"No!" Ye Yi shook his head, his voice sowhat low.
Honestly, apart from Prince Le, these two people were the first to make him feel defeated; after searching for three days, there was not a single clue.
And this was while Tumi County was under martial law everywhere.
"Could it be that they have already left Tumi County?"
"Logically, they shouldn’t be able to, considering how closely we’re pursuing them."
"It’s hard to say!"
Just then, a guard ca in holding a letter, "Lord Marquis, a letter from the prefecture."
For so reason, Ye Zi’an felt a bad premonition in his heart, and when he saw the contents of the letter, his premonition ca true.
"Capture these two people, I want to personally execute them."
Seeing Ye Zi’an gritting his teeth, Ye Yi also had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Lord Marquis?"
"That Cui has returned to the prefecture and captured Lele."
"What?" Ye Yi was shocked and quickly knelt down, "Lord Marquis, I deserve to die, I was careless!"
"We’ll discuss your issue later. For now, we return to the prefecture." Ye Zi’an’s eyes were filled with nace, and the cold aura emanating from him could freeze anyone. Ye Yi hadn’t seen Ye Zi’an like this in a long ti.
"I should have known, the one with the barefoot doctor was never Prefectural Magistrate Cui. Well played, well played, pulling a trick to lure away."
They subconsciously thought that the one with the barefoot doctor must be Prefectural Magistrate Cui, so they pursued the two to Tumi. Who would have thought, Prefectural Magistrate Cui appeared in the Capital City.
Thinking it over now, the one who fled with the barefoot doctor was not Prefectural Magistrate Cui at all.
The group quickly mounted their horses, and just as they were about to exit the city gates, the County Magistrate of Tumi arrived with his n.
"Lord Marquis, Lord Marquis..." The County Magistrate of Tumi panted for breath, and when he got closer, he saw Ye Zi’an’s cold face, a chill so intense that it nearly stopped his own breath.
"What’s the matter?"
"Your humble servant wishes to report that the barefoot doctor has been captured!"
"Very good!" Ye Zi’an’s icy deanor finally eased a bit, "Where is he?"
"In the back!"
"Ye Yi, go and bring the person here."
A mont later, Ye Yi dragged the barefoot doctor over. Upon seeing Ye Zi’an, the barefoot doctor inexplicably wet himself.
"Damn!" Ye Yi furiously kicked him, "You’re courting death, aren’t you?" He had splattered on his shoes.
Ye Zi’an dismounted and walked up to the barefoot doctor, lifting his chin with a dagger, "Quite bold to play tricks with ? Hmm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger plunged into the barefoot doctor’s shoulder.
"Ah..."
"Does it hurt?"
"What are you saying, I don’t understand." The barefoot doctor truly didn’t understand; he had run away with a bailiff. How was he to know what was going on? The bailiff told him to run, so he ran. What trickery? He knew nothing of such things.
"Doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as you know it hurts." Ye Zi’an looked at Ye Yi, "Cripple his hands and feet and let him see how he can run."
Recalling the ssage from his subordinates, this barefoot doctor even dared to surround his wife.
With such uselessness, he dared to surround his wife?
Very good, let him wait!
Ye Zi’an cast an inscrutable glance at the barefoot doctor, then mounted his horse.
"You did well this ti. I will certainly report this matter to the Emperor. I hope you govern Tumi well and benefit the people. If I find out you’re harming the people, today’s fate of the barefoot doctor will be your tomorrow."
This last sentence was said to the County Magistrate of Tumi.
