hundred acres of fertile land to my second son. They were all Xiao Shubai's butler in the past. These things must have fallen into Xiao Shubai's hands, and Xiao Shubai must have sent them back to the Xiao family to her mother. Lord Emperor, you can find them as long as you check the old lady of the Xiao family!"

Shi Liyuan was not satisfied with this answer, but he did not rule out checking on Old Madam Xiao, after all, the old lady did not have a good relationship with their little girl. So he instructed Zhou Cheng again: "Send a servant to Lin'an Prefecture and call Chi Hongfang to me."

Zhou Cheng agreed immediately and quickly passed on the instructions. He also specifically instructed the servant he sent out to make sure to mention that the Emperor was here, so that Prefect Chi could arrive faster.

Shi Liyuan looked at Madam Ye again and narrowed his eyes. "Besides the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Jiang family in Xiushan County also has a lot of things in their hands, right? I heard that you have been like a mouse moving house in recent years. Not only did you instigate the second young lady of the Ye family to ask for money and things from the eldest house, you also emptied the public treasury of the Ye Mansion and sent all of it to the Jiang family. Is this true?"

The old lady subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Yun Chen reminded her: "Don't even think about lying in front of the Emperor."

The old lady confessed the truth: "That's true, but, but there is a reason for it. Our Jiang family saved the Ye family, and my father had the opportunity to be an official in Beijing when he was alive, but because of the marriage with the Ye family, he was afraid that the court would be too wary of the Ye family, so he gave up his future. The Ye family promised the Jiang family that they would do their best to give them a good life, so they have been supporting the Jiang family all these years. The old man knew all this when he was alive, and he had no objection."

Lian Shi was amused by what he heard, "No objection? Does General Ye have no objection? He just doesn't want to bother with you! He's just repaying a favor! But you Jiang family can't go too far, right? What, you can't repay this favor completely? You have to remember it for one lifetime or two, and now it's your turn, and you want the younger generation to continue repaying this favor as well? What's the point? When can it be repaid completely?"

"I've reported it all. I won't do it again." The old lady was so upset that she was about to cry, but Lian Shi glared back at her.

"You've only repaid it now?" Lian Shi was dissatisfied. "It's too late. I've never heard of anyone going bankrupt to repay a favor, nor have I heard of someone letting his granddaughter go and cheat his daughter-in-law for money and property and take it back to support his grandmother's family. You Jiang family are really great. Fortunately, no one from such a family has come to Beijing to be an official, otherwise the court would have been harmed by you!" Lian Shi had never been polite before, and every word he said frightened the old lady.

But the next words from the Emperor made her even more frightened. Then she heard Shi Liyuan say, "Lian Shi, send someone to Xiushan County tomorrow to raid the Jiang family and return all the seized property to the Ye family's eldest house."

Lian Shi immediately agreed and asked one more question: "After the house is confiscated, are you going to exterminate the whole clan?"

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!" The old lady was really going crazy. How angry did the Emperor come to the general's mansion today? Was he going to kill all those who were against Ye Wenyan? What was so good about Ye Wenyan that she was married once, and yet she could still be favored by the Emperor? The Emperor's eyes...

She wanted to ask if the Emperor was not blind, but she dared not even think about it, let alone say it to others.

As for the Jiang family, she must not plunder it. Although her parents were no longer in that family, and although she did not think that the rise and fall of the Jiang family was more important than her life, the Jiang family held a secret of hers and also a person. Although Ye Wenyan already knew about this, she still did not want the Emperor to know about it, and she did not want that person to be exposed by the Jiang family.

The reason why she kept sending things to the Jiang family over the years was that the Ye family must repay the favor. She used the life-saving grace and her father's resignation to shut up Ye Zhenwei, but in fact it was because the Jiang family found the scholar, Ye Jingsheng's biological father, and hid him in the Jiang Mansion.

No one in Beijing knew that Jiang family steward Fan Pingxian was the scholar.

Of course, he didn't always work as the housekeeper of the Jiang family. Jiang Shuo hid him outside for many years until he was old and no longer as handsome as he was when he was young. He even grew a beard early. Only then did he return to the Jiang family and live under the eyes of the Jiang family, hiding it from everyone, including Tang who had seen him before.

This is Madam Ye’s biggest secret, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Jiang family has been able to blackmail her for so many years.

She couldn't say anything, nor did she have the face to say it, so she could only beg the Emperor not to raid the Jiang family.

