Ye Chengguan nodded again with satisfaction at her answer.
Then, he asked Ting'an to get a wrapped piece of clothing and handed it to Hongye: "Tomorrow I will go to the inspection department. If Miss Hua is interested, you can accompany me."
"Inspection Department?"
Hearing these three words, Hua Rujin frowned slightly.
I heard that the Inspection Department is not a place where my daughter's family can go. Although it is located at the lowest level of the government, it is an agency directly authorized by the emperor.
As long as the government order and the local government are inconsistent, you can refuse to give the order.
With this in mind, she looked at the package in Hongye's hand.
Ting'an was also afraid that she would not understand the young master's painstaking efforts, so he said bluntly: "That girl from the Cheng family is in the inspection department now. My young master has prepared men's clothes for Miss Hua. If Miss Hua goes to visit the Weng family tomorrow, she will be wronged."
Miss Hua, wear this outfit and go together."
Only then did Hua Rujin react and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, Lord Magistrate."
"You're welcome."
Ye Chengguan stood up slowly, pointed at the food on the table, and said in a warm voice: "Take it slowly."
Just as he turned to leave, he thought that she had almost killed herself by taking Cheng Nini in her tunnel without telling him, so she still warned her seriously: "Many things in this world may seem unfair, but they cannot be violated. Maybe we can do something about it."
All we have to do is do our best and obey fate."
Hua Rujin naturally understood the deep meaning of his words.
It seemed that he felt powerless in this matter.
This is the first time in a while that I have seen him bow his head and surrender.
For some reason, her mind suddenly became chaotic at this moment.
Thinking of the children and women who were taken away by the inspection department, thinking of the scene where Cheng Nini fell into his arms every time and cried, thinking of the helpless and desperate situation when she threw herself in front of her mother's cold bed.
The already firm heart began to waver.
"If it really comes to a last resort, will the magistrate also give up the lives of more than a hundred people?"
Hua Rujin asked hesitantly.
This time, Ye Chengguan was silent for a long time before coldly throwing out a few words: "Maybe."
Then, he turned around and left.
Looking at the tall figure disappearing from her eyes, Hua Rujin suddenly felt a little disappointed.
After all, I saw him as the embodiment of perfection.
Looking at the food on the table, she suddenly felt uninterested.
Even he gave up. Why would a weak woman like me struggle? She could just lie down.
Hong Ye took out the clothes from the package, Hua Rujin looked at it casually, and then started to pack her money.
Since I can go to the Inspection Department to visit Nini tomorrow, I can only prepare more delicious food for her, at least so that she will not be a starving ghost on the road.
Ye Chengguan led Ting An out of the garden where Hua Rujin lived. After returning to his room, he took his sword and hurriedly led the book boy out of the door.
Outside the inn, Ting An held the horse for him, but he looked suspicious: "Young master is obviously investigating what Miss Hua mentioned, why don't you let her make suggestions for you? With Miss Hua's intelligence, maybe she can
What is found is not necessarily the same.”
"The storm in Jiang'an County is a bit big. Tu Hong's death was mysterious. Strange things are happening in the county now. I'm afraid it's not simple behind it."
Ye Chengguan did not explain much, but instead said: "Has Lu Xiuyuan arrived in Jiang'an County?"
"He has handed over the affairs of Jiangling City to Chief Dou, and he should be rushing here overnight."
Ting'an guessed that the young master was unwilling to put Miss Hua in danger, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"very good."
Ye Chengguan nodded thoughtfully and said: "If we count the time, he should be able to arrive tonight. You just stay in the post house and wait for him to come. Let him take people to Baitou Mountain to meet him immediately."
"Could it be that the young master wants to go to Mount Paektu alone?"
Ting An looked distressed: "I heard that the mountain is extremely dangerous, how about I go with the young master?"
"Wen Yuming has been quiet for the past two days. You stay in the post house and be careful."
Ye Chenggui whispered.
At the moment, he did not dare to conclude whether Wen Yuming was related to Tuhong's death.
But that girl from the Hua family was brought to Jiang'an County by herself, so she couldn't make any mistakes no matter what.
After giving the instructions, he took the reins of the horse and jumped up, and the man and the horse quickly disappeared into the night.
Ting'an watched the young master walk away, recalling the discussions he heard in Miss Hua's room, and felt even more unsatisfied.
My young master is very busy every day, but no one cares about his hard work. He is always thinking about Miss Hua family, but he is even disliked by others.
For a moment, he began to sympathize with the young master's plight.
He stayed in the gatehouse of the post house and didn't bother to go in again.
On the way back with the female envoy, He Shiyin thought that her brother had worked hard all day and there was no time to prepare a few more exquisite dishes for him, so he took the opportunity to prepare a food box in the snack shop.
After returning to the post house and waiting for a while, she learned that her brother had returned. While warming the wine and setting out the dishes, she ordered the maid to invite him.
But when she saw the female servant returning to the house sadly, she suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart:
"Why, could it be that brother went out again?"
"Not really."
The female servant wanted to speak but stopped.
"Why is that?"
He Shiyin asked again unwillingly.
Seeing that the young lady's eyes were full of expectation, the female envoy had to answer truthfully: "Master Ye is leading Ting An to deliver food to Miss Hua."
"What?"
He Shiyin's face turned red with anger, and she sat down on the stool. She was dejected for a long time, and then sighed uneasily: "Is it possible that my brother has fallen in love with the widow?"
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Impossible, has my brother forgotten that the Hua family went to his house to break off the engagement?"
"But I heard that this matter was not Miss Hua's fault, but the idea of her old lady."
The maid replied cautiously.
"That's because the Hua family was at fault first."
He Shiyin pursed her lips in frustration: "Am I, a lady from a famous family, not better than her, a widow who escaped from another family?"
"Perhaps the young lady is overthinking. Mr. Ye just thinks that Miss Hua has worked hard to defend people's justice in court today, and he wants to reward her."
The female envoy said suspiciously.
Try your best not to let your young lady have random thoughts.
Hearing her mention this matter, He Shiyin felt somewhat guilty.
Sun Tian just sent some silver to Tan, but his brother gave him a slap in the face and paid him an additional five hundred taels of silver.
If my brother learns that he has given advice for Sun Tian, I am afraid that he will have to draw a clear line with himself in the future.
Thinking of this, she decisively picked up her chopsticks and started to drink and have fun by herself, and kept convincing herself: "You are right, my brother just went to reward her, and he had no other intentions."
When the female envoy saw this, she had no choice but to follow her words and keep comforting her.
After Hua Rujin tidied up the room, took a shower and changed clothes, seeing that it was getting late, and thinking that she would have to go early to visit Ni Ni the next day, she also tried to persuade herself to sleep quietly.
