Chapter 328 Return to Beijing (Update 1)
Ye Yunfeng was stunned: "Sister... not angry?"
Ye Chutang said nothing, just lowered his head and sipped his tea.
Seeing her attitude, Ye Yunfeng's heart finally settled down a lot.
He came forward and said, "Speaking of which, the county magistrate's mansion is really interesting! On the surface, it doesn't look special, but the servants in the mansion all have light steps and long breaths. From what I see, they clearly have some kung fu skills!"
Ye Jingyan seemed to be thinking about something: "After all, it is the county magistrate's office, so it doesn't seem surprising to recruit a few people who are good at fighting."
"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have come back so early!"
Ye Yunfeng narrowed his eyes.
"Let's not talk about the others, but the personal attendant guarding the door of the county magistrate's room is not a simple person. He looks ordinary, but he is extremely vigilant. It is because of him that I gave up the plan to continue investigating and came back directly."
Ye Chutang raised an eyebrow: "Did he notice you?"
Ye Yunfeng shook his head: "That's not the case, but if I get closer, I can't say for sure."
"oh?"
Ye Chutang became interested now.
Ah Feng was extremely talented in martial arts, and since she had been teaching him personally over the past few years, it was impossible for ordinary people to notice his movements.
The fact that he was so cautious showed that the other party did have some real skills.
A county magistrate... specially invited such a person to be by his side. What was his intention?
Ye Jingyan suddenly said: "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be called Gao Yi."
Ye Yunfeng turned his head in surprise: "Third brother, do you know this person?"
Ye Jingyan shook his head: "It's just that I've heard Pan Ying mention it before."
Although Pan Ying cannot compare with Ye Xiting, he is actually considered to be quite skilled among the people below.
He originally thought that he would be highly valued, but he didn't expect that this person would appear out of nowhere and steal all his limelight.
It is said that Gao Yi once saved the life of the county magistrate.
Pan Ying disliked this man very much, so he took the initiative to apply to be transferred to guard the city gate.
Ye Yunfeng touched his chin and said, "With this person's ability, it's really a waste of talent for him to stay in a small county magistrate's office. Moreover, the county magistrate's office looks very simple from top to bottom, without any money or profit. I really don't know what Gao Yi is after."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly: "Simple?"
This spring news in the snow is not cheap.
Seeing her expression, Ye Yunfeng quickly understood: "What does Sister mean... Is there a problem in the county magistrate's office?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "You think they really don't know about the grain sales?"
Ye Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized——
"Yes! Wasn't it Pan Ying who helped with this?"
What could happen in this small city of Qingzhou that could be hidden from the people in power?
Ye Jingyan said: "No wonder my elder sister went on a secret trip this time and asked me to take Xiaowu out to play and walk around the yard every day."
I'm afraid that here, there are countless eyes watching them secretly!
Thinking of this, Ye Jingyan suddenly felt a chill on his back.
——I thought that this time when I returned home, I could finally rest in peace for a while, but who would have thought that this place is no longer a peaceful place!
Ye Chutang pinched Xiaowu's face and saw that her face, which had lost some weight due to illness, had become rounder. Then he smiled slightly:
"They do their thing, and we do our thing, without disturbing each other or worrying about anything."
Since she dared to come back, she had already made all preparations.
Ye Jingyan couldn't calm down, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Ye Yunfeng couldn't help but ask: "What are Sister's plans for the future——"
"Go back to Beijing."
"Return to Beijing?" Ye Yunfeng was very surprised. "Sister, don't you plan to continue investigating here?"
Anyone can see that there is definitely something wrong here, especially when it involves Ye Heng, so we must be extra cautious.
"Who said we can't investigate if we leave here?" Ye Chutang asked back.
They came back this time just to bury their parents and brother. Now the time has come, if they don't return to Beijing for a long time, it will arouse suspicion.
Ye Jingyan seemed to be thinking: "It's a pity that Ye Heng has been exiled to Tongbei. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to investigate next."
It’s easy to imagine that the so-called “grain merchant” hasn’t come yet because something happened on Ye Heng’s side.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "In this case, we must return to the capital first to avoid alerting the enemy."
Ye Jingyan's eyes lit up and he suddenly understood.
Ye Yunfeng also understood and pounded his palm: "Sister is right! Let's go back first. As long as we wait patiently, we don't have to worry about those people not showing up!"
Ye Chutang glanced at him with a smile.
"It seems that you have made a lot of progress since you returned to Beijing."
Now I have so much more patience.
It was rare for Ye Yunfeng to be praised by his elder sister, and his eyebrows were filled with pride: "Of course!"
Ye Chutang nodded and looked outside again: "In that case, we will set off tomorrow."
The two brothers responded in unison. Xiaowu raised his head, blinked his eyes, and pinched another piece of peanut biscuit over.
——My sister rushed back at night and was still hungry!
Ye Chutang took a bite of a piece from her little hand, and when the sweet taste melted between his lips and teeth, he said, "Xiaowu, I'm giving tomorrow's portion to Sister. Thank you."
Xiaowu:?
Ye Chutang said this and ate the remaining piece.
Xiaowu: ???
Ye Chutang pretended not to notice her eager look, and planned to go back to take a nap while holding the little baby.
Ye Jingyan couldn't suppress his worry, and finally asked, "Sister?"
Ye Chutang turned around.
Ye Jingyan looked at her and asked, "Sister, did you gain anything from your trip this time?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfeng's heart immediately tightened and he looked at Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang thought about it, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Yes."
Not small at all.
Ye Yunfeng was relieved when he heard that, and said with a smile: "That's good. I knew that if Sister personally took action, it would be successful."
Ye Chutang turned to leave, but then he remembered something and turned back to remind her, "By the way, have someone keep a portion of all the wine that has been brewed."
Ye Yunfeng was curious: "Sister, do you want to drink?"
Ye Chutang shook his head: "Give it away."
Ye Jingyan looked at her instantly: "Who are you going to send off, sister?"
Ye Chutang couldn't help but hear someone's low and lazy words in his mind, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
"Creditor."
…
On the second day, Ye Chutang and his party set off for Beijing.
When Pan Ying heard the news, he came specially to see him off.
He stood beside the carriage, and said with emotion: "Now that you are gone, we don't know when we can see each other again."
Ye Jingyan clasped his fists politely and said, "Thank you, Brother Pan, for taking care of me during this period. My father, mother, and brother are here, and we will come back often in the future."
Pan Ying opened his mouth and looked at the face in front of him, which was extremely similar to the high-spirited young man in his memory. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and raised his hand to pat Ye Jingyan's shoulder.
"Don't worry! I will take good care of them for you!"
Ye Jingyan felt warm in his heart: "Thank you very much."
A gust of west wind blew, rolling up the car curtains, and the ancient city gate became looming.
Ye Chutang took one last look, returned to the carriage, and closed his eyes.
"Let's go."
