However, Hou Ye doesn't want to fight, there must be his reasons, so let's withdraw first.

Perhaps these people did not think about taking their lives, and easily let them escape from the siege.

Ye Jinyu took the opportunity to look back, and the six people did not catch up again.

"Stop, they should have withdrawn too." After running forward for a distance, Ye Jinyu stopped Li Sui.

Li Sui used a little force in his hand, and gradually slowed down his horse's speed, because he was running too fast just now, and suddenly stopped, and his chest was panting heavily.

Ye Jinyu's back was against his chest, and his breath continued to flow into her ears, warm and itchy. The strong pectoral muscles were lying together through the fabric, flexible and full of tension, rubbing her back as if out of nowhere, making her breathing chaotic.

"He—they just tried to push us back?" Ye Jinyu nervously broke the strange silence first.

Li Sui didn't breathe for too long, he pulled the reins loosely, and therefore pulled a little distance from her, without the contact of skin temperature, the breathing of both of them slowly calmed down.

"Well, I'm afraid the carriage has run far away at this time, and I can't catch up." Li Sui said.

"So what do we do now?" Ye Jinyu asked.

Li Sui thought about it for a while before he said, "Go back to Tengluo City." ”

Ye Jinyu did not refute, this dream is not an ordinary dream, since these people have appeared, and they are somewhat related to the task, they will definitely encounter them later.

The time in the dream can't be calculated by common sense, the little time they delayed in Jinping County, and when they returned to Tengluo City, the case was almost closed.

"What's going on? The murderer caught? Ye Jinyu pulled Qin Miaoyin over and asked in a low voice.

Qin Miaoyin also whispered back to her, "It should be soon, Lord Li has called Feng Lin and Qi Qinqin away for questioning, and Brother Guanyu is also helping in the yamen, telling us to wait at the post station first." ”

"I just heard the official outside say, haven't you already caught the suspect, who is it?" Ye Jinyu felt that he had just gone out for a trip, and when he came back, it was as if he had missed the whole world, and the progress of this task was too fast, making everyone confused.

"I heard the official who interrogated Feng Lin say that the murderer is in the Guixiang Pavilion, as if he is a turtle slave." Qin Miaoyin said uncertainly.

Ye Jinyu gently pursed his lower lip and did not continue to ask, it seems that there is no task for the time being. They sat down in their chairs to rest bored, but fortunately it was only in a dream, and it didn't last long, and the dream dissipated.

A new day is coming, and the unsolved problems and doubts are still there, Ye Jinyu went to Mingshu Garden to visit Zhou Si.

His situation was a little better than the previous two days, and he didn't admit Ye Jinyu wrong, but the way he looked at Ye Jinyu made her feel uncomfortable.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that the eyes are too loving, too soft, as if ...... It was as if the father was looking at his daughter.

Don't...... Phew, no, how could it be, it's crazy to come up with this kind of conjecture.

Ye Jinyu spit on herself deeply, feeling that Zhou Si was quite affectionate to her mother this time, and she could love the house and Wu to this extent. If she just lost her father ten years ago, maybe Zhou Si would have become her stepfather now.

"You...... It's okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Ye Jinyu originally wanted to ask Zhou Si about the situation of Xiang Mansion back then, how to say that he was also a person who grew up in Tongyuan County, but as soon as the words came out, he thought of Mr. Jiang's advice, so he changed the conversation in time.

Zhou Si has complicated feelings for her, he wants to love her as his own daughter, but he also feels that he is unworthy, as long as he thinks of what happened back then, he can't wait to stab himself twice.

He wanted Ye Jinyu to talk to him for a while, but this thought was crushed by him after a turn in his heart, and he could only reluctantly watch her leave.

What the hell is going on in his mind, at every critical moment, he always can't remember those crucial things. He knew that Ye Jinyu came to see him every day and was willing to talk to him, but he actually wanted to inquire about the things of the year.

If his brain hadn't broken and his memory was still intact, he would have knelt down before her and told the truth so that he could atone for her and her parents.

But even he himself didn't remember what the truth was, and the doctor said that those memories were probably the regrets he was most unwilling to face, and whether he could fully recover them in the end depended on his own willpower.

Zhou Si is day and night, as long as he is alone, he will force himself to think about it. Enduring the pain of his mind exploding all the time, and occasionally a detail or two sounded, he immediately took a pen and wrote it down.

But this was not enough, the things he wrote down couldn't help Ye Jinyu at all.

Zhou Si, Zhou Si, if you had such an awareness ten years ago, why did you fall into such a situation.

After experiencing a life and death, people always have to understand certain things.

In the afternoon, Ye Jinyu went to Qi Mansion with Ling Zhao to pick up Yunqing from school.

Yun Qianzhong originally wanted to go with them and pick up his younger brother from school in person, but he was afraid that his identity would cause gossip for his younger brother, so he finally retreated before leaving, and found an excuse to resign.

But she didn't know that Ye Jinyu and Ling Zhao were very clear about her concerns and intentions in their hearts.

"Chiju girl is also pitiful." Ling Zhao sighed in the carriage.

Ye Jinyu raised his eyebrows, "I remember that you were quite hostile to her before, why do you finally see the shining points in others now?" ”

"Yes, yes?" Ling Zhao was nervous and almost bit his tongue, and when he looked at the girl's smiling eyes, he knew that she was teasing herself, and couldn't help laughing: "I used to guard against her because I was afraid that she would get in the way of the girl, but now I think that Miss Qianzhong is a very indifferent person, and she is also very good to the girl." ”

Indifferent? Ye Jinyu smiled bitterly in her heart, she felt that Qianzhong was not indifferent, but wanted to work hard to live decently in this harsh environment.

