After learning from the mute woman that Xue Huaiyuan's former subordinates were sent to Dongshan, Ye Mingyu had the mute woman sent back. Just as Jiang Li thought, because the mute woman was old and outsiders thought she could not speak, Feng Yutang did not take the mute woman to heart. When Ye Mingyu's people sent the mute woman back, no one noticed.
In the room, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu were still sitting opposite each other. It was late at night, but the two of them were not sleepy at all. Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li and said, "A Li, this matter is not simple."
Although Ye Mingyu knew from the beginning that the Xue family case was not trivial, it was to overturn the verdict of the guilty minister after all. Whenever the verdict was overturned and the injustice was cleared, it would inevitably infringe on the interests of other people. Feng Yutang, the current county magistrate of Tongxiang, was clearly not a good person. What Jiang Li had to do was naturally not that simple.
But what the mute woman said was beyond Ye Mingyu's expectation. Feng Yutang dared to turn the former officials into slaves so blatantly and control the life and death of others at will. This can be said to be very arrogant and cruel. If it is said that there is no big force behind it, Ye Mingyu will never believe it. Although Jiang Yuanbai is the prime minister, the powerful ministers of Beiyan are not just Jiang Yuanbai.
Ye Mingyu thought that he dared not underestimate the seriousness of this matter, but he did not expect that he still underestimated it.
Jiang Li looked at Ye Mingyu and saw that Ye Mingyu's expression was solemn. Knowing what Ye Mingyu was worried about, she said: "I know, uncle, but I don't plan to give up."
This sentence was what Ye Mingyu expected. Jiang Li went through so much trouble, even at the cost of confronting Feng Yutang. It would not be Jiang Li's character to back down so easily. Moreover, Ye Mingyu thought that Jiang Li knew much more about this matter than he did.
He was a rough man, not as smart as Ye Da and Ye Er, and could not think of any plan to help Jiang Li. He had to do what Jiang Li said and do his best to help Jiang Li within his ability.
So, Ye Mingyu just hesitated for a while, and said happily: "Since this is the case, A Li, I won't persuade you. What to do next, what to do, just tell me, uncle will be with you."
This made Jiang Li feel warm in her heart. She said: "Although the mute woman said that those people are now in Dongshan, it has been so long. I don't know if Feng Yutang and others have moved them away, or if they are still alive." Jiang Li paused and said: "Uncle also heard what the mute woman said. Life in the mine is difficult, and Feng Yutang is determined to torture them. I don't know how long ordinary people can last in it."
"What you said makes sense," Ye Mingyu said: "I will take people to Dongshan in person first to see that What is the current situation of these people. Tongxiang is not big, and it should not be difficult to go to Dongshan overnight. "
Jiang Li continued: "Not only that, if they are really in Dongshan, Feng Yutang must have arranged supervisors in the mine, and my uncle's people must see clearly how many people they have and whether they can avoid them without alarming them. If they must alarm them, can they all be captured in a short time, so that they don't report to Feng Yutang, and wait for reinforcements to come, and it will be difficult for us to take action. "
Ye Mingyu smiled: "Don't worry, your uncle is already familiar with these threatening things. "
Jiang Li nodded: "I wonder if my uncle can give me an answer tomorrow?"
"So soon?" Ye Mingyu was surprised.
"It's not that I want to embarrass my uncle." Jiang Li looked apologetic. "It's because we don't have much time left. In seven days, County Magistrate Xue will be executed. If we can't find enough evidence to raise doubts and suspend the execution within seven days, everything will be in vain."
