Chapter 84 Progress
Chapter 84 Progress

"Captain Ye, why are you still here at the yamen so late?"

Ye Xuan led the horse to the gate of the Zhenfu Division, and the guarding Jinyiwei Zhang Qiang immediately stepped forward and took the reins.

Ye Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "What a miserable life! There are still some difficult cases that have not been solved yet."

Zhang Qiang flattered: "Who asked our commander to think highly of you? If you ask me..."

However, before he could finish his words, he noticed that there was another person riding a horse in the night and was immediately startled.

When he saw that it was a beautiful young woman, he immediately grinned, "Captain Ye, this is my sister-in-law, right? Could it be that she is worried about you so... hehe!"

After that, he looked at the woman and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If our Ye Baihu dares to mess around, we will definitely inform you!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan blushed as she rode on the horse, and said in a low voice: "Bah, what nonsense! Why are all you Jinyiwei talking nonsense and destroying people's innocence!"

"This..." Zhang Tie was stunned and looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This is the victim, you kid, don't talk nonsense."

"Ah!" Zhang Tie scratched his forehead awkwardly and laughed sheepishly: "I told you, how can a new bride wear mourning clothes?"

"you……"

Seeing that Liu Ruyan was about to get angry again, Ye Xuan said unhappily: "I don't know what you've eaten, kid, not a single word you said is pleasing to the ear!"

"Okay, okay, Miss Liu, let's draw the portrait quickly so we can finish it quickly and leave." As he said that, Ye Xuan walked into the yamen while yawning.

Just as he took half a step, Liu Ruyan called him again: "Wait..."

Ye Xuan turned around and saw Liu Ruyan pursing her red lips. She hesitated and said, "I... I can't get down."

Ye Xuan suddenly found it a little funny. He shook his head and walked to Liu Ruyan's side, stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I'll help you."

Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Xuan's outstretched hand with a somewhat conflicted expression.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Hurry up."

Liu Ruyan then reached out to grab Ye Xuan, but as soon as one foot turned over the horse's body, she screamed and fell into Ye Xuan's arms.

Zhang Tie, who was standing by, saw it carefully and realized that Liu Ruyan's foot was caught in the stirrup.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan saw the opportunity quickly, took half a step forward and opened his arms.

Suddenly, Wen Yu was filled with...

Feeling the warm and soft body in his arms, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a ripple in this cold night.

However, before he could think more, the person in his arms screamed and broke free.

"you……"

Without waiting for Liu Ruyan, whose face was flushed, to say anything, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness. There's no need to say thank you."

Liu Ruyan was suddenly speechless and could only look at Ye Xuan's back with hatred as he turned and left.

After a moment, he stomped his feet in self-pity, secretly hating himself for not being able to ride a horse.

This was the first time in Liu Ruyan’s life that she was completely embraced by a man.

What’s more, he was a stranger, and the Jinyiwei whom she hated very much.

However, it was a fact that Ye Xuan saved her, and Liu Ruyan could only blame herself for being too careless.

After entering the Jinyiwei Yamen, Ye Xuan acted as if nothing had happened. He naturally found a Jinyiwei who was good at portrait drawing and asked him to draw the man's appearance according to Liu Ruyan's description.

However, just when he was halfway through the painting, there was a sudden noise outside.

A moment later, Wang Feihu rushed into Ye Xuan's room with excitement on his face and shouted, "Sir, Zhao Wu has been caught!" Ye Xuan stood up excitedly when he heard that. The worst situation he had expected did not happen, which increased his confidence in solving the case.

"Bring the person in to me!"

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he noticed that Liu Ruyan was still there, so he ordered the Jinyiwei who were good at painting portraits to take her away first.

Just as Liu Ruyan was about to leave, Wang Feihu walked in with the tied-up Zhao Wu.

"it's him!"

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan pointed at Zhao Wu and shouted, "Even if that big mole on his face turns to ashes, I will still remember it!"

Upon hearing what he said, Ye Xuan looked and saw that the tied-up Zhao Wu had a big mole on his face. He immediately looked at Wang Feihu.

"Is this Zhao Wu?"

Wang Feihu was stunned for a moment, then said: "I caught this with my own hands on the trail to Shaanxi, it can't be fake, and..."

Then, Wang Feihu recounted the story of how he captured Zhao Wu.

After separating from Song Zhenshan, Wang Feihu, along with more than fifty Jinyiwei, rode at full speed through a small path to Shaanxi, keeping a close eye on any suspicious signs along the way.

When everyone passed through a dense forest, they heard a pleading voice.

Wang Feihu became suspicious and approached carefully with his men.

In the dense forest, a middle-aged man with a big mole was kneeling in front of several masked men in black, carrying a lot of bags on his back, begging them not to kill him.

However, the man in black remained indifferent and raised his knife to kill.

Wang Feihu immediately became suspicious and quickly ordered the arrest of several people.

The man in black was shocked when he saw the Jinyiwei arriving.

Seeing that they were no match for their opponent, several men in black fled from the encirclement after their attempt to kill Zhao Wu failed.

It was too dark at night and they were in a dense forest, so Wang Feihu was afraid of something unexpected happening and did not pursue.

When he grabbed Zhao Wu and asked him, he found out that this person was Zhao Wu. He was overjoyed and brought him back to the Jinyiwei.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Xuan walked up to Zhao Wu.

"Tell me, who instructed you to frame Fatty Huang and murder the Liu couple!"

When Zhao Wu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in panic, "My Lord, you are wronged..."

Seeing Zhao Wu trying to quibble, Ye Xuan interrupted impatiently, "I believe you know better than me what those men in black are doing."

"If you tell the truth, there is still a chance of survival. Otherwise, we will let you walk out of the Pacification Office. Do you think you can still survive?"

“This…this…” Zhao Wu was suddenly speechless, his eyes rolled around, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Sir, you must save me! That bastard wanted to kill me to silence me after he had done his job. What a piece of shit!"

"They are nothing, but you are?" Ye Xuan smiled coldly and said solemnly: "Whether you can survive or not depends on whether you are honest or not!"

"I'm honest, I'm honest!" Zhao Wu nodded repeatedly and then told the role he played in this case one by one.

Not long ago, a mysterious man found Zhao Wu and offered him a large sum of money to get him close to and make friends with Fatty Huang, who had just been promoted.

Zhao Wu also questioned the mysterious man's intention in doing this. After all, no one in this world would give others food, drink and entertainment for free.

But the mysterious man just lied and said that he wanted to find Fatty Huang to do something, and was afraid that Huang would not agree, so he asked Zhao Wu to make friends with him first and then act as a middleman to introduce him.
