Ye Moxun gave the order, and the people of Songlin Village did not dare to delay. They quickly arrived, and an hour later, everyone had arrived.
Ah Zhu and Bai Yulian, Shui Sheng and Bai Yulan, Lin Yu and Xia He, Zhao Zhongnian and Zhu Xiu...
Even Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Qingling came over.
Ye Moxun's expression was serious and heavy. "...That's how it is. You've all heard that my uncle's brain has been damaged due to the injury, and his personality has changed drastically. We never expected things to develop to such a serious extent."
“How can we prove that the man is the General? The General is such a good person, he would never do such a thing.” Ah Zhu and the other young men refused to believe that Zhong Qingyi would send someone to kill them.
Ye Moxun had already drawn Zhong Qingyi's portrait, and then had the bandits who attacked last night identify it.
The bandits looked at the portrait and said it was him. "He sent us here, saying he was going to kill everyone in the Zhong family and leave no one alive."
Now everyone had no choice but to believe it.
"Uncle has been recruiting soldiers and horses all the way, it seems he is going to rebel, so we must hurry up and stop him, otherwise we will be the first to suffer. We will not only have to endure our uncle's killings, but also the court's retaliation," Ye Moxun said in a deep voice.
The crowd: Have they been bearing too much?
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Zhongnian frowned. He had finally found a wife and children and a home, and he really didn't want to live that kind of wandering life again.
"You all go back and think about it first. My aunt, Tantan, and I will also discuss it, and we'll come up with a plan tomorrow." Ye Moxun sent them away first, as this matter still needed careful consideration.
After everyone left, Song Zhuiyan buried her face in her arms on the table and wept bitterly, "...I wonder how my husband is now. Could he have been possessed without any explanation? Is his soul still there? Can he ever come back?"
That's what she's most worried about.
Ye Moxun and Song Tantan both fell silent. They were worried, but there was really nothing they could do at the moment.
After crying with Song Zhuiyan for a while, the two began to discuss their next move. They decided that they should set off for the capital tomorrow to find Zhong Qingyi, lest he assassinate Emperor Kangping.
The most pressing issue now is that they can't kill Zhong Qingyi, nor do they have a way to bring her soul back.
"I don't know if my uncle will be able to come back. What if he can't?" Song Tantan wiped her eyes, feeling very sad.
Ye Moxun was also saddened. His uncle's life had been so full of twists and turns, and he had never had a good day. Fate had been so unfair to him.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhuiyan recovered the fastest. After dinner, she said to Ye Moxun and Song Tantan, "We're leaving tomorrow. Time waits for no one. I will not allow anyone to do anything immoral under the guise of my husband."
The next day, Ye Moxun said to the others, "We have packed our things and will set off for the capital this afternoon. You'd better come with us."
To avoid the court venting its anger on everyone else because of Zhong Qingyi, they might end up being wiped out.
“But we have families to support and many shops to run. Are we just going to abandon all our businesses and leave?” No one could accept it for a moment.
"Which is more important, money or life? You decide for yourselves. I've already warned you, if something really happens, don't blame us. No, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to blame us then." Ye Moxun said coldly.
After a noisy debate for half an hour, they finally decided to leave together. They believed that following Ye Moxun would not be a mistake, and they would all go together to stop the Great General.
The incident hasn't happened yet, and there's still room for maneuver. If they go to the capital together, they can help each other and resolve the matter more quickly.
Only Mu Sheng was not planning to leave. He said, "My father-in-law's entire family is in Fengcheng, and there are a bunch of distant relatives. It's impossible to take them all with me. They don't want to leave either, so I won't leave. You guys go ahead. If something really happens, send a message by carrier pigeon so I can escape in advance."
Besides Mu Sheng, there were three other families from Songlin Village who didn't want to leave. Ye Moxun didn't force them. He had already explained the pros and cons to them, and it was their freedom to leave or stay.
The group didn't leave the city together; they left in batches, all under the guise of escorting goods. The officials in Xifeng were still Ye Moxun's men, and they didn't question his actions.
They left the city without incident and, after a long journey, arrived in Changye City in less than a month. Ye Moxun instructed the others to settle in Changye City and not to follow them to the capital.
"That won't do. It's not safe for just a few of you to go. What if something happens?" Ah Zhu and the others disagreed.
"Too many people going will arouse my uncle's suspicion, and he might speed up the rebellion. Lin Yu and Xia He are more familiar with this place, so everyone should not stay in Changye City in a cluster. Spread out a bit, but not too far apart, so that we can at least keep in touch at any time."
After settling everyone in, Ye Moxun took his family to the capital the next day.
In the capital, Zhong Qingyi has been there for two months. He has not only moved into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion bestowed upon him by the Emperor, but has also obtained the official position of a third-rank general. However, he has not yet been able to reclaim his military power.
At this time, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was bustling with activity. Zhong Qingyi hosted a banquet, and court officials, seeing that he was valued by the emperor, attended the event and presented him with generous gifts.
Besides valuable items, the gifts also included many beautiful women. All the officials knew that his first wife was still in Xifeng and had not come with him, nor did he have any concubines or maids by his side.
So someone with good intentions sent him beautiful women, and he accepted them all.
That evening, after seeing off the guests, Zhong Qingyi went to the backyard to settle in. During the banquet, he took a fancy to a beautiful woman who had been sent over. She was not only young and pretty, but also had a special charm. Her figure and face were exactly to his liking.
He had been in this world for almost a year, and after holding back for so long, he was no longer willing to suppress his desires. Any normal man would have needs.
Those women were all given to him by others. Since they were offered to him, he figured he might as well take advantage of them.
Zhong Qingyi entered the room. The woman he had his eye on had already washed and was waiting for him, now lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt.
As soon as he entered, he hurriedly started taking off his clothes without saying a word. Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Ye Moxun, who was hiding on the roof, sprinkled some powder and knocked him unconscious.
Just as the woman on the bed was about to scream, Song Tantan jumped off the roof and knocked her unconscious with a single blow.
Song Tantan wrapped the woman in a blanket, tied her up, stuffed a cloth in her mouth, and then stuffed her under the bed.
"Let's go, let's take the person out first." Ye Moxun and his group had just arrived today and came to the Duke's mansion to inquire about the situation after dinner.
Unexpectedly, Song Tantan was furious to encounter such a shocking scene upon arrival. "The thing inside is a perverted old man who actually wants to use my uncle's body to molest women. It's disgusting. If I could touch his body, I would castrate him immediately."
The problem is that the body belongs to Zhong Qingyi, but the inner body is still in the modern world, its fate unknown.
What a tragedy! I wonder if my uncle has traveled to the modern world or if his soul has already been reincarnated.
