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 give them a lesson!"

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.

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.

What I mean is, I can't control what you do, and now this Commander Yan, who is not one of us, is here, so you'd better leave immediately.

But Inoue Genichirō frowned, looking at Yang Guofu who was acting out of character, and was somewhat surprised.

Inoue Genichirō saw that the beautiful woman sitting on the chair was looking at Yang Guofu with an expressionless face.

Looking at Yan Jingqing's expression again, Inoue Xianichiro suddenly understood something, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Sir Yang, I came here today to talk to you about the embassy expansion. You scolded me like this, which is very disrespectful to me! I need to apologize!"

Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Fortunately, this little Japanese dwarf understood it.

So Yang Guofu was about to say something, but after a pause, he looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Commander Yan, it seems that we have misunderstood. Envoy Inoue is here to discuss the embassy. This matter has already been filed with the Ministry of Industry. State affairs are urgent. I will invite him in first."

Yan Ruyu still said nothing, just looked at Yang Guofu.

Yang Guofu felt a little uneasy when he was looked at like that, after all, he was always guilty.

But he still forced himself to look back at Inoue Genichirō and said, "Please take a seat."

After bowing, Inoue Genichirō walked into the reception hall and sat where Yang Guofu gestured for him to sit.

Then, Yang Guofu said, "Let's put the matter of the Japanese embassy aside for now, but Ambassador Inoue, do you know that you have committed a heinous crime in what happened in the Flower Street today?!"

Inoue Genichirō frowned, pretending not to know, and immediately stood up and asked seriously: "Flower Street? I don't know what we did, Kunitomi-kun, please tell me in detail."

Yan Jingqing felt relieved when he saw how understanding Inoue Genichirō was, and he laughed secretly. In this way, the things that Su Changan had just asked Yan Ruyu to ask for could not be given to her.

and

Thinking of this, Yan Jingqing immediately threw away the idea that he had just thought about for a moment. It would not do. If the censors impeached Su Changan because of this, something might happen. It would not do.

But thinking of this, Yan Jingqing looked at Yan Ruyu.

He found that Yan Ruyu continued to look at Yang Guofu with a calm expression.

This made Yan Jingqing frown. What did it mean that he kept looking at Guofu? And what did it mean that he didn't say a word from the beginning? Did he see through it a long time ago?

Yang Guofu was also delighted. He sat upright and looked at Inoue Genichirō and said, "Today, your people are in the Flower Street."

When it comes to this.

The servant just now came in with another person and said, "Master, Master Jingue's servant said he has something important to tell you."

Yang Guofu looked back at the servant in his house and secretly remembered this man in his heart.

However, when he saw the man following the young boy and saw that man holding a brocade box with great effort, he was immediately stunned.

He remembered that the brocade box looked like this and every time he came up to the well, he would bring a box like this to hold the gold cakes!

By this time, Inoue Genichirō had already figured out the situation here. It was obvious that the beautiful female official was not of the same kind as Yang Guofu. Therefore, he knew that he must not show that he was giving money or asking Yang Guofu to do something for him.

But when he saw the person holding the brocade box, Inoue Genichirō immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. He had forgotten to tell this person from Daxia not to come in.

Yan Ruyu looked at the person holding the brocade box, stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered that it was the person who translated the Japanese language beside the person who was chopped by her with a knife.

After the fight, I didn't pay much attention to where this person went, nor did I look for him, because Yan Ruyu didn't care much about such a minor character.

It seems that he went to the embassy where the Japanese envoy was.

The man originally had a flattering smile on his face, but when he saw Yan Ruyu, he was stunned for a moment and thought that this female official was so beautiful.

But the next moment, the man's expression was stunned.

because

He saw the knife on Yan Ruyu's waist.

The handle of the knife that Yan Ruyu usually uses when fighting against the enemy is made of a rare green bandage, and there is a small green stone at one end of the handle, hence the name of the knife [Green Cui].

