Chapter 752: A heroic act of self-sacrifice, coercion and inducement!
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Ye Sanwu also remembered the filial piety that Ye Zhanpeng had given him during this period of time. After hesitating for a while, he said:
"Let him wait for me in the side room..."

"Yes!"

After an incense stick of time, Ye Sanwu, who had tidied his clothes, walked into the side room. Seeing him appear, Ye Zhanpeng immediately stood up with a wooden box in his hand and said to Ye Sanwu respectfully:
"Zhan Peng pays respect to the clan elders!"

Facing Ye Zhanpeng's greeting, Ye Sanwu didn't even look at him. He sat in the main seat and drank the teacup. Feeling Ye Sanwu's arrogance, Ye Zhanpeng's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible anger, but he still picked up the wooden box and said with a smile:
"Zhan Peng recently obtained a priceless treasure and came to present it to the elders!"

Listening to Ye Zhanpeng's words, Ye Sanwu immediately focused his eyes on the wooden box in his hand. Seeing this, Ye Zhanpeng continued:
"Elder, as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. Recently, there is a thief roaming around in Dongning. Do you think we should close the door?"

Ye Sanwu nodded slightly when he heard that, and Ye Zhanpeng immediately closed the door. When they were the only two left in the room, Ye Zhanpeng immediately opened the wooden box, only to see an exquisitely carved jade Guanyin inside.

"Elder, this Jade Guanyin is made of the finest jade produced in Liangshan. It is translucent and round. In order to protect it from dust, our company specially invited Li Hongxiang, the most famous jade carving master in Liaoyang, to carve it. This kind of appearance and carving skills would cost at least 1,500 taels of silver if it were put on the market!"

“The old lady is a Buddhist. If you, the clan elder, can give her this Jade Guanyin, I believe the commander-in-chief will look at you differently…”

Ye Sanwu, who originally had no feelings towards the Jade Guanyin, immediately brightened up when he heard the last sentence. Recently, because of some corrupt officials in the Ye clan, the Marshal was very disappointed with the clan, and the old lady Ye Cui was the biggest supporter of their clan in the Fengwu Army.

If he could please the old lady, he believed he could change the Marshal's impression of the clan. In this way, he, Ye Sanwu, would have made a great contribution!

Although he wanted this Jade Guanyin very much, Ye Sanwu was greedy for money and lustful, but he was not a fool. He knew very well that now that Ye Zhanpeng gave him this priceless Jade Guanyin, he must be asking him to do something for him and let him, as an elder of the Ye family, greet that official.

This kind of thing was nothing in the past, and he could have made some money from it, but now the Marshal was about to set rules for the clan, and if he helped Ye Zhanpeng to break the rules at this time, he would be right in the Marshal's sight, and the Marshal might even use him as an example to scare the monkeys!

So the thing cannot be done, but the jade Buddha must be taken. Thinking of this, Ye Sanwu said with some contempt:

"What do you want me to say hello to again, Master?"

"Grandson Zhan Peng, how can you think that giving me a jade Guanyin statue can make me do things for you?"

After saying this, Ye Sanwu glanced at the Jade Guanyin in the wooden box again, his cloudy old eyes showing a bit of greed. The next second he said very reservedly:

“Just leave the things here. It’s considered that you are filial…”

Seeing that the old man Ye Sanwu wanted to take the things but was not going to do anything for him, Ye Zhanpeng was almost unable to suppress his anger, but he did not want to completely fall out with this old man, so he continued to smile and said:
"Elder, Zhan Peng is begging you! Please have pity on me!"

Listening to Ye Zhanpeng's words, Ye Sanwu snorted coldly and said:
"I'm giving you face by accepting your things!"

"How much money have you made in the past few years using my name? Now I want you to be filial, but you are still complaining here. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"Do you want me to punish you, my unfilial descendant, with family discipline?"

Seeing that the old bastard Ye Sanwu was determined to eat his food and not do anything for him, Ye Zhanpeng put away the smile on his face, took a deep breath, and then, under Ye Sanwu's astonished gaze, punched him in the face.

