Zhao Quan glanced at him but didn't say anything.
After a long silence, Wang He spoke up: "The Zhao family has a grudge against me. My father and Zhao Yi's father were close friends. Later, Zhao Yi became successful, and my father contributed to that. In the end, my father ended up poor."
"If I hadn't found out later that Jiang Bai and Zhao Yi were a couple, would I have made my move so late?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Quan's eyes: "I want Zhao Yi to suffer a fate worse than death. He doesn't like Jiang Bai that much, so I'll make Jiang Bai a slut."
“Old Mrs. Zhao is the one I’ve been waiting for.” Zhao Yi’s smile widened.
Two months ago, Zhao Quan had a private conversation with a few people from Zhao Family Village, and the outcome is unknown.
Not long after, the old lady of the Zhao family returned to visit her relatives.
All of this came under Zhao Quan's control.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yi rode his horse toward the county government office.
The street was very empty, with only one person in it, and Zhao Yi walked quickly.
But he almost bumped into someone at the turn. When Zhao Yi looked closely, he was slightly taken aback: "Lord He?"
He Yu was also surprised to see Zhao Yi here: "Boss Zhao?!"
"Lord He, I have other important matters to attend to and would like to say no more." After saying this, Zhao Yi left, but only a short while later, the sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer.
Zhao Yi appeared in front of He Yu: "Lord He."
His tone was much better than before.
He Yu nodded: "Mr. Zhao, is there something you need?"
"Is Lord He here in Jiangnan on official business?"
“That’s right. I came to Suzhou before, but then I found some problems with the official business, so I came here again.” He Yu explained very clearly.
Zhao Yi then asked, "So, which official WeChat account in Suzhou is the most influential right now?"
He Yu's gaze darkened, and his expression became serious: "It is I."
I was right.
The arrival of officials from the capital city naturally indicates that something has happened in Suzhou, and the officials sent there are more powerful than the county magistrate.
Zhao Yi dismounted: "Please spare Lord He and seek justice for this humble subject!"
He Yu helped him up: "What is it?! Why are you in such a hurry in the middle of the night?!"
"Zhao Quan of Suzhou is trying to murder my wife and me!"
"What?!"
Half an incense stick later, the slumbering city of Suzhou was suddenly awakened.
The officials, carrying torches and weapons, rushed towards the Zhao residence, instantly illuminating the entire mansion.
Zhao Quan had just finished resting when he was startled and rushed out before he had even finished dressing.
"What's going on?!"
Upon stepping outside and seeing the officials from the county government, his expression changed slightly: "What's going on?"
Even though the county magistrate usually associated with Zhao Quan, he didn't dare to say much to Zhao Quan now under He Yu's cold face.
"Investigate!"
Zhao Quan forced a smile: "My lord, what brings you here so late at night?"
The county magistrate ignored him, and Zhao Quan's attempt to curry favor was met with indifference.
He Yu's face darkened further, and Zhao Quan staggered as Zhao Yi walked out of the crowd.
He glared at Zhao Yi, then immediately whispered for someone to go to the backyard, but it was too late.
In the backyard house, He Yu's confidant witnessed this scene: Jiang Bai was resisting Wang He, who was trying to assault Madam Zhao.
Zhou Hai kicked the man away and draped his clothes over Jiang Bai. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Jiang Bai only suffered some minor injuries.
The man's footwork was much stronger than Jiang Bai's, and coupled with Zhou Hai's martial arts skills and his distraction, Wang He fainted instantly.
Zhao Yi entered the house and picked up Jiang Bai, "Madam! Are you alright!"
Jiang Bai sobbed in Zhao Yi's arms, "It's alright...it's alright, thank goodness Lord Zhou came, otherwise..."
Jiang Bai's crying was heartbreaking.
"Thank you, Lord Zhou!" Zhao Yi bowed to Zhou Hai.
Zhou also knew this couple and understood that they had unusual relationships with many important people in the capital. He thought to himself that the Zhao family of Suzhou really had a death wish.
Jiang Bai and Zhao Yi helped each other out. He Yu looked at Jiang Bai's haggard face and the scars on his hands, and felt sorry for him.
This is, after all, Zhao Xile's mother. If Zhao Xile finds out, she will probably be heartbroken for a long time.
He Yu is usually very gentle, but he turned out to be very decisive when it came to solving cases.
"Zhao Quan, do you still have anything to say? The Lady of the Zhao family in the capital was almost harmed in your residence!"
Zhao Quan tried to explain, but Jiang Bai beat him to it: "My lord!"
"We had a conflict because of a private deal. Tonight, Zhao Quan invited my husband and me to a dinner party, but he drugged us with sleeping pills and then took us to the backyard of the Zhao family. He wanted Wang He to... do something indecent to me. Fortunately, my husband ran out to ask for help in time, otherwise we might have died here!"
Jiang Bai spoke each word with heart-wrenching intensity.
Zhao Quan angrily said, "She's slandering me!"
"I absolutely did not use any sleeping pills, so where is the evidence?!"
Zhao Quan sneered inwardly; there was no way she could find any evidence.
Jiang Bai took out a wine cup from his sleeve. "This is the evidence. You can have someone judge what's on this cup, sir!"
He Yu took the wine glass and asked himself. He was quite knowledgeable about medicine and immediately recognized the smell.
"Zhao Quan, the sleeping potion on this is more than ten times stronger than the ordinary one."
Zhao Quan was dumbfounded. Only now did he realize that they had been deceived by Jiang Bai!
Jiang Bai actually turned the tables on him!
"My lord, I am truly innocent!"
He Yu said sternly, "The person was caught in your residence, and there's this wine cup. The evidence is there, and you still want to deny it?!"
The county magistrate, observing from both sides, felt that he was in a difficult position.
"Lord He, I think this matter still needs..."
He Yu turned and glared at him: "Lord Li, the matter is not over yet."
Ang Lee immediately shut his mouth and stepped aside.
Now, no one can protect Zhao Quan.
Even though Zhao Quan was the biggest medicinal herb merchant in Jiangnan, he just happened to meet the incorruptible He Yu.
Once He Yu has made a decision, he will not let anyone off the hook unless there is a chance to overturn the case.
Jiang Bai felt that he was really lucky today, otherwise how could he have met He Yu?
Judging from the appearance of this county magistrate, if it were him who was summoned, the outcome would probably be quite different.
"Guards, lock Zhao Quan up! Seal off the entire Zhao residence pending investigation!"
"And Wang He, he escaped this ordeal in the capital, but was brought back to the capital!"
"Yes." And so the farce of the night came to an end.
As Zhao Quan passed by Jiang Bai, he coldly said, "Jiang Bai, you just wait. My Zhao family is rich and powerful, do you think we're afraid of you?"
Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow: "Sorry, you just happened to meet an adult who is completely unyielding."
"Don't worry, you'll understand in a few days. People always need to see more of the world."
Zhao Quan was unaware that he had gained so much knowledge in just one day.
He Yu is probably made of iron and is completely unresponsive to bribes.
