"Sister, are we going to go directly to the Yamen?"

Seeing Daohua taking Qin Xiaoliu to the Yamen, Yan Wenkai asked hurriedly.

Dao Hua stopped and asked in confusion: "What else?"

Yan Wenkai: "Should we talk to Brother Dong first? With his help, things will definitely be much easier."

Daohua shook his head: "If you can solve the problem with money, try not to use favors. It's not good to owe too much favors. Brother Xiaoliu and the others are not serious. They can release them after paying the ransom, so why bother others?

What?"

Hearing this, Li Xingnian, who was following him, glanced at Daohua again, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

If Daohua were a boy, he would definitely have a good future in the future if he showed her transparency.

After thinking about it, Li Xingnian asked with a smile: "Then what should we do if the yamen bullies us and embarrasses us?"

Daohua was stunned: "That's not the case, don't we have to redeem the money?"

Li Xingnian shook his head and said seriously: "You, you have experienced too little. Uncle, let me tell you, the people in the yamen are very difficult to deal with. Even if we redeem the money, they want to deliberately make things difficult for us, and they still want to make things difficult for us.

It’s not an easy thing.”

As he said that, he pointed at Qin Xiaoliu.

"You didn't see the arrogance of the person who beat him just now. My uncle is sure that that person must be familiar with people in the yamen. What should he do if he doesn't let him go?"

Daohua frowned: "Well... let's talk about it if we really encounter it. Now let's see if we can solve the problem ourselves. If it really doesn't work, then we can go to Xiao Yeyang."

Yan Wenkai was stunned for a moment: "Why are you looking for the young prince instead of Brother Dong? Isn't Brother Dong better to talk to than the young prince?"

Daohua said without thinking: "Because Xiao Yeyang is closer to our family, and Brother Dong...he just had some contact with us for Xiao Yeyang's sake,

At most, he is just a slightly familiar stranger."

Yan Wenkai scratched his head: "Really?"

Daohua nodded: "That's right, fourth brother, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for Xiao Yeyang, would Brother Dong pay attention to us?"

Yan Wenkai shook his head.

Daohua spread her hands: "That's okay, Xiao Yeyang may be a bit arrogant at ordinary times, which makes people feel difficult to get close to, but in terms of distance from our family members, of course he is closer...

”

As the two talked, they walked towards the Yamen under the leadership of Qin Xiaoliu.

No one noticed that there was a teahouse next to where they just stood.

At this moment, sitting by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, three young men in brocade clothes were stretching their necks to look at the Yan family members who were walking further and further below.

"Just a familiar stranger..."

Dong Yuanxuan chewed these words with a bitter look on his face: "It turns out that in Sister Yan's heart, I am just a stranger!"

Next to him, Su Hongxin even curled his lips: "You are satisfied, you were sneaked out by their brothers and sisters, and as for me, they never thought of it at all."

"Haha~"

Pleasant and brisk laughter came from around them. Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin both looked at Xiao Yeyang, who was smiling at the side, and then looked at each other speechlessly.

Xiao Yeyang didn't hide his good mood at the moment at all. He raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at the two of them, with a proud look on his eyebrows as if he was outcompeting them.

Daohua unabashedly expressed her closeness to him in front of his family, which made him very happy.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was so happy, Dong Yuanxuan didn't mind talking more to coax him, so he said sourly: "Last time I asked Wen Xiu for the formula of medicinal bath, and the guy looked around and talked about other things. I didn't expect to turn around, Sister Yan

So I gave the prescription to the young prince with my own hands. It’s so obvious how close we are to each other.” After saying that, he sighed and shook his head.

Su Hongxin also interjected: "Not only this, but also food. Every time when the academy comes back from the holidays, the young prince will have a share of whatever Yan Wenkai and his friends have. As for us, huh, we can only grab Wen Tao and Wen Kai to satisfy our cravings.

Sister Yan treats us differently, and she does it very openly, and she is not afraid of us being angry."

"Heh~"

Dong Yuanxuan snorted: "Didn't you hear people say that we are just familiar strangers? Who cares whether we are angry or not!"

Seeing the two of them eating, Xiao Yeyang was in a better mood.

