Chapter 55 He is so old, how can he be worthy of me?
Qingshu stood beside Lu Sui and saw his face turn cold.
He quickly said, "I see that the young lady is in a hurry. Perhaps she has encountered something urgent. Master, how about sending Qingxuan to find out?"
"Need not."
Lu Sui handed him the brocade box he had been holding, walked out of the jade shop and headed towards the Wanhe Tower opposite.
Qingshu followed closely behind, holding the brocade box in his hand.
Today is still the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
Many young men and women from aristocratic families came to Wanhelou to eat and drink, and the restaurant was now full.
After Jiang Yueyao left, Chenyu took her place and stood in front of the counter to check out the customers.
At this moment, she was looking down and typing on the abacus, which made a crackling sound, when a shadow fell.
"Welcome..." She looked up and saw Lu Sui standing in front of the counter.
The smile on his face disappeared immediately.
"Why is Lord Lu here?
Lu Sui didn't care about her rudeness and just asked, "Where did Jiang Yueyao go?"
Chenyu opened her mouth, about to tell the truth, but her mouth turned away...
"Where else can we go? Of course I have a date with my beautiful lady!"
Frightened, Qingshu hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Tsk!" Chenyu glanced at him, "Why are you so excited..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Sui's cold voice dropped sharply.
"Chen Baoqing, you ran back to the capital from Mobei. Does General Pingxi know about this?"
Chenyu, who had been smiling smugly with her arms folded across her chest, was struck by lightning when she heard these words.
"You..." She opened her eyes wide, then dodged, not daring to look at Lu Sui, "Who is Shen Baoqing? I don't know him!"
Lu Sui said nothing.
He just glanced at her indifferently.
His eyes were firm, revealing an invisible pressure.
Chenyu couldn't resist and curled her lips.
"You're such a boring person. Forget it. Let me tell you the truth. Yaoyao went to the Jingzhao government office with Master Yuan from the Governor's Office."
"Why go there?"
"Why else? Of course, someone wanted to kill us last night, but they didn't know I knew martial arts. I fought four of them alone, and they failed."
"Early this morning, we reported the incident to the authorities, who took the four men away, but soon released them without giving us any explanation."
Chenyu became more and more angry as she spoke.
"At the foot of the Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Jingzhao prefect, the official who is the mother and father of the capital, is so presumptuous. It's simply lawless."
Chen Yu grew increasingly angry as she spoke, "Humph, you Beijing officials living in your rich nests are all drunkards lining your own pockets. You're truly corrupt..."
“Shen Baoqing!”
Lu Sui shouted, stopping her from finishing her words, his brows stern, "Shut up!"
Chenyu also realized that she was a little excited.
She snorted angrily, but didn't say anything else.
Lu Sui took a deep breath and turned to go out.
Qingshu was still standing in front of the counter, staring at Chenyu in astonishment: "You, you, you..."
"I, I, I, I..." Chenyu deliberately imitated him, "I what?"
"No, I mean, why did you return to Beijing? Before... didn't you want to marry my master?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm going to marry him when I return to Beijing? Don't joke around, okay? He's so old, how can he be worthy of me?"
“…”
"Don't tell anyone about this, you understand?"
"Then you..."
"I won't marry!"
"oh!"
…
Jiang Yueyao followed Yuan Zheng to the Jingzhao government office.
But he was stopped at the gate of the government office.
"Lord Hu went to the farm on the outskirts of the city early this morning. I heard someone was killed there. I wonder if he can come back today."
Yuan Zheng knew this was an excuse.
He sneered: "Really? Sir Hu is really dedicated!"
"Since Lord Hu is not here, I will look for the Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture. There must be someone in the government office. Is he not going to the farm outside the city?"
"this……"
Yuan Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and pulled Jiang Yueyao inside.
The guards at the door did not dare to stop him because of his status, so someone secretly ran to tell the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Lord Yu, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, arrived soon.
He smiled and apologized: "Why is Lord Yuan here?"
"I just want to ask about the current whereabouts of the four people arrested by your Jingzhao Prefecture this morning, whom Miss Jiang, the owner of Wanhe Tower, reported to the police."
When the other party heard this, he was very upset.
When the prefect sent him out to deal with something, he knew it was going to be bad.
"This is probably a misunderstanding," Lord Yu said while observing Yuan Zheng's expression. "Those four people drank a few extra glasses of cat urine last night and mistakenly entered Miss Jiang's residence, disturbing her peace. They actually had no other malicious intentions."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Yueyao listened to his nonsense with her eyes wide open, her face flushed with anger. "They were carrying knives and broke in over the wall in the middle of the night. There was no smell of alcohol on them. How could they have mistakenly broken in while drunk?"
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Lord Yu looked at her with disapproval in his eyes. "After the curfew in Beijing, the streets are heavily patrolled. How can you still be allowed to carry a knife outside?"
Jiang Yueyao stopped talking.
Although she is young, she has been doing business since she was a child and has dealt with different people. The Lord Yu in front of her is obviously an old fox.
She knew he was talking nonsense, but he was let go and she had no evidence.
I can only let him talk nonsense.
Jiang Yueyao was feeling a little disheartened at this moment.
I originally thought that such a bad thing would not happen in the capital under the feet of the emperor.
But now it seems that the whole cause is the same everywhere.
Power protects power, officials protect officials!
Oh!
How ironic.
Yuan Zheng was about to say something, but Jiang Yueyao grabbed him and said, "Mr. Yuan, let's go."
"But this matter..."
"I have no evidence, so whatever they say is true." Jiang Yueyao shook her head, "Forget it..."
Before she finished speaking, a man rushed in from outside.
"Master Shao Yin, something bad has happened. Master Lu is here."
Upon hearing this, the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, who had been smiling with his hands behind his back, hurriedly put his hands down.
He asked anxiously, "Which Lord Lu?"
"Lu...Lu Taifu, Master Taifu."
"Grand Tutor? Why are you here at this time?" As he spoke, he hurried towards the door.
When Jiang Yueyao heard that Lu Sui was coming, she hurried to the door.
Yuan Zheng walked beside her and asked in a low voice, "Why is Lord Lu here? Have you sent someone to tell him?"
Jiang Yueyao shook her head.
She thought the government would give her an explanation, so she didn't tell Lu Sui.
"He didn't come here today because of this..."
As the two were talking, a group of people walked in from the gate not far away.
The leader was tall and straight, dressed in dark green brocade clothes, with long hair tied up in a crown. He strode towards them with an imposing aura.
Lord Yu hurried forward to greet him.
"I didn't know that the Grand Tutor was coming. I apologize for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
Lu Sui stopped and looked down at him.
His expression was unusually cold.
"Is Lord Hu here?"
"Yes, I am in the study. Please follow me."
Yuan Zheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but scold him after hearing this: "Yu Chong, you dare to lie to me?"
Yu Chong had no time to care about him and respectfully led Lu Sui to the study in the government office.
Lu Sui raised his foot and paused slightly when passing by Jiang Yueyao.
He turned his eyes to look at her: "Follow me!"
The voice is so faint that it makes people feel numb...
