When Xiaotao heard the familiar voice, her face was happy at first, but the next moment it turned from sunny to cloudy, and her face became gloomy.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he felt inexplicably confused.
He trotted into the house and sat next to Xiao Tao who was cleaning the house. He took out a set of rouge and gouache and handed it to her like a treasure.
"Sister Xiaotao, I picked the flowers myself, ground them and made them. It's completely non-toxic. You can try it."
Xiao Tao looked at him suspiciously and asked with disbelief.
"This is really what you did!"
Ye Yuan immediately patted his chest and promised.
"Sister Xiaotao, how could I lie to you? This is really what I did. If you don't believe it, you can ask around the capital to see if there is any one that is exactly like mine."
Seeing that Ye Yuan was so serious, Xiao Tao believed it in her heart, but she still had complaints about Ye Yuan.
Although she accepted the gift, she has not forgiven him so easily.
Seeing this, Ye Yuan stretched out his arms to hug her and explained.
"Sister Xiaotao, this time it's all my fault that my intelligence officer's time estimate was too inaccurate, so he came back so late."
Xiao Tao said dissatisfied.
"Humph, that's not it. Didn't you promise me before that you would not participate in dangerous things and only let subordinates go down? This time you go to the desert, I am always on guard..."
As Xiaotao talked, she became more and more resentful, and her tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
Ye Yuan felt very distressed when he saw it, and quickly hugged her tighter, patting her back gently to comfort her.
"Sister Xiaotao, nothing will happen to me. I brought an army of 40,000 people with me this time. It's very safe..."
After a while, Ye Yuan heard soothing breathing.
…
West Factory Dungeon.
Ye Yuan slowly walked to the innermost cell, which was the cell where the first prisoner of Xichang was held.
Seeing the Governor's arrival, Pei Lun, who was still smoking comfortably, immediately put out his cigarette and came over to greet him.
"The Governor..."
Ye Yuan waved his hand to stop his salute and asked.
"Have you found any abnormalities?"
Pei Lun's face remained as usual and he answered very calmly.
"There is nothing abnormal, but..."
Ye Yuan understood that he must have discovered something and asked.
"Say it."
Ye Yuan pushed open the cell door. At this time, the former food supervisor was sitting in the corner, curled up.
After Wu Jiajia's treatment for a month, his severely tortured and dilapidated body finally recovered a lot, and he was able to move and live normally.
However, he entered the dungeon without saying a word, as if he was completely heartbroken.
Even when Ye Yuan, his enemy, appeared in front of him, he didn't have any abnormal reaction, his eyes were still dull, and there wasn't even a trace of emotion in his eyes.
But, if he was really heartbroken, he wouldn't still be alive now!
Pei Lun followed in and answered.
"Yes, Lord Governor, it is the most suspicious thing when there is nothing unusual. There are only two possibilities now. The first is that the matter is that simple and there is no hidden secret. The second is that there is a force that has erased his information."
Before he finished speaking, the old eunuch suddenly closed his eyes
Ye Yuan suddenly knew what was going on and asked with a smile.
"Which one do you think it is?"
"My subordinates thought it was the second type."
Ye Yuan heard the "dong dong" sound that became faster, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he agreed.
"I think so too, Pei Lun, which force do you think did it?"
Pei Lun thought for a while and answered very cautiously.
"In the capital, the only forces that can do this are Dongchang, Royal Horse Supervisor, Si Li Supervisor, and...Hulong Villa."
Seeing that his governor didn't say anything, Pei Lun analyzed it consciously.
"The possibility of Dongchang sending people here is extremely small. With the power of the Director of Ceremonies, what he wants to do is very simple. It is impossible that there has been no movement until now. Only the Royal Horse Inspector and Hulong Villa are the most likely
."
Pei Lun was a little nervous. After all, he was not sure whether his speculation was correct.
Listening to the old eunuch's extremely violent heartbeat, Ye Yuan understood everything and whispered to himself in a low voice.
"People can control many things, including their faces, expressions, and even their eyes, but most people can't control their own heartbeat."
At this time, the old eunuch could no longer pretend. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked expression, as if he was looking at a devil.
Ye Yuan smiled, confirmed his thoughts again, and gave instructions loudly.
"Pei Lun, check Supervisor Shang Shan carefully to see who has contact with Hulong Villa."
Pei Lun was stunned for a moment and replied immediately.
"yes."
The old eunuch's eyes were suddenly full of fear, his lips were trembling, and he wanted to say something.
Ye Yuan stood up and said.
"Okay, now you are worthless whether you speak or not. Old guy, just cherish these last days."
He wants to kill me!
This was the only thought in the old eunuch's mind, and he collapsed.
Ye Yuan stood up and left without any hesitation, without looking back.
Just when Pei Lun was about to close the cell door, the old eunuch finally couldn't hold on any longer and shouted in a hoarse and urgent voice.
"Yu...Governor, wait!"
Ye Yuan then turned around and looked at him quietly without saying a word.
The old eunuch was very conscious and pleaded.
"Lord Governor, I can tell you everything, but you must agree to one condition."
"hehe…"
Ye Yuan sneered and turned to leave.
The old eunuch finally couldn't bear it anymore, collapsed and shouted.
"I can't die, I can't die!"
Ye Yuan became a little interested, turned around and asked.
"Why?"
"My brother's family has been wiped out by the Lord God. Once I die and have no value, they will probably..."
Thinking that if something happened to his younger brother's family, he would really be dead, and the old eunuch felt sad in his heart.
"As long as you send my brother and his family out of Ming Dynasty, I will tell you everything."
Ye Yuan smiled and said without any doubt.
"Okay, but I want you to tell me everything you know now."
The old eunuch smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to tell the truth.
In fact, his position as Chief Food Supervisor relied on the help of the Iron Lord.
The previous Shangshan Supervisor died at the age of sixty. It was said that he died of old age, but this was not the case.
You must know that the previous palm seal was a top-notch master. With his profound skills, it would not be a problem to live to the age of eighty or ninety.
Unfortunately, he is blocking the way.
Then, he died of "old age" silently.
Originally, everything had fallen into place, and the old eunuch could be promoted from admiral to palm print smoothly.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way. Ye Yuan hugged Concubine Wan Gui's thigh and flew directly to the Shangshan Supervisor. He easily snatched away the position of the palm seal, causing the plan of Lord Tidan to fail.
In fact, the old eunuch didn't know much about Tiedan Shenhou.
After all, he is not the confidant that the Iron Bold God has cultivated since he was a child, so he cannot be fully trusted.
The task given to him by the Tiedan Shenhou was to climb up, to climb up desperately, to obtain higher power, and then to provide convenience and cover for one person or one thing.
As for other things, they are not under his control and he is not allowed to interfere.
After listening to my words, Ye Yuan nodded thoughtfully, his thoughts spinning.
What needs to be clarified most right now is.
What exactly does the Iron Dan Shenhou want to do?
That person...what did he do before?
Has the goal of Lord Tietan been achieved, or has it not been achieved?
All this is a problem.
Ye Yuan thought hard to no avail, shook his head helplessly, and murmured softly.
"It's true that you know people's faces but not their hearts. People's hearts are separated from each other."
