Master Jia certainly doesn't know why the fourth prince came to Suzhou, but what he wants to tell Shi Weian now is: "Does your Excellency know why this official would punish the young master of the Li family for thirty years?"
From what Shi Weian said just now, we know that it was Li Youbin who told Shi Weian about his torture in the government office that day, which led to what happened today.
Master Jia just wanted to make this matter clear to Shi Weian. The reason why he scolded Li Youbin was because he was forced by the fourth prince. Under the coercion of the fourth prince, he had no room for resistance.
Shi Weian narrowed his eyes, removed the deep thoughts in his eyes, and asked: "Why?"
"That's because the young master of the Li family accidentally injured the fourth prince while riding his horse on the street!"
As he spoke, his tone paused, and a look of deep helplessness appeared on Mr. Jia's face. He held his forehead and sighed softly: "At that time, the guards of the fourth prince came to the government office with a dragon pattern jade pendant, saying that it was the fourth prince's wish. If you want to lower your official rank to severely punish the young master of the Li family, there is nothing you can do about it."
"After much thought, I can only act according to the instructions of the fourth prince. Otherwise, I am afraid that the fourth prince will not give up!"
"At that time, once the fourth prince finds trouble with the Li family and accidentally involves the adults, it will be terrible!"
Master Jia looked as if I was thinking of you all, which immediately made Shi Weian's gloomy expression soften a lot.
Shi Weian deeply agreed with Mr. Jia's statement.
In this current situation, the emperor has sent an imperial envoy to clean up the Jiangnan officialdom. If the fourth prince really comes to the Li family, it might really cause trouble for him...
Li Qiqi's younger brother was really unlucky. He rode his horse on the street and actually hurt the fourth prince!
Not only could Shi Weian not pursue Li Youbin's punishment, he also believed that Master Jia handled the case well.
Shi Weian nodded, suddenly raised his hand and patted Mr. Jia's right shoulder, and praised: "Mr. Jia is very good, Mr. Shi wrongly blamed you."
After noticing the strength on his shoulders and hearing Shi Weian's praise, Mr. Jia immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This level has been passed.
However, Li Youbin, who was standing in front of the main table, almost jumped up when he saw the scene in front of him!
Li Youbin resisted the urge to rush over and separate the two of them. He widened his eyes and stared at Mr. Jia, gritting his teeth and said: "I wonder what the man named Jia said to Mr. Jia to make him The Lord is so close to him!"
Master Jia had no time to pay attention to Li Youbin's gaze at this time. He was shocked by Shi Weian's words. Shi Weian said: "I wonder if Master Jia knows which inn in Suzhou City the fourth prince is staying at at this time?"
Mr. Jia was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to react, "This, this, this...why would this Sir ask this?"
Shi Weian said unhurriedly: "It is rare for me to come to Suzhou, so I have to stay for two more days before going back. Since I already know that the fourth prince is in Suzhou, I should naturally go there with gifts and pay a visit. The fourth prince is the right one."
Mr. Jia couldn't answer.
Several days have passed since what happened that day, and Mr. Jia has not been able to wait for the guard's reply. He does not know whether the fourth prince has left Suzhou, nor does he know how injured the fourth prince is at this time.
Mr. Jia thought carefully about his answer: "I have never seen the fourth prince before. I really don't know where the fourth prince has settled. Besides, it has been several days, and I don't know if the fourth prince is still in Suzhou..."
Hearing this, Shi Weian's eyes flashed slightly. If the fourth prince was still in Suzhou at this time, he might have come for the Jiangnan officialdom.
If the Fourth Prince is not here, then he can treat it as the Fourth Prince just happened to pass by Suzhou...
However, his principle is that he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!
Shi Weian smiled gently: "Master Jia, don't be nervous. I believe that Master Jia will be able to find out the whereabouts of the fourth prince in Suzhou City, right?"
Mr. Jia: "..."
Although Shi Weian was smiling, the look in Mr. Jia's eyes instantly made his hair stand on end, and cold sweat broke out down his spine. He couldn't say no, so he could only suppress the fear in his heart, lowered his head and said: "Then The official will definitely do what you wish."
"very good."
The smile on Shi Weian's face became gentler.
After saying this, Shi Weian turned around and returned to the main table.
Mr. Jia stood there, raising his sleeves with a frightened expression, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and began to worry about his official career.
Master Jia didn't know why Shi Weian wanted to see the fourth prince, but looking at Shi Weian's look just now, it seemed that he had another plan in mind.
For a moment, Mr. Jia didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to involve the fourth prince...
As soon as Shi Weian sat down, Li Youbin wanted to test what Mr. Jia had just said to Mr. Shi.
But before Li Youbin opened his mouth, he saw Mr. Jia walking back dejectedly. He noticed that Mr. Jia's face was as pale as when he left before, as if he had been hit by something.
Li Youbin's mind suddenly became active again.
Maybe it was Mr. Shi who was warning Mr. Jia not to embarrass the Li family just now, so Mr. Jia would show such an expression.
When he thought of this, Li Youbin instantly felt comfortable all over and no longer thought about testing Mr. Shi.
Mr. Jia didn't know what Li Youbin was thinking. Looking at the table full of delicacies, he was already tasteless and said, "Sir, please allow me to go back and investigate what you said."
Li Youbin:?
Master Jia wanted to leave before he even had a chance to take action?
When he learned that Mr. Jia was coming to the banquet, Li Youbin specially prepared a "surprise" for Mr. Jia. He didn't want Mr. Jia to leave just like that, so he said: "Master Shi has just arrived and Mr. Jia is about to leave. Mr. Jia is doing this." , I’m afraid there’s something wrong?”
At this point, Mr. Jia was too lazy to pay attention to Li Youbin. He raised his eyes and looked at Shi Weian, knowing that Shi Weian would definitely agree to let him leave early.
indeed.
Shi Weian nodded: "Since Master Jia has something to do, Master Jia will leave first. Anyway, I will stay in Suzhou for a few days. I will go to the government office tomorrow to talk to Master Jia about the past."
Li Youbin:? ? ?
Mr. Jia stood up, leaned towards Shi Weian and bowed: "Sir, I will leave first."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Jia turned around and left.
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps, which seemed a bit panicked.
Everyone sitting in the front yard couldn't help but look up.
Shi Weian is no exception.
With just one glance, Shi Weian's eyes condensed and he stood up quickly.
Going around the table, Shi Weian walked out quickly and asked calmly: "Why are you so panicked? What happened?"
"grown ups!"
The maid who hurried over was the one Shi Weian specially arranged to serve Li Qiqi.
The maid Linglong suddenly knelt on the ground and said with a panicked expression: "Sir, madam, madam is missing!"
