If it were to be told, it would surely spread throughout the capital.
Bai Qingqing nodded slightly, looking like she was about to cry.
If you don’t know, you would think that Chen Xiu betrayed her.
"That day I went to Bai Mansion to look for Bai Siye, and I ran into you and a scholar secretly talking in the alley. Is this true?" Since that was the case, Chen Xiu spoke frankly.
Bai Qingqing's tears fell immediately and she clutched the handkerchief to her chest.
"I just wanted to help Wenbo because he was from a poor family. How could you falsely accuse me in public? How would other girls view me?"
[Yo~Wenbo~] Su Yun learned it in her mind.
Su Bing couldn't help but pull Su Yun's cheeks.
You don't learn your lessons well every day. What kind of accent do you sing?
"Dad, what are you doing?" Su Yun looked up and said in a low voice.
Su Bing shook his head, "Nothing, Dad just thinks you're so cute."
【Why is my dad so weird?】
As soon as Su Yun finished complaining, her attention was attracted by the maid beside Bai Qingqing.
She actually knelt down, and her crying was exactly the same as Bai Qingqing's.
"Master Chen, how could you misunderstand my young lady? My young lady is kind-hearted and has always been helping poor families. She has absolutely nothing to do with that scholar."
When the maid saw someone leaning over to look at her, she suddenly raised her voice again.
"Could it be that Master Chen has a lover and that's why he broke off the engagement with my young lady?"
"Ke'er, don't talk nonsense. Brother Xiu is not that kind of person. He will definitely marry me after this misunderstanding is resolved. I have waited for Brother Xiu for three years, so this little while won't bother me." Bai Qingqing sobbed and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Chen Xiu was really fed up with this crying look.
He said coldly.
"Do you think I'm blind? Didn't you see that the two of you were almost kissing each other?"
"Someone, send Miss Bai back!"
This time, Chen Xiu directly tore his face off.
Bai Qingqing didn't expect Chen Xiu to be so ruthless and actually say this.
But no matter what, she, a weak woman, could not withstand these guards.
He could only be sent back to the Bai Mansion obediently.
Rumors spread the fastest, and the gossip has already reached Bai Siye's ears.
It is conceivable what will be Bai Qingqing's fate.
[So this is the reason why Master Xiu broke off the engagement. Fortunately I saw it, otherwise it would be too late to find out after the marriage.]
Su Yun nodded.
Chen Xiu didn't want to hear about cuckolding anymore, so he walked straight towards Su Jiaojiao.
"Miss Su, there is no time to lose. I'd better take you back to the Chen Mansion first."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao knew that Chen Xiu must have a lot of things to do, so she didn't dare to delay.
She simply waved goodbye to Su Yun.
At this moment, dozens of constables came running in unison and surrounded all the entrances and exits of South Street.
[What's going on? Why is it so difficult to go home?] Su Yun sighed.
The newly appointed Jingzhao Yin stepped out from among the detectives.
He held his hands in fists in front of him.
The maroon official robe made even the material look more gorgeous when worn.
Chen Xiu did not know the new Jingzhao Yin.
I just heard that this person seemed to appear out of nowhere and his name was Zhao Qingzhu.
He stepped forward and bowed, "Zhao Zhaoyin, what happened?"
"Minister Su was assassinated, and Shaoqing Shan injured the opponent, who fled to the alleys of South Street. After hearing the news, I came here to assist Shaoqing Shan." Zhao Qingzhu bowed.
"Where was my grandfather assassinated?" Su Jiaojiao asked.
Zhao Qingzhu replied, "Of course it's in Shan Shaoqing's mansion."
Su Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew she couldn't appear too calm as someone was still watching her.
She wanted to run outside in a hurry, but was stopped by the police.
"What are you doing? I want to find my grandfather." Su Jiaojiao glared at the constable.
Zhao Qingzhu pressed down the detective's knife, "Miss Su, I understand that you are worried about Minister Su. But everyone present is a suspect. Only those who are checked for injuries can leave, and you are no exception."
