The Yisu Grand Ceremony was held again in the county school, and the people were still the same, but everyone knew that Hu County had changed. Since the land was reformed, it used to be the Qi family, and then the Xu family, and now, the most powerful person in Hu County is named Ye!
The two village owners, Gao and Li, happily signed and pledged to ensure that the people in the village will change their names and surnames. And Lin Shilang immediately reciprocated, and read out the imperial decree in public. In view of the exemplary role played by the two village owners in changing customs, they were appointed as the chief officers of the chief justice department, hereditary.
This of course aroused the great envy of the tribal leaders, but they also knew that the Gaoli Liangzhai had such strength, so they could get such a reward. They could only follow behind and wave the flag. Such a good thing is impossible It's their turn.
Things went very smoothly, unusually smoothly, compared to the twists and turns of the last time, it was nothing good to report, so that when the whole Yisu ceremony was over, Lin Shilang actually felt a little regretful. Of course, this is just a feeling in his heart, he doesn't want to really have another wave.
"Ye Xiancheng, you've done a great job!" Lin Shilang said to Ye Xiaotian with a smile on his face.
Huazhi County is presiding over the plan to suppress bandits and protect the road at the post station, Xu Xiancheng is eating in prison in the imperial envoy, and the master Wang...he "sick again", and among the Huxian officials present today, Ye Daixian Cheng is the leader Your Majesty, it is natural for him to take the lead in everything.
Ye Xiaotian leaned forward and said, "The imperial envoy congratulates you."
Li Xuancheng gave Ye Xiaotian a cold look, and said to Lin Shilang: "Master Lin, you've been busy for a long time, and you're tired. Let's go back and rest."
Lin Shilang nodded and said: "Okay! Then let's go back to Xingyuan, Ye Xiancheng, we will return to the capital tomorrow morning, you can make arrangements."
Ye Xiaotian leaned forward and said: "Yes! Tonight, the humble officials will hold a banquet, leading all the county officials and gentry to congratulate the successful completion of the Yisu Ceremony, and also farewell for the two imperial envoys, and please honor the two imperial envoys."
Uncle Li Guo didn't answer, and walked out with a cold face, Lin Shilang smiled at Ye Xiaotian, and followed. As soon as they left, all the officials and gentry surrounded Ye Xiaotian, chattering, some congratulating and some fawning. The two village masters, Gao and Li, were both excited and ashamed. Although some things should not be said bluntly, they surrounded Ye Xiaotian, and they used actions to show him that from now on, only Mr. Ye will follow suit.
When Ye Xiaotian left the county school, all the officials and gentry were still cheering and embracing, like the stars holding the moon, just as he stepped over the threshold, a policeman rushed over and shouted hoarsely: "Master Ye, Lord Ye, it's a big deal!" Not good! Post road... post road..."
Ye Xiaotian stopped when he heard the sound, and frowned involuntarily: "What's the big deal? There have been too many big things recently, so what's the big deal? Could it be that something went wrong in Huazhi County?"
Ye Xiaotian asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The arrester quickly rushed to Ye Xiaotian's side, raised his head suddenly, and said with a grin: "What do you think?"
As soon as he raised his head, Ye Xiaotian realized that something was wrong. Although this man had a big beard, his facial features clearly belonged to Xu Boyi. Ye Xiaotian never expected that Xu Boyi, who was already in prison, would appear here, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Xu Boyi stabbed Ye Xiaotian viciously, none of the officials and gentry was higher than Ye Xiaotian, they were all half a step behind him, Ye Xiaotian stopped and they all stopped too, seeing someone assassinate, everyone only had time to let out an exclamation, there was no time to stop .
Ye Xiaotian broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly retreated, his heel stumbled on the threshold, and his whole body leaned back, only to hear a sound of "嗤啦", Xu Boyi tore open his shirt with a knife, and blood flowed profusely immediately. Only then did the two village masters Gao and Li react, and suddenly pulled out their sabers.
Xu Boyi succeeded with the knife, he couldn't help but was stunned for a moment, seeing Ye Xiaotian was covered in blood, and the two village masters, Gao and Li, drew out their sabers, their expressions were ferocious, suddenly there was an inexplicable fear, he yelled, dropped the knife and ran back and go.
In fact, Ye Xiaotian fell on his back and fell into the door, so the knife was not heavy. When he was lying on his back, Xu Boyi stabbed him with a knife, and almost opened him up. The problem is that only a layer of skin was cut, and the blood did not flow. The injury was not serious, it just looked scary.
The two village chiefs, Gao and Li, supported Ye Xiaotian, and when they saw his belly was bright red, they were shocked, and shouted anxiously: "Master Ye! Master Ye! Quickly! Remove the door panel quickly, and take Master Ye to see a doctor!"
Ye Xiaotian covered the wound, his face was pale, and he said with difficulty: "Catch him, you can't... let him run away!"
