Lian Zhou understood: "Are you going to ...... Stay here and investigate? ”

In addition to Xi Su's good ability to interrogate, he is also extremely good at disguise, so it is naturally no problem for him to disguise himself as the master and leave.

But the key is-

In this way, isn't there only the master left?

There are not many people who have come out to follow them this time, and if they want to hide their eyes, there must be no fewer people who leave the city tomorrow, otherwise they will definitely be seen as a problem.

Shen Yanchuan didn't seem to care: "When I go in to find out the truth, I will go to Changzhou again." ”

Today, out of caution, he only watched from a distance for a moment, and did not go deep into the grass and startle the snake.

Then I'll take a closer look.

Lian Zhou saw that he had made up his mind, and knew that persuasion was useless, so he had to respond: "Yes!" ”

……

South of the city, somewhere in a small courtyard.

It was already dark at night, and Su Peier had just pushed the door into the house to rest, when she suddenly saw that there were more people in the house.

She was about to exclaim in surprise, but the man looked up, took off his weft hat, and a warm and beautiful face came into view.

Su Pei'er's eyes widened:

"Leaf—"

She hurriedly looked left and right, turned around and closed the door, and then hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Second Miss Ye, why are you here!?" ”

The person who came was dressed in a blue-gray brocade robe, with a cloud-like black hair simply tied up, a tall and slender figure, at first glance, I thought it was a young man!

Isn't it Ye Chutang, who was supposed to be in Qingzhou?

Ye Chutang smiled and motioned for her to sit down, not to be nervous.

"After receiving your letter, I decided to come over. Because of Xiao Wu's illness, it was delayed for two days, and it was too late. ”

The shock in Su Peier's eyes was even greater.

Coming, coming late?

Counting the days, her letter should have arrived in Qingzhou a few days ago, right?

Except for the time when Xiao Wu was sick, wouldn't it mean that Ye Chutang only came in just two or three days!?

She muttered helplessly: "But, but Qingzhou is hundreds of miles away from here, Miss Ye Er, how did you come here?" ”

Ye Chutang's chin was raised lightly: "Ride a horse faster." ”

Su Peier couldn't believe it.

- Ye Chutang actually rode alone for hundreds of miles a day!

You must know that she came to Shiluan City from the capital before, and she specially invited a groom and traveled for more than half a month!

"You, you're ......" Su Pei'er was worried and afraid.

No matter how much she is a woman, she doesn't know how much danger there will be when she is out alone!

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't speak again.

Ye Chutang took her younger brothers and sisters to go into exile to make a living a few years ago, and finally brought them back to the capital safely, which is enough to prove that she is not an ordinary woman.

In the end, Su Pei'er had to say, "You are too sudden...... If you have any instructions, write to me directly, so why bother you to make this trip yourself? ”

Ye Chutang shook his head: "I thought about coming before, but there were too many things, so it dragged on until today." ”

When she saw off Sun Li'an outside the city gate, Sun Li'an hinted that her Shiluancheng might have something to do with her father's death, so she put this matter on the agenda.

Now taking the opportunity to return to Qingzhou, I happened to come over unconsciously.

When Su Peier heard this, she finally relaxed a little.

"It turns out that Miss Ye Er has already arranged ......"

Before she left the capital, Ye Chutang asked Ye Yunfeng to send her a decoction and silver taels, she accepted all the things, and later found a note in the mezzanine of the purse.

Ye Chutang asked her to go to Shiluan City and write to her after she was settled.

The address is not the capital, but Qingzhou.

Su Pei'er had never been to Qingzhou, but vaguely heard that it seemed to be Lord Ye Zheng's homeland, and after everything was cleaned up here, she sent a letter to Qingzhou.

It's just that she didn't expect that Ye Chutang would come here immediately after receiving the letter.

Ye Chutang said: "You have been in Shiluancheng River for a while, and you can understand it, so you can tell me about it." ”

Su Pei'er nodded, secretly glad that she had not slackened off during this time, trying to walk around the city as much as possible, and heard a lot of questions.

She paused for a moment, sorted out her thoughts in her head, and then began to speak.

"This Shiluan City is a small place, compared with the capital, it is really different, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful, which is good. Because of this, there are not many outsiders in this city, and most of the people have always lived here. ”

Ye Chutang listened silently on the side, his eyes drooping slightly, and no one could see through what she was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Su Peier continued to talk about what she had seen and heard during this time.

“…… If there is any difference between this Shiluan City and other places, there is a mine outside the city. ”

Su Pei'er had never seen the mine before, so she was naturally more aware of it.

Ye Chutang's eyes raised slightly: "Oh? ”

Su Peier explained: "It's not a big mine, I just heard that the boss seems to be from outside, so he doesn't care much, and there are only a few overseers left below, watching those people work every day." I heard that the pay is not low, but the rules are too strict, and few people can work there for a long time. ”

This is not a secret in Shiluan City, Su Pei'er first came here and heard about it.

Ye Chutang's eyebrows raised slightly: "Since it is a small mine, why are those supervisors so strict?" ”

Su Peier shook her head: "I don't know about this. It's just that when I went out of the city before, I looked at it from afar a few times, and looked...... It's not a big look. ”

Ye Chutang suddenly asked, "Do you know where the owner of the mine is?" ”

"I don't know." Su Peier thought for a moment, "It seems that because he doesn't come much, the people in the city don't mention it much. ”

This is even stranger.

No matter how small the iron mine is, it is impossible to open it privately without opening up the relationship with the official family.

And such a person, in a place like Shiluan City, can definitely be regarded as a powerful character, and there will be some rumors below.

Especially if it's still an outsider, how can you control the snake without any means?

However, there is not much news about this man in the city.

Ye Chutang fell into deep thought, and asked again: "Where is the specific location of the iron mine?" ”

Su Peier had a premonition: "You, you ask this, is it possible that you are planning to go and see?" But it was very tightly guarded, and if it wasn't for the people inside the mine, they would be driven away as soon as they approached. ”

Ye Chutang smiled: "Anyway, there's nothing else, it's okay to take a look." ”

Su Peier: "......"

Miss Ye Er's tone is too light!

"But you're a raw face, you're still a woman, they're definitely not going to let you in! If so, if it's rude to you—"

Those rough people don't know the identity of Miss Ye Er, and they must have no fear!

The corners of Ye Chutang's lips hooked slightly: "Don't worry, I won't go today." ”

Su Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the relaxed smile had not yet stretched, and he listened to Ye Chutang again:

"I didn't have much rest after two days of traveling, so I got some sleep first. It's not too late to wake up tomorrow and go again."
