Chapter 170 The Queen said: If Lord Yang doesn’t give anything, then just ask for it!

Everyone was extremely surprised.

They all looked at the three masked men walking outside.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the masked Su Changan's back.

Look at that back figure that seems to be so lonely.

Looking at Liu Baishi's ecstatic face and admiring eyes, everyone found it even more incredible.

Could it be that this boy is really very good-looking? !

So beautiful that even Miss Liu Baishi is like this? !

Everyone's eyes were filled with more and more disbelief. The men and women in front of the entire flower pavilion didn't know what to say. They just kept looking at the backs of the three people who were leaving.

After leaving Huajie for a distance

Linghua and Yan Ruyu took off their masks.

However, when the two saw Su Changan was about to take off the mask, they immediately stopped him.

Linghua said immediately, "Miss, please don't take it off. Although we are out of the red-light district, you are so pretty and beautiful. If you take off the mask, there will be so many girls on the street. What if they all come up to you?"

Yan Ruyu nodded aside: "That's right."

Su Changan was helpless. Although he was very good-looking, it wasn’t that bad!

However, if you don't want to take it off, then don't take it off. You can do whatever you want while wearing it anyway.

Yan Ruyu was relieved to see that Su Changan didn't take it off, and then asked, "Are we going to the Su Mansion next?"

Su Changan nodded: "Well, since we are out, let's go and see. Didn't Lin Han leave the Imperial Examination Hall today? Let's go and see her."

However, looking at Yan Ruyu, Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "But you should go to Yang Guofu first, then..."

When he said this, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu's honest face, helpless for a moment and then said: "I will teach you how to say it. When you go there, just talk to them according to what I say. Then, if Yang Guofu wants to give you something, you take it. If he doesn't give it to you, you ask for it."

Yan Ruyu nodded, but considering Su Changan's request, Yan Ruyu still said: "Let's go to the Su Mansion first, and then I'll go to the Yang Mansion. Otherwise, I won't worry about the young lady's safety."

Su Changan thought about it for a moment and nodded without objecting.

The route to the Su Mansion was familiar. Along the way, Su Changan taught Yan Ruyu what to say when she went to see Yang Guofu.

Yan Ruyu remembered it carefully.

Linghua on the other side rarely leaves the palace, or it could be said that she has basically never left the palace since she entered it as a child.

So everything around me is new to me, just like when I first left the palace.

After arriving at the Su Mansion, Yan Ruyu watched Su Changan and the others enter the Su Mansion, and then walked towards the Yang Mansion.

Faced with Su Changan's sudden arrival, the entire Su Mansion was filled with surprise and joy.

It’s just different from the Su Mansion.

The atmosphere at the Yang Mansion seemed a little gloomy.

In other words, ever since Yang Guofu was demoted five levels three days ago, the entire Yang Mansion has been in a gloom.

In addition, due to the closed door policy, the bustling scene in front of Yang's mansion is no longer the same as before.

Yan Jingqing came in from the side door.

The two men sat by the stove, looking grim. Yan Jingqing looked at Yang Guofu, who had a worried look on his face. After thinking for a while, he said, "Guofu, if you think positively about this matter, it's actually okay. Although those people in our Menxia Province were all sold out by Zhu Kewen, the highest rank of those people was just a secretary, and the other two were just recorders. They were actually nothing. They were dug out, and although they confessed a lot honestly, they knew very little about us. All in all, it can be regarded as helping us eliminate some hidden dangers in advance."

As he spoke, Yan Jingqing picked up the teacup on the table beside the stove and handed it to Yang Guofu.

Yang Guofu's face was extremely ugly. After taking the teacup, he looked at Yan Jingqing and said, "He didn't tell us anything at all. This is the most worrying thing! Besides, I haven't even seen my father until now. I don't even know what happened during the interrogation."

Yan Jingqing also sighed.

After the interrogation, the Grand Tutor moved to another house and has been refusing visitors ever since. Even when Yang Guofu came to visit him, he refused to see him at all!

As for the court, things seem to be calm recently, with the Queen Mother's party handling all the follow-up matters.

But at this time, a wailing sound came into the ears of the two.

Yang Guofu was already upset, and when he heard the wailing, he threw the cup on the ground, stood up, opened the door and yelled, "Cry, cry, cry! Dad is not dead! I am not dead either! You are just crying here all day long!"