The follower of the Japanese envoy saw the masked man pull out such a knife and chop his master at the Shihua Pavilion.

So I remember very clearly that the knife had a green handle and a green stone.

When I saw it, I was naturally stunned.

While watching this, the follower gasped, because the clothes were exactly the same!

The headband on the hair is exactly the same!

This follower could not forget that scene. Not only did he chop his master with a single blow, but he also crushed and stepped on the arms, legs and shoulders of other warriors like a monster.

I will never forget my follower.

So he looked at Yan Ruyu, swallowed his saliva, pursed his lips, and the more he looked, the more he felt that it was the same person. He took two steps back with a look of horror on his face.

But the road was paved with cobbles, and he was holding a heavy brocade box in his arms, so he couldn't stand steadily.

BANG! !

The brocade box fell to the ground, and the golden cake was immediately revealed.

The henchman was sitting on the ground with a look of fear on his face, pointing at Yan Ruyu with trembling fingers, and shouting at Inoue Genichirō with wide eyes: "It's her, it's her, Inoue-sama, she was the one who killed Jiro-sama and Saburo-sama, and she was the one who did those things in the Shikagawa Pavilion."

He had no idea why this person was here, but he thought it was simple: this was Yang's Mansion, so he dared to point it out directly.

After saying this, the henchman looked at Inoue Genichirō and said, "It's her! I won't make a mistake! It's her! Although she was wearing a mask, her sword, clothes, and hairband were all exactly the same! If I hadn't run away quickly, she would have crushed my arms."

"Master Yang! Master Yang, it's her. Catch her quickly. Catch her quickly. My master and I came here just to ask you to catch her. She is right here!!"

After the follower confirmed that the person today was Yan Ruyu, he shouted in panic.

He didn't notice at all that the expressions of Yang Guofu, Inoue, and Yan Jingqing in the hall changed unpredictably when they heard his words.

Yan Ruyu looked at the follower and still said nothing, with no expression on her face. After glancing at the golden cake on the ground, she turned around and continued to look at Yang Guofu.

In fact, Yan Ruyu didn’t know what to say. She felt that she should listen to the young lady and it was better to keep quiet.

However, Yang Guofu started cursing in his heart again, especially when he noticed the look Yan Ruyu gave him after glancing at the gold cake. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like she was questioning him!

He immediately clenched his fists.

Roaring in his heart, he finally saw himself being freed from the situation, and was moving step by step towards a state that had nothing to do with him.

But where the hell did this bastard come from?

While thinking this, Yang Guofu's eyes flashed with ferocity as he looked at Inoue Genichirō on the side.

He is just a Japanese envoy, and he did something like what he did today.

Thinking of this, Yang Guofu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the viciousness in his eyes was clearly visible.

Yan Jingqing even had beads of sweat on his forehead, especially when he saw Yan Ruyu staring at Yang Guofu without saying a word, he felt so guilty!

What to do

What to do!!

Yan Jingqing quickly thought about what to do!

At this time, Yang Guofu roared, "Someone, come here! Catch this bastard on the ground and Inoue Genichirō! Damn it, I'm telling you how could you not know about the Flower Street!"

"You are waiting for me here, right? Now that Commander Yan is here, you dare to give me something blatantly. What? Do you want me to help you with something? Inoue Genichirō! Let me tell you! The person those people under you offended in the Flower Street today is Miss Chang'an, the future Queen of Great Xia!"

"Ms. Chang'an went on a private visit to the Red Street today to investigate the people's sentiments, but she didn't expect you dogs to ruin her mood. Not only did you even dare to draw your swords at someone as noble as her! Bah! You even sent gold and silver to my house. What do you want to do? Do you want me to help you with the embassy affairs, or do you want me to do something that would be insubordinate!"

When Yang Guofu was roaring like this, people from the Yang Mansion immediately came out.

Although they were surprised why the master would give such an order, it had nothing to do with them. They just had to do whatever he told them to do.

