The dusty Bai family motorcade stopped in front of Yingxian Tower.

Bai Wan'er said with some displeasure: "If we don't go to an inn to rest, what are we doing here?"

"Cousin Wan'er, my father told me before he left that he must first visit his old friend Master Cui when he arrives in the capital."

Zhao Wenbin jumped out of the car as he spoke, glanced at the tall restaurant in front of him, and murmured: "I haven't been to the capital for a long time... It is indeed the imperial capital, and even the restaurants are so grand. I wonder what will happen to the palace?"

"Since we are asking to see Mr. Cui you mentioned, if we don't go to his house, what's the point of coming to this restaurant?" Bai Wan'er, who also got out of the car, had no intention of looking around and asked angrily.

"I just sent someone to the Cui Mansion to inquire about it. Mr. Cui is here tonight for a banquet. It is said that they are all high-ranking officials in the capital. I will take you in later. It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to get to know some people. Maybe they are right. It will help you in business in the future.”

When Bai Wan'er heard this, she felt that this sentence made sense, and she didn't complain about Zhao Wenbin. Bai Mu and Bai Xiaotang also stepped out of the carriage at this moment.

"Cousin Wenbin, this restaurant is really grand. Did you bring us here to eat? That's great! I was already hungry just in the car..."

Bai Wan'er glared: "You just know how to eat."

Seeing what she said, Bai Xiaotang could only lower his head, but he saw Su Yi following Su Wen into the building next to Yingxian Tower. He was surprised and said: "Sister, sister... look, look quickly, it's Su Yi." Boy!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he come to the capital too?"

Bai Wan'er said, but she also glanced in the direction Bai Xiaotang was pointing. She only saw a tall figure in white brocade clothes, who seemed to be somewhat similar to Su Yi.

But when she thought about it, she felt it couldn't be him. Bai Mu also patted Bai Xiaotang's body: "Are you dizzy from hunger? How could someone like Su Yi come to a place like this? Look, the one who went in is not someone with a distinguished status, just his He looks so poor that he might not even be able to get through the gate of Yingxian Tower!"

When Bai Xiaotang was told by his mother and sister, he rubbed his eyes in confusion and said, "I, I really saw it wrong? But, doesn't it look too much like him?"

"Okay Xiaotang... Wan'er is right. That Su Yi has long been running away with money. How could he come to the capital? Even if he does come, don't worry..."

Zhao Wenbin swore and patted his chest, and said with determination: "I will definitely take action to capture him. This Uncle Cui is the chief of Dali Temple and is the official in charge of punishment. I asked him to arrest Su Yi directly. You Bai family take revenge."

"real!"

When Bai Xiaotang heard that Su Yi could be captured, the pent-up anger in his heart seemed to be slightly released. While thanking Zhao Wenbin, he asked: "Cousin Wenbin, the Dali Temple you are talking about must be a senior official, right?"

"Of course, in addition to the Si Qing, Shao Qing and Si Cheng, this Dali Temple is the temple of my Uncle Cui. This is a high-ranking official from the fifth rank!"

Zhao Wenbin was very pleased with himself. He glanced at Bai Wan'er and stepped forward with a smile: "Wan'er, I will introduce you to you later. I have established a relationship with Uncle Cui. When the time comes, if he can handle the Bai family's affairs, Isn’t it easy to come forward and solve it?”

When Bai Mu heard this, she pulled Bai Wan'er and said with a smile: "Wan'er, you see how much your cousin cares about you and thinks so long-term about our Bai family's affairs. Yes, the officials in this capital don't know how to compare with that one." Prefect Lin is much older, and with such a backer, we are naturally not afraid."

Let’s talk about the Yingxian Tower at this moment.

Su Wen was about to go upstairs with Su Yi, when a man walked out of the room next to him. He was in his forties, wearing a blue gown, with a square face, thick eyebrows and thin lips, with a snarky look: "President Su!"

The man took two steps forward and slowly bowed to Su Huan, but his eyebrows on the left side were slightly raised, as if he had some emotion.

"Cui Simasa?"

When Su Wen saw her, she forced a smile, but Su Yi could see the boredom in her eyes.

"I went to see you a few days ago and I heard that you went to Taiyang Mansion. President Su, when will you be honored and come to my house to talk about it?"

This mean man had a flattering face, but Su Wen was half enthusiastic and half cold, "Let's talk about it, Mr. Cui. I'm currently dealing with the handover of the new president, so I really don't have enough time to spare."

"Yes, yes, I know this. Cui will be lucky enough to attend the promotion banquet in a few days..."

Before the mean man could finish speaking, Su Yi interrupted him and said, "Sister, should we go?"

Su Wen wished she could leave as soon as possible, so she nodded and said, "That's right, Master Cui, I'm sorry, I have to go to Room 1, Tianzi, so I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, the mean man glanced upstairs, with a look of shock in his eyes. However, he did not forget to glare at Su Yi who interrupted him.

Watching Su Wen and Su Yi go upstairs, the mean man snorted: "Uncultured things!"

Just as he was talking, Zhao Wenbin, Bai Wan'er and his daughter walked in behind them. When the mean man turned around, Zhao Wenbin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed at 90 degrees: "Uncle Cui, nephew Zhao Wenbin pays homage to Uncle Cui!"

Here, uncle and nephew recognized each other, so Zhao Wenbin naturally fawned over him in every possible way, including some disgusting polite words and indispensable offers of benefits. At this moment, Su Yi and his eldest sister Su Wen walked into the first-class room in Yingxian Building.

Although Su Yi was prepared before coming, he was a little surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

In this huge Tianzi No. 1, there were actually about twenty people, men and women, sitting there. Among them, the woman was sitting at the top.

The dozen or so men who attacked seemed to be quite respectful to these women. As soon as Su Wen and the others appeared, the women sitting at the top stood up immediately.

Su Wen stepped forward and greeted everyone one by one, and then introduced Su Yi to everyone. What Su Yi didn't expect was that here were either senior officials from the Sixth Ministry or officials from the Nine Temples.

The people surrounding Su Yi turned out to be all prominent female officials in Zhou Dynasty, either assistant ministers or chief ministers, and those men were also of prominent status.

But they were obviously not as interested in Su Yi as these female officials.

Facing several female officials who were like she-cats in heat, Su Yi finally understood why Su Wen reminded him to keep his points. These women were indeed too enthusiastic.

Seeing that Su Wen couldn't control the situation, Su Yi and these female officials couldn't stop shouting, just when he didn't know how to get out of trouble.

"Okay! Are you going to eat my brother?"

A rather majestic female voice sounded, and then, the bead curtain inside gently lifted, and two female officials walked out first. Then, I saw a woman wearing light cyan casual clothes walking out slowly.

Her face is like a peach blossom, with clear and bright eyes under the willow eyebrows and black black hair. If you look closely, she has a charming smile.

Her appearance immediately caused the men to stand up and look at her with admiration and awe, while the female officials also restrained themselves.

But when Su Yi saw this female officer, he was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly, walked out of the female officers, and came to the other party: "I have met the second sister!"

Everyone was also shocked and horrified.
