Chapter 1050 Ye Mingsheng’s punishment!

Feeling the grievance and complaint in An Miaoyi's words, Ye Mingsheng said calmly:

“Miaoyi, tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you…”

An Miaoyi was stunned when these words came out, and she remembered Cui Shao's previous warning to her, that she must not admit it no matter what and must insist on making it clear that she had done nothing.

Thinking of this, An Miaoyi opened her mouth to speak, but before she could finish her words, her sixth sense as a woman made her feel that things would be very troublesome once they were spoken, and she might even encounter a situation that she absolutely did not want to see!
This premonition was so strong that for a moment An Miaoyi didn't know what to do or how to face Ye Mingsheng's questions.
Just when she was at a loss, Ye Mingsheng saw that she didn't say anything and spoke again:

"I know that the assassination of Murong Zhengshan was not done by you, Miaoyi, and you have no collusion with the Zhennan Army!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, An Miaoyi felt relieved. However, just when she was about to say, "My husband is wise," Ye Mingsheng spoke again, which startled her.

"But you and I both know that Miaoyi, you are not innocent in this matter. You have thoughts and ideas that you shouldn't have!"

Although Ye Mingsheng's voice was very calm when he said this, it was like a sledgehammer hitting An Miaoyi's heart, making her breathless for a while...
At this moment, An Miaoyi was feeling anxious, but also somewhat relieved!
What made her uneasy was her own little actions, as Ye Mingsheng seemed to know them clearly. Fortunately, she did not say that she did nothing as Cui Shao had instructed.

Although she still doesn't know how Ye Mingsheng will punish her, after being with Ye Mingsheng for so many years, An Miaoyi still understands Ye Mingsheng's character!

She knew that what Ye Mingsheng hated most was betrayal and deception, so if she had chosen to deceive just now, the consequences would be very serious.

Although I am still guilty now, the result is much better than if I had been stubborn to the end. This is a blessing in disguise.

After hesitating for a while, An Miao leaned in Ye Mingsheng's arms and said softly:
"My dear husband, I was wrong!"

After An Miaoyi finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng did not respond for a long time. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the atmosphere became very solemn. An Miaoyi was very nervous at this moment, not knowing how Ye Mingsheng would punish her.

In this uneasy mood, An Miaoyi heard Ye Mingsheng's voice again.

"Where did you go wrong?"

An Miaoyi bit her teeth lightly after hearing this, hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"I was wrong for having thoughts that I shouldn't have!"

"anything else?"

“I am interfering in government affairs…”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng turned over and pressed An Miaoyi under him. He looked into An Miaoyi's eyes and said coldly:
"If you knew that, why did you do it?"

"I have already let Gu Sansi be Jingren's teacher, and I have also given you the right to know. What else do you want?"

Feeling the coldness in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, An Miaoyi didn't dare to look at Ye Mingsheng, and could only lower her head and whisper:
"I am possessed by a ghost!"

Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Ye Mingsheng's eyes flashed with sternness and he said in a deep voice:
"Lie down!"

As soon as these words were spoken, An Miaoyi's face suddenly turned red, but she still obeyed obediently under Ye Mingsheng's gaze.

Half an hour later, Ye Mingsheng lay on the bed a little tired and said in a deep voice:
"All your properties outside the palace will be confiscated. Zhao Xiangqing and Ye Kuanzi will be transferred out of Yijing. In addition, those who work for you must be liquidated and investigated."

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, An Miaoyi was shocked and couldn't help but look up at Ye Mingsheng as if she wanted to say something. However, feeling the indifference in Ye Mingsheng's expression, An Miaoyi knew that Ye Mingsheng was not discussing with her, but ordering her to do so.

In addition to the small treasury outside, An Miaoyi quietly bought more than 100,000 taels of property outside in these years, and she also accepted An Zhirong's death squad, thugs, and assassins...

In addition to these, Ye Kuanzi and Zhao Xiangqing are also young officials that she focuses on winning over, and An Miaoyi also has high hopes for them!

