Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Ye Tianqing, who was discussing countermeasures with his staff at this time, suddenly felt weak all over. He frowned and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

The staff asked worriedly, "City Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Tian rubbed his cheeks lightly: "It's okay, just do as I just said, let a small steward of the tribe take the blame, tell him that I will take care of his wife and children, and let him go on his journey with peace of mind!"

The staff nodded: "Okay, I'll go down and make the arrangements right away!"

Soon, news came from outside that the manager had voluntarily committed suicide by taking poison.

Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care whether it was truly voluntary or not. He just needed to hand a body to Zhan Yan to dispel his suspicion of the Ye family.

After dawn, he personally led people to deliver the body to Zhan Yan.

He frowned and said, "In order to give an explanation to Marquis Zhan Yi and the royal family, this city lord thoroughly searched the armory last night and finally found the culprit. I sent it to you without delay!"

Zhan Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Send a corpse?"

Ye Tianqing stroked his white beard and explained, "This is the fault of this city lord. I originally sent people to watch him, but I didn't expect him to secretly commit suicide by taking poison. Fortunately, I made him write a confession beforehand, otherwise, there would be no evidence to prove this!"

Zhan Yan took the confession letter with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

At this moment, he was certain that the Ye family in Lingnan City was up to something, but he could not alert the enemy. He had to return to Beijing to report to the emperor before making a decision.

He was too lazy to pay any more attention to Ye Tianqing, so he put away the confession and said, "Okay, I will definitely report this to the emperor. City Lord Ye, please go back!"

Ye Tian asked politely, "My Lord, are you in such a hurry to go back? You haven't even had a good look at the scenery of Lingnan City. How about I treat you to a trip to Xiaoyao Tower in the city?"

Zhan Yan waved his hand without hesitation: "It is better for City Lord Ye to go and enjoy himself alone. I have the emperor's order and cannot stay outside for too long. I will take my leave now!"

He jumped on his horse and ordered the army to retreat.

Seeing the Black Forest Army following behind Yan's Army with great momentum, Ye Tianqing's pupils contracted violently.

How great would it be if those Black Forest Army belonged to him?

Why should he worry about not being able to control the South?

It turned out that he had already discussed it with King Zhongyong. He wanted the capital and he wanted the southern land!

But he never expected that he would be so stupid as to be uprooted!

He took a deep breath, and the solemn expression on his face disappeared in an instant.

He turned his head and looked behind him: "Has Ye Ling set off yet? Tell her my order, tell her to become Zhan Yan's woman after entering the capital. If she can't be won over, then kill her!"

The staff member quickly replied, "The Second Young Lady knows that she will soon meet Marquis Zhan Yi on the official road. I have already bribed her maid Xiu'er to pass on information to us at any time. In addition, even if she cannot succeed on the road, the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion will also lend a helping hand after she arrives in the capital!"

Ye Tianqing nodded in satisfaction: "I trust you to do the job. In short, you must not let Zhan Yan become an obstacle to our Ye family!"

The staff laughed: "Don't worry, City Lord. Even without King Zhongyong, the Ye family can still become the overlord of the South. The black gunpowder in the armory will be successfully developed soon. When that happens, the imperial court will bow to you!"

Thinking that he would be able to reach a high position in the future, Ye Tianqing couldn't help but laugh out loud with his head raised.

He clenched his fists tightly and murmured, "Zhan Yan, you are all ants. If this city lord wants you to live, you can't die. If I want your life, you can't live at all!"

Zhan Yan had already left Lingnan City at this time. The reason why he was in a hurry to leave was because he missed his wife.

This was the first time he had been separated from Lin Yiwan for such a long time, especially after they had experienced the joy of being together as a couple.

He really blamed Emperor Sheng An for separating him and his wife. Just giving him a pleasure boat was not enough.

Just when he was about to ask for some more benefits, he heard an urgent cry for help not far away: "Is anyone there? Can you help me?"

Yinghun and Yingyi's expressions suddenly changed, and they subconsciously rushed forward to check.

When they saw Xiu'er's familiar face, they turned around and left tacitly.

Xiu'er stamped her feet anxiously: "Ah, why are you running?"

Yinghun was stopped by her and couldn't help but take a half step back subconsciously: "A good dog doesn't block the road!"

Xiu Er angrily retorted: "I'm not a dog, why are you scolding me? I've never seen anyone like you. You saw that we needed help, but you turned around and ran away. Are you still men?"

Yinghun and Yingyi shouted in unison: "Shut up!"

Xiu'er was so frightened that her whole body shuddered. She quickly ran back to Ye Ling for help: "Miss, look at them, they refused to help and were even mean to me!"

Ye Ling frowned and interrupted: "Xiu'er, don't be rude. Go and apologize to the two guards!"

Xiu'er argued aggrievedly: "What did I do wrong? It was obviously them who were avoiding us!"

Ye Ling walked up to the two men tremblingly and said, "Guard brother, please don't argue with Xiu'er. She said something wrong. I'm here to apologize to you!"

She was wearing a plain brocade dress, which made her pretty face look innocent and weak.

Especially when she bent her body, cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

Xiu'er quickly reached out to support her and said, "Miss, please don't bow to them. You were severely whipped, how can you treat yourself like this?"

Ye Ling waved his hand. "My injury isn't a big deal. The most important thing is to clear up the misunderstanding with the guard brother. Could you please tell the Marquis that our carriage to the capital is broken down. Could he give us a ride?"

Yinghun and Yingyi looked behind her and saw that the wheels of the carriage had fallen off, and the coachman was squatting beside her with a sad face.

He might not have the final say on matters related to the two of them, but he deeply understood how much Zhan Yan hated the Second Miss Ye in front of him!

There is no way to get on their carriage!

The two men refused almost in unison: "No, quickly drag the broken carriage to the side and make way for us!"

Xiu'er was immediately furious. She complained, "How could you two be so cruel? If our young lady had any other ideas, would she have come here to beg you humbly?"

Ying Yi frowned and glared at her: "No one forced you to beg. I say again, a good dog doesn't block the road. If you still refuse to move out of the way, don't blame me for taking action!"

Xiu'er subconsciously retorted: "Go ahead and move, am I afraid of you?"

Yingyi didn't hesitate and simply dragged the carriage to the side.

Seeing that the road had been cleared, Ye Ling was so shocked that he quickly fell to the ground: "Ah, my wound hurts so much, Xiu'er, help me up, I can't stand anymore!"

Xiu'er hugged her in time and brought a stool for her to sit down.

Ying was stunned. How shameless were they, master and servant? They were willing to resort to such shameless tactics just to get their master.
