The poor have their way, and the rich have to have the way of the rich.

At this time, it is necessary for the people of the Zhao Governor's Mansion to come out.

Governor Zhao will not use his own name to dispatch, but as long as there are people who let him be there, it is enough.

Next, accompanied by several henchmen of the Zhao Governor's Mansion, Wang Xiaoming's subordinates visited the rich and noble families in the city one by one with gifts, and each family, according to the different degrees of wealth, solemnly paid attention to the number of soaps and matches.

If it is only Wang Xiaoming's subordinates who send gifts, even if they send the gifts to the door, it is not certain that the other party will not accept them, and even if they receive the gifts, they may not use them at all.

But with the prefect's manpower to follow him, the meaning is completely different.

The prefect's face is still very big, and it must be given, and whoever will offend the local prefect.

So these gifts will definitely be accepted and will be tried to be used.

Ordinary people can't give up their business, and wealthy people can't give up their business.

Wang Xiaoming's strategy was undoubtedly very successful, and after just three days, the sales of matches and soap were booming, and the four branches in the city were crowded.

However, Wang Xiaoming also knows that this situation is not good to maintain for too long, although matches are consumables, but the price is not low, ordinary people are reluctant to buy, as for soap, a piece of soap has to be used for a long time, everyone has not used it in a short period of time, and there are naturally many people who buy it, and when they all buy soap, the sales of soap will decline.

However, Wang Xiaoming is not worried about the sales situation.

Because in his original plan, he didn't rely on local sales, but sold goods and sold them all over the country in order to really make money.

Sales of matches and soaps are getting better and better. There has been a situation where demand is in short supply.

Wang Xiaoming has long had this regard.

It is not so convenient to completely rely on the production of finished products from other places and then transport them back for sale, and Wang Xiaoming's purpose of establishing Qingyun Villa is also here.

In Qingyun Villa, Wang Xiaoming has built a number of workshops, which can carry out secondary processing of products, and the main raw materials of soap and matches are produced from overseas, and then these main raw materials are transported to the workshops of Qingyun Villa for secondary processing.

In this way, not only the speed of transportation is accelerated. And the speed of production has also accelerated.

Because the factory on the island of the sea ship Yinyue Island does not need to make finished products, only the main raw materials need to be made, which is naturally much faster than making finished products.

At present, Wang Xiaoming only plans to produce matches and soap, and does not plan to get involved in the rest of the products.

Part of the reason is that the production capacity cannot keep up, and the other part is that the money earned from these two products is enough for his daily expenses.

Making money was never his goal, it was just a means to achieve it.

Qingyun Villa is already on the right track, and Wang Xiaoming doesn't have to worry about the rest for the time being.

Wang Xiaoming remembered another person in his mind, and that was a woman named Ye Pingxuan.

Wang Xiaoming misses Ye Pingxuan. Instead of missing, it is better to visit, Wang Xiaoming did not hesitate to arrange the affairs of Qingyun Villa. went on the road alone and went to find Ye Pingxuan.

It took a day to rush to Ye Pingxuan's house, but when Wang Xiaoming came here, he was surprised, but something happened to Ye Pingxuan's family.

Inquire a little. The cause and effect of the incident were all inquired.

Ye Pingxuan's father, Ye Zhiyuan, was dismissed and investigated because of the corruption case, and the whole family was implicated because of this, and he was escorted to Beijing by the official.

Wang Xiaoming was also taken aback. I didn't expect that such a big change had already happened in a short period of time.

To say that Ye Pingxuan's father was arrested because of corruption, Wang Xiaoming didn't believe it, although the time he came to Da Zhou was not too long, but Wang Xiaoming had already seen that there were officials in Da Zhou who were not corrupt, if you want to say that Ye Pingxuan's father was corrupt, Wang Xiaoming believed it, and if you want to say that he was taken down because of corruption, Wang Xiaoming absolutely did not believe it.

Wang Xiaoming is even more convinced that Ye Pingxuan's father was pulled off the horse because of the failure of the political struggle.

