Chapter 40: Compromise
"Good! I'll give you face! Torture Hall, I can not burn it! But Ye Xiaotian must die! Zhang Yuhan glared at Junting with red eyes and said, "This is my biggest concession!" Yu Jianzhou, don't force me to fight to the death! ”
Yu Junting frowned slightly, she was also very annoyed in her heart that Ye Xiaotian who didn't know the height of the sky, and she really wanted to chop him up and feed him to the dog to relieve her hatred. However, for Ye Xiaotian's bold behavior, she has an inexplicable appreciation and good impression.
Yu Junting is not a peaceful person in her bones, otherwise she would not be a daughter, but she is ambitious to replace the Zhang family and make the Yu family the first Tusi family in Tongren. Therefore, for Ye Xiaotian's stupid behavior of daring to challenge the five powerful people with his humble strength, Yu Junting actually felt a little sympathetic, and even ...... Admiration!
With her own strength, she challenged a powerful opponent and achieved a goal that was impossible in everyone's eyes, ...... Ye Xiaotian's body, she seemed to see her own shadow. This ambivalent mentality made her feel very uncomfortable.
Yu Junting's slight distraction made Zhang Yuhan even more dissatisfied, and shouted: "Yu Jianzhou, what are you going to say?" ”
Yu Junting restrained his chaotic thoughts and replied slowly: "Ye Xiaotian can't die!" At least...... Can't die now! ”
Father Xiang asked, "What does Yu Jianzhou mean by this?" Do you want to protect Ye Xiaotian? ”
Yu Junting said: "Ye Xiaotian has already violated the king's law and reported to the capital, and he will inevitably die." He is an official of the imperial court, why not kill him with the sword of the imperial court? A person who should have died, if you follow Ye Xiaotian's lawlessness and behead him, Ye Xiaotian is a rogue official after all, what will the court think if he knows about it? If your own children can beat yourself, others can't do it. Do you think that if Ye Xiaotian is lynched by you, will the emperor who has just been in power think that this is a great offense to him? ”
Father Wu sneered: "So what? Could it be that the emperor would brazenly raise troops for the sake of Ye Xiaotian? ”
Yu Junting said: "Although the emperor will not raise troops to fight for this, it makes the emperor unhappy. It's not a good thing for us after all. ”
Zhang Yuhan said: "I don't care! ”
Yu Junting said coldly: "I care!" ”
Zhang Yuhan raised the torch in his hand again, and said in a deep voice: "Then we don't have to talk?" ”
Yu Junting also raised his hand, signaled the archers to prepare, and said with a sneer: "You try!" ”
Dai Chonghua hurriedly came forward to play a round and said: "Zhang Tushe, you have lost your beloved son, and the grief of your mood is very understandable. But you might as well think about it, if you really kill Ye Xiaotian on the spot, will it be of any benefit to the Zhang family? Will the emperor think that the Tusi of Tongren Mansion is too blind to the imperial court? Even if the imperial court does not raise troops because of this, punishment is indispensable. Detain Ye Xiaotian for the time being. Appeal to the court again, are you still afraid that he will not die? It's just a matter of dying early and dying late, so why cling to it? ”
Children are important, but the interests of the family are still above the children, and even above their own personal life and death, which is a concept that people in the big family at that time generally believed. Dai Chonghua started from the interests of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yuhan was shaken when he heard it.
He suddenly thought that Yu Junting was supported by the Tongren Tusi and already had the strength to surpass the Zhang family. If the emperor is not happy at this time, and the Yu family takes the opportunity to operate again, it is difficult to say that the emperor will not push the boat down the river and belittle the Zhang family. Keeping the family on top, if that happens, it will be a heavy blow to the Zhang family.
Yu Junting actually knew that if Zhang Yuhan was allowed to burn the torture hall. killed Ye Xiaotian, and she fanned the flames behind her back, causing the dissatisfaction of the Son of Heaven. The Yu family can be on the throne logically. However, there are many disadvantages to doing so, and the trade-off between the two may not necessarily be beneficial.
