Ye Song pulled out a night watchman and asked him to be a witness.

The night watchman had been bribed by him with silver. When he saw Governor Song, he pointed at him and said, "That night, I saw Governor Song send people to the government office to empty Governor Ye's house."

The night watchman's description was so detailed that it seemed as if it really happened.

Ye Jintang on the side secretly clapped his hands in his heart, thinking that Ye Song was really amazing. If he couldn't find evidence himself, he would just create evidence.

Coupled with the rumors that had been circulating in the community some time ago, Governor Song was now being put on the spot.

If he doesn't agree to Ye Song entering the mansion, then he must be hiding something.

But if he agrees, regardless of whether anything can be found, Governor Song will probably never be able to hold his head up again in Yuezhou City.

Ye Jintang thought that in order to prevent Governor Song from falling into a dilemma, she would ask Ye Song to find something and send Governor Song directly to jail.

The two sides were deadlocked, and Governor Song said viciously, "Today I will let Miss Ye search my house. If you find anything from Governor Ye's house, I will kneel down and apologize to Miss Ye."

"If we can't find it, will Lord Ye also kneel down and apologize to me?"

As soon as Governor Song finished speaking, Ye Song rushed forward and kicked Governor Song to the ground.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate with me here? You are just a small seventh-rank official, but you really think you are a piece of cake."

"Do you think that all of us in Danyang Marquis Mansion are vegetarians?"

Ye Song’s patience was completely exhausted, and he led his men directly into the Song family.

Governor Song, who was already in poor health, was kicked by Ye Song and almost died of pain. He wanted to argue a few more words, but was picked up by the yamen runners beside Ye Song and led into the yard.

When Mrs. Shi saw how Ye Song treated Governor Song, she stepped forward crying and shouting, asking them to let Governor Song go.

For a moment, the entire Song family was in chaos. The yamen runners brought by Ye Song were searching the whole yard, while Mrs. Shi and Governor Song were shouting loudly.

The people outside the gate who were watching the excitement stretched their necks and tried hard to look inside.

Some people even climbed up trees and stood on the roof to watch the hustle and bustle in the Song Mansion.

Ye Jintang, who was mixed in the crowd and used as a cover, had long been forgotten by Ye Song and thrown aside.

She felt amused in her heart. This farce was really interesting. Everyone had their own ulterior motives and plans.

Taking advantage of the mess in the yard, Ye Jintang followed the crowd and looked for a suitable place to put the disaster relief silver.

There are only a few rooms, and now they are all full of people, so it is not easy for her to put the silver in.

"You can't enter my storeroom. It's all my dowry."

Mrs. Shi stood in front of the warehouse and wouldn't let anyone go forward.

It’s a pity that Ye Song has already rushed in with his men, and he might as well do something excessive.

Without saying a word, he ordered someone to pull Mrs. Shi away and rushed into the warehouse with his men.

Governor Song hid most of his property, and most of the items left in the warehouse were indeed Mrs. Shi's dowry.

After searching for a long time, they only found 20,000 taels of silver.

Obviously, this amount of money cannot satisfy Ye Song.

Ye Song, who was standing in the warehouse, had an obviously ugly expression on his face. If he really couldn't find the disaster relief silver, he would be in a difficult situation today.

For a moment, Ye Song regretted being carried away by joy. He did not conduct a thorough investigation and hurriedly brought people to search the Song family.

Fortunately, no one mentioned the disaster relief money when I entered the door, otherwise I would not be able to escape unscathed today.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the yard, Ye Jintang quietly looked around with his big round eyes.

I saw a moon gate not far away and moss growing on the stone path. It was obvious that no one had walked there for a long time.

She quietly passed through the Moon Gate while no one was paying attention. It turned out to be an unused small house. She continued walking forward and passed through two more Moon Gates. The inside was becoming more and more dilapidated, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

The outside and inside of the house were covered with dust, so it was not suitable to place the disaster relief money in such a place as it would easily be exposed.

After much thought, her gaze finally fell on a dry well.

"That's it."

Ye Jintang just waved his hand, and countless boxes filled with disaster relief silver appeared in the dry well.

The boxes were covered with a lot of hay brought from the prison.

After arranging everything, Ye Jintang quietly returned.

"Master Ye, you have searched my house thoroughly, but you haven't found anything yet. You must give me an explanation. After all, my Song family is a well-known family in Yuezhou. You can't put all the blame on me."

Governor Song stood on the steps of the warehouse with the help of a crutch. The embarrassment he had just shown was gone. He raised his chin slightly with a smug look on his face.

Ye Song didn't find anything today, and the rumors outside were debunked. Governor Song was so happy that his tail was sticking up in the sky.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We have only searched a warehouse. Who knows if your house has any secret rooms or secret passages?"

Ye Song said with a dark face and a stiff neck.

He knew very well that they had searched every room in the Song family's house and found nothing suspicious.

"Lvzhu, I saw a little white cat running into the yard just now. Can you help me catch it? I want to keep that little white cat."

"Miss, that yard looks like no one has lived there for a long time. Could there be snakes or insects? How about we get a servant to go in and catch the kitten? I'm afraid."

Ye Jintang, who was standing far away, spoke to Luzhu beside him in a voice neither too loud nor too soft.

It sounded like there was nothing wrong with what the two were saying, but Ye Song, who was standing in the distance, suddenly turned around and looked towards the remote courtyard in the distance.

"Someone, go to that yard and take a look. Keep your eyes open. Don't let anything go wrong."

"Yes."

Several yamen runners responded and left. Governor Song sneered inwardly, that yard had been abandoned for many years. If they went in to search, they would definitely find nothing except snakes and insects.

Just then Ye Jintang looked up at Governor Song with a smile.

The two looked at each other, and Governor Song felt inexplicably uneasy when Ye Jintang looked at him.

He hadn't seen Ye Jintang for some time. When he suddenly saw him, he always felt that Ye Jintang in front of him seemed different from before.

But he couldn't tell what the difference was. After all, the two had only met a few times before.

"Master Ye, I have found something."

A yamen runner almost ran all the way back.

"Found something."

Ye Song's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few quick steps forward.

"In a dry well, we found many boxes covered with hay."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get someone to pull up all those boxes."

When Governor Song heard that there was a box in the dry well, he became very nervous.

How come he didn't know that something was placed in the abandoned dry well in his home?

Governor Song’s first reaction was to look at Mrs. Shi. He just thought that this was hidden by Mrs. Shi.

Mrs. Shi shook her head at him, and Governor Song became panicked.

Someone wants to frame him?

Governor Song didn't care about anything else and limped towards the dry well.

Just after taking two steps, Ye Song ordered, "Keep the Song family members under guard, and don't let any of them escape."

"Master Ye, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Ha, you'll know when the box is pulled up."