Now that the incident has happened, it is useless to talk about it now, first of all, it is necessary to go to the carriage to rescue Ye Pingxuan and her family.

It was not difficult to inquire about the news of Ye Pingxuan's family, and soon inquired about the time when their family was sent away and the route they were sent away.

Half a month has passed since they were sent away, and maybe they have all been sent to the capital now.

Wang Xiaoming didn't dare to delay time, so he quickly whipped up and chased them as fast as he could.

This chase lasted for three days and three nights, and three horses were killed along the way, if Wang Xiaoming hadn't had enough money to buy one horse after running to death, there would really be no way to continue the journey.

Three days later, Wang Xiaoming rushed to the capital, Wang Xiaoming immediately inquired about the news of the Ye family, Ye Zhiyuan's case is a big case, and it is also the most sensational news recently, the news of Ye Zhiyuan's case has spread all over the streets and alleys, you only need to go to the teahouse to find the shopkeeper to inquire.

Wang Xiaoming's actions are already fast, but they are also a step late, the Ye family and his party have been brought here two days ago, but there is good news, because the Ye family's case is not a trivial matter, so it will not be interrogated so quickly, it will take some time, and the Ye family and others were just imprisoned and did not deal with it.

Wang Xiaoming still has time to save them.

Speaking of which, it is not easy to save them, if it is only Ye Pingxuan alone, Wang Xiaoming can immediately save people from the cell.

But the problem is that Ye Pingxuan is not just one person, but a big family, dozens of people up and down, it is really not easy to rescue dozens of people from the prison cells in the capital and take them out safely.

Wang Xiaoming needs to think about it carefully, and he also needs to make complete preparations before he can save people.

But before that, he needed to meet Ye Pingxuan first to make sure she was safe.

Male and female prisoners were detained separately, and Ye Pingxuan was naturally detained in the female prisoner prison with her female relatives.

At this time, in the female prisoner's cell, Ye Pingxuan's family was huddled in the cell, and the environment in the cell was not only very bad. And it was very cold, when did they have this kind of experience, they were all shivering from the cold.

What is more important is not the coldness of the external environment, but the panic and helplessness in the heart.

On the charge of the old man of the Ye family, the fate of these female dependents is the most miserable, they will be sold to the Teaching Workshop Division and become an official and prostitute.

What will happen to their lives in the future? It was unimaginable, and just thinking about it made them feel cold.

Ye Pingxuan was still holding a little girl in her arms, it was her twelve-year-old little sister, the little sister was trembling with fright, and Ye Pingxuan was still comforting her softly.

At this time, Ye Pingxuan's condition was not very good, she was dirty, her face was also messy with various colors, and her hair was also messy. The whole person doesn't look very good.

This part is deliberate, and the other part is caused by the hard work of the days when he was arrested.

While comforting her sister, Ye Pingxuan couldn't help but think of the man who had promised her, and he said that he would come to her. It's just a pity that I can't wait for that day.

Did he know that something had happened? Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't.

If he knew, what would he think? Or will it come to the rescue?

Ye Pingxuan couldn't think of an answer, she just vaguely had an expectation, but that thought was too illusory. Even she herself did not believe it.

She can only hope that her father will not be convicted, their family can be acquitted, and the family wealth is all outside the body, as long as the family is safe.

It's just, I'm afraid, it's just a luxury.

Just when Ye Pingxuan was holding her sister and thinking nonsense, the female guard in the cell came in with a person, this is a person wearing a cloak, he can't see his appearance clearly, but he doesn't look like a woman, but looks a little tall.

The female guard led the person to the door of the cell, opened the cell, and then said softly and flatteringly: "Please take care of yourself, that is, please move quickly, it will not be good if someone finds out." ”

"Thank you. The visitor whispered, stretched out his hand, and put a small bag of silver coins in the hand of the female guard, who immediately laughed, took the money bag, and walked out quickly.

There was only Ye Pingxuan's family in the cell, and the door of the old room was opened, and there was a mysterious man in a cloak standing at the door, which suddenly made Ye Pingxuan's family uneasy.

