"Sister-in-law, something terrible has happened!"
Su Xiaorong initially thought it was Ye Ming returning after hearing the rapid knocks on the door.
Just as she was about to open it, she heard Liu Qiang's voice.
"Brother Qiang, what's wrong? Is my husband back?"
Liu Qiang was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Brother Ming went to Wang Da Jiao's house with the county magistrate. Maybe he's in trouble. You should go check it out!"
Su Xiaorong's heart instantly sank upon hearing that Ye Ming was in trouble. The anxiety in her eyes was almost overflowing.
"Brother Qiang, what on earth has my husband gotten into? Didn't you go to the county town together to sell things today?"
"I don't know. After we sold our game, I went to buy medicine to preserve the pregnancy."
"I thought Brother Ming would be back a long time ago, but just now I saw the county magistrate taking Brother Ming to Wang Da Jiao's house."
"Oh, let's not just stand there. Let's go check it out!"
With that, the two hurried to Wang Da Jiao's house.
...
Outside Wang Da Jiao's yard...
"Sir, we're here. This is the residence of my adoptive mother, Wang Da Jiao."
Sun Haoyu nodded slightly.
"Go and ask her to open the door."
"Yes, sir."
Ye Ming knocked on the gate.
"Wang Da Jiao, open the door!"
Wang Da Jiao, knowing she couldn't escape this, forced a smile and opened the door.
As expected, the moment she opened the door, she saw Ye Ming standing with several people in official uniforms.
Especially the moment she saw Ye Ming, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
"Hahaha, I wonder what you gentlemen want to see me for?"
Sun Haoyu sneered.
"You should know why I'm looking for you."
Wang Da Jiao had no idea what Ye Ming had done wrong and was completely confused.
"Your Excellency, I have always been a law-abiding person and a good person. I really don't know what I have done wrong."
"Ye Ming, tell me what she did wrong."
Wang Da Jiao interrupted Ye Ming before he could even speak.
"Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. I have nothing to do with that little bastard, and we're not even biological mother and son. I just picked him up. If he's done anything wrong, just arrest him!"
Seriously? I haven't even asked anything, and you've already confessed everything?
Hearing is better than seeing it in person. Although Ye Ming had just heard about Wang Da Jiao's deeds on the road, seeing it with his own eyes was still incredible.
Raising cattle can develop feelings, especially after raising a human for almost twenty years.
How could this village woman be so selfish?
But it saved me the trouble of going through the motions.
"What about Ye Ming's household registration?"
"Sir, I'll expel Ye Ming from my family's household registration right now!"
Sun Haoyu was even amused by Wang Da Jiao's behavior.
"Are you so sure I've done something wrong?"
"Others don't know, but I know you? Your idiocy hasn't fully healed yet. You must have killed someone and are trying to take me down with you."
Ye Ming was shocked. This old woman's guess was spot on.
"Yes, I did kill people. Six in fact."
Upon hearing Ye Ming's confession, Wang Dajiao immediately seized the opportunity and began to bite.
"Hey, sir, you heard it, it was Ye Ming who did the killings, it had nothing to do with me. Sir, please be more discerning. I was completely unaware of this little beast's murders!"
The smile on Sun Haoyu's face hadn't faded from the beginning.
"So, what about Ye Ming's household registration?"
"Your Excellency, Ye Ming is not a member of my family. He should be kicked out of my household."
Sun Haoyu glanced at the clerk beside him.
"Old Zhang, you heard it? Expel Ye Ming from Wang Dajiao's household in the Qingshi Village household registration."
"Yes, sir."
With that, the yamen runner Zhang took out a brush, placed it in his mouth, and moistened it with saliva.
He then crossed Ye Ming's name off from Wang Dajiao's household.
"By the way, sir, I still don't know where Brother Ye lives?"
"Ye Ming, where do you live now? Do you have your own house?"
Ye Ming quickly answered Sun Haoyu's question.
"Your Excellency, I am currently staying at the home of Hunter Wu in the back mountain. I don't have my own yard."
"Your Excellency, Hunter Wu is a family that has died out. The house belongs to the government office..."
Sun Haoyu waved his hand. "Just write it down here. "
Yamen runner Zhang nodded. "It's changed, Your Excellency."
"If County Magistrate Qian asks you about the changes to your household registration, just say I did it. You must remember it clearly."
As they were working, they heard a woman crying not far away.
Ye Ming turned around and saw Su Xiaorong and Liu Qiang.
"Husband!"
Ye Ming was puzzled. He didn't understand why Su Xiaorong and Liu Qiang were here. Before Ye Ming could react, Su Xiaorong and Liu Qiang knelt in front of Sun Haoyu.
"My Lord, my husband is a good man. Please make sure you investigate carefully and don't wrongly accuse him. If my husband has really committed a crime, let me be punished for him."
"Yes, my Lord, although Brother Ming is a little silly, he is really a good man. Please make sure you investigate carefully!"
Sun Haoyu was confused by what the two said. He pointed at the two of them.
"Who are these two?"
"My Lord, this is my wife, Su Xiaorong, and this is Liu Qiang, the son of Muramasa."
The few people who reacted also knew that Su Xiaorong and Liu Qiang had misunderstood and thought that Ye Ming had committed a crime.
"Hahaha, Ye Ming, you have a good wife and brother."
"Don't worry, Ye Ming did not commit a crime. On the contrary, he has made a contribution."
Su Xiaorong and Liu Qiang obviously hadn't reacted yet.
Ye Ming had no choice but to help them up, and then briefly explained the source and context of the matter.
"Husband, you really saved an important person, that princess!"
"Really? If you don't believe me, just listen to what the county magistrate says."
Seeing that the two were still a little unconvinced, Sun Haoyu said to Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming, you helped me a lot this time by saving Princess Anyang. I'll give you this house of Hunter Wu."
"Now that the household registration has been completed, I have to go back to handle government affairs if there's nothing else."
"If you have time another day, come to my house, and I'll thank you again."
After saying that, several people jumped on their horses, which made Wang Dajiao confused.
"Sir, didn't you say Ye Ming killed someone? Are you going to put him on trial?"
"Hahaha, Ye Ming did kill someone, but he just killed a few bandits and saved Princess Anyang. That's a great achievement."
"Impossible, how could Ye Ming save Princess Anyang, sir, don't be fooled by him!"
Ye Qingshan, who was hiding in the yard, jumped out immediately after hearing that Ye Ming had done a meritorious service.
A flash of sudden realization crossed Wang Dajiao's face.
"Yes, sir, I have raised Ye Ming for nearly twenty years. In addition to his brute force, I also know his weight. Let alone killing bandits and saving people, he has never even seen a chicken being killed."
"What's more, fighting figures like the princess live in the capital. How could she come here and be saved by Ye Ming? Don't be fooled by him, sir."
