Su Yan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the throwing knife.
Although he had just wiped the knife on the driver's clothes, it was better to make sure the things he gave to Pan Jiu were even cleaner.
Ye Panjiu carefully stroked the blade with her fingers; the outer edge of the throwing knife was as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Can this knife cut through copper and iron without dulling the blade, and sever a hair with a breath?"
After all, blood has already been shed from killing someone, so the third point does not apply.
Su Yan casually plucked two strands of hair and blew a breath towards the tip of the knife.
Hair was scattered and broken.
Ye Panjiu's eyes shone even brighter.
It's true!
Su Yan looked at her and found her unusually childish.
Little did they know, Ye Panjiu was simply intrigued by things she had never seen before.
Su Yan retrieved the throwing knife. "It's too damaging to the knife to cut copper and iron, so I won't try it. I'm going out for a bit now."
Ye Panjiu nodded and replied very seriously, "Underestimating the enemy is the biggest mistake. I'll wait for you to come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that Heng Tong was still in the next room, and immediately changed her words, saying, "We'll wait for you to come back."
Su Yan smiled and quickly lowered his head to give her a light peck on the corner of her lips.
"wait for me."
Ye Panjiu tried her best to appear calm. After all, the original owner had given birth before, and it was just a matter of touching the corner of her lips. Being too excited would be too naive.
But her heart was still pounding, and a blush spread across her ears and cheeks.
Su Yan's eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch her ear.
Touch and then leave.
By the time Ye Panjiu realized it, Su Yan had already turned and walked out of the house.
She was somewhat stunned.
Is this what it feels like to be in contact with someone you like?
When our eyes meet, I can't help but feel happy.
When skin touches skin, it feels like a wildfire.
I'm increasingly convinced that Su Yan is excellent in every way.
She coughed lightly, picked up her teacup, and drank some water.
Su Yan had a smile on his face until the very last second before he walked into Jiang Le'an's study.
Jiang Le'an was frowning as he looked at the account book when he heard the door open and looked up.
Who are you?
As he asked the question, his hand was already subtly moving into his sleeve pocket.
He had a repeating crossbow in his sleeve, but he kept it there because it was inconvenient to tie it to his wrist during the day.
“I advise Brother Jiang not to act rashly, Jiang Leyue is in my hands.”
Su Yan said calmly, and casually pulled out a chair and sat down.
It was as if this was his house and he had simply returned home.
Jiang Le'an smiled in response, "You flatter me, sir. Your sister..."
Su Yan interrupted him directly, "Of the six attendants, five men and one woman are all dead. How do you think I could enter your study without alerting anyone?"
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Le'an's forehead. The person he had sent to protect Jiang Leyue was his most skilled subordinate...
Su Yan looked at him.
"Bang bang—"
A knock suddenly sounded at the door. "Master, I have something to report!"
Just as Jiang Le'an was about to refuse, Su Yan waved his hand and walked into the silver-gilt cloisonné-inlaid jade screen behind him.
"Come in!" Jiang Le'an's tone was quite unpleasant.
"Master, my wife left last night. Please, for the sake of the time I served you, lend me some money!"
The aged voice sounded very tired, followed by the familiar sound of knees hitting the ground.
He can now even tell how much pain his knees are from the sound of them hitting the ground.
The sound was loud, and the old man knelt down firmly.
Jiang Le'an frowned. "Take these twenty taels and use them to properly handle the funeral arrangements."
Su Yan raised an eyebrow. As far as he knew, Jiang Le'an was so wealthy that he couldn't possibly be so stingy.
Sure enough, the sound of kowtowing rang out.
"My lord, I have served you for decades, and this is how you treat me? How many people will be heartbroken if word gets out!"
Jiang Le'an was extremely annoyed. "It's only twenty taels. If you don't want it, then get out of here!"
The old man's sobbing was accompanied by the clinking of silver coins, followed by the sound of the door opening.
"The person has already left. Please come out, sir." Jiang Le'an tried his best to suppress his urgency.
Su Yan walked out and said, "When you have money, you're all here; when you don't, you're gone. If you're so strapped for cash, you're probably in grave danger."
After all, Jiang Le'an must have been able to manage such a huge fortune because he was good at social maneuvering and generous with gifts.
But if the gifts don't meet the corrupt officials' expectations, it's hard to say whether the merchants will still find it so convenient.
Jiang Le'an looked at him with a deep gaze, "Please tell me, who exactly are you?"
“Someone who can save your sister,” Su Yan said calmly.
He knew perfectly well that Jiang Le'an was doomed to die.
He's out of money, and with such a powerful handle on him, no one will leave him a way out.
To save Jiang Leyue from his clutches and hand over the evidence to him, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't stop the seventy-two forces coming to haunt him.
One wrong step leads to another. From the moment he started sending money to the Wang family in order to gain control of the docks, there was no turning back.
Jiang Le'an shook his head, "How can I trust you?"
Having climbed to his position, he no longer easily trusts others, let alone in matters of life and death.
Su Yan found it somewhat amusing, "You didn't see me yesterday?"
Jiang Le'an frowned and suddenly knelt down, "I was blind! I didn't even recognize Prime Minister Su!"
Su Yan reached out and helped him up, saying, "Let's skip the formalities."
Jiang Le'an looked up at Su Yan, who was none other than the renowned Prime Minister Su.
He was wholeheartedly dedicated to speaking out for the people, and wherever he went, he dispelled the darkness and restored their innocence.
He would never have dared to trust anyone else, but if it were Su Xiang, this was his only chance to save his sister.
Wang Yichun, that corrupt official, became increasingly greedy, and the Wang family was like a bottomless pit sucking up his money.
Not to mention that he even took a fancy to his only relative. He may have a worthless life, but he would never be willing to let his sister's life be any less!
"As long as Prime Minister Su agrees to marry my sister with the rites due to a principal wife, I will hand over all the evidence!"
Su Yan shook his head without hesitation. "My wife has already been chosen. It's not a good choice to put your sister out in the open. It's better to keep her under an assumed name and change her identity."
Su Yan patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I never break my word. If I said I would protect her, I definitely will."
In this vast world, hiding in the city is the best way to conceal oneself.
Jiang Le'an pondered for a long time, considering all possible people and methods.
The current emperor's surname is Ning, not Wang. Even if the Wang family has a prince, the prince's surname is Ning.
And who is Su Yan? He is a high-ranking official with even more power than a prince!
The Emperor sent him to Yangzhou, yet the Wang family seemed so indifferent; this revealed too many problems.
He had little money left and was disliked by the Wang family. It was only a matter of time before they wanted to get rid of him. He could only look for a way out.
Su Yan sat quietly, showing no impatience, and casually picked up a book to read.
Jiang Le'an kept his eyes fixed on him.
Finally, he sighed deeply, "It's fate, it's destiny!"
If one hadn't been driven to desperation, who would willingly face death?
Su Yan replied, "Your sister is fortunate to have a good brother like you."
