The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2215 - 2217: Making an Issue Out of It

"Speak, who sent you here!" Ming Lan had some people bring out a few chairs, and the group sat down in the courtyard, intending to conduct an inquiry on the spot.

However, Yang Chuxia overestimated these individuals.

She initially thought the interrogation would last until midnight, but as soon as she posed the question, the man with the beard shouted, "The governmental office sent us here, you’d better release us. The governmental office said you were rebels, and they sent us to capture you."

"We’re rebels?" Yang Chuxia was somewhat incredulous.

Ye Zi’an was also speechless, "Who from the governmental office sent you?"

"Who else? Our Lord Prefectural Magistrate." The bearded man seemed unafraid and chuckled, "The Lord Prefectural Magistrate sent me a letter, telling us to come and arrest you."

"Where is the letter?"

Beside him, the bald man who hadn’t spoken interjected, "It’s with me."

Ye Er stepped forward and rummaged through his belongings, and indeed found a letter. Ye Zi’an took it, glanced at it, and immediately noticed an issue; the handwriting was similar to Prefectural Magistrate Song’s, yet slightly different, the penmanship was stiff.

"Do you know the person who delivered the letter to you?"

"How could we know? They’re just someone from the governmental office."

Ye Zi’an pondered to himself, who could be using Prefectural Magistrate Song’s name against him?

But regardless of who, this was just a pretense to exploit the situation.

"Darling, it seems I won’t be spending the night at home for the holiday tonight."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need." Ye Zi’an shook his head, "I’ll be back soon."

"I’ll go with you then." Mu Shaoling chuckled, "Just to take a look at how you’re handling things."

Ye Zi’an rolled his eyes in annoyance, is this to watch a spectacle?

Upon hearing Ye Zi’an’s words, Ye Liu and Ye Er swiftly stepped forward, tied these individuals together with ropes, and led them to Ning City.

Because they were moving with a string of people, it was somewhat slow, by the time they arrived in Ning City, it was already the next evening.

Prefect Liu was anxiously fidgeting in his office, not knowing if there had been any success in Liao City.

Just then, Ye Liu brought people over.

He revealed the waist tag, "Lord Liu, my Lord Marquis invites you over."

Upon hearing this, Prefect Liu nearly fainted, his first thought was that his actions had been discovered.

But after considering, he realized something was off; if it was discovered, they would have come to arrest him, not invite him.

Thinking this, Prefect Liu steadied himself, "Yes, I’ll go right away."

Ye Zi’an was currently at the Song Residence, with Prefectural Magistrate Song nervously standing to the side.

"Lord Marquis, why have you come at this hour? Why didn’t you inform me, so I could have greeted you?"

"Inform you?" Ye Zi’an looked at him peculiarly, "Inform you so you can escape?"

He continued coldly, "Song, you’ve got quite the nerve, haven’t you? Daring to send a group of bandits to murder me?"

"Lord Marquis, it’s a false accusation, even if you gave me three times the courage, I’d never dare!"

Prefectural Magistrate Song’s mind was in turmoil, thinking that the plan had actually failed. Failing was not the issue, but clearly it was Prefect Liu’s doing, why blame him?

Could it be that Prefect Liu turned him in?

"Lord Marquis, don’t listen to Prefect Liu’s nonsense, I didn’t do or say anything. It truly has nothing to do with me, he orchestrated everything and falsely accused me."

"Nonsense, this plan was clearly yours!"
