Farming and reading family

The two were chatting about the Yun family, and Jin Ruyi suddenly mentioned Ye Linchuan, which made Gao E a little unpredictable.

"Ye Linchuan is closely related to the Yun family's affairs." Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E with certainty.

Gao E didn't know what Jin Ruyi had found out: "So what can you do for the Yun family now?"

Jin Ruyi slowly lowered her head: "Uncle Yun has been exiled, and Aunt Yun died from the shock. Now only Yun Shuang and Yun Zhou are going to be sold tomorrow..."

Gao E felt that Jin Ruyi cared deeply about the Yun family: "When a person has exhausted his strength, he should do whatever he can."

Jin Ruyi nodded slowly and suddenly smiled with relief.

She always thought that she would be Gao E's biggest help, but she didn't expect that Gao E would be her biggest support.

"Just think it over, go to bed early, tomorrow..." Gao E hesitated to speak.

She had already promised Jin Ruyi ten thousand taels, but if Jin Ruyi insisted on doing this... except for the travel expenses, the rest could be given to her.

Gao E said she fell asleep, but Jin Ruyi couldn't fall asleep again.

She suddenly thought that if she had not saved Ye Linchuan, would the fate of many people be different?

After thinking for a while, she wanted to chat with Gao E: "Are you asleep?"

"You woke me up." Gao E was originally a light sleeper outside.

"If I hadn't saved Ye Linchuan back then, would everything be different?" Jin Ruyi asked in a low voice.

"You blame the road builders for falling down, and blame the knife sellers for killing people." Gao E said angrily, "If you want to blame someone, why don't you blame his parents for giving birth to him, and why don't you blame the court for allowing him to go to the capital to take the imperial examination?"

Jin Ruyi laughed: "You are quite good at comforting people."

"I just don't understand. When you wanted to drag Mo Xun into the water, you were actively involved in the cause and effect. Didn't you ever think about what would happen to you if Mo Xun didn't have a good end in the future?" Gao E asked.

Jin Ruyi was silent. She felt that with the power of the Mo family, protecting Mo Xun would not be a problem.

"Is it because of the Yun family's matter?" Gao E didn't want to continue to attack her.

"There is the Yun family and the Wei family. Although they are not very high-ranking families, they have been in Qinzhou City for generations and have a very good reputation." Jin Ruyi always felt that there was another hidden story behind this matter.

"What does the Yun family do?" Gao E didn't know why the Yun family was convicted.

"The Yun family mainly deals in charcoal. In their best years, they supplied charcoal to the dignitaries in the capital. They own several large mountains outside of Qinzhou City. Although they have been cutting down trees for charcoal making over the years, the mountains are still lush and forested."

"What about the Wei family?" Gao E asked curiously.

"The Wei family has been silversmiths for generations. Although they don't have a silver shop, their craftsmanship is very good. Many silversmiths in Qinzhou City come from the Wei family." Jin Ruyi had little contact with the Wei family.

"Charcoal, silversmith," Gao E repeated. "What's the connection?"

"I think this time it's targeting the prestigious families in Qinzhou City." Jin Ruyi analyzed.

"What's the benefit of targeting these families?" Gao E didn't understand.

"People who are new to a place have two methods. One is to make friends and gain recognition, and the other is to suppress others. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is one method of suppression," Jin Ruyi analyzed.

"So, there are new nobles coming to Qinzhou City recently?" Gao E guessed.

"Marquis Feng'an." Jin Ruyi said directly.

A title like the Earl of Feng'an is far away from the capital and is considered to be of low status.

However, he still has a certain weight in places like Qinzhou City, and local officials cannot afford to provoke him.

"Do you mean that Ye Linchuan hooked up with Feng Anbo?" Gao E guessed.

"It may be a being higher than Feng Anbo." Jin Ruyi was uncertain.

Then the two of them talked in detail about the Yun family, the Wei family and Feng Anbo. Gao E fell asleep again without knowing when.

Jin Ruyi smiled bitterly. It should be said that Gao E was sometimes really careless.

There is a low price for selling convicts, and if there is competition, the highest bidder wins.

The yamen gate was crowded with people early in the morning. When Gao E and her friends arrived, there was no room left in the front, and the restaurants and teahouses in the back were also fully booked.

From time to time, the madam of the building would come, and they all looked determined to get what they wanted.

"Where is Lu Hao?" Gao E wanted to find a high ground to see the situation ahead.

"Here, here, here." Lu Hao hurried over. "I met an acquaintance."

"Do you have any acquaintances in Qinzhou City?" Gao E said unhappily.

The girl Zheng Xiaoshun rescued yesterday was still asleep, so he left her at the inn to watch over her. He only brought Lu Hao out and he was still running around.

"Sister Gao also knows him." Lu Hao said directly.

"Do I know him?" Gao E became alert. Could it be Ye Linchuan?

"Master Fan," Lu Hao reminded him, "I know him in He County."

Gao E suddenly realized it, but she didn't expect to meet him here. "What is he doing in Qinzhou City?"

"I don't dare to ask." Lu Hao spread his hands.

"You don't want to follow others to the capital to make a fortune, do you?" Gao E joked.

"I know my own weight." Lu Hao said that it was not the case.

As the two were talking, Jin Ruyi pulled Gao E and motioned her to look over.

Gao E saw Ye Linchuan bringing a man in his forties or fifties to the side of the platform and was very flattering to the man.

"Could it be Earl Feng'an?" Gao E guessed in a low voice.

"It's very likely." Jin Ruyi's expression was solemn.

It's obvious that Feng Anbo is a pervert, and he must have fallen for Yunshuang.

Gao E also knew that things were getting troublesome, and who would dare to argue with Feng Anbo?

She looked at Jin Ruyi in embarrassment.

Jin Ruyi smiled bitterly. She knew that this would make it too difficult for Gao E. Even if Gao E was not afraid of the powerful and fought for it, she would never win.

She finally understood what Gao E meant when she said that people have exhausted their strength.

"Just look at this..." Lu Hao was bumped by someone, and when he turned his head to meet Yu Zhao's eyes, he instantly became timid.

Gao E also looked over and didn't expect to meet this person here.

Lu Qingluo became alert and stared at Yu Zhao, ready to take action at any time.

Yu Zhao felt a little embarrassed when being stared at: "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." He said and left.

Gao E and Jin Ruyi looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.

But the two of them didn't think much about it, as long as they were not here to cause trouble.

At this moment, many people rushed here, and Gao E and the others were pushed to the side again.

Before Gao E and the others could react, a team of soldiers in full armor ran over and separated the civilians.

"In order to maintain order, anyone who buys a convict slave today must pay one or two taels of silver to enter. Those who do not pay the silver and refuse to leave will be regarded as disturbing the order and will be beaten with twenty sticks." The soldiers on horseback shouted loudly.

The crowd began to protest, but were quickly frightened by the soldiers' drawn swords.

Gao E's face was gloomy and she drew her sword against the people. What kind of court is this?

"What kind of army is this?" Gao E asked Jin Ruyi in a low voice.

"They should be the palace soldiers of Marquis Feng'an." Jin Ruyi was not sure.

As long as there is a title, there will be a corresponding number of household soldiers. Jin Ruyi counted them and found that the number exceeded the number of household soldiers that Feng'an Earl should have, and the armor standard also exceeded it.

At this time, Yu Zhao, who had originally left, squeezed over and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to buy a convict slave?"
