Chapter 13
Before Zhang Maocai could react, he was dragged out by several fierce soldiers.
In order not to scare Ye Huan's mother and son in the house, they were dragged to a distance and beaten.
"I... I'm a court official, you... how dare you!" Zhang Maocai struggled to get up, but was slammed on the hard ground by a big hand holding down his head.
A soldier said, "Feng doesn't care who you are, just do what you do today, and you should divide your body into five horses."
Zhang Maocai was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
After the thirty big boards were over, Zhang Mao fainted in pain.
Ye Huan in the room coaxed Ye Tianming for a while, and when his son recovered, he looked at Sun Jiayu, "Mr. Sun, Tianming was just frightened, let's go back and talk about it."
Sun Jiayu nodded and took them back Xuzhou.
After entering the city, Ye Huan's mother and son first returned to Tiansheng Restaurant.
Sun Jiayu took Zhang Maocai to the mansion, and at the same time sent people to surround Zhang mansion.
In the prison, a bucket of cold water was poured to wake Zhang Maocai.
As soon as he woke up, he felt a piercing pain in his buttocks.
"Ah!" After howling a few times, when it was clear that the place where he was located was the Heavenly Prison, his back suddenly became cold, and he asked Sun Jiayu, "Who are you? How dare you do something to me?"
The candlelight in the Heavenly Prison It was dim, Sun Jiayu stood in the light and shadow, took two steps forward, and said with a dark face, "It seems that you don't know the old man."
Zhang Maocai squinted at Sun Jiayu, feeling familiar, but he couldn't say the specific name. , I must have seen it, but I have not spoken.
"The old one's surname is Sun, and he is the Taifu on the spot." Sun Jiayu watched his subordinates move a chair, and after sitting down, he continued, "Zhang Maocai, do you know what crime you committed?"
Zhang Maocai shook his head and heard that the person in front of him was Taifu. His heart was half cold, "Sun... Master Sun, you must have misunderstood me!"
"Misunderstanding?" Sun Jiayu's expression was still very ugly. Originally, such a thing was not under his control, but when he met in Xuzhou, it also involved the prince on the spot, so he could only come forward, "The old man has been investigating you for a long time, you set up a private casino, Disregarding human life, one after another, all of them have solid evidence, but there is no misunderstanding." As
he spoke, the people next to him came over and whispered, saying that Zhang Youcai was brought in.
"Put the person in the cell next door and let Zhang Maocai hear it." Sun Jiayu said.
Zhang Maocai heard that his eldest brother was arrested, and the other half of his heart was also cold. He slumped on the ground and heard a painful cry from the next door, and Zhang Maocai knew that he was completely finished. Even if he was killed, he would never have imagined that Ye Huan would actually be able to get on the big boat of the Grand Master of the Dynasty.
After a while, Zhang Youcai recruited.
As a result, Zhang Maocai's charges were confirmed.
"Sun... Master Sun, will you please bypass me this time?" Zhang Maocai said earnestly, "As long as you let me go, I can give you all of my wealth."
Sun Jiayu sneered, "Zhang Maocai, if this old man is a rich man People, you really can’t get enough of your family property.”
Sun Jiayu stood up, saw Zhang Maocai cry, and said, “Do you know whose child Ye Tianming is?”
Zhang Maocai shook his head, how could he know . But Sun Jiayu didn't give him an answer, but went straight out of the cell.
The next day, Sun Jiayu came to Ye Huan and said that Zhang Maocai's case had been finished. Zhang Maocai and Zhang Youcai were both arrested, and the people in Zhang's house were also controlled. As for how to deal with it, it was up to the emperor.
At the same time, it also conveyed the meaning of asking Ye Huan to take Ye Tianming to Shengjing.
Ye Huan knew that he couldn't escape, so he had already made psychological preparations.
When the group approached Shengjing, Ye Huancai told his son the truth.
Ye Tianming's big eyes turned and turned, and the big tears couldn't stop flowing.
Since he can remember, he has only one mother by his side. I also asked what was going on, but my mother said that he would understand when he grew up. When Zhang Maocai appeared, he also guessed whether Zhang Mao was his father.
But no matter how he thought about it, he believed that his mother was his mother.
"Wuwu, I don't want to separate from my mother." Ye Tianming hugged his mother tightly and said.
Ye Huan was also reluctant, but how could the emperor's son continue to recognize her as his mother.
"Mother is also reluctant to be separated from Tianming. Your biological father remembers you. This is a good thing. It means that there will be another person who loves you. After you recognize your ancestors and return to the family, we will see you again." Ye Huan said softly.
"Really?" Ye Tianming was so old, he had not been to Shengjing, and he didn't know what it meant to be the emperor's son.
Ye Huan nodded and said it was true. After Ye Tianming regains her identity, she can still meet again when she comes to Shengjing to open a restaurant.
After some comfort, Ye Tianming was still a little nervous.
When entering the palace, Sun Jiayu led the way.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, Sun Jiayu reminded Ye Huan in a low voice, "After entering, don't look up. If your Majesty doesn't ask any questions, don't speak."
Ye Huan was also a little nervous, but she was trained anyway. Holding Ye Tianming's little hand, after the eunuch came out, he lowered his head and followed.
The hall was smoked with sandalwood. Ye Huan kept looking at the floor. After kneeling down, he heard a low voice, but did not dare to look up.
