but
After hearing this, Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing looked at each other and their hearts trembled.
This is a warning!
They said they came to inform you, but in fact they were saying that you, Yang Guofu, sheltered the Japanese. No one in your Yang family can be held responsible for the crime you committed, so you'd better take care of yourself!
However, the two of them were so smart that they naturally understood immediately that Su Changan might have some other purpose besides giving a warning.
I'm afraid he is asking for benefits by using Your Majesty's name!
Do you really think that I, Yang Guofu, am the fat pig you raised?! If you want to eat meat, come and cut the meat, right?
Yang Guofu was very upset. How dare you, a person who is not even the queen, come to compare yourself to me? !
Yan Jingqing coughed when he saw that Yang Guofu was unhappy.
Yang Guofu was angry, but he did not show it. After adjusting himself, he immediately said righteously: "Miss Chang'an is very observant. This matter is serious. Thank you for reminding me. No matter what I am, Yang Guofu, I will never collude with the Japanese. I will also have someone investigate this matter. This Japanese is so vicious, but he wants to harm me and the entire Yang family!"
Yan Ruyu looked at Yang Guofu and thought that it was exactly the same as what the young lady said.
So, she continued to follow Su Changan's instructions and said, "The Japanese we encountered today were really ferocious. More than a dozen of them drew their swords and rushed towards the young lady. I thought that His Majesty should investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, where did the Japanese get the courage to do this? It can only be said that they have been arrogant and domineering for so many years. The young lady said that Lord Yang should investigate it thoroughly. If His Majesty investigates, it will be Lord Yang's fault."
Yang Guofu clenched his fists, already clearly certain that this bitch was here to ask him for something.
The old official had heard this, and if Yang Guofu still didn't understand, then he would be stupid. But Yang Guofu pretended not to understand! So he said: "When Commander Yan returns, please help me thank Miss Chang'an. Please also tell Miss Chang'an that I will investigate it thoroughly, and will also report it jointly with Lord Yan, and let the lords of the Honglu Temple talk to the Japanese about this matter. How dare the Japanese dare to do this in the capital of the Great Xia Empire!!"
Yan Ruyu was stunned, because according to what the young lady said, there was a small chance that Yang Guofu would give something, but a high chance that he would give nothing and just say thank you.
And as expected, what the lady said came true, and I really thanked her with a high probability.
but
Su Changan also told her that if she didn't give it to her, she had to ask for it.
But
How and what you want.
Su Changan let Yan Ruyu think about it herself.
Yan Ruyu didn't know what to say.
She didn't understand all the words. She only knew who were the bad guys and who were her own people. She just ignored the bad guys and said nothing.
So after thinking for a moment
Yan Ruyu saw that Yang Guofu didn't move, but kept looking at her, so she was sure that he was not going to give it to her. So she thought about how to ask for it politely, but she couldn't think of anything, so she just said straightforwardly: "Master Yang, the young lady has been practicing calligraphy recently, and she is in need of some better pens, inkstones, and paper. I heard that you have collected a lot of good four treasures of the study. Can I take some away?"
Yang Guofu was stunned for a moment.
Yan Jingqing was also stunned for a moment.
The two looked at Yan Ruyu in surprise.
Both of them could tell that Su Changan was imitating the emperor and wanted to use Yang Guofu as a fat pig to eat.
But
Even the emperor employed Tian Gui and Zhao Ling to act in a play.
When I come to you, I just ask for it, right?
And
The Japanese trouble has nothing to do with me. I have cleaned my bottom line in the past. Even if they investigate, they can't find anything to blame me. At most, it's just rumors.
But this time, what did I do!
Just sitting at home!
So you come to my house and threaten me for no apparent reason, and then you ask for something? !
Yang Guofu suppressed his anger.
Yan Ruyu then added: "And the young lady asked me to ask you, does the Ministry of Works have any money left? Winter is coming, and some of the palace servants' residences need to be repaired."
As soon as these words came out.
Yang Guofu was even more shocked. What the hell!
But before Yang Guofu could do anything, a servant came running over, looked at Yan Ruyu, and became a little hesitant.
But Yang Guofu said directly: "Is there someone else coming?"
The servant hesitated for a moment and then said, "The Japanese envoy, Inoue-sama, has arrived. He wants to see you for something important."
Chapter 171: Ruyuer who listens to the Queen
Hearing the boy's words, the three people present were all stunned.
Especially Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing.
The two of them worked together to get themselves and the Japanese man out, but suddenly, the Japanese man came to the door himself, and luckily he didn't die at this time!
Yan Jingqing was originally still thinking about how to help Yang Guofu deal with the matter of Yan Ruyu just asking directly for something, and also the matter of depositing silver in the Ministry of Works.
But this sudden moment made Yan Jingqing subconsciously look at Yang Guofu and then at Yan Ruyu.
The deputy commander looked at Yang Guofu expressionlessly.
