Chapter 123

On the hillside, Ye Xiaotian's mansion was being built at an astonishing speed. Often, when you looked up the hill one day, it would still look the same, but when you looked up the next day, it would look completely different.

Ye Xiaotian's mansion was very large, but it only covered a large area and had a large garden. It didn't violate the requirements of the system in terms of the number of courtyards, the style of the eaves, the patterns of the wall carvings, and the artificial mountains and ponds in the garden. So even if he occupied a thousand mu, no one could find fault with it.

But because the mansion was too large, even with so many people working hard, they still couldn't move in. Even if they moved in after the main building complex was completed, they would have to wait for another ten days. So Ye Xiaotian was still living in the small house rented for him by the county government.

Ye Xiaotian left Register Wang's residence. Seeing that it was getting late, he hesitated whether he should go to see Hua Qingfeng immediately. After thinking for a while, he decided to go home first. Anyway, even if he reported the details of the investigation, he couldn't carry out the next step of the action. Everything would have to be discussed tomorrow.

Ye Xiaotian asked Monitor Zhou and the others to go back to the county government first, and he went home. Ye Xiaotian walked to his residence and saw a big lump squatting in front of the door from a distance. It was Tycoon. Tycoon was squatting on the ground with a bag on his shoulder. His plump figure was comparable to Fuwa.

Law Tycoon lowered his head. No one knew whether he was looking at ants or something else. He didn't even notice that Ye Xiaotian had walked in front of him. Ye Xiaotian called, "Tycoon, why are you here? Are you waiting for me?"

Law Tycoon looked up and saw Ye Xiaotian. He stood up happily and said, "Brother, you are back."

Ye Xiaotian said, "You are not an outsider. Why don't you come in? Why are you squatting here?"

Law Tycoon said, "I went in. That damn fatty thought I was going to steal the little master from him. He always bullied me."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Which damn fatty? Uh … you mean Fuwa? "

Law Tycoon said, "Isn't that it? If Yaoyao treated me slightly better, it would get angry. It kept bumping my butt with its head when I wasn't paying attention. I didn't want to stoop to its level, so I came out to wait. "

Ye Xiaotian tried to stifle his laughter. "Actually, Fuwa rubbed its head against your butt because it likes you. It and Yaoyao often do this too. Other people don't get this kind of treatment."

"Really?"

Tycoon was delighted to hear this and said, "I knew it. I, Tycoon, have always been popular. Why am I so unpopular with Fuwa?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Fuwa must have treated you as one of their kind, so they are especially friendly to you."

Law Tycoon pouted his chubby cheeks and said, "Big Bro, do you want to call me fat or black?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "You are as white as a white steamed bun, how are you black?"

Law Tycoon rolled his eyes at him and said, "So you are saying I am fat?"

Ye Xiaotian laughed and slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, don't joke around with me. Tell me, why did you come looking for me so late at night?"

When Luo Daheng heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Big brother, I'm homeless now!"

Ye Xiaotian was shocked. "What happened to you?"

Tycoon said sadly, "I have no relatives now, so I can only rely on you. If you don't take me in, no matter how big the world is, there is no place for me to go."

Ye Xiaotian said nervously, "Something happened to your father?"

Law Tycoon was shocked. "What happened to my father?"

Ye Xiaotian said helplessly, "I am asking you, did something happen to your father? Otherwise, why are you homeless?"

Law Tycoon said in realization, "Oh! It's not what you think. I wanted to marry Niuniu, but my father insisted on marrying me with a rich family's daughter. I quarreled with my father, so I ran away from home. "

Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Do you and your father have to quarrel so badly? Actually, your father loves you very much. "

Law Tycoon said, "Big Bro, are you saying that you are not willing to take me in?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "How can that be? Forget it, come in with me first. But let me tell you, my house is small. If you want to stay, you can only squeeze with Old Mao and Dong Tian. "

Law Tycoon said happily, "I'm not afraid. I haven't slept with anyone before. It's good to have someone to talk to."

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and brought Law Tycoon into the room. Fuwa saw that Tycoon had returned and ran over excitedly to rub her head against his butt. Tycoon had already heard Ye Xiaotian's explanation. He knew that Fuwa liked him, so he was very happy.

Dong Tian didn't know how to cook, and Old Mao didn't know how to cook either. Yaoyao was still young, so the responsibility of preparing the family's meals fell to Ye Xiaotian. Although Ye Xiaotian didn't have Hua Yunfei's cooking skills, he could still make a simple meal.

Ye Xiaotian simply made a big pot of noodles, and the whole family ate it happily. Because there were not enough bowls, Tycoon used a basin, which looked like a pig in a trough. After the big basin of noodles was finished, Tycoon held the empty basin and stroked his round belly. Looking at the full family, he became sentimental again.

Tycoon said to Ye Xiaotian with tears in his eyes, "Big Bro, I ran away from home and have no relatives. Niuniu's family is a widow and an orphan. It's not good for me to live there. The only person I could think of was you. At that time, I knew that Big Brother would definitely take me in. You're my biological big brother! "

Ye Xiaotian was angry and amused at the same time. This fool owned a "general goods store" in the prime area of Gourd County. He was also the owner of "Luo Ligao" Carriage and Horse Company. Even if he really ran away from home, why did he have nowhere to go? He said it sorrowfully. Old Mao had been living a miserable life, but he had never been so sad.

