Zhao Yuzhou suppressed his excitement and said, "Miss, I will do my best and will never let you down."
Su Yin patted his shoulder gently, "Well, have a good rest and don't think too much."
After Su Yin left, Zhao's mother excitedly held her son's hand and said, "Son, aren't you more impressive than those supervisors?"
"Mom, what are you thinking? I am observing secretly. If it is out in the open, who would make a mistake in front of me? Otherwise, the young lady wouldn't say this to me in private." Zhao Yuzhou lowered his voice and reminded, "Mom, don't shout it everywhere. If you ruin the young lady's business and she blames us, we will have nowhere to go."
Mother Zhao nodded, "I save that."
After knowing that this matter should not be made public, Zhao's mother turned her attention to the purse left by Su Yin.
She opened her purse and took out the silver money. When she saw the two silver ingots, her eyes widened. "Yuzhou, these are ten taels of silver ingots."
Two ten-liang silver ingots, plus some miscellaneous silver coins, totaled about thirty-two liang.
"The young lady is such a good person."
Zhao Yuzhou kept nodding.
Mother Zhao immediately warned, "You must do everything the eldest lady tells you to do. Don't worry, I will help keep an eye on them and will never let those people do anything wrong in Qingxi Mountain."
After finishing the work here, Su Yin and Su Xiaozhong returned to the wooden house under the watchful eyes of the temporary workers.
The two shadowy figures who were guarding in the dark today are gone.
As for what kind of punishment they received, Su Yin did not ask.
The secret cabinet belongs to my younger brother, so naturally I have to obey him in everything. If she were to take over his duties, it would be overreaching.
Returning to the cabin, Su's mother asked with concern, "What happened?"
Su Yin briefly recounted what happened outside.
"Is the person who was stabbed okay?"
"It's okay! I'm lucky that my heart and lungs weren't stabbed. Mom, do you know who the person who was stabbed is?"
Su's mother looked puzzled. After hearing her daughter's words, she wondered if she knew that person.
"Someone I know?" Su's mother asked back.
"Yes, and no."
Su Baozhu was smart and quickly realized, "Did we meet him on the way to escape?"
Su Yin nodded and said, "The mother and son we met outside the gate of Linzhi County before were the boy who looked a bit like me."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, both of them understood and knew who it was.
Mother Su smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we meet here."
The other people didn't know the inside story, so Su's mother smiled and told them what happened in Linzhi County, and then mentioned Zhao Yuzhou and his mother, especially how smart the child Zhao Yuzhou was.
"Yinyin thought he looked familiar at the time, and so did the rest of us. But after Master Wan San said that, we realized that the boy had some similarities with Yinyin in terms of his features."
"It's a coincidence. The young man was smart. He followed us when he saw us leaving at night. If they hadn't caught up, they would have died in Linzhi County. You don't know that the people in the government office of Linzhi County are worthless..."
Su's mother and Su Baozhu talked to them one after another, telling them in detail what had happened in Linzhi County.
After listening to this, the grandmother frowned and was filled with grief, "It has only been a short time since he took this position, and the world has become so chaotic."
Su Xiaozhong comforted him, "Father has only one son, so even if he is a fool, he has to sit in that position."
Su Xinguang said, "Dad, we have a long way to go in the future."
"Yes! The road ahead is long and arduous." Su Xiaozhong muttered. He had just thought of something, but was interrupted by this and forgot it. He muttered, "Who does this Linzhi County belong to?"
Su Xinguang said directly: "I'll ask the Dark Chamber to check it out."
Su Yin thought of the collusion between officials and bandits in Yongqing County that night, slaughtering civilians and extorting money. "You can check who the county magistrate of Yongqing County is under."
When Yongqing County was mentioned, Su Xinguang said without thinking, "There's no need to check this. He is Wu Wang Song Zhiyi's man. There's one thing I haven't had time to say. In my life, Wu Wang Song Zhiyi was able to sit in that position in large part because no one knew that he had a group of troops under his command."
"It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of the army that the others were caught off guard that the King of Wu was able to take advantage of the opportunity and secure his throne."
"In the early days, the King of Wu was silent and devoted himself to farming every day for ten years, which confused the others."
"As for where the private soldiers trained by King Wu came from, it was only after I investigated the mob that rushed into our village in Dongtu County in my previous life that I discovered that they were King Wu's men. King Wu's private soldiers were actually a group of mountain bandits. King Wu needed money to raise soldiers, and he also had to establish his image, so naturally, the money came from his private soldiers pretending to be mountain bandits and robbing houses."
"When there was unrest in Yunzhou and other places, he took the opportunity to massacre people in the Dongtu area, and used the name of the mob to plunder the wealth of several nearby counties."
"No one would suspect him at this time. Everyone would just think that it was Prince Yun and his men who were too harsh in their exploitation, which led to the public outrage and thus the mutiny."
After Su Xinguang finished speaking, Su Yin nodded, "What you said is exactly the same as what Xinyang said."
This was the letter he had sent us before, in which he told us to be careful of King Wu. He also mentioned that in his previous life he had investigated the massacre of Dongtu County by a mob and finally traced it back to King Wu.
This makes sense. When Su Xinyang knew that his enemy was the King of Wu, he also took the position of the Nine Thousand Years Old. He used his power to kill the King of Wu, and finally let the King of Jing Song Yunhe take advantage and sit on the throne.
