Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

The prison was pitch black. Ye Jintang lit a candle and walked quickly into the depths of the prison.

She was fearless, but the thought of slippery venomous snakes and furry black rats made her feel the hairs on her back stand up.

Ye Jintang's fingers quickly touched the wooden box containing disaster relief silver, and the stones in the space and the silver in the wooden box moved.

It took only 50 minutes to replace more than 10 boxes of things.

After the exchange, she discovered that the boxes were not filled with only disaster relief money. Some of it was probably the money that Governor Song had extorted from the people.

In addition to silver, some of the small boxes contained gold bars, some contained gold ingots, and some contained pearls, agates, and jadeite.

Any one of these things is worth a lot of money.

Ye Jintang was secretly surprised. Governor Song was just a minor official with little power. How did he manage to plunder so many things right under Governor Ye's nose?

But now is not the time to think about this issue.

After exchanging the silver, the two men came out of the prison.

As soon as he got out of the prison, he heard a laugh from outside, which scared Ye Jintang so much that he grabbed Zhou Wuwei's sleeve.

"What is this sound?"

"It's an owl. Master, there's no need to be afraid."

"What is an owl? I've never heard of it."

Zhou Wuwei pulled Ye Jintang away from the government office quickly, and on the way he told Ye Jintang the general appearance of the owl.

Only then did Ye Jintang realize that the so-called owl was an owl.

"Is the cry of an owl so scary?"

Ye Jintang's delicate brows were furrowed into a knot. This was the first time she heard the cry of an owl.

"There is a folk legend that if someone dies, an owl will stand in the trees around the owner's house and wail."

The two of them ran all the way back to Feicui Hutong, and Ye Jintang realized that he had been pulling Zhou Wuwei's sleeve.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, thinking that poor Zhou Wuwei must have been frightened just now.

"Master, this is for you."

Zhou Wuwei took out a white bead from his sleeve and put it into Ye Jintang's hand.

"This is?"

"This is a bead made from fish bones. Wearing it can protect the owner from being disturbed."

Upon hearing Yu Jinggu's words, Ye Jintang instantly understood what Zhou Wuwei meant.

She wanted to refuse, but looking at Zhou Wuwei's hopeful face, she accepted the fish bone.

"Okay, I'll take it. Go back to your room and get some rest."

Ye Jintang turned around and went back to his room. Zhou Wuwei in the yard watched the light in Ye Jintang's room turn on, and then he went back to his own room with peace of mind.

In the room, Madam Liu and several others were not asleep. They gently helped Ye Jintang change his clothes.

After everything was ready, Ye Jintang, who was not sleepy at all, took out a Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia and read it.

"Miss, I have something to tell you but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Nanny Liu brought a bowl of calming soup and placed it next to Ye Jintang.

"Madam Liu, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Although Master Ye has only been here for two days, I don't think he is someone who cares about you. You should be more careful in the future."

Although Aunt Liu's words were subtle, Ye Jintang understood them.

As expected of Madam Liu, who had been a housekeeper in a wealthy family, she had a different perspective and could see through Ye Song, the villain, almost at a glance.

"Don't worry, Madam Liu. Although I grew up in the inner house, my mother is a good housekeeper. I have learned a few skills from my mother since I was a child."

"It's the old slave who talked too much."

"No, Madam Liu, I kept you as my housekeeper because I thought you had a broad vision. After all, I am still young and have little experience. In the future, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Ye Jintang put down the medical book in his hand and looked at Nanny Liu very seriously.

"Young lady, you think too highly of me. I have just stayed in the capital for a longer time and seen more things. It would be an honor for me to be able to help you."

The master and servant have been getting along very well for many days, and today's conversation has brought them even closer.

Ye Song, who moved to the inn, was only concerned with the disaster relief money and had long forgotten Ye Jintang.

As for whether she was safe living in Feicui Hutong or what she needed in life, he didn't care at all.

As long as I can bring the person back to Danyang Marquis Mansion alive, that will be enough.

In his opinion, Ye Jintang, who had no family property, was not even as good as a maidservant beside him.

Jincheng rode at full speed to Canglan Island to borrow troops and horses. When everyone arrived, he did not even give them time to rest and directly led his men to attack the Song Mansion.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to search the Song family under the pretext of searching for disaster relief money. Instead, he dragged Ye Jintang along and said that they were going to search the property of Prefect Ye.

Ye Jintang, wearing a gauze hat, cursed Ye Song in his heart. When selling her property, he said that she was a woman living in the inner house and it was not easy for her to show her face in public.

Now they are dragging her out again to denounce Governor Song, but why don't they mention that she is a woman from the inner chamber?

Ye Song really has a good appearance but a terrible character.

The common people in the entire Yuezhou city knew that more than a dozen members of Magistrate Ye’s family had died overnight.

Later, Ye Jintang moved alone to Feicui Hutong and lived in a small courtyard. As for what happened to Magistrate Ye's property, no one knew.

Now Ye Song has come to Governor Song's house in a big way to ask for the family property. It seems that the rumors that Governor Ye's family was poisoned by Governor Song are true.

So before Ye Song and his men arrived at Governor Song's house, there were already a lot of people gathered around watching the fun.

Everyone was also curious whether Governor Song had murdered Governor Ye's family. If this was true, then Governor Song should be struck by lightning.

When Governor Song received the news, he secretly broke into a cold sweat for himself. Fortunately, he had hidden the silver in the prison early on.

Otherwise, if Ye Song had made a fuss today, the silver might have been found out by him.

"Master, you must be tough when you meet Ye Song later. Don't let him get any handle on you."

"What can I use against you?"

Governor Song cursed out loud. When he thought about how he hadn't gained any benefit from the Ye family, he felt very upset.

Clearly, the only person left in the Ye family's family was an orphan girl, and no one knew what had gone wrong, but all of the Ye family's property disappeared overnight.

Ye Song, accompanied by yamen runners in official uniforms, arrived at the gate of the Song family in a mighty procession. Governor Song opened the door directly and asked Ye Song with a forced smile.

"I wonder what Master Ye is going to do?"

"Governor Song, don't pretend to be ignorant. The death of Governor Ye's family was strange, and the Ye family's property in the government office disappeared inexplicably. Someone saw you quietly emptying the Ye family's property under the cover of night."

"I am bringing people with me now to seek justice for Governor Ye's family."

Governor Song knew that his home was clean, so he was naturally confident.

"Master Ye, you have no evidence, just open your mouth and say it, and even force your way into my house. This is really too much."

"Stop pretending here. I have a witness here."

Since Ye Song dared to come to his door, he was naturally fully prepared.
