"I originally thought that I could just be a city dweller, and after a few generations, I would become a wealthy family if I worked hard, but I didn't expect that."
Xue Hou's eyes were dark, "Our neighbor was robbed, my father was arrested and imprisoned, and the city lord suspected that my father was the thief."
"After being imprisoned for a year, I begged grandpa to sue grandma and spent all the family property. The matter was finally investigated and my father was innocent."
Xuehou laughed angrily, "Just like that, my father and I returned to the countryside in poverty. Fortunately, we still have thousands of acres of land, so we won't starve to death."
Ye Liuyun: "..."
Xue Hou continued: "Do you think this is the end? Another year, our village competed with other villages for water, and people were beaten to death. The villagers handled the matter and hinted that my father would give me money. Where could my father have the money? So,
…”
"My father was imprisoned again, charged with paying someone to kill someone."
"My father was beheaded, and several creditors suddenly appeared in my family. They said that my father had borrowed the money by mortgaging the land. My father's handwriting signed it, and the village shepherd personally testified that the IOU was genuine."
Xue Hou sneered and said: "In this way, I turned from the son of a rich man into a pauper."
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was a little confused as to why Xue Hou was talking about this.
Xue Hou said: "Do you know what I did at that time?"
Just as Ye Liuyun was about to answer, Xue Hou continued: "I started practicing martial arts, and I didn't expect that I would be a prodigy in martial arts. Later, when I entered the ninth rank, I didn't expect that the village peasants would be wiped out by unknown gangsters."
"Later, I became a Silver Knife patrol officer, but I didn't expect that the city lord actually rebelled and was executed by nine tribes."
Xue Hou smiled and patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder.
"I have never told this story to anyone else. I am telling you this because I treat you as a brother!"
Ye Liuyun was silent for a moment, "Mr.
Xuehou was choked.
I have discovered before that Ye Liuyun doesn't seem to have a very bright mind, and now it seems that is indeed the case.
"What I want to express is that if Chang Yao is allowed to ascend to power, then he will become the city lord, and you will be my father..." Xue Hou said.
Ye Liuyun blinked, "Am I your father?"
Xue Hou quickly changed his words: "I mean, if Chang Yao is in power, even if you act and sit upright, you will suffer unreasonable disasters!"
Ye Liuyun nodded.
"It's just that I really don't know how to deal with Chang Yao."
A file appeared in Xue Hou's hand, "Don't worry, I already had a comprehensive plan before coming here. Just follow my plan and there will be absolutely no problem."
Ye Liuyun: "..."
Good guy, he has already been prepared. He has to agree whether he agrees or not, right?
It's just that Ye Liuyun really has no qualifications to refuse. Just as Chang Yao can be the city lord and village shepherd, why can't Xue Hou be the city lord and village shepherd?
Marquis Xue handed over the dossier.
Ye Liuyun opened it and took a look, and what he saw was astonishingly——
"Mining Corruption Case!"
Marquis Xue began to explain: "This mine is located at the junction of the Imperial Capital and Shenzhou. It has one of the best spiritual stone mines in the Great Xia Dynasty. However, it was recently discovered that the number here is not correct, so it needs to be investigated."
Ye Liuyun nodded, "It's normal, just to line your own pockets."
Xue Hou smiled and said: "There are many ways to investigate the case, but this time we must dig deeper."
Ye Liuyun thought thoughtfully, "Master Xue means that this case is related to Chang Yao?"
Xue Hou nodded and said: "This mine is originally Chang Yao's money bag, otherwise why do you think he has such a deep background?"
Ye Liuyun frowned, "Just at the critical moment of fighting for the position of governor, the "mine corruption case" broke out. This makes Chang Yao extremely unlucky."
"..." Xue Hou was stunned when he heard this, and then patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder.
"Silly boy, whether it's bad luck or good luck, that's not what we should believe in. What we have to believe is... everything depends on man, and man will conquer nature!"
Ye Liuyun nodded, "That's right."
Xue Hou didn't know whether it was right to ask Ye Liuyun to handle this matter.
However, at the moment, Ye Liuyun is probably the only one with strong capital.
After all, behind Ye Liuyun is the Eight Wise King Su Jinglan.
At least Chang Yao didn't dare to use some dirty means to deal with Ye Liuyun, at least he didn't dare to do so in the imperial capital.
"Okay, you go and have a rest, and then start investigating the "mine corruption case." We must hurry up. The governor will be transferred in the next few days." Xue Hou ordered.
Ye Liuyun cupped his hands.
Take a few steps outside.
Ye Liuyun turned around and said: "Master Xue, that country boy was really wiped out by bandits, and that city lord really rebelled?"
When Xue Hou heard this, he laughed dumbly, walked over and patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder.
"Silly boy, you know it!"
Ye Liuyun nodded and left the hall directly, then tightened his clothes, feeling that the weather was chilly.
…
Ye Liuyun met Minglun at the gate of the Golden Blade Guard headquarters, and then invited Minglun to return to his small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
In the courtyard, in the pavilion.
Ye Liuyun and Minglun sat down around the coffee table to drink tea.
"Uncle Ming, Mr. Xue just came to talk to me..." Ye Liuyun said.
"Depend on!"
The more Minglun listened, the more something was wrong. He broke into a cold sweat and said, "Shut up!"
Ye Liuyun was stunned.
Minglun was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, "Liuyun, I treat you very well. You tell me this because you want to harm me!"
"..." Ye Liuyun was speechless.
Minglun looked around, "Is there anyone around here?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head and said: "With my insight, Uncle Ming, don't worry, there is no one within a three-mile radius."
"call……"
Minglun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and said, "You look very smart, how come you can't figure it out at the critical moment?"
Minglun cleared his throat, "There are some things you can do but not say, some things you can say but not do, some things you can think but not say but not do."
Ye Liuyun: "..."
"Isn't this asking Uncle Ming to give me some advice?" Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.
Minglun sighed: "Actually, you don't have a choice at all, do you?"
Ye Liuyun was silent when he heard this.
Yes, no matter whether he accepts the case or not, Chang Yao cannot let him go.
If he doesn't take the case, Marquis Xue won't let him go, and to some extent, Marquis Xue is even more terrifying.
"Okay, you decide for yourself." Minglun patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder and turned away.
I originally thought that Ye Liuyun had completed the "Military Defense Map Theft Case" and was safe.
Minglun was still thinking about introducing his daughter to Ye Liuyun, but now it seems that he might as well skip it.
Ye Liuyun has been involved in a deeper whirlpool, and it may be difficult this time.
Chang Yao has been operating in Golden Blade Guard for many years and has deep roots. How can he be shaken so easily?
Seeing Minglun leaving, Ye Liuyun also felt irritated, so he silently opened the system panel.
