LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 23 1 She must have a reason
Even though Ye Qingran's temperament changed a lot after she came back from the palace, he never thought that she would kill anyone.
But the assassin these people were talking about was obviously his sister, and he couldn't find another one.
He didn't have time to think deeply about the problem. At least he couldn't let these people take Ran'er away.
"I didn't see any assassins, but there was indeed a black shadow going east just now. I thought it was a cat. Maybe that was the assassin. Why don't you look to the east? If it's too late, you'll run away."
He spoke sincerely and did not mean to lie at all.
The leading guard thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
"Of course it's confirmed, I have no reason to lie to you."
"Come here, some of you go to the east and search, and the rest, follow me into the yard to search!"
Ye Zhuoyu didn't expect that he would go so far as to say that they would go into the yard to look for someone. He couldn't help but stop him directly: "Your Excellency's distinguished guests live here. You just broke in like this. Didn't you put us there?" In your eyes?"
These guards only patrolled on weekdays. Who knows who lives here, but they can live here so comfortably. They may really be distinguished guests, so they had to soften their tone and replied: "That's not what we meant." . It’s just that this assassin is ruthless. If he hides in the yard, it won’t be good to hurt you.”
"I've been standing here admiring the moon for a long time. How could I not notice if there was an assassin? Besides, if the assassin is smart enough, he won't hide in a place like me where he can easily be discovered, don't you think?"
"Although this is the truth, after all, the priority is to focus on the heart. We are just going in for a brief look, and we will leave immediately after confirming that it is safe."
After the guard finished speaking, he directly beckoned the others to go inside, not intending to say any more to Ye Zhuoyu.
Seeing this, Ye Zhuoyu had no choice but to let them in. If they were to stop them any more, there would probably be no more than three hundred taels of silver in this place.
It's just that he was a little worried about Ye Qingran's condition. He didn't know if she had hid it well, at least not letting Ye Xingyi be discovered by them, otherwise it would be really unclear.
These guards were not too polite and called everyone in each room out.
Only the Ye family lived in this courtyard, and no one else. They were suddenly woken up, thinking they were going to be imprisoned again or to continue their exile, and were whispering in low voices.
Seeing that his parents and sister were a little frightened, Ye Zhuoyu walked over to comfort them and signaled that nothing was wrong with them.
He turned to look at Ye Qingran. He thought she would be a little panicked and was ready to help her cover up, but he didn't expect that she looked sleepy at this time, as if she had just woken up.
Ye Qingran had already started to change her clothes when she entered the room. She stuffed the night clothes directly into the space, so she didn't care at all. Even if they searched all night, they would never find anything.
And her sleepiness was not entirely fake. She hadn't slept at all that night, and she was indeed a little sleepy.
The guards searched several rooms inside and out. Just as Ye Qingran thought, they found nothing. In the end, they could only apologize to them and prepare to leave.
Looking at them, Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows: "You just barged in for no reason, disturbed our sleep, and just left without giving any reason?"
As soon as she spoke, Ye Zhuoyu couldn't help but look at her, wondering what she wanted to do.
The leader of the guards did not dare to be careless and explained: "Sorry, because an assassin entered the government office and stabbed the county magistrate, we had to investigate the whereabouts of the assassin in the government office, which caused a lot of disturbance."
"Okay, you are on official business, and I don't want to embarrass you, but if you want to come in in the future, you must get my permission, understand?"
Ye Qingran smiled and said, "Also, please give me a message to you adults. I am the best doctor here. There are some things. It is useless to find another doctor. It was yesterday and it is the same today."
The guard didn't understand what she meant. He was anxious to catch the assassin, so he had no choice but to agree and leave.
After all the fuss, the others were also sleepy and went back to sleep when they found nothing happened. Ye Qingran did the same.
But where could Ye Zhuoyu sleep?
He stopped Ye Qingran and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me what you did?"
"Brother, it's okay. I was here to save our family, and the county magistrate didn't have anything serious to do. He was the one who tried to kill me first. I just taught him a lesson."
Ye Qingran held his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will tell you if anything happens. You know too much about other things and I'm afraid you will be in danger, so don't ask."
Although there are still many questions in his heart, these days, he has trusted his sister very much.
Since she said that, he stopped asking and told her to pay attention to her own safety in everything and not to be in such danger as today, so he went back to the room.
After working for most of the night, Ye Qingran slept until noon the next day before waking up.
Before she could take a few bites of food after washing, a guard knocked on the door and asked her to go out.
"Are you Ye Qingran? Our adults have said that you will be taken to prison and locked up. Come with us."
"Oh? You adults really said that?"
"How can it be false? Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
It was the leading guard who came last night. Now that he had received the order, he didn't have a good attitude towards her. After putting the shackles on her hands, he pushed her forward.
Ye Qingran was not annoyed, he was guessing the county magistrate's intentions and thinking about his next plan.
Their movement was not small, and everyone in the Ye family came out to watch.
Ye Zhuoyu anxiously stepped forward to stop the guards and asked, "Why do you arrest her?"
Obviously, Ye Qingran was not found to be an assassin during the search last night. Could it be that he was discovered today?That's too weird.
"What does it have to do with you? This is the order of the magistrate."
"Even if it is an order from the county magistrate, there must be a reason, right? How could you just take my daughter away?"
Ye Guodong couldn't help but stood up to stop him. Mrs. Jiang looked on worriedly, but Ye Yunlian had curiosity in her eyes and was not worried at all.
The guards were busy doing business and had no time to talk nonsense with them. They took Ye Qingran and walked out, no longer talking to them.
Ye Zhuoyu wanted to step forward and stop them forcefully, but was stopped by Ye Qingran's look.
She said: "Don't worry, they won't do anything to me."
She said, lowering her voice, "Brother, do me a favor. After I am imprisoned, I want you to beat the drum and complain. The bigger the noise, the better. If you are also caught, just stay in the prison without any worries." Here, I will rescue you."
Although he didn't understand her plan, Ye Zhuoyu still nodded in agreement.
He believed that Ye Qingran was smart and she must have her reasons for doing this.
