That night, no less than a dozen families in the entire capital were broken into by Jin Yiwei, and all offenders were thrown into prison, and those who committed crimes were ransacked on the spot. Even some people who were not deeply involved were suspended for investigation. For a while, the officials in the capital panicked, fearing that the fire would burn themselves.
Compared with the others, Uncle An Jing, the "principal culprit", received the lightest punishment, but was sent to prison. At the same time, news spread that Su Yan, Uncle An Jing's biological daughter, was proclaimed princess by the emperor, and for a while, Uncle An Jing became the envy of everyone.
In other people's minds, the reason why Uncle Anjing's mansion was spared and not ransacked must have something to do with Su Yan, a daughter who was favored by the Holy One and made great contributions. Otherwise, ten Uncle An Jing would not be able to kill this kind of crime of corruption.
Because of this incident, the old lady went to the ancestral hall to kneel for a while, kowtowed to the ancestors, and even asked people to move Aunt Chen's grave into the Su family's ancestral grave afterwards.
Of course, this is something.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Yan, who didn't know that she had once again become a man of the capital, received an unsigned letter after breakfast. When she opened it, there were only two sentences on it.
Princess Jinyang, Aunt Chen.
Please come to Guanjiang Pavilion tomorrow at noon to have a talk.
Su Yan held the letter paper tightly, and asked the door boy who delivered the letter: "What does the person who delivers the letter look like?"
The doorman thought hard for a long time, then stuttered to describe: "It's just an ordinary person, dressed in fine cloth. As for the appearance...it's the appearance of an ordinary person, even a small one can't describe it."
Su Yan threw the letter paper into the basin not far away, and the water immediately dispersed the ink on it. Su Yan looked at the ball of paper that gradually became blurred, and said calmly: "Yunquan, follow me to meet this one."
Knowing Princess Jinyang's life experience, and using this to threaten her, no matter who sent this letter to her, it is not a good person.
There was still some time before noon, Su Yan first entered the palace to thank her, and after she came back, she asked someone to carry the gold rewarded by the emperor yesterday to the bank. One tael of gold can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver. Yesterday the emperor rewarded ten thousand taels of gold, but only exchanged two hundred thousand taels of silver. After leaving the bank, Su Yan looked at the thin pile of bank notes in her hand, and suddenly sighed that she was still doing business to make money. As soon as this thought crossed Su Yan's mind, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
But before she could think about it carefully, she heard Yunquan remind: "Girl, it's almost noon."
Time flies so fast? Su Yan looked up at the direction of the sun, got on the sedan chair and went to the appointment.
Guanjiang Pavilion is not far away from Su Yan's location, and it took less than two quarters of an hour to arrive. The moment the sedan chair settled down, Su Yan opened the window screen and took a look at the restaurant. The restaurant has three floors, and there are many people coming in and out at the door.
"Girl, we're here." It was Yunquan's voice.
As soon as Su Yan got off the sedan chair, a man dressed as a mistress greeted her: "May I ask if this girl's surname is Su?"
Su Yan nodded slightly.
The little girl immediately showed a brighter smile, bowed and said, "Girl, this way please."
After entering the restaurant, Su Yan looked around the environment first, the first and second floors were almost full of guests, the person who wrote her the letter didn't seem to have too much malice, at least he probably wouldn't treat her here No matter what you do, otherwise you wouldn't choose such a place with a lot of people.
Su Yan followed the mistress directly to the third floor, and stopped at the door of a box, Liu Xiang followed behind Su Yan every step of the way, and Yun Quan watched the surrounding movements vigilantly.
"Girl wait a moment." Saying that, Xiao Er knocked on the door of the box.
As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened from the inside. The moment the door opened, Su Yan saw a man in a brocade suit standing at the window with his back to her.
It is King Qin.
The note was sent by King Qin, Su Yan was a little surprised.
"Please sit down." King Qin turned around, just in time to see Su Yan with surprised eyes. He gave a gesture and walked to the table, and made a "please" gesture to the chair in front of Su Yan.
At the same time, the door of the room was closed by the servant.
Su Yan looked back at the closed door, and then at Yunquan.
There were still two of her maidservants and two guards of King Qin in the room, Su Yan weighed in her heart, and sat down temporarily, looking at the dishes on the table, Su Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. The dishes on this table are all her usual favorites, it seems that King Qin has put in a lot of effort.
Seeing Su Yan sat down, King Qin showed a smile on his face: "I haven't congratulated you yet, Princess Le'an."
Su Yan didn't talk nonsense to King Qin, and asked straight to the point: "What does the prince mean by sending me that note?"
Su Yan was not curious about how King Qin knew that Princess Jinyang belonged to Aunt Chen, what she wanted to know was what King Qin wanted to do
In fact, what King Qin found was enough to put Prince Yan together, but King Qin didn't, which meant that he was going to use this matter to seek greater benefits. Are you trying to threaten her with this matter? Or... a bigger conspiracy, such as using this matter to threaten Prince Yan to support him
"It's nothing interesting, I'm just afraid that you won't be alone with me and use the note to trick you out." King Qin leaned forward with his hands on the table, his face was less than three feet away from Su Yan: "Look, it really worked. It's gone, isn't it?"
Su Yan looked at King Qin with a bit of vigilance, she didn't believe King Qin's answer.
King Qin saw Su Yan's eyes, and felt a little helpless. He thought he hadn't done anything too outrageous, but from the first time they met, he could see the hostility in Su Yan's eyes. , has not changed until now.
"Father found some clues. A few months ago, he sent me to investigate the affairs of Aunt Jinyang. This investigation is not important, but it allowed me to find out something. If my people did not make mistakes, should you Call me... cousin?"
Seeing that Su Yan's face changed, King Qin chuckled and told what he did. At the end, he looked at Su Yan with light eyes: "Why am I willing to make it difficult for you? In this way, you Say, should you thank me?"
After hearing King Qin's words, Su Yan understood, and her expression gradually returned to normal. No wonder she always felt that the way the emperor looked at her these two times was a bit strange. If it was really what King Qin said, it would make sense.
But why King Qin concealed it for her, Su Yan can also guess one or two.
King Qin's answer not only did not make Su Yan feel relaxed, but broke out in a cold sweat. Hypocrites are not the most terrifying, but the most terrifying people are real villains like King Qin. He made no secret of his coveting heart, this feeling made Su Yan very uncomfortable.
"Thank you." Su Yan said blankly, then stood up: "Thank you, can I go?"
"No." King Qin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's still early, why don't we leave after lunch?"
