Ye Zexian's courtyard would definitely be in full swing.

Ye Jinsu left neither late nor early. Ye Shisui was already sitting there with a pale face. Ye Jinsu looked for a while and saw that the old lady hadn't come over yet. She found a small corner and casually sat down.

The Grand Master was being held in the courtyard, along with Mrs. Wang and her men.

In the past few days, the search had been almost done. There were dozens of people involved, and all of them were here.

Everyone felt threatened.

Ye Jinsu took a look at this scene and was shocked by the pile of accounts next to Ye Zizai. There was definitely no end to the checking of the accounts book by himself. He found a few trustworthy people and checked them night and day. Only then did he manage to check most of them.

There may have been some minor omissions, but there was no great mistake.

Ye Shisui didn't speak, so no one dared to speak. The atmosphere in the yard was heavy and depressing. Seeing Ye Zhang like this, the old woman was so scared that she started to tremble.

He was quite good at bluffing. Ye Jinsu sneered in her heart.

Turning his head slightly to the side, Ye Jinxiu said to Xiao Hong, "Let's watch carefully."

The seat she was sitting on was very far away from Ye Zizai, but it also had an advantage. They were able to see the happenings in the courtyard clearly, and their reactions and reactions were clear to see.

The old lady followed the Old Master. As she sat down, her gaze swept across Ye Jinsu. Her gaze was extremely sharp.

Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and avoided it.

Ye Zheng lowered his head and consulted the old man, then opened the account book that he had roughly checked earlier and swept his eyes over the old man coldly, "In these account books, I found that you have embezzled a total of one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver over the past fifteen years. Do you admit it?"

As these words were spoken, all the servants sucked in a breath of cold air.

Everyone knew that the Grand Master was greedy and had faked it in his account book. However, no one dared to think that he would actually covet so much silver. He was just a grandmaster in the residence!

With such a large number, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it!

The Grand Master was so frightened that he trembled. The account book had already been opened. What else could he say? He could only beg for mercy, "It's all my fault. I beg the Old Master to let me go."

Ye Zheng snorted. Let him go?

He had coveted so much silver, and now he still wanted to let him go?

Dream on!

Ye Zheng spoke again, "Take this money and buy the house in the capital, and also buy the manor."

"How audacious!"

Ye Shisui's shout frightened the Grand Master yet again. He was very satisfied with this reaction. This time, he was not only going to deal with him, but he was also going to ask him to spit out all 120,000 taels of silver. He had already checked and found that only he had bought the two mansions and a remote manor. It didn't cost him that much money.

There was still more than half of the money that had gone missing!

That was the most important thing to find out.

Seeing that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, Ye Mo could only ask, "Your two mansions and manors were all taken back by the Ye Residence. In addition, there are several tens of thousands of silver taels. What are you doing with them?"

There were no records on those account books, so Ye Mo could only guess that he had hidden them even more secretly.

It was a pity that he had sent people to his house, account office, and other places to investigate, but he could not find any more evidence.

The Grand Master was so frightened that he dared not raise his head or speak.

When Ye Zheng saw this, he knew that there must be something behind it. He must have been secretly hiding something. Anger rushed into him, and Ye Chong's face darkened even more. He slapped the table hard, "You dog slave!" If you say it properly today, we can still spare your life. If you don't say anything, then don't blame me for not caring about the feelings of a master and slave for so many years! "

Coercing him into doing so, Ye Hezheng was determined to find out what was going on from his mouth today.

The Grand Master was scared to death. His eyes drifted over to Ye Zheng, then to the old lady, then back to Ye Jinsu.

Ye Jinsu remained calm and collected, but she narrowed her eyes slightly. The Grand Master only glanced at it for a second before he did not dare to look again. He lay on the ground, trembling, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to.

He was scared to death, and his hand was covered in a sticky sweat. What Ye Jinsu asked him to say, if he said it, it would be a dead end. If he did not say it, Ye Shisui would kill him right now.

His teeth were chattering with nervousness.

Noticing that he didn't say anything, Ye Zheng was so angry that he didn't waste any more words with him. With a wave of his hands, someone came over with a torture instrument.

He had come prepared. If the Grand Master didn't confess, then there would be many torture instruments waiting for him!

The blood drained from the Grand Master's face.

"Please spare my life!" Please spare my life! " The Grand Master was so frightened that he fiercely kowtowed on the ground. The group of people even dragged him down to the punishment bench, scaring him so much that he could only blindly shout, "This servant will admit it!" All the servants admitted! I beg the old master to spare my life! "

The man with slightly white hair collapsed on the ground, crying out in fear.

Ye Jinxiu watched indifferently without saying a word.

Ye Shisui's eyebrows finally loosened. He waved his hand and waved them back.

"Speak!"

It took a long time before the Grand Master could get up from his kneeling position. He then said, "Master, please enlighten me. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to embezzle so much silver from the estate."

"This silver is not mine!"

Ye Shisui's face froze for a moment. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood what the Grand Master meant.

Ye Shisan's face turned pale. He jumped up from his seat and pointed at the Grand Master with trembling hands. "Who is it?"

There was actually someone ordering the Grand Master around?

Who was it?

Who else could it be?

The mansion originally had a small population, but fifteen years ago, the old lady was still living in the countryside. Other than Ye Jinsu's mother, the only other person who could make the Grand Master listen to his orders was the Xie Clan.

Ye Jinsu's mother had died a long time ago.

Wasn't it obvious who was left?

Those with a discerning eye could see that even Ye Shisui had a clue, but he just couldn't accept it.

How could this be the case?

It must be this dog slave who made it up!

The Grand Master was so angry that he lowered his head even deeper and whispered shakily, "Yes …"

"Yes …" "Yes, your husband …"

Before she could finish her sentence, the Ye family had already gone down the hall and kicked the Grand Master out of the way.

"Bullshit, you dog slave!" Who gave you the guts to slander your mistress! " Ye Shisui was truly annoyed. He kicked several times, as if discouraged.

Ye Jinsu sneered in her heart. She was still calling him 'Madam'.

Slightly turning her head, Xiao Hong's face was also filled with shock. Not only Xiao Hong, but the other servants in the yard were also shocked and quickly lowered their heads in fear. The Grand Master hadn't even said what had happened when Ye Zhenzi's temper had already flared up.

Ye Zheng was actually so protective of the Xie family.

Ye Shisui wasn't the only one with an unsightly expression on his face. The old man beside him also had a stern look on his face. He glared in Ye Jinsu's direction, but his eyes were not as surprised as Ye Shisui was.

Ye Jinshu drank his tea with satisfaction, not interrupting him at all.

She had never understood that the Old Master was a wise man in his life. He had single-handedly pulled the Ye family from a minor official to an important official in the imperial court. How could the son he gave birth to be so stupid?
