Chapter 195 Are You Gonna Let Me Survive?
The Fat Lady's cry was stuck in her throat and she couldn't come out. Her eyes were wide open with fear.
The tip of the sword was close to her forehead, almost within a piece of paper. The coldness penetrated through her forehead and into her nerves, making the fat lady feel cold and shivering involuntarily.
"Say what you just said again. After that, I'll send you off!" The man holding the sword was Ye Feizhou, dressed in black, looking even thinner.
Ye Feiyu held his wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive, don't cause trouble for Yan'er."
Ye Feizhou looked back at her, but when he saw Ye Wenyan nodded, he put down the sword in his hand, but he still stood there, so that even without the threat of the sword, the fat man still turned pale and dared not move, let alone speak.
Ye Wenyan sighed as she watched this scene, "Nowadays, the world has really changed. A fifth-rank official can even enter the mansion of a first-rank general." She looked at the old lady, "This is because my second uncle is incompetent. If he had the power, no one would dare to come to our house and make trouble in the middle of the night. Grandma, think about the past. Wasn't that a more comfortable life?"
More and more people gathered around, including some elderly people who looked like they had some status.
But they did not interrupt, just watched and never expressed their own opinions. Those who followed suit and shouted that not saving people would be killing people were either young people or women. The one who shouted the most was a combination of the two - young women.
The pressure brought by Miss Ye Si was too great. They dreamed that Ye Wenyan would die overnight, or leave Lin'an City and go far away. In this way, their lovers and pillows would not miss them, and their looks would not be eclipsed by Ye Wenyan's comparison.
But who could drive Ye Wenyan away? That was almost impossible, so they just fought with Ye Wenyan, and they would interfere in everything related to Ye Wenyan, and they would argue with him to vent their anger.
Someone caused trouble again tonight, and they all joined in blaming him, wishing to call Ye Wenyan a deadly demon.
Ye Wenyan ignored all this and only made her own analysis: "No wonder a disaster struck on New Year's Day. It was a small official who did evil. He didn't respect the country's merits and didn't love the common people. Such an official must be punished by God! It's a pity that we have been implicated and everyone in Lin'an has suffered with your family."
The fifth-rank official was confused, "What do you mean?"
"It means that you are not worthy of your position. I don't know how you got the position in the capital. Whose connections did you use? Anyway, God was angry and thought that all Northern Qi officials were like this, so he sent down natural disasters to express his dissatisfaction with the Northern Qi court. But in fact, we all know that there are not many officials like this in Northern Qi. Maybe you are the only one in the entire Lin'an City. Do you think you have implicated everyone?" These words made people stunned. It was just a matter of curing a disease, so how did Miss Ye Si bring it up to natural disasters in just a few words? Is this related to natural disasters?
Someone raised the question, but Ye Wenyan replied: "If you act improperly and are not a good official, God will be angry and people will resent you!"
The fifth-rank official understood, and so did the people. This meant that this person was a low-ranking official, but he was always acting big and powerful, and was disrespectful to the first-rank general's mansion, which was a violation of his authority. So the heavens got angry and became furious, and the dragon turned over!
The thin man was so angry that he was shaking. "You are talking nonsense! I am just a fifth-rank official. How can God see me?"
"Oh, you still know that you are only a fifth-rank official!" Ye Wenyan laughed. "Looking at the way you came to my house, I thought you were a first-rank official! But even if you were a first-rank official, you wouldn't be so aggressive as to come to a first-rank general's mansion to cause trouble. After all, he has brains, doesn't act impulsively, and knows what it means to think twice!"
"Bah!" The thin man was so angry that he jumped up and down, "A first-rank general's mansion? That was in the past! You don't have that title now!"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Don't talk like that. Even though the people are gone, their military achievements remain. If you talk like that, it will make those soldiers who fought for Northern Qi so hard and shed their blood so cold!"
In the crowd, a young man squeezed forward and looked at the adult with an angry face, "My brother died on the battlefield. Because the road was long, the body was not brought back. Only a jar with ashes of who knows how many people was mixed in was brought back. The government brought the jar home with an imperial edict that said that all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country would not die in vain, and their achievements would not be lost with their death. Northern Qi will always remember them, and their families will always receive salaries from the court and be taken care of by the court. Even if they are gone, their military achievements are still there, and no one can bully them. You are only a fifth-rank official, how dare you say such a thing just now? What do you think those people who gave up their lives to defend their country are? Who do you think you are?"
