Chapter 125 Assassination
As Ye Ximing said, Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen slept until the next morning.

When the two of them came out of the room, rubbing their heads, Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran were already having breakfast.

After a night, the marks on Ye Ximing's face were no longer visible unless you looked carefully.

Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen didn't pay attention to his face, so they didn't notice anything wrong. After they sat down at the table, Wei Yan picked up the tea on the table and downed it in one gulp. He shook his head and said, "I won't drink so much wine again." ”

Ye Ximing said coldly: "You really shouldn't drink so much in the future. The quality of the wine is so bad, it's embarrassing!"

Wei Yan is the kind of person who keeps having sex when he's drunk. He remembers exactly what he did when he was drunk yesterday. After hearing Ye Ximing's words, he looked like he wanted to die and wailed: "Please don't mention it."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Come and have breakfast quickly. You two didn't eat anything last night. You must be hungry, right?"

Wei Yan immediately became energetic, "That's right, I'm so hungry that I could swallow a cow."

After several people finished breakfast, they went out together and went to the gambling house to collect their money.

They had agreed yesterday that after receiving the money today, they would return to Nanxing County tomorrow.

The gambling house was still as noisy as before.

The steward at the gambling house still remembered Zhou Ran. As soon as Zhou Ran entered, the steward smiled and asked Zhou Ran: "Madam, are you here to collect the money?"

Zhou Ran nodded, took out the token given by the gambling house and handed it to the steward. The steward took the token and turned around and asked someone to get 40,000 taels of silver notes.

When the steward handed a thick stack of silver notes to Zhou Ran, he smiled and said, "Madam, you've made a lot of money this time."

Zhou Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't your gambling house make less money this time?"

There were so many bets that the other three would win the Jie Yuan, but in the end it was Ye Ximing who won the Jie Yuan. Isn't it the gambling house that makes the most money?

When the steward heard this, he smiled and handed over to Ye Ximing, "It's all thanks to Ye Jieyuan."

Ye Ximing said calmly: "The steward was joking and has nothing to do with Ye."

While they were talking, Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen had already received their money. They had no intention of staying in the gambling house for a long time and left the gambling house immediately.

Watching Ye Ximing and others leaving the casino, a man with a gloomy face walked out from behind the steward.

"Steward, are you going to let them leave like this?"

The steward sighed and said: "That's it, let them go. After all, we have made a lot of money this time thanks to Ye Jieyuan."

Although forty thousand taels of silver was a lot of money, it was nothing compared to what they earned this time.

"It's an advantage for them." The gloomy man said unwillingly.

After returning home, Zhou Ran looked at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand and sighed: "No wonder so many people like gambling. Money comes in quickly."

She worked hard at embroidery but could not earn more than 40,000 yuan a year, but she got it just by walking around the gambling house.

After Ye Ximing heard Zhou Ran's words, he shook his head and said: "In gambling, you always lose more and win less. For example, in this game, although you and Wei Yan won the bet, most of them lost. , maybe someone will sell his son or daughter because of this gambling game." Zhou Ran couldn't help laughing as she watched Ye Ximing pour cold water on her, "Mr., don't worry, I'm very aware of the dangers of gambling. I will definitely not become addicted to gambling because of this incident.”

As the saying goes, nine times out of ten you will lose when you bet. If you don't bet, you will win. If it weren't for Ye Ximing in this bet, she would never have made the bet.

Ye Ximing believed in Zhou Ran. He was just worried that Zhou Ran would be excited by the victory, but seeing that Zhou Ran remained calm, he said no more.

At noon, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing were packing their luggage when Boss Qian came to the door with gifts.

After being welcomed in, Qian Dongjia cupped his hands and said to Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing: "I was supposed to come to congratulate Madam Zhou and Ye Juren yesterday, but I thought you might be busy yesterday, so I had to come over today. I hope Mrs. Zhou and Ye Ju will not be surprised."

Zhou Ran said with a smile: "Dr. Qian is very considerate, so how can we blame you?"

After Zhou Ran and Qian Dong's family exchanged some polite words, Qian Dong's family proposed to entertain Zhou Ran and the others. Zhou Ran refused and said, "We have already decided to return to Nanxing County tomorrow, so we won't disturb Qian Dong's family."

After hearing Zhou Ran's words, Boss Qian didn't force himself any further. After sitting for a while, he wisely left.

The next day, Zhou Ran and the others set off from Fucheng early in the morning.

By almost noon, they were far away from Fucheng. When the carriage passed through a forest, seven or eight gangsters with long knives suddenly rushed out of the woods.

At first, Ye Ximing and others thought that these people were trying to steal money from the road, and they thought about whether they could negotiate with them, but these people had no intention of negotiating with them, and they rushed out and took action without saying a word.

Although there were quite a few in their group, they were either women, children or scholars. Logically speaking, they could not be the opponents of this group of people. However, Zhao Wu's skills were beyond everyone's expectations. He blocked almost all the enemies by himself. Gangster.

Two quarters of an hour later, seven or eight gangsters fell to pieces, and Ye Ximing and Wei Yan tied them all up with ropes.

Zhao Wu was injured. Zhou Ran took out the medicine and asked Awang to help Zhao Wu apply the medicine. Then she got off the carriage and walked to Ye Ximing. She looked at the gangster at his feet and said, "They don't seem to be mountain bandits." , more like someone coming to kill us.”

Ye Ximing looked at the gangsters on the ground with heavy eyes. He thought so too, and he had a vague guess in his heart that these people should be coming for him.

"What should we do now? Should we send them to the official?" Wei Yan asked aloud.

Ye Ximing nodded and said: "Let's go back to Fucheng and send the person to the government office."

They are quite far away from Fucheng now. If they wait here for someone to report to the government office, they may not be able to come back until dark. It is better for them to send the person to the government office directly.

They have a total of four carriages, and they can fit this group of gangsters in a squeeze.

In this way, they returned to Fucheng.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Fucheng, Ye Ximing and the others were stopped by the guards of Fucheng because of the group of gangsters piled up on their carriage.

After hearing Ye Ximing's explanation and knowing that they were going to send these gangsters to the government, the guards sent a person to follow them to the government office.

Ye Ximing and the others were newly promoted, and they brought a group of captured gangsters to see the prefect. The prefect met them soon.

After asking about the ins and outs of the matter, the prefect asked Ye Ximing and the others to go back and wait for the incident to be resolved, while the gangsters were directly thrown into prison.

The compound they lived in before had not yet expired, and they did not need to stay at the inn, but went back to the compound directly.
