Captain Wu was amazed. He really didn't expect that Fang Dianli would be so reckless. He didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. It was obvious that someone was targeting the Yongding Marquis' Mansion and even bribed the people in the restaurant.
How could an ordinary person be able to cause such trouble in the capital
But this Fang Dianli was not afraid of causing trouble and just spoke the truth so boldly.
But anyway, it was a good thing that this hot potato was taken over by someone else, and it saved him trouble, so he didn't care about it and hurried to distance himself from it.
Su Rong looked at him meaningfully and smiled. When he said that he was going back, he didn't say much and just waved his hand.
Captain Wu breathed a sigh of relief and walked for a distance. He saw Fang Dianli leading a group of yamen runners and heading straight to the restaurant they had just visited.
Really unexperienced.
He shook his head and slipped away adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind.
He was also busy delivering New Year gifts to the Sun family. Sun Wen had suffered a great deal this time, and although he could not do anything else to help, he had to express his gratitude.
Sun Yongning was watching his nephew paste the couplets at the door. Now that he had some free time, he was in better spirits than before. He was not affected by the court at all. When he saw Wu Qianhu coming over, he clapped his hands, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped the paste on his hands, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you from?"
"From Dongsi Street." Captain Wu smiled and held the basin for Sun Yongning attentively. He observed Sun Yongning's expression and told him about the attack on the Su family's carriage. Seeing Sun Yongning's concern, he immediately realized that this matter was worth mentioning, so he described the whole thing in vivid detail. At the end, he said, "When my nephew came back, the lawsuit over there had not been settled yet. How could the child of that tavern tie a knot that only soldiers could tie? It's obvious that someone pushed the child out to take the blame. It seems that the Su family is unwilling to give up."
Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Yongning's mind.
The previous incident in the Beijing Camp clearly showed that the Xu family was targeting the Song family. So, could the incident with the Su family this time be related to the Xu family
He actually hoped to have some connection, the Xu family was so lawless.
On the other side, Su Rong and Su Yao waited until the child was out of danger before they felt relieved. They told the couple to settle down in the clinic temporarily, and instructed Ruan Xiaojiu and others to send someone to take care of them before leaving.
"Fortunately, Dr. Shen is here." Su Yao was still in shock, his face pale from being too frightened: "Otherwise, the child's life would not be saved. He is only six years old..."
Because he had been traveling around with his parents to set up stalls for many years, he looked a little thinner than other children of the same age. When he got off the carriage, Su Yao thought he was going to die.
The shock at that moment was simply indescribable. Su Yao couldn't help but close his eyes when he thought of this.
Su Rong rarely saw her so lost and panicked. The rarer it was, the greater the impact this incident had on her. He fell silent. When the new carriage arrived and he helped Su Yao onto it, he seemed to be assuring himself and Su Yao and spoke softly, "Yaoyao, don't worry. This matter won't end so easily."
Never.
Su Yao's face was still a little pale. The excessive shock and stimulation actually made her heart a little overwhelmed. Even now, her heart was still beating so fast that even her fingers were shaking.
It's not like she hasn't seen dead people before.
But no matter how mature she had become in her cultivation, she still couldn't remain calm in front of a child who almost died tragically for her.
After hearing what Su Rong said, she calmed down and shook her head firmly: "No, brother, I want to do this myself."
Su Rong had never said no to Su Yao. Since Su Yao said so, he had no choice but to listen and accompanied Su Yao to the Daxing County Government Office.
In the Daxing County Office, the Magistrate Zhang was so worried that his beard was about to stand on end. He glared at Fang Dianli and said, "You are so capable! Bring them back. If something happens..."
If they can't find out the truth during the investigation, what will happen to the reputation of the Daxing County Court
It is possible that Su Rong will report him.
But if the truth is revealed during the interrogation, how could the person who dared to attack the Yongding Marquis' Mansion behind the scenes be someone to be easily dealt with
It's offending people anyway.
He was really worried.
Fang Dianli was serious and did not forget to persuade Master Zhang righteously: "Master, why are you so depressed? The imperial inspection is coming soon. If you can handle this matter well, are you still afraid of failing the inspection? You said some time ago that it was time to do something to show that you can do things. Isn't this the case?"
"That's easy to say!" Lord Zhang was annoyed: "The two sides are gods fighting, who knows who will be implicated?"
We are not fools. The Song family was tripped up by someone a while ago, and something happened to the Su family again. What if it is related to the Xu family
Then do you still want to mix it
"Your Excellency's words are even more confusing." Fang Dianli persuaded: "Do you have any connections in the Xu family? On the other hand, if you can get through this way..."
A few words made Lord Zhang lose his temper.
He really had no way to get promoted. It was not easy to be the county magistrate of Daxing County. There were high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere in the capital, and Shuntian Prefecture and various government offices were under pressure from above. It was extremely difficult to make a name for himself.
But to cling to the Xu family
How could anyone appreciate even a little bit of your filial piety
However, the ready-made path is right there. It is no secret that the Su family has a good relationship with the Song family, and it is also true that they are close confidants of the emperor's eldest grandson.
He pursed his lips and asked someone to bring the restaurant owner up.
The owner of the restaurant had already been frightened by the scene. When he was brought to the court, he knelt down without Master Zhang having to waste any words, and admitted his guilt with a very good attitude. He cried and shouted that it was his fault, that he had not supervised the child well enough, and that he should not have indulged the child's ignorant and mischievous behavior. He also shouted loudly that he wanted to take out money to compensate the child.
Mr. Zhang had tried many cases, but it was rare to see a prisoner who confessed so actively. He sighed, looked at him coldly and asked, "So, you plead guilty?"
The restaurant owner, Fatty Liu, nodded hurriedly, the fat on his chin trembling, and wiped the cold sweat from his head: "Sir, I plead guilty, I plead guilty! It's all my fault! I will pay whatever money the child needs! And the Bo's Mansion, whatever compensation the Bo's Mansion needs, I will pay too!"
Mr. Zhang sneered: "You are so arrogant. Do you know how much silver you need to pay for such a mistake?"
"No matter how much money it is, it's always my fault." Fatty Liu said sincerely, "No matter how much money it takes, I will raise the money even if I have to sell everything I have, and I will never let the other party suffer any loss."
