Chapter 30

Ye Ying returned to Ye Mansion early in the morning.

Everyone in the Ye Mansion knew about the Xiangju Building a long time ago. Ye Hongxin and Ye Yi went to the morning court. Mother Ye originally wanted to send a message for Ye Ying to come home, but Ye Ying came back just thinking about it.

"Zian, are you okay? Your father said that you went to the yamen yesterday." Mother Ye felt sorry for Ye Ying the most. Hearing that Ye Ying had entered the yamen, she was so worried that she didn't fall asleep all night.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Ye Ying took Ye Mu's hand to comfort her.

"It's fine, what's going on?" Ye Ying led Ye Mu to sit down.

Ye Ying told Ye Mu about the situation.

"I know Zhu Zhengqing, he is very fair and will definitely find out the truth. Zian, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. I'll come here today to tell you. I'll go to Xiangju Building later. If Dad comes back, Mom, you can tell Dad not to worry."

"Alright, go and see that girl in your building." Ye Mu urged Ye Ying.

"Okay." Ye Ying went back to the room and brought some money with her.

"Second brother, you're here. What's going on?" Ye Xi heard her voice just as he stepped into the door.

"Xiao Xi, you're here. It's nothing, don't worry." Ye Ying replied.

"Well, if you have anything, just tell Dad, Dad will definitely help you, and Mr. He, doesn't he like you the most? You should also talk to Mr. He more." Ye Ying's voice was a little crying.

"Okay, it's fine, Lord Zhu will definitely find out." Ye Ying reached out and touched Ye Xi's face.

"Well. Second brother, go and see Sister Han. I'm quite worried about her."

"I'll go right away." After saying that, Ye Ying left home and went to the Xiangju Building. The door of the building was closed, and a notice was posted outside, saying that she would rest for a few days.

Ye Ying opened the door and saw Li Ranhan lying on the table with Ye Chen beside him.

Ye Ying saw Ye Chen, Ye Chen also saw Ye Ying, Ye Chen was about to get up, Ye Ying raised his hand to stop him.

Ye Ying signaled Ye Chen to speak at the back.

Ye Chen understood Ye Ying's gesture and got up gently.

"Why is Sister Han sleeping here?" Before Ye Chen could speak, Ye Ying hurriedly interrupted him.

"I came here very late yesterday. Ranhan said something to me. He kept talking about the early morning before falling asleep. I...I don't want to wake her up." Ye Chen lowered his head.

"It's okay, thank you for staying with Sister Han." Ye Ying patted Ye Chen's shoulder.

"By the way, has this matter been investigated?" Ye Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Not yet, we can only wait now." Ye Ying couldn't help feeling a little worried when he thought of what He Linyuan said yesterday.

"Yeah." Ye Chen simply replied and stopped talking, just kept looking at Li Ranhan.

"I'm relieved to have you with Sister Han, then you take care of Sister Han first, and I'll go to the government office to see what's going on."

"Okay." Ye Chen sent Ye Ying out.Afterwards, he came back and gently carried Li Ranhan back to the room with his own hands.

When Ye Ying came to the government office, it was a waiter who received Ye Ying.

"Master Zhu went to the Ministry of Punishment and hasn't come back yet."

"So, is there any clue to this case?"

"There are some clues, but I don't know very well. I have to ask Mr. Zhu." The waiter replied cautiously.

"Okay, excuse me then." Ye Ying walked away tactfully.Since he went to the Ministry of Punishment, He Linyuan should know something, let's talk about it when he comes back.

Ye Ying arrived at the He Mansion, but He Linyuan didn't come back, Ye Ying looked at the empty house and felt a little sad, but was soon swept away by Yuanyuan who appeared.

Yuanyuan kept barking at Ye Ying, rubbing against Ye Ying's feet back and forth.These few days Ye Ying has been staying with He Linyuan and rarely sees Yuanyuan in front of her eyes.Now I saw it unexpectedly, Yuanyuan gained weight again within a few days when Ye Ying couldn't see it, and became slick.

After Ye Ying had lunch, He Linyuan came back.

Ye Ying asked the kitchen to prepare some meals, and He Linyuan ate, with himself beside him.

"I heard that Mr. Zhu went to the Criminal Ministry today?"

"What? I don't know? I have been dealing with business, and no one has reported that Zhu Zhengqing has come." He Linyuan recalled what happened to him one morning.

"But the people in the government office said that Mr. Zhu went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I thought he went to report the case to you. How about asking you when you come back?" Ye Ying frowned.

He Liyuan suddenly felt that things were not simple, so she ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair.After a hasty meal, I went to the Criminal Department again.

"Master Zhu, has he been here today?" He Linyuan asked Qi Kun, the servant of the punishment department.

"No, the people below didn't come to report." Qi Kun arched his hands and said.

He Linyuan asked the guard at the gate of the criminal department again, and got a negative answer.

When He Linyuan was standing at the door to ask questions, someone came to report that "Zhu Zhengqing, the governor of the imperial city, was killed."

The news spread throughout the imperial city, and everyone guessed that it was Ye Ying. Assassinating an imperial official was a serious crime. Duan Yuhao also knew about it within half a day. Duan Yuhao hurriedly called He Linyuan and Yu Ze into the palace.

When He Linyuan and Yu Ze went to the imperial study, Duan Yuhao let them in without being stopped.

Duan Yuhao asked He Linyuan about it straight to the point.

He Linyuan told the truth.

