Just as Yao Yu was looking at the Confucian student in front of him in surprise, the latter took a step back, arched his hands and clenched his fists at Yao Yu, and said respectfully: "The master of Xiyang County, Tao Ji, has seen my lord."

Yao Yu was even more surprised: "You are the chief bookkeeper of Xiyang County? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Tao Ji, who claimed to be the master bookkeeper, shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face: "Have you forgotten, my lord, half a month ago, when you killed Luo Yan and entered Xiyang County, you visited you with three classes and six rooms at the Yamen, and the county Cheng Catcher. It's just that you've been in the study since then, so you haven't seen you again."

Yao Yu suddenly realized, and followed the old face to blush.

That's true.

Since coming to Xiyang County, I have basically never been out.

Especially after Yao Bao and Shen Cheng brought people here, they arranged Yao Bao and them for everything, not to mention that they could think of Tao Ji, a native of Xiyang County.

Even, Tao Ji didn't report his family, and he didn't even know his name.

"Why didn't you go home in the yamen?"

Tao Ji blinked: "My lord, are you confused, I have always lived in the yamen, but you are active in the backyard and can't see me."

Yao Yu: "Uh, really?"

Tao Ji nodded seriously.

As soon as the two of them wanted to say something more, the voices of the house slaves came from outside the door.

"Where did that kid go, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye."

"Hmph, the entrance is so big, he is injured and bleeding, and he can't run anywhere. Let's look carefully."

"Yes, be careful, and you'll have to arrest this kid if you say anything. If you dare to torture the eldest prince like this, you will never be able to spare him."

Outside the door, hearing this, Yao Yu couldn't help but get nervous.

It's a bad thing, these people are really lawless, and if they are really caught, there is only one way to die.

As soon as the idea in Yao Yu's heart landed, he heard a person outside the door: "I found it, there are blood stains in front of the door of this house, it must be Yao Yu's kid."

Hearing this, Yao Yuxin mentioned his throat.

It's broken, but after all, it's still hard to escape.

Just as Yao Yu tightened his head knife and prepared for battle, Tao Ji pressed the back of Yao Yu's hand from the side and shook his head at him.

Seeing this situation, Yao Yu's face was a little confused, and he didn't understand what Tao Ji meant.

Just wondering, Tao Ji led Yao Yu to his bed, and pointed to the bed: "My lord, you hide it first, and I will deal with the rest."

Yao Yu didn't understand what Tao Ji meant, you deal with it, how do you deal with it.

Yes, you look serious, but those traitors aren't necessarily intimidated by you.

When he thought about it, the house slaves outside the door had already slammed the door, shouting for Yao Yu to get out.

Hearing this, Yao Yu couldn't help but become even more nervous.

It's bad, is it possible that you are destined to die today?

Just thinking about it, Tao Ji anxiously pushed Yao Yu to hide under the bed: "My lord, there is no time to hesitate. Trust me, I can handle it."

Seeing Tao Ji's panicked face, Yao Yuxin gritted his teeth, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor.

So, without saying a word, he got under the bed.

Before entering the bed, Tao Ji asked for a ring knife from Yao Yu's hand, and without waiting for Yao Yu to react, he took the knife and stabbed him in the arm.

This scene frightened Yao Yu and didn't understand what Tao Ji meant.

Because of the injury, Tao Ji's expression looked a little unnatural.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he returned the knife to Yao Yu and said, "My lord, you hide it, don't come out, and leave the rest to me."

After speaking, Tao Ji took a hand towel from the side, covered the wound on his arm, and walked towards the door.

Yao Yu looked out from under the bed because he was worried.

But when he saw it, Tao Ji came to the door to open the door with the injury on his arm

In an instant, the house slaves rushed in and opened their mouths to shout: "Yao Yu, get out, you can't run today... Well? Mr. Tao, why are you?"

The arrogant house slaves rushed in, and when they saw Tao Ji, they were stunned for a while, and couldn't help but ask questioning.

Tao Ji still frowned, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you at the yamen?"

The house slaves snorted, looked at each other, and chose to be silent.

There was one who looked like the leader, and said to Tao Ji: "Mr. Tao, it's better not to ask if you shouldn't ask, let me ask you, Yao Yu is like this?"

"Yao Yu, what do you mean by the new county order?"

"Of course, who do you think it is. Mr. Tao, I advise you, if Yao Yu is here, you'd better hand him over. Otherwise, our knives will not recognize anyone."

Tao Ji's face brushed and then pulled it down: "I think you guys are mistaken, what Yao Yu." I'm the only one in this room."

"Hehe, Mr. Tao, I know that you are usually highly respected in Xiyang County, whether it is the common people or the heads of several other families in the city, they are all good friends with you. Those of us who are small, respect you and call you Mr. Tao. But that's not a reason for you to rely on the old and sell the old. There are so many blood stains outside the door, you dare to say that Yao Yu is not here with you!"

Speaking of the back, the head of the house slave stared at him and shouted.

Let's be honest, when ordinary people encounter this situation, they almost panic and mess up.

But Tao Ji didn't, he still maintained a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know anything.

"Blood? Are you talking about mine?"

When he said this, Tao Ji also removed the handkerchief that was pressing the wound and showed the wound on his arm to the house slaves.

The house slaves were stunned when they saw this: "What's going on?"

"I just heard the movement and got up to see what was going on, and I was hurt by my own sword. I was thinking about bandaging it, and here you are. Anyway, who are you? Why do you still know me?"

A few masked house slaves, you look at me, I look at you, and they made eye contact with each other. After a few seconds, they smiled and said to Tao Ji, "Hehe, I disturbed Mr. Tao's rest, sin, sin, since Yao Yu is not here, then we will leave first."

After speaking, several house slaves glanced at each other, turned around and walked away quickly.

Tao Ji chased after him: "Don't go, the third watch broke into the yamen with a knife in the middle of the night, do you still have the king law in your eyes, stop me!"

Let Tao Ji chase after him, but the house slaves shook their bodies and disappeared.

After the people left, Tao Ji turned around and came back, closed the doors and windows, and called Yao Yu out from under the bed.

"Are you alright, my lord?"

Tao Ji cared for the inquiry.

Yao Yu gasped, and a fear of coming back from the ghost gate haunted his heart.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Thank you, sir, for saving your life."

Tao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "The effort of raising your hands, why worry about it."
