Chapter 234 Can’t hide anymore?

Ye Daquan drove the horse-drawn carriage slowly along the busy road in the county town.

In the carriage, Ye Caiping was chatting and laughing with Jin'er and Huan'er, while Ye Xuan was reading a book nearby.

Leisurely and comfortable.

Ye Jin'er asked, "Mom, when we get to the city, where should we go?"

"Hmm...I need to think about this."

Ye Xuan said: "There is a White Aries Tower in the city, the scenery is nice."

"After visiting there, you can also go to the Exiled Immortal Lake."

"Second cousin knows so much, when did you go there?"

"I haven't been there. I heard about this from my classmates when I was studying at Master Qian's place."

"oh oh."

“After visiting these two places, you can also go to Ci’en Temple to pray for amulets for your grandparents.”

Ye Caiping and her daughter were eager to try it out after hearing this.

Most of the unhappiness of the past few days has disappeared.

Speaking of which, she has been busy since she came here and has not traveled far away.

This time, it was the right decision.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook.

"What are you doing?" a cold voice came from outside.

Ye Daquan said, "Sir, let's go to the city."

Ye Caiping lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had arrived at the city gate, but was stopped by the gatekeepers.

"No one is allowed to leave the city these days."

"W-why?"

"Didn't you know that the county magistrate is investigating a massacre of a whole family in Yizhuang recently?"

"We have found out that the murderer is the notorious bandit Zhang Yidao. But Zhang Yidao escaped last night, and we are now searching the entire city for him. No one is allowed to leave the city!"

The people at the city gate were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not go out.

Ye Caiping looked slightly cold.

Ye Daquan turned around and asked, "Little sister, what should we do now?"

"Go home!"

Ye Daquan could only drive the carriage back depressed.

Jin'er and Huan'er were extremely disappointed.

Seeing their depressed faces, Ye Caiping smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity for us to come out, let's take this opportunity to buy some cloth and take it back!"

"Summer is coming soon, so we should make summer clothes."

The two girls' eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Ye Daquan had heard it and quickly stopped the car in front of a cloth shop.

After Ye Xuan got off the horse, he stuffed two taels of silver into Ye Xuan's pocket and asked him to buy some cloth.

A few people went to the cloth shop and it was already noon when they finished buying cloth.

The group of five stopped by the wonton stall next door to eat wontons.

Unexpectedly, while eating, I heard someone talking about the affair between Ye Caiping and the county magistrate.

Some still said that there was something going on between the two, while others said that the county magistrate's wife was jealous and wanted to punish Ye Caiping.

Ye Daquan was so angry that the chopsticks in his hand almost broke:

"How does Magistrate Lu do his job? Why are people still talking about it?"

Ye Caiping whispered, "It's not so easy to stop the gossip."

"Humph, I see he didn't block it! What kind of parent official is this? I see he's just a wimp. He's afraid of that woman. I'm so pissed!"

"Hey, is this... Madam Ye?" a frivolous voice sounded.

Ye Caiping looked up and saw a man in his early forties walking towards her with a few servants.

"Who are you?" Ye Daquan was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. Suddenly, someone who looked like he was here to cause trouble appeared, and he immediately yelled at him.

The man was quite handsome, but when he opened his mouth, he revealed a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

He didn't even look at Ye Daquan, but only stared at Ye Caiping and said with a smile:

"My name is Zheng Kai. I'm sure Madam Ye must have heard of me from her elder sister."

Ye Caiping sneered: "Oh, so you are the cousin of the county magistrate's wife, what advice do you have for me?"

"Nothing, hahaha!" Zheng Kai stared at Ye Caiping and rubbed his hands: "I've heard that Madam Ye is a great beauty. Now I see that she is indeed as famous as her reputation."

The words were greasy and frivolous, and Ye Jin'er and Ye Xuan frowned deeply after hearing them.

"You are old, but still act like a child. What's the matter?" Ye Daquan wanted to hit someone even more. Is this the matchmaker arranged by the county magistrate's wife?

Even a rough guy like him got goosebumps from the oil, and he still wanted to introduce her to a little sister? How disgusting!

Zheng Kai ignored Ye Daquan and said with a smile: "My elder sister has been talking about Madam Ye these days. It just so happens that my elder sister is going back to her parents' home today. Why don't Madam Ye come over and have a get-together with my elder sister?"

Ye Caiping said coldly: "No, thank you."

As he stood up and was about to leave, several servants behind him hurriedly blocked his way.

The diners who were eating wontons jumped up in fright and hid aside.

In Yue'an County, who doesn't know Zheng Kai!

But in the past, Zheng Kai, the county magistrate's brother-in-law, had never caused trouble and had always been law-abiding. You are flirting with a woman in the street today?

This can't be hidden anymore?

"Someone, please bring Madam Ye home." Zheng Kai opened his folding fan and waved it.

The servants immediately rushed over and tried to arrest the man.

Ye Daquan and his son didn't care about anything and just picked up the tables and chairs on the ground and threw them over.

Bowls and dishes were flying everywhere in front of me, and wonton soup was splashing everywhere.

Ye Caiping protected her two daughters, with coldness and anger flashing in her eyes.

"Stop!" A majestic cold shout rang out.

Ye Caiping turned around and saw Magistrate Lu in official robes, walking towards her majestically with two rows of yamen runners.

Zheng Kai's face changed, and the servant he brought with him knelt down in fear: "Your Highness, Your Excellency the County Magistrate..."

The people around also knelt down and said, "Greetings, sir."

Zheng Kai looked at Magistrate Lu who was walking in front of him with a pale face: "Sister, brother-in-law."

"You bastard!" County Magistrate Lu slapped him in the face.

Zheng Kai's head was tilted due to the blow, but he didn't dare to fight back.

"Come here, take Zheng Kai and his group of vicious dogs to the prison and make their decisions tomorrow!"

"yes."

The yamen runners escorted Zheng Kai and his servant away, and the people nearby clapped their hands and said, "The county magistrate is wise!"

"The county magistrate is mighty."

Ye Daquan was furious, and regardless of whether Magistrate Lu was an official or not, he shouted angrily, "Sir, what is this all about?"

"Didn't you say that you've already taught your wife a lesson? Why did she let the dog bite people?"

"And these rumors...are they trying to kill people?"

Magistrate Lu looked sincere and apologetic, but he couldn't hold back after being insulted in public: "I'm sorry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Then he looked at Ye Caiping with a gentle and worried look on his face: "Is Madam Ye okay?"

Ye Caiping glanced at him coldly: "It's okay."

Magistrate Lu saw that she was in such a mess, and that the mother and daughter were all covered in soup, so he said hurriedly:

"No matter what, let's find an inn and clean up first."
