However, what surprised Yu Tang the most was meeting Pei Yan.

When in Hangzhou, Yu Wen was delayed for a few days because of the Yutu matter. When he went to thank Pei Yan, he had already gone to Huai'an. After returning to Lin'an, Yu Wen went to Pei Mansion several times, but the managers of Pei Mansion said that Pei Yan had not returned yet.

The last time Yu Wen went to Pei Mansion was two days ago.

Is Pei Yan really busy or doesn't want to see her father?

Yu Tang thought it was the latter.

However, regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, it was true that Pei Yan had no intention of having anything to do with their family.

Not to mention that Pei Yan saved her, even if he was a stranger, she wouldn't force him.

Yu Tang thanked Pei Yan again, but did not mention asking her father to go to Pei's house in person to express his gratitude.

It was not known whether it was because Pei Yan felt that Yu Tang's behavior was just what he wanted, or because he did not take saving her seriously. He nodded without saying anything more. He called out "Zhao Zhen" to the driver and said, "Leave the person to Miss Yu. We are leaving first!"

Zhao Zhen responded immediately, and with a few slashes of his hands, he knocked the thugs to the ground like chopping melons. Then he ran over and grinned at Yu Tang, saying, "Miss Yu, don't worry. These people won't wake up until the police from the government office arrive."

Yu Tang was surprised.

Pei Yan was cold and arrogant to others. She never expected that the coachman named Zhao Zhen and the little boy who helped her were both kind and warm people.

The fact that they could behave like this must be directly related to Pei Yan's attitude towards them.

It can be seen that her understanding of Pei Yan is biased.

If nothing else, he is at least very kind and generous to the people around him.

It was originally an accidental encounter, so Yu Tang naturally couldn't delay Pei Yan any longer.

She thanked Zhao Zhen: "Thanks to you for controlling these thugs this time."

Zhao Zhen waved his hands and smiled shyly, "I, I am just following orders. If you want to thank someone, thank our master!" After that, he quickly ran to the side of the green-curtained carriage, pulled the reins of the horse, and called to the boy, "A Ming, we are leaving."

The boy called "A Ming" responded happily, said hello to Yu Tang, turned around and climbed onto the carriage and sat on the wheel.

Yu Tang couldn't help but smile and waved to Ah Ming.

Ah Ming smiled shyly.

Pei Yan left in a carriage.

Li Jun and Shen Fang stood at the entrance of the village and watched Pei Yan leave. After the carriage had gone far away, they pointed at the thug lying on the ground and asked, "Ms. Yu, what are you going to do?"

Yu Tang wanted to keep Li Jun, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Shen, thank you very much for this time. Although Zhao Zhen, the third elder of the Pei family, said that these people will not wake up before the police arrive, I dare to ask you two to stay here for a while so that the police can help testify when they come. I will ask the villagers to invite the village chief and my father to come over. We can't just let this matter go."

Li Jun and Shen Fang both thought it was appropriate. Yu Tang hurriedly knocked on the door of the nearest family, took out two pieces of silver and asked them to go to the old house of the Yu family to report the news, and said: "Tell my father not to tell my mother and aunt, find my seventh uncle and bring him together."

She didn't see her seventh uncle just now, and didn't know whether he ran away or was waiting for her somewhere else.

The man was frightened when he saw the gangster on the ground. He wanted to see the excitement, but also wanted to earn the two pieces of silver. He took a quick glance and ran towards the Yu family's old house.

Li Jun and Shen Fang talked about Pei Yan: "The third master of the Pei family looks very cold and arrogant, but unexpectedly he is a man of character, generous and cheerful, and actually rescued Miss Yu."

Shen Fang rolled his eyes and said, "Anyone who encounters such a situation will help, right? I don't see why Master Pei San is so generous and happy!"

"You don't know. Something happened in our family a few days ago." Li Jun said, "My cousin had a shipload of goods seized by the Taihu Inspection Office. My cousin sent someone to ask my father for help, but my father didn't know anyone from the Taihu Inspection Office. He had no choice but to find the third elder of the Pei family. The third elder of the Pei family didn't ask too many questions, but gave my eldest brother a name card and asked him to find the Taihu prefect. The matter was over just like that. The third elder of the Pei family is really a good person."

Shen Fang was stunned and asked, "Your cousin? Which cousin?"

Li Jun said, "It's the cousin who does business in Fujian. He's the eldest son of my uncle. He's a nice guy. Next time he comes to Lin'an, I'll introduce him to you."

Shen Fang responded perfunctorily. In Yu Tang's opinion, Shen Fang had no intention of getting to know Li Jun's cousin, but Li Jun was obviously not very perceptive and continued to say, "My cousin is the same age as my eldest brother, but he is already my uncle's right-hand man..."

Yu Tang knew who he was talking about.

Lin Jue, the nephew of Lin's maternal family and the eldest son of the Lin family.

He was a very good businessman. After only a few years under his control, the Lin family became one of the most wealthy families in Fujian. The Li family also became rich through his involvement in maritime trade.

In his previous life, he visited the Li family frequently, and Li Duan and he had a very close relationship. One time, Li Duan had bad intentions towards her, and it was Lin Jue who helped him...

