As the sun set, Qingyan specially dressed the twins in their outdoor clothes, and each of them carried a small bucket, ready to go beachcombing.

The tide will be going out soon, and we'll be able to get a lot of things. Seeing Qingyan's happy face, Yin's mood gradually improved as well.

“Father, Father, let’s go dig for things too! My sister said she’s seen a lot of things, and Yiken’e won’t be left behind!” After getting up, Yiken’e wandered around the third floor of the Yuelai Inn. His favorite place was the huge observation deck, where he could see the sea from all angles.

Yin smiled to himself. This brat doesn't like people causing trouble behind his back. Fine, if anyone dares to say anything more, he'll just deal with them.

The family of four went up to the first floor, where Yin's family was waiting.

Later that evening, the group of seven, accompanied by their guards, made their way to the beach. The three little ones were exceptionally excited along the way, showing no fear of the waves.

"Yiken'e, Hutulifengshengzhalafen, you two are too young to climb on the big rocks." Qingyan was determined to nip all dangers in the bud before they set off.

"Understood!" Yiken'e nodded quickly. They had finally managed to get their mother to take them out for some fresh air, and they absolutely couldn't be sent back and spoiled.

Seeing Yiken'e's insincere expression, Songkelierha covered his mouth and laughed. Hutulifengshengzhalaf was speechless. His Ahhun was always so unreliable!

"Yiken'e, you better watch out, and don't do anything bad behind my back!" Qingyan was most worried about his son, and Yin placed a lot of guards around him.

Yin Zong said that boys must be a little mischievous and not too quiet, otherwise they will not have any manly qualities.

Upon arriving at the beach, Yiken'e stepped onto the soft sand, her little face immediately scrunching up as she carried a bucket in one hand and began rummaging through the sand with the other.

He searched around himself with a serious expression, while the two couples, Yin and Yin, stood not far away, watching their three children play on the beach.

"Fourth brother, the matter is rather tricky. Bringing female relatives along should make it less likely to arouse suspicion." You also received news that those scholars' homes were being watched.

Last time, Yin's method was indeed good, and he obtained the most important information about the Ning family. However, the prefects also paid extra attention to the Ning family, which was the most troublesome thing.

"What?!" Yin thought that since they had moved far away from Yangzhou and were gradually concealing their movements, the Prefect and others could relax. If they were kept watching, they would be more likely to run into trouble.

Yin recounted the information his guards had gathered: they had met their match this time, having not only bribed the scholar's entire family but also seized the most crucial witnesses and physical evidence.

“Those two families have been silenced; they’re just saying their scholars committed suicide,” Yin said directly.

Yin was in a bind; this was clearly someone trying to sabotage them behind their backs.

"Forget it, let's give up on those two. There must be other options!" Yin pondered for a moment and decided not to target those two companies.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As the sun set, fireworks soared into the sky in the direction of the fishing village. Moreover, Yin and Qingyan exchanged a glance. Why are they setting off fireworks in broad daylight?

He carefully observed the fireworks in the sky, feeling as if he had seen their shape somewhere before.

"Wait, this should be a signal!" Yin remembered that when they went on expeditions, the Mongols had a custom that each tribe had its own unique fireworks. When a tribe was threatened, they would light the fireworks, and people from other tribes would come to their aid.

Ugh!

Qingyan looked at Yin in astonishment. If it was a signal, who was it aimed at?

Based on the location of the fireworks, they were likely lit in an open area of ​​the fishing village.

"Brother, are they here for us?" Yin asked, puzzled.

They came here as merchants, and even the yamen runners accepted money from them, so they certainly wouldn't have noticed.

“No, it must be that the villagers are preparing to hold a meeting.” Yin pondered for a moment. “Previously, the Mongol tribes had made it clear that in addition to asking for help, they also wanted to hold a meeting.”

Yin nodded directly; the village elders' council should convene now.

Qingyan stood aside and directly opened the video from the direction of the fishing village. She noticed that the elders were very nervous about the appearance of strangers in the village. They asked Ning Chengji what Yin and Qingyan's identities were.

The village elders and the head of the household gathered together, and Ning Chengji was chosen as the person to be questioned.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" an elderly man, barely seventy years old, asked Ning Chengji.

Ning Chengye's suicide drew everyone's attention and sorrow. Seeing the prefects' cover-up, they all felt that the problem was becoming increasingly serious.

In addition, the aura emanating from Qingyan and Yin'erren makes one wonder about their true identities.

"Elder, they've only come to buy pearls. They've bought all of my brother's pearls!" Ning Chengji gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't say more in order to clear his brother's name.

It's hard to say whether those people bribed anyone in the village.

Ning Chengji calmly looked at the elders. These people had all been corrupted. In order to get more silver, they must have their own plans.

Three years later, the Grand Elder's grandson was going to take the imperial examination. Ning Chengye's matter became the Grand Elder's biggest concern, and he hoped to open up a new path for his grandson.

"Is that so? Chengji, we've all watched you two brothers grow up. Now, your lineage is the only one left in your family. You must be extra filial and don't let anyone fool you again!" The elder's words carried a warning.

After all, no one would dare to cause trouble behind his back. Besides, Ning Chengye's grades were among the best, and he was definitely the object of care and attention from teachers and classmates in the estranged area.

"I understand!" Ning Chengji was glad he hadn't confessed. The Grand Elder had already been sold out and was sent by the other party to reprimand him.

Ning Yangshi glanced at her handkerchief and spoke to the women with a degree of caution.

"Chengji's wife, it's not very kind of you to be so secretive with your sister-in-law!" The eldest elder's daughter-in-law looked at Ning Yangshi and laughed. "During the day, everyone knew that you had guests and bought a lot of things to take back, otherwise, why would you have stayed for so long?"

Ning Yangshi smiled and said, "The young master and young mistress came into the courtyard because they saw our seashells. I told them that the master had gone fishing, and the young master said he wanted to buy some seafood for his parents. Didn't the women from the Cao family also like to eat seafood here when they came over that day?"

Ning Yangshi smiled. This wasn't something to hide; everyone knew it, so there was no need to think about it further.

"Yes!" the elder's daughter-in-law said awkwardly.

On that day, the women of the Cao family were received by the eldest elder's family, who also made a considerable profit.
