Chapter 657 People from the Imperial Court
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm just here to have fun, there's nothing to worry about."
She seemed to take it not seriously at all, and Yu Shiyi and Xianxian didn't know what to say.
After Ji Yunshu left, Yu Shiyi's face darkened, and Xianxian remained silent.
Although she was afraid of Yu Shiyi, she was completely unaware of what happened last night, so it had nothing to do with her.
"what's on your mind?"
Yu Shiyi suddenly asked her.
Xianxian came back to her senses and said, "Nothing. I don't know who this Mr. Zhao is. The people around him are so powerful."
There were people guarding the flower boat, so ordinary people had no way of finding out what was happening on the boat.
But Ji Yunshu said it so casually, which made them even more afraid to underestimate him.
Yu Shiyi said, "He's from the capital, and he's an excellent poet. Even if, as he said, those two poems were written by his brother, it still means he has a genius brother. What kind of family do you think could raise such a person?"
Xianxian had met many people, but she had to admit that she had never met someone like Ji Yunshu.
He looks innocent and simple, like a young master who was brought up in an aristocratic family and knows nothing about the world.
But Xianxian knew very well that it was impossible for her to know nothing.
What she just said illustrates this point.
"Please enlighten me, sir."
She said humbly.
Yu Shiyi laughed and said, "This kid is very cunning. My people have lost him several times after following him. It's hard to guess who he is right now, but one thing is certain, he should be from the imperial court."
Xianxian was surprised: "You will lose your people?"
In this city of Hangzhou, there are people that even the young master of the Yu family can't follow. This really surprised Xianxian.
Yu Shiyi tilted his head and smiled: "The people around her can secretly investigate what's going on on the ship. Is it any wonder that the people I sent can't keep up?"
Xianxian asked, "Do you know that he is from the imperial court?"
Yu Shiyi asked, "He came from the capital at this time. He obviously has a distinguished family background, and the people around him are very powerful. Do you think he is really a runaway playboy?"
Xianxian was a little puzzled: "Speaking of which, I have met many young masters from aristocratic families, but this Young Master Zhao is different from all of them."
She could feel that the other party did not have the arrogance that was common among young men from wealthy families, and she did not see any contempt for herself in his eyes.
He has always been open and honest, and appreciates his appearance and talent.
Xianxian undoubtedly has a good impression of Ji Yunshu.
She felt that no one would find it offensive to be called "sister" by such a handsome young man.
Yu Shiyi said, "Be careful when you see him in the future. I can't tell what he's up to. But my father said that the Marquis of Jingning might just be a cover. The court must have sent someone else. Don't look at the emperor's youth and his low profile in recent years. But the Prince of Yong has been planning for years, but he's always defeated him. He's really not someone you can easily deal with."
Xianxian was accustomed to his outrageous remarks.
He nodded before asking, "What about Yang Zhen's? What are your plans?"
Yu Shiyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Originally, it would have been fine if we had just dealt with him, but now there are so many people watching him that it's hard to do anything. However, there's solid evidence that he's colluding with the Japanese pirates, so it doesn't matter who investigates."
Xianxian tightened her grip on the handkerchief, but remained calm as she said, "He's such a stubborn person. Since he's reported this to the capital, he might have a trick up his sleeve. Wouldn't it be safer to get rid of him sooner rather than later?"
She knew that Yu Shiyi believed that only the dead could keep secrets, and many people who worked under him disappeared without a trace.
Yu Shiyi's fair face turned grim. "If he's alive, the court can just investigate the case and make sure the evidence is solid. They'll be done with him later. But if he dies at this critical juncture, the court will definitely investigate thoroughly, and that'll be troublesome."
Xianxian seemed to be lost in thought, and Yu Shiyi stopped talking about it: "Don't worry about Yang Zhen's affairs. He won't die. We will even take good care of him to deal with the people in the court."
Xianxian couldn't help but shudder when she thought of his methods.
Falling into Yu Shiyi's hands, living is more painful than death.
She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
"What about this Mr. Zhao?"
Yu Shiyi said with great interest, "It's been a while since I've met such an interesting person, so I naturally have to have some fun with him. Speaking of which, the current emperor is truly amazing, and his use of people is quite unique. Look at that Prince Zhao, he was a cripple whom no one cared about two years ago."
"You mean he's the emperor's man? Would the emperor really entrust such an important matter to someone so young?"
It wasn't that she looked down on Ji Yunshu, it was just that he looked too young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Even at this age, Zhao Shen had just begun to show his talent, but he was unlucky and soon became disabled.
According to this statement, could this Mr. Zhao be a more talented person than Zhao Shen?
Yu Shiyi sneered, "Perhaps he simply doesn't have anyone useful, so he even sent Zhao Shen's wife to Mobei."
Xianxian also knew a lot and reminded him, "That lady did a lot of things in Mobei. If it weren't for her, King Yong wouldn't have been defeated. We'd better be careful."
Yu Shiyi looked down on women in his heart, but he rarely showed it on his face. After he said that, he realized that he shouldn't underestimate the enemy.
"I know Hangzhou is our territory. We won't be fooled around like those people from Mobei, and finally be tricked by Prince Yong and forced to beg for mercy from the imperial court."
Yu Shiyi obviously didn't care much about the people from Mobei.
He felt that the people of Mobei had such a strong military force, but after struggling for a long time, they were still defeated by Ji Changlin. Ultimately, the reason was that their brains were not working well.
Xianxian didn't think so, but she had no say in front of Yu Shiyi, let alone making her own position clear when she disagreed with him.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling when she heard Yu Shiyi say that Young Master Zhao was the emperor's man.
What the emperor has done in the past two years makes it difficult to ignore him.
Many of the people he personally promoted have become pillars of Daxia.
Mr. Zhao should have noticed that something is wrong with our ship. What should we do next?"
Ji Yunshu's words today were obviously a test. Yu Shiyi could hide it from her, but she couldn't pretend not to know after knowing it.
Yu Shiyi said, "It's true that a pirate escaped onto the ship, and the officers and soldiers yesterday were also sent by Marquis Jingning. But as I said, this is Hangzhou, and it will be extremely difficult for them to do anything they want. I will give him more evidence so that he can convict Yang Zhen as soon as possible."
As long as Yang Zhen is convicted, the people sent by the emperor can complete their mission.
Yu Shiyi has plenty of ways to get them out of Hangzhou.