It took a lot of effort to prepare these An Miaoyi for myself, but now with Ye Mingsheng's words, all of this has vanished!
Although her heart was bleeding, An Miaoyi knew that she couldn't and would not go against Ye Mingsheng's will, so she could only whisper to Ye Mingsheng:
"I understand. Tomorrow I will have them hand over the land deeds and the personnel list!"

Seeing that An Miaoyi admitted her mistake with a good attitude, Ye Mingsheng continued:
"Your mother will soon follow a group of An family members to Yijing. By then, I will grant the An family shops and land, which will be enough for them to live a wealthy life!"

"They will be self-reliant by then, and you won't need to subsidize them anymore. Taking care of your own affairs is better than anything else!" An Miaoyi's expression improved after hearing this. Although her private property outside the mansion was confiscated by Ye Mingsheng, as the mistress of the Fengwu Army, An Miaoyi, the mistress of the Ye Mansion, will not be affected in any way in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses!

After all, Ye Mingsheng did not block all the roads, and continued to let her take charge of various powers in the mansion. For An Miaoyi herself, at most, the expenses for welcoming and seeing off guests in the future would no longer be as much as before······························
Without her own private business support, what worries An Miaoyi the most is that she will not be able to continue to subsidize her parents' home. After all, as the mistress of the Ye Mansion, no one will say anything if she uses the mansion's money for her food, clothing and other expenses!
But if you use the money from the Ye Mansion to subsidize your mother's family, things will be a different matter. If it's a few hundred taels of silver, it's still okay. But if it's a small amount, people will not take it seriously for your sake, An Miaoyi!
But there are hundreds of people in the An family, and moving to Yijing will cost a lot of money. It will cost at least several thousand taels of silver, and at most tens of thousands of taels of silver!

If An Miaoyi's private property had not been confiscated by Ye Mingsheng, she could naturally provide a guarantee for her natal family. However, as her private property has now been confiscated by Ye Mingsheng, if she wants to provide a guarantee for her natal family again, she needs to use the money in the mansion!
However, it is obviously inappropriate to spend such a large amount of money. Once An Miaoyi does this, there will definitely be dissatisfaction in the mansion, so An Miaoyi also feels torn!
Ye Mingsheng obviously knew what An Miaoyi was worried about, so he solved the problem for An Miaoyi. This way, An Miaoyi's grievance about having her property confiscated was also alleviated. He said softly:
"Thank you for your consideration, my husband!"

Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
“This is the first time that we are husband and wife, and I hope it will be the last time. I don’t want to be with you to the point where we will never see each other again…”

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, An Miaoyi's heart trembled and she whispered:
"I will definitely learn from this lesson and won't make such a mistake again!"

Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
"Now that things have come to this, the rest has nothing to do with you. Just take care of your family affairs from now on!"

"Yes! I understand!"

After saying that, An Miaoyi couldn't help but think about the case again. From what her husband said, it seemed that her punishment was over at this point, but the punishment for others was not over yet?
Thinking of this, two names suddenly emerged in An Miaoyi's mind. Then she realized something and a trace of worry emerged in her heart. She hesitated whether to say anything to Ye Mingsheng!
But when she thought of Ye Mingsheng's warning to her, An Miaoyi understood that even if she spoke up for them now, she probably wouldn't be able to save them. Instead, it might make their situation worse. At this time, they could only wish for the best!

Understanding this, An Miaoyi gave up the idea of ​​pleading for them. She lay quietly beside Ye Mingsheng and covered him with a blanket.

Ye Mingsheng's light snoring sounded beside her ears. Although her body was equally tired, An Miaoyi had no intention of sleeping. She knew that she had really suffered a big setback this time and suffered heavy losses...
An Miaoyi did not feel any hatred towards Ye Mingsheng. After all, Ye Mingsheng was her lifelong support. Without Ye Mingsheng, she would not even have the honor she has now!

