Snow Eagle Lord: The Lord of Moxue Kingdom in Douluo Continent

"It's not related to Yuan Ye, but it's related to the eldest lady of the Ye family who has left the cabinet." Mu Liuyun replied.

"Miss Ye family, I don't know much about it." Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, "When I came here to take office, Miss Ye family had already married. I heard from others that she married into her husband's family out of town. Even if she comes back on weekdays, , as long as there is nothing that requires help from the government, I have no way of knowing."

"It doesn't matter, what about Mr. Ye? Mr. Li, have you ever had any dealings with Mr. Ye?" Mu Liuyun didn't expect Li Yuan to be familiar with Ye Linglan, so he asked about someone else.

"I do know Ye Yuanwai a lot." Li Yuan replied, "Not to mention that the Yamen had to send people to the scene every time we built roads and donated bridges. Let's just say that when Mrs. Ye was seriously ill, Yuan Wai Ye was adopted from my family. A child came into his lap, and then Mrs. Ye passed away. In order to pray for the adopted child, Mr. Ye let several families have children to start their own businesses, and also gave them some silver, so that they could use it to buy a small yard or make a house. Some small businesses.

For decades, no family in Xisi County had released so many servants in exchange for good citizenship, so I was deeply impressed by this incident. "

"How many servants did Yuanwai Ye redeem? Who provided the money for the county government?" Mu Liuyun asked quickly.

If it was about other things, Mu Liuyun wouldn't dare to tell anyone about it, but if it was about redemption, it would really come to her doorstep!In the past few years, she has asked Jiang Jin to help her change her identity and get a good status intermittently, almost enough times to get ten fingers. The reason why she still resorted to false identities in private was mainly because the cost of redeeming her good status was too high. She couldn't ignore her mother's hard-earned money from running a teahouse.

The Darui Dynasty's control over nationality was quite strict during the reign of the former emperor, and could never be exceeded. However, after the new emperor came to power, it was relaxed a lot. In addition to the fact that the lowly status still had to wait for the emperor's amnesty before it could be changed, and Yuan Mu and the like In addition to the fact that noble status needs to be determined by blood, the boundary between good status and slave status is not so clear. Slaves are beginning to be allowed to classify themselves as good status through self-redemption.

It's just that the cost of redeeming one's good status is not small. As a slave who redeems himself, he not only has to pay a large amount of redemption money to his master's family, but also has to pay a redemption fee to the local government. After collecting this Only if he has money, the government will cancel the person's former slave status and re-register him as a good citizen.

Although I have benefited a lot from being a slave to a good one, not only can I have more choices, but my future heirs will not have to be slaves and do the work of serving others, but even if they are slaves of a wealthy family, The monthly firewood payment is not very generous. Even if I save for most of my life, I may only be able to save the ransom money that the government wants to collect. It is still far from enough to pay the master's family.

Yuan Wai wanted to pray for his adopted child, so he took the initiative to let some of his servants out. It was reasonable not to accept the large sum of money for self-redemption. If he had also paid for the ransom money handed over to the Yamen, that would be a big deal. A lot of money has been spent!

"There are eight people in total, and Yuan Ye also came to get the money." The answer Li Yuan gave was not what Mu Liuyun expected.

"Hey! This member Ye is so generous! If you have such a large sum of money to pray for the child, wouldn't it be better to go to the temple to build a golden body for the Bodhisattva?" Mu Liuyun made some calculations in his mind. The amount of silver that came down made her feel painful.

Li Yuan smiled: "Ye Yuanwai said that donating to the temple is to cultivate the afterlife. He wanted to pray for this life for his adopted son, so he let a few promising families have children to prevent them from becoming talented people in the government. , In the future, these people will have some gratitude for their family, and if their son encounters difficulties a hundred years later, these people will not hesitate to help him, and it will be worth it."

"Ye Yuanwai is a wise man. He thinks long-term. I admire him! I admire him!" Mu Liuyun had to admit that Ye Yuanwai's thinking was quite smart, and what he did was not so much a vain prayer. It is actual merit accumulation.

Why is a person who is so considerate about his adopted heir so hard-hearted towards his only biological daughter, even if he is told clearly that her daughter may be killed by her son-in-law, she remains indifferent?

"Master Li, does he know how old the stepchild is in Yuan Yuan's family?" Yuan Mu listened in silence for a while and then asked.

"Before Mrs. Ye passed away, Ye Yuanwai brought the young master to the Yamen to handle various matters. Therefore, he had a chance encounter with the young master. The young master is fourteen this year, and Yuan Wai invites Mr. Ye to stay at home on weekdays. Teaching academics." Li Yuan replied.

"Mr. Li, have you ever heard Mr. Ye mention his daughter?"

"I've never heard of it." Li Yuan shook his head and suddenly remembered something, "But when Mrs. Ye passed away, I went to the Ye family to express my condolences. I did see a woman getting up in a hurry and going to the inner house to avoid strangers. I heard from the servants of the Ye family that that It was Miss Ye who went home for the funeral. Apart from that, I have never seen her again, nor have I ever heard Yuan Yue mention her."

After finishing speaking, he finally couldn't bear his curiosity and asked, "I wonder what this Miss Ye family has committed?"

"She didn't commit any crime," Mu Liuyun sighed, "She just died with her head in a different place, and her husband's family is under heavy suspicion."

Li Yuan was startled, and after thinking about what Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu asked before, he roughly guessed that they had a bad start with the Ye family. Although he didn't understand why, but based on his understanding of the Ye family's situation, As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing more I can do to help at the moment, so I simply won't ask further to avoid being inappropriate.

"Master Yuan, Mr. Mu, if you need me for anything, just ask." So he politely said to the two of them.

"With Master Li's words, I feel at ease!" Mu Liuyun smiled at him, "If there is any need for Master Li's help in the future, I will definitely come and bother you again!"

Li Yuan spoke in an unhurried tone, and his attitude towards Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu was indifferent and polite. There was no difference because of Mu Liuyun's low rank or Yuan Mu's noble birth, as if these two people were in his eyes. No different.

The most indispensable thing in the officialdom is people who can make the most of the situation. Mu Liuyun usually saw many "top people" in the yamen who flattered the superiors and suppressed the inferiors. When faced with Li Yuan's attitude at first glance, he was a little dissatisfied. He was a little uncomfortable and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Mu, fearing that Yuan Mu would be displeased because Li Yuan was not attentive enough.

However, Yuan Mu didn't seem to care much about this, his expression remained as usual.This made Mu Liuyun couldn't help but wonder, could he be a little more relaxed and not be so cautious and follow every step?

As soon as the idea came up, she suppressed it again.

Who is Li Yuan?Judging from his talents and academics, he has a great reputation. If he had not recommended himself to go out to fight chaos, he could at least get a vacant job in the capital.From a more internal perspective, he is a real man, and there are not so many secrets to hide. How can I learn to be confident and comfortable like him?
