After being thrown to the ground, Ye Lu knelt there directly.
The extremely oppressive breath was right above his head, making him breathless.
Her eyes were dull, and she looked like a blind person.
Although her eyes were very bright, she didn't seem to have any disease at all.
On the big red sandalwood chair, Shen Tuyi sat there with a cold expression.
The slanted eyebrows go into the temples, but a pair of phoenix eyes are full of cold color, but they are as calm as clear water.
Just as Ye Lu had judged, no matter the corners of his eyes or the tips of his brows, it was written that he would not eat anything soft or hard if he did not eat oil or salt.
Next to him, Mr.
Na Ji stood there, looking at Ye Lu kneeling on the ground, with a slight smile on his face.
"What do you know about Lin Changbo's business?"
Suddenly, Shen Tuyi opened his mouth, and the warm bass sounded pleasant, but coming out of his thin lips, it sounded inexplicably scary.
Ye Lu couldn't help but straighten her back.
In fact, she had been thinking about how to answer this question just now.
It seemed that she was bound to say something today, otherwise, not only would she not be able to get out of this trap, but she might even get beaten.
Her small body cannot withstand the critical blows of those black-armored soldiers.
She will die.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Lu slowly spoke, and the red lips lost their color.
"Mr.
Lin, he sells private salt."
In addition to tax evasion, Ye Lu doesn't know what else is involved in doing business to provoke the city lord to come.
Only selling illicit salt has been a serious crime in any country from ancient times to the present.
Shen Tuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, just that expression and movement made people uneasy.
"Private salt" he repeated, although his tone was still cold, but somehow, Ye Lu felt that he had made the right move.
The smile on Mr.
Ji's face became even bigger, "Can Miss Ye take responsibility for what she said?
Even if she goes to court, she will not change her words and still testify against Lin Changbo."
Nodding, Ye Lu had no choice.
She could only escape this disaster by testifying against Lin Changbo and following Shen Tuyi's wishes.
"Very good.
Someone, please send Miss Ye to her room to rest, provide her with food, and serve her well."
Mr.
Ji looked at Shen Tuyi and then raised his voice to give instructions.
Outside the door, the black-armored soldier walked in.
This time he did not pick up Ye Lu roughly, but lifted her up very gently.
With dull eyes, Ye Lu looked at Shen Tuyi when he stood up.
He was also looking at her, and there was a hint of satisfaction on his cold face.
She guessed correctly, that's it, Shen Tuyi's target was Lin Changbo.
In this entire mansion, except for Lin Changbo's housekeepers and the fortune tellers he raised, the remaining servants, maids, wives, and concubines are of little use.
Testifying against Lin Changbo, although her testimony may not be serious, it can drive another nail into Lin Changbo's face, making him unable to break free.
Being taken away, Ye Lu sighed silently.
This disaster was avoided.
Instead of being thrown into the woodshed again, Ye Lu was sent directly to a room in the east chamber.
Within a moment, Mai Tang was also sent and reunited again.
Mai Tang looked at the intact Ye Lu and let out a long sigh.
"Thank God, how did you fool me?"

The two of them had no idea what Lin Changbo's business was, and they didn't know what Ye Lu was talking about.
"What else can I say?
Just make it up and pick out what people want to hear."
Fortunately, she has good eyesight and a quick mind.
She roughly guessed Shen Tuyi's purpose and prescribed the right medicine.
Mai Tang looked at her and nodded silently, "So, we are safe."
"Well, I'll go to the court to testify then, and I guess everything will be fine."
She agreed with Shen Tuyi, and she cooperated, so he probably wouldn't embarrass them anymore.
"It's true."
Mai Tang was still worried.
What they had done was perjury, so they were not let go easily.
Rolling his eyes, Ye Lu looked around the room.
Whether it was the landscape calligraphy on the wall or the decorations on the table, they were all valuable.
"Don't worry about it, just take it one step at a time.
Anyway, you can rest assured that I'm here.
Mai Tang, look, there are so many valuable things in this room.
If we take away one or two, no one will do it."
"Discover" picked up an exquisite glass cup, and Ye Lu wanted to keep it for himself.
"You should calm down.
We finally escaped from the woodshed.
If we are arrested for stealing again, I think we will go directly to the cell."
Mai Tang took the glass cup from Ye Lu's hand and put it back.
I think it's better to be careful now.
Feeling reluctant to give up, Ye Lu was unwilling to give up.
He was locked up in the firewood shed for no reason and was threatened.
He couldn't survive without some mental comfort money.
"I feel a little uncomfortable with testifying against Mr.
Lin."
Although Mai Tang doesn't like Lin Changbo, his harsh words make his conscience uneasy.
"What is more important, conscience or life?
In this world, nothing is more valuable than my life.
Don't ask me to lie.
Even if I can kill someone to save my own life, I will do it."
Ye Lu shook his head lightly.
A short life is hard-won in this life, and she attaches great importance to her own life.
Mai Tang remained silent, but Ye Lu was right.
The most important thing in the world was his own life.
After a while, someone came in from outside.
Ye Lu's eyes immediately went blank and he became blind in an instant.
The person who came was a black-armored soldier, and he was here to deliver food.
Mr.
Ji was indeed not just bragging, and the food he delivered was indeed good.
Four dishes, one soup and good white rice, the aroma is amazing.
Mai Tang was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect it to be so rich.

It was incomparable to the steamed buns last night.
The black-armored soldiers put the food away and then left.
Even if they could see through the armor, they were doing this kind of thing openly and without any reluctance.
Walking to the table, Ye Lu took a deep breath, "Look, it's just a lie.
You don't have to be locked in a dark room to eat steamed buns.
Isn't it a good deal?"
Don't call her selfish.
The so-called people who don't care for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
The trace of regret in Mai Tang's heart disappeared instantly.
Compared with herself, everything else was just a cloud.
After eating and drinking, Ye Lu began to think about hiding some small and valuable things in the room.
Mai Tang still felt uncomfortable staring at her, but she didn't listen at all.
As the sun sets, Ye Lu and Mai Tang prepare to take a rest.
It looks like they will have a good sleep today.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected guest suddenly came.
Ye Lu immediately emptied his eyes, but quickly gathered his clothes with his hands.
Maitang looked at Mr.
Ji who walked in with alert eyes, and moved in front of Ye Lu to block her.
Mr.
Ji still had the smile in his eyes.
Looking at the alert Mai Tang and the absent-minded Ye Lu, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Miss Ye, I heard that your grandfather is Mr.
Ye Xun."
"That's right."
Nodding slightly, Ye Lu was confused.
Although his grandfather was still somewhat famous in the industry, he didn't seem to be so miraculous that everyone knew him, especially when the person in front of him was someone close to the city lord.
"I don't know if Mr.
Ye Xun has any other disciples besides Miss Ye."
Mr.
Ji put down his hand and continued gently.
Ye Lu didn't like hearing these words so much, "I just want my grandpa's true message.
I don't know what your husband wants to ask