So, they immediately arrested Inoue Genichirō, who had a horrified look on his face in the hall.

The followers outside also looked at Yang Guofu in horror.

but

The two people were surprisingly unanimous not because of Yang Guofu's sudden attitude, but because Yang Guofu said that their people had provoked the Queen!

Yan Jingqing didn't expect Yang Guofu to make such a decisive move, but looking at Inoue Genichirō and that rotten-mouthed follower, Yan Jingqing felt that Yang Guofu did the right thing.

Now is the time to let me die rather than let my friends die!

only

Inoue Genichirō immediately realized that it was his brothers and subordinates who did it, so what did it have to do with him? So he looked at Yang Guofu and shouted, "Kuofu-kun, I..."

Bang!!

Just as Inoue Genichirō opened his mouth, Yang Guofu slapped him in the face: "How dare you call me that? My name is Yang Guofu, and I'm a doctor in the Ministry of Works of the Great Xia court. Call me Lord Yang! Someone, come here! Smash the mouth of this ungrateful Japanese thief so that he can't utter a single word!"

Yan Jingqing knew what Yang Guofu meant, so he quickly added: "The man outside is the same! Lord Yang is so honest, but he dared to bring such dirty gold and silver here, and even called the Japanese his master. As a Daxia person, he has no dignity at all. Take him out and beat him to death with sticks!!"

Inoue Genichirō and that guy immediately realized something.

But the two of them haven't spoken yet.

The slaps from the people in the Yang Mansion landed directly on Inoue Genichirō's face.

The follower was directly dragged away.

The slap was fierce.

Every time Inoue Genichirō opened his mouth, he was immediately slapped in the face. Especially the man from the Yang Mansion who understood his master's intention, pinched Inoue Genichirō's neck and slapped him hard, not giving Inoue Genichirō a chance to say a word.

Yan Ruyu was a little surprised when she saw this scene, but she still looked at Yang Guofu without saying a word.

Yang Guofu immediately bowed to Yan Ruyu and said, "Commander Yan, you must testify for me. This island barbarian actually wanted to bribe me under the pretext of discussing the embassy with me. And I have no idea what his entourage just said about wanting me to catch you. But that person holding the gold cake must be thinking of bribing me. But I have captured them now, and I will report this to His Majesty tomorrow morning. But please testify for me, Commander Yan."

Yan Ruyu continued to look at Yang Guofu without saying a word.

Yang Guofu looked at Yan Ruyu who was silent, and he was completely frightened. After thinking for a while, even though his heart was bleeding, he immediately said, "Oh, now I remember, I have been collecting a set of four treasures of the study that the former calligrapher Wang Xiangzhi used. They are extremely precious and are most suitable for practicing calligraphy. I also have a black tortoise inkstone. Please help me pass it to Chang'an and to the Queen."

That's all.

Yang Guofu watched Yan Ruyu continue to look at him and still said nothing.

I wanted to curse in my heart.

But can I curse now?

No way!

And if I could have cleared myself completely just now, everything that happened next would have been easy.

But unfortunately, I met a bastard like that!

It’s difficult to pick it out now!

Especially now, the Empress might be waiting to catch me in the act!

Seeing Yan Ruyu remained silent, Yang Guofu's heart was bleeding again, and then he said with pain: "Commander Yan, please also tell the queen that the Ministry of Works should still have deposits, but now Yang is not the minister, I will propose to the Ministry of Works to repair the residences of the palace maids in the palace."

Hearing this

Yan Ruyu nodded, remembering what her mistress had said: after delivering the gifts and agreeing to the task, she could leave, but she should remember to thank Lord Yang.

So he stood up and clasped his fists towards Yang Guofu: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Yang on behalf of the young lady."

After saying that, he added: "Give me the things, I will take them back with me."

Still straightforward and exceptionally honest.

I was thinking to myself, it’s quite simple, I just need to keep watching, and it turns out that it’s right to listen to the lady!
