Chapter 101 Climbing the Wall
Ye Wan left the village and headed straight for the prefectural city, only to find that the prefectural city was even more chaotic than the village.
People were still looting in the streets; the bustling scene from before was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing someone being knocked down and crying, Ye Wan recognized the voice and walked over. Was it the vegetable vendor who had set up a stall next to her before?
The vegetable vendor was surprised to see Ye Wan, and wiped away his tears. "Madam Ye, what brings you to the prefectural city?"
Then he quickly lowered his voice, "Madam Ye, you're a woman, don't wander around the streets. What if some beasts target you?"
He knew Ye Wan was good-looking; she was fair-skinned when she first started setting up her stall, but later she deliberately darkened her face.
In the past two days, young women have been kidnapped and abused one after another, and everyone says it was done by rebels.
He was delivering vegetables to Xilailou when he was hit by a car, and all the vegetables were ruined.
Ye Wan frowned. "So arrogant? Isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"
The rebels have already reached Min County and are openly burning, killing, and looting. What are the local officials doing?
The vegetable vendor lowered his voice, "Who dares to interfere when the emperor is so far away? We can only accept our bad luck."
Rumors circulated that these people were not rebels at all, but rather government soldiers trying to frame Prince Jing.
Ye Wan sighed, "My man has been falsely accused of being kidnapped by bandits. I've come to inquire about the situation."
The vegetable vendor lowered his voice, "I have a cousin in the yamen jail. I'll take you there and see if we can get in and see him."
Thank you.
As a result, Ye Wan couldn't get in at all after she went there, even though she used money.
"Brother Li!"
Ye Wan spotted Officer Li with her sharp eyes.
"Why are you here? This is not the time for you to come. Go back now." When Officer Li saw Ye Wan, he hurriedly led her to a corner to talk.
After explaining the whole story, Ye Wan asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, where is Lin Anyuan being held? Could I see him?"
Lin Anyuan was taken away in such a hurry that he was still injured.
Putting everything else aside, if something happens to Lin Anyuan, those three girls will be so pitiful.
Officer Li was in a difficult position. "Sister-in-law, we...we can't say for sure either. You should go back and wait for news."
"Don't worry, if I see anyone, I will definitely take care of them."
But Officer Li knew that Lin Anyuan was not among those who had been imprisoned and sent to the army.
Lin Anyuan was taken away by Lord Pan alone.
"Thank you very much, Brother Li." Ye Wan didn't make things difficult for Officer Li.
Without power and influence, one can hardly move an inch.
We can only hope that Liu Wenshu can help us.
"Sir, Lin Anyuan has been arrested. What crime did he commit?"
At the same time, Magistrate Wu was also questioning Pan Dong.
Pan Dong was sent by the capital. Hearing that they were going to catch the rebel King Jing in a trap, Magistrate Wu had no choice but to cooperate.
Lin Anyuan had just arranged for the grain to be collected, how could this happen...?
Pan Dong spoke coldly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't. The message I sent to Lord Wu before, has everything been taken care of?"
"Everything has been taken care of."
"That's good, you may leave now."
Pan Dong dismissed Magistrate Wu and ordered someone to bring Lin Anyuan up.
Upon seeing the god-like appearance, Pan Dong's eyes lit up.
Oh, beautiful woman.
...
...
It was dark when Ye Wan returned to the courtyard, only to be greeted by Ye Hua who opened the door.
"Big sister, what brings you here?"
Ye Hua pulled Ye Wan inside with a pained expression. "I came to see you, but the three maids said you went out. Why are you only coming back now?"
"I went out for a while and came back late."
Ye Wan didn't say what she was going to do. She washed her face in the yard, where Da Ya had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her.
During the meal, Ye Hua hesitated before speaking, "I've heard about what happened at home, don't be sad."
No one expected that Lin Anyuan would be betrayed after saving the entire village. Fortunately, that heartless man is already dead. Bah, he deserved it.
"Big sister, you have a bruise on your face." Ye Wan then noticed the bruise on Ye Hua's right cheek and her face immediately darkened. "Wang Hu hit you again?"
This time, Ye Hua didn't dodge. She touched her face and said, "Wang Hu didn't pay my taxes. I paid my own taxes."
"After those people left, he didn't get anything out of it. I scared him by holding the kitchen knife, and he didn't dare to do anything."
In fact, when Wang Hu heard that Lin Anyuan had been taken away today, he tried to drag her into the house in broad daylight.
She was disgusting; even touching her made her sick. She threatened Wang Hu with a kitchen knife before running out to find Ye Wan.
If Wang Hu dared to lay a hand on Lin Anyuan when she got into trouble, then Ye Wan's place is definitely not safe either.
Ye Hua smiled and said, "I won't be going back for a while. I'll just squeeze in here with you. Please don't mind me."
Ye Wan was silent for a moment, then took Ye Hua's hand. "Big sister, I shouldn't have been angry with you before."
Ye Hua refused to go with her because she was afraid of being a burden, but she felt that Ye Hua had no backbone.
But now that she's in trouble, Ye Hua is even willing to fight Wang Hu with knives.
Ye Hua smiled gently, "I know you're doing this for my own good, and I appreciate your kindness, but that's just how the world is, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Let's eat." Ye Wan put some food on Ye Hua's plate.
After the meal, Ye Hua reminded Ye Wan, "You should hide all the things in the kitchen. If people outside find out, they might come up with some wicked ideas."
These days, every household is probably tightening their belts to make ends meet, but Ye Wan is still eating white rice. If people found out, they would be in big trouble.
"Don't worry, big sister, I'll take care of it."
"Okay, as long as you know what I mean, go to sleep early."
Ye Hua didn't sleep with Ye Wan; she slept in the same room with the three girls.
It's late at night.
A faint noise came from outside the door.
Ye Wan, who hadn't been asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She knew that Lin Anyuan's departure would definitely cause trouble for some people, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
He got up and went into the courtyard, yelling at the person outside the gate, "Whoever you are, get out of here if you don't want to die!"
"I am Wang Hu, here to take my wife Ye Hua away! Open the door now! Where have you hidden my wife?!"
Ye Wan's expression changed.
Before I could say anything, a man suddenly climbed up the wall.
Ye Wan threw the sickle in her hand away.
"ah--"
The man was hit on the leg, screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.
Ye Hua ran out of the house without even putting her clothes on properly, asking, "Little sister, are you alright?"
"That beast Wang Hu actually dared to climb over the wall!"
Ye Wan's expression was not good. "That one outside is not Wang Hu at all. I don't know who it is either. I guess you were seen when you came here today."
She has a very good memory and can remember Wang Hu's voice.
The person on the wall just now was very obvious; the voice and build didn't match.
Not Wang Hu?
Ye Hua's face turned pale upon hearing this. "I... little sister, what should we do?"
