Chapter 241 Success
In a damp and dark cell.
The growls of hunger came one after another.
Ye Caiping took a few deep breaths. It would be better to let her family be relieved sooner rather than later.
Ye Caiping stood up and walked to the prison door: "Jailer, come here!"
Ye Daquan on the opposite side asked anxiously: "Little sister, what are you going to do?"
Ye Caiping looked at him: "I don't want to die yet. Of course, everyone else can't die either."
Ye Daquan was stunned. No one could escape. It didn't matter if he died, but his little sister couldn't die. The only way to survive was the only way...
Jin'er and Huan'er sat on the straw, holding her hands and sobbing.
Old Mrs. Ye also burst into tears.
Ye Caiping said, "Okay, it's no big deal."
A yamen runner walked in nonchalantly: "What's going on? What's the quarrel?"
Ye Caiping said coldly: "Tell him that I agree."
The policeman snorted, "Why don't you just let it go earlier? You have to stay in jail for a few days before you behave yourself. All right, I'll report it now."
Having said that, he left.
The bailiff came to the back hall and told Ye Caiping what she had agreed to.
Magistrate Lu jumped up excitedly: "Really? Humph, I said, as long as her family is in my hands, she can't escape."
"Yes, yes, your Excellency's honor."
The county magistrate's wife put down her teacup and said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir."
Magistrate Lu heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to his wife, "Congratulations, madam. I'll trouble you to arrange the wedding in three days."
"Okay." The county magistrate's wife stood up. "I'm tired. I'll go back and rest first."
Although marrying Ye Caiping can resolve the immediate crisis and will bring many benefits in the future, one will still feel jealous.
After the magistrate's wife left, Magistrate Lu quickly ordered, "Come here, bring me a bucket of water. I want to take a bath!"
He fell in love with Ye Caiping from the first moment he saw her. He couldn't wait for three days, so he brought her over tonight and had the wedding night first.
The yamen runners were busy preparing hot water.
But before Magistrate Lu could finish washing himself, a yamen runner suddenly ran in from outside and said, "Sir, Sir Qin is here."
"Mr. Prefect? Why is he here so late?" County Magistrate Lu paused while taking off his clothes and hurried out the door.
I saw Lord Qin, the prefect of Nanzhou, walking towards me quickly. He was in his early fifties, dressed in an official robe and looked very majestic.
"Your humble servant greets the prefect." Magistrate Lu hurriedly saluted, and after completing the salute, he spoke familiarly, "My dear relative, why are you visiting so suddenly in the middle of the night? Ah!"
But before he could finish his words, Prefect Qin hit him with a big bag.
County Magistrate Lu was stunned, shocked and frightened: "My dear relative..."
"Hmph, I don't have a relative like you!" Prefect Qin said coldly.
Magistrate Lu's face changed drastically, he was shocked and frightened. Ever since his son took office as a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, this superior who once looked down on him has not shown him a good attitude for a long time.
Why is he acting so crazy so late at night?
Although Magistrate Lu was afraid of this immediate superior, he became more stern in tone when he thought of his son's current position. He turned his face away, cupped his hands, and said angrily:
"Your Excellency has come to visit unexpectedly. I wonder why?"
"What's the matter?" Prefect Qin sneered and threw the letter in his hand at Magistrate Lu's face. "Look at what good things you have done?"
Magistrate Lu felt humiliated. He picked up the letter and his face changed when he read it.
Although it was not signed, the content showed that it was written by Ye Caiping to her second brother, saying that he was trying to steal cassava, seize her property, and force her to marry him. When they failed to force her to marry him, they fabricated charges and put more than a dozen members of their family in jail.
The letter also asked her second brother to find Su Hen.
Prefect Qin looked at him and sneered: "I just found out now that cassava was actually discovered by this Madam Ye. How dare you do such a heartless thing!"
Magistrate Lu's face turned pale and he knelt down hurriedly: "Sir, please forgive me! I can give you half of the credit for the cassava. I can also give you half of her property."
Prefect Qin was furious: "You——"
If it was someone else, he would naturally protect him because they are relatives! He didn't dare to offend anyone who had been offended by County Magistrate Pianlu.
Prefect Qin shouted anxiously, "How dare you! Am I the kind of person who would go along with you?"
County Magistrate Lu looked at him in disbelief. Aren’t you? What are you pretending for! The hateful thing is that he has no leverage over Prefect Qin!
Magistrate Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, for the sake of our being in-laws..."
"Shut up! Didn't you read the letter carefully? Don't you know who is protecting her? Let the Ye family go!"
County Magistrate Lu was confused: "That Su Hen? He's just a small merchant..."
"Are you blind? Can't you see such a big word?"
Sink? Magistrate Lu picked up the letter from the ground and opened it again with trembling hands. There was indeed the word "Chen" on it, but what happened to it?
"Please, please let me know, sir."
Prefect Qin rolled his eyes in anger: "There's a red mark next to it!"
Magistrate Lu took a closer look and finally saw the words on the red seal. His hand trembled and the letter fell to the ground:
"It must be... the Shen family in the capital?"
As he spoke, Magistrate Lu collapsed to the ground.
Prefect Qin closed his eyes and exhaled fiercely: "Come here, tie up Lu Baiwen for me."
They immediately rushed into several government offices and captured Magistrate Lu.
The county magistrate's wife heard the noise and rushed over: "My dear, what happened? Why did you leave the master to..."
"Tie up Madam Lu too. She's involved in this, too!"
"No, no, no... Relatives, my son is a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, one level higher than you! How can you..."
"Shut up."
…
In the cell.
Everyone in the Ye family looked depressed and dull as they sat in the dirty cell.
At this moment, two people suddenly came over and opened the cell door at the same time: "Let's go, you can go home now."
Everyone in the Ye family was stunned for a moment, but they were not very surprised, because all this was exchanged for Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping quickly helped Old Lady Ye up: "Mom, no matter what, go home first. Jinhua and Yinhua, help your mother up. Xiaoyan, help Huan'er, she is still sick."
The family members supported each other and walked out of the cell step by step.
When I came out of the dungeon, I saw that it was already dark, the moon was high in the sky, and there were no pedestrians on the street.
Three large carriages were parked not far away.
"Madam Ye, please get in the car. We will take you back to the village." said the servant who released the people.
Ye Caiping hurriedly helped Old Lady Ye and helped everyone get on the bus one by one.
Halfway up, Ye Caiping suddenly realized that there were no yamen runners around. And only then did she realize that the one who let them out was not a yamen runner.
And their clothes looked very familiar. Ye Caiping was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that these were the clothes of the servants of the Shen family.
She looked around hurriedly, and finally saw a blurry figure in green at the entrance of an alley not far away.
Ye Caiping was startled, and hurried over, and sure enough, she saw Shen Zhiyan standing there, dressed in a green robe as light as water, and wearing a white fox fur cloak.
Seeing her dirty and miserable appearance, Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month. You have made a difference and you are actually going to jail!"
The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched. What kind of words are these?
Before she could say anything, he suddenly untied his cloak and put it on her: "Let's go home first."
