After returning, the county magistrate did not directly tell the location of the Ye family. He only said that the medical center would know him and he could ask the people at the medical center.

The purpose of this is to delay time, give the Ye family some opportunities to think, and find some ways to get along, so that he can feel at ease.

After hearing what the county magistrate said, the prefect acted very quickly and went directly to the medical clinic to ask someone.

The helpers had not received any notification. They only knew that Ye Qingran had changed the head of the medical clinic overnight. They did not know whether their identities could be revealed to the prefect, so they all tried to deal with it in a perfunctory manner.

But the importance of this matter in the prefect's heart was beyond their imagination.

Seeing their attitude, the prefect was a little anxious, and he was more sure in his heart that the person he saw was Ye Guodong, otherwise these people would not be embarrassed to reveal Ye Guodong's identity, so after his patience was exhausted, he directly questioned them one by one.

When he arrived at Shen Yi, the county magistrate gave him a look and asked him to speak directly. Only then did he dare to say: "I remembered, this man is from a nearby village, not far from the town, I can Show the way, sir."

Upon hearing this, the irritability in the prefect's heart immediately dissipated, and he was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, as long as you can find him, you will be rewarded heavily!"

After speaking, he paused and said, "Then do you know what this person's name is?"

Shen Yi hesitated and shook his head: "I don't know."

The prefect was a little disappointed, but he understood in his heart.

If this is really Ye Guodong's family, they will definitely change their names when they come out. Even if they know it, it may not be their real name. If you want to confirm his identity, you have to see him in person.

After saying that, he let Shen Yi lead the way and rushed to the village as quickly as possible.

Shen Yi was watching the county magistrate's wishes along the way, but the magistrate thought in his heart that he would give Ye Qingran and the others enough time. As for how they would respond, it would all depend on their intelligence.

When arriving at the door of Ye's house, the prefect was more nervous than anyone else.

The county magistrate wisely stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting: "Is anyone at home?"

There was no movement inside, and the county magistrate's heart skipped a beat. Did the Ye family just run away? So what is he going to do?

But fortunately, it only took a moment before Ye Qingran's voice sounded inside. She walked out and asked, "Here, who is it?"

After she opened the door and saw the people and officers and soldiers outside, she pretended to be surprised and saluted, "Ye Qingran, a common man, has seen the county magistrate. Is this the magistrate?"

Seeing the county magistrate nod, she bowed respectfully and said, "I have met the magistrate. I don't know that the two adults came to my humble residence in person and missed the reception from afar. Please don't blame me."

She stepped aside, indicating that they could enter.

Judging from her indifferent expression, he must have found a solution. The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed softly.

When the magistrate heard that her surname was Ye, he was a little excited: "Is your surname Ye?"

"Yes, my lord."

Ye Qingran was also nervous at this time, but seeing that the magistrate didn't look serious, he probably wasn't here to arrest anyone, so she didn't act rashly.

In fact, she was holding a dagger in her hand.

If the prefect was here to take credit, she would kill him without hesitation and dispose of the body as if it had never happened. But that was not the case now. She smiled. , put away the dagger.

The magistrate took a step forward, his voice trembling: "You look like... you do look like... you are the emperor..."

Halfway through the words, he realized that he was a little impulsive again, so he changed his words and asked, "Is your father here?"

Ye Qingran could tell from just a few words that he recognized her.

Sure enough, he was not an ordinary official. He must have participated in the conferment ceremony and seen her appearance. It was a pity that she did not remember this person.

But he didn't expose himself, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

Her eyes darkened: "Sir, please go in and talk. My father is in the main room."

"well……"

The prefect couldn't wait to walk in and saw Ye Guodong sitting on the main seat.

"General Ye! It turns out...it's really you!"

He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. His eyes turned red immediately and he lost the aura of a high-ranking official. He walked forward and knelt down directly, "I knew you were not dead. Fortunately, you are not dead..."

When Ye Guodong saw him, he stood up in shock: "Are you the governor of Shuntian? How could it be you? Shouldn't you be in the capital?"

"No, I am no longer the prefect of Shuntian. I am just the prefect of this place."

The prefect calmed down and said, "Ever since I learned that the general was exiled, I have been worried every day, but there is nothing I can do. Now that I can see that the general is still alive and with his wife and children, I am finally relieved."

Seeing that the two were old acquaintances, Ye Qingran was completely relieved. Such people would never report them, otherwise there would be no need to go through all the trouble to find them, just to confirm that Ye Guodong was alive.

Ye Guodong is not stupid. When he heard it, he knew that he was relegated because of his pleading. He also blamed himself: "Why do you have to do this? I am already guilty. Even if you find me, it will only hurt you again." ."

The magistrate shook his head: "The general once saved my life. A small favor is not worth mentioning. If you really think about it, my life belongs to the general. If the general hadn't sacrificed his life to save me, my life would have been lost. This official position What’s the point?”

"You...sigh."

Ye Guodong was also a little helpless, "It's good if it's you, it's good if it's you. I really thought I was going to die from this today, but now I owe you a life."

Ye Qingran poured tea for the prefect, but the prefect waved his hand and refused to take it: "Although things have changed in the palace, you are still the queen in my heart. I dare not take this tea."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Now that our family is guilty, our past identities no longer exist. It's okay, Your Majesty, if you don't treat us as prisoners. We don't need to dwell on the past."

Ye Guodong also added: "Ran'er is right, I am no longer a general. I just want to be a commoner and live a stable life."

After hearing what they said, the prefect hesitantly took the tea cup and sighed: "Times have passed and the situation in the government has changed. It's better that I'm not in the capital, so as not to get involved again and cause some trouble."

After he finished speaking, he reminisced with Ye Guodong. Ye Qingran left them alone to talk, and went out to talk to the county magistrate: "Thank you for your help, sir. We are safe, and it is indispensable for your benefit. The magistrate and my father are old acquaintances. If Knowing that you are taking care of us, I will definitely give you a reward."

Hearing this, the county magistrate smiled and said: "Then I borrowed the master's good luck. As expected of the master, he really knows things well. He must have known that the visitor was a noble person, so he stayed with peace of mind, right?"

Ye Qingran couldn't answer, so he could only nod silently, agreeing with his guess.
