Seeing Ye Hongfang's posture, the eunuch was afraid that he would fight them to the death today, and he was also afraid that if he really fought, no matter whether he won or lost, it was just that the time to enter the capital would inevitably be delayed, when the emperor and King Ning , None of which made him feel guilty.

"Ye Hongfang," the eunuch said coldly, "Do you know that my father-in-law is working for the Holy One, and if you stop the miscellaneous family, it is tantamount to fighting against the Holy One, and it is not just a matter of losing your head alone , There are many domestic slaves behind you, and they will be punished and distributed."

Ye Xiaozhou didn't know what his father's crime was for confronting this eunuch from the capital, but he only knew that behind this greasy-faced father-in-law was the emperor, someone their Ye family couldn't afford to offend, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I'll go with them, don't stop me."

"Xiao Zhou," Ye Hongfang looked at him with a complicated expression, "Even if Father risked his life, he wouldn't let you marry and go to Beijing!"

Of course Ye Hongfang understood what would happen if he confronted the emperor, but before he brought people here to stop them, he had already prepared to abandon the entire Ye family property and take his son and Jiang Fuliu to the end of the world. planned.

He has always acted calmly, but Ye Xiaozhou is like his weakness, slanting across his chest, making him unable to take care of other things for a while.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaozhou couldn't be happy at all. He was very afraid that his father would be implicated by it, so he continued to persuade: "Father, don't be so impulsive. It's not like you won't be able to see him when you come to the capital in the future." I'm..."

How could Ye Hongfang not be in a hurry, and how could he not be impulsive, seeing that his son was about to jump into the wolf's den, if he didn't stop him at this time, he might see Ye Xiaozhou's body next time he came to Beijing dead body.

At the same time, more than a dozen officers and soldiers from the Pingjiang government office suddenly rushed in outside the Ye residence. After entering the door, they were obviously taken aback when they saw the situation inside the residence, but they still said sternly: "Ye Hongfang, someone reported you for selling private goods. Salt, privately manufactured ironware, the arrest warrant has been issued, you must go with us now."

"Okay," the eunuch was overjoyed, and said unforgivingly, "How dare you do such a thing! Hurry up and catch Ye Xiaozhou, when the time comes, Ye Xiaozhou will become a concubine, and he will also be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Prince Ning might be willing to rescue you."

Originally, the servants and servants behind him were quite firm, but now that something happened again, they couldn't make up their minds. If Ye Hongfang was captured, they would have no leader. Loyal protection of the master is one thing, but if he is captured It is another matter to sit and distribute.

Ye Hongfang glanced at the officers and soldiers in the government office, then at Ye Xiaozhou, and finally sighed. That Jingmin had planned so hard, how could it be possible that he, Ye Hongfang, would not take this step?

"In that case, can you allow Ye to say a few words to Gouzi?" Ye Hongfang finally compromised.

The eunuch thought for a moment, thinking of the content of the rather brief secret letter sent by King Ning, he was very embarrassed: "Master Ye, this is also an urgent matter, and we really don't want to waste another moment. If you speak your own words, there is still time for you to go to the capital after you come out of the government office."

"Let's take our leave here, Mr. Ye, please stay."

After speaking, the eunuch waved at the garrisons, and then he wanted to take Ye Xiaozhou and the others away.

Ye Hongfang saw that there was no chance to talk to Ye Xiaozhou in private, so he could only remind him loudly: "Xiaozhou, when you arrive in the palace, remember to endure as long as you can, and don't trust others easily... and those two, please watch My family is a small boat, don't let him get into trouble."

Ye Xiaozhou's eyes turned red again, and he said in a muffled voice, "I see, Dad."

"Master Ye, don't worry, we will take good care of the young master." Cheng Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.

Ye Hongfang listened to the young man's calm tone, and realized that he might be a person who would not be surprised. With him accompanying his son, Ye Hongfang reluctantly let go of his heart.

But he still wrinkled his eyes tightly, looking at the direction in which the group of people left with great concern.

Apart from rushing day and night along the way, Ye Xiaozhou had to admit that the carriage was extremely spacious and comfortable, and that flattering eunuch also called him all day long, no matter what he wanted, he They immediately sent people to find them.

At the same time, he was staring at him all the time, as if afraid that he would run away, wishing that those eyes would stick to him.

During this period, Chen Mengchu and Cheng Xiaofeng often came to chat with him to relieve boredom.

Cheng Xiaofeng usually doesn't talk very much, only Chen Mengchu started talking non-stop when he got in the car, she first looked at the layout of Ye Xiaozhou's car, and said with emotion: "The carriage that the master and the slave sit in is really different. Same, I thought our carriage was spacious enough... Wow, the cushion on this carriage is too soft, sitting on this cushion, even the bumps on the road are much better."

Ye Xiaozhou had a frowning look from beginning to end.

