Chapter 410 Scene
The fire had not been completely extinguished yet, and the yamen runners were still pouring water on it.
Ying Liu stood in the middle, pursing her lips. "I was really surprised when Ji Changming kissed me, but I'm just a gigolo, and I just came to Hongxiu Tower. I don't have any background or anyone to rely on . What can I do? How can I refuse? He is Mr. Ji. If I piss him off, I'm afraid I can't stay in Yulin, let alone Hongxiu Tower."
He knew that what Yingliu said was all false, and he only cooperated with Su Qingqing for the effect of the scene.
But her sadness and helplessness still made Mo Duo feel deeply pained.
Mo Duo grabbed Ying Liu 's hand again and looked at Su Qing Qing, "Is there anything else you need to explain?"
He knew that Ying Liu's only purpose in appearing here was to cooperate with Su Qingqing, but now, he didn't want to let this cooperation continue at all, he just wanted to take the person away.
Su Qingqing glanced at Mo Duo, then turned to the mother of Hongxiulou and said, "As far as I know, if nothing unexpected happens, this Miss Jiaojiao should be the Kyoto fugitive, the daughter of Bai Er, the steward of Duke Xue's mansion. Qiaoyue had an argument with her. What was the argument that made the two of them so excited that Qiaoyue threw the person off the building? This Miss Jiaojiao is not an ordinary woman. Her kung fu is not very high, but she knows a little bit of boxing and kicking. How could Qiaoyue throw her down easily?"
Hongxiulou's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Qingqing in shock and horror.
Yingliu was so frightened that she trembled and fell to her knees.
"Please spare me, Madam, please spare me. I am just an ordinary girl. I don't know anything about what my father did. My father is usually in Kyoto and never comes back to his hometown. I ran away because my father got into trouble and I was bullied by my uncles and aunts in my hometown. I really didn't do anything bad and I don't know anything else."
Su Qingqing ignored her and said to Lu Yun, "Please Sir Lu, arrest Qiao Yue. I want to ask her in person what the dispute was about yesterday!"
Lu Yun was in a panic.
Yulin is home to eight major families, and now more and more people are being drawn in.
What happened today felt like a small fire starter, but somehow, the flame grew from a single point into a prairie fire, growing bigger and bigger.
He was out of control and had completely become a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
But Su Qingqing said it clearly and in public, so he had no choice but to capture Qiao Yue.
Ying Liu's words just now surprised the owner of the Bai family store. Others didn't know Bai Er's daughter, but he had seen her. He knew that Bai Er's daughter definitely didn't look like .
But he had no right to expose her.
Even if he wanted to expose the truth, he shouldn't do it now, but should meet Lu Yun and Hongxiulou's mother in private.
But who knows what might happen in an instant? He didn't dare to gamble. The shopkeeper of the Bai family was struggling in his heart.
Xiao Yu stood beside Su Qingqing and looked at him without blinking.
Just as the shopkeeper of the Bai family clenched his fist and was about to take a step forward, a man suddenly came out of the crowd and walked straight towards him.
The man walked around behind the owner of Bai's shop and patted him on the shoulder. The owner of Bai's shop turned around and was startled when he saw the person in front of him.
The man didn't know what he said to him. His clenched fists gradually loosened. He looked back at Ying Liu, sighed, and finally said to Lu Yun and Su Qingqing: "My lady, sir, is there anything else I can do for you? If not, I want to go and calculate the losses of the shop."
Lu Yun waved his hand, "Don't destroy the scene."
The shopkeeper immediately said, "Yes, yes, I understand."
After saying that, he bowed to Su Qingqing, turned around and left.
People from all over the city gathered here to watch the fun. Walking out of the crowd, the shopkeeper of Bai's shop asked the newcomers, "Why are you here?"
The man said, "Our governor has been arrested, and we brothers can't starve to death. We have been hiding from the limelight for a while, and now that we are safe, we are back to our old jobs."
As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd behind him with curiosity, "What happened?"
The shopkeeper of the Bai family didn't respond, but just asked, "When did you arrive?"
The man said, "I just arrived. I came to your store to look for you, but your place is like this."
As he spoke, he took out an order and slapped it to the shopkeeper. "According to this allocation, this batch of goods is needed urgently. We will leave as soon as we get the goods. We will try to make more trips. You don't know that the price of food outside has gone crazy. We can earn four or five times the price in the past by making two trips."
There was greed in his eyes, and the shopkeeper of Bai's shop saw it clearly. He accepted the order and said, "I'm afraid you can't ship this product out."
"Why?" The man was stunned.
The shopkeeper said, "See, the one with a bulging belly in the crowd? That's the Empress. She came to Yulin this time specifically to collect grain. Can you deliver the goods under her nose?"
The man laughed when he heard it, "I thought it was something else, it turns out to be this, of course it can be transported out, what's wrong with the Queen, no matter how powerful the Queen is, isn't Marquis Rong'an still living a carefree life in Qianzhou?"
The shopkeeper was stunned. He was really stunned by the series of unexpected events today.
How could I forget that the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Xu Kefeng, has always been following the path of Marquis Rong'an. Although Xu Kefeng has fallen, Marquis Rong'an is still here. Moreover, there is a famine everywhere now, and Marquis Rong'an may not have an easy time either.
He pulled the man aside and said in a low voice, "Be honest with me, who did you deliver this batch of goods for?"
The man immediately laughed, "It's enough if you know it in your heart. Why do you have to ask so clearly? Is that interesting?"
This means that it is acknowledged that the goods were shipped to Marquis Rong'an.
Then he has nothing to be afraid of.
These people are old people who picked up the goods from him and have always been working with Xu Kefeng and Rong Anhou, so they cannot be Su Qingqing's people.
"Okay, when do you want the goods?"
"Of course, the sooner the better. If we set off earlier, we can make two more trips."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Tonight, I will fill your cart with goods before midnight. As usual, you can park your carriage in my yard. When the time comes, you can just take the goods and leave."
The man smiled and said, "Okay, that's it!"
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, just waved and left.
As soon as he left, the shopkeeper did not return to the crowd, but turned and walked towards the military camp in the suburbs.
On this side of the crowd, Lu Yun had no choice but to bring Qiao Yue to the scene.
Since Su Qingqing didn't mention going back to the yamen, he didn't want to bring it up either, so he could only interrogate Qiao Yue in the street.
Hongxiulou's mother nervously clenched her handkerchief in both hands, fearing that Qiaoyue would say something she shouldn't. Qiaoyue was not stupid, and she confessed directly that the dispute between her and Jiaojiao was that she was jealous that Jiaojiao made such a big scene yesterday and didn't give her face.