The emperor's eyes have been falling on Ye Tianming. Although the child is young, he has a seven-point resemblance to him, and his eyes are exactly the same as the deceased former queen.
Seeing the son he had missed for a long time, the emperor trotted down from the dragon chair and hugged Ye Tianming, "My child, it's really hard for you."
Ye Tianming was told before coming in that he could not go against the emperor, so he was held by the emperor. .
Seeing that the emperor was crying, he didn't feel much, but his heart was sour, and he couldn't say why.
"Your Majesty, my mother treats me very well and is not bitter." Ye Tianming didn't understand the rules of the palace, and he said that he was still the same as usual.
Ye Huan's heart tightened, and when he was thinking about how to remind her, the emperor looked at her.
"You are the Ye family?" the emperor asked.
"Go back to the emperor, Ye Huan, the grass people." When Ye Huan spoke, he still didn't look up.
The emperor only saw half of Ye Huan's face, he should look good, and his voice should be nice, "I have heard the Taifu about you. Zhang Maocai deserves to die, and I will execute him. You raise my children. , if you have any requirements, just say, I will satisfy you."
Ye Huan shook his head and said no, even if he did, he would not say it in front of the emperor, "Caomin runs a restaurant by himself, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, Tianming can recognize it. Your Majesty, Caomin is already very happy and has nothing else to ask for." The
Emperor was very satisfied with Ye Huan's reply and did not ask for merits and rewards, indicating that Ye Huan was of good character.
"Since you are not short of money, I will give you a title. After all, it is you who raised my son, and I owe you a favor." The emperor thought for a while, "I will name you Madam Xu Guo, enjoy Wanyi, and give it to you in Shengjing. One mansion."
With the title, he is not an ordinary wine merchant, and many court ordered women to salute Ye Huan when they saw Ye Huan.
Ye Huan stayed with Ye Tianming in the palace for half a month. During this period, Ye Tianming learned the rules of the palace, and everyone in Shengjing knew that the emperor had found his son. Many people wanted to come to see them, but they were all stopped by the emperor.
The emperor said that Tianming was not yet familiar with the life in the palace and did not want those people to scare him.
For this lost and found son, the emperor loves him very much. In addition, Tianming learns everything very quickly. Every day when he goes to court, the emperor will come to sit and sit.
Slowly, Tianming also became acquainted with the emperor.
During this period, Ye Huan went to see Zhang Maocai the day before Zhang Maocai was executed.
In the prison, Zhang Maocai was in ragged clothes and messy hair.
When Ye Huan arrived, Zhang Maocai heard Ye Huan's voice and immediately wanted to pounce, but was caught by the chain.
"Ye Huan, you bitch! I'm like this now, you're proud!" Zhang Maocai struggled to shake the chain, making a crackling sound.
Ye Huan nodded and said yes, there is no one else in the prison, she can say whatever she wants, "Zhang Maocai, I'm here today to see your jokes."
"Bitch! You must die!" .
"Zhang Maocai, you have today, and you deserve it. If your mother hadn't been so cruel and you were not so selfish, you wouldn't have today." Ye Huan said with a sneer, seeing Zhang Maocai cry, she would be satisfied.
After a pause, Ye Huan leaned forward a little, lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Maocai, everyone says I'm a good person, but it's all my intention to ask Ye Taigong to make a move to force you to do it. Wait for you to get off. After hell, you have to forgive me, because you deserved what you deserved."
Without further ado, Ye Huan left the prison.
Zhang Maocai asked about the day of the beheading, but Ye Huan did not go to see it in person.
She learned from Sun Jiayu that after Zhang Maocai's accident, Yu Qianqian hanged himself, and Yu Xingzhi also pleaded guilty. The emperor recalled Yu Xingzhi's past credits, but just dismissed Yu Xing's official position and let him go home for retirement.
And Ye Huan also opened a branch of Tiansheng Restaurant in Shengjing, still in the name of Ye Tiansheng, but everyone knew that Ye Tiansheng was Ye Huan's younger brother. For a time, Tiansheng Restaurant was full.
After Tianming got used to the life in the palace, Ye Huan went out of the palace to live in the mansion rewarded by the emperor.
The emperor owed Tianming, so he didn't care about Tianming's frequent visits to Ye Huan. If anyone dared to criticize, the always benevolent emperor would get angry. After a few times, the courtiers knew that the emperor favored the eldest prince the most, and even followed Ye Huan.
But Ye Huan didn't want to participate in the complicated political affairs. She came to Shengjing just for Tianming.
Ye Huan didn't see any of those who sent pilgrimages to ask for errands.
She now has power and money, and a big house, and her life is free and comfortable.
For the next ten years, Ye Huan lived a leisurely life of fishing today and playing Pai Gow tomorrow.
And Tianming also grew up to be on his own, and in a battle with the following, he successfully became the prince.
After the emperor's death, Tianming succeeded to the throne successfully and added a title to Ye Huan.
For a time, when people in Shengjing saw Ye Huan's carriage, they would subconsciously avoid it. Everyone knew that Ye Huan was the most important person to the new emperor.
But Ye Huan didn't want to be spoiled. She knew that the higher her status, the more people would stare at her, so she set up a manor on the outskirts of Shengjing, away from the courtroom.
However, every festival, the emperor would take Ye Huan into the palace to show his attention.
In the second half of her life, she was protected by the emperor, and she was smooth and comfortable.
