Chapter 177
Ye Ruchuan's leg hurt. At night, Ye Yunjin called the Hu doctor at home to cupping and assist his brother. He held one leg and talked to the elderly doctor who likes to ramble. Ye Yunjin sat aside with him.
"...I said Mr. Ye, it's not that I said you, you are too arrogant. You are most afraid of hurting your bones when you are old. Last year, I finally recovered, but now you run like this again! You came here from the provincial capital in just a few days? Not to mention that you are always injured by your legs, even if you have nothing to do, you can't stand it! Do you think you are still a young man?"
“Yes, yes…”
Ye Ruchuan didn't have the heart to control his legs now. He responded absent-mindedly, looked at his sister, and saw her sitting for a while, but she was still in the beginning. His eyes were calm, and hesitated. He advised, "You go and rest, don't have to accompany me. There is no news at this late night. It seems that there should be nothing wrong with the city today."
Ye Yunjin came back to his senses, nodded to his brother, and asked him to rest after healing his legs. After saying that, he slowly stood up.
Doctor Hu said: "Is the female shopkeeper worried about taxes? I heard about it today, saying that the taxes in the Xu Mansion must be raised. If it is true, our virtues are not a small amount, right? I heard the streets cursing everywhere outside. But what else can I do except curse a few words? He said that if you don't pay it, he will point a gun at you and want to catch you in. Who can resist..."
"If you want me to tell me, this world is not as good as the Qing Dynasty in the early years..." The old doctor was foolish and began to speak the confused words that everyone shouted and beat.
Ye Yunjin walked over silently. At this time, a servant from the house ran in and shouted, "Manager Su is back."
Something important happened to Su Zhong rushed back so late.
Ye Yunjin's eyelashes trembled, and her feet, which had just stepped high, stopped on the threshold, but she didn't have the courage to step out for a moment.
"Come back?" Ye Ruchuan turned his head, yelled, retracted his legs, and jumped up.
"Uncle, jar, jar--" the doctor shouted.
Ye Ruchuan pulled out the bottle that was still sucking on his legs, and he didn't even have time to put his rolled trouser legs, so he ran out.
Su Zhong got out of the carriage, hurriedly walked in, walked to the main hall, and saw Ye Ruchuan jogging out and stopping.
"How is it? What happened today?" Ye Ruchuan asked impatiently.
Su Zhong looked up and saw the female shopkeeper following him from the back hall. He looked at him and felt uncomfortable. He opened his mouth and felt a little afraid to say it.
During the time when the female princess came back to treat King Zheng Long, Su Zhong often ran to the water, so how could he not see that the female princess' attitude towards King Zheng Long changed drastically, and the two were very close. It seemed that the female princess no longer minded the rumors between the female shopkeeper and King Zheng Long. Su Zhong even had a feeling that even if they were in love now, the female princess would not object.
So after she left, Su Zhong thought that the two of them would have lost their biggest concerns and would have met frequently. But to Su Zhong's surprise, the female shopkeeper and Zheng Longwang did not meet privately, not even once. At first, he was puzzled, but later he understood.
The two should still be concerned. If someone knows about the relationship, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the female princess.
So at this moment, facing the female shopkeeper, Su Zhongshi couldn't bear to let her know the news.
"What the hell is wrong? Is there something wrong with the water?" Ye Ruchuan urged.
"There is no big deal in the water." Su Zhong finally said.
"What's that? Today many people can't pay taxes and are caught again?"
Su Zhong shook his head again: "Shuihui will be fine. The people who were arrested a few days ago were also released."
Ye Ruchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Su Zhong again: "But King Zheng Long... He went to the provincial capital, and it is said that he was going to meet Governor Xue..."
Ye Ruchuan was stunned. Su Zhong looked at the female leader who was staring at him, "Everyone outside was very happy, saying that he was welcomed by people from the provincial capital with his own eyes. This time, he wanted to make sense with Governor Xue. Maybe when King Zheng Long came back, the tax increase would be cancelled. What was going on in the past and what would happen in the future. But..."
He hesitated. "But I rushed to Shuihui to find the Sanzhu House, but the door was closed. I waited for a long time and finally saw an acquaintance. I let me in. I didn't see the Sanzhu House. Instead, I happened to see the young master rushing out with a gun in his hand, saying that he would chase the Grand Boss, and even death would be in front of the Grand Boss. He was stopped by many people..."
Ye Yunjin suddenly shook.
"Female shopkeeper!" Su Zhong shouted. Ye Ruchuan turned his head and saw that something was wrong with his sister, so he hurriedly reached out to support him.
"Yun Jin, what's wrong with you!"
Just as the doctor didn't leave, Ye Ruchuan hurriedly asked someone to call him.
Ye Yunjin said it was okay, closed her eyes, and when the dizziness just now passed, she whispered to her brother to help him in and sat down.
Ye Ruchuan sent someone to send brown sugar water for his sister to drink, and then he sent the idle man away and frowned: "What does this mean?"