First of all, allowing Zhang Tushe to do this is to severely attack her prestige. She just used the "forced palace" to severely damage the prestige of the Zhang family in one fell swoop, and many Tusi who were not attached to the Yu family were a little suspicious, but they mistakenly thought that the silence of others was to take refuge in the Yu family.
At this time, a local house of the Zhang family with no real power jumped out, and she was able to ignore her storage, burn the torture hall, kill the magistrate, and she was helpless. So, what will those wavering, drifting toasts think? Will they think that the strength of the Zhang family is still there, she Yu Junting is a girl after all, her courage is insufficient, and her strength is limited, so she can't help the Zhang family at all?
On the contrary, it can further enhance her prestige in the hearts of Tongren Tusi, and she can convince the five powerful people to obediently follow their instructions, and they are all powerful people of the Zhang family, which is an excellent opportunity to deter people.
At the same time, she already has a detailed plan to further attack the Zhang family, in this case, there is really no need for her to risk changing her plan and taking advantage of this sudden opportunity to directly ascend to the position. As soon as Tang Gaozong died, someone instigated Wu Zetian to ascend the throne, but Wu Zetian always maintained the status of the queen mother until he killed many opponents of the Li family one by one, and then he became the emperor. She has the same patience.
Of course, there is also her good impression of Ye Xiaotian's "persistence and dedication" in her heart, but even she didn't realize this.

Dai Chonghua is a very good lobbyist, he successfully persuaded the donkey-like Ye Xiaotian to agree to mediate, but now he actually hit the nail on the head and persuaded the mad bull-like Zhang Yuhan.
Dai Chonghua stirred his lips and tongue and continued: "Ye Xiaotian violated the law, and he was imprisoned for the time being, so that he could live a little longer and wait for death in fear, wouldn't it be a punishment?" ”
Zhang Yu was cold, thought about it, and slowly replied: "Okay!" However, the ...... to which the Torture Hall belongs"
Dai Chonghua frowned and said, "Zhang Tushe, you don't really want to kill all the people in the torture hall, right?" In that case, the movement is too big! ”
Zhang Yuhan insisted: "The torture hall belongs, as long as you don't participate in harming my son, you can let them go!" But Ye Xiaotian's cronies and accomplices must be executed together! ”
Dai Chonghua looked at Yu Junting with some embarrassment, Yu Junting didn't want to force them too hard, thought for a while, and said, "Yes!" ”
Zhang Yuhan exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, threw the torch in his hand to the ground, and said, "Okay! Now Ye Xiaotian is still cowering in the lobby, and I want to see him arrested and put in prison with my own eyes. ”
Yu Junting stared at him and said, "Zhang Tushe, this Tongren Mansion prison is your home at all, if Ye Xiaotian is imprisoned there, whether he wants to die or live is not a matter of your words?" What's the point of the official coming forward today? ”
Zhang Yuhan said angrily: "If you don't put him in prison, where do you want to put him in?" Ha! Then I will say that the things of today will be your command. Now the fox's tail is really exposed. ”
Seeing that the two were about to turn their faces again, Dai Chonghua hurriedly jumped out and continued to talk to the mud: "Two adults, two adults, please calm your anger, haven't you already talked about it, why are you arguing again." It's better to do this, since Yu Jianzhou is not at ease with the government prison, how about putting Ye Xiaotian in my Dai family water prison, Dai is responsible for taking care of it, and no accidents will happen. ”
Father Xiang smiled and said: "The surname is Dai, who doesn't know that you are all the way with Yu Jianzhou." Is there a difference between locking Ye Xiaotian in your house and handing it over to Jianzhou? ”
Dai Chonghua said angrily: "Then what good ideas do you have?" ”
Yu Junting's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Lock him up in the Great Compassion Temple, and let the seven of us jointly send troops to take care of it, how about it?" ”
Father Xiang and Zhang Yuhan discussed it a little and finally agreed.

Mao Wenzhi lay on the window and secretly looked at it, the sound was not very loud when the two sides discussed, he couldn't hear it clearly, but after the two sides discussed. He saw that the subordinates of the five powerful men had already dragged their dead and wounded companions aside, and the soldiers brought by Junting separated them from the hall of the torture hall.
