Retrograde

Chapter 19 Last Hope

After leaving the mine, Ye Hao went straight back to his governor's mansion. His brother was taken, so he naturally couldn't sit idly by. As a side branch of the Ye family, he is thin. In his two brothers' generation, he has nothing to do now. He has put his hopes on his brother Ye Tao. Naturally, he will not be convicted in this way.

So Ye Hao has made up his mind on the way back that he must save his brother's life no matter how many means he uses, and he also believes that he can save a person with his official position as the governor of Yunzhou. However, he was already confused about how to operate it, but he couldn't think of a clue for a moment, so he had to go back to discuss with his confidant's staff Nie Mi first.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Ye Hao threw the horse to the welcoming man, then quickly entered the study and ordered the housekeeper, "Go, invite Mr. Nie to me, and say that I have something important to discuss with him!"

The housekeeper was embarrassed when he heard the words: "Master, Mr. Nie went out early this morning and hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid..."

"What? He is not in the house? Then send someone to look for me quickly, and you must quickly find Mr. Nie!" Ye Hao hurriedly ordered. Seeing that Ye Hao looked very ugly and didn't dare to ask more, the housekeeper hurriedly went out to look for him, while Ye Hao walked around the room uneasily, waiting for this trusted staff to come back.

But until after dark, Nie Mi didn't come back, which made Ye Hao even more uneasy: "What's going on? How can you find such a living person in Yunzhou City? What on earth did you do? With a tiger's face, Ye Hao roared at the families.

Those Ye family are silent and dare not make a sound, because they already know why Ye Hao is so angry. In just half a day, what happened in the mine spread throughout the city like wings. Ye Tao was taken, and Ye Hao was also rumored to be insurable, so that these familymen of the Ye family could imagine the anger of their masters. Of course, they did not dare to touch his mold at this time.

Looking at these trembling servants, Ye Hao was even more angry: "What can't you do here? Don't continue to go out to look for him. If you can't find him, you don't have to come back!"

"Yes!" After responding, everyone dispersed as birds and beasts. Only the old housekeeper who had been in the Ye family for the longest time stood there and stopped talking, as if he was very hesitant. This expression fell into Ye Hao's eyes. He forced himself and said angrily, "Zhong uncle, do you have anything to report to me?"

After hesitating for a moment, the housekeeper Zhongbo said, "Sir, there is one thing that I don't know what should be said... Now there has been something happened to the city about the master and the second master in the mine. If Nie Mi hears any rumor from it, will he not return to avoid being implicated? Maybe he has left Yunzhou City now, so no matter how we look for him, it is impossible to find him..."

Ye Hao was stunned when he heard the words, and then his anger surged up, but in a blink of an eye, his anger dissipated, and then he sat heavily on the chair and couldn't speak for a long time. The loyal housekeeper said what he was most worried about. He was afraid that Nie Mi had left after knowing that he could not do anything. It was only because he refused to accept such a reality that he deliberately avoided it. But now that the words have been made clear, Ye Hao finally dispelled with the idea of bullying, and the rest is just powerless.

Although Ye Hao has been telling himself that there is room for redemption on the way back. Not only will he have nothing to do, but even his second brother can keep it, in fact, this is just self-deception. He knew very well that the court attached great importance to the mine. Once there was such a big case of corruption, the court would definitely investigate it strictly. Coupled with the attempted "Assassination" incident, his brother must be irresponsible.

Wang Chong and Liu Mo also have certain power in the court. Now they have evidence in hand, and it is not difficult to get rid of themselves. Ye Hao originally expected to discuss a proper solution with Nie Mi, but now it seems that everything can no longer be done. What else can he do now besides waiting for the decision of the court?

Of course, it's not that he can't really do anything. Now Ye Hao is still the governor of Yunzhou, and he still has real power in his hand. He can lead troops to kill these enemies and save his brother, but it will only make his death worse. So at this moment, Ye Hao felt that he had no way out.