The man was really anxious, and the more he talked, the angrier he got, and finally he just started fighting with the fifth-rank official. Fortunately, there were many onlookers, so they pulled them apart, but he still kicked the official hard, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
The fifth-rank official wanted to rush up and hit him, but he heard Ye Wenyan say, "Go quickly. If you continue to make trouble, God will be angry again. It's a small matter if a thunderbolt strikes and kills you, but if the earth dragon turns over again, will you let the people of the whole city live? Why do you, who are not favored by God, want to implicate us all?"
People were talking about this, and there were all kinds of opinions and everyone took sides.
Madam Ye interrupted again: "What they said is right, not saving people is equivalent to killing people! The General's Mansion is not the same as before. You are so strong, what will happen if things get out of hand?"
Before Ye Wenyan could say anything, the young man who was pulled apart from the fight just now was not happy again: "Madam Ye, what do you mean? You just sit at home and do nothing, enjoying the fruits of others' labor, but you can't be so self-deprecating! It's not easy for General Ye and the Great General! They risked their lives to gain this family business, how can you just bow your head? What's wrong with not treating him? With his attitude, which fool can treat his son? I listened and watched from beginning to end, and I know what happened during the day. But they came without saying sorry, and asked the fourth young lady to treat the disease like a superior to a subordinate. What right does he have? What's wrong with not treating him?"
The old lady was speechless, military generals were the foundation of the Ye family, if she appeared too weak at a time like this, it would really chill people's hearts.
The old lady stopped talking, and people began to think about the charges that Ye Wenyan had brought against the fifth-rank official.
To be honest, this fifth-rank official is a bit ungrateful. What kind of place is a first-rank general's mansion? Where does he get the courage to cause trouble in a first-rank general's mansion? Is this fifth-rank official mentally ill?
The Ye family had made great military achievements, and now they are causing trouble. If God happened to pass by and saw or heard this, wouldn’t he be angry? Some even said, “This gentleman’s surname is Sun. He has just moved to the capital. On the first day he moved in, he whipped a vegetable vendor in the street in the outer city. Later, he entered the inner city and had an argument with a fourth-rank official that night. He was only a fifth-rank official, but he slapped the gentleman. He was really arrogant.”
Some people also said, "How can he not be arrogant? I heard that he is following the path of the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince was the legitimate son of the previous emperor and was to inherit the throne. Who wouldn't be afraid of the Sixth Prince?"
"But the problem is that the Sixth Prince is not the candidate for succession! Even the last emperor's will does not have his name written on it."
"So everything is wrong! You made such a big mistake, do you think God would not be angry?"
What these two people said was heard by many people. People spread the word from one to another and soon took the initiative to consciously link the earth dragon turning over on New Year's Day to this fifth-rank official, and said that this was the root cause of God's anger.
The fifth-rank official was so angry that he kept jumping up and down and shouting, "Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense!"
The fat lady was also anxious. Without the threat of Ye Feizhou's sword, she quickly became active again. She pointed at Ye Wenyan and shouted, "She's talking nonsense! This witch is talking nonsense! Our family has nothing to do with the earth dragon turning over. Our family has nothing to do with anything!"
Ye Wenyan spoke again at this time and asked, "Your family hasn't been in Beijing for long, right? When did you enter Beijing?"
Someone answered for them: "They moved on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Many of us saw it, and they even had a banquet!"
"Look, look!" Ye Wenyan shook his head. "You came to Lin'an on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the late emperor passed away on the second day... It's such a coincidence. I just heard that it was the Sixth Prince who introduced you to the capital? That's even more of a coincidence. What happened in the Su Palace on the second day of the twelfth lunar month? I don't need to tell you, you all know it, right? The Sixth Prince suffered so much! It's all your family's fault."
The couple was really anxious now. The blame for the death of the previous emperor was too heavy. Even if they had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to chop off! Why did things develop into this? How did it develop?
The fifth-rank official's eyes widened, and the skinny monkey-like man burst into a burst of anger. He stretched out his arms towards Ye Wenyan and shouted, "You witch, not only did you not treat my son, but you also framed me. I will fight you!"
As soon as he spoke, he went up to her and grabbed her neck.
Ye Wenyan moved lightly to the back of Ye Feizhou and shouted, "Don't come over here! Your behavior has already angered the heavens. The earth dragon has turned over once. Do you want to turn over again? Why are you so vicious? Do you want to let the people of Lin'an City live? Please leave us a way out!"
The man was howling and there was no way he could stop. Even if Ye Feizhou was blocking him, he would jump over Ye Feizhou and dig out Ye Wenyan's throat.
Ye Wenyan stood still, and at the same time lowered his voice to tell Ye Feizhou not to move, and watched the man's hand stretch out towards him, about to touch his skin.
At this moment, suddenly, the ground began to shake...