Daohua was indeed generous to him. She would prepare a portion for him along with Yan Wenkai and others of delicious and useful things. As for Dong Yuanxuan and the others, they would not receive such treatment.

There are some things that you just don’t know. Once you compare them, you will feel a sense of superiority immediately.

Xiao Yeyang didn't want to irritate these two people too much, and said seriously: "Can you compare my relationship with Daohua? The two of us have a life-long friendship."

Think about it, they fought traffickers together, begged for food together, and worked as beggars together. This friendship... Yes, Daohua said, theirs is a revolutionary friendship, indestructible.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while. Dong Yuanxuan saw the Yan family walking away and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Little prince, should I send someone over to say something?"

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "If Daohua wants to solve it by herself, let her do it by herself. However, it is better to let someone go and watch." After saying that, he paused and said, "If the people over there at the Yamen are in trouble, just let her do it herself."

Just go and inform them quietly, don't let Daohua and the others know."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yeyang, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The young prince is taking more and more care of the Yan family, no, he should be taking more and more care of Sister Yan.

In the past, although the young prince treated Sister Yan pretty well, it was only as if he was better than the one next to him. He would not be like now, even taking her feelings and mood into consideration.

It is not an easy task for a person who is used to being praised by others to take care of other people's feelings.

In fact, on the day of the Lantern Festival, he vaguely felt that the young prince seemed to be closer to Sister Yan. Did something happen after they separated from everyone that day?

Dong Yuanxuan's heart was full of thoughts, but he didn't show it on his face. He naturally called the boy to give him a few instructions.

"Okay, let's go, uncle should be entering the border of Zhongzhou Province soon!"

Xiao Yeyang looked back at the direction Daohua and the others left, quickly got out of the teahouse, and headed straight for the city gate.

.......

In front of the government office gate.

The yamen guard who looked after the door wanted to take the opportunity to collect some filial piety money, but when he saw Daohua and his group dressed in unusual clothes, he felt a little apprehensive and did not dare to speak, so he directly approached the yamen.

The magistrate doesn't care about these trivial matters, but the magistrate received a few people.

Tongzhi knows Li Xingnian, and he also bought the watermelons sold by Li’s family last year.

Knowing that the Li family was a wealthy merchant, they thought of collecting more redemption money.

"The people you want to redeem, Qin Wu and others, have lost their goods. According to the law, they must repay the employer ten times the fine. Since you want to redeem people, then I will call the employer together and talk about this matter.

”

The employer happens to be familiar with him, and all he needs to do to collect more money for redemption is just to say hello.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoliu's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Sir, didn't we agree before that we only need to pay one thousand taels of redemption silver?"

Tongzhi's expression remained unchanged: "Really? Why don't I remember it? You probably remembered it wrong."

Qin Xiaoliu panicked immediately and was fined ten times the silver. How much money would he get?

Seeing Tongzhi like this, Daohua frowned, and then she rolled her eyes and looked at Yan Wenxiu: "Brother, when father encounters such a thing, is this the same sentence?"

Yan Wenxiu glanced at his colleague and said, "Of course not. As long as someone else's goods are lost unintentionally, you only need to compensate for the loss of the goods. If the employer is dissatisfied, they can at most pay more for the damage. I have never heard of this.

Ten times the compensation will be required."

Daohua smiled: "Could it be that the laws and regulations here in the provincial capital are different from those in Xingzhou?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Tongzhi's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile: "Why, from what you two kids think, do you think there are elders in the family who are officials?"

Yan Wenxiu thought for a while, and found that there was nothing unacceptable in what they did, so he smiled politely and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. My father is the governor of Xingzhou."

After hearing this, the colleague immediately stood up, and his attitude changed 180 degrees from before, becoming extremely friendly: "Oh, this man is old and his eyesight is not good enough. Everyone recognizes him when he sees him."

Won’t come out.”

With that said, he waved his hand and called the yamen servant, "Quick, go and let me go."

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoliu beside him was stunned. His mood was like a roller coaster, soaring from the lowest point to the highest point.

He never expected that Daohua and the others were actually young ladies from the Zhizhou family. He really thought that they were at most wealthy families with some wealth.

"I'm helping everyone rely on Mr. Shangguan?"
