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

There are some things that cannot be clearly understood by asking others. Only by asking Ye Qingran himself can we know what happened.

Logically speaking, when he learned about Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun's imprisonment, he should go back and tell Ye Guodong and Jiang directly, but he still wanted to go and see for himself first. He was worried about what danger Ye Qingran would encounter.

Soon, he arrived at the prison door.

There are many guards near the prison, but they don't seem to be very active. Instead, they are a little careless.

Ye Zhuoyu walked all the way without anyone stopping him. It wasn't until he was near the cell door that someone stopped him and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I want to go in and see my sister...to see if an old friend of mine can be accommodating? I'll be out soon."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of broken silver from his arms and weighed it, and there was at least fifty taels.

The guard looked hot, but he still shook his head: "My lord has an order, no one is allowed in. Anyone who disobeys will be punished."

"But……"

Before Ye Zhuoyu could finish speaking, the guard interrupted him: "You'd better leave quickly. The adults will come to interrogate the prisoner soon. If you are discovered, you won't be able to walk around without food."

Although he was a little reluctant, the guard also had good intentions. Ye Zhuoyu had no choice but to nod and leave: "Thank you."

He didn't talk about his relationship with Ye Qingran because he was worried that someone would find out that they were together. It would be troublesome if they were imprisoned together.

He himself didn't care, he was just afraid that his parents would be implicated. When the time came, Ye Qingran would not only have to worry about his own affairs, but also their safety, which would be a big loss.

Although they can't get in for the time being, they can always think of a way. Even if they can't think of it, not causing trouble is the best help.

Ye Zhuoyu walked all the way back, thinking about how to explain to his parents.

When they returned to the guest room, Ye Guodong and Mrs. Jiang had been waiting at the door. Seeing him with his head lowered all the way back, they knew something was wrong and immediately stepped forward and asked: "Zhuo Yu, what's going on over there at Ran'er? No." Could something really happen?"

Ye Zhuoyu sighed: "I didn't see them. After asking around, I only found out that they were imprisoned in the cell by the county magistrate for no reason. I didn't let them in even though I spent money to bribe them. There must have been some change in the middle. .”

Mrs. Jiang was a little frightened: "Isn't this Lord Prefect here? How could he just watch our Ran'er being imprisoned?"

"Maybe he didn't know, or maybe there was some misunderstanding."

Ye Guodong also had a solemn look on his face. He knew his friendship with the prefect, so he would not ignore it or even notify them when something like this happened.

But nothing is clear yet.

"What are we going to do now?" Mrs. Jiang was very anxious.

"Now that Ran'er and Chu Liu'an are locked up, they will probably not be able to get out for a while. I just don't know why they were arrested, and I don't know if their lives are in danger."

Ye Guodong paced back and forth, thinking about a solution in his heart, "No matter whether the prefect knows about this or not, I think I should go find him. Ran'er and Chu Qingyun absolutely cannot be the murderers, and I also believe that with their cautious With your temper, you will never do anything wrong.”

He thought for a long time before speaking again: "Zhuo Yu, you stay here and protect your mother while I go out."

But as soon as he took a few steps away from us, a boy came over with a few plates of snacks on the tray in his hand.

"This is a freshly made pastry. I heard that there are guests here, so I brought one over. Please use it."

The boy didn't do anything extra, he just put the tray on the table and left.

Ye Guodong's steps to go out immediately stopped and he looked at Ye Zhuoyu.

After watching the boy walk away, Mrs. Jiang hesitated and said: "If Ran'er and the others were arrested, it shouldn't be too safe according to our status. No one came to arrest us at this time, and even food was delivered. It's really strange. .”

Ye Guodong nodded: "There must be fraud in this."

"When I went to find out the news, the government officials were quite polite to me, so I don't think it was the county magistrate's intention."

Ye Zhuoyu walked to the table and looked at the food on the table, "Then Dong Liao may be the person who poisoned the inn, but he may not be the last or the only murderer. There must be other people behind him."

"Indeed, since they can poison the food in the inn, these snacks must not be eaten."

After Ye Guodong finished speaking, he raised his hand and knocked the snacks to the ground, "Humph, it seems they can't help but attack us all."

Now that he understands this truth, he must not leave them to find the prefect alone, otherwise he may be assassinated as soon as he goes out, and Ye Zhuoyu and Jiang will also be in danger.

Although Ye Qingran was protecting them along the way, it didn't mean that they didn't understand or know anything.

As a general who has been on the battlefield for many years, in addition to his brute strength, he also has the strategy and skill to face the enemy, and Ye Zhuoyu, as his son, is not bad at this.

They stayed in the courtyard and did not dare to rest. When the moon began to set, a black shadow finally rushed in through the courtyard door.

Seeing that they didn't kill each other because of the poison, the man in black was a little surprised, but he still rushed over with a knife without any hesitation.

Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu had already prepared to hide Jiang in a safe corner. To get to her, they had to break through the two lines of defense of Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu.

Ye Guodong first fought with the man in black. Although he had not fought for a long time and his martial arts was a bit rusty, he was still more than enough to deal with the man in black.

Seeing that his father could cope with it, Ye Zhuoyu did not rush forward to help. After all, he was worried that the man in black had helpers. He had to pay attention to the movements around him to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him.

After a few back and forth calls, Ye Guodong's expression became even more solemn.

Although the opponent's martial arts skills are far inferior to mine, the movement is very familiar to him, but he is too busy dealing with the opponent's moves at this time to think too much.

After a few moves, the opponent started to try to escape, but Ye Guodong's combat experience made it impossible for him to escape, and he was defeated after a while.

Ye Guodong grabbed his arm and suppressed him, asking: "Are you sent by someone from the imperial court? This move is absolutely unmistakable!"

At this time, he finally remembered why the other party's moves were familiar. This was a unique training method for people in the imperial court, and almost everyone knew it.

These moves are not that aggressive, but his ability to escape and detect is top-notch. If he hadn't been very experienced, most people wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

The man remained silent. He snorted coldly and without hesitation pulled off the assassin's mask, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue or committing suicide by hiding poison between his teeth. These were all deaths of the imperial court. The usual trick.
