Chapter 29: Beijing is dangerous, don't return
Ye Chutang shook his head: "We have only got a few clues so far. We have to continue investigating to get the real truth."
Hearing this, Ye Jingyan was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it was already very difficult to get any clues. After all, the mastermind behind the scenes was very cautious back then. Moreover, three years had passed, and it would not be that easy to investigate again.
He understood something and asked tentatively, "So... the clue is in the capital?"
…
Chen Yanchuan put down the book in his hand and casually placed it on a small table beside him.
Lian Zhou was a little curious: "Master, is there any problem with this book?"
Chen Yanchuan shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's just an ordinary book."
Doctor Ye was extremely wary of him.
However, this was also within his expectations. Ye Chutang was not an ordinary woman, so how could she not guess his real purpose of borrowing books?
When he tried to test her, she showed it to him openly: I won’t show you any of the books you want.
The two of them knew each other's thoughts very well, and although they were too straightforward, it saved a lot of trouble.
Lian Zhou didn't know what his master was thinking, so he brought up another matter.
"By the way, the news that those people failed to assassinate you last time should have been reported back to the capital. Do you think we should continue to wait here?"
Chen Yanchuan had anticipated this and said with a faint smile: "No rush."
The person who wants him dead should be the most panicked one after failing twice in a row, right?
Chen Yanchuan added: "Besides, isn't it interesting to stay here?"
…
The Ye's Clinic returned to its usual peace and tranquility, as if nothing had happened. However, things were not going so well for the Cao family tonight.
Bang!
Cao Deping smashed his favorite teacup and was furious: "Cunning! That Ye Chutang is really cunning!"
I thought everything would go according to plan, but who knew the final result would be like this!
Not only did he fail to bring down the Ye Clinic, but he almost exposed the Cao family as well!
What’s more important is that my cousin was also implicated!
When he learned that Ye Chutang had proved his innocence in the clinic, he knew something was wrong and hurried to find his cousin, but was stopped outside the magistrate's residence.
This was the first time he was rejected, and the servants' attitudes were clearly filled with disgust. What was there to not understand?
Cao Deping had no choice but to return home dejected, feeling so angry and panicked that he had nowhere to vent his rage.
What made me angry was that such a perfect plan actually allowed Ye Chutang to escape safely!
What panicked him was that this was the first time he asked his cousin for help and something went wrong. He knew that the county magistrate must have taken his anger out on her.
this--
Cao Deping paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
"father?"
Hearing the noise, Cao Chengwen hurried over.
He closed the door carefully. He had never seen Cao Deping so irritated before, so he could only persuade him, "Dad, don't worry. Even though this thing didn't work out, as long as those people don't betray us, we'll be fine!"
Cao Deping was furious: "That's easy to say!"
Those people were bribed temporarily, how tight-lipped could they be?
Once it gets leaked, we'll be in big trouble!
He became more and more angry, pointing at Cao Chengwen and shouting: "If it wasn't for me to clean up your mess, why would there be so much trouble!"
Cao Chengwen's eyes flickered, and he felt guilty and indignant.
He couldn't help but said, "...My son has reminded you before that Ye Chutang is not easy to deal with, but you didn't take it seriously at that time..."
Now I blame everything on him...
"You!"
Cao Deping was so angry that his face turned blue.
If he didn't have only this one son, he would never care so much!
Seeing this, Cao Chengwen knew that he could not continue to provoke him. After all, he still wanted to continue to be the eldest son of the Cao family.
He quickly advised, "Dad, you really don't have to worry too much. Didn't you say before that the county magistrate has a good chance of getting promoted this time? Even for his own sake, he will definitely suppress this matter!"
Cao Deping narrowed his eyes.
This seems to make some sense. If the Cao family is investigated, they will definitely investigate the cousin as well.
At that time, how should the county magistrate deal with himself?
Apart from anything else, my career is ruined after this incident!
So no matter what, he will definitely cover up this matter!
Thinking of this, Cao Deping's emotions finally calmed down a little.
He pondered for a long time and decided to cut off contact with his cousin Liu Yiyi during this period of time.
Now we can only respond to ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged. As long as we keep quiet, everything will be back to normal after the storm has passed.
The Cao family is still an unshakable powerful family in Jiangling.
Cao Deping took a deep breath, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
"As long as Liu Si dies, all these things will be over."
…
The night was dark, and a bright moon hung obliquely in the sky.
The cool moonlight spread along the window and illuminated the ground.
Ye Chutang looked at the letter in his hand again in the candlelight.
The handwriting above is vigorous and powerful, with flying strokes, which shows how excited the writer was when he wrote these words.
Ye Chutang's eyes swept across the line and finally stopped at the end.
"The situation in the capital is treacherous and dangerous now. It will be a long and difficult road to find out the truth about your father and brother's death. But don't worry, I'll take care of everything. This is a dangerous situation, don't come!"
There is no signature at the end, only the word "Xu".
Ye Chutang put down the letter.
This letter, sent from the capital, is extremely precious, and contains earnest teachings, every word of which is sincere.
She knew that Xu Fengchi really didn't want them to go back because that would mean too much danger.
But……
She could never stay out of it.
They were her father, mother, and brother. She watched them being killed in front of her with her own eyes. The sky was freezing cold, but the blood was boiling hot.
That day she promised her brother that she would take good care of Xiaowu and the others.
It was also on that day that she promised herself that she would find out everything and avenge them in the future!
She always keeps her word.
When she asked Ah Yan those questions today, she did not show him the letter because she had made up her mind.
Ye Chutang picked up the letter and placed it next to the candle. The warm orange flames shot up and quickly devoured the letter.
A wisp of green smoke dissipated silently.
She took out the reply letter she had written during the day and put it into the prepared envelope.
She must go back to the capital!
…
The final result of the Liu Si case finally came out: he was beheaded in public three days later.
Zhou suffered a severe blow and became seriously ill.
Aunt Yang went to help take care of the child for two days and came back sighing.
"She is the only woman left with a baby who is only a few years old. What should she do?"
Not long after, Ye Chutang came with some money, intending to help, but was rejected by Zhou.
"Dr. Ye, thank you so much, but we don't need this anymore." She smiled bitterly, "We are planning to leave."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly.
"Leave? Where to?"
