Chapter 910 - 911: The Look in His Eyes Could Freeze Someone to Death_1
"I don’t want to!" Yang Chuxia was willful, "I want to go with you to Mianyang, I want to go with you this time!"
"Xiaxia!"
Ye Zi’an sighed, originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing her refuse to discuss the matter, he temporarily gave up the topic, thinking there was still more than a month’s time, he would slowly persuade her then.
"Right, do you still remember the Li Family?" Ye Zi’an changed the subject.
"The Li Family? The one that was exterminated?" Yang Chuxia was indeed diverted by his change of topic.
Ye Zi’an nodded, "Yes, several of the Li Family’s masters were sentenced to execution, and the women and younger ones were all banished."
"Humph, they gouged out so many people’s eyes, execution is letting them off lightly. Fortunately, Mu Shaoling didn’t go easy this time, or else I would have despised him," Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "He was almost kidnapped."
"What exactly happened?" Ye Zi’an asked, as he had only heard that the Li Family had been raided when he was in the Capital City, but the specific reasons had not been revealed.
Plus, he was preoccupied with his examinations at the time and didn’t pay much attention to it.
After the examination was over, when he occasionally heard people discussing the possibility that the Li Family’s raid was related to the Mu Family, he found time to ask Mu Shaoling, but each time Mu Shaoling evaded the question. After asking twice and getting no answer, he thought it was something to do with the Mu Family’s secret and didn’t inquire further.
Now it seemed that his wife actually knew the reason.
"You don’t know?" Yang Chuxia looked at him in surprise.
Seeing him shake his head, Yang Chuxia sighed, Old Mu and the others really kept it well hidden.
So Yang Chuxia recounted the whole story to him, and when Ye Zi’an heard about the Yang Family being attacked, someone attempting to kidnap Mu Shaoling, so many of the Yang Family’s servants dying, and these events possibly being orchestrated by Ye Ziping, his hands were clenched so tightly they creaked, and his gaze could have frozen someone to death.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia quickly peeled open his hand and helped massage it, "Are you silly? After all, they didn’t succeed. The Li Family has been destroyed too, and Ye Ziping will show up eventually."
"He has probably already appeared and is currently in Quanya County. Not only that, but I suspect he’s in league with those thieves too."
"What? What’s going on now?" Yang Chuxia was puzzled. Could it be that Ye Ziping and Brother An were really at odds? Why did Brother An always catch sight of him every time he appeared?
Ye Zi’an said, "I saw someone outside the county town who should be him, and I had Ye Yi go after him. Ye Yi and the others are bodyguards given to me by my uncle."
Ye Zi’an then talked about the stolen horses and how thieves were rampant in the county town.
"No wonder I’ve been hearing people say they always lose money when they go to town lately." It seemed that last time Old Aunt-in-law Gen went to town, her purse was stolen, and Yang Chuxia hadn’t really noticed it until now.
"I heard the innkeeper say that a lot of people have had things stolen, whether they’re on the street or staying in inns, just about everyone gets robbed. There must be quite a gang of them," Ye Zi’an thought.
He wondered if the County Magistrate Shen had taken this gang seriously at all.
"There’s no rush, we can talk about this slowly when we get back. Since he’s in Quanya County, I have a way that should be able to flush him out," Yang Chuxia said, pulling him along.
"Hmm, Ye Yi will probably have some other news when he comes back. We’ll discuss it properly later."

The monster hasn’t lived in the Evil River for a long time. Since Yang Chuxia told it to move, it has been roaming around.
Over the years, it changed several locations, and it’s now in a hollow near a small beach.
"We haven’t come here in so long, I don’t know if it’s still here."
