Chapter 1375 He has someone above him!
After a cup of tea, Zhao Yuan was the first to leave the side room, followed by Yang Tao who also pushed the door and left the room with a heavy heart and returned to his job in the yamen.

Seeing Yang Tao so absent-minded, his colleague Ye Feiyang also came over and asked in a low voice:

"What happened to Brother Yang?"

Facing Ye Feiyang's question, Yang Tao, who was upset, responded casually:

"It's no big deal!"

"Brother Yang, you lied to me. If it's nothing serious, why would Zhao Yuan, the evil star, come to you?"

Seeing that Ye Feiyang seemed very familiar with Zhao Yuan, Yang Tao couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"Do you know Zhao Yuan?"

Ye Feiyang nodded without hesitation and said:

"Of course! He became a constable in Fengshan County at the age of seventeen. Later, because he repeatedly solved strange cases and captured the Liaoyang bandit Sun Erhu, he was promoted to the head of the constable by the then Fengshan County Magistrate, Ma Runchuan, who was also the governor of Qilu. Later, when Your Majesty was recruiting soldiers in Fengshan, he followed Your Majesty to join the army."

"He could have made further progress in the army before, but he had some connections with Ye Baode. So even though he did not participate in Ye Baode's rebellion, he was still affected and forced to leave the army and come to the Ministry of Justice to become such a leader!"

Hearing Ye Feiyang's understanding of Zhao Yuan's background, Yang Tao asked with some doubt:
"How do you know so much about Zhao Yuan?"

Faced with Yang Tao's question, Ye Feiyang looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Yang Tao was very tactful and continued:
“If it’s inconvenient to say, I won’t ask…”

Ye Feiyang also said after hearing this:

"It's not really inconvenient. Zhao Yuan is a distant relative of mine. He also came to visit my grandfather during the Chinese New Year!"

Although he had known for a long time that Ye Feiyang's identity was not ordinary, Yang Tao couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he heard him say this.

Zhao Yuan, the head of the Ministry of Justice, is a sixth-rank official. The person who could take the initiative to visit him must be either a third or fourth-rank official or a respected elder in the Ye clan. This shows that the grandfather Ye Feiyang mentioned is definitely a big shot!

At this time, Ye Feiyang didn't know that his elder brother Yang was secretly analyzing his background in his heart. He still asked Yang Tao with concern:
"Brother Yang, this Zhao Yuan is a very capable person. When he was a detective, he was known for his ability to solve cases. Later, he was brave and resourceful in the army and made many military achievements. If he had not been affected by the Ye Baode incident, his future would probably be limitless!"

"And the most important thing is that this Zhao Yuan has someone above him!" Ye Feiyang said as he raised a finger and pointed upwards.

Seeing that Ye Feiyang, who had an unusual identity and background, was so secretive, Yang Tao undoubtedly felt even more solemn.

When he was investigating the case under Liu Ning's order, he realized that this matter was unusual, but he did not expect that the impact of this matter was far greater than he imagined. He seemed to have exposed the sky. Thinking of this, Yang Tao, the experienced old captain, also felt a little regretful.

After reminding Yang Tao, Ye Feiyang did not say anything and returned to his seat. He told Yang Tao so much because Yang Tao had always taken care of him at work. However, the nobleman behind Zhao Yuan, even he, the young master, did not dare to provoke...
After Ye Feiyang's reminder, Yang Tao felt more and more that the situation was beyond his control as a constable. If he couldn't handle the current situation well, he would probably be blamed!

Thinking of this, Yang Tao wanted to leave the Yijing Yamen, but his years of experience made him understand that if he left the Yamen now, it would make him look even more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Yang Tao suppressed his temper and picked up a newspaper to read. As the chief constable of Yijing Yamen, Yang Tao would investigate cases when there were any, and wait for cases in the Yamen when there were no cases.

Yang Tao just solved a serial theft case yesterday, so he has no cases on hand today. For this reason, Yang Tao cannot use the excuse of investigating the case to leave the yamen.

After reading three newspapers, drinking a pot of tea, and going to the toilet, Yang Tao waited for his lunch at the yamen. Because Yijing's economy was developing very well, the tax situation of Yijing yamen was also very good, which made the welfare benefits of Yijing yamen also very good. One important manifestation of this was the lunch in the yamen.

The lunch at Yijing Yamen is not only free, but also comes with four dishes and one soup, namely fried cabbage with black fungus, tomato and egg soup, stir-fried shredded potatoes, pickled cucumbers, and the remaining dish is the heavyweight braised pork!
Three vegetarian dishes, tomato and egg soup, and rice that can be refilled when finished, but the braised pork is limited. Each of the yamen runners can only have one spoonful, which is about seven or eight pieces. But even so, looking at the whole Daqian, such a lunch is still very sumptuous·····················

The officers of the Yijing Yamen were very happy to have the fragrant braised pork. After the dish was served, some of them immediately began to devour it, but some only ate one or two pieces, and then carefully wrapped the remaining braised pork with oil paper, ready to take it home for their families.

Although Ye Mingsheng has been committed to developing agriculture in recent years so that all the people of Daqian can have enough food to eat, he has achieved some results in this regard, keeping the grain price in Daqian in a reasonable range for a long time and the supply of grain on the market is also very sufficient.

But nowadays, ordinary people can only ensure that most people can have food to eat and about half of the people can have enough food to eat. There is still a long way to go before everyone can have enough food to eat, let alone eat well.

Therefore, meat dishes are extremely rare for most people in Daqian. They cannot be eaten on weekdays and can only enjoy a bite during festivals.

Although the income of Yijing's servants is not low, at least seven taels of silver a year, and they also receive various allowances and benefits, the prices in Yijing are very consistent with its status as the second largest city in Daqian.

Therefore, most of the officials did not come from wealthy families, so for them, they could eat meat every now and then in the yamen, but their wives, elderly people and children at home rarely had the opportunity to eat meat. Therefore, some filial and family-oriented officials were willing to pack up the meat and vegetables and take them home to share with their families.

Although Yang Tao was also very filial and family-oriented, he did not pack up the meat and vegetables. After all, his family was relatively well-off in Yijing. Although they could not eat meat every day, they could eat meat twice a month. Secondly, he had something to do tonight and might not even go home...
