Chapter 36 Hope
Su Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
What does Hao Mengye mean?
There were people present who were quick-witted. They looked at Shen Zhiyuan, then at Shen Zhiyuan and Ru Jian, and all of them had other ideas.
This Shen Zhiyuan is equivalent to Prince Kong, and Su Dingqin is like Yu Shengsheng who was beaten.
Yu Shengsheng refused to admit it even after being beaten like that, and in public, she had indeed never had any contact with Shen Zhiyuan.
Ru Jian, on the other hand, was the bodyguard of Princess Rongyang. Shen Zhiyuan and Princess Rongyang had already been engaged, so it was not inappropriate for them to meet each other from time to time.
Su Dingqin was sure that it was Yu Shengsheng, just as Hao Mengye was now sure that it was Su Dingqin.
Su Yanshu's eyes deepened slightly, and his mind also turned to this level. He looked at Su Zhiyi with some inquiry.
Su Dingqin's forehead was sweating. He defended himself, "Commander Hao, I am in the capital, more than a thousand miles away from Shunchang. Zou Zhiliang is in Shunchang, very close. How could it be easy for him to take action? How can you blame me?"
Hao Mengye sighed lightly: "I want to know too, but don't worry, there will be evidence, and I will give you justice."
"Come here," he waved his hand gently, "Please ask General Su to go back and question him."
Su Dingqin felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an abyss: "It's not me, it's really not me!"
The old lady held Su Dingqin and said, "Commander Hao, please understand clearly. My son is leading troops outside, and my grandson Dingqin also has military merits. My Su family is loyal to the country and has never had any disloyalty."
"Madam, if it weren't for these contributions, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you."
Hao Mengye said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, the Red Dragon Guards are reasonable. Just make your words clear. Many of the people we have arrested said that they were meritorious officials at the beginning."
Su Dingqin wanted to say something, but Hao Mengye looked around and said, "Oh, you still have some unfinished business here. Why don't you go back and talk about it? We are in a Feng Shui treasure land, so people talk fast."
When Shen Zhiyuan heard this, his hair stood on end: "I... I have nothing to say. I was also victimized today."
Hao Mengye didn't even look at him, but turned back to look at Yu Shengsheng: "Can we go?"
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised and nodded slowly.
She also understood what Hao Mengye said just now. Of course, she knew that Su Dingqin would not hurt Kong Dezhao. Su Dingqin didn't even know that Kong Dezhao was going to Beijing.
So, what does Hao Mengye’s metaphor just now mean?
For her?
Yu Shengsheng herself felt that this idea was too ridiculous.
The Red Dragon Guard, who even makes the Crown Prince give in to them, how could they do that for her?
But what was the point of asking her if she could leave now?
The little relief in Yu Shengsheng's heart was like grass in the spring breeze, once it grew, it could not be suppressed.
What if?
No matter what the reason was, she had to give it a try. If she could get close to the Red Dragon Guard, even if it made others think she was qualified, perhaps, for her, it would be a big step towards leaving the Su family.
Yu Shengsheng bowed: "Thank you."
Hao Mengye narrowed his eyes and looked away: "Take the people back to Zhenning Tower."
With one order, regardless of the Su family's explanations and cries, everything was in vain.
The moment the chain was locked on Su Dingqin, the old lady covered her chest and almost fainted.
Mrs. Su cried until her voice became hoarse: "My son is innocent, my son is innocent!"
Her crying was in vain, so she turned around and saw Yu Shengsheng behind her, and rushed over to grab Yu Shengsheng's hand.
"Your elder brother is innocent. When we get to Zhenqiao Tower, we must ask Commander Hao for mercy! Don't let your elder brother suffer. He has never endured that..."
Yu Shengsheng's arm was in pain from being grabbed by her, and the wounds on her body were bleeding. Her face was pale and she couldn't speak.
"Did you hear what I told you?" Madam Su's eyes turned red as she stared at her. "You are the one who caused today's trouble. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so many problems!"
Yu Shengsheng's eyes were dark as he looked back at her quietly.
At this moment, Madam Su was like a lioness protecting her cubs, gradually showing her anger and baring her fangs.
Yu Shengsheng suddenly understood that Mrs. Su was not ignorant of maternal love, nor was she just weak.
She just doesn't love herself enough.
Jin Baobao slapped Madam Hong Su's hand and said, "Let go! Miss is already so injured, don't you see? When he hit Miss, why didn't you tell her whether she could bear it?"
"What is he afraid of as a grown man? I say he should return the whip he used to beat the young lady first!"
Madam Su reached out and grabbed Jin Baobao: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hao Mengye turned around and asked coldly, "Madam Su, do you want to go with the young general?"
Madam Su immediately stepped forward, patted her chest and asked, "Commander Hao, I, I will go, I will go in place of my son, is that ok?"
"Madam Su, what is this town? A vegetable market? Get out of here!"
Without any explanation, the person was taken away.
Yu Shengsheng was wearing a golden leopard coat, Su Dingqin was chained, and Shen Zhiyuan and Ru Jian were still only wrapped in half a sheet.
Being surrounded and pointed at by people, he walked half the street and finally returned to the town building.
This building has four floors and is the tallest building on this street. The building is black and the roof is like a sword handle. The whole building is like a black sword, firmly rooted in the ground.
The plaque in front of the door is made of black wood and has three large gold-plated characters, which were written by the current emperor himself.
Four people were brought in and imprisoned separately, Su Dingqin in one room, Ru Jian and Shen Zhiyuan in another.
Yu Shengsheng thought she was going to be locked up too, Hao Mengye turned around and looked at her: "Miss Yu, treat your wound first."
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips, leaned forward and asked, "Commander Hao, may I ask why?"
Hao Mengye thought for a moment and said, "I thought you understood it when you said thank you at the Su family."
"Miss Yu, you used this tactic well, following the trend of events and making people think that I am standing up for you."
Yu Shengsheng's pale face turned red. This was indeed what she was thinking.
"I...please forgive me, Commander Hao. I did take advantage of you."
"This is the first time," Hao Mengye said calmly, "Miss Yu, may I ask where did you live and what did you do for a living before coming to the capital?"
"I was in Yujia Village, Songlai County. When I was in the countryside, I couldn't really make a living. I just supported myself and occasionally went hunting in the mountains."
"Have you ever saved anyone?"
Yu Shengsheng's eyebrows jumped, and she remembered that afternoon a few years ago when she went into the mountains to hunt and met a wounded man. When she was about to check if he was still alive, the man suddenly opened his eyes and threw a hidden weapon at her.
The man was very weak at the time. If he had been in a better condition, she would have most likely been killed by the hidden weapon.
Even so, the hidden weapon was extremely powerful and she still has scars on her body.
"How did Commander Hao know?"
"Just tell me, yes or no."
"Yes, it's a young man, in his twenties, handsome." Yu Shengsheng pointed to the end of his right eye, "There is a mole here."
Commander Hao nodded: "That's it, you saved my commander."
Yu Shengsheng's chest beat violently and his eyes lit up.
So, Hao Mengye really went to the Su family for her. What she had been working hard for for so long was finally going to happen!
Hao Mengye noticed her reaction, sneered secretly, and continued speaking.