Su Zhong looked heavy: "I don't know the specifics. Later, when I heard that the people from the Water Club discussed how to deal with it last night, a specialist from Xue Dafu came, Xun Dashou, who saw the Dragon King alone. After Xun Dashou left, the people from the Water Club did not sleep all night, and the light was lit until dawn. Then this morning, the third leader and the others sent Zheng Longwang away, saying that the youngest master did not agree, was knocked out, woke up and wanted to go again, and I happened to be caught..."
His voice lowered and finally stopped. Ye Ruchuan was also silent. The room was silent.
Ye Ruchuan was stunned for a moment, looked at his sister, closed his eyes when he saw someone, leaning on the back of the chair, as if he had entered a state of concentration, so he asked Su Zhong to go out first.
When only he and his sister were left in the room, he was about to go up and persuade her to rest, Ye Yunjin suddenly opened her eyes, said nothing, and walked out quickly, which scared Ye Ruchuan and hurriedly stopped him.
"It's so late, where are you going?"
Ye Yunjin gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry!" After that, he pushed Ye Ruchuan away.
"Come back for me!"
Ye Ruchuan pulled his sister's hand hard regardless of everything.
"You won't want to chase people?"
Ye Ruchuan felt his heart beating violently, "Is that true?"
He stared at Ye Yunjin's blood-colored face, whispered in a low voice, and asked carefully. Seeing her slowly lifting her eyelids and looking at her, there was no sign of denial.
The rumors about his sister and Zheng Longwang have been heard of for decades, and of course he has heard of them a long time ago, but he has never dared to ask.
Ye Ruchuan was in a state of confusion for a moment, and didn't know what it felt, so he calmed down: "That snow is here..."
"Xuezhi belongs to Zheng Longwang."
Ye Yunjin interrupted his brother's question, gritted his teeth, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.
"He has been the Dragon King for a lifetime and has been used to protecting people. Now he has to take care of his subordinates and Mito. Even if he dies, I will not stop him. I don't have the qualifications. I just don't want to give up! He is too cruel! I want to ask him, at least, Xue Zhi is his flesh and blood, and he is determined not to reply, so why doesn't he even have a word of explanation..."
"Are you crazy?" Ye Ruchuan grabbed one of his sister's cold hand desperately.
"What if you really chase after me, what if others know? Will the Su family let go of the big piece of meat like Tiandexing? Also, if you don't want to consider your reputation, you should also consider Xuezhi."
Ye Yunjin cried and said nothing. Ye Ruchuan felt that his sister's hand was getting weaker, and he finally quit his strength. He was about to persuade her a few more words when he heard the sound of slapping the door, and went over to open the door. Seeing Su Zhong turn back, he said that the third leader of the Water Society had come and asked to see the female shopkeeper, and he had already come in.
Ye Yunjin was stunned, wiped her face, turned around, and saw Wang Niqiu standing outside the door. Ye Ruchuan invited someone in, glanced at her sister, retreated himself, closed the door, and guarded outside.
Wang Niqiu's face was calm. After bowing to Ye Yunjin with his fists, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it on it.
"This was what the boss told me to transfer to the female boss last night. Please check it out."
Ye Yunjin stood up, didn't answer, and just asked: "Did those people know about the cellar?"
Wang Niqiu put the envelope with fire paint on the table, stood up slowly, and whispered. Then, before Ye Yunjin asked again, he said, "The cellar from that time was located in a hidden cave in the deep mountains, mostly gold. In recent years, the boss was probably afraid of accidents and trusted him. I took care of it and secretly produced most of them. I exchanged it into US dollars through reliable people and stored it in several different foreign banks, with the total number equivalent to about 20 million yuan in silver dollars."
"The things in the envelope are all the account information and seals. The master said that the female boss would transfer this to Commander He. The people from the Water Society would also leave it to him. If he needs it, I will take my brothers with me and follow the order."
Ye Yunjin raised his slightly trembling hand and touched the kraft paper envelope, "What about him, what plan does he have? You should be able to get out of here..."
Wang Niqiu was silent.
Ye Yunjin took a breath slowly, stared at him, and spoke again, and his voice turned to a steady state: "It's good or bad, just tell me."
"In case, I buried a lot of explosives in the cave as the boss told me. The boss would bring Xue Daofu in, and then..."
He stopped, his eyes seemed to be congested and slightly red.
Ye Yunjin slowly carried her back over.
After a while, Wang Niqiu continued: "I begged the boss last night, and I went for him, but he refused. He said that he had made a profit in his life. If he didn't take action in person, the one named Xue would probably not be with him. Xue Dao's blessings have caused trouble to Sichuan for many years, and he wanted to get rid of him. The one named Xue died, which would also make it easier for Commander He to act..."
Ye Yunjin said in a hoarse voice: "Are you going to say nothing else?"
Wang Niqiu shook his head: "It's gone."
Ye Yunjin held the envelope on the table, slowly clenched his fingers, making his knuckles turn white.
"Wang Niqiu, I saved you and met your sworn brother. He has been living for others all his life..."
She suddenly murmured.
Wang Niqiu stared at the back of the female leader in a daze, and was silent.
"I understand. I will turn things intact as he told me."
