Lang Jun replied: "Of course I am doing what I should do."
Xiao Yuehuai knew that he wouldn't say anything, so she stood up and said in a deep voice: "No need. I have already arranged what you have to do for you. Your uncle has been safely sent back to Zhongli County. Continue to preside over the repairs."
"The Su family also got through the storm safely. I have to say that you handled it very well and didn't leave any clues. So... General Su should just relax and recuperate. Compared to the trivial matters outside, your injuries are more serious More important."
Su Ying was slightly stunned and stared at the princess intently.
Xiao Yuehuai smiled and said: "What? Don't you believe I can handle it?"
Su Ying didn't know how to answer, and suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him was a little strange. After a moment of silence, he opened his lips and said, "I don't dare. I'm just curious. How can the princess know... what I'm thinking?"
Xiao Yuehuai: "It's not difficult."
"When I learned that you appeared in Lanluan County and that a gunfight occurred here, I already guessed what you had done. Presumably...it was you who brought the news about the disappearance of the Su family master to Jinling Bar?"
Su Ying did not deny it. He turned his head and looked at the princess seriously, listening to her continue.
"This is probably the thief's plan."
"If the Ministry of Punishment investigates the glazed tile factory, it will find evidence of correspondence between him and the Su family from the records of the young supervisor Lian Qi. If the head of the Su family disappears at this time, everyone will associate the Su family with the bank robbery case. .”
"This dirty water naturally poured into the Su family."
"If Bailiren is exposed and the silver is transported out of the city and is discovered, it can also be said that it was ordered by Shilang Su. Because the Yu Department happens to be under the jurisdiction of Shilang Su. The purpose of the thief's series of traps is not only to rob the silver, but also to use Xiangzhuang's sword dance to target Pei Gong. ——He wants to blame the Su family."
"So you used your plan. First, let the spy planted by the thief next to Shilang Su think that he was really missing. When the news reached the capital, you removed him in time. After learning the thief's specific plan from the spy, you ambush him in Lanluan County. "
"But for some reason, Bailiren seemed to be aware of the fact that he had been exposed, so he went with the flow. He successfully lured you away with 20,000 broken silver and a group of bandits, and fled with the remaining 70,000 silver."
"Fortunately, you learned Bailiren's whereabouts from the bandit leader, and finally got an explanation."
"So I think there are only two things you have to do. One is to prove Su Shilang's innocence. These days, you specially asked him to come to the Gyeonggi area to stay with Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Liusheng. Let Liu Sheng testify that Minister Su has nothing to do with matters in the capital. Therefore, I asked Liu Sheng to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishments and record a confession."
"The second is to apprehend Bailiren. Don't worry about the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, thinking that there are thief spies among them, otherwise Bailiren would not have discovered the abnormality so quickly and escaped your ambush. Therefore, you must send your own Only when people go forward can they feel at ease. I have just told Xun Chong to take Qu from the center of the government to pursue him. I believe there will be news in a short time."
She was very organized and almost all of her guesses were correct. Su Ying became more and more silent as he listened: He didn't know when Princess Huaicheng, who was not familiar with political affairs, no longer stayed out of everything as before.
Xiao Yuehuai said a lot, then took a break, lowered his eyes and asked softly: "General, I'm very curious...who did you offend? That made him set up such an evil plan to frame the Su family?"
She clenched the hand hidden in her sleeve and clasped her fingertips in her palm, intending to find out something from Su Ying: She wanted to know if this person knew that the mastermind behind this series of cases was Lu Pingsheng?
She asked Qin E. The account books Qi Yue collected from the private gambling house in Kangrong Banner were full of loopholes and were not enough to frame the Su family.
Lu Pingsheng is never sloppy in his actions. It is impossible for him to make such a mistake and he will never make it. She knew very well what kind of person he was. If he wanted to put people to death, he would do it in a flawless way, and his tactics would be ruthless like no one else.
It can be seen that the gambling house's account books had been changed long before the Ministry of Punishment seized them. The only person who could do this quietly was Su Ying, who had long seen through Lu Pingsheng's plan.
This man's city is unfathomable.
Judging from his plotting and interrogation methods in prison these days, he is also a ruthless and cunning person. She was really worried that if she couldn't clear up the past grudges with him and turn enemies into friends, he would become a huge hidden danger to her in the future.
Xiao Yuehuai made a test.
Su Ying cleverly avoided the topic: "I am a soldier, not good at court affairs. I have been living in the windy and sandy frontier land before, and I don't know how to adapt. Maybe I collided with a certain nobleman in Jinling City, which led to this disaster. .”
He was wearing a mask with plum patterns, and his pupils were as deep as the abyss without any emotion.
Xiao Yuehuai couldn't see through him, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
The gap between her and him was too great. Who could easily resolve the matter of life and death? However, dealing with Lu Pingsheng was enough to make her nervous. In the future, she would also have to be careful about Su Ying. Thinking of this made her want to cry without tears and her heart was filled with sadness.
Xiao Yuehuai looked a little frustrated, stood up and said politely: "General, when acting in the capital, you must be careful at every step and never slack off. Today... I have also taken care of you for a long time, and I regard it as repaying you for risking your life to go to Nanqiu to save you. Thank you for your kindness. You...have a good rest."
After finishing her words, she raised her feet and turned to leave.
Su Ying did not try to persuade him to stay, but still maintained his etiquette and said respectfully and restrainedly: "I... send you off to the princess."
Xiao Yuehui went out and stood on the porch, feeling very sad: She never expected that in her two lifetimes, all the men she married were not good men.
She was lost in thought while looking at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard. It wasn't until Alu came to urge her that she got out of her chaotic thoughts and followed the maid to the wing on the right.
Su Ying was in coma, and the medical staff warned him not to move. Therefore, they are still in Lanluan County and have not returned to Beijing. The county magistrate's official knew her identity and immediately built a residence in the city for the two of them to stay.
The place is small but exquisite. The plum trees in the courtyard have grown buds in the autumn wind. The green vines on the wooden frame are slightly withered, but they are pregnant with blooming flowers, swaying and crowded together, competing with each other.
Xiao Yuehuai sat in front of the window, holding her head in a daze.
Alu stood by and asked, "Princess? Are you worried about anything?"
Xiao Yuehuai was startled, tilted his head to look at her and said with a smile, "Is it so obvious?"
Alu nodded.
Xiao Yuehuai paused for a moment and said seriously: "When Su Ying recovers from his injury, you will accompany me back to the palace."
Alu didn't understand: "What does the princess want to do?"
Xiao Yuehuai didn't explain, but just murmured: "When the time comes, there are some people who must be met."
Alu didn't understand what she was talking about, and frowned and said: "Princess... now you should worry about how to get along with the consort! Although I don't know what his thoughts are, there will be many days in the Su family in the future. But, we can’t stay like this forever?”
Xiao Yuehuai smiled and already had a plan in mind.
