Chapter 26 A Great Achievement(1/2)
In the Ye family mansion, there was a sound of cups falling to the floor.
Several heirs of the Ye family, except Ye Huangyu, even Ye Huangshu, who guarded the martial arts pavilion, were called over.
Something big happened to the Ye family today.
The head of the Ye family, Ye Gutie, had a green face and an angry look on his face.
Ye Sheng knelt on the ground dejectedly. Everyone in Ye's family room had trembling faces.
Something like that happened in the Ye family's stone workshop. Ye Sheng also knew that he could not hide it, so he hurriedly returned home and apologized.
"Father, I don't blame Ye Sheng entirely for this matter. I have also seen those fake black iron ores, but they are a bit strange." Ye Huangcheng also rushed back from the mine after learning the news.
He had seen the ores in the stone workshop, and even he, who had been in and out of the mines for more than twenty years, could not tell whether they were real or fake.
Those are ordinary mountain rocks, but I don't know what method was used to create a layer of dark iron half an inch deep on the surface of each piece of ore.
If it were him today, I'd be afraid that he would be deceived, let alone Ye Sheng.
"The businessman surnamed Chen took a highly toxic poison, and the source cannot be found. There must be someone behind the scenes to handle this matter cleanly. This kid is really confused and almost led to a big mistake." Ye Huangyun also hates iron.
Gangdi glared at Ye Sheng.
This boy really failed to live up to expectations. Originally, he had planned to let that boy be responsible for transporting ore into the city next time. If he caused trouble this time, Ye Sheng would have to be punished by family rules and be locked up for a month.
Regarding the ore matter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is secretly framing the Ye family. In the entire Qiu Feng Town, the only ones who would do such a thing are the Song family.
Unfortunately, the only witness had committed suicide by taking poison. The people sent out to investigate only found out that the man was a rogue from a neighboring town, and the clues were lost.
It is unfounded and baseless, and it is difficult for the Ye family to settle accounts with the Song family, so they can only suffer a dumb loss.
"What a blessing among misfortunes, thanks to girl Lingyue's cleverness, otherwise the loss this time would have been huge." Ye Huangshu stood aside and said for Ye Lingyue.
The biggest hero in this incident, Ye Lingyue, stood aside.
Except for saying a few words when they were in Shifang, Ye Lingyue has been quietly waiting aside since then, which makes Ye Gu very satisfied.
He has already heard that today is Ye Lingyue's first visit to Shifang.
This little girl is also the lucky general of the Ye family. If it weren't for her, the Ye family would have lost at least five thousand taels of gold. This is the Ye family's profit in just half a year.
"Ling Yue, even your cousin Ye Sheng didn't find out, how did you find out which batch of ore was defective?" Seeing that Ye Lingyue had been silent, Ye Gu only said that she was frightened by what happened earlier.
The voice couldn't help but slow down a bit, and it sounded a bit kind.
"Master, I hit it by mistake. How can I compare to my eldest cousin? I just thought that the businessman's expression was not right, so I deliberately tested it. I didn't know that I hit the right mark." Ye Lingyue was embarrassed.
He scratched his head, his smile was very cute, and he looked like he had no intentions.
Could it be that this girl is really just lucky?
Ye Gu was confused, but then he thought again, Ye Lingyue had never seen the black iron stone before going to Shifang, so how could she tell the real thing from the fake one.
Regardless, it might just be a coincidence. Girls, when it comes to observation, are always a bit more delicate than men like Ye Sheng.
"Anyway, you have made a great contribution this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Ye Gu has clear rewards and punishments. Ye Sheng made a big mistake and was punished with a month of confinement. Ye Lingyue, who has made great contributions, should be treated as
reward.
Upon hearing that Ye Gu was going to reward Ye Lingyue, Ye Huangyun and Ye Huangshu couldn't help but become nervous.
Ye Lingyue's rise in the Ye family has been too fast these days. If this continues, she may become the second Ye Huangyu.
If she dared to mention any inappropriate thoughts, Ye Huangcheng would give Ye Lingyue a cold look.
"Master, if possible, I would like to help sort and cut the ore in the stone workshop in the future." Ye Lingyue's answer made everyone in the Ye family look surprised.
What kind of reward is cutting and sorting ore?
Shouldn't the reward be some real money or silver, martial arts, weapons or the like?
Which young master or young lady of the Ye family is willing to do these menial jobs in Shifang? It is hard work. Ye Lingyue is really stupid to offer such a reward.
"Of course it's possible. You go to your uncle to get a token, and you can freely enter and leave the stone workshop from now on." Ye Gu didn't expect that Ye Lingyue would want such a reward, so he agreed casually.
When Ye Lingyue walked out of the hall, Ye Sheng came forward with a look of shame on his face.
"Ling Yue, I really want to thank you so much this time." Ye Sheng still disliked Ye Lingyue a little earlier, but today she accidentally "helped" him a big favor, and just now she tried her best in front of the head of the house.
After safeguarding himself, Ye Sheng's favorable impression of Ye Lingyue skyrocketed, and his attitude became much more friendly.
"You're welcome, cousin. We are all members of our family, so why bother saying thank you?" Ye Lingyue looked flattered.
"If anything happens in the future, or if anyone dares to bully you, just talk to your elder cousin." Seeing Ye Lingyue's respectful look, Ye Sheng was very helpful. He patted Ye Lingyue's shoulder carelessly.
Just left.
At the same time, Qiu Feng came to the Song family.
"What, what did you do if the plan failed?" Song Wanshi, the head of the Song family, punched and shattered the red sandalwood table in front of him, and the finely crafted white porcelain cup on the table was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, the cup stopped in mid-air, moved strangely in the air, and landed firmly on a pair of hands. Not a drop of water in the cup spilled out.
The owner of those hands is a young man with yellow complexion.
The man's facial features were barely decent, but his eyes, which seemed overly indulgent at first glance, made him look a bit evil.
"Master Lian, I made you laugh." Then the head of the Song family remembered that there was this distinguished guest at home.
In Qiu Feng Town, the head of the Song family, who is on an equal footing with the head of the Ye family, Ye Gu, is as docile as a kitten in front of this young man who looks to be no more than twenty-five or six years old. I don’t know who this young man is.
What's the origin?
"It's okay to use people's money to eliminate disasters. Since I agreed to you, I will help you get rid of the Ye family. If the plan doesn't succeed this time, there will be another time." After that, the young man known as Master Lian showed a hint of smile.
A smile that is sure to win.
"That means, with you here, the Ye family doesn't matter. In more than a month, it will be Ye Gu's fifty-fifth birthday. By then, we will have to trouble Master Lian to take action twice." The head of the Song family
When I think that the Ye family is about to be destroyed and the Song family is the only one, I feel indescribable joy in my heart.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes. There was a sound of cups falling to the floor in the Ye family mansion.
Several heirs of the Ye family, except Ye Huangyu, even Ye Huangshu, who guarded the martial arts pavilion, were called over.