However, An Miaoyi felt so angry when she thought of the Murong family. Although she didn't have any evidence in her hand, based on her understanding of the Murong family, An Miaoyi had already determined that this was a self-torture trick directed and acted by them!

Thinking about how this self-torture had harmed her into this state, An Miaoyi was very angry. Just when she secretly made up her mind that she would get revenge sooner or later!
An Miaoyi suddenly realized something. Her husband had just said that the people who assassinated Murong Zhengshan were not sent by her, and she had no collusion with the Zhennan Army!

Since my husband can find out so much about me, is it possible that he can also find out the schemes of the Murong family?
When An Miaoyi thought of this, she felt a little more expectant. After all, if the matter was really investigated thoroughly and the Coordination Office and the Internal Security Bureau got hold of the evidence!

Then the crimes of the Murong family are much more serious than mine. Apart from interfering in politics, at most I have the intention to kill Murong Zhengshan!
However, Murong Qingwu not only interfered in the government affairs like himself, but also deliberately framed himself. If he didn't kill several people from the Murong family once the facts were verified, it would be unfair to the Murong family for being so bold...

The next day, early in the morning, Yijing Jushengyuan Inn
Zhu Chen, the Jiangnan Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, had just gotten up and washed up, and had not had time to eat breakfast, when he heard his subordinates report that Song Weikai wanted to see him.

Zhu Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this. Song Weikai had come to visit him a few days ago. In addition to testing Jiangnan's bottom line, his words also implied that he wanted Jiangnan and Sichuan to join forces and everyone would follow each other.

Zhu Chen, who had already decided to actively move closer to the Fengwu Army, sneered and looked down on it. He and Song Weikai were completely different!
Song Weikai’s surname is Song and he is Song Weijie’s younger brother. Sichuan and Shu belong to their Song family, so Song Weikai is naturally very concerned about the affairs of his family!
But I, Zhu Chen, am different from you. My surname is not Lu. Why should I care so much about the Lu family’s affairs?

Moreover, the general situation in the world is now determined. The Lu family is still unable to sustain itself in Jiangnan. As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and good birds choose trees to rest. Therefore, it is obvious that joining the Fengwu Army is a more promising thing!

After getting the promise he wanted from the Fengwu Army, Zhu Chen has completely sided with the Fengwu Army. Not only did he sell out Lu Jianchao's bottom line, he also planned to assist the Fengwu Army in taking over southern Beijing!

In this situation, facing Song Weijie's proposal, Zhu Chen pretended to be interested on the surface, but in fact he had already betrayed Song Weikai to the Fengwu Army··························
Seeing Song Weikai coming again at this moment, Zhu Chen hesitated for a moment and asked his subordinates to bring Song Weikai over.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Song Weikai went straight to the point, asking Zhu Chen eagerly:
"Master Zhu, how is the negotiation between your department and the Fengwu Army going?"

Facing Song Weikai's question, Zhu Chen hesitated for a moment and then spoke vaguely:

"The talks are going well and progress is being made!"

Seeing that Zhu Chen was unwilling to reveal too much, Song Weikai continued:
"Master Zhu, now is the critical moment of the negotiation. You must hold on and not be frightened by the pressure from the Fengwu Army. Your Governor Lu is still waiting for good news from you!"

"You are dissatisfied with what I said. This time my elder brother will be the King of Shu. We Sichuan and Shu are in front to support you. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"We in Sichuan and Shu are far behind you in Jiangnan in terms of wealth. My elder brother even dared to ask for a hereditary King of Shu who would rule this land forever. Your Governor Lu only wants a Duke. Isn't that giving too much face to Marshal Ye?"

"In my opinion, with the prosperity of Jiangnan, it would not be too much to ask for a duke, or even a hereditary king of Wu or a king of Yue to rule this land forever!"

“Sir Zhu, you must keep calm at this time. Your Governor Lu has always been very generous. If you do a good job for him this time, I believe that if Governor Lu is happy, he will definitely reward you generously. Sir Zhu, this is a very rare opportunity…”
