Chapter 217 How dare you block my way
"General Ye!"
"I wonder why General Ye sent someone to call me here?"
Wang Xuewen, the prefect of the capital city, came to Ye Qi in a hurry, bowed, and asked a little anxiously.
"Oh, I know that Lord Wang is on duty today. Your yamen has the habit of sending constables to patrol the night market, so I asked my attendant to invite Lord Wang to come here and help me with a little favor."
Ye Qi said with a bit of embarrassment.
"General, you have given me a great honor. If you need anything from me, just tell me!"
Wang Xuewen cupped his hands and spoke politely and flatteringly.
Who is General Ye? If he wants to get something done, he can just use his own name. Asking him to help today naturally means that they respect him. Of course, he is very happy to do this job.
It was true that this restaurant was under his jurisdiction, but he was puzzled as to why he was asked to come to Linshui Pavilion to do the job. General Ye was even waiting at the door in person, and seemed very anxious.
"In that case, thank you, Lord Wang."
"I'm ashamed to say that my wife and I had some conflicts recently. She packed up her belongings and refused to return home. She even hid herself away, making it take me a long time to find her!"
"The guards at home said that she came to Linshui Pavilion, but Linshui Pavilion is large and has many people, and the shopkeeper has a rule that the information of the guests cannot be disclosed. I also can't directly reveal my identity, so as not to use my power to pressure others!"
"I know that you are in charge of this place, and you must often need to check the identities of guests staying here to ensure the safety of the capital. That's why I asked you to come and help me find out where my wife is living now."
After Ye Qi finished speaking, he felt even more embarrassed.
After hearing this, Wang Xuewen almost couldn't hold back his laughter. It turned out that the general was chasing his runaway wife.
It's quite surprising that a great general, usually cold and noble, would find himself in such an embarrassing situation.
She must have been embarrassed to use her power to publicize her predicament, so she called him here. For him, it was just a piece of cake, but now she was able to do him a big favor. No matter what, she was making a fortune.
"General Ye, rest assured. We also need to verify the identities of the guests staying here tonight. We will naturally help you keep track of where your wife is staying!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty!"
"No, no, please, General!"
Seeing that Ye Qi was so polite, Wang Xuewen quickly made a gesture to invite him in and led Ye Qi into the headmaster's office of Linshui Pavilion, followed by several constables and Mo Tian.
When the shopkeeper of Linshui Pavilion saw Wang Xuewen and his companions coming in, he naturally handed over his record book to him in a flattering manner.
"Is this Li Ze the name of Madam's bodyguard?"
Wang Xuewen pointed at the name in the record book and asked Ye Qi.
"That's right!" Ye Qi nodded.
"This name is registered in the record book in Room 1 of Di, Room 3 of Di, Room 5 of Tian and Room 6 of Tian."
Wang Xuewen said, secretly complaining that this lady actually asked the guards to open so many rooms.
"Madam is so angry that she opened so many rooms and brought all the guards and maids here. She is going to be angry with me for a long time!"
Ye Qi murmured helplessly.
"I just don't know which room she is in. I have to look for her carefully. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"No, no, General Ye, you are too polite!"
Wang Xuewen complained in his heart. This great general used to be very quiet and seemed cold from a distance. This little princess of the Wu country was really powerful. She could make him so talkative, which made him a little scared.
"General Ye, do you need your help to find the general's wife?"
Wang Xuewen asked tentatively. He was afraid that Ye Qi might run into trouble along the way, so he could help solve it. Besides, he also wanted to see how General Ye would coax his wife back home, so he was very curious.
"That's fine too!"
Ye Qi hesitated and felt embarrassed for a moment, but soon agreed.
"If Lord Wang is not busy, it would be great if you could accompany me. If there is any trouble along the way, I hope Lord Wang can help me!"
"Of course, of course, General Ye, please!"
Wang Xuewen nodded, smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and the few of them went to Biyu Tower in a mighty manner.
"Mo Tian, knock on the door!"
The group arrived at Room No. 1, which was located on the left side of the staircase at Biyu Tower.
Ye Qi frowned slightly, stood at the door majestically, and gave Mo Tian a look.
"Yes!"
Mo Tian took the order, stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times.
After a while, the door creaked open. It was Ye'er who opened the door, followed by Lian'er. When they saw who was coming at the door, they bowed in panic.
"General!"
"Where's Madame?"
Ye Qi didn't waste any words. He looked at the two of them, frowned, and asked in a cold voice.
"Husband, madam..."
The two looked at each other nervously, but did not continue talking.
"How dare you not answer my question!"
Ye Qi spoke in a cold voice, because he had been fighting and shouting outside for many years, so his cold voice was very penetrating and intimidating.
The two little girls were terrified. They just knelt down tremblingly and stammered, "Reporting to the general, the madam, the madam did not allow us to tell you where she is..."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and he was afraid that Ye Qi would punish him in the next second.
"Humph, if you don't tell me, I won't know!"
Ye Qi said this in a cold voice, then turned and walked towards the stairs.
"General, General!!"
The two men crawled out of the room and tried to block Ye Qi's way. For a moment, they looked a little embarrassed and too conspicuous.
At the same time, the door of the room on the right side of the stairs opened, and Min'er and Xi'er came out. Seeing Ye'er and Lian'er kneeling on the ground, and Ye Qi with an angry look on his face, they quickly knelt in front of them and blocked the stairs.
"General, general!"
"How dare you block my way!"
He stared at them angrily.
"Mo Tian, get them away for me!"
"Yes!"
Mo Tian was about to step forward to pull the few people apart, when Li Ze came down from upstairs again, walked quickly down the stairs, knelt on one knee to block his way, and bowed to Ye Qi.
"General, our princess has ordered that you must not go upstairs to look for her, unless you kill us all!"
"presumptuous!"
Ye Qi's tone became even more furious, and his words were even more penetrating.
"Mo Tian, take him down first!"
"Yes!"
Mo Tian took the order and went forward to catch Li Ze. Li Ze's eyes turned cold and he actually resisted, and the two of them wrestled with each other.
The four girls kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they dodged and screamed, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"This, this, this..."
When Wang Xuewen saw this, he widened his eyes, not knowing what to do. Looking at Ye Qi's gloomy face, he did not dare to step forward to persuade him. After all, this was his family affair. However, this fight in public attracted many people to watch. Soon, the front of Biyu Tower was slowly filled with people, all watching them curiously.