The man in the cloak lifted his cloak, revealing a man's face.

Ye Pingxuan looked at this face blankly, her mouth opened but she couldn't say anything.

"Pingxuan, I'm sorry I'm late. Wang Xiaoming looked at the haggard Ye Pingxuan in front of him and said softly.

The Ye family and his party were also taken aback, Pingxuan, who is this guy, how could he know Ye Pingxuan, and he is so intimate.

Ye Pingxuan said dumbfoundedly: "Why are you here?" ”

Wang Xiaoming said: "I rushed over as soon as I heard the news of your family's accident, don't worry, I'm here, and you'll be fine." ”

Wang Xiaoming took two steps forward and was closer to Ye Pingxuan.

Ye Pingxuan looked at this familiar and unfamiliar face blankly, stood up suddenly, and threw herself into Wang Xiaoming's arms, she beat Wang Xiaoming's chest hard, and cried loudly.

The experience of this period of time, for a little woman like her, is really an incredible and terrifying life, and it is about to collapse Ye Pingxuan.

Now that she suddenly saw Wang Xiaoming appear in front of her, and suddenly heard what Wang Xiaoming said, Ye Pingxuan couldn't bear the grief in her heart anymore and cried loudly.

When everyone in the Ye family saw this scene, many people also cried, but some of them understood that the man who suddenly appeared had a lot to do with Ye Pingxuan.

It's just that they can't figure it out, Ye Pingxuan usually doesn't go out at all, how can he know any man, and depending on the situation, the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

However, it was not a matter of asking these questions at this time, so they also waited quietly and did not ask anything more.

After a while, Ye Pingxuan's emotions were finally vented, she touched her tears, raised her head to the face in front of her, and still couldn't believe it and asked: "Are you really here to save us? Do you know who we are? Do you know how much of my father's sin is? Do you know what kind of place this is? How easy it is to save us." ”

Ye Pingxuan's mood is still very excited.

Wang Xiaoming gently stroked Ye Pingxuan's face, and said gently: "I know, I know, but please believe me, I can rescue you, everything is fine." ”

After a pause, Wang Xiaoming said: "To be honest, it is easy for me to save you alone, I can take you out of here and away from home now, but you have too many family members, and if you want to save them all safely, you still need to plan well." ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's words, although Ye Pingxuan was also excited, she was definitely not the most excited person, the most excited person was a white-haired old woman in the crowd.

"Sir, are you serious?" asked the old woman, excitedly.

Ye Pingxuan hurriedly introduced: "This is my grandmother." ”

Since he is Ye Pingxuan's elder, Wang Xiaoming will naturally not slack off, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't call me that, I'm a junior, just call me Xiao Ming, as for the question asked by grandma, please rest assured, since I dare to say this, I am naturally sure that I can do this." ”

"Thank you, old man. Ye Pingxuan's grandmother said that she wanted to salute and thank her, but Wang Xiaoming hurriedly grabbed her and stopped her.

After Wang Xiaoming calmed the old man, he hurriedly said: "Time is limited, we still have to make a long story short now." ”

"I need to know now how many of you have been arrested and where are these people, do any of you know?"

"Okay, one question, one question, let's find out first, how many of you are in total, and determine the number of people first. ”

After careful analysis by everyone, the number of people in the Ye family was finally figured out.

Their Ye family is also a big family, with a large population, and Ye Pingxuan's father, Ye Zhiyuan, is the head of the Ye family, and when he has an accident, the whole family will suffer, and it is also because of this reason that so many people will be arrested together.

The total number of people arrested by the Ye family, after statistics, should be seventy-eight, of which fifty-two are women, and the rest are all men, which is twenty-six.

Among the more than fifty women, many of them are not the direct relatives of the Ye family, but the wives and concubines of those men of the Ye family.

All fifty-two women are here, and there are three boys, who are still here, because they are still young, and they are also staying here with their mothers.

The remaining twenty-three men are staying somewhere else, and they don't know exactly where they are. (To be continued......)