After a long time, Ye Hao whispered, "The second brother acted too recklessly and casually, which led to today's disaster. I have always been too tolerant of him, so that he can't really grow up. Everything is to blame himself!" After muttering a few words of self-reproach, he thought of the cause and effect of the incident, and then said in a resentful voice, "I didn't expect that I, Ye Haotang, the military and horse governor of Yunzhou, would be broken because of a mining slave. I regret that I should have been desperate to except him at the beginning!"

Of course, the mining slave he mentioned is Xu Jinghong. He knows that he will be implicated in the gold case of the mine, and he doesn't know how he will be punished by the court. At this moment, his hatred for Xu Jinghong has reached an irreplaceable level, but he can't help it, because the dominance of the mine is no longer his. I have it.

After being so regretful and stunned for a long time, Ye Hao said to the housekeeper who had been standing by his side, "Go down. I want to be alone and don't let anyone disturb me!"

After a period of hesitation, the loyal housekeeper couldn't help saying, "Sir, in fact, things are not as serious as you think. We still have a solution, and even the second master can keep it.

"Hmm?" Ye Hao was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't know what he meant. He just stared at him with inquiring eyes.

"Master, don't forget who is the backer behind our Ye family. The Ye family in the capital has not benefited from this mine, and you are the only one in the army now. They will never see you lose your current military power or even be imprisoned.

As the saying goes, the bystander Qing, because Ye Hao has always been smooth, he suddenly encountered a blow and didn't know what to do. He even forgot that he still had a very solid backer to help, and only thought about how to save it by his own strength. On the contrary, Zhongbo thought of his unexpected help and pointed out the most critical point.

"Yes, I still have a way out now! Most of the gold and silver in this mine are sent to the Ye family in the capital. Even if they are not for our brothers, they will not help me just for their own sake!" Ye Hao was suddenly refreshed and immediately said, "Grind the ink for me quickly. I want to write to the Ye family in the capital for help. Now they are the only ones who can protect our brothers!"

Soon, a letter was written. After sealing the letter, Ye Hao handed it to Zhongbo's hand, and then took off the bronze medal at his waist and said, "Zhongbo, take this letter to the post station in person and let them use my token to expedite this at an urgent speed of 800 miles. Send the letter, be sure to send it to Ye's house within three days.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do it well!" Zhongbo quickly took the letter and turned around and left the study. Looking at his hurried back, Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned softly on the back of the chair without any strength. It's not that his body can't stand it, but that his heart is tired. There are too many things that have happened today. His heart can't stand the ups and downs. Now at least there is hope. The feeling of fatigue comes like a mountain that he doesn't even want to move a finger.

The master's anger made the servants of the house dare not make any sound, and the governor's office seemed so silent this night, so bleak...

On the contrary, it was in the courtyard of the Liu family, which had been very quiet in the past, but now there was a lot of laughter. Those servants of the Liu family also knew about the bad luck of the Ye family as early as the day. Of course, everyone was happy to see that the Ye family, which had been suppressing their master, finally had a big trouble.

What makes these family members happier is that Liu Mo asked the kitchen to prepare rich dishes for all the family members after he came back. Although he did not say what it was for, it had already reflected his excitement.

Now in the side hall of the Liu family, there are still two tables of wine and dishes. Liu Mo is talking to a man in blue, but there is no one to serve him in this side hall, so no one can see Liu Mo's smiling face and the face of another person.

If Ye Hao saw the face of this man in blue, he would be shocked, because this person looks exactly the same as him except that he looks a little younger than Nie Mi. At this time, Liu Mo was holding a wine glass and saying to the man in blue, "This time, you can easily bring down the Ye Hao brothers. Brother, you have really made great contributions. As a brother, I would like to give you a toast."

"Nemi" smiled and drank all the wine in the glass and said, "Presumably he would never have dreamed that the staff he regarded as his confidant would be Liu Mo's brother, who had always been regarded as a great enemy and suppressed by him. And I don't think he can know this secret in his life.

"I'm really ashamed to ask my brother to be someone's staff. If it weren't for my incompetence, why would the eldest brother have to do such a thing? Liu Mo said with emotion.

"Why did you say this? You are already the most promising son of the Liu family in Hedong in a hundred years. What is it that I, Liu Mi, have made such a small sacrifice for the revitalization of the family?" Liu Mi, a man in blue, waved his hand and said.
