Shengjing Noble

Chapter 258 Another secret

"This..." Su Lanxin was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to her?" Fu Wuyang asked nervously.

"No, Your Highness. This child is timid by nature and has gone through a lot of hardships. So I'm afraid that if you suddenly meet her, this child will have a hard time accepting it."

"I see. Then when can I meet her?"

"I have to wait until I get closer to the child, then slowly enlighten her and reveal things to her little by little so that she can be mentally prepared."

"I will wait for one day at most. Tomorrow morning, I will see her."

Su Lanxin hesitated for a moment but nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will arrange it."

"That's good. This king doesn't like people who don't keep their promises."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will personally bring her to see you tomorrow morning." After saying that, Su Lanxin stood up and saluted. "Then I will not bother you any more. Please enjoy your meal, Your Majesty."

She turned and left the room. Only when the door was closed did the smile on Fu Wuyang's face fade away little by little, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The secret guard came in: "My Lord, what do you want?"

"Investigate the child that Su Lanxin mentioned, and find the whereabouts of the other half of the jade ring."

Fu Wuyang stared at the small piece of jade ring full of cracks in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This wound looked like it had been smashed in half by someone, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cracks on it.

Of course, it is also possible that it broke.

But is it really such a coincidence that it would break into two pieces?

Even if it breaks in two, what about the other half? You can't just throw it away, right?

Thinking of this, he took out his half of the jade ring and put it together with the small half.

The ring only needs one gap to turn into a jade ring again.

There must be something else behind this matter!

……

Inside the city, all the people gathered in front of the county government office, some beating drums and some shouting.

"Official, hand over our disaster relief grain quickly! If it weren't for you, we would have a full meal!"

"Yes, these two brothers are liars. They were not poisoned to death at all, but you arrested them without any investigation!"

"Quickly release the people, quickly hand over the relief grain! Quickly compensate for the grain you destroyed!"

……

The people refused to give up and the commotion became more and more violent. Su Yongcheng hid inside and paced back and forth in a state of panic.

Liu Ruyan and Su Lanxin rushed over.

"Master, what's going on?"

Su Lanxin said disdainfully: "This group of vicious dogs is simply outrageous. Father, why don't we arrest them all!"

"No!" Su Yongcheng refused sternly. "If so many people are arrested, they will definitely find out something when Su Shengming and his group arrive. They will report me to the emperor and I'm afraid my head will be in danger!"

"What should we do? We can't just let them make trouble, right?"

"The only solution now is to release Su Lanyin. As long as she can get some disaster relief grain to appease the people, there is still room for improvement."

When Su Lanxin heard that Su Lanyin was going to be released, she got so angry that her face turned red.

"No! We finally locked that bitch up, how can we let her out so easily!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Su Lanxin held her chin and rolled her eyes around, finally coming up with a good idea.

"We can ask King Xiaoyao to solve this matter! Just say that the person who faked his death was staged by Su Lanyin herself in order to harm our entire family!"

"Yes, then we'll say that you loved the people so much that you were so anxious when you saw someone being poisoned that you were deceived!"

Su Yongcheng hesitated and asked, "Will the prince believe us?"

"Don't worry, we found him an adopted daughter, and he must repay our family in some way."

"Okay... then, let's do this!"

"Then what should we do with those troublemakers outside? This is not a solution."

Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "Why not release Su Lanyin first? These people are starving and will definitely ask her for relief food first. After we have arranged everything, we can let King Xiaoyao settle the score with her!"

"That's a good idea!" Su Yongcheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Someone, bring Su Lanyin to the county government office!"

"Yes!"

After a stick of incense, the bailiff came back with a bruised face and nose.

"Master! Su Lanyin refused to come out and beat me up..."

Su Yongcheng was so angry when he saw this, but he couldn't do anything about Su Lanyin.

Liu Ruyan didn't dare to go to the prison to provoke anyone, after all, she had also seen Su Lanyin's kung fu.

After thinking it over, she could only say, "We still have some food in our warehouse. How about we take it out first for emergency use, and then ask King Xiaoyao to ask Su Lanyin to take out the relief food tomorrow?"

Su Yongcheng nodded helplessly: "That's the only way!"

Finally, the officials moved the grain out of the government office's warehouse and distributed it to the people, and only then did the matter come to an end.

……

The prison.

Su Lanyin had already taught three waves of jailers a lesson, and finally no one dared to provoke her again.

The jailer knelt on the ground outside the prison door and begged: "Auntie, I beg you, please just leave. Our temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

Su Lanyin snorted disdainfully, still sitting cross-legged on the ground calmly.

"Haven't you heard of the saying that it's easier to invite a god than to send him away? This county lady thinks this dungeon is great. It's warm in winter and cool in summer and very comfortable. I want to stay here for another ten days or half a month."

The jailer remembered the task assigned by Su Yongcheng. If he failed to drive Su Lanyin out, he would not only lose his official uniform but also be beaten with a stick.

So he bowed quickly and said, "Auntie, please go. Can't I carry you out? What's so good about this shabby place? It's so much more free outside!"

"Heh~ Go tell Su Yongcheng that you want me to leave? No way!"

Don't think that she doesn't know what the Su family is planning. They just want her to go out and distribute food to appease the people.

Think beautiful!

Anyway, the people will make trouble, and Su Yongcheng will have to pay the bill with his own money. This time, she will empty out all the private money he has saved!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

Su Lanyin looked up and saw that it was Su Lanxin with a group of officials.

She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Why, even Miss Su has come out in person? But this county lady is too arrogant, and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can be invited."

Su Lanxin snorted coldly: "Humph, who do you think you are to be invited by me? Don't worry, you can stay as long as you like, but no one will bring you food or water. It doesn't matter whether you die of hunger or thirst!"

"Oh, Miss Su is still so poor. She can't even afford to give me something to eat or drink."

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you! Someone, get those two old men out!"

"Yes!"

The officers immediately rushed into the cell and helped up the two old men who were squatting nearby.

"Please come with us, both of you."

After saying this, he dragged the two old men out of the cell without saying anything.

Su Lanyin did not stop him when she saw this.

After all, Su Lanxin's posture didn't look like she wanted to kill to silence the witness. Instead, she looked very polite, as if she wanted to ask a favor.
