Having learned from Mute Granny that Xue Huaiyuan's former subordinates had been sent to East Mountain, Ye Mingyu had his men take Mute Granny back home. As Jiang Li had predicted, because Mute Granny was old and people thought her mute, Feng Yutang did not take her seriously. When Ye Mingyu's men escorted her back, no one noticed anything amiss.
Inside the house, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu were still sitting opposite each other. It was deep into the night, yet neither felt the slightest bit sleepy. Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li and said, "Jiang Li, this matter is not simple."
Although Ye Mingyu had known from the start that the case involving the Xue Family was no small matter—after all, it involved overturning a conviction—any act of exoneration that sought to clear one's name inevitably impinged upon the interests of others. The current County Magistrate Xue of Tongxiang, Feng Yutang, was clearly not a good man. Naturally, what Jiang Li intended to do was not going to be simple.