It was the first time for the guards to encounter the assassination of an official, and they were in a hurry. They wanted to remove the door panel and carry the adult to treat the wound, and they wanted to follow the order to catch the assassin. They were so anxious that they were spinning like a spinning top. At this moment, another People dressed as civilian husbands came here with their trouser legs rolled up.
The person who came was Hua Yunfei. It has been more than two years since he killed Meng Xiancheng and Qi Mu. Orion, few people in the city know him, so when times have changed and few people still care about the incident back then, he will sometimes show his true face. Of course, he is still a fugitive on the official sea arrest document, and his real name and surname cannot be used.
Occasionally, he still needs to put on makeup. For example, when he pretended to be a policeman to help out and killed a few profiteers who caused road difficulties last time, he put on a big beard. Later, when he played the role of a migrant worker, he regained his original appearance. Even if someone saw that he was similar to the murderer in the past, with a different name, most of them would think that he was similar in appearance.
Ye Xiaotian was trying to make Hua Yunfei gradually surface, to be able to meet people in public, and he wanted to be in the officialdom, so he couldn't keep him as a black man. Now Hua Yunfei is pretending to be a spy hired by the government. He has found out some things and just reported to Huazhi County and Jing Qianhu, and he is about to come to inform Ye Xiaotian.
When Hua Yunfei saw Ye Xiaotian clutching his stomach, being supported by the two village masters Gao and Li, his body was stained with blood, he couldn't help but turn pale in shock, and hurried over and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The guards didn't dare to let him get close, they immediately raised their water and fire sticks, and shouted vigilantly: "Stop close!" The two village masters, Gao and Li, also raised their knives in their hands, showing great vigilance. Ye Xiaotian said with difficulty: "It's one of us, let him... come over!"
Everyone listened to what Ye Xiaotian said, so they moved out of the way, Hua Yunfei rushed to Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian said: "I'm fine, Xu Boyi... escaped from prison! You go... catch him back, don't let him... escape! "
As Ye Xiaotian said, he squeezed Hua Yunfei's hand hard with his bloody hand. Hua Yunfei nodded knowingly, asked several guards where Xu Boyi was escaping, and hurriedly chased after him.

Tao Siniang came out of Shizi Street in a hurry and turned into an alley, followed by a few guys, carrying a lot of things on their shoulders and in their hands.
Ye Xiaotian's mansion is undoubtedly the largest in Hu County in terms of area, and few people can match it in terms of wealth, but there is one thing, no matter how much money Ye Xiaotian spends, it cannot be compared with some wealthy gentry's in a short time. That's the bottom line.
The background needs to be accumulated slowly, and everyone in the family needs to grow up little by little in the process of family growth. Most of the people hired by Ye Xiaotian's family are from small families, and they have neither the vision nor the ability to manage such a large family.
Tao Siniang is a talented lady, knowledgeable and up to date, she is a rare figure in the Ye Mansion, she is now in charge of everything inside and out. Now that Ye Xiaotian has been promoted to an official, especially after this battle, his prestige in the hearts of the officials and people in Hu County has been consolidated, so there are often people walking around in the mansion.
If the etiquette and things for hospitality are not in place, Ye Xiaotian can only be the one who laughs behind his back, so Tao Siniang is very attentive, and today she personally rushed to Shizi Street to buy some things for hospitality. Tao Siniang bought a lot, and the store was happy to deliver the goods to her door.
Tao Siniang had just turned into an alley, when a person came rushing in front of her, she was very embarrassed, Tao Siniang took a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised, the man had a big beard under his chin, it should be sticky, because his face was full of big men , the beard fell off and drooped on his chin. Judging by his appearance, it was Xu Boyi.
Xu Boyi ran in such a panic, he rushed to Ye Xiaotian with a burst of resentment, stabbed out, but suddenly felt extremely frightened, after the hatred was vented, all he had was the fear of death, so he ran as fast as he could, Under the excitement, the potential was stimulated, but he really escaped.
Unexpectedly, Tao Siniang suddenly came from the front, Xu Boyi couldn't run anymore, when he saw Tao Siniang, there were a few people behind him, and he thought they were here to stop him, his knees softened and he knelt down on the ground, taking The crying voice said: "Si Niang! Si Niang! I knew I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong! Just let me go as a couple!"
Xu Boyi's knife saw blood, Ye Xiaotian was the one who fell, but it was his own courage that was frightened. Tao Siniang didn't know that he was going to assassinate Ye Xiaotian, but Tao Siniang knew about the fact that he failed in the fight with Ye Xiaotian and was questioned by the imperial envoy.
Tao Siniang was abandoned by Xu Boyi, she didn't know how much resentment she felt in her heart, but seeing him in such a mess at the moment, she couldn't help feeling sour. I vaguely remember when the two of them just got married, although they were poor, they loved each other. Since when did he become greedy for profit and use all means to achieve his goals.
Xu Boyi kowtowed like garlic, blood oozing from his forehead, Tao Siniang's heart softened, she turned her face away and said: "You go, just pretend that I haven't seen you."
"Can't go!"
Hua Yunfei shouted loudly and turned over from the wall.