Faced with this powerful punch, the old and frail Ye Sanwu naturally had no choice but to dodge it. He was hit hard in the face and Ye Sanwu immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Ye Sanwu never thought that Ye Zhanpeng would actually hit him. Is he so bold?
Although he was beaten, Ye Sanwu wanted to curse loudly in pain. He also wanted to ask for help, but before he could finish his curse, Ye Zhanpeng took out a sharp dagger from his arms, put it on his neck and said viciously:
"You old man, you are so shameless. Who do you think you are?"

“If the Marshal hadn’t promoted you, you, an old bastard, would still be digging manure and farming in the countryside. Now you’re showing off…”

Feeling the coldness of the dagger and the imminent death, Ye Sanwu wanted to kill Ye Zhanpeng, but at the moment he was also afraid that Ye Zhanpeng would get excited and stab him with a white knife, so he forced a smile on his face and said:
"Zhanpeng, let's talk slowly. Uncle just said something wrong, don't take it to heart!"

Seeing that Ye Sanwu was frightened, Ye Zhanpeng sneered and took out a piece of paper from his arms, placed it in front of Ye Sanwu and said coldly:
"Seventh Uncle, I was only planning to give you one gift today, but since you are so disrespectful, I will have no choice but to give you this gift. Please take a good look at it!"

Listening to Ye Zhanpeng's words, Ye Sanwu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the paper and began to read it.

After only one look at Ye Sanwu, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily to Ye Zhanpeng:

"Ye Zhanpeng, what do you want to do?"

Facing Ye Sanwu's questioning, Ye Zhanpeng said calmly:
"It's nothing. I'm just afraid that you, Seventh Uncle, are too old and have a bad memory, so I wrote it down for you so that you can recall what you have done in the past few years to bully men and women and harm others..."

"Seventh Uncle, take a good look at it now and remember it carefully!"

Faced with Ye Zhanpeng's threat, Ye Sanwu had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and carefully look at the scandals that Ye Zhanpeng had recorded for him!

After a cup of tea, Ye Zhanpeng looked through all the records of Ye Sanwu and said coldly:

"Seventh Uncle, have you remembered everything? If the Marshal knew about these things, how many heads do you think would be chopped off by him?"

Ye Sanwu said angrily after hearing this:
"You are so cruel! Tell me what do you want from me?"

Seeing Ye Sanwu say this, Ye Zhanpeng whispered in his ear. After hearing what Ye Zhanpeng said, Ye Sanwu immediately said:
"Can we do it later? The Marshal is cleaning up the clan right now. If you do this now, you'll easily run into trouble!"

In response to Ye Sanwu's request, Ye Zhanpeng said coldly:
"Seventh Uncle must complete it within five days. If you fail to do so, don't blame me for killing my relatives for the sake of justice!" Seeing Ye Zhanpeng's firm attitude, Ye Sanwu sighed and said:

"Okay! I'll do this for you!"

Hearing that Ye Sanwu had compromised, Ye Zhanpeng put down the dagger that had been on his neck, and continued to speak very calmly:

“I’ll leave this list with you, Seventh Uncle. Take a good look at it when you’re free, so that you don’t forget it later…”

"Also, I know that you, Seventh Uncle, are the most treacherous and cunning person, so I have to remind you in advance that I have records and evidence of all the things you have done. If you really play any tricks, even if you hire someone to kill me, the evidence and this letter will be placed on the Marshal's desk, so Seventh Uncle, don't make mistakes!"

After hearing this, Ye Sanwu's expression changed slightly. He had just decided to entrust Xushe to Ye Zhanpeng now, and then send someone to kill Ye Zhanpeng and destroy the list at night. Otherwise, if Ye Zhanpeng had the list, wouldn't he have to work for him for the rest of his life?

However, he did not expect that his thoughts had been guessed by Ye Zhanpeng, but he reacted quickly and said with a forced smile:

"Zhan Peng, why would Seventh Uncle do this? Don't worry, I will do your job well for you!"

Hearing Ye Sanwu say this, Ye Zhanpeng smiled and bowed to him:

"In that case, I'll leave it to Seventh Uncle!"

