He calmed himself down, still thinking about playing it safe with Su Yao: "What do you mean, the county lady? I really don't understand, please explain it to me."
Su Yao really told him clearly.
She didn't hesitate at all. She laughed coldly, looked at Lord Deng with a gloomy face and said, "Lord Deng really wants me to tell you clearly? Then I will tell you clearly. Feng Chun brought people to kill the doctor invited by the Ji family. He wanted to steal the day and let the important prisoner Bai Qiye go. After the incident, he was so vicious that he wanted to kill me to silence me. Now he is dead. I know that Lord Deng and Lord Feng are relatives by marriage, and your two families are old friends. He did this, and you are in charge of the garrison in this area. Don't you know anything about it?"
This statement couldn't be made any clearer.
Su Yao made no secret of his intentions, and Lord Deng was caught off guard. The main reason was that he had not expected that Lord Feng would fail and even lose his life. The relationship between the two families was clear as day if they were investigated, and they could not deny it even if they wanted to. He was stuck in a dilemma and could only continue to play dumb: "I don't understand what the county lady said. Although our two families are in-laws, but..."
For people in the officialdom, putting on an official tone and shirking responsibility are already ingrained in their bones. Lord Deng lied with his eyes open. Su Yao listened coldly for a while, then raised his hand to interrupt him, staring at his eyes: "Lord Deng, what is your relationship with Feng Chun, and whether you are involved in this matter, these are all easy to find out. If you are still stalling for time here and fighting me stubbornly, I don't have that much patience. To tell you the truth, I have sent people to your and Feng Chun's homes. You both have private houses in Kunming. You know how much you will find in your study. You think you want to waste time with me, and think that this way you can delay the matter. Excuse me, it's best to give up this idea, because if any evidence is found to prove that you have colluded with Mr. Bai Qi, the officials of Zhaotong will end up like this, and you will die or not. It doesn't matter, but I believe that you care about the lives of your entire family. Now, I'm giving you a chance. You'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will make you the executioner and let you watch your family's heads fall to the ground with your own eyes!"
These words were extremely strong. Moreover, if a woman said this, even if she was a county lady with a title, it would actually seem a bit ridiculous and absurd.
But, for some reason, when Su Yao said these words in a cold voice while standing on the steps, no one thought what she said was absurd or ridiculous.
Not even Lord Deng can do that.
He stared into Su Yao's eyes, and his scalp tingled at the ruthlessness and decisiveness on her face.
There is no doubt that at this moment, he really believed that as long as he dared to fool around, Su Yao would really dare to kill his wife and children in front of him.
Of course, the court did not punish the offending officials in this way, but everyone knows that in an emergency, one must act according to the rules.
Besides, even if he really killed him, who could help him
Relying on Mouton
Or the people from the southeast
Su Yao was waiting for his decision.
As time passed, Lord Deng really felt that this should be the most difficult period in his life.
He was so anxious that cold sweat kept coming out of his head. After a long time, he didn't know how long it was, he heard Su Yao cough lightly, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "County Princess, I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Feng Chun is indeed Lord Wei's right-hand man. We were left in Kunming by the Lord, so when Lord Wei got into trouble, Master Bai Qi came to us..."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Lord Deng did not dare to hesitate any longer and told everything he knew about the officials in Kunming who were involved in the matter, including those who colluded with Mu Tong, those who accepted benefits from Mu Tong, and those who leaked the news to Mu Tong, asking Mu Tong to send people to assassinate him.
He confessed everything.
Su Rong snorted softly.
Su Yao was already looking at him: "Brother, I'm going to trouble you to arrest him."
Su Rong patted his sister's shoulder and said, "Well, leave it to me."
He also wanted Su Yao to go and rest first.
Su Yao shook his head, his expression becoming solemn again: "Master Ji is still inside. Someone just went to ask Doctor Shen to come over. I'll go in and take a look."
After all, the other person was injured because of Su Yao. Su Rong followed Su Yao in. Mrs. Ji was so frightened at first that her legs were weak when she came in. Especially when she heard in the yard that her son was injured for blocking the knife for Su Yao, even a steady person like her couldn't help crying. But at this time, when Su Yao and the others came in again, Mrs. Ji had already calmed down.
Seeing Su Yao and Su Rong coming in, Mrs. Ji stood up hurriedly, wiped the tears from her eyes, and reassured Su Yao and Su Rong: "Divine Doctor Shen has examined him and removed the knife for him. He said that it would not affect his life and future actions. It's really Amitabha."
Even after such a thing happened, Mrs. Ji was able to maintain such an attitude. She did not vent her anger on others, nor did she blame others. Her mind and vision were truly broad. Su Rong felt a little sorry and thanked Mrs. Ji solemnly.
Mrs. Ji waved her hand and said, "To be frank, a man should protect a woman. If he doesn't know how to stand up at this time, then what's the use of him? Master, don't take it to heart. Besides, it's just an injury, it's not a big deal."
After hearing what Mrs. Ji said, Su Rong and his sister felt even more guilty.
Su Rong shook his head directly: "Mrs. Ji, what you said is not right. It is human nature to cherish one's life. Young Master Ji's ability to stand up is not what you said is a matter of course. We can only be grateful."
As they were talking, Xiao Heng and others heard the news and rushed over.
At first, when they heard that Ji Yunting was injured, Grandpa Ji and Master Ji were extremely worried and almost fainted. Master Ji was the most outstanding young master in the clan, and the family had high hopes for him and didn't want him to make any mistakes. But when they heard that Master Ji was injured while saving Su Yao, and that although the injury was serious, it was not life-threatening, they both felt relieved.
Now that he had seen Ji Yunting's injuries with his own eyes, Old Man Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been doing business for many years and now has quite a businessman's temperament. It must be said that this time, his grandson has really secured a lifetime of wealth.
He felt that his grandson was truly a lucky and brave man, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
