Farming and reading family

Gao E was not familiar with the current business model, and had no channels or connections, so she wanted to see if the Jin family had any solutions.

"Okay." Jin Ruyi agreed.

She also wanted her family to be useful to Gao E, after all, they owed Gao E too much.

Before Gao E left the city, Ye Linchuan had already brought people to He County to investigate the murder of Jia Touchun.

In fact, the incident has been determined in Qinzhou City. It was that Jia Touchun was killed by a horse bandit on the road. As for who killed the horse bandit, the government office did not care. Since no one admitted to it, the reward was waived.

However, Ye Linchuan wanted to use this incident as an excuse to come to He County. He was still brooding over the fact that he was dismissed from his post in He County.

He also thought about taking revenge on Mo Xun and Yan Congfang, but the Mo family was not easy to mess with. Mo Xun went to the capital, and Yan Congfang went to join the army, which was even farther away. He could only remember this incident.

When Xu Boyan knew that it was Ye Linchuan who came, he smiled with an incomprehensible meaning, and felt that there was something strange about Ye Linchuan's coming.

If it was really because of those horse bandits, the people from Qinzhou City would not have arrived so slowly.

"Lord Ye." Xu Boyan greeted him perfunctorily.

"Sir Xu." Ye Linchuan thought that since Xu Boyan had taken refuge with Miss Qiu, he could be considered one of their own. It was possible that Xu Boyan didn't know about his relationship with Miss Qiu.

"I wonder what instructions Lord Ye has for you." Xu Boyan took Ye Linchuan to the hall in the back hall.

"Official business." Ye Linchuan handed the file of the murder of Jia Touchun and the bandit Ma to Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan took the file and read it carefully: "I know about this."

"Oh?" Ye Linchuan was surprised. "Master Xu knows?"

"Yes." Xu Boyan returned the file to Ye Linchuan. "The people of He County happened to see it and reported it to the authorities as soon as they returned. When I heard it was in Qinzhou City, I didn't ask any questions."

Ye Linchuan suddenly understood what Xu Boyan said: "Can you please summon him so that I can understand what's going on?"

"Bai Hao, go get the files." Xu Boyan ordered.

Bai Hao bowed and left.

"I made a record at that time and showed it to Lord Ye." Xu Boyan said with a smile.

"Lord Xu is really thorough in his work." Ye Linchuan said politely.

"There's nothing to do usually, and I can't let people accuse me of doing nothing as a county magistrate." Xu Boyan said with a smile, "It's Lord Ye who made a special trip to He County because of a few horse bandits."

"It's my job." Ye Linchuan smiled bitterly.

Xu Boyan didn't ask any more questions. He was prepared for this matter after Gao E mentioned it to him, but he didn't expect that it was Ye Linchuan who came.

"Lord Ye also served as the magistrate of He County. Now that you are in He County again, is there any place you want to go?" Xu Boyan asked.

"I didn't stay in He County for long, and it was a flood time, so I was too busy. I just thought Yue Garden was pretty good." Ye Linchuan didn't want to mention this matter.

"Then Lord Ye, if you would do me the honor, I will host a welcome banquet for you in Yue Garden today," Xu Boyan suggested.

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for the expense."

The two men exchanged pleasantries. Bai Hao came over with the file, and Xu Boyan gestured for him to give it to Ye Linchuan.

Ye Linchuan took a careful look at it and checked the time on the file. He paused when he saw the name of the person who signed it.

"This Gao family...is it the Gao family from Baotou Village?" Ye Linchuan asked tentatively.

"Yes." Xu Boyan was surprised. "Master Ye knows her?"

"I've seen her twice." Ye Linchuan closed the file. "How could a woman like her calmly come to the police after encountering such a thing?"

"She came to report to the police out of fear." Xu Boyan sneered, "Master Ye didn't see her coming to report to the police."

Ye Linchuan could hardly remember what Gao E looked like: "She's alone?"

"She brought her entourage." Xu Boyan saw that Ye Linchuan was still unwilling to give up. "Why don't I send someone to summon her to the yamen tomorrow, and Lord Ye can ask whatever he wants directly."

Seeing Xu Boyan's indifferent look, Ye Linchuan felt that he was being too fussy. "Never mind, there will definitely be no problem with Master Xu's file."

"It's no big deal for Lord Ye to make a special trip to meet the witness." Xu Boyan didn't care.

Ye Linchuan smiled and shook his head: "No need, I believe in Master Xu."

Both of them laughed and agreed to go to Yueyuan in the evening.

Xu Boyan found an excuse to leave and asked Luo Qing'er to go to Yueyuan. He told Jin Ruyi that Ye Linchuan would go to Yueyuan in the evening and asked Luo Qing'er to leave the yamen for two days.

Luo Qing'er left the yamen through the back door and went straight to Yueyuan.

When she arrived at Yueyuan, Gao E had already left. Jin Ruyi was stunned for a moment when she knew that Ye Linchuan was coming, and then she made arrangements for her family first, so that Ye Linchuan would not see her family.

In the evening, Jin Ruyi found an excuse to ask Manager Wei to entertain Xu Boyan and others, and she avoided Ye Linchuan herself. However, watching from afar, she really wanted to send Ye Linchuan away with a glass of poisoned wine.

But she couldn't do that. If Ye Linchuan really died here, they would all be responsible.

Early the next morning, Jin Ruyi rode on horseback to find Gao E and told her that Ye Linchuan had come to He County.

"Could it be that he found out that your family has arrived in He County?" Gao E worried.

"I don't know." Jin Ruyi was also unsure. "I asked Lu Hao to keep an eye on it. We need to prepare early."

Gao E said that all necessary preparations had been made. Now it all depended on what Ye Linchuan would do so that they could respond accordingly. "If that doesn't work, how about letting your family leave He County first?"

"That's not necessary. As long as they don't go out, everything will be fine." Jin Ruyi thought going out was the most dangerous thing.

"Then are you going back or not?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi.

"I... will go back." Jin Ruyi still had a lot of things to do in He County.

"Okay, then you be careful." Gao E reminded.

After sending Jin Ruyi away, Gao E thought about it again and again. If Ye Linchuan had confirmed information, he should not have brought a few people to Xu Boyan to talk nonsense.

He may have some doubts and want to come to He County to see what is going on.

However, this is just her speculation. It depends on what Ye Linchuan did in He County.

Since Xu Boyan asked Luo Qing'er to inform Jin Ruyi, if the matter was related to her, Xu Boyan would also send someone to inform her.

After confirming these things, Gao E stopped thinking about it.

Zhao Jiancheng's attack on Wanyilou failed and his own reputation was damaged. Those who had previously joined forces with him implicitly expressed that they no longer wanted to join forces with him.

He put on a forced smile to show that it was okay, but in his heart he was even more determined to swallow up the Chen family.

The shame he now bears can only be eliminated by annexing the Chen family.

Then he heard that Lord Ye had returned.

Ye Linchuan had been away from He County for just over a year, but the gentry in He County still remembered him. Zhao Jiancheng thought that since Xu Boyan didn't give him face, why not find another backer?

When Ye Linchuan was in He County, he and the gentry of He County divided the land of He County. He and Ye were of the same mind. As long as the benefits were sufficient, Lord Ye should be tempted.

Thinking of this, he tried to find a way to invite Ye Linchuan to his house alone.

Ye Linchuan didn't care about the invitation, but he was a person who accepted everything, so he accepted Zhao Jiancheng's invitation. After all, there was no loss to him.
