Cheng Chang'an and Zhang Yurong are both masters of the wood carving department, but their status is not as high as Master Liu. When Ye Laosan was helping Master Liu with wood carving here before, the two of them were always following him and helping him, so they are quite familiar with each other.
Gu Tao and Pei Hongliang were the previous batch of apprentices taught by Master Liu. They were sent by Master Liu to Linglong Pavilion to help polish building blocks, and had met Ye Lao San several times.
So no matter who is called, they can prove Ye Laosan's identity.
As Master Liu's apprentice, even though he had just arrived, he was not unfamiliar with these people.
After all, Master Liu's energy is limited, and most of the tasks of teaching new apprentices fall on Cheng Chang'an and Zhang Yurong.
Gu Tao and Pei Hongliang are their direct senior brothers, and they are also the best among the previous batch of apprentices. Now they have their own rooms and can make some daily necessities for the nobles in the palace.
When they first arrived, Master Liu used the stories of these two senior brothers to inspire them.
Hearing that Ye Lao San could call out the names of these people casually, the people who had stood up to mock him earlier couldn't help but retreat a little, thinking, could it be that this man who looks like a farmer is really a hermit master?
But the other people in the room still didn't believe it. Someone said, "Who knows where you heard these names? Don't think you can fool us just by calling out their names."
Ye Laosan didn't expect that these people had such a strong prejudice against him. He felt that he would not be able to see Master Liu today.
He was too lazy to bother with these people anymore and wanted to go back first.
When those people saw that he was about to leave, they thought he was guilty and became even more arrogant.
"Hey, why are you leaving now? Weren't you looking for this person and meeting that person just now?"
"Hurry up and ask the guards to come and search. Could this guy be here to steal something?"
"Indeed, our General's Works Department not only has woodcarving facilities, but also a place for making gold and silver utensils!"
"Even if it's a wood carving, there are some really good materials that are worth a fortune. A small piece can fetch a lot of money!"
A few people talked to each other and directly identified Ye Laosan as a thief who came in to steal.
Ye Laosan was so angry that his face turned red. He stopped walking and turned around to argue with them.
Before he could say anything, someone suddenly entered the yard from behind and walked out quickly.
The newcomer complained as he walked away, "What are you guys arguing about up there? Don't you know that Master Liu is in retreat? If you keep doing this..."
When Ye Laosan saw the person, he was overjoyed. It was Cheng Chang'an.
When the other apprentices saw Cheng Changan, they all lost their temper.
Only Ye Lao San waved his hand and called out, "Master Cheng! Do you still remember me?"
Cheng Changan looked up and saw that it was Ye Laosan, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Brother Ye, what brings you here? Could it be that you have figured out how to make that wood carving?
"Hurry up, follow me in. Master Liu will be so happy to see you."
Cheng Changan said exactly the same thing as Menzi.
Seeing this, the other apprentices were all frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
Could it be that this Ye Lao San really has such great abilities?
Ye Lao San saw Cheng Changan's haggard face, with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. He hadn't shaved in who knows how long...
Seeing this, Ye Lao San didn't care about the apprentices anymore and couldn't help asking, "Master Cheng, what's going on?"
The last time I came to help with the wood carving, I had never seen him so haggard.
Cheng Changan took Ye Laosan's arm and led him inside while saying, "Oh, this is a long story. Let's talk about it as we walk..."
Unexpectedly, when he pulled, Ye Lao San did not follow him and remained standing where he was.
Cheng Changan stopped in confusion and turned around to ask, "Third Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
Ye Lao San said, "Let's ask the guards to come and search me before we leave. Otherwise, if I just walk away, I won't be able to explain it later."
As soon as these words were spoken, the apprentices who had just been there felt a chill on their backs, and broke out in layers of cold sweat. This meant that he was going to complain in person!
"What body search? What body search?" Cheng Changan has been very tired recently and was unable to react at the first time.
But when his eyes swept over the new apprentices, he saw their embarrassed expressions and fearful eyes, and instantly understood something.
Cheng Chang'an has been following Master Liu since he joined the General Works Department, and it has been more than ten years now.
I have helped train several batches of apprentices.
Didn't he say that this batch of new apprentices was the worst in recent years in terms of both level and character.
As an apprentice in a place like Jiangzuojian, one might be able to make up for poor skills with hard work, but bad conduct is a big taboo.
Cheng Changan's eyes instantly became sharp. After scanning those people, he said, "I'll take Third Brother Ye to see Master Liu first. I'll deal with your affairs when I come back!"
When the apprentices heard this, they panicked instantly and began to shirk responsibility.
"Master Cheng, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't say anything. It was He Yu who said it."
"Yes, Master Cheng, you see, we are still sitting here, and it is He Yu who keeps saying that Master Ye is a country bumpkin who knows nothing."
"Master Cheng, you must investigate thoroughly. We are truly wronged!"
He Yu never expected that these people who had always been so close to each other would be so cruel as to push him out to take the blame.
Although he was the one who stood up and spoke up just now, others also joined in, and even talked more and more outrageously. Later, they even wanted to accuse Ye Lao San of stealing things.
Why are you putting all the blame on yourself all of a sudden?
He Yu said angrily, "Master Cheng, they also said that they suspected that Master Ye came in to steal something, and they even asked the guards to search him!"
Cheng Changan didn't expect that after he said just one sentence, these people would start to fight each other.
He had already made up his mind that he must tell Master Liu about this matter, kick them all out, and replace them with a new batch of apprentices.
The Chief of Construction doesn't want them to be like this.
"There's no need to bite each other. When I get out, none of you will be able to escape!"
After Cheng Changan finished speaking, he turned to Ye Lao San and said, "Brother Ye San, I'm so sorry for making you feel wronged.
"Please come in with me first. Master Liu's eyes are sore from working so hard these past few days.
"But don't worry, I will handle this matter to your satisfaction."
After Cheng Changan finished speaking, he took a step back and asked Ye Laosan to walk in front of him.
Before leaving, he glanced coldly at the apprentices.
Several people felt a chill run down their spines when they were looked at, and a voice echoed in their hearts at the same time.
It’s over, it’s all over now!
