We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

The magistrate looked around at the environment of the house and felt a little unbearable: "Although I am no longer a high-ranking official, I still live a good life. How can I live in such a rough place?"

He turned to look at Ye Guodong, "Brother Ye, why don't you come live with me in my house? With me here, no one will recognize you, which is considered safe. Besides, the area under my jurisdiction is also remote, so I can recognize you." There are almost no people there, so you can rest assured.”

Ye Guodong smiled: "I know you have good intentions, but there is nothing wrong with living in seclusion in this village. Going to your place, even though I know who you are, but after all, you are living under someone else's roof, and I won't feel at ease. Besides, your house There are officials coming and going from the boss, if you are not careful and are discovered, you will be implicated and your life will be in danger."

He sighed, "You have saved my life and my family's life. All the previous kindnesses have been wiped out. You will not owe me anything from now on, so you don't need to use your name to protect me and my family. You can be your prefect in peace, etc." If there is a chance in the future, I will return to the capital."

The magistrate shook his head: "I don't want to go back to the capital anymore. The situation is turbulent and no one can be alone in it. Rather than drifting with the tide in there, it is better to live a stable life here."

His eyes were firm, "If I have the chance to go back, I will take you back with me. I will do my best to help you retract your confession, clear your grievances, and restore your innocence!"

Ye Guodong interrupted him hastily: "No, don't think about helping us retract our confession. If there was a chance to retract our confession, we would not be in this situation. Don't you understand? I don't want to implicate you because of my affairs, and no one will. Easy, you also have your own wife and children, you should always take care of them."

The prefect opened his mouth and found that he really had nothing to refute, so he had to stay silent and stop talking.

"There is no need to blame yourself. It is not easy for me to live a stable life now, but I am very satisfied with such ordinary happiness. There is nothing wrong with it."

"I understand."

The prefect no longer bothered about how to take them away and how to help them hide their identities. After all, Ye Guodong was once a high-spirited general who was decisive in killing. Now he stayed in the small village only after thinking about it. Why should he force it?

In the evening, Mrs. Jiang cooked a large table of food for the prefect.

Ye Qingran mentioned the previous assassination and asked, "Does the magistrate know if there are still people in the capital who are keeping an eye on our family?"

The prefect also had a serious expression: "I have been investigating your route, but it was interrupted when we reached Wan'an Town. After that, I have been tracing whether you are still alive, but I have found nothing."

He was a little helpless, "I was even desperate. I thought you died on the road. Now it seems that you hid it too well."

They turned their attention to Ye Qingran, which made Ye Qingran feel a little embarrassed: "This is also a helpless move. After all, it is too dangerous to expose your whereabouts. Please forgive me."

The prefect shook his head: "I'm not blaming you, I just want to say that you are right. Because when I was investigating, I really met people who were investigating your whereabouts like me. As you said, they are from the capital city people."

He frowned, "That person has more eyes and abilities than me. His power should be above mine, or even much higher than mine. I didn't dare to confront him head-on, so I stopped and thought about it for a while before investigating again." . Then I turned around to investigate the person, and found out that the person was none other than Prime Minister Wang."

"Prime Minister Wang?" Ye Qingran was surprised.

She thought that Concubine Xian's minions were secretly causing trouble, but she didn't think about Prime Minister Wang.

After all, their whereabouts were hidden so well. Most people, like the prefect, thought they had died on the road. They didn't expect that there would be someone so persistent in chasing them. It was simply terrifying.

But knowing who it is now is better than not knowing, but I have to rethink my future strategies.

"I will continue to investigate. When I find out Prime Minister Wang's plan, I will inform you so that you can prepare early." The prefect nodded.

Ye Guodong shook his head: "Have you forgotten what I said? I don't want to implicate you. With Prime Minister Wang's power, your actions will definitely be noticed by him. If he turns his finger on you and reports the previous relationship between me and you to the emperor, Friendship, your life may be at stake, so don’t check anymore.”

"Yes, sir, just protect yourself first. We have a way to solve it. If we implicate you, we will be even more anxious and more problems will arise."

Ye Qingran also said the same thing, but the magistrate felt unhappy.

I finally found a benefactor, but in the end, I couldn't help him at all. I was helpless.

Seeing his mood, Ye Qingran comforted him: "My lord, there is no need to be depressed. If it had not been for your consideration today, we would have suffered a disaster if it had been someone else. This is already the greatest help, thank you very much, lord!"

"This... this is nothing at all." The prefect poured a glass of wine. "Prime Minister Wang has suppressed General Ye before, and now he wants to kill everyone. How can I sit idly by and ignore such a thing?"

"It is not to sit back and do nothing, but to take into account the overall situation. Sir, think carefully, if you are in danger because of us, your wife, children, and so many people in your family will be beheaded, even those who have come into contact with us in this town People, all the villagers on this road will be implicated, this is called affecting the whole body, sir, think twice!"

Ye Qingran advised him, "We understand your thoughts, but these matters need long-term consideration and cannot be rushed."

The prefect stopped talking and just drank, hoping to relieve the depression in his heart.

When the prefect was about to leave the next day, Ye Qingran went to see him off and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving me. Please take care of yourself in the future and beware of Prime Minister Wang transferring his anger to you."

"I know, you should be more careful. If you want to develop in a county or other places in the future, as long as it is within the territory under my jurisdiction, you can come to me if you have any problems. I will try my best to help you solve it."

"Thank you, sir."

After seeing the prefect off, Ye Qingran looked at their leaving figures and had a new plan in mind.

Originally, she wanted to settle in this village or town for a while, but the current situation did not allow her to do so. She had to go back and discuss with her parents to leave here.

Prime Minister Wang already knows their location. Now that the prefect is staying here, there is no guarantee that he will not fall into the ears of the prime minister. If they don't leave, they will only harm the prefect and the people here. They themselves will not be safe, and the sooner they It's better to leave, only in this way can you be a little safer.
