What does it have to do with them if I live a good life?
They became jealous and ran to the county government to sue me for molesting them. I even disguised myself as a refugee woman from outside the city. Isn't this nonsense?
Ye Feiyun laughed coldly and said, "Okay, you two keep pretending.
Okay, then let me tell you, if you falsely accuse an official of the imperial court and slander the current emperor's son-in-law, what will be the consequences? "
Ye Feiyun is now named Duke of Protector of the Country by Mu Tianhao, and also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of the Ministry of War.
These two things combined are enough to make these two women suffer.
Upon hearing this, the two women felt a chill in their hearts, but they refused to speak and kept hesitating.
Ye Feiyun sneered and continued, "I tell you, according to the laws of Dagan, falsely accusing an imperial official will result in at least forty lashes of the cane and two years of hard labor.
The person you two falsely accused was the current emperor's consort. Forty-eight strokes of the cane wouldn't be enough. Fifty strokes would be enough."
Ye Feiyun stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of the two of them casually.
He then added, “Also, you two disguised yourself as common women and deceived your superiors, which is equivalent to deceiving the emperor.
I am now the future husband of the Sixth Princess Mu Yanyun.
Since you have made such false accusations, you should be exiled to the frontier to fight against the Xiongnu. Maybe you will be captured and taken to the Xiongnu border and become their concubine.
I heard that life in the frontier is very happy, with endless prairies and enough food and drink every day.
It’s just that…” Ye Feiyun’s eyes rolled and he said sinisterly, “It’s just that they seem to like one woman to serve two, three, or even four husbands.
I heard that one wife will marry several husbands anyway, and every day... you will be very comfortable by then." Ye Feiyun said lightly.
Hearing Ye Feiyun's words, the two girls were completely frightened. Their pretty little faces turned pale and their eyes showed extreme fear.
In fact, they had heard a lot about the border without Ye Feiyun telling them.
That group of border Huns who killed and robbed people were extremely brutal.
Every year, countless women were abducted from the borders of the Dagan Dynasty, living lives worse than death and worse than pigs and dogs.
Not only did she have to work in the fields, do laundry, cook, and take care of the whole family during the day, but she also had to have fun with the Hun men at night. I even heard that sometimes there was more than one.
Just thinking about this scene made the two of them tremble with fear, their skin covered with goose bumps, cold sweats on their backs, and their clothes were soaked.
Wang Po, who was standing nearby, saw the situation clearly at this moment.
Right now, Ye Feiyun is the future son-in-law of the Dagan royal family. Even if Concubine Liu's status is noble, can she be nobler than Mu Tianhao?
With an idea in mind, Wang Po quickly walked over to the two women, and as if to smooth things over, she urged and scolded, "Are you two courting death? Falsely accusing our great prince consort of the Great Gan Dynasty, how dare you? Tell us who ordered you to do this?"
Wang Po was extremely anxious. If this matter became a big deal and involved so many people, maybe even her Yihongyuan would be implicated.
When Ye Feiyun heard Wang Po's words, he couldn't help but look at Wang Po with a hint of approval.
Although this madam usually looks silly, she is quite sensible at critical moments and knows how to stand on her side.
Ye Feiyun was just thinking that if this Wang Po couldn't distinguish the importance of things and stood seriously beside Concubine Liu, he would definitely give them a good beating once this matter was over.
But unexpectedly, Wang Po's behavior made Ye Feiyun quite satisfied.
Wang Po felt Ye Feiyun's gaze, and immediately twisted her chubby face and forced a smile as a response to Ye Feiyun.
The two women hesitated and trembled, their faces pale with fear, but they said nothing, as if they were thinking about something.
At this moment, Concubine Liu, who had been silently watching everything from behind, suddenly spoke up: "What injustice have you two suffered? You must explain yourself, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death."
It sounded like these words were asking the two women to confess quickly, but why did the implicit meaning of these words seem to be wanting them to shut up?
Ye Feiyun turned his head and looked at Concubine Liu with an unfriendly look, muttering to himself that he had given her face. She had just given him a lot of trouble, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
However, Concubine Liu's words had already been spoken and clearly heard by the two women.
The two women shrank their necks and swallowed back the words they were about to say.
"I don't know, I don't know." The two women said as if they were crying.
Ye Feiyun took a deep breath.
There is no physical evidence, only witnesses. If these two women don't confess, I will never know the truth of the matter.
Besides, he has a clean record. How could he not know what he has done and what he has not done?
Ye Feiyun would never be satisfied if it was just to clear his name.
He wants to find out who is behind this.
Looking at the current situation, there is no need to think too much, it must be something about Concubine Liu.
In order to bring down the Liu family, Ye Feiyun had previously visited Ye Dashan. Ye Dashan told him to collect as much evidence of the Liu family's crimes as possible during this period. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The corruption of Liu Guan and Liu Bin, father and son, has long been established and the evidence is conclusive.
But the matter of Concubine Liu is not easy to handle. First, she is deeply favored by Mu Tianhao.
Second, he has cultivated a considerable number of forces in the court.
If Ye Feiyun wanted to bring down Concubine Liu for no reason, he must have first-hand and conclusive evidence.
Ye Feiyun's eyes were rolling around, and he was secretly thinking about how to solve the problem.
Wang Dafang, who had been watching from a distance, noticed something. Her pretty face darkened slightly, her expression became solemn and as pale as water, and she strode forward.
"I'm telling you, I'm Wang Dafang, one of the Four Famous Constables of Beijing.
I advise you to speak out as soon as you know.”
The two women raised their heads from the ground with difficulty, and looked blankly at the woman in front of them who had a beautiful appearance, an extraordinary figure, and spoke with majesty.
"If you don't tell me, you know that according to the laws of the Great Gan Dynasty, not only will you be punished with fifty lashes, which is the minimum, but you will also be exiled to the frontier, or even worse, beheaded at the Meridian Gate."
What Wang Dafang said was true. Falsely accusing an imperial official was a serious enough crime.
The person who sued Ye Feiyun was none other than the future son-in-law of the Dagan Dynasty and Mu Yanyun's fiancé.
Let’s not talk about it anymore. Ye Feiyun has another identity, the son of Ye Dashan, the only son of the Minister of Revenue.
If this matter gets out, these two women will definitely be in trouble.
Wang Dafang was kind-hearted. Having handled various cases for many years, she could tell at a glance that the two women in front of her were obviously being coerced.
