A few days ago, when Ye Fashan brought Li Yu to "seek refuge" with Ye Minglei, he only told him that this lady was called "Little Yu 'er" and was a good friend of his.
At that time, Ye Minglei thought that this lady was Ye Fashan's sweetheart, so he did not ask much.
But these few days when they lived in the manor, the two of them did not show any signs of intimacy. They really seemed like good friends, which made Ye Minglei very suspicious.
At this moment, Li Yu's provocative words made him start to seriously examine this lady in front of him!
Li Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Ye, I am from the Chang 'an Datang Daily editorial department!"
Little Yu 'er was not stupid. From the previous few conversations, she could tell that Ye Minglei was a "hesitant faction" and could not be considered as the Cui family's lackey. Since that was the case, she had a chance to win Ye Minglei over to their side. After all, Zhengzhou's current dangerous situation could not be solved by just her and Ye Fashan, these two "outsiders"!
If she could win Ye Minglei over, then it would be much easier for them to do things! Although Ye Minglei had no military power, he was after all the county magistrate of Guancheng County, so he had a lot of information.
If she wanted to win Ye Minglei over, then she could only come clean and tell him the truth!
"From the Datang Daily editorial department?"
Just a few words, but it was like a rolling thunder, shaking Ye Minglei's heart and soul. After a while, Ye Minglei came back to his senses and asked, "This old man used to read Datang Daily every day. There were many current news articles written by a person called Li Yu. Could it be you?"
Mentioning this, Little Yu 'er was abnormally happy and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's me! It's me! "
Ye Minglei's gaze focused and asked, "Then Lady Li Yu, why are you here? Could it be that His Majesty or Marquis Yong 'an already know about the current situation in Guancheng County? "
If the imperial court knew about the news and took action in advance, he might be able to make some arrangements to protect his family!
To his disappointment, Little Fishy shook her head and said, "The Imperial Court and Sir, oh, it's the Marquis of Yong 'an. It's just that I'm used to calling him Sir. Actually, the Imperial Court and Sir don't know what's going on in Zhengzhou! I only heard that Zhengzhou was in chaos some time ago, and I was worried that a good official like Wei Zuocheng would be harmed by scoundrels, so I asked Teacher to let me come to Zhengzhou to investigate. I didn't expect the Cui family to be so daring as to plot a rebellion! "
From these words, it wasn't difficult to discern that Li Yu had a rather good relationship with Li Zexuan, and this caused Ye Minglei to be unable to help but have a whole new level of respect for Li Yu. "Miss Li Yu, how many guards did Marquis send to escort you this time? Where are they now? Did you sneak into the city? "
Li Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that this person was still hoping that he could call for reinforcements? Speaking of which, she couldn't even protect herself now, alright?
"Uncle Ye, Little Fishy only has Fa Shan by her side this time!"
Li Yu said weakly.
When Ye Minglei heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed. "With just the two of you, how am I supposed to fight with all my might? When the time comes, I'll only have two more heads! From what I see, it's better for the two of you to hide during this period of time. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you! "
Even at this time, Ye Minglei had never thought of harming Ye Fashan and Li Yu. From this, it could be seen that he could be considered a righteous man. It was just that he had his family behind him that he had to be wary of, so he had no choice but to be an ostrich for the time being!
Li Yu bowed and said, "Many thanks for Uncle Ye's good intentions, but I'm definitely going to take care of this matter! I can't just stand by and watch the people of Zhengzhou be deceived and muddled into rebelling. When the time comes, they'll end up with their families ruined! They're innocent!
Although I didn't bring any guards with me this time, but with the current situation in the city, no matter how many guards I bring, it's useless! If we want to break out of this situation, we can't fight them head-on, we can only use our wits! "
Ye Fashan nodded, his face full of agreement.
Ye Minglei frowned and said, "How do we use our wits?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "Before answering this question, I'd like to ask Uncle Ye, is Wei Zuocheng dead or alive? If he's still alive, where is he now? "
If they could find Wei Zheng, then everything would be easy!
The civil officials of the early Tang Dynasty were not as weak as the civil officials of the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the civil officials at this time had fought with the army, and Wei Zheng was not an exception.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the eighteen rebellions rose up, Wei Zheng was even a "dog head military adviser" for Li Mi in Wagang Village!
So, although Wei Zheng was not good at war, in terms of commanding, Old Wei still had his own way of doing things. Now, if they could find him and let him command, then their chances of breaking out of this situation would be much higher!
Ye Minglei thought for a while and replied, "I don't know if Wei Zuocheng is dead or alive. The county government and state government have no news of his whereabouts! But I feel that Wei Zuocheng is definitely not dead! "
"Why does Uncle Ye say so?"
Li Yu's eyes lit up as he asked excitedly.
Ye Minglei replied, "Because we haven't found Wei Zuocheng's body! As for the Imperial Army guards that came with Wei Zuocheng, they were all stabbed to death. So this old man thinks that Wei Zuocheng was either captured and imprisoned, so he hasn't shown himself recently, or he has already escaped! "
Li Yu smiled and said, "I think so too! Oh! Right! Uncle Ye, you told me this morning that Fashan and I should not leave the house for the next two days. Is something big going to happen soon? "
Ye Minglei stroked his beard and said, "Indeed! Two days later, there will be a grand lecture in the city. At that time, Provincial Governor Pan and Old Master Cui will be there. Other than that, I heard that Old Master Zheng will be there too! "
"Old Master Zheng?"
Li Yu and Ye Fashan exclaimed at the same time. Just the Cui Clan was already so powerful. If the Zheng Clan were to step in and rebel, then the imperial court would really have to go to war and have a headache!
"Mm! This is the latest news that I heard from the county government! "
Ye Minglei nodded and replied, "Obviously, Old Master Cui knows that with their strength alone, they can't shake the foundation of the imperial court. So, Old Master Cui approached Zhengzhou City! "
"Did the Zheng Family's Great Grandfather agree?"
Li Yu asked anxiously.
"This, I'm not sure! But in two days' time, everything will be clear! "
Ye Minglei shook his head.
"Second Uncle, I want to go to the Provincial Governor's Mansion tonight. I want to see if Wei Zuocheng is imprisoned in the state government!"
Ye Fashan cupped his hands and said to Ye Minglei.