However, Ye Xiaotian also knew that the reason why Tycoon had such a mentality was not because of material reasons, but because of psychological reasons. His mother died when he was young, and he was raised by his father. His father had always adhered to the principle that a strict father produces a filial son. Whenever he saw Tycoon, his father would blow his beard and glare at him. He had never shown his warm side, let alone talk to him. Therefore, Tycoon had a feeling of loneliness. Once he ran away from home, he naturally felt that he had no relatives.

Ye Xiaotian felt that it was not a good idea for the father and son to go on like this. He pondered for a while and said, "Your father raised you since you were young. He provided you with good food and drinks. Did he mistreat you? Even when you like to eat osmanthus cake, he specially hired a cook to make it for you. Otherwise, how could you be so fat?

Now, you are so grateful for a bowl of noodles from me. You think that I treat you so well. Have you ever thought about how much your father has done for you since you were young? When did he ever hope to be repaid by you? "

Tycoon was taken aback. Ye Xiaotian sighed and said earnestly, "You're used to taking things from others, so you've forgotten to be grateful. Everything your father has done for you, you feel that it is only right and proper. Your father chose a wife for you. Perhaps it is not what you want, but he is after all doing it for your own good.

Tycoon, is it really okay for you to leave like this? Your father is not young anymore. Even if he has a big family business, he is actually the same as you. He only has you as his family. He also wants you to stay by his side. If you are willing to stay, of course, I will take you in. But I still hope that you can return to your father's side. "

"Yes …"

Tycoon agreed heavily. Ye Xiaotian's words seemed to have really touched him. Tycoon held his chubby chin and thought about his own thoughts. Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian did not disturb him. He only hoped that his words could really make him understand.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian finished his meal, Squad Leader Zhou hurriedly came to his door. As soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian, he said, "Your Honor, the county magistrate attaches great importance to the robbery case in the Nameless Valley. He heard that you have come back and asked you to go there now."

Ye Xiaotian looked at the sky, which was almost completely dark, and thought, "Our County Magistrate Wugui is very concerned about the case this time."

Ye Xiaotian went out with Squad Leader Zhou. When they arrived at the county government, Ye Xiaotian went straight to the second hall. When he arrived at the second hall, the hall was as bright as day. Hua Qingfeng was sitting in the seat of honor and drinking tea. Register Wang and Xu Boyi were also there. The two of them sat on the left and right of Hua Qingfeng.

In the past, no matter what happened, the Registrar Wang always looked indifferent and indifferent. But this time, the Registrar Wang sat upright and still with a dignified expression. Ye Xiaotian glanced at him and thought to himself, 'Since it's related to his niece, his attitude is indeed different.'

Xu Boyi, on the other hand, leaned lazily on the chair, looking dispirited. He was a new official, but it was extinguished by Ye Xiaotian's pee. He was disgraced and became a big joke in Hulu County. Until now, he had not recovered.

These days, Xu Boyi used the excuse that he had fasted for a long time and had not recovered his strength. He was resting at home all day. Before Ye Xiaotian's fame of the High Mountain Diversion Canal passed, he would keep quiet so that he would not meet Ye Xiaotian head-on. But since Hua Qingfeng invited him, it seemed that he really attached great importance to this case.

Ye Xiaotian strode into the reception hall and cupped his hands in salute to Hua Qingfeng, Xu Boyi, and Register Wang. He said with a smile, "County Magistrate Xu, County Magistrate Xu, Register Wang, this lowly official is late. Please forgive me, forgive me."

Hua Qingfeng said, "Yeh Dianshi is here. Please take a seat. Haha, it must have been hard for you to go back and forth to investigate the relay route. It's getting late. I didn't want to disturb you at this time, but … "

Hua Qingfeng took a letter from the table and handed it forward. He said, "Take a look."

Ye Xiaotian had just sat down when he hurriedly got up and went forward to take the letter. He returned to his seat and opened the letter to take a look at the signature. As soon as he saw it, Ye Xiaotian's eyebrows twitched. This letter was from Tongren Prefectural Magistrate Zhang.

Ye Xiaotian read it from the beginning. The entire letter was only about a hundred words. Ye Xiaotian read it word by word and finished it in a moment.

Magistrate Hua waited for Ye Xiaotian to finish reading the letter. He smiled bitterly and said, "You saw it? This Forester Wai is actually Prefectural Magistrate Zhang's father-in-law. Although his daughter is only Prefectural Magistrate Zhang's wife, she has always been favored. Now that Prefectural Magistrate Zhang sent a private letter instead of an official one, you should understand the importance of this matter … "

Of course, Ye Xiaotian understood. If Tongren Province sent a letter, then it was official business. This private letter actually expressed Prefectural Magistrate Zhang's attitude. Since Prefectural Magistrate Zhang specially wrote this letter, it showed that he was unusually concerned about this case.

Hua Qingfeng sighed and said, "Now that you have investigated the relay route, do you have any results?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "This lowly official has already investigated. This case is the work of the bandits' One Dragon 'who have always been active in the nearby counties …"

Xu Boyi interrupted him and said in a low voice, "Knowing who it is isn't important. What's important is whether or not you can arrest him and bring him to justice! At the very least, you have to rescue Forester Wai alive. Otherwise … I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Prefectural Magistrate Zhang. "

Xu Boyi said this and saw Ye Xiaotian look at him. He quickly coughed twice and his voice suddenly became weak, "Ai! With such a big case happening in the county, this official's heart is burning with anxiety. It's just that right now my body is weak. Every two steps I feel chest tightness and dizzy. I can only entrust this matter to you, Official Ye. "
