Several wealthy slaves from the Ye family were still sitting under a large bluestone to enjoy the cool air. Lai Rong, a Ye family slave in charge, said on the side: "The master passed a message and said that the master should enjoy the scenery in front of him. I don't want us slaves to get too close, otherwise it would be bad to disturb the master's elegance. Do you understand?"

"Brother Lai, why did Lai Rui go to the master?"

At this time, the Yi Ye family and the rich slave asked.

Lai Rong said angrily: "Can that be the same? Lai Rui is just a servant of an ordinary gentry family. Naturally, there are not so many rules. But you are slaves of the prime minister, so you have to know more rules. Besides, while the men are enjoying the scenery in front, take a rest here first. Then carry the men back with some strength, isn't it better? Whoever is thirsty is going to find a drink quickly? Whoever hasn't slept enough last night and squints his eyes and sleeps for a while, don't wait for the master to order him later."

"Brother Lai is right."

Another Ye family Haonu replied with a smile.

However, at this moment, Lai Rui hurriedly ran: "Brother Lai, Master Ge, you master accidentally fell off the cliff and fell into the deep pool below!"

"What?!"

Lai Rong hurriedly stood up, shouted, and then panicked: "What should I do?"

The other Ye family Haonu also stood up, not knowing what to do.

Lai Rong came back to his senses first, stomped his feet and looked at the Ye family's rich slaves, and shouted: "Baby guys! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go to the cliff to find the master! If the master has any problems, I can't spare you!"

Lai Rong yelled and looked at Lai Rui meaningfully.

Lai Rui nodded to Lai Rong.

Lai Rong didn't say anything to Lai Rui, but turned around and ran down the cliff, shouting anxiously: "Master! Master!"

Because many of the rich slaves in the Ye family are locals and are familiar with the mountain paths in this area, they came to the deep pool under the cliff in a very short time and rescued Ye Xianggao.

But Ye Xianggao was already unconscious at this time.

Fortunately, after the Ye family's Haonu rescued them by pressing their stomachs, the cliff was not very high, so Ye Xianggao opened his eyes after vomiting a lot of water.

But Ye Xianggao fell from a place of sixteen or seventeen feet high. Even if he fell into the water, it was no different from hitting the stone floor. Therefore, his internal organs had already been bleeding, so he naturally couldn't survive. Even if he was still a little conscious, he was just a matter of time. Moreover, the mountain spring water he drank was added to Lai Rui.

Even the doctor who rushed to Ye's house shook his head and said that Ye Xianggao was no longer helpful.

Ye Xianggao's son Ye Chengxue, Ye Chengmin and others were naturally surprised by this, so they hurriedly called Lai Rong to ask: "What's going on? The master went hiking so well, but why did he fall off the cliff and fall into the water?!"

Lai Rong hurriedly knelt down: "Don't rest assured, the young man was ordered by the master and stayed on the mountainside. The young man didn't know what happened to the master, but the young man was afraid of the risk, so he took everyone below to wait on the mountain road. When he heard that the master had an accident, he quickly went down the mountain road to save him. The young man broke his hand because of this. Now he still had no time to take it. He asked the man to spare his life and the young man was willing to go to the village."

Ye Chengxue asked, "Who was by the master at that time?"

"Mr. Li."

Lai Rong replied with some timidity.

Ye Chengxue and Ye Chengmin looked at Li Zhizao for this, with a complicated expression.

Not long after, Ye Chengchang ran over and said, "Two brothers, the master wants to see Mr. Li."

Ye Chengxue nodded and hurriedly walked to Li Zhizao: "Uncle Li Shi, my father is welcome."

"well!"

Li Zhizao hurriedly got up and followed Ye Chengxue to wait for Ye Xianggao's living place.

When Li Zhizao saw Ye Xianggao, he hurriedly shouted: "Gei Master!"

Ye Xianggao pointed at Li Zhizao: "I'm waiting for you. Go back and ask me why Xu Zixian and Sima Xu, why did he harm me so much? Could it be that he really had any collusion with the emperor on cotton yarn, and he would not hesitate to serve his king in this way?! He is really loyal!"

"What are you saying?"

Li Zhizao asked.

Ye Xianggao smiled slutty: "Why? I'm not long after my life, I'm still hiding it. You and Xu Zixian have a close personal relationship. If you don't deal with me for him, who else would you do for?! I have no personal grudges with you! Are you going to be promoted?"

Ye Xianggao closed his eyes after he finished speaking and didn't say anything.

Li Zhizao was quite unfair and he didn't know what to explain.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside: "The imperial edict has arrived! Li Zhizao received the edict!"

Not long after, the eunuch came in as soon as he passed the imperial edict and asked, "Is Li Zhizao here?"

Li Zhizao had no choice but to stand up, then turned around and looked at the priest and knelt down: "That's right here."

At this time, the officials of the Fengfeng Dynasty started to recite the imperial edict: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun said: Li Zhizao is knowledgeable and outstanding. Because the Minister of War Xu Qingguangqi recommended him to be the right minister of the Ministry of Works and the chief of the Ming Academy of Sciences, the Ming Academy of Engineering, and immediately rushed to Beijing. No mistakes are allowed. I respect this!"

Li Zhizao was a little confused. As a retired official, he had heard that the court wanted to appoint him, but he did not expect that the court would have appointed him as the right minister of the Ministry of Works to appoint him so by chance. Moreover, he did not expect that the court would directly appoint him as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Zhizao still accepted the order, so he naturally did not dare to resist the order.

But what happened at this time seemed very dazzling in the eyes of the Ye family.

After all, Ye Xianggaocai fell down the mountain because he climbed the mountain with Li Zhizao and fell into the water. Now he is about to die. Li Zhizao was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works in a blink of an eye. Who would have believed that Li Zhizao might have framed Ye Xianggao for his personal position, let alone Ye Chengxue and other members of the Ye family.

However, Li Zhizao is now considered an official in the court, and Ye Chengxue and others cannot produce evidence, so they can only watch Li Zhizao talk to the official in the future.

Next, after the priest left, Li Zhizao said to Ye Chengxue and others a little embarrassedly: "Nephew! I really don't know about Lingzun at that time. Lingzun and I were watching the mountain scenery, but I didn't expect that he suddenly fell and fell. Now that he has fallen to such a point, I don't want to see it, but it's too late to say this. I hope you will be mourning and follow the changes. The emperor's order is difficult to disobey. I can only leave first and rush to the capital. If you come to the capital in the future, I will definitely treat you well and say goodbye!"

As he said that, Li Zhizao turned around and left Ye's mansion.

Ye Chengxue and others could only watch helplessly.

"I really know people, face and heart. Brother, he hurt my father. Are we just letting him go?!"

After Li Zhizao left, Ye Chengmin couldn't help but ask Ye Chengxue.

Ye Chengxue gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you listen to the master just now? The one who really hurts the master is Xu Guangqi!"

Next, shortly after Li Zhizao left Ye Mansion, Ye Xianggao passed away.

...

"Old Master! The East Factory has the latest report, Ye Xianggao is gone!"

Ganqing Palace.
