Changlefang.
This is one of the favorite places for the dignitaries in Chang'an City.
Xue Bao pushed open the door angrily and saw Huangfu Yan, the Crown Prince of Jin, hugging two beautiful dancers. On the other side, a gentle man also held a young and beautiful woman in his arms and drank wine.
"Brother Xue...you are late."
Huangfuyan raised his glass and said, "I'll punish you with a few drinks later."
"snort!"
Xue Bao snorted coldly and sat down: "I'm not in the mood today."
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, the gentle man pushed the woman in his arms away and came closer: "Who in Chang'an City dares to offend our master Zuo Controller He Xue? Does he not want his life?"
Xue Bao glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "Wang Shiyi, don't talk about this here... Today, I want to kill someone!"
"OK!"
Huangfuyan grabbed the hair of the dancer next to him and pressed it in front of Xue Bao. Then he pulled out a short blade from his boot and handed it to him: "Here, Mr. Xue, kill her to vent your anger!"
After glancing at the dagger, Xue Bao glanced at the trembling dancer in front of him, but he pushed the dagger away: "It's not these bitches I want to kill."
"Who is that?"
The gentle man asked hurriedly: "Master Xue, just say, I will help you catch him."
"Su Yi!"
Xue Bao spat out these two words coldly. The gentle man was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to call someone, he saw Huangfu Yan, the Crown Prince of Jin, who was beside him. He was surprised and said: "But the new president of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce has been granted the title of Doctor by His Majesty. Su Yi who is also the Minister of Taipusi Temple?"
"Yes, it's this person."
Xue Bao gritted his teeth and said with hatred on his face: "What a bullshit president, he is just the son-in-law of the Bai family of Taiyang Mansion, and he is still a waste who was divorced by a woman."
"This..." Si Wennan obviously hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Xue, you are still a second-rank official in the dynasty. If you really want to catch him and kill him... it's not impossible. I'm just afraid that your majesty won't do it." Easy to explain."
"Why, as the famous Right Supplement Wang Xingzu in the current dynasty, with the power of you and the Wang family, are you still afraid of him, the president of a small chamber of commerce?"
Xue Bao's words made it clear that he was a fierce general. Wang Xingzu could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother Xue, if he were an ordinary person, I could capture him now and let him be dealt with, but as a second-grade official, I..."
"snort!"
Xue Bao, who snorted coldly, glanced at him and said: "We usually call each other brothers and sisters, so we talk about cutting corners. Why, now that I want to ask for something from you, you are pushing back and forth, right?"
"Haha...my Lord Xue, Brother Xue...Brother Wang didn't say no, right?" Huangfuyan said and winked at him.
Wang Xingzu nodded hurriedly, but looked troubled: "Your Majesty...I...what can you do?"
"Method?"
Huangfu Yan seemed to be confident and said: "There is a way... I just don't know if your brother Wang dares to do it?"
"Come on, tell me, as long as I can get rid of Brother Xue's bad breath, I, Wang Xingzu, will be happy."
Wang Xingzu did not forget to grin at Xue Bao and smiled flatteringly.
"Haha, okay... As long as Brother Wang can help me get rid of this bad breath, I will find a way for you to do what you said."
"Oh? That's great... Your Majesty, please tell me, what's this clever plan?" Wang Xingzu looked at Huangfuyan eagerly.
The Crown Prince of Jin waved his hand to the dancer beside him: "Get out, get out!"
After driving them away, Huangfuyan lowered his voice and said: "Brother Wang's birthday is coming soon... We can invite hundreds of officials to a banquet tomorrow, and call Su Wan from the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce. I predict that this person will accompany him, and there will be a written message by then. The memorial of important military information should be placed on him, and he should be accused of stealing intelligence, saying that he is an intermediary of the enemy country. When the time comes, it will be justified, and it will be enough for Brother Xue to kill him with a knife."
When Wang and Xue heard this, their eyes lit up and they gave a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty, this plan is great!"
"How wonderful! How wonderful!"
The three of them laughed loudly, and were so startled that several birds flew into the sky towards the full moon on the roof of Changlefang. In Qifeng Tower, the three Su Huan siblings were also smiling from ear to ear at this moment.
"Su Yi, I'm afraid what you see tonight is..."
Su Wen was about to reveal Wu Siniang's identity when Su Rong frowned slightly and shook her head: "Sister, this Fourth Niang should be the noble person in the palace. Let's not make any assumptions."
"Well... that's right. What the second sister said makes sense. Since she doesn't want to show her true identity, we'd better keep her secret."
Su Wen pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Su Yi, please don't mention this matter to others. We should stay away from matters in the inner courtyard of the palace."
Seeing what they said, Su Yi also thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. As for the emerald, Su Yi thought it was just an ordinary jewelry, so he didn't mention it to them.
A night of silence.
the next day.
Before Su Yi could get up, Su Huan was already carrying porridge and side dishes, and also filled up the face wash.
There were two maids following her, one holding a sky blue robe and the other holding a solid wooden tray covered with a piece of red cloth.
"What is this for?"
Su Yi stretched out and came to the washbasin. After Su Yi helped him wash up, he picked up the sky blue robe and said, "This is the dress I customized for you at Tianyifang. It's just right to bring it today." Put it on, and come with me to Wang Shiyi's house later."
"Wang Shiyi?"
While Su Yi was being helped by the maid to put on her robe, Su Yi asked, "What kind of situation is this?"
"This Wang Shiyi is a descendant of the Wang family with five surnames and seven hopes. He was promoted to be an official with filial piety and integrity. Later, he went on expeditions with the late emperor Jin Wang and others, and won military honors. Because of his good writing skills, he was promoted to Shiyi by your majesty... Now he is the red star in front of your majesty. Man, today is his day to entertain high-ranking officials in the capital and let you get to know them. It will be of no harm to you in running the Chamber of Commerce and becoming an official in the future."
"The birthday party... come on."
Su Yi shook his head helplessly and put on his robe. The blue color made him look more handsome and elegant. Su Wen and the two maids were stunned.
"Sister, what is this?"
Pointing to the tray in the hand of another maid, Su Huan was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "Take a look."
Su Yi stretched out a finger and lifted up the red cloth, only to see a flash of golden light inside, which turned out to be more than a dozen yellow-orange gold ingots.
"Here is one hundred taels of gold... It can be regarded as a meeting gift."
"Shall I...give it to him?"
Su Wen nodded: "Of course."
"Is it too much?"
"What does this mean? After all, it's just a relic saved by Zhongshu. I'm afraid it's too little... I don't like it."
Su Wen said as she pulled Su Yi and walked outside: "Let's not be late. This Wang Shiyi is not one of those female officials, so we can't be neglected."
Just as they walked out of Qifeng Tower, they saw a carriage parked in front of the two of them. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a pretty face walked out of the carriage with a smile like a flower.
"Sister, Su Yi, I'm here to find you!"
