Chapter 426: The Drumming Sounds Like Thunder
Lady Ying waved her round fan and said with a smile: "This is what my master meant. Master Ye is lucky today. It just so happens that my master came back, so I mentioned a few words."
"The master is kind-hearted, so he made an exception and agreed to Master Ye's request."
"Your master?"
Ye Changlin was stunned, then he realized that it was the boss behind the Longbao Auction House!
Thinking of how Yingniang's face suddenly changed and how she hurriedly left, Ye Changlin opened his mouth in shock.
"But just now..."
Yingniang nodded without objection.
"good."
Seeing that Wei Niang admitted it, Ye Changlin was shocked, but only for a moment, and then his expression gradually calmed down.
There is a huge force behind the Longbao Auction House, and the people behind the scenes have always been mysterious, and there are many different opinions.
Although she also wanted to meet this man, her nephew's matter was on her mind at the moment and she didn't want to think about it.
I'll have to wait until the matter is resolved before I go to thank you.
Thinking of this, Ye Changlin restrained his expression, bowed to Yingniang and said: "Thank your master on my behalf. I, Ye, will definitely remember her great kindness in my heart. When the matter is settled, I will definitely come to thank her.
Wei Niang raised her eyebrows, smiled and shook her head: "That's not necessary, my master is busy with affairs and has left just now."
Ye Changlin was slightly stunned: "Left?"
"Yeah, I'm gone. I don't know when I'll be back next time."
Wei Niang fanned herself with a round fan and sighed softly with a hint of melancholy in her tone.
Although Ye Changlin didn't understand where her melancholy came from, he didn't care much.
"In that case, I will come to visit you again when your master comes back next time." Hearing this, Ying Niang glanced at her with a meaningful look in her eyes and said casually.
"Since it is the good intention of Patriarch Ye, I am not willing to refuse it. When my mistress comes back next time, I will ask her for instructions. As for whether my mistress is willing to see me, I cannot guarantee it."
After a pause, he looked at Ye Changlin with a smile and said jokingly, "I hope that Master Ye will not blame Wei Niang when the time comes."
"Where~"
Ye Changlin responded politely.
After a few pleasantries, Ye Changlin left the auction house.
"I will take my leave now." "Master Ye, take care."
Ying Niang saw Ye Changlin off with a smile on her face, then she faded the smile slightly and turned back.
Ji Yunfei dealt with King Beichen here, and soon Ye Changlin also returned with evidence. After some discussion in the inn, they took a vote.
……
The sun was shining brightly, the downtown was bustling with people coming and going, and there were bars and shops lining both sides of the street.
It was noon, and the teahouses and restaurants were bustling with people drinking and eating.
Suddenly, bursts of drum sounded like thunder in the prefectural government office.
"Boom!—"
"Dong dong dong dong..."
Because the government office was right behind these taverns and teahouses, and the drumbeats were so loud, they could be heard from far away.
People who were eating put down their chopsticks and wine glasses.
"What's going on? It sounds like drumming?"
"Don't be a fool to beat the drum to appeal for justice, right?"
"The last time we held court in Liuzhou was a year ago. Have you ever seen our prefect handle such trivial matters?"
"It's either a beating or sending him to the county government office dozens of miles away to be dealt with by the magistrate."
"Humph, these corrupt officials! They only know how to eat, drink and have fun, curry favor with their superiors, take salaries from the court, eat the crops grown by the people, but don't seek justice for us ordinary people. How hateful!"
"that is……"
There was a buzz of discussion in the inns and taverns, and people on the streets were running in one direction to join in the fun.
In the elegant seat on the second floor, listening to the dissatisfied discussions downstairs, Di Ran frowned slightly.
Ji Yunxie, who was holding a ball of white in his hands, saw Di Ran frowning and asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong, Yue?"
Di Ran didn't want to let these troubles bother Ji Yunxie, so he shook his head: "Nothing."