Yan Jingqing quickly pulled Yang Guofu to sit down and closed the door.

Then he picked up some debris on the ground and looked at Yang Guofu and said, "It's normal for Wangshu to cry because such a big business is gone. Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Yang Guofu had a look of disappointment on his face: "When I gave her business before, I told her to be more restrained, but she didn't listen! Now all the people in the Queen Mother's party have betrayed us, so many people in the business chain have been involved, not to mention the huge loss of money, but it was all taken away by His Majesty. Who can I blame!"

Yan Jingqing frowned.

The Queen Mother had always been involved in the Yang family's business, so naturally this time she exposed all the matters including tax evasion, smuggling, etc.

Naturally, they were taken away directly by His Majesty, leaving only the shops in the capital.

But there was nothing left of the truly profitable trade routes.

Yan Jingqing was also involved here and got dividends, but what can he do? Now the situation has suddenly become like this, it’s good enough if he can protect himself.

But seeing Yang Guofu's expression, Yan Jingqing said, "Don't think too much, it will be fine in a few days. Now is already a turbulent time. And I heard that Eighth Prince Xia Zhixu has been restless since he returned to Yandi. This time when Eighth Prince sneaked back, His Majesty will probably focus all his attention on that place, as well as her wedding with Su Changan and the students' palace examinations. We can breathe a sigh of relief."

Yang Guofu clenched his fists when he heard about the palace examination. "Damn it, I was wondering why so many names were given out this year. It seems that she had already thought of the Queen Mother's people, and our people would be lost on a large scale, so she let these students take over! And they got such a great reputation because of it."

But after saying this, Yang Guofu looked at Yan Jingqing and said, "You can't contact Yu Yang and his people anymore. If they come to find you, just tell them that it depends on their abilities. If you can't get on the B list after all the honors you've given us, go back home."

Yan Jingqing hesitated to speak, but after thinking for a while, he said: "Don't say angry words. If they really don't pass the exam, they still need our recommendation. After all, those people's families have paid a lot of money in the past few years. If this matter is not handled, there will be trouble. And..."

When Yang Guofu said this.

The voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Master, the commander of the Chixia Army, Yan, is here. He wants to tell you about the trouble caused by the Japanese."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guofu subconsciously asked, "Is it Commander Yan or Commander Yan?"

The servant immediately said, "It's Commander Yan Ruyuyan."

Yang Guofu heaved a sigh of relief, but frowned, wondering, "Damn it, why would the Japanese come to me when they're causing trouble?"

Yan Jingqing came over and advised, "Don't be so arrogant. Maybe they know that you accepted money from the Japanese and helped cover up many things, so they are here to pick a fight. I will go with you to see Yan Ruyu."

Yang Guofu nodded, but looked at Yan Jingqing and said, "Okay, that person is an eighth-grade master. Although he is not as good as Yan Yunxiao, she can find out even if you hide it."

Yan Jingqing nodded.

Yan Ruyu was sitting in the reception hall. When she saw Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing, she was not surprised at all.

Firstly, I had already sensed that Yan Jingqing was there, and secondly, it was normal for these two to get together since they were close friends.

Yan Ruyu clasped his fists and looked at Yang Guofu and the other man: "Master Yang, Master Yan."

Yang Guofu immediately bowed and said, "No, no, I am just a doctor now, I cannot ask Commander Yan to bow."

Yan Jingqing smiled and said, “Sit down, sit down, don’t be polite, just treat it as your own home.”

After sitting down and exchanging some meaningless pleasantries, Yan Ruyu got straight to the point: "I came here because Miss Chang'an and I encountered some problems in Huajie."

Immediately

Yan Ruyu told the whole story of what happened in Huajie.

Snapped!

Just after he finished speaking, Yang Guofu slammed the table and stood up. "This bunch of bastards, a tiny barbarian country, was civilized only because of the kindness of our ancestors. Now they dare to draw their swords at will under the feet of our emperor?! Do they really think this is a place for them, a small barbarian, to show off their power? I will report them to the court tomorrow. If I don't teach them a lesson, won't they dare to bring their troops to our territory in the future?!"

Yang Guofu looked furious.

Yan Jingqing was also furious and said: "How dare a mere Japanese do such a thing!"

But after saying that, Yan Jingqing immediately asked with concern: "Miss Changan, are you okay?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Miss, it's alright."

