While comforting her sister, Ye Pingxuan couldn't help but think of the man who promised her. He said he would come to find her, but it was a pity that she couldn't wait for that day.
Did he know the news that something happened to him? Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't.
If he knew, he would have a path for the poor, and the rich would naturally have a path for the rich.
At this time, Wang Chao needed to believe more that Ye Pingxuan's father was dragged down because of the failure of the political struggle.
Since the incident has happened, it is useless to say this now. First of all, we have to rescue Ye Pingxuan and her family.
The news about Ye Pingxuan's family was not difficult to find out. I soon found out when the family was sent away and where they were sent away.
Half a month has passed since they were sent away, and maybe they have been sent to the capital now.
Wang Chao did not dare to waste time, so he rushed forward and chased them at the fastest speed.
This chase lasted for three days and three nights, and three horses died along the way. If Wang Chao hadn't had enough money and had to run to death to buy one, he wouldn't have been able to continue rushing.
Three days later, Wang Chao rushed to the capital. Wang Chao immediately inquired about the news about the Ye family, Ye Zhi
The men of Zhao's prefect have been asked to take action.
Prefect Zhao would not be dispatched in his own name, but it would be enough to have someone to let him go.
Next, accompanied by several confidants of the prefect Zhao, Wang Chao's subordinates visited the wealthy families in the city one by one with gifts. Each family, according to the degree of wealth, was solemn and varied in quantity.
If only Wang Chao's men came to give gifts, even if the gift was delivered to the door, it would not be certain whether the other party would accept it or not. Even if he received the gift, he might not use it at all.
But with the magistrate's men following it, the meaning is completely different.
The prefect has a great reputation and must be given. Anyone will offend the local prefect.
So these gifts will definitely be accepted and will be tried to use them.
Ordinary people cannot give up their business with them, and wealthy families cannot give up their business with them.
Wang Chao's strategy was undoubtedly very successful. In just three days, the sales of matches and soap became popular, and the four branches in the city were crowded with people.
However, Wang Chao also knew that this situation was not easy to maintain for too long. Although matches are consumables, the price was not low and most people were reluctant to buy them. As for soap, a piece of soap will take a long time to use. No one has used it in a short period of time, so there are naturally many people who buy it. When they all buy soap, the sales of soap will also decline.
However, Wang Chao was not worried about the sales situation.
Because in his original plan, he did not rely on local sales to sell goods and sell them all over the country to truly make money.
The sales of matches and soaps are getting better and better, and there is already a shortage of supply.
Wang Chao had already been involved in this.
It is never so convenient to rely entirely on producing finished products from other places and then transport them back for sale. It is also here for Wang Chao to establish Qingyun Villa.
In Qingyun Villa, Wang Chao has built many workshops, which can secondary processing of products. The main raw materials for soap and matches are produced overseas, and then these main raw materials are transported to the workshop of Qingyun Villa for secondary processing.
In this way, not only the transportation speed is accelerated, but the production speed is also accelerated.
Because the factory on the sea ship Yinyue Island does not need to make finished products, but only the main raw materials are naturally much faster than making finished products.
Wang Chao currently only plans to produce matches and soap only, and does not intend to get involved in the rest of the products.
Part of the reason is that the production capacity cannot keep up, and part of the reason is that the funds earned by these two commodities are enough for their daily expenses.
Making money has never been his purpose, but a means to achieve his goal.
Qingyun Villa has already gotten on track, and Wang Chao will not have to worry about what happened next for the time being.
Wang Chao thought of another person in his mind, which was a woman named Ye Pingxuan.
Wang Chao missed Ye Pingxuan. Instead of missing him, it was better to visit him. Wang Chao arranged the matters at Qingyun Villa without any hesitation, and went on the road alone to find Ye Pingxuan.
It took a day to rush to Ye Pingxuan's house, but when Wang Chao arrived here, he was shocked. Something happened to Ye Pingxuan's house.
After a little inquiry, all the causes and consequences of the matter were found out.
Ye Pingxuan's father Ye Zhiyuan was dismissed from office and investigated for corruption, and the whole family was implicated and had been escorted to Beijing by officials.
Wang Chao was also shocked. He did not expect that such a big change would have happened if he disappeared in a short time.
If Ye Pingxuan's father was arrested for corruption, Wang Chao did not believe it. Although it was not too long since he arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wang Chao had already seen that there were no officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty who were not corrupt. If Ye Pingxuan's father was corruption, Wang Chao believed it. If Wang Chao said that he was taken down because of corruption, he would definitely not believe it.
Yuan’s case is a big case and the most sensational news recently. News of Ye Zhiyuan’s case has spread all over the streets and alleys. You just need to go to the teahouse to find a waiter and find out.
Wang Chao's actions were already fast, but they were one step late. The Ye family and his group were brought here two days ago, but there was also good news. Because the Ye family's case is not a small matter, it will not be interrogated so quickly. It will take some time. The Ye family members were just detained and did not deal with it.
Wang Chao still has time to save them.
Speaking of which, it is not easy to save them. If only Ye Pingxuan is the only one, Wang Chao could rescue the person from the cell immediately.
But the problem is that Ye Pingxuan is not just a person, but a big family. It is not easy to rescue dozens of people from the prison cells in the capital and take them out safely.
Wang Chao needs to think carefully and make complete preparations before he can save people.
But before that, he needed to meet Ye Pingxuan first to confirm her safety.
The male prisoner and the female prisoner were detained separately, so Ye Pingxuan was naturally detained in the female prisoner prison with her female relatives.