Duan Yuhao clicked on Yu Ze again and asked about this matter: "I'm fairly familiar with Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye would not do such a thing. I'm afraid this matter was framed just like Mr. Ye." Yu Ze thought for a while I want to express my thoughts.

"Then leave this matter to He Aiqing to investigate." Duan Yuhao pointed to He Linyuan simply and clearly.

After He Linyuan took the order, he went directly to the imperial city government office. Everyone in the government office knew about Zhu Zheng's murder, and everyone was afraid that he would be the next one.

He Linyuan asked several of Zhu Zhengqing's capable subordinates to understand the situation.

But here, Ye Ying was shocked when she learned that Zhu Zhengqiu had been killed. It was obvious that she wanted to put the blame on Ye Ying.Ye Ying couldn't just sit still, now that He Linyuan hadn't returned for a long time, thinking about it, Ye Hongxin was the only one he could rely on.Thinking of this, Ye Ying went back to Ye Mansion.

After Ye Hongxin returned home, he heard Ye's mother tell about Ye Ying, but after a long time, everyone in the imperial city rumored that Zhu Zhengqing was killed by Ye Ying.

Ye Hongxin really wanted to yell out "full of nonsense!", but since he was Ye Ying's father, it was difficult for him to come forward to defend Ye Ying and investigate the case.Ye Hongxin sighed back and forth in the yard.The servants came to report that Ye Ying had returned.

Ye Hongxin hurriedly let Ye Ying come to see him.

"Father." Ye Ying called Ye Hongxin.

Ye Hongxin pulled Ye Ying to look left and right: "It's nothing, right? Did those people make things difficult for you?"

"No. What's the matter?"

"I'm not very clear either. But I heard that the emperor has handed over this matter to Mr. He." Ye Hongxin said the news he had received.

"Really!" Ye Ying was a little happy.

"Well, but don't get too excited, Mr. He wants to enforce the law impartially, even if you have a good relationship, Mr. He will not favor you."

"I didn't let Mr. He take sides." There was a smile on Ye Ying's face.

Ye Hongxin looked at Ye Ying a little strangely, "Then what are you so happy about, the matter hasn't been found out yet?"

"Ah? Is there? Am I happy?" Ye Ying touched her face, found that her mouth was open, and immediately pretended that nothing happened.

"Father, I'll go get busy then." Saying that, Ye Ying walked out.

Ye Hongxin watched from the side, a little puzzled, how could Ye Ying and He Linyuan have such a good relationship in just a few days?

Ye Ying rushed to He's mansion in a hurry.

He Linyuan waited for Ye Ying to come back early.

"You're back." He Linyuan pulled Ye Ying to sit down at the table.

"Well, I heard that you took over the case, so I'll be back."

"Why didn't I come back?" He Linyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Ying.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ying hastily smiled apologetically.

"Let's eat first." He Linyuan served Ye Ying a good meal, and put a chopstick in the bowl.

"Yeah." Ye Ying has been running around for a whole day and hasn't eaten yet. Now that the table is full of dishes, she feels a little hungry.

The two of them ate and drank enough, and He Linyuan told Ye Ying the clues about today's arrival.

"Master Zhu went out early in the morning, but he didn't come to the Ministry of Punishment, but went to the outskirts of the city. He was killed outside the city. When he rushed there, Master Zhu was already out of breath. I'm afraid he had been killed for an hour. Yes. I went to the government office to interrogate them one by one, but there was nothing to gain."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find out." Ye Ying said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out." He Linyuan hugged Ye Ying.

"Forget it, don't think about it. By the way, why haven't you seen Yuanyuan in the past few days?"

"Um... I put Yuanyuan in another room." He Linyuan avoided Ye Ying's sight.

"It's okay, save it nestling on my face every day, waking me up."

Another day passed, and Ye Ying still stayed in the He residence, waiting for He Linyuan to come back and tell Ye Ying some new discoveries.

That day, Ye Ying planned to rest in the courtyard after lunch, but the people below reported that Ye Xi had come.Ye Ying hurriedly let Ye Xi in.

"Xiao Xi, why are you here?" Ye Ying vacated a place for Ye Xi to sit, and Ye Xi sat down without being polite, and even took something to eat.

"Mother is worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you." Ye Ying stated her purpose of coming here simply and clearly.

"It's okay, and Mr. He will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom." Ye Ying also handed Ye Xi a glass of water.

"Well, I also trust sister-in-law." As soon as Ye Ying said this, the water she drank almost spewed out.

"Xiao Xi, it's better not to call Mr. He like that." Ye Ying said after some consideration.

"What's that called?" Ye Xi tilted his head and looked at Ye Ying.

"Eh... this... let's call him brother." Speaking of it, Ye Ying didn't seem to be very close to call him He Linyuan.Usually Ye Ying is called He Linyuan, Master He, but now the relationship between the two is a bit different, so naturally they can't be called Master He.

"...Well, okay." Ye Xi thought for a while and said.

"Sister Han should be fine with Ye Chen now. The most important thing right now is to quickly find out the truth and restore Xiangju Building to normal. Oh! By the way, do you know who the second owner of my building is? ?” Ye Ying gave Ye Xi a hard time.

"It's your second shopkeeper, the one who hasn't been seen all the time? How do I know." Ye Xi glanced at Ye Ying.

"You can't even imagine it's Master He." Ye Ying said to Ye Xi in an excited tone.
