Chapter 138

Magistrate Hua comforted Ye Xiaotian for a while before he left. When Ye Xiaotian went back to his room to change and take a bath, Hua Qingfeng went to look for County Magistrate Meng and Register Wang to discuss.

County Magistrate Meng and Register Wang were in the kitchen discussing the tax plan. When they heard that the female devil had left, they took the initiative to come out. They bumped into Hua Qingfeng at the entrance of the Second Hall and the three of them went into the Second Hall to discuss.

County Magistrate Meng and Register Wang also felt that Ye Xiaotian had been in the limelight for too long. As long as he stayed quiet for a month or so and died peacefully, it would be fine. They didn't want him to cause more trouble, so they agreed to Hua Qingfeng's suggestion.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaotian washed up and walked out of the courtyard. When he was about to go to the front street for breakfast, he saw Su Xuntian and Li Yuncong standing on the left and right side of the courtyard like door gods.

Su Xuntian, who was said to be in a drunken stupor yesterday, was now full of energy and full of energy. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but mock him. Su Xuntian wasn't angry. He just smiled and apologized, pushing all the blame to his brother-in-law who "loved me and his dog".

Since Li Yuncong was beaten up by Ye Xiaotian, he didn't talk nonsense in front of him anymore. He just wanted to wait for Ye Xiaotian to "die of acclimatization", so he was patient. Ye Xiaotian couldn't be bothered with him. He casually joked with Su Xuntian and was about to turn to the front street when he suddenly saw a person squatting on the opposite side of the street.

That person squatted on the opposite side of the street and was looking around. He suddenly turned his head and saw Ye Xiaotian. He was overjoyed and ran over, "Big brother, big brother, how are you?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "I'm fine. I didn't get beaten to death by that crazy woman. You just came back? "

Tycoon was startled, "Where did I just come from?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Wong Tai Sin Ridge."

Tycoon laughed, "Big brother, don't joke with me. Even if I crawl slower than a tortoise, I should have reached the county by midnight."

Ye Xiaotian: "…"

Tycoon said excitedly, "Ah! So you live here. I only know that you live in an official residence. With your official position, your house must not be small, but I do not know which courtyard it is. It's early in the morning and I can't find anyone to ask, so I can only wait at the intersection. "

Ye Xiaotian asked, "Why are you waiting for me?" At this moment, Ye Xiaotian noticed that Tycoon was still carrying his bag. He asked curiously, "Did your father change his mind? He forced you to go to school again? "

Tycoon adjusted his bag and said, "Not really. I'm used to carrying it."

Ye Xiaotian: "…"

Su Xuntian: "…"

Li Yuncong: "…"

Tycoon ignored their strange expressions and asked excitedly, "Big brother, where are you going?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "I'm … going for breakfast. Why are you here so early in the morning? "

Tycoon's face fell when he heard this question. He sighed, "Big brother, I'm very troubled now."

Ye Xiaotian said, "What are you troubled about? Are you in love? "

Tycoon said, "I'm always in love. It's not surprising. What I'm troubled about is … I used to sleep all the way to school and the day would pass quickly. Now I don't know what to do. I'm so bored. "

Ye Xiaotian, Su Xuntian, and Li Yuncong looked at each other. They did not understand Tycoon's weird thinking. Su Xuntian could not help but ask, "Now that you're not going to school, can't you sleep every day?"

Tycoon said bitterly, "Yes. The problem is I won't feel sleepy if I don't go to school. How can I sleep if I don't feel sleepy?"

Su Xuntian: "…"

Li Yuncong: "…"

Ye Xiaotian said warmly, "Tycoon …"

"Ah?"

"If I were your father, I would strangle you to death. Otherwise, I would be angered to death by you."

Tycoon said, "Big brother, stop joking. I'm serious."

"You're serious?"

Ye Xiaotian, Su Xuntian, and Li Yuncong's faces twitched. Su Xuntian said to Tycoon in admiration, "My brother-in-law often scolds me for being a good-for-nothing. But compared to you, there's a huge difference."

Tycoon cupped his hands at Su Xuntian and said, "You flatter me. Judging from your tone, you must be someone who has nothing better to do than to fight cats and dogs. If you have the time, I would like to learn from you. "

Su Xuntian: "…"

Tycoon then said to Ye Xiaotian, "I woke up early in the morning and tried to sleep again. But I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't find a place to go, so I came to look for you."

Ye Xiaotian walked and said impatiently, "Why are you looking for me? I don't have time to play with you. I have things to do. "

Tycoon carried his school bag and followed him. He said, "It's okay. I'll work with you. Look at those little constables. They all have helpers following them. You're a Warden and your rank is higher than them. How can you only have two followers? "

Su Xuntian felt uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "Young Master Tycoon, I'm actually a monitor and he's a Warden."

Tycoon suddenly realized, "Oh, you're a high-ranking follower. Sorry for not recognizing you."

Su Xuntian: "…"

Li Yuncong: "…"

Ye Xiaotian walked into the snack bar and touched his pocket. Yesterday, Hua Qingfeng gave him three taels of silver to comfort him. Ye Xiaotian said it was his salary. It was rare for him to be generous. He said, "Three servings … four servings … Tycoon, have you had breakfast?"