At this time, in the female prisoner's cell, Ye Pingxuan and his family were huddling in the cell. Not only was the environment very poor, but it was also very cold. When did these ladies of the family have experienced this experience, they were all trembling with the cold.
More importantly, it is not the coldness of the external environment, but the panic and helplessness in the heart.
On the charge of the old man of the Ye family, the consequences of these women are the most miserable. They will be sold to the Jiaofangsi and become officials and prostitutes.
In the future, it is really unimaginable what their lives will be like. Just thinking about it will make them feel heartbroken.
Ye Pingxuan was still holding a little girl in her arms, which was her twelve-year-old girl. The little girl was so scared that she was trembling all over. Ye Pingxuan was still comforting her softly.
Ye Pingxuan was not in good condition at this time. She was dirty all over, her face was in various messy colors, her hair was also messy, and she didn't look very good.
This part was done on purpose, while the other part was caused by the hard work of living in the days I was arrested.
What do you think? Avoid yourself from afar or come to save yourself?
Ye Pingxuan couldn't think of the answer, she just vaguely had a desire, but the idea was too illusory and even she herself didn't believe it.
She could only hope that her father would not be convicted, that their family could be acquitted, that their family would be all external things, as long as the family was safe and sound.
But, if you are afraid, it is just a luxury.
Just as Ye Pingxuan was holding her sister and thinking about it, the female guard in the prison brought in with her. She was a man wearing a cloak. She couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she didn't look like a woman, but she looked a little taller.
The female guard took the man to the door of the cell, opened the cell, and then said softly: "Please take care of yourself, just ask you to move faster. If someone discovers it, it will be bad."
"Thank you." The visitor said softly, and stretched out his hand and put a small bag of silver coins on the female guard's hand. The female guard immediately laughed, took the money bag, and walked out quickly.
There was only Ye Pingxuan's family in the cell. The door of the old house was opened. There was a mysterious man in a cloak standing at the door, which immediately made Ye Pingxuan's family uneasy.
The man in cape lifted his cloak and revealed a man's face.
Ye Pingxuan looked at the face blankly, her mouth opened but couldn't say anything.
"Pingxuan, I'm sorry I'm late." Wang Chao said softly at the haggard Ye Pingxuan in front of him.
The Ye family and the group were also surprised, Ping Xuan? Who is this guy? How could he know Ye Ping Xuan? And he is so close.
Ye Pingxuan said blankly: "Why are you here?"
Wang Chao said: "I rushed over as soon as I heard the news of something wrong with your family. Don't worry, if I come, you will be fine."
Wang Chao took two steps forward and was closer to Ye Pingxuan.
However, it was not a question of asking these questions at this time, so they were waiting quietly and didn't ask much.
Soon, Ye Pingxuan's emotions finally vented. She touched her tears, raised her head to look at the face that was close to her in front of her, and still asked in disbelief: "Are you really here to save us? Do you know who we are? Do you know how sin my father is? Do you know where this place is? It's not that easy to save us."
Ye Pingxuan was still very excited.
Wang Chao gently stroked Ye Pingxuan's face and said gently: "I know, I know everything, but please believe me, I can rescue you, everything is fine."
After a pause, Wang Chao said, "To be honest, it is easy for me to save you alone. I can take you away from here and go to another place now. But you have too many family members. If you want to rescue them all safely, you still need to plan carefully."
When Ye Pingxuan heard Wang Chao's words, although she was also excited, she was definitely not the most excited person. The most exciting person was a gray-haired old woman in the crowd.
"Sir, do you take what you said seriously?" the old woman asked excitedly.
Ye Pingxuan quickly introduced: "This is my grandma."
Since he was Ye Pingxuan's elder, Wang Chao would not neglect it. He hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't call me like this. I am a junior. Just call me Xiao Ming. As for the questions asked by grandma, please rest assured. Since I dare to say this, I will naturally be sure to do this."
"Thank you, I'm here." Ye Pingxuan's grandmother said as she wanted to salute and thank her, but Wang Chao quickly caught her to stop her.
After Wang Chao comforted the old man, he hurriedly said, "Time is limited, so we are still talking about a long story."
"I need to know now how many of you have been arrested and where are these people? Do you know?"
"Okay, one question, another question comes. Let's first figure out how many people you have, and determine the number of people first."
After careful analysis by everyone, the number of members of the Ye family was finally figured out.
Their Ye family is also a big family, Ye Pingxuan stared at this familiar and unfamiliar face, suddenly stood up and threw herself into Wang Chao's arms. She beat Wang Chao's chest hard and burst into tears.
This period of experience is really an incredible and terrifying life for a young woman like her, and it is almost causing Ye Pingxuan to collapse.
Now that I suddenly saw Wang Chao appear in front of me, and suddenly heard what Wang Chao said, Ye Pingxuan could no longer bear the grief in her heart and burst into tears.
When the Ye family saw this scene, many people started crying, but some people still understood it. The man who suddenly appeared had a lot to do with Ye Pingxuan.
But they couldn't figure it out. Ye Pingxuan didn't go out at all, so how could he know a man? And depending on the situation, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Ye Pingxuan's father, Ye Zhiyuan, as the head of the Ye family, would suffer the whole clan when something happened to him. It was also because of this reason that so many people were arrested together.
After counting the total number of people arrested by the Ye family, there should be 78 people, including 52 women, and the rest are men, and twenty-six people.
Many of the more than fifty women were not immediate relatives of the Ye family, but the wives and concubines of the men of the Ye family. If wives and concubines were deducted, the Ye family's population would be smaller.
All fifty-two women are here, and there are three boys who are still young, and stay here by their mother's side.