Shi Liyuan snorted softly, but didn't say much. He just waved his hand to let the matter go, but told the old lady: "The Jiang family of Xiushan County will turn the tables sooner or later, if not now, then in the near future. I didn't take action, not because I didn't want to, but because I wanted to leave it to Ah Yan. The Ye family's affairs should be settled by the Ye family, which is the right way.

Jiang, you must pay for your evil deeds. This is the law of nature, and no one can escape it. I will wait for another month. If Ah Yan still can't finish these things at home, then I will do it myself. No matter what is found, all those involved will be killed.

I am not a good-tempered deity, nor am I a patient deity. So I will not give you a chance to mend your ways. It is best to kill you all, which will save you trouble and worry."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Zhou Cheng immediately stepped forward and carried the old lady back to the snow pile in the front yard and threw her there. When he came back, Chi Hongfang also arrived. As soon as he entered the flower hall, he knelt down to greet Shi Liyuan, looked around, and asked again: "Where is the Empress? Why don't I see the Empress here? I have to kowtow to the Empress!"

Zhou Cheng was convinced immediately!

Otherwise, how can we say that he is a stable official? He is so good at judging the situation! He is so talkative! It is true that different positions lead to different perspectives! He felt that he was a superior person just because he could be the housekeeper of Ye Mansion. He didn't expect that to be the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, he needed such awareness. He was really not a little bit behind!

Shi Liyuan listened to Chi Hongfang's words, but did not answer, but nodded. This means that although I don't want to answer you, I am still very satisfied with your words.

Chi Hongfang was very happy. After he stood up, he asked again, "I wonder if the Emperor has any instructions for me to come here?"

Shi Liyuan brought another bowl of soup, took a sip and said, "Go check what properties, real estate and land are owned by the old lady of the Ye family and the whole family of the second branch. Transfer all of them to...register them under the name of the eldest lady of the Ye family."

Chi Hongfang was stunned. Under Madam Ye's name? Why not under Fourth Miss Ye's name?

Lian Shi saw that he was confused and took the initiative to explain: "Those things were taken away by the old lady from Madam Ye. Taking them back is considered returning them to their original owner. As for how the things will be distributed in the future, that is also Madam Ye's business, and the Empress will not be involved."

Chi Hongfang understood and immediately said, "I will go check it out right away. I'll take my leave now." He didn't feel reluctant to leave and left as soon as he said he would.

It is important to see the Emperor, but it is more important to listen to the Emperor and work for him. He can grasp this balance.

Chi Hongfang left, and Shi Liyuan was full. When full, he needed to digest the food, so he set up a formation and covered the First-class General's Mansion with a magic shield. Then he used a teleportation spell to pull up the land on the east and west sides and swapped their positions in the air. When they landed again, the yard was still the same yard, the houses were still the same houses, and even the people were still the same people, but their positions in the general's mansion had been swapped.

Ye Feiyu and his companions were horrified by what they saw, but even more horrified were the servants who were working in the yard.

No matter the maids or the servants, they were all shocked. No one expected that the person would suddenly be lifted into the air along with the ground, and then continue to move in the air, and then fall to the ground with a bang. Then the dust merged together, and in the blink of an eye, it was impossible to tell which piece of ground moved in later. The ground was tightly connected, without a single flaw.

In Ye Wenyan's room, Xiangdong was also frightened. She sat on the ground hugging the table, not daring to move.

Zhuier and Ji Rong were not surprised. Ji Rong even said to Xiang Dong, "Don't be afraid. This must be the Emperor performing a great magic. I just stood by the window and saw that our yard was lifted into the air and moved from the west to the east, just like riding in a carriage, but more stable than a carriage. After it was moved, it landed and became what it is now. Oh, by the way, this is the former Tianwu Pavilion. When we took off, Tianwu Pavilion also took off, and the two sides exchanged positions."

Zhuier followed up and said, "I looked too. All the courtyards in the east courtyard have been exchanged with those in the west. In other words, we have moved back to the east. Our eldest son has moved back to the east, and our young lady has also returned to Tianwuxuan.

But now Tianwuxuan is much smaller than before, and there is still a lot of empty space outside the courtyard wall. We can expand it later and make it as big as when we lived in the east side when we were children."

Xiang Dong listened to them talking and gradually recovered. Her young lady had married a husband like the Emperor, so as maids, it was normal for them to experience some strange things, right?

but……

"How thick was the soil when it was pulled up?" Xiangdong asked a very professional question, "Were they pulled up together with the foundation?"

After saying this, fearing that Zhuier and Ji Rong might not understand, he immediately explained: "Our house has an underground secret room. If the ground is too thin, wouldn't the things in the secret room fall to their original places?"
