Chapter 144 Reading (Part 2)
When Ye Heng heard that Han Yao was coming, he knew something was wrong. He was thinking about how to get rid of him, but he didn't expect that the other party would kneel down in public.
He frowned and immediately ordered the butler to help him up: "Han Yao, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to go through such a big ceremony?"
Han Yao pushed the man away, knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Uncle Ye, you are the only one who can save my father now! You are also in the Dali Temple. As long as you are willing to help, you will definitely be able to clear my father's name!"
Ye Heng looked embarrassed: "I haven't been on duty these days. Your father's case was investigated by Lord Suxu, who was personally appointed by the emperor. I have no right to ask about it, so how can I help?"
At this time, he was somewhat glad that he had been ostracized by other people in the Dali Temple during this period of time.
Otherwise, if he was involved in Han Tong's case, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
Han Yao's heart sank when he heard his words.
He was not stupid, how could he not see Ye Heng's refusal? But - now he only had this one option, no matter what, he could not give up easily!
"Uncle Ye, I know this matter is difficult for you, but you know very well what kind of person my father is. How could he be so bold as to make such a big mistake! He was clearly wronged!"
He knelt down and took two steps, saying hurriedly: "Uncle Ye, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to say a few good words for my father, so that his life will be easier during this period. When the truth comes out and my father is cleared of the grievances, our whole family will definitely come to thank you and will always remember your kindness!"
Ye Heng was so angry that he almost laughed.
If it weren't for Han Yao, that unreliable guy, would he have fallen into this situation? Now he actually has the nerve to ask him for help, it's really ridiculous!
Besides, it was the Dali Temple that went directly to the Han family to arrest people that day, which proved that they definitely had a lot of evidence. Han Tong's case was basically set in stone, with no room for maneuver. Wouldn't it be a pain for you to rush to help at this time?
Ye Heng put his hands behind his back, his face serious: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this matter involves a huge amount of things, my ability is limited, and now it's in this situation, I really can't do anything. You should go back!"
As he said this, he turned his back and waved his hand.
"see a visitor out!"
The butler immediately winked at several servants, and taking advantage of the moment when Han Yao was distracted, they rushed forward, surrounded him, and tried to drag him out.
"Mr. Han, please go back!"
Han Yao gritted his teeth, deep resentment and determination welling up in his eyes.
He had long thought that Ye Heng might not be willing to help, but he did not expect the other party's attitude to be so firm that even kneeling down to beg him would not help.
In this case...there's no need to save face anymore!
Thinking of this, Han Yao suddenly exerted force and pushed the people around him out. He stared at Ye Heng with his eyes and suddenly laughed coldly.
"I should have thought of it earlier. It's better to ask anyone for help than you! After all, you are a person who can abandon even your own elder brother. You are so heartless and ungrateful. What can you do to others? "
Ye Jingyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The smile on Ye Yunfeng's face disappeared instantly, and a chill swept over him. He lowered his arms and asked, "What did you say?"
At the same time, Ye Heng's heart was also filled with alarm bells!
He immediately turned around and shouted in shock and anger: "Han Yao! Stop talking nonsense here!"
Without waiting for Han Yao to answer, Ye Heng raised his voice and said sternly: "I think you are really crazy! What are you guys still doing? Drag this slanderous person out immediately!"
"Second uncle."
Ye Jingyan suddenly spoke, turned his head and looked at him, with a cold look in his eyes.
"What did he mean by that just now?"
…
Cicadas were chirping and there was not a breath of wind. The scorching sun was shining through the branches, casting scattered rays of light on the ground.
Ye Chutang stood by the window with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his slender white wrists and ten long fingers that looked like they were carefully carved from the finest white jade.
The book "Spring Sunshine Mountain Records" was quietly placed on the table.
Xiaowu was sitting on a chair nearby, his chin supported by his hands, a look of curiosity on his face.
——My sister said before that this book is difficult to open and read, and I thought she would put it aside, but I didn’t expect her to take it out again today.
Could it be that sister already knows how to read this book?
Ye Chutang turned around and took out a sealed bottle of wine from the cabinet. He slapped the seal with his palm, and a strong smell of wine wafted out.
Xiaowu opened his eyes wide - isn’t this the wine that his sister brought back from Jiangling?
This wine was not bought, but brewed by my sister herself.
Fourth brother liked this wine the first time he tasted it, but unfortunately elder sister was strict and never allowed him to drink too much except on New Year’s Eve.
Now, how come...
Ye Chutang poured a bowl of wine, which was clear, rich and long-lasting.
Then, she took a wolf hair brush and dipped the tip of the brush directly into the ink.
Xiaowu opened his eyes wide.
Ye Chutang opened the first page, placed a thin piece of wood underneath, and then gently swept the paper with the brush dipped in wine.
The paper was quickly soaked, and Ye Chutang immediately changed to a thin blade and rubbed the back of the blade across the paper.
Finally, the corners of the paper became uneven and wrinkled. Ye Chutang flicked it with his fingers, and the two layers of paper that were tightly stuck together separated.
Xiaowu covered his mouth in surprise, his big, bright black eyes flashing with amazement.
——Sister actually separated the two pages of paper intact!
She quickly leaned forward to take a look. Perhaps because of the strong liquor, the paper was soaked and the edges of the ink words were slightly smudged. However, Ye Chutang was extremely careful and the impact was small. The words were still clearly visible.
Xiaowu quickly scanned the words again, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
She raised her little face and looked at Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that this shop is quite profitable?"
Xiaowu nodded vigorously immediately.
Although I have only read one page, I can clearly see that there is a huge difference between this account and the one that my third brother copied before!
If the whole book is like this, then...
Ye Chutang separated the two pages, waited for them to dry, and then turned to the second one.
…
Fengling Lane, Ye family.
Han Yao's words shocked everyone and there was dead silence.
Ye Heng looked fierce but was actually weak. He cursed angrily:
"How should I know what he meant? He was just angry because I couldn't get his favor, so he deliberately made up these slanders against me! His father was arrested, he must be crazy! How can you believe the words of a madman!"
As he said that, Ye Heng actually rushed over with big strides, grabbed Han Yao by the collar, and pretended to drag him out.
"If you keep talking nonsense here, don't blame me for being rude! Get out of here!"
Unexpectedly, Han Yao grabbed his hand and showed a strange and crazy expression.
"Why, are you scared? It just so happens that Ye Jingyan and the others are here today, so let's make it clear! At the beginning--"
