"Oh! Isn't this Madam Ye? Are you here to pray for blessings at Songyue Temple? I heard this morning that County Deputy Ye was sick. Could it be true? "
Guancheng County, at the entrance of Songyue Temple.
Madam Ye brought Li Yu, Ye Fashan, and a few others out of the temple. She was stopped by a fat, shifty-eyed, greasy middle-aged man. Behind the man were four or five bailiffs. At this moment, he was staring at Madam Ye maliciously and said with a smile.
"Registrar Wang, what do you mean by this? My husband is sick in bed. As a colleague, it's fine if you don't care about him, but you're actually making sarcastic remarks here. Has your sense of propriety been eaten by dogs? "
Hearing this, Madam Wang's face was filled with anger and she scolded mercilessly.
She looked exactly like a wife who was eager to protect her husband.
Registrar Wang saw this and his eyes flashed. Then, he said with a smile, "Hehe! Madam Ye, please don't be angry. Who said that I don't care about County Deputy Ye? I even sent people to send County Deputy Ye a lot of ginseng, bird's nest, and other precious tonics! As a person, what I value the most is the righteousness between friends and colleagues! "
Madam Ye glared at Registrar Wang coldly and didn't continue to say anything.
Registrar Wang rolled his eyes and pretended to be depressed. He patted his head and said, "Aiya, look at this official's memory. I brought people here to catch the rebels. Why did I mention this to Madam Ye? "
"Rebels?"
Madam Ye, Ye Fashan, Li Yu, and the others were all shocked. Finally, Madam Ye forced herself to look calmly at Registrar Wang and said, "What rebels? When did Guancheng County have rebels? Moreover, Registrar Wang, why did you catch the rebels at Songyue Temple? "
Registrar Wang didn't answer. He turned his gaze to Ye Fashan and Li Yu behind Madam Ye. Then, he went forward and asked, "Madam Ye, who are this young master and this young lady? I've known County Deputy Ye for many years. How come I've never seen them before? Don't tell me they're your long-lost children! "
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Ye's eyes were filled with anger as she said, "Don't talk nonsense, Registrar Wang. They are my master's niece and nephew. They entered the city a few days ago. If Registrar Wang continues to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
Ye Fashan and Li Yu were also furious. If it weren't for the special situation, they would have beaten Registrar Wang up a long time ago!
"Don't be angry! Madam Ye, please don't be angry! "
Registrar Wang waved his hand 'fearfully' and said, "I'm just asking casually, there's no need for Madam Ye to be angry! Oh, right! Were this young master and this young lady at home last night? "
Ye Fashan's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, 'What should come has finally come!'
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Madam Ye standing in front of him. With a look of disdain, she said, "Nonsense! If they're not at home, where else could they have gone? "
Registrar Wang crossed his arms and asked lightly, "Is there anyone who can testify ~?"
Madam Ye panicked, but she knew that she couldn't panic at this moment. She took two deep breaths and glared at him.
"What? Registrar Wang wants to testify? Fine, when we return to the Ye residence, I'll ask all the servants and maids to testify ~! Our Ye family has never done anything wrong, why would we be afraid of your investigation? But you, Registrar Wang, without any evidence, what right do you have to interrogate our Ye family members? You're offending your superiors! When my master recovers, I'll go to the county office to find the county magistrate to judge ~! "
Registrar Wang's eyes flashed with an unnatural look. Then he smiled and said, "Haha! I'm the one who's joking, there's no need for Madam Ye to be angry! As for Deputy Ye going to find the county magistrate to judge, he can do as he pleases! I'm afraid he won't make it in time! Hahaha! "
After saying that, Registrar Wang laughed proudly.
"Won't make it in time? What do you mean? "
Madam Ye frowned and asked.
"Haha! Nothing! "
Registrar Wang shook his head and looked at Madam Ye. He whispered, "Li Lanzhu, Li Lanzhu, ten years ago, why didn't you choose me, Wang Cheng, but Ye Minglei? Haha, what's the result? In a few days, Ye Minglei will die and you'll be a widow! Tsk tsk! What a pity! What a pity! "
"You! Wang Cheng, you've gone too far! "
Madam Ye was shocked and angry. She pointed at Registrar Wang and said while gritting her teeth.
"You're asking for death!"
Ye Fashan looked at Registrar Wang with a gloomy look. His heart was filled with murderous intent.
Although Wang Cheng's voice was low, Ye Fashan heard every word. From his point of view, he had brought trouble to his second uncle's family when he accompanied Li Yu to manage the city. Now, someone had insulted his second aunt, whom he had respected since he was young, in front of him. How could he tolerate this?
Moreover, after Wang He, the servant of the Ye residence, found out about Li Yu's identity, he secretly went to inform on Wang Cheng!
Kill!
Although Ye Fashan was a Taoist, when he met someone who deserved to be killed, he would not show any mercy! However, there were too many people here. If he killed Wang Cheng, none of them would be able to escape!
"I'll let this bastard live for another two days!"
Ye Fashan thought to himself.
"Haha! Alright! Since there are no traitors here, I'll take my leave! However, I still have to give Madam Ye a piece of advice. For the next two days, you and Deputy Ye should not go out as you wish! "
Wang Cheng smiled and then left with his men as if nothing had happened.
"Hmph! Brother Ye, this bastard is evil. If there's a chance, I'll cut off his head for you! "
After Wang Cheng had left, Liu Rengui patted Ye Fashan's shoulder and said.
"Thank you!"
…
After returning to the Ye residence, Ye Minglei asked Madam Ye, Li Yu and Ye Fashan to change into the coarse clothes of the commoners. He also instructed the housekeeper to close the door and decline all visitors for the next two days. When the sky was about to turn dark, Liu Rengui led the Ye family out of the residence and headed towards the south of the county.
At this time, the commoners were in a hurry to go home. There were quite a lot of people on the streets. Moreover, the sky was dark and it was not easy for others to recognize them!
Three quarters of an hour later, they finally arrived at Liu Rengui's rented courtyard without any mishap.
"How is it? Has the information been sent out? "
As soon as they entered the house, Wei Zheng impatiently went up to them and asked before they could even greet each other.
Little Yu clasped her hands and smiled. "Deputy Wei, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. When it was close to noon, I had sent everything here to the Yamachō! The Yamachō said that he will go to the palace immediately to meet the Emperor. He estimated that the army from the imperial court will be here soon! "
Wei Zheng was overjoyed. "It's done? It's really done? The Duke of Yong 'an's telegraph machine has done a great job! Next, we should think about how to get out of here and help the imperial court to suppress the rebellion! "