Mao Wenzhi immediately turned his head and shouted excitedly: "Big brother, they have been choking on both sides for a long time. It's a pull. I saw that the officers and soldiers had already protected the lobby, but I really didn't see it, the one surnamed Yu, the old lady's family is quite capable! ”
The flower experience was overjoyed and pounced. Said: "Really retreated? Really retreated! We're saved! ”
Mao Wenzhi moved to the side, made room for him, and said, "It's not in vain. See for yourself. ”
Hua Cheng cautiously poked his head out and glanced out, and immediately shouted with joy: "It's really retreated, my lord, it's really retreated." ”
At this time, Dai Tongzhi's voice came from the position of the gate: "Ye Tuiguan, Yu Jianzhou has arrived, you come out to speak!" ”
Ye Xiaotian was just about to order his subordinates to move away from the public case, but Li Qiuchi stopped him and stepped forward to ask, "This adult outside the door, I don't know how Yu Jianzhou plans to deal with us and others?" ”
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and it was still Dai Chonghua's voice: "Ye Tuiguan was cut before he played, he violated the law of the country and will be punished." Those who listen to their chaotic actions must also be guarded together, and the case will be reported to the court and judged by the Son of Heaven! Other irrelevant people, Zhang Tushe and others have promised not to pursue them again. ”
Li Qiuchi's face suddenly changed, and Hua Shishi, Jiang Shishi, Governor Zhang and others were greatly relieved. Li Qiuchi said nervously to Ye Xiaotian: "Dong Weng, if he wants to arrest us and put us in prison, this time he will definitely be more auspicious and less lucky, and the students have seen a lot of black hands in prison." ”
Dai Chonghua's voice sounded outside the door at the right time: "You don't need to worry too much, Lord Jianzhou has decided that the criminals will not be imprisoned, and all of them will be detained in the Great Compassion Temple, and they will be guarded by the five Tushe, Yu Jianzhou and the official will be jointly guarded, and no one will do anything without permission." ”
Li Qiuchi was very suspicious, still unconvinced, and looked at Ye Xiaotian nervously: "Dong Weng, what do you think?" ”
Ye Xiaotian looked at Hua Shi and the others, he also knew that since he had done such a thing today, it would be impossible to be good, and as soon as Dai Tongzhi's words came out, Hua Shi, Jiang Shi and a group of silk officials were bound to resist with all their might, and his people alone would not be able to guard the lobby, and at the moment they could only accept Yu Junting's arrangement first.
Ye Xiaotian said: "This is the best arrangement at the moment, promise them, move out of the public case, and open the door." ”
Li Qiuchi still had to be persuaded again, Hua Cheng and the others had already cheered and rushed over to clean up the debris blocked in front of the gate.
One of Ye Xiaotian's seedling guards came to his side and whispered: "The identity of the adult is extremely noble, you must not be imprisoned and in danger, as soon as the gate is opened, the subordinates will protect the adult and rush out, Lao Jiu has already returned to the mansion to report the news, presumably the horses have been prepared." ”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No, now there are not only those five powerful people outside, but also the soldiers in Yu Jianzhou, it is impossible to rush out." For now, we can only act on the opportunity, as long as we can not be executed immediately, we still have a chance. ”
Ye Xiaotian said, thinking secretly in his heart: "If it really reaches the point of death, I can't say that my identity as a Gu Sect Venerable can't be kept secret, although they are not the Miao family, and they may not care about me, the Venerable, they should always be afraid." ”
The door has been knocked out of shape, Hua Li and others moved away the sundries, and it took a lot of effort to push the door open, a silk Li took the lead in trembling and walked out, seeing that the soldiers stood solemnly and did not move him, this was relieved, and Hua Cheng and others saw it and went out with confidence.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian pushed away the guard in front of him and strode out. Li Qiuchi hesitantly walked at the back, and when he passed a corpse on the ground, Li Qiuchi suddenly had an idea, and saw that the people in front of him were going out one after another, and no one noticed him, so he quickly touched a handful of blood from the corpse, smeared it on his face, and lay on the ground.
