Chapter 176

Yu Junting squinted at Li Qiuchi, "Is Ye Tianguan really sick?"

Li Qiuchi said anxiously, "Yes, Your Excellency. My Dongweng rushed to Tongren and was busy cleaning up the Interrogation Hall. He was overworked and not acclimatized to the climate. Last night, he dragged his tired body to socialize. In the end, he suddenly fell sick this morning. It was very sudden."

Yu Junting made an 'oh' sound and said nonchalantly, "I heard that someone saw Ye Tianguan in front of the yamen early in the morning. It seems that he really fell sick suddenly. It was very sudden indeed."

Li Qiuchi's lie was exposed on the spot, but his expression did not change. He still said seriously, "Yes, yes, the illness happened too suddenly. Everyone in the mansion panicked. I just asked a doctor to treat Dongweng. He said that he needs to take medicine and rest. It will take at least ten days to half a month for him to recover. Ah, Official Yu, this way please. "

The two of them were talking nonsense when they arrived at Ye Xiaotian's door. Yu Junting used a small fan to lift the curtain and walked in without hesitation.

"Cough cough cough cough …"

As soon as Yu Junting walked in, Ye Xiaotian let out a series of violent coughs. His body bent like a shrimp and he tried to hold his breath. His face was flushed red. Seeing Yu Junting, Ye Xiaotian gasped, "Ah! Yu … Yu … Cough cough cough, Official Yu, I am sick … sick and can't … can't … "

"Forget it!"

Yu Junting's voice was clear, like a few ice beans falling on a jade plate. He walked over confidently, lifted the back of his robe and sat on the cushion next to the bed. He carefully looked at Ye Xiaotian's expression and said in surprise, "Oh, Official Ye, you are really sick."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Yes, yes, illness … illness comes like a mountain … cough cough cough … illness … illness … illness …"

Yu Junting said with a face full of concern, "Official Ye, please don't talk anymore. I'm afraid that if you can't catch your breath, you will die immediately."

Ye Xiaotian choked and laughed dryly, "No … I won't. Cough cough, the doctor said, I only need to rest … rest for a few days."

"Is that true?"

Yu Junting was delighted and looked very charming, "That's good, that's good. People often say, 'Good people don't live long while evil people live for a thousand years'. Looks like it's true. I am relieved."

Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at her sarcasm. Yu Junting enjoyed Ye Xiaotian's deflated expression for a while and was suddenly stunned. Ye Xiaotian was squinting his eyes and pretending to be half dead when he saw Yu Junting stretch out a slender white finger and wiped it lightly on his face.

Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened in shock. Yu Junting looked at his finger and looked at Ye Xiaotian's neck and sighed, "Official Ye, you are too careless. Next time, remember to wipe incense ash on your neck."

Li Qiu Chi hurriedly explained, "Official Yu has misunderstood, the doctor we invited … … is a witch doctor!"

Ye Xiaotian also reacted and said, "Yes yes yes, it is a witch doctor. You know that witch doctors treat illnesses. They often use some folk remedies. This incense ash is … cough cough cough cough … "

Yu Junting's eyes looked down and fell on Ye Xiaotian's boots. Ye Xiaotian saw that her eyes were looking down and the corner of her mouth raised into a thought-provoking smile. His heart skipped a beat. When he was wearing socks and rubbing incense ash on the ground, his feet stepped on the boots first. The boots were flat now. With Yu Junting's shrewdness …

Ye Xiaotian remembered that when Yu Fushun died, his expression and eyes were strange. It was all discovered by Yu Junting and he figured out the whole story. It could be seen that this person's mind was meticulous to the point that it made one's hair stand on end. The boots were flattened. Others might not be able to see anything, but she might be able to.

Just as Ye Xiaotian thought of this, Yu Junting suddenly stretched out his hand and with a 'hua', he lifted Ye Xiaotian's quilt. He saw Ye Xiaotian neatly dressed lying on the bed. Only his feet were not wearing boots. Yu Junting stood up and walked a few steps towards the door. He then turned back and looked at the dust under Ye Xiaotian's socks. He then walked out with a faint smile.

Ye Xiaotian sat up straight like a zombie. They were all smart people. They knew that they couldn't pretend anymore, so there was no need to continue pretending.

Yu Junting put his hands behind his back and used the handle of his fan to hit his back. He looked at the antiques placed on the 'Leaning Mountain Pendant'. Ye Xiaotian put on his boots and walked out of the bedroom. He looked calm and didn't look embarrassed at all.

When Yu Junting heard the footsteps, he straightened his back and looked back. He couldn't help but secretly praise, "Shameless to this extent. You can be considered a talent."

When Ye Xiaotian saw Yu Junting, his face immediately became bitter. He said, "Milord's visit today must be about the murder case between the Dai family and the Zhang family. Don't blame this official for pretending to be sick. This case, the victim and the defendant both have very big backgrounds. This Ye really can't handle it. "

Yu Junting smiled. "I think it's not that you can't handle it, but that no matter what the outcome of the trial is, you will definitely make a big enemy. So you're deliberately avoiding it, right?"

Ye Xiaotian coughed. "This … can also be considered a reason. This official is new here and my words don't carry much weight. Whether it's the Zhang family or the Dai family, if I offend any one of them, it will be difficult for me to take a single step in the future."

Yu Junting nodded. He said in a very understanding manner, "I also understand your difficulties. However, even the Prefectural Magistrate has the same difficulties. So this obviously isn't a difficult case, but the Prefectural Magistrate didn't even ask about it and pushed it onto your head.

