Chapter 320: Visiting (Update 1)
Su Peier said worriedly, "Yes!"
Judging from the current situation, that group of people must be coming for Miss Ye Er. If they find out, then...
There was no sign of panic on Ye Chutang's face, and he yawned lightly.
"I didn't do anything, why should I hide?"
Su Peier: “…”
She really didn't expect Ye Chutang to say such words so confidently. If she hadn't waited anxiously for most of the night, she would have believed it.
"Then...they won't check here, right?"
Miss Ye Er can be so calm, it is obvious that she is confident in her heart, maybe... she didn't leave any trace last night?
Seeing her nervous expression, Ye Chutang chuckled and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's not for me."
It was Chen Yanchuan who did it, what does it have to do with Ye Chutang?
Su Pei'er naturally didn't know what she was thinking. After hearing her say that, she finally felt relieved.
"That's good, that's good!"
The emperor is far away here, and if you really meet those rude people, they are likely to do anything.
Seeing that Ye Chutang's eyes were still slightly tired, Su Pei'er whispered: "Then, then you continue to rest, I won't disturb you, I will make some food later--"
"No need." Ye Chutang shook his head, lifted the quilt and stood up.
Su Peier asked curiously: "What are you doing..."
“Here they come.”
"……who?"
Su Pei'er's question was soon answered.
Knock knock!
There was a strong knock on the door from outside.
"Is anyone there?"
Su Pei'er's heart skipped a beat, and she understood instantly - it was the people from the mine who came to her door!
She panicked immediately and clutched her handkerchief tightly: "Second Miss Ye, how about you hide yourself for a while?"
It would be terrible if they found out the trick!
Ye Chutang put on his boots slowly and took a look outside. Then he smiled and said, "You have a strong style of doing things."
Although Shiluan City is just a small place, the people working in the mines should not be qualified to investigate door to door like this.
The fact that they could do this only meant that the government officials in Shiluan City had already been under their control.
The little maid heard the sound and went to open the door.
Squeak——
When the maid saw several burly men standing outside the door, she was startled and stammered, "Who are you looking for?"
The man in front of her looked at her and then looked towards the yard.
"Something happened at the mine last night, and several people were buried. We came here to look for their families. Is there anyone from your family at the mine?"
The little maid shook her head like a rattle: "No, no! There is only the girl and me in our family, no one else!"
She was young and looked timid, and it certainly didn't look like she had anything to do with this matter.
"Your girl?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Pei'er pushed the door and walked out.
When several men saw her, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
One of them suddenly thought of something and asked with narrowed eyes, "You look unfamiliar, are you new here?"
Su Peier stepped forward and bowed: "We have been here for more than a month, but we don't go out much, so it's normal that you haven't seen us."
Another person touched his chin and said, "I heard that a beautiful woman came before. I think it must be her."
Su Pei'er's eyelids twitched slightly and she was secretly shocked.
Although Shiluan City is small, there are many people coming and going every day, and these people seem to be very clear about all the situations in the city.
How could this be an ordinary mine!
She smiled at a few people, with a bit of restraint.
"My family had an accident and I have no other relatives. When I passed by here, I thought it was a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains, so I stayed here."
This sounds reasonable.
Seeing that both the master and the servant were weak women, the few people did not continue to ask questions and turned away.
The little maid covered her chest, still feeling scared: "These people are too tyrannical! They actually came to my house to look for someone like this?"
Su Peier pursed her lips and said, "Forget it. These things have nothing to do with us. Don't bother with them."
She turned back to her room and was about to tell Ye Chutang what had just happened, but she saw that her appearance had changed again.
At first glance, he looks thin. An ordinary young man.
"Second Miss Ye?" Su Peier opened her eyes slightly wide. She really didn't know why Ye Chutang's appearance had completely changed when she came back after just being out for a while.
At the same time, she also understood a little bit in her heart why Ye Chutang was not panicked at all when he heard those people coming to his house.
Even if Ye Chutang stood in front of that group of people now, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize him!
Ye Chutang took out a purse from his bosom, and then took out a stack of silver bills and placed them on the table.
"This is one thousand taels. You will have to spend money if you stay here. Please accept this."
Su Peier quickly refused: "How can this be possible? You have already given a lot before, how can we ask for more? Don't worry, I can play the pipa, and I can also embroider handkerchiefs and other women's work. The money I earn from these is enough--"
"Just take it."
Ye Chutang shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a while. This money is an advance payment."
Su Pei'er's life was saved by Ye Chutang. Even if he asked her to sacrifice her life, she would not hesitate. How could she accept the money?
"But this is too much, I—"
Ye Chutang sorted it out and examined the person in the bronze mirror. After making sure that there were no flaws, he turned around and said with a smile: "Managing people and doing favors, which one doesn't cost money? Just use it, I'll come again after a while."
Su Pei'er was stunned, and finally understood what Ye Chutang meant.
It seems that Shiluan City is really hiding a big secret, so much so that Miss Ye Er is going to take so much trouble to plan it?
She knew she couldn't refuse anymore, so she bit her lip and finally knelt down to salute.
"Pei'er will definitely live up to Second Miss Ye's trust."
Seeing Ye Chutang was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you going back? But those people must still be investigating now, how about you wait a little longer?"
Ye Chutang curved his lips and smiled.
"We are here to see the excitement at this time, so we certainly can't miss it."
If you don't go and see it with your own eyes, how will you know who is the hand behind Shiluan City?
…
In a house somewhere in the south of the city.
A man with a scar on his face looked fierce, staring coldly at the people kneeling in front of him, and said sinisterly:
"Haven't found it yet?"
Those people all had fear on their faces.
"Please spare my life, sir! We have already searched the entire city! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will definitely find that person!"
"Yes, yes! Please give us a little more time! That man is very good at martial arts. He was able to break into our mine without anyone noticing. He must have come prepared! We have deployed our people at each city gate. We will definitely catch him!"
Scarface narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are they awake?"
