I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ye Ming smiled indifferently and did not argue with his speculation, because in his opinion, any explanation could be an excuse.

"Mr. Hou, don't worry about my intentions, but consider your own situation first.

Is there any extra food at home? Even if I am alone now, it is not easy to be self-sufficient in this chaotic world.

I'm not a heartless person. If you need me, feel free to come to me.

By the way, it would be a shame if you don’t go into scrap collecting with your current temperament.”

After a burst of laughter, Ye Ming turned around and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Marquis Paola thought he was mocking him and immediately blushed.

However, looking at the two boxes of treasures in front of him, he temporarily put aside other thoughts and quickly moved them back home for safekeeping.

Afterwards, he visited Uncle Guan with the last bottle of Erqu wine.

"Did he really return the old things he stole from you intact?"

"That's right, no one was hurt at all. Master Guan, you are better at judging people than I am. What on earth is this guy trying to do?"

"What else could it be, Uncle Hou? Believe it or not, he will bring another group of people to your door tomorrow, and use the two boxes of so-called stolen goods as an excuse to detain you and torture you to find out where the remaining treasures are hidden.

It's like the villains in storytellers, you have to hide your stuff."

The lazy cat always assumes the darkest thoughts about Ye Ming.

Human nature dictates.

However, Uncle Guan has a very different opinion.

"I thought about it all night last night, and there is a doubt that keeps bothering me."

"What's the problem? Just tell me."

"I remember you mentioned before that you were reported by Liu Sihai and arrested by the Revolutionary Committee, right?"

When this matter was mentioned, Marquis Polan became increasingly angry.

"That's right! Liu Sihai falsely accused me of working for the government and labeled me a traitor.

As a result, the Revolutionary Committee investigated my entire family lineage and pinned all sorts of charges on me.”

"Then why didn't anything happen to you?"

Uncle Guan's question left Polan Hou speechless for a moment.

"You can't say that nothing happened. All the family property was confiscated."

As he spoke, Paolahou heaved a sigh of relief.

This kind of thing is common nowadays.

Almost all of his friends who used to drink together had been sent to the countryside for labor reform.

As a descendant of a prince, he was reported by someone under his real name for having worked for the government.

The general environment nowadays is: it is better to be unjust than to let someone go. As long as there is suspicion, no matter whether it is true or false, we will deal with it as soon as we catch him.

Not to mention being sent to labor camp, even direct execution would not surprise Hou Polan.

But he came out safely and quietly.

If Uncle Guan hadn't mentioned it today, he really wouldn't have realized this.

"You mean, someone is helping me secretly?"

"That's right, you know your own background, and the person who can help you clear your name must be of high status.

Think about it carefully, do you know any big leaders? "

"How can I know any big leaders? At most, he is the director of our street office, etc..."

As if he had thought of something, Hou Paolan frowned and thought, then said a person's name with a little doubt.

"Ye Ming?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the person helping you behind the scenes is most likely Ye Ming."

Uncle Guan sighed. He had basically figured out the whole matter.

Under the current circumstances, the only person who is capable of helping Hou Polan is probably Ye Ming, a member of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee.

"Something's wrong. If he's still sentimental, why would he want to..."

"Why did they bring people to search your house? Do you think that if Ye Ming hadn't taken the lead, the people from the Revolutionary Committee wouldn't have come to visit? Today, we have been taught a lesson by this kid."

Uncle Guan raised his cup and drank it all, and a sickly blush quickly appeared on his face.

After years of wine tasting, this was the first time he got himself drunk.

"What do you mean by that?"

Uncle Guan's words made Hou Polan even more confused and puzzled.

"What else can it mean? We just made a mistake! Apart from Ye Ming, who else could take such a big risk to rescue you from the predicament? You wonder why he robbed our things and then gave them back. If Ye Ming didn't stand up, wouldn't the people from the Revolutionary Committee come to trouble you?"

"This……"

Before the broken man could recover, Grandpa Guan continued, "Let me ask you, if it wasn't Ye Ming that day, what would have happened if your old things were exposed by your unfilial daughter?"

Hou Lan was silent.

If those treasures fell into the hands of people who don't know what they are doing, they would have turned to dust long ago.

The truth was right before his eyes, but there was still a hint of doubt on Hou Polan's face.

"Master Guan, are you saying that this kid deliberately performed this act for us to see?"

"Not only us, but also the Revolutionary Committee and even the people of the entire city were kept in the dark. They were completely kept in the dark."

Uncle Guan pushed the empty cup forward with great interest, and he only had admiration for Ye Ming.

“Given his current status, it is not easy for him to do this. In theory, we all have the responsibility to protect the treasures left by our ancestors, but I don’t think I can do it to the same extent as Ye Ming.

It's very simple. Are you willing to bear the blame and even make the whole world the enemy to do this thankless task?"

When the whole story became clear, Hou Polan couldn't help but feel horrified.

In this day and age, it is difficult to protect oneself, so who has the leisure to care about these old things?

“Speaking of being a good person, I have lived for so many years and have seen all kinds of people in the capital, but I have never seen anyone who can do this.

Not only do we owe him a huge favor, but the entire city of Sijiu owes him a huge favor!"

Uncle Guan's words carry a lot of weight, but Marquis Polan understands that this favor is much more important than he described.

The little lazy cat sat quietly aside, his thoughts drifting far away.

These days, she has been privately complaining about Ye Ming a lot.

When we are in our prime, we are full of passion to pursue justice.

Now that the situation has taken such a huge turn, the girl is full of conflicts and finds it difficult to accept the reality.

"Grandpa, could it be possible that you misunderstood? No one would be that stupid."

"Maybe." Uncle Guan took a sip of wine, and the blush on his face faded a little.

He suddenly remembered something, turned to the Broken Marquis and asked, "I remember you mentioned before that Ye Ming's father-in-law has some friendship with you, right?"

"That's right. I was the one who helped Ye Ming and Qiu Ye get married."

"His father-in-law may know something about the inside story. If you want to know the character of Ye Ming, just ask him."

The next morning, Hou Paolan went to Nanluoguxiang.

The door of the Ran family was open. Ran's father was reading when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Teacher Ran?"

Looking closely, the person coming was none other than Marquis Polan.