Tycoon smiled and said, "Big brother, you can eat. I've had breakfast."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Oh! Three servings of breakfast. Sit, sit. It's my treat today. "

Tycoon sat down on a stool and said, "Big brother, you're treating? I can't not give you face. I'll just eat something. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "… Okay! Give me another serving of breakfast. Tycoon, after you've had your breakfast, you can walk around the city. A day will pass quickly. "

Tycoon said, "Then where are you going? Shopkeeper, give me another serving of breakfast. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "The magistrate wants me to go to the countryside to collect the autumn grain. But the magistrate is my direct superior. I have to wait for his orders. Before that, I plan to walk around the city. "

Tycoon smiled and said, "That's perfect. We can go together. Shopkeeper, give me another serving of breakfast … "

Ye Xiaotian listened helplessly. Tycoon was too clingy. He didn't know that Tycoon had such a temperament in the past. This time, his hands were really wet with dry flour. He couldn't get rid of Tycoon no matter how hard he tried.

Su Xuntian ate his breakfast and said to Ye Xiaotian, "By the way, Warden, do you know where the Miao woman who caused a ruckus at the yamen yesterday went?"

Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "Ah! If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. That crazy woman went to Autumn Willow Alley, right? Haha, how is Xu Boyi now? "

Tycoon opened his mouth and was about to stuff the biscuit into his mouth. When he heard this, he quickly said, "Oh! When I came to look for Big Brother this morning, I passed by the county school and met a few classmates. They were talking about Xu Boyi. They said that he was beaten up badly … very badly … so badly that he asked for leave and didn't come to school today. Everyone was very happy to hear that. "

Ye Xiaotian was speechless.

Su Xuntian and Li Yuncong gradually got used to this young master Tycoon's more unconventional way of thinking. Su Xuntian coughed and said, "That Miss Zhan went to the Xu family and beat that brat up badly. He was beaten so badly that she almost crippled him. Fortunately, his wife appeared and knelt in front of Miss Zhan. She hugged her thigh and begged for her husband's life. Only then did Miss Zhan leave angrily."

Ye Xiaotian was a little angry when he heard this. He said, "This kind of scum who clings to the rich and tries to abandon his wife. Why does his wife still want to protect him?"

Su Xuntian sighed and said, "She is a woman. Even if her husband is wrong, what can she do? Is she going to let others beat her husband until he becomes a cripple? "

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and couldn't help but sigh. Although Li Yuncong was a mean person, he naturally didn't dare to be mean again after being humiliated once. Therefore, he remained silent. Only the sound of snoring came from the tycoon's side. It sounded like a "farmyard".

When it was time to pay the bill, Ye Xiaotian took out eleven sets of breakfast money. Although it wasn't very expensive, it still hurt a little. He was poor, and the fifty taels of silver that the tycoon promised hadn't been given to him yet. After leaving the snack bar, Su Xuntian asked politely, "Warden, where do you think we should go for a walk now?"

Ye Xiaotian touched the money in his pocket and suddenly remembered that he should buy something for Shuiwu. There was no woman who didn't like jewelry. Although according to Ye Xiaotian's taste, jewelry was neither suitable for eating nor wearing. A silver-plated hairpin was far less practical than three pounds of pork ribs. But didn't women like unrealistic things? Anyway, this was not the only shortcoming of women. As a man, I should be more tolerant …

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian said, "Let's go to the Cross Street."

Almost every street in the county was a crossroad, but there was only one street that could be called the Cross Street, which was the busiest street. The street that Ye Xiaotian wanted to go to was the street where he witnessed the people's war when he first arrived in Gourd County.

With Tycoon hanging out with them, Tycoon was no longer lonely. The four of them walked side by side. Not long after, they turned into the bustling crossroads. Three furtive figures followed them in the dark. Ye Xiaotian, who was focused on looking for jewelry, did not notice them at all.

Zhan Ning 'er was dressed in men's clothing, carefully following behind Ye Xiaotian. Beside her were two burly men with helpless expressions. These two burly men were Zhan Ning' er's personal bodyguards, Jiu Gao and Jiu Dang. They had also changed into ordinary Han clothing to avoid attracting Ye Xiaotian's attention.

Jiu Dang couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, is this okay?"

Zhan Ning 'er stared at Ye Xiaotian with full attention. Without turning her head, she said, "Why not?"

Jiu Dang said, "Miss, you have never practiced blow darts. That is something only the Miao people in the mountains know."

Zhan Ning 'er sneered, "Who says I don't know? Of course you don't know, but I have learned. When I was nine years old, I went to the mountains to pay a visit to the Venerable. I saw the old man's men use it. I liked it very much. I even specially asked for one and learned how to use it from them. Luckily my cousin reminded me this time. Otherwise, I would have forgotten. "

Jiu Gao said, "Miss, there are so many people. It's easy to get hurt by accident."

Zhan Ning 'er said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like it's a deadly weapon. It's just that if I get hit, I will laugh wildly for a day. Think about it, he is a government official. If he is sitting in court or walking on the street, he will always laugh like a madman. Humph humph! If he makes me lose face, I will make him lose face to death! Hurry up, don't lose him! "

Zhan Ning 'er quietly took out a blowpipe from her bosom. She carefully stuffed a hair-like blow dart into it and quickly approached Ye Xiaotian …
