The most arrogant in history

Chapter 350 Carrying manure!

Jiang Youbao's face turned pale with horror, and he shouted at Ye Kun: "King of Hanzhong, you have to save me!"

Aunt Xue even knelt down in front of Ye Kun and shouted, "Uncle-in-law, we don't want that house anymore. Can't we just return it?"

"What are you doing? Master Ma hasn't finished speaking yet, and I don't know what happened. Why are you so anxious?"

Ye Kun frowned, asked his attendants to help Aunt Xue up, and said, "Everyone sit down and eat, and chat while you eat."

Jiang Yourong was also nervous and frightened. She pulled her sister-in-law into the back hall and asked about the specific reasons.

Only then did Ma Zhao sit down and eat together.

Jiang Youbao was trembling with fear, and had no mind to eat. His hand holding the wine glass was shaking constantly, and half of the wine spilled.

A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always sad!

What the ancients said was not wrong after all.

Ye Kun accompanied him with a few glasses of wine and asked, "Master Ma, what crime did Jiang Youbao commit? Is it serious?"

"Buying someone else's house by force, and forcing someone to death."

Ma Zhao said with a straight face, "Three days ago, the victim complained in my hall. I asked Lord Jiang to confront him in the hall, but Lord Jiang refused to go and even cursed my men."

"Ah, someone died?"

Ye Kun slapped his forehead and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

It’s only been a short time since I entered Yizhou.

How dare my brother-in-law take advantage of his power and do such a heartless thing!

If power is not controlled and without constraints and supervision, corruption and bullying will inevitably spread to every inch of land. At that time, the country will be not far from its demise!

Jiang Youbao shouted: "I didn't do that. It was the servants who did it. I don't know. I really don't know..."

"shut up!"

Ye Kun was angry and pointed at Jiang Youbao: "From now on, you are not allowed to speak. Sit aside and listen. Wait until Master Ma finishes speaking, then you can speak."

Jiang Youbao was startled and immediately shut up. He sat there blankly, with cold sweat on his head.

Ma Zhao continued to state the case simply and clearly, and finished it in a moment.

It was Jiang Youbao's brother-in-law, Xue Wanquan, the younger brother of Xue Sangu, who came forward to forcibly buy the luxury house, beat to death a servant in the other party's family, and then forced the other party to sign a contract to sell the house.

But the buyer's name was Jiang Youbao.

Ye Kun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could still find a scapegoat and save Jiang Youbao's life.

Ma Zhao finished speaking and said:

"The murderer Xue Wanquan is currently in Lord Jiang Youbao's army. I have summoned him several times, but he refused to appear. I was planning to ask for King Hanzhong's warrant tomorrow, but I didn't expect that King Hanzhong already knew about this."

Ye Kun nodded and ordered his men: "Immediately arrest Xue Wanquan and send him to Lord Ma's prison hall."

The attendants took the order and left.

Jiang Youbao was sweating profusely and said with his head down: "King of Hanzhong, this matter is a misunderstanding. I guess Xue Wanquan also made a mistake..."

"okay."

Ye Kun waved his hand: "Jiang Youbao will be temporarily dismissed and sent to the prison to await the investigation of Lord Ma Zhao. We can talk about other things after this matter is over.

In addition, immediately seal up Jiang Youbao's residence and count his property. After sealing it up, hand it over to Lord Ma for verification. If there is a huge amount of property from unknown sources, deal with it strictly according to the law!"

"King of Hanzhong, please spare my life..." Jiang Youbao wailed and almost fainted.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yourong also rushed over from the back hall and pleaded in a low voice: "Husband, if you seal it overnight, I'm afraid it will scare my parents..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have already made arrangements. First, invite the two old people to live with us. I am usually busy and don't have time to honor them. As for other family members, bring them all over. All other servants will be kept under guard."

Jiang Youbao's family now includes his parents, two concubines, and several children.

The rest were servants and slaves.

The personal soldiers cooperated with Ma Zhao to seal off Jiang Youbao's house overnight and began to count his property.

Jiang Youbao was also taken away by Ma Zhao.

Xue Sangu knew that she had caused a big disaster, so she didn't dare to ask Ye Kun for help, but just begged bitterly in front of Jiang Yourong.

Jiang Yourong sighed: "Sister-in-law, this is a national event. How dare I, a woman, say anything? But don't worry, no matter what, I will save my brother's life."

Jiang Yourong has a deep understanding of her sister-in-law's greed!

In the past two years, Xue Sangu was the housekeeper in charge of the food and drink expenses of the palace. All purchases in the palace were in her hands, and she embezzled a lot of money.

Jiang Yourong also repeatedly asked her mother and second sister to be virtuous and reminded her eldest sister-in-law not to go too far.

Jiang Yourong even gave Xue Sangu a lot of money in private, hoping that she would not embezzle public funds.

As a result, Xue Sangu continued to be greedy.

It was not until this spring that Xue Sangu became pregnant again. Jiang Yourong took the opportunity to let her go home to rest and revoked her position as the head housekeeper.

Xue Sangu must have been involved in this forced purchase of a private house, and she might even be the mastermind.

Back in the bedroom, Jiang Yourong secretly looked at Ye Kun, thinking about how to plead for mercy.

"Silly, this is none of your business, don't take it to heart." Ye Kun hugged Jiang Yourong and comforted her softly:

"Let's wait until Ma Zhao has investigated the case thoroughly, then we can talk about it. Anyway, I won't kill Uncle Feng'er. He is your brother, and I have to save your face no matter what."

"Husband, let my brother and sister-in-law go back to Jianghetou to farm."

Jiang Yourong buried her head in Ye Kun's arms, tears streaming down her face: "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry, but it's also my fault that I couldn't persuade them. If you can spare their lives, I'll be satisfied."

"Asking them to go back to farming probably won't work. But this time, we must teach them a lesson."

Ye Kun pulled Jiang Yourong to sit down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, spend time with your parents and give them some advice when you have time. I will handle other matters."

Jiang Yourong nodded slightly and rested with Ye Kun.

With Ye Kun's full support, Ma Zhao handled the case very quickly.

By the afternoon of the next day, the case had been fully investigated and all parties had signed their names.

All of Jiang Youbao's property was also confiscated and counted.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

The private money of Jiang Youbao and Xue Sangu was equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, as well as a large amount of furniture, clothing, jewelry, and porcelain.

Ma Zhao came to ask Ye Kun how to handle this.

This is also Ma Zhao giving face, because Ye Kun also gave Ma Zhao face!

Ye Kun clasped his fists in thanks and said:

"Xue Wanquan beat someone to death, he is the primary murderer. Even if Jiang Youbao ordered him to do it, he has to take the blame. Jiang Youbao is the princess's biological brother, we can only cover it up to avoid damaging the princess's face and prestige."

Ma Zhao nodded and asked, "What should we do with the property seized from Jiang Youbao's house? He said that all of it was given to him by the Empress in the past few years, and we can't verify it."

"Since it was given to him by the Queen, take it back and return it to the Queen. The Queen said that my brother and his wife are immoral, and she is willing to transfer these rewards to the Gonglie Village, the Orphanage, and the Nursing Home."

Ye Kun sighed and said:

"Jiang Youbao's lax rule led to his servants beating and killing people, so he was dismissed from his post and his salary was stopped. The couple were sent to the vegetable garden to carry manure and grow vegetables to see the effect."

Ma Zhao laughed, but then held it back.