Yan Jingqing immediately laughed at himself: "I forgot that Commander Yan is by Miss Chang'an's side, how could Miss be in trouble. It's just that..."

At this point, Yan Jingqing glanced at Yang Guofu and then at Yan Ruyu and said, "It's just that, since the Japanese are causing trouble, we should report it to the Honglu Temple or Jingzhao Prefecture. But since this is about Miss Chang'an, we should also report it to His Majesty. Why did Commander Yan come here to find Lord Yang?"

Yang Guofu also showed a puzzled look on his face: "Yes, Commander Yan also knows that I am just a small doctor in the Ministry of Works. Even if I want to help with the Japanese matter, I can't do much."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu clasped her fists towards Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing, thinking about what Su Changan had taught her, and said, "The young lady sent me here because she heard that someone had provoked the Japanese before, but Lord Yang tripped them up. The Japanese were fined, but the provoked person was punished. She asked me to come and tell Lord Yang about this matter. Could you please, for the sake of your majesty, not bother her about provoking the Japanese this time?"

Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing looked at each other.

It turns out that he is here to cause trouble.

And what kind of confusing right and wrong is this? Listen for yourself, is this the same thing as the story you just told?

But Yang Guofu was immediately annoyed when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and jumped up. "Who slandered me? How could I collude with the Japanese? Did I have dinner with the Japanese because of the embassy construction, so there are rumors that I colluded with the Japanese? Rumors, rumors! The official in the Ministry of Personnel who was implicated by the Queen Mother's party this time, didn't he show off his power everywhere because he had some connection with the manager of my mansion? But I didn't know it at all! Such a villain, such a villain! I'm so angry, I'm so angry! "

Yang Guofu's words immediately made himself clear.

He was even more indignant: "I will report these Japanese to the court tomorrow! And Commander Yan, you must help me make it clear to Miss Chang'an. What virtue and ability does Yang have to bother with Miss Chang'an? Miss Chang'an is the future queen mother of Daxia. And if Yang were here, I would want to kill all the Japanese pirates! It's just that Miss Chang'an is as kind as a bodhisattva, and she has compassion for those worse than pigs and dogs!! And it was clearly the Japanese who caused the trouble, how did it become Miss Chang'an who provoked the Japanese? Commander Yan, don't say these things!"

Yan Jingqing also stood up and said, "I heard that some Japanese were released safely after causing trouble. The Jingzhao prefect who tried the case was dismissed early. At that time, there were rumors that the Japanese were bailed out by Lord Yang, but later it was verified that it was only the Jingzhao prefect's problem. Is there a misunderstanding here? Commander Yan, don't worry. After I go back, I will immediately write a memorial to ask for an order to investigate this matter. The Japanese not only acted like monsters and demons under the feet of my great Xia emperor, but also slandered the ministers in the court! This matter is of great importance! It can't just end like this."

"Besides, I have been in the court for so long, and I know very well that Lord Yang and the Japanese have nothing to do with each other. Many people in the court can testify to this!"

Yang Guofu's remarks, coupled with Yan Jingqing's supplement, the two worked in perfect harmony, not only putting all the blame on the Japanese, but also creating an image of themselves as innocent and knowing nothing.

Especially the two of them looked very excited.

Yan Ruyu thought of what Su Changan had said to her: just keep talking and just watch whatever those two people say.

Um.

It really is like acting.

I saw that the two of them stopped talking.

Yan Ruyu continued, "Don't worry, my lords. I haven't finished talking just now. The young lady said that others persuaded her to ask Lord Yang to plead for mercy, but the young lady said that she absolutely did not believe it because she felt that Lord Yang would never do such a thing. So I was specially asked to come here today to tell Lord Yang that someone said this to her. This means that someone wants to harm Lord Yang and accuse him of colluding with foreign races, sheltering foreign races, and attempting to cause chaos in the capital of Daxia. This is a serious crime. Lord Yang can't bear it, and the Yang family can't bear it either."

Yan Ruyu followed Su Changan's instructions word for word.

Because Su Changan also expected that Yang Guofu would definitely not admit it.

However, he could not directly say that he came to Yang Guofu to talk about the Japanese, although he knew that the Japanese were so arrogant because they relied on the protection of some ministers including Yang Guofu.

But it’s good to know it in your heart.