Yu Tang fell into silence, lost in memories of the past, but a noisy sound rang in his ears.

When she looked up, she saw her father, uncle, cousin and seven or eight other men from the clan running towards her angrily.

Yu Tang hurried forward.

Yu Wen grabbed Yu Tang's arm, looked her up and down with a pale face, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Yu Tang said hurriedly, "Mom doesn't know about this, right?" As she spoke, she stretched her neck to look at the person who was coming.

I didn’t see my seventh uncle.

Yu Wen said, "I was shocked when I heard the news. I came here with your eldest uncle and others before I could find your seventh uncle. What happened to your seventh uncle? Wasn't he with you?"

Yu Tang said, "We'll talk about this later. Master Li and Master Shen are here. They are both very righteous and rushed over when they heard that I was in trouble!"

Yu Wen immediately stepped forward to thank the two of them.

Li Jun and Shen Fang turned aside and did not accept Yu Wen's greeting. They blushed and said, "We are too late. It was the third master of the Pei family who saved Miss Yu!"

The person who reported the incident did not know what had happened. Yu Wen was shocked to hear that Pei Yan was also involved in this incident. He asked, "Where is the third elder of the Pei family?"

Yu Tang said: "He left early because of something."

"Then we will go and thank the third elder of the Pei family after we return to the city." Yu Wen said, and he still thanked Li Jun and Shen Fang very sincerely, "Although the two gentlemen came a little late, their desire to save people is the same. Don't be humble, you two must come to my humble abode for a drink later, so that I can show my gratitude."

Li Jun and Shen Fang were still exchanging pleasantries when the constable from the yamen came over.

After all, Yu Wen was a scholar and had a small reputation in Lin'an City. He was an acquaintance of the constable of the yamen. With the testimony of Li Jun and Shen Fang, the constable quickly tied up the gangsters. Yu Bo also secretly stuffed a few pieces of silver into the constable's pocket, asking the constable not to bring the matter to Yu Tang, and to drink together when they returned to the city. The constable acted quickly and took the gangsters back to the yamen first.

Li Jun and Shen Fang also wanted to leave after seeing this, and said, "Xiao Wan and the others were very worried after hearing about this. If it weren't for their poor riding skills, they would have followed us. Let's go back and tell them."

Yu Wen thought that they would go to the Wei family later, so he wondered whether he should thank Li Jun and Shen Fang another day. However, Yu Tang said, "There is no one else here. Please stay and have a cup of tea at our house. I have something to say to Mr. Li."

Li Jun and Shen Fang looked at each other, thought for a moment, and both agreed.

The group went to the Yu family's old house.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang didn't know what had happened. They just knew that there were guests in the front yard and didn't pay much attention to it.

Yu Tang invited Li Jun and Shen Fang to sit in the hall, and invited his fifth uncle to come over, and told everyone what his seventh uncle had done.

Everyone was stunned. The fifth great-uncle was the first to jump up and said in disbelief: "Impossible! How is it possible? He is such an honest man, how could he do such a thing? Niece, did you hear it wrong?"

The second person to jump up was Li Jun.

His face flushed, and he said, "No, it shouldn't be like this! How could my mother do such a thing that would bring disgrace upon her? Even if you married into our family, we would become enemies... My mother would never treat me like this!"

Even Yu Wen thought this was ridiculous: "Could it be that someone has bad intentions and wants to frame the Li family? This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly."

Yu Bo came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes! You can't say such things carelessly. If someone really interferes, then we are wrongly accusing the Li family."

Only Yu Yuan and Shen Fang remained silent.

Yu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, while Shen Fang looked at Li Jun and then at Yu Tang. Finally, his eyes darkened and he fixed his gaze on Yu Tang.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know once we find my seventh uncle and the government arrests the relevant people." Yu Tang said calmly, "We can't just let this go. If it happens the first time, there will be a second time. If we don't find out who's behind this, we'll have to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Li Jun's face turned even redder, as if it was dripping with blood. He stammered, "Ms. Yu, you, you don't believe me?"

Yu Tang said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. What matters is who did it. The means are too dirty and despicable. No matter who it is, it is impossible to tolerate it."

Li Jun stood up suddenly and wanted to say something angrily, but he didn't know what he thought of. The corners of his mouth twitched but he didn't say anything.

Shen Fang stood up and said, "Just as Miss Yu said, there must be evidence for this matter. It's useless for us to say anything now. It just so happens that Master Yu has something to do this afternoon, so we might as well go home for now. When the seventh uncle in your mansion is found and there is news from the government, it won't be too late to talk about this matter."

Yu Wen felt that it was too rude for Li Jun and Shen Fang to come to rescue Yu Tang, but in the end Yu Tang still suspected them. He said in shame, "How could this be..."

"Uncle!" Yu Yuan suddenly stood up and interrupted Yu Wen, saying, "Master Li and Master Shen are not strangers either. It is important to find Seventh Uncle first."

Li Jun agreed loudly, "Master Yu, Master Yu is right. I think it is more important to find your seventh uncle as soon as possible."
