Councillor Yang was upset. This was no secret. Anyway, Mrs. Liao knew about it in the afternoon. Mrs. Liao was also a little puzzled: "Why did the county lady have to try Mr. Bai Qi first when Councillor Yang was doing the trial well?"
Having worked together for such a long time, they understood each other's personalities, and Mrs. Liao knew Senator Yang's temper quite well.
This person is a good person who gets things done, but he is also a narrow-minded person. If you try to steal his credit, he will really become your enemy and will do anything for you.
Therefore, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. During the years of working together, Lord Liao has always been polite to Councillor Yang.
Seeing Su Yao being so strong, Mrs. Liao was not unhappy, but at the same time, she still had to ask the reason.
Liao Jingxu's eyes widened, he laughed and shook his head: "Old Yang has fallen into his old habit again. He does like to do things, but he has to follow the rules. Bai Qiye was caught by Su Yao, and he was caught by Yongding Bo and the county lady together. No matter which rules are followed, they did not go beyond their principles to snatch people for trial. Everyone knows that catching Bai Qiye and asking him some questions is a meritorious service? The problem is, you have to be reasonable! Even if it is true what Councillor Yang said, that Su Yao has no rank and is not an official, and the women in the inner house should follow the rules, but this matter does not have to be done by you, Old Yang, there are so many people around His Highness! It is clear that Yongding Bo is His Highness's confidant. Even if he is not Yongding Bo, there is still Lord Song. Who is the prince? He brought up His Highness! Why do you, Old Yang, want to interfere and grab this credit? You are really confused!"
He was still unhappy in his heart, but Senator Yang was not stupid. When he went to Su Yao and Su Rong to stop them and ask for the person, he said that it was his order.
What did he order!
Wei Desheng's incident, he was assassinated on the outskirts of the city, and on his first day in Kunming he was framed for stealing his minister's wife. In the final analysis, these things all happened in Yunnan, and Yunnan was under the jurisdiction of him as the governor.
Whether in public or in private, he had already offended Xiao Heng.
So Xiao Heng wanted to take over everything this time. Obviously, he wanted to find out the corrupt officials and spies in the Yunnan officialdom so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop. He was eager to stay out of it and let Xiao Heng investigate it thoroughly.
But Senator Yang insisted on taking the credit.
Why bother
When Xiao Heng sweeps through the officialdom, the new official will have three things to do when he takes office. After these three things are done, will he worry about having nothing to do
Mrs. Liao was not an ordinary official wife. She understood what her husband had said. She shook her head and chuckled, "Come to think of it, no wonder I said that for no reason, Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang San were not happy with the county lady. So this is the reason."
She asked again: "Since Senator Yang wanted to take the credit, why did he let the person go?"
Senator Yang is not the kind of person who would spit out meat after eating it.
Liao Jingxu laughed and said meaningfully, "He had to let her go. Miss Su is really not an ordinary person. She went to ask for the person, saying that she had something important to ask Mr. Bai Qi. Councillor Yang tried to stop her, but she refused. Then, Miss Su showed him how she forced Mr. Bai Qi to surrender..."
Mrs. Liao asked curiously, "What is the method?"
"Princess Su had a very sophisticated crossbow, which she hid in her sleeve. When Councillor Yang was making trouble, she raised her hand, and several sharp crossbow arrows rubbed Councillor Yang's ears." When Lord Liao talked about this incident, he also had mixed feelings: "What else could Councillor Yang say? Of course, he let the person go."
It was obvious that Xiao Heng was helping Su Yao, but Su Yao had such a powerful thing in her hand and was so brave. Who could really risk his life to confront her head-on
Madam Liao laughed, and after a while she exclaimed in amazement: "I really didn't expect this county lady to be such a powerful person. However, I really like her. It shows that His Highness has his own plans for employing people. Miss Su is a powerful character."
"Yes, we can talk about this in private, but you can also tell our relatives, don't offend Miss Su." Liao Jingxu lowered his eyes: "You women are prone to gossip. After today, there will be countless rumors about Miss Su. We can't control what others say, but I don't want anyone to say a bad word about Miss Su in our family. Do you understand?"
Su Yao did this because she had her reasons.
There is no benefit in really provoking others.
But Senator Yang's family is different. Since they want to curry favor with Xiao Heng, Su Yao, who is treated differently by Xiao Heng, is already a stumbling block for them. Now there is such a grudge, the Yang family will not let it go. However, that is the Yang family's business, and Liao Jingxu does not want to get involved.
He was so busy pacifying the people and investigating the spies that he had no time to spare.
Mrs. Liao naturally had the same idea. She glanced at Mr. Liao and said, "Look at what you said. I'm not the kind of gossipy woman. Besides, there's nothing to say. What's wrong with women? Hua Mulan was able to join the army for her father in the past. Don't look down on women."
Su Yao was looking at Mr. Bai Qi in front of him.
She snatched Master Bai Qi from Councillor Yang. She had no intention of stealing the credit from him, but Master Bai Qi had been able to find a substitute to go to the Jinyiwei prison in the capital, and then secretly escape with the help of the southeastern nobles, so he might resort to the same trick again now.
You know, those people who were caught by Su Rong secretly, after being interrogated by Xiao Heng, also gave out a string of Yunnan officials.
So many officials could be bribed by Mu Tong and infiltrated by the forces behind Bai Qiye, so who can guarantee that the people guarding Bai Qiye are reliable
She will only feel at ease if the person is in her own hands.
Besides, she had been planning to meet Mr. Bai Qi for a long time.
Yang really disliked her, but so what? Compared to the risk that the finally captured Bai Qiye might be replaced by another, Yang's fear was nothing.
She has never been someone who is liked by everyone, and she has no intention of changing herself to be liked by everyone.
While she was looking at Master Bai Qi, Master Bai Qi was also looking at her quietly. It was already night when they were outside the Zhang family's mansion before. Even with the lanterns lighting up the sky, they still couldn't see clearly. But now it was different. He looked at the girl in front of him. She was younger than the one he saw last night, but this seemingly gentle girl was actually sharper than a Japanese sword.
