Chapter 165 Collaboration with the enemy
After one night, the entire Yinbai County had changed. County Magistrate Cui was caught on the spot by Hades, and a lot of evidence of County Magistrate Cui's collaboration with the enemy was confiscated from Cui's mansion.
The county magistrate was imprisoned, waiting for the court to send someone to judge him another day.
As for the family members of the Cui Mansion, they were also put under custody, and Cui Weiyang, the granddaughter of General Cui, and Cui Qingwan were also imprisoned in the Cui Mansion, with someone delivering meals to them every day.
The Ye family, which is related to the Cui Mansion, is also in danger, although there is no clear evidence to prove that they have colluded with the southern barbarians in this accident.
Hades also took control of the Ye Mansion.
Mr. Ye walked around in the study again and again. He didn't expect that Cui Mingzhi would collude with the southern barbarians. When the imperial officials arrived soon, the Ye family would surely be involved.
Ye Xiujun was still in shock at the moment. The incident in Zhaojia Village had already traumatized her. She had finally recovered under the care of Madam Ye and Ning Zhengqing. After the terrifying night yesterday, Ye Xiujun was still mentally unstable.
Although the Ye family employed many servants, they were eventually broken into by bandits. Fortunately, the Ye family had a secret room, and Mrs. Ye took them to hide in the secret room and they escaped, but the house was completely looted.
It's a mess.
Upon hearing that County Magistrate Cui had colluded with the southern barbarians and let the bandits in beforehand, Ye Xiujun was shocked and frightened. In addition to worrying about Mrs. Cui, she was also afraid that this matter would implicate the Ye family. At this moment, she was anxiously waiting for news from Ning Zhengqing.
Ning Zhengqing is County Magistrate Cui's aide. Ye Xiujun is worried about whether he will be in trouble.
Whispers could be heard outside. "I heard that this time, thanks to Shopkeeper Jiang of the Softening Shop, she led us all in resisting the southern barbarians and also provided us with a vital weapon, which is why we are safe and sound."
"Yes, it's all over the streets. I didn't expect County Magistrate Cui to be such a person. A local official would collude with the southern barbarians."
"Hurry up and find a way to leave. This Ye family is definitely not going to end well."
"Yes, yes, it's better to make plans early."
Ye Xiujun couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted, "Where are all the dead people?"
The maids gathered together and poked each other, and Ye Xiujun's maid reluctantly entered Ye Xiujun's boudoir.
This maid was new to Ye Xiujun and didn't have much affection for her. In addition, Ye Xiujun had a bad temper recently and wasn't very nice to the servants.
The maid bowed reluctantly, "Miss, what do you want?"
Ye Xiujun was filled with hatred. Why was Jiang Yutong's issue brought up again this time? She picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at the maid. "Are you dead? I called you for a long time but you didn't come. Didn't you see that the tea was cold?"
The maid was caught off guard and was hit by Ye Xiujun's teacup. She couldn't hold back her anger and shouted, "Do you still think you are a rich lady? Can't you see that the soldiers have surrounded the Ye Mansion? And now you are still showing off your power here? I quit."
After saying that, the maid left. Her mother told her early in the morning that the Ye family was in trouble and they had to leave the Ye family as soon as possible, so she had no worries.
Ye Xiujun didn't expect that a maid would dare to speak loudly to her. She was so angry that she was shaking, "What a rebellion!"
After calling for a long time but no one came in, Ye Xiujun lay on the bed and started crying.
Jiang Yutong is also very busy at the moment. His home and shop are in a mess. He has not been able to get any news from the farm yet. Presumably, the problem is not big because the farm has the most manpower. Yesterday's chaos was still in the city, and it is relatively safer outside the city.
She sent someone to inquire about the news early in the morning. The Du family was fine and did not suffer too much loss. On the contrary, the Cheng family next door had a conflict yesterday. Old Man Cheng fell and is still lying in bed.
Jiang Yutong went to the next door to check on Mr. Cheng and prescribed a prescription for him before coming back.
However, I haven't seen Xiao Yifeng and Jiang Yuwen yet, so I guess they are still busy.
Xiao Yifeng came in the evening, took off his armor and put on his daily clothes. He was the familiar Xiao Yifeng again.
Jiang Yutong bowed to Xiao Yifeng and said, "Greetings to the Pluto."
Xiao Yifeng was a little helpless and helped Jiang Yutong up. "Tongtong, are you still angry with me?"
Jiang Yutong lowered his eyebrows and said, "I dare not."
This "Tongtong" sounded too intimate.
Xiao Yifeng lowered his head and moved closer to Jiang Yutong. "Okay, don't be angry. I'm here to apologize to you."
Jiang Yutong felt a little uncomfortable when the handsome face suddenly approached her, and she took a step back.
Xiao Yifeng formally bowed to Jiang Yutong and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Jiang. I didn't mean to hide this from you. I just had to do it for some unavoidable reason."
In fact, Jiang Yutong was not angry, but she didn't know how to deal with this sudden change of identity.
Jiang Yutong turned sideways and said, "Hurry up and get up. I'm not angry. You don't need to apologize."
Xiao Yifeng came over with a playful smile, "Are you really not angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry anymore."
Xiao Yifeng sighed, "I've been busy all day and night, I'm tired and hungry. Tongtong, do you have anything to eat? I'll eat and sleep here afterward."
Jiang Yutong looked at Xiao Yifeng, who was exhausted. At this moment, his eyes were blue. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Dongmei, "Tell the kitchen to bring some food up."
Xiao Yifeng sat down on the swing and stretched lazily, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Although Jiang Yutong had a lot to say, she had no idea where to start. She would have had no scruples towards the previous Xiao Yifeng, but the Xiao Yifeng in front of her now was not the same Xiao Yifeng.
In the end, Jiang Yutong just asked dryly, "My brother?"
Xiao Yifeng felt inexplicably lost, and Jiang Yutong still had a grudge against him.
He could only comfort himself by saying that Jiang Yutong was just not used to his change of identity, and that he would be back to normal in time.
Xiao Yifeng patiently explained the current situation in Yinbai County. "County Magistrate Cui has been imprisoned, and the remaining members are still under investigation. Your brother has led the troops to pursue the remaining Nanman criminals. Don't worry, he will surely return safely soon."
Jiang Yutong nodded, "That's good."
The two people fell silent.
Jiang Yutong tapped her toes, "You..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifeng also spoke at this time, "You..."
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
The two of them fell silent again. Jiang Yutong couldn't stay any longer. "I'll go see if the food is ready."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Yifeng looked at Jiang Yutong, who looked like she was fleeing in panic, and smiled silently. He reached out and touched Banban, who was now crawling at his feet. "Banban, you're the only one who doesn't care about my identity, right?"
Banban tilted his head and rubbed it against Xiao Yifeng's palm, responding in a low voice, as if he understood Xiao Yifeng's question.
At this time, Jiang Yutong's voice sounded,
"time to eat."
Xiao Yifeng replied in a good mood, "I'm coming."
Xiao Yifeng remembered that his mother used to call him father in the same way, and he felt much better.