"Why are you so unhappy? Anyway, if you want to be a princess, rich clothes and jade are indispensable. You have to change your place to be your master. You are so good-looking. No matter whether it is Prince Ning or any prince, he will like you." " Chen Mengchu comforted him with a smile.

Ye Xiaozhou bored himself in the corner, he was always optimistic, but this time it was hard to cheer up again: "How can I be happy, my father may still be in prison now, besides, I don't know that prince well." I'm familiar with it, I haven't even seen it before, why did he ask the emperor to point me to him? There must be a conspiracy in it."

Chen Mengchu teased him and said, "Master is really smart, you can guess it."

Ye Xiaozhou rolled his eyes at him, and retorted: "I'm not a fool."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "I don't think there is anything good about me. Although I don't know what they are going to do, I think it must be targeting my father."

"That's not necessarily the case," Cheng Xiaofeng said suddenly, "Although Mr. Ye is rich, it may not be worth the calculations of the prince and emperor in the capital. I think there may be other secrets behind him."

Ye Xiaozhou raised his eyes suddenly and asked, "Then what do you think is hidden?"

Cheng Xiaofeng looked a little confused: "I don't know why."

"That's right." Ye Xiaozhou sighed slightly. After all, Cheng Xiaofeng had only known him not long ago, and he only had a half-knowledge about the Ye family, so how could he just say something casually.

The atmosphere in the carriage quickly cooled down.

It was Chen Mengchu who was the first to break the dull atmosphere: "Last night when the carriage stopped for repairs, I heard those officers and soldiers talking about that Lord Ning in private, saying that he fell off his horse on the hunting ground when he was 13 years old, and was driven mad by him again." His horse kicked him, and he has been a disabled man since then, and he has never been able to stand up again."

Although the other two didn't respond, Chen Mengchu still said with relish: "Besides, I heard that King Ning has a violent temper and is moody. There are many courtiers in the capital who want to curry favor with him, so they often send some beauties to the palace. Guess what? ?”

No one in the car wanted to talk to her.

Chen Mengchu could also continue to say: "Those beauties were thrown at the gates of those courtiers the next day, and their lower bodies... were all cut off!"

Ye Xiaozhou was startled suddenly by his brain, and glared at her angrily: "Chen Mengchu, are you deliberately saying this because you are afraid that I won't be sad enough?"

Cheng Xiaofeng couldn't listen anymore: "What are you scaring him for? Say something nice."

"What I'm telling is the truth, and I heard it from the officers and soldiers. I didn't talk nonsense, and I didn't add any embellishments." Chen Mengchu still smiled, "There are good things to say, and they also said that Prince Ning is handsome and beautiful. He has extensive knowledge and is unparalleled in the world, so even if he loses two legs, he is still the dream lover of many girls and young masters in the capital, so King Ning is not in a hurry, but these people are in a hurry to visit famous doctors for him."

Ye Xiaozhou didn't feel much happy after hearing this, but even more depressed.

----

Their cars and horses didn't stop much along the way, and they took shortcuts all the way, so they arrived in Shangjing in the afternoon of No. 14, the deadline.

Different from the large and small towns passing by along the road, this capital city can be seen from a distance with its towering city walls. Once you step into the city, you will be surrounded by supreme prosperity. , but this is the imperial capital after all, and the scale of the city is much larger than that of Pingjiang, and the closer it is to the imperial palace, the stricter and more orderly it will be.

"This is Shangjing," Chen Mengchu said with emotion as he lifted the curtain of the car, "It's not far from what I imagined."

After all, he has seen the extravagant and inhuman Ye Mansion, Chen Mengchu now feels that the roads in Shangjing are paved with gold bricks, which is probably not so strange.

Prince Ning's Mansion was built next to the Imperial Palace, and it was located on the edge of the Imperial Palace. It was not much different from Ye Mansion in scale. It was well-repaired, but it was not as luxurious and prosperous as Ye Mansion.

"My lord said that due to the unavoidable etiquette, the two of you can't meet before you get married, so the lord can't greet you in person," a middle-aged man with the appearance of an official said to Ye Xiaozhou, "Today I have to wrong you and live in the side hall. .”

Ye Xiaozhou was in a very bad mood and didn't want to answer, so Cheng Xiaofeng smiled behind him and said, "My son has been driving for half a month, and he must have been exhausted all the way. Please forgive me."

The official immediately said: "It's the slave who didn't think carefully, young master, the slave will take you to the side hall to rest."

Ye Xiaozhou remembered Ye Hongfang's words, and he understood that he was living under someone else's fence now, and he could no longer be as petty as he was in Ye's mansion.

He forced a smile at the housekeeper, and then said softly: "Then I'll have to work."

After thinking for a while, he politely added another question: "I heard that King Ning was ill, is he better now?"

"Thanks to the young master, the prince's complexion has improved a lot, and he will be a spirited groom tomorrow."

Ye Xiaozhou smiled on his face, but thought viciously in his heart, why didn't he die of illness?
