The daily life of the eldest son

"Ye Shaoqing, these are the clues I found from the assassins in the past few days."

Today it was Tang Xiao's turn to partner with others to protect Fu Ren, and the one who stayed by Ye Yi's side was another person who was traveling with him, named Lu Sheng.

As Ye Yi expected, the pursuit of Fu Ren has never stopped. Fortunately, Fu Ren also knows the way. After knowing why he was hunted down, he tried to avoid acting alone in the past few days. Everything needs to be linked with a colleague.

And the four people on Ye Yi's side teamed up in pairs, hiding in the dark to protect Fu Ren.

If Cui Shangshu was to be dealt a heavy blow, he still had to bring Fu Ren back to the capital alive without revealing their identities.

Ye Yi arranged the pile of miscellaneous things that Lu Sheng put on the table one by one.

"Is there a sign you recognize here?" Ye Yicai asked Lu Sheng after they were neatly arranged.

He didn't expect that Cui Shangshu would hire different killers to hunt down and kill Fu Ren, so it's no wonder that he has been in charge of the bureaucracy for many years but was never suspected by the emperor.

Lu Sheng looked at it carefully, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Ye Yi glanced at Lu Sheng, smiled, and didn't ask whether Lu Sheng really didn't know, or pretended not to know.

Ye Yi didn't say anything, just stared at the two rows of eight objects on the table and carefully recalled them. After thinking for a while, he picked out one object and two drawings.

The killers of various families used objects as tokens, and also used special tattoo patterns to prove their identities. Those two strange patterns were tattoos used to show their identities.

Ye Yi couldn't pick out any familiar items among the remaining five items, so Ye Yi wrapped them up.

"Have you found Miss Cui?"

Lu Sheng shook his head again, and said: "Fu Ren is extremely vigilant, we dare not follow too closely, and only a few suspicious points have been identified so far."

"Then you will work harder today," Ye Yi said, "Go around and check."

"Yes."

"Be careful." Ye Yiduo instructed.

Lu Sheng was taken aback, and when he left the room, his expression became slightly subtle.

Ye Yi sat there alone and thought for a while, then got up and walked outside.

When I saw Fu Ren yesterday, I noticed that his mood was a little irritable. The continuous assassination must have annoyed Fu Ren. Although he knew that Fu Ren planned to take Miss Cui as a hostage in exchange for Fu Ying's life, there was no guarantee that he would not Killing with rage.

He doesn't know Fu Ren well, and he can't predict Fu Ren's actions for the time being, maybe he should find another way.

While thinking about it, Ye Yi had already arrived at the door of Wang Taishou's study, and he could faintly hear the conversation coming from inside.

Tell the guard guarding the door to go in and let Ye Yi stand outside the door to wait. After a while, the guard came out and asked Ye Yi to go in.

Before Ye Yi could salute, Prefect Wang warmly greeted him: "You don't need to be too polite, come and sit down."

Ye Yi paused, but still saluted: "Thank you uncle."

After Ye Yi sat down, Wang Taishou asked kindly with a smile: "You and the three people you brought have been busy these few days. How is the case investigation going? If you have any difficulties, please tell me." , but don't be polite."

Ye Yi replied with a smile: "Your Majesty only let the four of us come to Puzhou to investigate the case, since I have already ordered the prefect to help, with the emperor's order, how dare I be polite to the prefect?"

"Hahahaha, I really can't blame you," Wang Taishou laughed loudly, "So, you want my help?"

"That's true," Ye Yi said frankly, "I want to ask the prefect to issue a reward warrant."

"Oh?" Wang Taishou became interested, "What kind of reward warrant?"

Only then did Ye Yi talk about his plan to Taishou Wang in an orderly manner, but he only said the part that required Taishou Wang's participation, and didn't say a word about the others.

After the negotiation was settled, Ye Yi left the study.

"Young Master Ye."

Walking to the garden, Ye Yi suddenly heard a gentle voice, the voice was pleasant, but it made Ye Yi sigh in annoyance.

Turning around following the sound, the smile on Ye Yi's face was obviously alienated: "Miss Wang."

Wang Yuqing looked at Ye Yi, then looked around, suddenly pointed to a viewing pavilion on the side of the garden and said to Ye Yi: "Can you bother Mr. Ye to move?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Ye Yi refused in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that he could take this opportunity to have a deep talk with Wang Yuqing, so he resisted the urge to refuse, and turned to the viewing pavilion beside him .

Wang Yuqing knew that Ye Yi couldn't avoid her, so he was ready to tangle with Ye Yi, but he didn't expect Ye Yi to be so straightforward. Although he didn't even bother to hide his boredom, he didn't embarrass her anyway. .

The two sat opposite each other at the stone table in the viewing pavilion, and Wang Yuqing ordered the maidservant behind him to put a cup of hot soup in front of Ye Yi.

"Young Master Ye seems to be very busy these few days, so I went to the kitchen to make soup to replenish your body."

Ye Yi sighed, and said helplessly: "Miss Wang, can you let them retreat first? I have something to say to Miss Wang."

Hearing this, Wang Yuqing looked at Ye Yi suspiciously, thought for a while, and followed Ye Yi's words, and dismissed all the people who followed her.

"Master Ye, please tell me."

Ye Yi pushed away the soup cup in front of him, said with a slightly cold face, "My aunt is an elder and has always loved me very much, so I have always been unwilling to go against my aunt's wishes, as long as it is within my power, but this time , I am really powerless."

Wang Yuqing stared at Ye Yi intently, but said nothing.

Seeing that Wang Yuqing was silent, Ye Yi continued: "I'm not young anymore. My aunt thinks that when I marry a wife, I hope someone can take care of me. I understand, but I don't have any plans to get married, let alone... Wang Yuqing The girl didn't like me from the first time she saw me. Every move she made was because of her aunt's orders, and she was extremely perfunctory. Since Miss Wang is so reluctant, why don't you make it clear in front of her aunt? Miss Wang Is it unfair to treat me like this now?"

Wang Yuqing lowered his eyes and said in a low voice after a while, "I have no right to refuse."

"Why?" Ye Yi was puzzled.

Wang Yuqing looked up at Ye Yi, and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with Mr. Ye."

"Really?" Ye Yi sneered, "If that's the case, I'll ask my aunt to marry you to someone else. Anyway, even if you have to marry into the Ye family for some reason, you don't necessarily want to marry me, right? Is it? I have some cousins."

Surprised, Wang Yuqing suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Yi: "Madam thinks that I am the best match for your son."

"Compatible?" Ye Yi said with a smile, "I find it strange that you obey my aunt's advice, and now I hear you say that you have no right to refuse. I think you don't have much status in the Wang family, otherwise you wouldn't be sent here to be manipulated by others." , since you are not valued in the Wang family, why marry me, the eldest grandson of the Ye family? My aunt just wants to maintain the in-law relationship between the two families, so it doesn't matter who you marry?"