"Then check it quickly!" Su Jiaojiao said fiercely.
Zhao Qingzhu waved his hand and a female servant came out.
The maid was responsible for checking the women, while the constable was responsible for checking the men.
Su Jiaojiao passed the inspection quickly. She had to perform the whole act. Just as she was about to run to Shan's house, she heard Zhao Qingzhu say.
"Your grandfather was sent to the Imperial Hospital by Wu Chun."
The Imperial Medical Bureau was in the palace and she couldn't get in at all.
There are three entrances and exits in Nanjie Lane.
Soon it was Su Yun's family's turn, and they all passed the inspection.
Then, more and more people left.
Su Yun and her family did not leave, but waited far away for Wang Erniu and Tian Shufen to come back.
The cattle seller is on North Street, and you have to go through the third exit of South Street Alley.
Checking is important, and you cannot go in and out, you can only find the nearest exit.
Su Yun couldn't help but admire Su Jiaojiao when she saw that she looked like she had lost her soul.
[This acting is so good. ]
Then Su Yun also squatted down, "Sister Jiaojiao, don't cry, Grandpa Shangshu will be fine."
When it comes to acting, Su Bing only admires Su Yun.
There are a lot of things in my heart, but I can say something else with my mouth.
He shook his head helplessly.
Just then, Shan Qingfeng also came out.
He was wary of Zhao Qingzhu who suddenly appeared.
"Zhao Zhaoyin, you are really well-informed."
It can be said that as soon as he chased the man in black into the alley of South Street, Zhao Qingzhu brought the constables to surround the entrance and exit.
Shan Qingfeng smiled, but it was not a smile.
"If I didn't know, I would have thought you had planted spies in my house."
"Mr. Shan, you must be joking. How could I have any ill will towards you?" Zhao Qingzhu smiled with his lips curled, and he emphasized the last sentence.
Unfortunately, Shan Qingfeng was so focused on whether there was any conspiracy that he didn't notice anything at all.
He and General Guan were preparing to perform a play.
People were arranged to ambush nearby.
As luck would have it, the emperor regained consciousness and summoned General Guan.
He was informed by his subordinates that Nan Yuechu had been robbed from prison. He was about to rush to the Dali Temple, but halfway there he realized something was wrong and rushed back.
As a result, "Minister Su" was injured, and he hurriedly chased after the man in black.
He injured the man in black, but also lost him.
Zhao Qingzhu arrived just after him, and Shan Qingfeng had to be on guard.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly.
Su Yun felt that Zhao Qingzhu looked particularly familiar.
It’s not the face, nor the temperament, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Unable to figure it out, she shook her head and gave up.
Chen Xiu secretly glanced at Zhao Qingzhu. He always felt that the other party knew Shan Qingfeng.
Just when he was about to ask, a familiar voice came.
"What's going on? Such a big scene!"
The man was wearing an official robe of a similar color to Chen Xiu's. If you look closely, you can see that the patterns embroidered on the two robes are different.
This voice attracted the attention of three people at the same time.
Chen Xiu cupped his hands and saluted, "Minister of the Left of the Guards."
"You Shilang Chen, why are you here?" Wei Hua asked.
Chen Xiu briefly recounted what had just happened.
Wei Hua's face turned cold when he heard this.
"Then we must thoroughly search every person at the entrance of South Street. That person is injured and will not last long."
"Why is Wei Zuo Shilang here?"
There was no smile in Zhao Qingzhu's eyes. He stepped forward and wanted to put his hand on Wei Hua's shoulder, but the other party dodged it.
Wei Hua's face darkened.
"Everyone says Zhao Zhaoyin appeared out of nowhere like that stone monkey, but I didn't know he was so unruly."
Wei Hua was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a third-rank official, higher than Zhao Qingzhu.
Zhao Qingzhu's action was indeed somewhat offensive.
"Are you doubting me?" Wei Hua reacted.
"So what? Everyone standing in Nanjie Lane will be checked!" Zhao Qingzhu stepped forward, his tone oppressive.
