After discussion, Yang Fan and Ye Xiaoqian decided to go to Mingzhou together tomorrow morning.

Before that, Yang Fan returned to his home.

In order not to be recognized, Yang Fan specially took his hat out.

The fire last night not only burned Yang Fan's house, but dozens of families around him were also implicated, and most of the house was burned down.

Although no one was injured, there were a lot of property that was lost, which made many people cry.

The government has intervened in the investigation, but no one found the body, and no one reported the case.

The bodies of all the dead people disappeared out of thin air last night, as if there had never been any fight. It was obvious that the people behind the scenes did the aftermath.

An official posted a notice on the nearby wall, which said that due to an accidental fire in Yang Fan's house, it affected neighbors, and asked Yang Fan to surrender himself at the government office and pursue fines and compensation.

Damn it!

Yang Fan was so angry that he almost turned his back and suddenly became furious. This damn official was speechless.

After lowering his hat, Yang Fan quietly entered the ruins.

Yang Fan's backpack was hidden in the stove and was not burned by the fire.

There were a lot of things in the backpack, and Yang Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The house was gone, but finally there was still some wealth. The 300,000 bills won from Zhang Yang were all inside.

Before leaving, Yang Fan did not forget to look back at the ruins of the house. This was his first house, and it was inevitable that he was a little sad.

The old ones don’t go, and the new ones don’t come. Yang Fan swore that he would have to build a larger mansion in the future, and that it must be the most expensive land in the Song Dynasty.

When she returned to the inn room, Su Tingting immediately stepped forward and said, "I want to go with you too!"

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No! It's too dangerous over there, you'd better not go. Stay here with Xiao Cui and wait for my good news!"

Su Tingting refused to act coquettishly with Yang Fan and insisted on going with her.

Xiao Cui suddenly smiled and said, "Son-in-law, you have only left for a while, and the lady is restless and keeps asking you when you will be back, more than a thousand times!"

Yang Fan felt a little incredible, but he was very happy, so he asked Su Tingting, "Take it serious?"

Seeing Yang Fan's gaze at her, Su Tingting suddenly became sluggish and nodded shyly: "Not as bad as Xiao Cui said, I just asked a few times! I just felt that if I couldn't see you for a while, I would feel panic!"

Yang Fan's heart trembled. At that moment, he felt a special feeling, as if a big tree that had been lonely for a long time suddenly felt like a bird flew to build a nest.

Yang Fan smiled slightly, hugged Su Tingting in his arms, and coaxed her softly, "You can't help even if you go! Let's stay here honestly!"

Su Tingting refused to obey and insisted: "Mingzhou also has many friends with fathers. The goods we can't buy in Hangzhou may be able to buy in Mingzhou. If Ye Rui can succeed, it will be good, but we must not do the worst, so we can also have a guarantee!"

Yang Fan thought about it, and knew that Su Tingting was eager to save her father, so she agreed to see that she insisted.

When Yang Fan went to take a shower, Xiao Cui smiled beside Su Tingting and said, "Miss, you are not only worried about your uncle's safety, but you are also worried about your uncle's relationship with that girl Ye!"

Su Tingting was exposed by Xiao Cui, and she immediately gave her a blank look and warned: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Cui seemed very proud, but she still praised: "Miss is extremely smart. Of course, I can't be too bad as a maid!"

Su Tingting nodded slightly and told Xiao Cui to go in and serve Yang Fan’s bath. Xiao Cui was a little embarrassed and didn’t want to go in, but Su Tingting was still pushed in.

Yang Fan was soaking in the bathtub, and he could hear clearly the conversation between the two women outside.

Yang Fan touched his ears, but he never thought that his ears would become more and more sensitive after coming to ancient times. When he thought that Su Tingting was jealous of Ye Xiaoqian, he suddenly felt proud.

Yang Fan didn't need Xiao Cui to serve him in the bath, but he wanted Su Tingting to come in, so he asked Xiao Cui to go out to pass the message.

Soon, Su Tingting walked in slowly. Although she was already Yang Fan's woman, she was still very shy and embarrassed when she was just starting to experience human affairs.

Yang Fan smiled and pulled Su Tingting into the bathtub to have a fun bathing in the mandarin ducks.

The heat waves suddenly surging in the bathtub, steam is filled with light, and spring is shining.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoqian came to meet with Yang Fan. When she learned that Su Tingting was following her, she couldn't help but frown.

However, Yang Fan explained that he was worried about leaving Su Tingting and Xiao Cui's two girls alone in the inn, so he could protect and take care of them.

Although Ye Xiaoqian was not very happy, she still agreed, so the four of them set off together and rushed to Mingzhou.

Although Mingzhou is close to Hangzhou, its prosperity is far from the same level as Hangzhou's prosperity.

Ye Xiaoqian went out to inquire about the news and came back soon.

"My father went to the Jiao Gate, and there will be news tomorrow as soon as possible!"

Yang Fan nodded and suggested finding an inn to stay in first.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoqian went out and did not come back until noon. She found Ye Rui and took him back to the inn.

Ye Rui's face was not very good. Yang Fan and Su Tingting looked at each other, and their hearts were sank, guessing that things were not going well.

Sure enough, Ye Rui complained: "I didn't expect that I hadn't come out of the mountain for five years, and the people outside actually forgot me. It's so outrageous!"

Yang Fan immediately comforted: "Senior Ye, don't be angry. Since we know that it was the pirates from Taohua Island who plundered the Su family's merchant ships, they ran away from the monks and couldn't run away from the temple. We will have a chance sooner or later!"

Ye Rui nodded and said, "After that being said, this group of pirates is very fierce. Even the imperial navy can't do anything to them. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't catch that batch of goods!"

At this time, Su Tingting suddenly interrupted: "Senior Ye, don't you know how these pirates deal with the workers on the Su family merchant ship?"

Ye Rui then said: "This group of pirates originally only robbed merchant ships from extras. The Song Dynasty merchant ships were safe on weekdays. However, the leader of Taohua Island was unable to afford to be ill recently. Disagreements arose within them. One group continued to follow the original rules, but another group disagrees that the protection fees paid by merchants in the Song Dynasty were not enough and openly robbed them. Many nearby merchant ships were robbed by them. The workers of your Su family heard that they were sold to Nanyang to work as coolies!"

Su Tingting sighed. The result was not bad. At least the workers in the Su family fleet had no life. They were sold to Nanyang as coolies, but they were worried that she felt sorry for their family.

Yang Fan immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, there will be a solution!"

Su Tingting nodded. Now Yang Fan is her support. She no longer has the opinion of the past and only listens to Yang Fan's words.

Yang Fan turned to Ye Rui and asked, "Senior Ye, with your experience, the Su family's goods are really not going to come back? Even if you give them other goods, as long as you return to Hangzhou Prefecture to pay tribute to **, we can even pay for redemption!"

Ye Rui knew what Yang Fan meant. As long as the batch of goods ordered by Master Wu was delivered on time, even if the Su family lost all their money, at least Su Li could come out alive.

Ye Rui then said, "It's not completely impossible. The pirates in Taohua Island have a rule. If the victim wants to redeem the goods, he must pass the oil pan. As long as he can pass the oil pan, he will be allowed to pay for the goods!"

Yang Fan immediately asked, "By the oil pan? What does that mean?"

Ye Rui smiled bitterly and said, "It is the pirates who put the seal in a hot oil pan. The pirates need to reach out and take out the seal. As long as they can get the seal, the pirates will return the pirates' goods! But no one can do it, so it's better not to ask about this rule!"