After he finished speaking, Ye Zhanpeng looked at Ye Sanwu deeply, then turned around and left without looking back. After leaving Ye Sanwu's mansion, Ye Zhanpeng did not go home, nor did he return to the Dadongsheng Company, but came to a very secluded place in Dongning City.

He knocked on the door in a rhythm of two light knocks and one heavy knock. The door immediately opened a crack. After seeing that the person outside was Ye Zhanpeng, the door opened completely. Seeing that there was no one around the street, Ye Zhanpeng immediately entered the room...
Looking at Master Jiang in front of him, Ye Zhanpeng asked in a deep voice:

"Has everything been settled?"

Master Jiang nodded and said:
"In the house!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhanpeng immediately walked into the house, only to see a big pit in the house, and in the pit were six people including Liu Zheng. Looking at the six people who had no breath at all, Ye Zhanpeng closed his eyes in pain!
He knew he was sorry for these brothers.

He doesn't want to do this either!

But there is no way, really no way!
The higher-ups have already started the investigation, and if even one person is caught, it will all be over!

At this moment, Ye Zhanpeng felt deeply powerless. Just a few words made the interest group he had worked so hard to build and was proud of become surrounded by enemies!

But this also aroused his desire for power! He, Ye Zhanpeng, also wanted to dominate his own destiny!
With another sigh, Ye Zhanpeng took out three banknotes from his arms and handed them to Master Jiang, saying:
"Fill the hole and go back to your hometown to hide. If I hadn't caught you, I wouldn't have sent anyone to look for you. If I hadn't sent anyone to look for you, you would have just hidden yourself in the countryside and lived your whole life as a rich man!"

“Brother Peng…”

Hearing Ye Zhanpeng say this, Master Jiang wanted to say something else, but Ye Zhanpeng patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Be obedient! Stop arguing with me!"

Dongning, Governor's Office

At one o'clock in the evening, Ye Mingsheng closed his eyes and rested his head on Pei Zhixiu's jade back. At this moment, his face was full of fatigue, while Pei Zhixiu gently massaged the acupoints on Ye Mingsheng's head.

Originally, as Ye Mingsheng had dealt with issues such as casualties and pensions from the previous battle of Ji, Yu, Yun and Bing, his workload had been reduced a lot. However, as he has been busy with the Yun and Bing counterattack recently, some things have happened in Gongdu, and there are also some messes to deal with within the Fengwu Army, so Ye Mingsheng's workload has increased again.

Because there were many urgent documents to deal with, Ye Mingsheng stayed up all night for two consecutive days. He had originally planned to stay up all night tonight to finish dealing with all the documents on hand, but now Ye Mingsheng's body can't take it anymore and his headache has recurred.

Ye Cheng saw that Ye Mingsheng was not feeling well, so he advised Ye Mingsheng to take a night's rest. It would not be too late to deal with it tomorrow. However, because the documents on hand were all very important, Ye Mingsheng decided to grit his teeth and persevere.

When he saw Ye Cheng, he called Pei Zhixiu over. After Pei Zhixiu took Ye Mingsheng's pulse, he took Ye Mingsheng back to his yard.

With Pei Zhixiu's massage, Ye Mingsheng could clearly feel that his headache was greatly relieved, and his whole spirit was also relieved a lot. This also made Ye Mingsheng think of the documents he had not yet dealt with. However, Pei Zhixiu saw his thoughts at a glance and said softly:

"My husband, you are not allowed to go anywhere tonight. Just have a good sleep here with me!"

"Husband, you are not young anymore. You must take good care of yourself and stop staying up late!"

"If you don't take care of your body, it will be more than just a headache."

After listening to Pei Zhixiu's words, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment but still nodded. He didn't want to experience the splitting headache again.

Continuing to lie on his own pillow and smelling the faint fragrance of Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng's recently agitated heart gradually calmed down····························

After a moment, Ye Mingsheng seemed to sense something, opened his eyes and looked at Pei Zhixiu and asked seriously:
"Jisu, do you have anything you want to tell me?"
