Su Yao didn't know that she was regarded as a lucky star by Master Ji. She watched Master Bai Qi being invited into a dim room. She was about to follow him in, but was stopped by Councillor Yang. She immediately stopped and looked at Councillor Yang: "Master Yang, is there anything you want to say?"
Yang, the councillor, did have something to do. He looked very troubled, but he finally nodded, coughed, and said solemnly: "I know the county lady is capable, but she has helped a lot before, and we officials in Kunming are grateful. It's just that... now things have been basically settled, and we can handle it, so we don't need to bother the county lady to come."
Su Rong frowned and asked coldly, "What does Lord Yang mean by this?"
It was Su Yao's idea last night that made Mrs. Ji confess so quickly, and now we are able to follow the clues and catch Mr. Bai Qi.
I didn't say anything about not daring to work before, but now that the person has been caught, I have to resort to this trick.
This is like killing the donkey after it has done its job.
Su Yao was not a donkey. She stood there and raised her eyebrows calmly: "To be honest with you, my lord, the Seventh Master Bai in there is a world-famous pirate and the one who controlled Juhai Manor. The Jinyiwei had captured a Seventh Master Bai in the suburbs of Beijing before, and it was later confirmed by Guangping Hou who went to Fujian that the real Seventh Master Bai was still in Fujian and later went out to sea and lost contact. Now Seventh Master Bai has appeared in Yunnan and dared to continue to plot against His Royal Highness the Grandson. The forces behind this person must be guarded against. I have something else to ask clearly."
Councillor Yang didn't even frown.
In fact, when Mrs. Ji mentioned Mr. Bai Qi's name last night, he went to find Mr. Liao overnight. The two of them already knew Mr. Bai Qi's identity.
However, it was precisely because of this knowledge that Senator Yang was keenly aware of how big a deal this was.
Master Bai Qi was able to bribe Wei Desheng and get all the generals in Wei Desheng's area to work for him. He could also contact Mu Tong, so this man's status was self-evident. As long as he could get something from Master Bai Qi, he would have nothing to worry about in the future.
He laughed leisurely for a while and said, "Yes, that's why the county lady is not an official after all, so it is not appropriate and should not continue to ask about this matter. The matter that the county lady is worried about, I will find out clearly and make it clear to His Highness and even the court. The county lady does not need to worry about it anymore."
Su Rong frowned and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Su Yao.
Su Yao grabbed Su Rong and her eyes met those of Councillor Yang. The two looked at each other, and she said "oh", then turned around and left with Su Rong in her hand.
Su Rong was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "It hasn't even come to that point yet. You're already trying to take credit for it!"
In fact, it was not necessarily an attempt to steal the credit. When Senator Yang looked at him, the rejection in his eyes was obvious.
Although a girl has a noble status, she is restricted in every way, which is very inconvenient.
Su Yao sighed, rubbed his brows and advised Su Rong: "Forget it, if you don't want to try him, then don't try him. There are other ways. His Highness should have a result. Let's go and take a look."
As for Mr. Bai Qi, Senator Yang couldn't help but tell Xiao Heng about what he had examined.
Su Rong glanced behind him unwillingly, but since Su Yao said so, he had no choice but to agree and go to Xiao Heng's yard with Su Yao.
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Ji Yunting standing in the passage in embarrassment, with several women in gorgeous dresses in front of him.
Su Rong was a little surprised. He had never seen the wives of officials in Kunming, so he wondered: "What are the women of the Ji family doing here, Your Highness? Are they begging for mercy?"
Su Yao recognized the person at a glance, smiled and shook his head: "No, that's not a member of the Ji family, it's Madam Yang, the wife of Councillor Yang."
Mrs. Yang
Before Su Rong could react, Madam Yang had already turned around. Seeing Su Yao, she bowed slightly and said, "Princess Changning."
There was a pretty girl beside her, who also bowed at this moment, but her eyes swept across Su Yao.
Su Yao smiled and avoided her greeting, and asked, "Madam, are you here?"
Ji Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and took over the conversation: "Madam is here to see Councillor Yang, but Councillor Yang is not here. Prince Consort Tang has told us not to let anyone in because he is trying a case. Therefore, I dare not invite Madam Yang and Miss Yan in."
Su Rong didn't think there was anything wrong. He nodded and took Su Yao in.
Madam Yang's eyes darkened.
Miss Yang San also frowned in surprise, and then couldn't help asking Ji Yunting: "Since outsiders are not allowed to enter, why can County Master Su?"
Su Rong was the Lord and the pioneer, so it was natural for him to go in, and no one could find fault with him. However, Su Yao was also a female relative, and as a female relative, she followed Su Rong everywhere so naturally, did she have any shame? Did she still have any sense of shame? Moreover, it was said in the letter that only His Highness was trying the case!
Miss Yang's attitude was a bit intense. Ji Yunting looked at her in confusion. "But, Princess Su followed His Highness all the way from the capital, right? His Highness's consort, Cui Daru and others are all familiar with her. They never told us to stop the princess."
Lackey!
Miss Yang cursed Ji Yunting in her heart and was so angry that she was fuming.
If it were in the past, Ji Yunting was from a noble family, so what? He had no right to speak in front of her. Now, he was just taking advantage of His Highness's position in the Ji family, and he dared to be so ungrateful.
Mrs. Yang didn't say anything else. She glanced at her daughter, and when she saw that she had stopped yelling, she walked out with her daughter calmly.
Miss Yang San was unwilling to give up. She followed Madam Yang out of the house. When she saw that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and bit her lip and said, "Mother, did you see that? He clearly did it on purpose! Why didn't he stop the man surnamed Su, but only stopped us?"
Mrs. Yang said nothing.
Miss Yang San couldn't help but get angry: "She is so shameless, and she is a noble lady in the capital, don't you know the rules? There is no elder around, a woman, not even married yet, but she is so reckless, no rules, she has no shame!"
Moreover, I spend every day with His Highness.
I guess this is what Su Rong was thinking. He wanted his sister to be the emperor's eldest grandson's consort because he kept her by his side and wanted her to be the emperor's eldest grandson's consort, right
Upon hearing this, Madam Yang glared at her daughter and said, "You are becoming more and more outspoken. Why do you say anything? What happens to her is her business. You should not lose your composure. Besides, why are you so anxious? Even if she follows you, what will happen? Look at how the officials in Yunnan view her. Can they look down on this unruly person?"