I'm not afraid of you laughing, nor am I afraid of you having any other expressions. I'm just afraid that you have a blank expression and I don't know what I'm thinking!
Yan Jingqing had dealt with Yan Ruyu several times.
Not good at officialdom.
To put it bluntly, you can tell what someone is thinking by looking at the expression on his face.
But ever since Yan Ruyu followed Su Changan, she has had an expressionless look on her face more and more often, and it is impossible to tell what she is thinking.
Just like now.
Yang Guofu was stunned, and looked back at Yan Ruyu. Just as he was about to speak, he cursed in his heart, then turned his head back to look at the boy, and almost said the word "get out".
But if I say it out loud, it would be like trying to cover up one's own guilt.
So he immediately changed his words and said, "Let those Japanese in!"
The servant saw that his master was in a bad mood and was a little scared, so he nodded quickly: "Yes."
After answering, he immediately turned and walked out the door.
Yan Jingqing also stood up and cursed: "What do these Japanese mean, Guo Fu, do they want to bribe you? Commander Yan is here today. If these Japanese want to bribe you, you must punish them!"
Yan Ruyu looked at Yan Jingqing: "It may not be a bribe. Why do you know it is a bribe, Lord Yan?"
Yan Ruyu didn’t actually think much about it, she just asked what she was curious about.
But when these words came out, Yan Jingqing was a little surprised, and immediately became nervous, and then immediately said: "I mean, if you think about it, Commander Yan, something like that just happened, and it immediately came to Guofu, it is obvious that they want Guofu to do something, right? That's why I think that way. After all, the sins committed by the Japanese today are unforgivable!!"
Yang Guofu looked at Yan Jingqing, not knowing what to say. He cursed these bastards in his heart! They got me into trouble for no reason!
Yan Ruyu nodded and was about to say something else, but she suddenly remembered that when the young lady was teaching her what to say today, she joked that the Japanese people today were narrow-minded and didn't know our identities. They would probably try every possible way to retaliate and save those who were imprisoned, so they might go to find Yang Guofu.
At that time, Yan Ruyu asked, "What if I encounter the Japanese when I go there? Will it be useless?"
Su Changan answered her, "It's not that coincidental. Besides, if you are here, Yang Guofu will not really let you know that the Japanese man is here. If it is really that coincidental, and Yang Guofu has a stupid teammate next to him, you are so stupid. After you finish what I just taught you, just look at Yang Guofu. If you say something wrong, Yang Guofu will find a loophole and get out."
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu secretly blamed herself for speaking just now.
After all, the young lady said that the purpose of coming here is to force Yang Guofu, because this matter is related to some things that His Majesty wants to do.
Moreover, now Yang Guofu is forced to take the money and good things.
Isn’t it the same as two years ago when Yang Guofu forced His Majesty to authorize those things?
Yan Jingqing looked at Yan Ruyu who was silent, frowned a little, and glanced at Yang Guofu.
Yang Guofu was also looking at him, and said, "Lord Yan and Commander Yan are here today, and this Japanese man has come to see me. You two can just testify for me, otherwise I really can't clear myself no matter what."
Yan Jingqing immediately agreed: "That's right!"
As they spoke, the two looked at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu did not make any statement, nor did she say anything. She just looked at Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing.
Yan Jingqing and Yang Guofu waited for a moment, and when they saw Yan Ruyu was just looking at them, they frowned.
And at this time.
The servant came in with the Japanese envoy Inoue Genichirō.
Yan Ruyu looked at the Japanese envoy. He was taller than those who were beaten today, but there was no difference in other aspects. He was also wearing Japanese clothes.
As soon as the Japanese envoy came in, he saw Yan Ruyu and Yan Jingqing.
He had met Yan Jingqing many times.
He was a little unfamiliar with Yan Ruyu, but looking at her clothes, Inoue Genichirō thought that she should also be a nobleman of Daxia.
Therefore, when he saluted, he also saluted towards Yan Ruyu.
However, Inoue Genichirō noticed that Yang Guofu looked at him with a rather unhappy expression.
Is it because I didn't bring the gift with me? I always held it in my hand before.
Thinking of this, Inoue Genichirō said in Daxia Mandarin: "Lord Yang, gold cake."
Just then, Inoue Genichirō spoke.
Yang Guofu immediately said: "Get lost!!"
Inoue Genichirō was stunned for a moment, because every time he came, Lord Yang Guofu always entertained him warmly. Today, he didn't invite him in, which he could forgive, because he heard that he was demoted. But his power was still there. That's why he came.
But this mouth tells you to get out!
Yang Guofu continued to curse: "Island barbarians! You have done such unforgivable things under the feet of my great emperor Xia, and you even want to harm me to the point of being unjust and unkind! Commander Yan is here today, and he will definitely testify for me!"
Yang Guofu actually said everything that needed to be said.
All that should be hinted has been hinted.
