Chapter 221 The Profound Steward

The next day was a good weather. The sun was shining brightly on Qingtian Street. The sun had already climbed up, illuminating the unfinished foundations on both sides of Qingtian Street.

There are only a dozen residents on Qingtian Street. In the past few days, they had already heard the sound of workers' construction calls, but these people found that until now, the workers had not appeared.

Moreover, the ropes, big bars, and many iron tools used for construction have disappeared.

The puddles that had rained a few days ago have now dried up. If it weren't for these puddles, the foundations of the house would probably have been laid.

But now, the people who discovered these things started to cover up the damaged areas with grass.

Fill the big holes used to lay the foundation stones with mud, and then plant flowers.

In less than an hour, both sides of the original large pit and small hole had returned to their appearance a few days ago, as if the construction teams had never been here.

At this time, Hu Ye was about to go out. When he opened the gate of the Wuming Mansion, he found that the people were standing in front of the Wuming Mansion covered in mud.

They all held things in their hands, eggs, cabbage, and garlic, and they were all things from the homes of each farmer.

"Sir, you drove away those evil people for me. I don't know how to thank you. These are all our wishes, and I hope to accept them with a smile." A person who is quite a bit of culture stood up and said, they all knew that Hu Ye was a scholar and wanted to use a cultural way.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes. Although these things were not expensive, they were very welcome to send them by the farmer. However, after being said by half of the cultural person, it was inappropriate and ridiculous.

However, Hu Ye did not dare to be greedy for merit. If he had not been awarded the title of Master Qingtian, there would have been no such thing. In this way, it was just that he had caused trouble and he would have fought it out of his own.

"Everyone's kindness, I appreciate it. I know that everyone has not been easy this year. You can take these things back and replenish your sons and daughters, and they all grow into fat boys and beautiful ladies. Maybe my wife will look for them." Hu Ye joked.

Hu Ye's words made everyone present amused, and they all said that if his daughter grew up and Hu Ye still liked her, she would be Hu Ye's wife. After careful calculation, three families have agreed.

"Well. That's it. There are still official duties in the yamen. I won't spend more time with you." Hu Ye rolled his eyes. It would be better to leave quickly, otherwise someone would give the man to him later. The joke he made with Yin Changlong last time has not yet subsided.

Seeing Hu Ye escaped, the farmers left with a smile, thinking that this little adult was really good. Perhaps it would be a good choice for their own woman to be a wife.

Lao Qian also quickly followed, but he couldn't let his young master have problems.

Zheng Da, who lived not far away, also looked at this scene, and a rare smile appeared on his firm face.

"This kid is good. He got along with the people here so quickly. It seems that His Highness was right to ask him to come to Nanjing. I just don't know when this kid will enter the important place of the palace. It is impossible to get important information from the court just by moving outside the imperial city." Zheng Da murmured to himself.

"You can report everything that happened here to your highness, and tell your highness that if you betray Li Xin's gangsters, you can eliminate them first, and this person cannot be kept." Zheng Da immediately returned to his cold-faced killer and ordered an order to a subordinate.

Hu Ye brought Lao Qian to the Tongzong Yamen in a little embarrassed manner. At this time, the old housekeeper from yesterday had already arrived at the Yamen, and it was obviously here to lead the people.

Hu Ye knew that Li Xin would not come forward again this time, because in this confrontation, Li Xin lost his own move and was defeated by someone with a much lower grade, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Old butler, it's early." Hu Ye cleaned up his embarrassed expression, changed his expression of joy, walked up to him and said to the old butler.

The old butler had no expression on his face, as if he was more dull than Zheng Da. Then he said, "I came to take the order of my marquis to take the people. I guess he would not stop him."

"Well, Chongshan Hou has a word and can do what he says, I will naturally not be a villain, so I will let him go now." Hu Ye smiled, but his hand did not leave his waist, and he was ready to touch the flintlock rifle at any time.

The old housekeeper's actions yesterday shocked Hu Ye. Even Lao Qian attached so much importance to it. This old guy must be a master, so it would be better to be careful.

"Sir, don't panic. If I want to take action, I won't keep you until now. And there is a deep breath behind you, I must be a guardian of a master. No wonder I have been in Nanjing for several months without any damage." The old butler said slowly when he saw Hu Ye's nervous look.

A little cold sweat broke out on Hu Ye's forehead. Unexpectedly, this old thing even knew about Zheng Da's existence. It seemed that it was a real trouble. With such a person beside Li Xin, it was really a hungry wolf who was staying with him.

"Okay, I'll go and release people now." Hu Ye wiped his sweat and brought a few yamen runners to the cell.

At this moment, the old mother has completely changed her personality. Not only in appearance, but also in temperament, it has changed a lot. Obviously, her unprecedented prison life in the past two days is still fresh in her memory.

"I said, after you go out, you won't be nostalgic for this place, right?" Hu Ye looked at the old mother who was shaking out of the cell and joked.

"You boy, wait for me, one day I will deal with you!" The old mother snorted coldly, and followed the old housekeeper with two thugs.

After letting the old mother go, Hu Ye came to the prison cell in the west, where three killers were imprisoned.

How can I let them go after the promise is done?

When the three killers saw Hu Ye coming in, they felt a little anxious. Those who do this job are to put their heads on their belts. They are all ready. If Hu Ye doesn't let them go, they will have to resist the final result.

However, after Hu Ye asked someone to open the door, he untied the iron lock leaning against their hands and feet.

"I, Hu Ye, keep my word. You provided me with information and helped me a lot. Naturally, I won't make things difficult for you anymore." Hu Ye said, then made way and signaled that these three people could leave.

"Boy, did you let us go?" The boss obviously didn't believe it, "Aren't you afraid that we will cause trouble for you in the future?"

"Hehe, welcome to cause trouble for me. Maybe I can use your knife to kill someone next time." Hu Ye laughed.

The three of them didn't say anything else, but walked out of the door.

They decided not to cause trouble for Hu Ye again, and not to have the master behind him take action. The tricks of Hu Ye alone made them unable to defend themselves.

After the three of them left, Hu Ye shook his head, "Who dares to bet with me? These three people can't leave Nanjing City."