This Yu Junting has come because the Prefectural Magistrate has said that no matter if you're sick or not, as long as you haven't breathed your last breath, we will tie you up and bring you back to the yamen. From what I see, it's impossible for you to pretend to be sick and avoid it. "

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he looked bitterly at Li Qiuchi, who also looked like he had eaten a bitter gourd. At the same time, he hung his head dejectedly. Yu Junting suddenly thought again. He said, "However, what happened to your ability to pretend to be stupid and muddle the waters at Mt. Mercury? Can't you do the same and push this difficult problem back onto the Prefectural Magistrate? "

Ye Xiaotian was startled. He couldn't help but stare at Yu Junting. What did this mean? It seemed like this little demon girl couldn't wait to use this difficult problem to give Prefectural Magistrate Zhang a headache.

Just as Ye Xiaotian's suspicions arose, Yu Junting had already coughed lightly. He said, "Don't let the Prefectural Magistrate wait for too long. Let's go!"

Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to bring Li Qiuchi with him and follow her out. Yu Junting took two steps, then suddenly stopped. He used his ivory fan to point at the Leaning Mountain Pendulum. He said, "That Tang Sancai is a grave-guarding beast. It has a heavy killing intent. If one isn't born with a strong destiny and has a strong cultivation, it's best not to place it in the living room. "

"Ah?"

Ye Xiaotian turned his head to take a look. He didn't know what that malevolent-looking antique with the face of a beast and the body of a human was. He had even forgotten who had given it to him. He only knew that it was very valuable, so he had placed it in the living room. It turned out that it was a grave-guarding beast, so it couldn't be casually placed.

Yu Junting casually pointed to the left and right sides of the living room. He said, "This pair of Qilins was originally placed across the living room, right? Why did they move here? Do you think they are the lion guarding the house? "

That pair of Qilins wasn't brought by Ye Xiaotian when he moved. He had only brought the most valuable things to Tongren. As for household utensils or bulky items, he didn't bring a single one. This pair of Qilins was left behind by the original owner of the house.

After being scolded, Ye Xiaotian suddenly felt like a nouveau riche who didn't know anything and only knew how to show off. Although he was indeed a nouveau riche. Ye Xiaotian embarrassedly said, "Uh, I just felt that the pair of Qilins on the left and right side of the main seat was too messy, so …"

Yu Junting walked as he said, "Then put it in the bedroom. Put it in the White Tiger position. It can be used to suppress evil spirits."

Ye Xiaotian's thick skin also reddened. He said, "Yes, yes, yes. I've learned a lot. But I don't know what this White Tiger position refers to … "

At this point, Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized something. His eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "How did Official Yu know that this pair of Qilins was originally placed across the living room?"

Yu Junting looked at him with a strange expression. He said, "Who do you think the original owner of this house is?"

Ye Xiaotian went 'ah ah' for a long time. He never thought that the original owner of this house that he bought at such a high price was actually Yu Junting. While he was surprised, a strange thought suddenly floated into his mind. As General Guang Wei, Tong Ren's Chief Judge, Yu Junting, why did he want to sell the house?

…

"You want to go back on your word!" Dai Tongzhi stared at Pu Zongji and asked.

Pu Zongji said angrily, "This lowly one doesn't dare to go back on my word. But just a farm cannot buy my son's life!"

Dai Tongzhi's face gradually turned ashen and a faint murderous aura appeared in his eyes. However, Pu Zongji's shoulders only subconsciously collapsed for a moment before he stood firm. His eyes met Dai Chonghua's and unexpectedly did not avoid his gaze. This small character who was once incomparably lowly in front of Chieftain Dai actually had the courage to resist because of hatred.

Pu Zongji did not show any weakness and looked at Dai Tongzhi for a long time. Dai Tongzhi suddenly smiled and became very amiable. "Fine, what else do you want?"

"I want Official to transfer the ownership of your ship to my Pu family. Also, Official must give me 60% of the shops in Tong Ren and Guiyang!"

Dai Tongzhi's murderous aura, which he had just restrained, immediately flared up again. "How dare you!" he shouted in a stern voice. Do you believe that I only need to move my little finger to take the lives of your entire family? "

Pu Zongji straightened his back and said to Dai Tongzhi, "I believe you! But now that my son has been handed over to the interrogation hall, you can't do anything to him! If you don't agree to my conditions, my son will tell the truth. At that time, my entire family will die, and your daughter will also die! My family's lives are worthless to you, but your daughter is your only heir! "

Dai Tongzhi angrily glared at Pu Zongji. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. However, Pu Zongji had already thrown caution to the wind. No matter what, he could not protect his son's life. Thus, he would use his son's life to exchange for the greatest benefits for his family.

When the Dai family's most profitable business fell into his hands, it would completely change the fate of the Pu family. At that time, even Dai Tongzhi would not be able to do anything to him. In this world, there were not many chieftains and chieftains who were stronger than the chieftains, but he would become one of them.

The two faced off and the atmosphere was stifling. After a long time, the corners of Dai Tongzhi's lips slowly curled up and the lines on his face gradually softened. "Fine! I promise you! "

Pu Zongji did not relax and immediately asked, "When will the ownership be transferred?"

Dai Tongzhi said, "After the verdict, before the execution!"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

A chieftain's hand and a headman's hand were slowly raised into the air. They were as heavy as mountains.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Three high-fives. One was for his son's life, the other for his daughter's life. The two fathers reached a devil's pact.
