Chapter 1141 Ye Tie’s Thoughts! (Part )

Seeing Ye Tie was so nervous about Xiao Cui, Zhao was a little jealous and said:
"Everyone in our mansion knows that you, my husband, dote on Xiao Cui. How dare I bully her? It's good enough if I'm not bullied by her..."

Hearing Zhao's sour words, Ye Tie hesitated for a moment, took out a silver note from his pocket, handed it to Zhao and said:
"Take this five hundred taels of silver as pocket money and buy whatever you like!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took it from Ye Tie's hand with a smile. Although she was Ye Tie's legal wife, she was not favored, so Ye Tie usually did not give her the family property to manage. He just gave her money regularly and let her be responsible for the family life.

After receiving the silver, Zhao shut up and stopped saying those sour words. Seeing this, Ye Tie sighed in his heart.

He married Zhao before he followed Ye Mingsheng to make his fortune and mingled with the bandits in Liaoyang. In fact, their union was an accident. Zhao was a village girl who was taken to the mountains by other bandits. Because she was quite pretty, the leader of that bandit gang wanted to marry her as his fifth concubine!
However, on the day of the bridal chamber, Guo Zhanshan led Ye Tie and others to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Guo Zhanshan won a great victory in that battle because Ye Tie performed outstandingly and killed the opponent's boss with his own hands. Therefore, Guo Zhanshan decided to give Zhao to Ye Tie.

From then on, Zhao followed Ye Tie. Later, Ye Cui arranged for Ye Tie to be the captain of Ye Mingsheng’s personal guards. Ye Tie then arranged Zhao to live in his own home in Yejia Village and left.

However, what Ye Tie did not expect was that one month after he left, Zhao found out that she was pregnant, and ten months later she gave birth to a son for him. Ye Tie's parents were very happy about this and named their grandson Ye Yaozu!
When Ye Tie followed Ye Mingsheng back to Liaoyang several years later, he looked down on Zhao, a country girl, because he had seen the world over the years. However, at the request of his parents, he officially married Zhao home!
Over the years, Ye Tie's official position became higher and higher, and there were more and more women around him. However, he was grateful that Zhao had taken care of his parents and given birth to his children. She was also law-abiding and never caused any trouble for him, so he never thought of changing his wife!
During this period, Ye Tie took a new concubine named Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui was young and beautiful and especially good at pleasing Ye Tie, so Ye Tie also liked her very much!

Although Xiao Cui is young, she is not a simple person. Relying on Ye Tie's favor, she is arrogant in the mansion and is very disrespectful to Zhao, the legal wife. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so the two women started to fight with each other. The open and secret struggles in the mansion gave Ye Tie a headache!
This time, Ye Tie was transferred to Liaoyang by Ye Mingsheng’s order. He was reluctant to leave Xiao Cui and thought of taking this little goblin with him. However, when he thought that his transfer to Liaoyang was a demotion and a punishment from Ye Mingsheng, it would have a bad influence if he took a woman with him...
Therefore, Ye Tie had to give up the idea of ​​taking Xiao Cui with him to take up the post this time, and instead thought about waiting for him to stay in Liaoyang for a while, and when the situation was not so tense, he would send someone to bring Xiao Cui to his side and keep her in his golden house!
Seeing the farewell pavilion five miles away from Yijing, Ye Tie also instructed Zhao;
"Just send him here and go home! Don't forget what I said, be filial to your parents and take good care of Yaozu and the others!"

"My dear husband, rest assured that I will take good care of the family! You should also ask the Marshal to come back as soon as possible! Your parents and children are waiting for you to come back!"

After bidding farewell to Zhao and other people who were seeing him off, Ye Tie led his troops at full speed towards Liaoyang in the east. In the evening, the group arrived at an inn.

After a simple meal at the inn, Ye Tie went to bed to rest. Although he was very tired and wanted to sleep, for some reason, as soon as Ye Tie closed his eyes, he could not help but think of the scene in the Marshal's study that day, and Ye Mingsheng's question seemed to ring in his ears.

“Do you know why Ye Baode held you hostage in the end?” When Ye Tie, who was kneeling on the floor of the study, heard Ye Mingsheng’s question, he felt a buzzing in his head. Before he could recover, the coldness in Ye Mingsheng’s eyes made his body shiver, and he even felt his hair stand on end...
At that time, Ye Tie had only one thought in his mind: his answer to this question would determine his fate!

If he gave the correct answer, he would most likely get away with it, and the Marshal would let him go after giving him a light punishment and a severe warning!

But if he answered wrongly, the Marshal might not kill him because of his loyalty and dedication over the years, but he would definitely dismiss him from his post and investigate him, and he would never have the chance to make a comeback in his life!

Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze at that time, Ye Tie wanted to pretend to be confused and say that he didn't know, trying to see if he could get away with it!

But just when he was about to say it, Ye Tie chose to trust his intuition and gave the answer that Ye Baode wanted to protect himself!
Ye Tie really didn't expect that Ye Baode would be so bold as to want to launch a rebellion. At that time, Ye Tie thought that Ye Baode was just using Defengxing Company to make some money, so he wanted to drag Ye Baode to Ye Mingsheng to surrender and seek a lighter sentence!
Then he would take the opportunity to plead for Ye Baode, to see if he could ask the Marshal to spare Ye Baode's life, or not let Ye Baode's family be implicated!

If Ye Tie had known at that time that Ye Baode wanted to rebel, he would never have gone to find Ye Baode. He would have directly led his troops to capture Ye Baode and get rid of this thief!

However, there is no if. When Ye Tie realized that Ye Baode wanted to rebel, it was too late. Ye Baode ordered his servants to control him and put him under house arrest in Qingfeng Mansion.

Just when Ye Tie was anxiously trying to figure out how to get away and inform Ye Mingsheng, Ye Kui and Wang Xuecheng came to Qingfeng Mansion with the spies from the Coordination Office and the soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion.

Seeing that the truth had been revealed and the situation was hopeless, Ye Baode set fire to Qingfeng Mansion and held himself hostage in front of Ye Kui, Wang Xuecheng and others!
Although Ye Baode's knife was on his neck at that time, Ye Tie could feel that Ye Baode did not want to kill him. After all, if he wanted to kill him, he could have done it earlier and there was no need to wait until now!

The reason why Ye Baode held him hostage was probably because he was grateful that he had wanted to help him and plead for him at that time, so he didn't want to implicate him and deliberately put on a show in front of everyone to let everyone know that he was not his accomplice and that he was being coerced by him!
