Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 312 Meeting (st update)
Lian Zhou understood: "Are you planning to... continue to stay here to investigate?"

In addition to being good at interrogation, Xi Su was also very good at disguise, so it would be no problem for him to leave disguised as his master.

But the key is——

In this case, wouldn't it mean that only the master is left?
There were not many people accompanying them on this trip. If they wanted to conceal their tracks, a lot of people must leave the city tomorrow, otherwise someone would definitely notice something was wrong.

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

Out of caution today, he just looked outside for a moment and did not go in depth to alert the snake.

Then look for opportunities to take a closer look.

Lian Zhou saw that he had made up his mind and knew that persuasion was useless, so he had no choice but to agree: "Yes!"

……

In the south of the city, there is a small courtyard somewhere.

It was already dark, and Su Pei'er had just opened the door and entered the house to rest, when she suddenly saw an extra person in the house.

She was about to scream out in surprise when the man looked up, took off his hat, and a gentle and beautiful face came into view.

Su Peier opened her eyes wide:

"leaf--"

She quickly looked around, turned around and closed the door, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Miss Ye Er, why are you here!?"

The person who came was wearing a blue-grey brocade dress, with a head of black hair that was simply tied up. He was tall and slender. At first glance, he thought he was a young man from some family!
If it wasn't Ye Chutang who was originally supposed to be in Qingzhou, who was it?
Ye Chutang smiled and motioned for her to sit down and not to be nervous.

"After receiving your letter, I decided to come over. I was delayed for two days due to Xiao Wu's illness, so I came too late."

Su Peier's eyes were even more shocked.

Come, come late?

Counting the days, her letter should have arrived in Qingzhou a few days ago, right?
Excluding the time when Xiao Wu was sick, wouldn't it mean that Ye Chutang arrived in just two or three days! ?

She was helpless and murmured: "But, Qingzhou is hundreds of miles away from here. Miss Ye Er, how did you get here?"

Ye Chutang raised his chin slightly: "Horse the horse faster."

Su Pei'er couldn't believe it.

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

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

"You, you..." Su Peier was worried and scared.

After all, she is still a woman, and she doesn’t know how dangerous she will be if she is alone outside!
But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them again.

Ye Chutang had taken her younger brothers and sisters into exile a few years ago to make a living, and finally brought them back to the capital safely, which was enough to prove that she was no ordinary woman.

In the end, Su Pei'er had to say: "This is too sudden for you... If you have any instructions, just write to me directly. Why bother you to make this trip in person?"

Ye Chutang shook his head: "I had been thinking about coming before, but there were too many things to do, so it was postponed until today."

When she saw off Sun Li'an outside the city gate, Sun Li'an hinted to her that Shiluan City might be related to her father's death, so she put the matter on her schedule.

Now I took the opportunity to return to Qingzhou and came here without anyone noticing.

When Su Pei'er heard this, she finally felt relieved.

"It turns out that Miss Ye Er has already made arrangements..."

Before she left the capital, Ye Chutang had asked Ye Yunfeng to send her decoctions and silver coins. She collected them all, and later found a note in the middle of the purse. Ye Chutang asked her to go to Shiluan City and write to her after settling in.

The address is not the capital, but Qingzhou.

Su Pei'er had never been to Qingzhou, and had only vaguely heard people mention it as Lord Ye Zheng's hometown. After everything was sorted here, she sent a letter to Qingzhou.

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

Ye Chutang said: "You have been here in Shiluancheng River for a while, and you understand it well. You can talk to me."

Su Pei'er nodded, secretly glad that she had not slacked off during this period. She tried to walk around the city as much as possible and heard and asked a lot of things.

She paused for a moment, sorted out her thoughts in her mind, and then started talking.

"This Shiluan City is a small place. Compared with the capital city, it is really different. However, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. Because of this, there are not many outsiders in this city, and most of the people have always been there. living here.”

Ye Chutang listened silently, her eyes slightly lowered, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Su Pei'er continued to talk, recounting everything she had seen and heard during this period.

"...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 a mine with her own eyes before, so naturally she paid special attention to this matter.

Ye Chutang raised his eyes slightly: "Oh?"

Su Pei'er explained: "It's not a big mine. I heard that the boss seems to be a foreigner and doesn't take care of it very much. There are only a few supervisors left below and they watch those people working 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 had heard about it when she first came here.

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

Su Pei'er shook her head: "I don't know about this. It's just that when I went outside the city before, I took a look at it from a distance, and it looked... it really didn't look big."

Ye Chutang suddenly asked: "Do you know where the boss of that mine is from?"

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

This is even stranger.

No matter how small an iron ore mine is, it cannot be opened privately without establishing relations with the government.

And such a person is definitely considered a powerful figure in a place like Shiluan City, and there will be more or less rumors below.

Especially if you are a foreigner and don’t have any means, how can you defeat a local snake?

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

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

Su Pei'er had a premonition: "You, you are asking this, are you planning to go and have a look? But the security there is very strict. If you are not someone inside the mine, you will be driven away as soon as you approach."

Ye Chutang smiled: "I don't have anything else to do anyway, so it doesn't hurt to go take a look."

Su Pei'er: "..."

Miss Ye Er's tone is too light!
"But you are a stranger and a woman, they will definitely not let you in! If, if, they are rude to you -"

Those rude people must have no scruples if they don’t know Miss Ye Er’s identity!
Ye Chutang's lips curled up slightly: "Don't worry, I won't go today."

Su Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before his relaxed smile stretched, he heard Ye Chutang say again:

"I've been traveling for two days without much rest, so I'll take a nap first. It won't be too late to go when I wake up tomorrow."
