Others were hiding on the roof, listening to the conversation below.
Yue Tongpan sat in the upper seat, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, squinting his eyes and asked:
"You are the merchant yesterday. I heard that you have a lot of good things in your hands. Where did you get those things? And how did you get into Qingzhou City? Did you recruit them all truthfully? Otherwise, sir, I will let you have a taste of the board."
Ye Mingzhe was being escorted and kneeling there, cursing in his heart, his grandma, don't fall into the hands of grandpa in the future, or I will let you taste the taste of the board.
But there was a look of fear on his face, "Sir, our boss brought those in. I am only responsible for selling them and I don't know about the rest."
"Who is your boss? Where is he now? How many goods do you still have on hand?"
He had just heard from the housekeeper that the things in these people's hands were of the highest quality, rarely seen on the market, and should be tributes.
Why don't you try such a good thing? How can he be worthy of his status?
These people are so ignorant. They don't know how to show respect to adults like them when they have good things, but they rush to sell them at a high price in front of his door. It's really unreasonable.
Ye Mingzhe explained: "Sir, our boss usually doesn't contact us. He only informs us when the goods arrive. The goods that have arrived in the past few days have been sold out. I don't know where he is now."
Butler Yu interrupted: "Sir, this kid is not telling the truth. Their people must still be in the city, and they still have a lot of goods on hand."
Judge Yue Tong's small eyes looked at Ye Mingzhe gloomily, "If you confess now, you will not suffer any physical pain, otherwise I will throw you into the prison and let the prisoners inside teach you the rules."
Ye Mingzhe said emphatically: "Sir, I don't dare to deceive you. Everything you say is true."
"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Judge Yue Tong snorted coldly and shouted: "Come here, lock this kid up first, and then interrogate him when I come back at night."
It's daytime now, so it's not good to torture him in the house. I'll deal with him properly at night.
He didn't believe that this kid could withstand his torture?
Ye Mingzhe was taken to an empty room. This room didn't even have a window. When he closed the door, it was dark and he couldn't see his fingers.
Li Yunze hid in a big tree in the courtyard. After the people escorting Ye Mingzhe left, he got down from the tree and used his internal strength to unlock the door.
When Ye Mingzhe saw Li Yunze, he thought he had also been arrested and asked anxiously: "Brother-in-law, why are you here too? Where is my sister?"
"Second brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's talk about it when we go back."
Li Yunze locked the door again and took him to hide in a big tree. The branches and leaves on the tree were very lush, so it was not easy to be found up there.
All the officials from Qingzhou City live nearby, and their houses are all next to each other. In order not to alert the enemy, Li Yunze planned to take Ye Yunzhe out after dark.
The place where they took shelter was the kitchen, where several cooks were cooking.
"The noodles given by Madam are getting less and less. Today's Wowotou is probably only as big as a child's fist." A young cook complained.
Another woman sighed: "There is no shortage of food in our house. Both warehouses are full. Why do you think Madam..."
The next words were not spoken, but everyone knew what they meant. Isn't that just stingy? Stingy?
Another younger daughter-in-law whispered: "A few days ago, I went with my wife's maid to get grain. I heard from the servants there that our master bought another batch of grain and put it in the cellar in the front yard, preparing to increase the price. It will be sold later.”
Li Yunze and Ye Mingzhe listened to the conversation of several people on the tree, and their hearts moved. They looked at each other and smiled understandingly.
When he started to light the lanterns, Li Yunze and Ye Mingzhe quietly left the Tongpan Mansion and came to the place agreed with Ye Yutong.
Ye Yutong has been waiting impatiently for a long time! Seeing that the two of them came back safely, they immediately left the space.
Seeing that the two of them were unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yutong pulled the two of them to prepare to enter the space.
Li Yunze hurriedly stopped him and said, "Tongtong, this place is too close to Tongpan Mansion. Let's go a little further before going in."
Ye Mingzhe suggested, "Then let's go to the Chen Mansion. Don't we have to deliver something to them tonight?"
Ye Yutong shook his head, "I won't help deliver them to the house today. I'll find a secluded place later and notify Chen San to come over."
It's not that she doesn't believe in the Chen family, but that in the face of power, people will choose what is beneficial to them.
She didn't know Chen Shimei's personality, but such a shrewd businessman would never make an enemy of Tongsuan Mansion just to buy some food.
Chen San introduced them to Housekeeper Yu of Tongpan Mansion. Now that something like this happened, she had to be more cautious.
In fact, she could find an excuse not to send anything to Chen's house today, but since she had agreed and others had not broken their promise, she would never break her promise.
Moreover, Chen San also agreed to help get salt, so he must go on this trip tonight.
Li Yunze agreed: "Tongtong is right. I will inform Chen San at night. If they want it, they can come over and get it. If they don't want it, forget it. We won't do their business."
The three of them found a remote place and entered the space.
Ye Yutong went to the kitchen to make dinner. Li Yunze and Ye Mingzhe couldn't help, so they took their backpacks and went to the mountain. Today's eggs have not been picked up yet.
As soon as the two of them reached the hillside, they heard a cry of "moo".
"Brother-in-law, the cow may be giving birth." The two of them quickly ran to the cow pen.
The cow was lying on the ground humming, and the calf's head was sticking out.
The two of them stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Brother-in-law, should we go over and help?"
Li Yunze looked at him and asked, "How can I help? I don't know how."
Ye Mingzhe thought for a while and said hesitantly: "How about we help pull the calf out? I used to see my grandfather deliver the lamb, and he just helped pull it out."
Li Yunze glanced at him and asked: "Second brother, have you really seen it? Are you sure it was pulled out?"
Ye Mingzhe hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "Sheep are delivered like this, so should cows be like this too, right?"
The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Li Yunze said: "Then let's give it a try."
The two men stepped forward, clumsily grabbed the calf's head and pulled it out.
"Brother-in-law, please work harder."
"No, it will strain the calf."
"But if you don't try hard, it won't come out!"
Li Yunze's forehead was covered with sweat, and he hurriedly pulled the cow's two hooves out gently.
Ye Mingzhe looked worried and wanted to go over and help. But before he could take action, the calf was born.
Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief, put the calf next to the cow, and prepared to wash his hands.
Ye Mingzhe stared at the cow's belly and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, there is another one inside. This cow is pregnant with twins."