"Yunqing is your good disciple, Qianzhong is Yunqing's own sister, you can be regarded as a family, do you have to take care of others in the future?" Ye Jinyu retracted his thoughts and half-jokingly admonished.

Ling Zhao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. absolutely

When the carriage reached the front door of Qi Mansion, it was stopped by Ye Jinyu.

"I'll go in to meet my grandmother, maybe I'll stay for dinner, you take Yunqing and go back in the carriage first, don't worry about me." After Ye Jinyu finished explaining to Ling Zhao, he jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the gate of Qi Mansion.

Last time, her uncle's attitude towards her has always made her lingering, and she used to be able to deal with him with a perfunctory attitude, but now she feels that if she continues to drag on and report nothing to him, she is afraid that she will be scolded again in a few days.

Ye Jinyu chose to take the initiative to report the situation, just to get back a little initiative and let his uncle relax his vigilance a little.

"Recently, the Hou Ye has not seen any abnormal behavior, as for the ...... in the house" Ye Jinyu paused, as if considering whether there were some things that needed to be reported, Qi Yan nodded at her and said, "It's no matter how big or small, but it's okay to say it." ”

Ye Jinyu got the amnesty, so he said unscrupulously: "Recently, there are two guests in the mansion, one is a Qianzhong girl in the workshop, and the other is Xing Gongzi, a cousin of the Qin family, both of whom have some connection with Yuan Cheng's murder. But my cousin has already interrogated them, so they shouldn't have a problem. ”

A little doubt flashed on Qi Yan's face, "I have also heard of this Qianzhong girl, and it is not unusual for the Hou Ye to be willing to protect her." But that Xing Gongzi, what kind of friendship does he have with Hou Ye? ”

"Hmm...... He, he can be regarded as helping Master Hou, do you remember the important person certificate that your cousin said? Ye Jinyu tilted his head and asked.

"Yes."

Ye Jinyu continued: "That person happened to be saved by Xing Gongzi. ”

"What the hell is this witness?" Qi Yan was aroused.

Ye Jinyu suddenly became embarrassed, and finally made his words clear after a long time, "Actually, in fact, this person is not important to Hou Ye, the reason why Hou Ye is chasing him is for me." ”

Qi Yan squinted his eyes slightly, frowned at her, and waited for her to continue explaining.

"You, haven't you always told me to track down my father's case, and in order to please me, Master Hou took the initiative to help me fulfill a wish. I took the opportunity to make this request, and Hou Ye did not refuse, and really tried his best to help me investigate. This important personal testimony may prove my father's innocence, but now ......"

Qi Yan's expression on her face underwent a series of changes because of her words, embarrassed, stunned, shocked, dignified, and finally all emotions were twisted together and turned serious.

"What's going on now?"

"This person is seriously injured, although he has woken up, he only remembers his name, and I don't know if we are looking for the wrong person." Ye Jinyu sighed regretfully.

"And what's his name?" Qi Yan asked.

"Hmm...... What's going on with Zhou, Zhou? Ye Jinyu pondered for a long time, intentionally or unintentionally peeked at his uncle's reaction, but only saw seriousness, "I remembered, it's called Zhou Si." ”

"Zhou Si?" Qi Yan pondered the name.

Ye Jinyu's eyes lit up and asked, "Uncle has heard of it?" ”

Qi Yan thought for a while before saying, "I've never heard of it, I've also tracked down your father's case over the years, and I've never heard of such a person." Wu Anhou is used to rhetoric, and he is experienced in pleasing women, so you must pay more attention, you know? ”

It means that in order to please her, Hou Ye is likely to deliberately fabricate such a person to come out and paralyze her.

It's not that Ye Jinyu is eccentric, but in this matter, she trusts Master Hou more.

"Uncle is right, I didn't expect this." Ye Jinyu opened his mouth in surprise, "I will definitely be more cautious in the future." ”

Qi Yan nodded with satisfaction, showed a loving smile, and said softly, "Is there anything else?" ”

Ye Jinyu shook his head.

"Well, I've wronged you these days, go back and have a good rest." Qi Yan gave her a word of advice as an elder.

When I left Qifu, it was already late, and on the inky night sky, heavy clouds covered the sky and the moon, and the gentle breeze was mixed with a trace of moisture.

It's going to rain!

Qi Mansion and Hou Mansion are not too far away, Ye Jinyu originally planned to walk back, but looking at the weather change, maybe it will rain halfway through.

Why don't you go back and ask for a carriage and send her back?

As soon as the thought came to me, a drop of water fell on his face. Then two drops, three drops...... In a matter of moments, her face was wet.

Hold the grass! The rain was so rapid and dense that Ye Jinyu was caught off guard.

She immediately turned around to go back to Qi Mansion, but she didn't know when a big tall man appeared behind her, and she bumped into each other unexpectedly.

"Be careful!"

Ye Jinyu slammed her head on a hard object, accompanied by a man's low voice, and she was stunned with a bang.

It took a moment to calm down, and when I looked at it, it was an umbrella handle, no wonder my forehead didn't hurt so much.

"How reckless, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, someone flicked the door of his head again, and at the place where he was injured just now, Ye Jinyu glared at him angrily, and saw a pair of eyes with a smile and distress.

She trembled in her heart, it was too close, it made her feel a little weak, and she subconsciously stepped back to distance herself.

Seeing that the rain was about to hit her again, Qi Guanyu hurriedly reached out and grabbed the person back, "Scared by me?" Come on in, get wet and get cold. ”
