Ye Chutang shook his head: "We have only got a few clues so far. To get the real truth, we have to continue to investigate."
Hearing this, Ye Jingyan was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it was not easy to get clues. After all, the person behind the scenes was very cautious in doing things. Besides, three years have passed, and it is not that simple to investigate again.
He understood something and asked tentatively: "So... the clue is in the capital?"
…
Shen Yanchuan put down the book in his hand and placed it casually on the small table beside him.
Lian Zhou was a little curious: "Master, is there anything wrong with this book?"
Shen Yanchuan shook his head and smiled: "It's just an ordinary book."
That Doctor Ye was not on ordinary guard against him.
But this was within his expectation. Ye Chutang was not an ordinary woman, so how could she not guess the real purpose of borrowing the book from him.
When he tested it, she showed it to him openly: I won't give you any of the books you want.
The two of them knew each other's thoughts well, and although they were too straightforward, it saved them a lot of trouble.
Lian Zhou didn't know what his master was thinking, so he mentioned another thing.
"By the way, the news that those people failed to assassinate you last time should have been sent back to the capital. Do you think - do you want to continue waiting here?"
Shen Yanchuan had expected this and said with a slight smile: "There's no rush."
The person who wants him to die should be the most panicked if he fails twice in a row, right?
Shen Yanchuan added: "Besides, isn't it quite interesting to stay here?"
…
Ye's Medical Clinic has returned to its usual peace and tranquility, as if nothing had happened. However, things were not so easy for the Cao family tonight.
boom!
Cao Deping smashed his favorite tea cup and was furious: "Cunning! That Ye Chutang is really cunning!"
I thought everything would go according to plan, but who knew it would turn out like this in the end!
Not only did they fail to bring down Ye's Medical Clinic, they almost exposed the Cao family as well!
What's more important is that it also involves my cousin!
After he learned that Ye Chutang had proved his innocence in the medical clinic, he knew something was wrong and hurried to find his cousin, but was stopped outside the gate of the magistrate's mansion.
This is the first time he has been rejected, and the attitude of the servants is also obviously disgusting. What else is there to understand?
Cao Deping had no choice but to come back dejected, feeling angry and flustered with nowhere to vent his anger.
I was angry that such a perfect layout actually allowed Ye Chutang to escape unharmed!
What made him panic was that this was the first time he had asked his cousin for help, and something like this had gone wrong. He also knew that she must have been angered by the magistrate.
this--
Cao Deping was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room.
"father?"
Hearing the noise, Cao Chengwen hurried over.
He carefully closed the door. He had never seen Cao Deping look so irritable before, so he had to advise: "Dad, don't worry, although this matter didn't happen, as long as those people don't confess us, we won't Something’s wrong!”
Cao Deping was furious: "It's easy to say!"
Those people were originally bribed temporarily, how strict can they be?
Once leaked, there will be big trouble!
He became more and more angry, pointed at Cao Chengwen and shouted angrily: "If I hadn't cleaned up the mess for you, why would there be so much trouble!"
Cao Chengwen's eyes flickered, feeling guilty and angry.
He couldn't help but said: "...I have reminded you before that Ye Chutang is difficult to deal with, but you didn't take it seriously at the time..."
Now I blame him for everything...
"you!"
Cao Deping was so angry that his face was livid.
If he hadn't been the only son left, he would never have cared so much!
Seeing this, Cao Chengwen also knew that he could not continue to provoke him. After all, he still wanted to continue to be the eldest son of the Cao family safely.
He quickly advised: "Dad, you really don't have to worry too much. Didn't you say before that there was hope for the magistrate's promotion this time? Even if it's for himself, he will definitely suppress this matter!"
Cao Deping narrowed his eyes.
This seems to make some sense. If the Cao family is found out, they will definitely pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and trace them together with their cousin.
At that time, how should the county magistrate himself deal with himself?
Apart from anything else, if this happens, your career in this life will be ruined!
So no matter what, he will definitely cover this up!
After thinking about it this way, Cao Deping's mood finally calmed down.
He thought for a long time and decided to cut off all contact with his cousin Liu Yiyi during this period.
Now we can only cope with the changes by remaining unchanged. As long as we don't make any noise and the limelight passes, everything will remain the same.
The Cao family is still an unshakable big family in Jiangling.
Cao Deping took a deep breath, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.
"As long as Liu Si dies, all these things will be over."
…
The night was dark, and a bright moon hung slanting in the sky.
The cool moonlight spread along the windows and illuminated the whole place.
Ye Chutang looked at the letter in his hand again by the candlelight.
The handwriting on it is strong and powerful, and the pen tip is flying. It can be seen how excited the writer was when he wrote these words.
Ye Chutang's eyes swept over and finally landed on the end.
"The current situation in Beijing is treacherous and dangerous. It will be difficult to find out the death of your father and brother. But don't worry, I will take care of everything. This situation is dangerous, so don't come!"
There was no signature at the end, just the word "Xu".
Ye Chutang put down the letter.
This letter, sent from the capital, is extremely precious. It is instructive and true to every word.
She knew that Xu Fengchi really didn't want them to go back because it meant too much danger.
But……
She could never stay out of it.
Those were her father, mother, and brother. She watched them being killed in front of her with her own eyes. The sky was freezing to the bone, but the blood was hot.
That day she promised her brother that she would take good care of Xiao Wu and the others.
It was also that day that she promised herself that she would find out everything and avenge them in the future!
She always means what she says.
When she asked Ayan about those words today, she did not show him the letter because she had already made up her mind.
Ye Chutang picked up the letter and placed it next to the candlelight. Warm orange flames shot up and quickly devoured the letter.
A wisp of green smoke drifted away silently.
She took out the reply she had written during the day and put it in the prepared envelope.
She must go back to the capital!
…
Liu Si's case was decided quickly and he was beheaded in public three days later.
After Zhou learned the news, he fainted on the spot.
Aunt Yang went to take care of her for two days and sighed when she came back.
"She is the only woman left with a baby who is only a few years old, but what should we do!"
Ye Chutang originally wanted to help out and send some money, but Zhou refused.
"Dr. Ye, thank you very much, but we don't need this anymore." She smiled bitterly, "We plan to leave."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly.
"Go? Where?"
