Lin Xiuyan felt anxious for Xu Qianting when she saw Ye Junfei's expression.
This guy is really short-sighted, and he comes to Ye Junfei's door to be tortured. In this life, he will probably be tortured to death by Ye Junfei!
She smiled dryly and said: "We grew up together, so we can only call each other more affectionately. There is no other meaning."
She originally thought that this would resolve the issue, but she didn't expect that Xu Qianting was a master of committing suicide and whispered to Ye Junfei: "I'll tell you a secret."
Ye Junfei looked at this idiot, blinked his eyes and said, "I suspect Yanyan likes me, but she is too embarrassed to say it."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He thought his voice was very quiet, but it was not. She heard him clearly.
Where did he come to this conclusion that she was real?
There was danger in Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes, but he asked very gently: "How do you know?"
Xu Qianting glanced at Lin Xiuyan secretly and said mysteriously: "Not only did she hug me, she also often peeked at me."
"Look, she's peeking at me now!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She looked at him because he was afraid that he would be hacked by Ye Junfei!
If it weren't for the sake of her past life, she would have killed him!
Ye Junfei's eyes moved back and forth between Lin Xiuyan and Xu Qianting twice, and he said with a smile: "That's it, then she does like you."
"You think so too!" Xu Qianting looked like he had met a close friend: "I told my father that Yanyan liked me, and he said that I was daydreaming."
Ye Junfei looked at Xu Qianting with a smile, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Young people must have dreams."
He used 50% of his force in this palm, almost knocking Xu Qianting's internal organs out.
Xu Qianting looked at Ye Junfei in shock and said with admiration: "Xiao Ye is so awesome! This slap is so weighty!"
Lin Xiuyan has lost her sight. She really didn't realize that Xu Qianting was so stupid in her previous life!
Ye Junfei smiled: "There should be times when I can surprise you even more in the future."
He had always pretended to be a playboy in the capital, and was familiar with many of the playboys' tricks. As long as he was willing, he could easily fool Xu Qianting and others.
Coupled with the fact that he looks gentle and gentle, people unconsciously want to get close to him.
Lin Xiuyan sighed at the side, the dandies from Yucheng were completely defeated by the dandies from the capital.
At this moment, the door to the city lord's mansion opened, and Zhou Chenyang and Xu Shoubei walked out together.
Zhou Chenyang's face was very ugly, and he glanced at the dandies in Chongqing with a dark face.
When the dandies saw him, their aura suddenly became much weaker, and the boys no longer dared to scream at the top of their lungs.
Xu Shoubei looked at Zhou Chenyang and said, "They found someone hiding iron pieces in a house in the south of the city."
"Who stored these iron blocks there and where they came from? Please ask the city lord to investigate thoroughly."
Zhou Chenyang said in a cold voice: "This thief is really brave. He actually mined so much iron ore. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Come here, go to the murder scene in the south of the city immediately and check the owner of that house to find out who is mining iron ore regardless of life and death!"
Several officers took the order and left.
Xu Shoubei didn't know that those iron pieces belonged to Zhou Chenyang, but he knew that something was obviously wrong.
He then said: "This matter involves a lot. I'm afraid that the servants in the city lord's palace are not enough. Some of the soldiers I have may be able to come in handy."
Zhou Chenyang was disgusted by Xu Shoubei last time, and this time Xu Shoubei interfered in this matter again, which made him very unhappy.
The two of them had just had a quarrel in the city lord's palace over this matter, and they refused to compromise with each other.
At this time, Xu Shoubei said this in front of so many people, which meant that he was not given any face.
He said coldly: "Does Xu Shoubei not trust me?"
Xu Shoubei had a bad relationship with him last time, and he was not polite to him this time: "It's not that I can't trust the city lord."
"But the mining of iron ore is a big deal. Now that so much iron has been discovered in Yucheng, and the court blames it, you and I will be held accountable."
"A person who has the ability to mine so much iron must have a high status and be very strong."
"Sending more people to investigate this matter will make it safer and more reliable."
Lin Xiuyan said from the side: "Master Xu is right, we need to send more people to investigate!"
"I heard before that there was a city where someone was found to be illegally mining iron ore, and the court held them accountable. Nearly half of the people in that city were beheaded!"
Her words were a bit exaggerated. That city actually killed nearly 3,000 people at that time, which was not even half of the city's population. However, this number was still extremely scary.
Xu Qianting echoed: "That's right, we discovered this matter. If we don't find out clearly, everyone present today will probably die!"
All the dandies started shouting, and for a while the entire city lord's palace was in a quarrel.
Zhou Chenyang's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at Lin Xiuyan coldly.
Lin Xiuyan was not afraid of him and shouted at the top of her lungs: "If the Lord of the City doesn't let Xu Shoubei help with the investigation, then you must be the one mining the iron ore!"
Xu Qianting echoed: "That's right, the city lord must have a guilty conscience!"
All the dandies shouted: "The city lord just has a guilty conscience!"
Ye Junfei opened his fan and fanned himself. He probably understood why Lin Xiuyan called these dandies over.
These people may be a little useless, but the families behind them still have some power.
After Zhou Chenyang arrived in Yucheng, he acted domineeringly and offended the interests of those families. They did not dare to challenge Zhou Chenyang openly, but they dared to disgust him in this way.
After all, with so many families intertwined together, no matter how domineering Zhou Chen is, it is impossible to hold them collectively accountable.
Lin Xiuyan grasped the psychology of these people very accurately and united all the forces she could unite, which is a bit interesting.
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
He felt like he was going to vomit blood because of these things!
Zhou Chenyang could only say with a dark face: "What are you yelling about!"
"I am upright and not afraid of the shadow being distorted. I welcome Xu Shoubei to send someone over to check."
Xu Shoubei smiled and said: "I also believe that the city lord has nothing to do with the iron ore matter."
Zhou Chenyang glanced at Xu Shoubei, smiling, but in his heart he wanted to tear Xu Shoubei apart.
The matter of the iron block could not withstand scrutiny. Although he had sent people to do the finishing work, he was still worried that something had been missed.
This guy named Xu has already ruined his business twice!
Zhou Chenyang had previously issued an order to prohibit the private sale of iron in Chongqing City, and Da Chu also issued an order not to allow anyone to mine iron ore privately.
He himself knew what was going on, but even he did not have the right to privately mine iron ore.
If all the truth is revealed, King Pingnan can hold him accountable.
And once this matter was brought to the emperor, the emperor would not be able to protect him.
So he was very panicked when he first learned about it.
The most terrifying thing is that all the people he sent to guard the iron block were killed, and no one escaped alive. He didn't even know who did it!
