Chapter 233 Want to Stay
The bad thing is that Jiang Hongyu is a seventh-rank captain appointed by the imperial court. Although his rank is not high, he has a reputation in the capital.
The young master in brocade robes was still thinking about how to smooth things over when Fu Chengyun spoke again: "What? Are you just looking for excuses to make up your mind? Are you thinking of how to rob and destroy someone's family?"
"Is there anything in your home that can be called a treasure?" Fu Chengyun looked at Ye Mingzhu again.
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what he meant and shook her head: "We are just ordinary people, where did the treasure come from?"
Fu Chengyun didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at the young master in brocade robes: "No matter what your background is, in front of me, no one knows how to rob others' things at will."
The young master in brocade robe finally remembered who the person in front of him was when Fu Chengyun called himself "Master" over and over again.
"Are you, Master Fu?"
Hearing this address, Fu Chengyun nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you do have some connections and know who I am. So why don't you leave?"
The young master in brocade robe felt as if his throat was stuffed with cotton and he couldn't speak. After a few moments of silence, he clasped his fists towards Fu Chengyun and left with the arrogant servant.
He had just received a letter from his father, asking him to avoid Fu Chengyun, who came from the capital. He said that this young master claimed to punish evil and promote good, and liked to meddle in other people's affairs. However, his status was high, and most people were unwilling to mess with him.
He originally thought that his father was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to meet Fu Chengyun as soon as he went out, and Fu Chengyun was really as nosy as the legend said.
After leaving the restaurant, the arrogant servant asked, "Master, what should we do?"
The young master in brocade robes frowned for a long time before saying, "Find someone to keep an eye on that family and quietly go to her house to investigate."
Judging from Ye Mingzhu's reaction just now, the young master in brocade robe thought that she had never seen the military book. However, they had demolished the entire house and even dug three feet into the ground, but they still couldn't find any trace of the military book. So where did the military book go?
The arrogant servant knew that this matter was serious, so he immediately arranged for people to investigate Ye Mingzhu's house.
But they never imagined that the military book they wanted was in Ye Mingzhu's space. Even if they searched all the books in the house, they couldn't find it.
In the restaurant, Fu Chengyun waved his folding fan and asked, "I just saved you, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
Although Ye Mingzhu didn't have a good first impression of Fu Chengyun, it was a fact that he had just saved her. She asked the waiter to arrange a private room for them and bring the menu from the restaurant.
Fu Chengyun didn't even look at the menu. He just asked the waiter to pick out a few special dishes and sent him down.
After the waiter left, Fu Chengyun looked Ye Mingzhu up and down, his eyes full of curiosity: "Tell me the truth, did you get the treasure that person just mentioned?"
Ye Yun'an and Ye Wu looked at Ye Mingzhu nervously. She asked, "Master Fu, do you think I took the treasure?"
"My feelings are not important," Fu Chengyun said with a half-smile, "I'm just afraid that person just now thought you took the treasure."
This is what bothers Ye Mingzhu, but she won't let Fu Chengyun know.
And according to her observation, the man was not looking for gold, silver or jewelry. It was probably either an ancient book or a military book, and the possibility of a military book was greater.
"If he was sure that we had taken the treasure, would he still let us sit here safely?" Ye Mingzhu asked back.
No matter who asked, she just didn't take the treasure. No matter whether it was an ancient book or a military book, she would not take it out in a short time.
Anyway, on the surface she was still a painter of Linglong Pavilion, with the share of Linglong Pavilion, plus she also had a farm, which was enough to support their family's expenses.
Whether someone asked or they came to see for themselves, they could not find any trace that the Ye family had taken the treasure.
Fu Chengyun hinted at it for a long time, but Ye Mingzhu refused to admit that she had taken the treasure. He was skeptical: "Ye Mingzhu, think about it. If you really took the treasure, you will need our protection. You can't hide this from us."
Ye Mingzhu rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face remained calm: "If Master Fu doesn't believe me, you can ask my husband."
At this point, Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Wu next to him and said, "Fifth Brother, are you guys taking a break? I remember Brother Yu said you guys won't be leaving the island in the short term?"
Ye Wu glanced at Fu Chengyun and laughed: "Everyone else is on the island. Master Fu came down to the island to do something."
In order to prevent Ye Mingzhu from asking any more questions, Ye Wu gave her a wink, and Ye Mingzhu understood immediately.
It seems that Fu Chengyun can no longer hold back on the island.
"I am indeed here to do some business. There is not enough food on the island, so I came down to buy some." Fu Chengyun saw Ye Mingzhu smile and hurriedly explained, but he seemed to be trying to cover up his mistake.
Ye Mingzhu was about to speak when the waiter brought the dishes they had just ordered.
After the waiter left, Ye Mingzhu said, "Master Fu is right. We dare not ask more questions."
Fu Chengyun felt a little guilty and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food: "Eat food, eat food."
While eating, he wondered what kind of excuse he could come up with to stay for two days. He was really fed up with the life on the island. Not only was the food and drink simple, there was not even a house, only a simple tent. He had never slept on the ground in his life.
"Fifth brother, can you accompany me to go out and take a look?" Ye Mingzhu whispered to Ye Wu.
Ye Wu glanced at Fu Chengyun and said, "Master Fu, I'll go out with my sister for a while."
Fu Chengyun thought Ye Mingzhu was frightened and didn't dare to go out by herself, so he nodded and said, "Come back soon."
Ye Wu agreed.
The two men left the private room, walked a few steps to the side, avoided the crowd, and stood in the corner.
Ye Mingzhu's face showed worry: "Fifth brother, how is Brother Yu doing on the island?"
A smile appeared on Ye Wu's face: "Hongyu is living well on the island, don't worry."
Jiang Hongyu was skilled in martial arts, and after he showed off a few of his skills, the soldiers from the capital no longer dared to stab him. He was also half a local, and got along well with the miners, so no one caused trouble for the time being.
Ye Mingzhu felt relieved. "That's a relief for me. How many days are you going to stay here?"
Ye Wu sighed, looked towards the private room, and lowered his voice again: "Master Fu came from the capital and is not used to life on the island. Hongyu asked me to accompany him out to see the island. We will be back to the island in two days at most."
"It's getting dark outside. Are you not going back to the village today?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
Ye Wu sighed again: "Alas, Master Fu doesn't want to go back to the village, and he doesn't want to stay in the inn, so we came out to see if there is a better house."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "There are only three or two inns in our town, and they are all the same."
"Mingzhu, can we stay at your house?" Ye Wu suddenly had an idea: "If those people see that Master Fu is staying at your house and know that we have a special relationship, will they not dare to bother you?"
