Chapter 157: A Puzzling Request

Zhao Su almost choked on her saliva!

Damn this she can’t answer ah, no, the key is how this matter let him know?

She stood with bated breath, under the emperor’s gaze could not help but want to slip away, but obviously she could not slip away.

Bravely looked at him two eyes, she said: “emperor this I do not understand.”

“Then I don’t call the eunuchs over, in front of your face to the He family that matter?”

The emperor’s gaze was so cool that he made it clear that he didn’t want Zhao Su to muddle through.

Zhao Su cleared his throat and had to say, “I didn’t do anything, just after I returned home, I happened to hear that there was a He family’s hustle and bustle on the streets, so I ran over. And I didn’t do anything, just spoke a few words of justice.”

So it was the eunuch who said that, when tomorrow she went to look for Si Xi, to see which one of the talkative ones had stabbed him?

“That can be rare, last time rubbing broken elbow just for the black complaint, almost did not splash and roll, you can still why condone that granddaughter to speak out?”

“Why can’t I? My heart is not black.” Besides, what does it mean to sue for blackmail? The most she could do was to do a bit of proper artistic processing!

The emperor let out a cold, “So, you didn’t even know what happened to the He family, so you stepped in to fight for it?”

Zhao Su didn’t say anything this time.

Watching the matter she can say, anyway, can not hide, but the mansion He Wan Yu that part she can not say, even if He Wan Yu again hate, that picture is too embarrassing, people hate is people’s business, she can not be a person without integrity. What’s more, this kind of thing is the vassal’s family affairs, but also involves the reputation of the young ladies, even if said the emperor is not possible to intervene, also can not intervene.

The emperor did not pursue the question, a moment only said: “That Wu Xiuping and He Wan Yu, what is the cat’s meow?”

Zhao Su was shocked, he actually even knew this!

This wouldn’t be something a eunuch could inquire about, right?

She curiously said, “You usually have nothing to do, are you often sending people to the streets to search for gossip to relieve boredom?”

The emperor looked at her sideways, “Then do you have gossip for me to listen to?”

“I do not.” Zhao Su said, “I also don’t know what the two of them were about there. But I seem to have heard them say that He Wan Yu had asked Wu Xiuping to play a golden hairpin, but I haven’t figured out why playing a golden hairpin was chosen to meet there. And why did He Wan Yu spend so much money on a golden hairpin?”

The emperor’s fan was still shaking. He didn’t say anything after hearing this, but just sipped his tea in passing.

Zhao Su had been extra attentive to He Zong lately because of the Flower Moon Society, but with this kind of incident, she was really good at making a big deal out of it. However, thinking of yesterday’s emperor promised her to help solve this big obstacle He Zong, she could not help but ask: “Cabinet side of the estimates you have read it? Is not the pressure will not have any problem?”

The emperor put his fan away and actually sighed, “It is indeed more difficult. Today, the shipbuilding matter is not yet done properly, the task of building twenty ships, today only thirteen have been implemented. Really want to spend money in the next few years, now approved your opinion, this money will have to be divided out in advance. He Zong took the delay into consideration, his opinion is not without merit.”

Zhao Su paused, “That won’t cost much! All the counties combined will only cost 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver per year.”

The emperor held the fan in his hand, “If the shipbuilding matter is implemented, perhaps money is indeed not a big problem. The point is, right now it just hasn’t materialized yet.”

Zhao Su was a bit anxious: “Then where is the problem?”

“Sea ships are different from ordinary ships, need to have enough strength, He Zong identified the dockyard, I heard that their family has some internal disputes to be resolved.”

Zhao Su heard that this was the case and relaxed a bit. “That is to say, when the dockyard has finished dealing with the disputes, the shipbuilding matter will also be settled.”

“It also depends on He Zong.”

The emperor was concise.

Zhao Su actually wanted to lobby for more, but felt that as the emperor, speaking to this point was already meaningful enough. He can not ignore the other and only for you to favoritism, the actual situation here, set a precedent that has never been seen before, he also bear the risk.

At least he said the key lies in He Zong’s ability to finalize the ship. The big deal is that she will wait a little longer! It wasn’t like she was in a hurry.

“Your Majesty,” at this time, Marquis Qing Yun held two scrolls and walked out, “The situation of the Jiangnan navy cantonment ten years ago is here, it’s considered more complete.”

The Emperor waved his fan at Zhao Su, and then he got up and opened the dossiers.

Zhao Su took it as him telling him to stand down, and went out the door in a sharp manner.

Back to the room, flowers want to Rong just came back, in addition to the trial of the woman surnamed Liu, the rest is still nothing asked out. On the contrary, the He family side of a bit of movement, He Zong in the Yamen, the family’s affairs he did not care about tube, He Minhong in the morning went to the Wu family, looking for Wu Xiuping asked questions.

Out of his face gloomy, Wu Xiuping family also followed, directly to yesterday’s accident mansion to go.

Not long after, Wu Xiu Ping’s boy brought a person, the guards from their conversation to obtain information, the original mansion is Wu Xiu Ping through the later this person to find, and then inquired about the whereabouts of the woman, and then the man could not answer.

He claimed that after the incident, he also immediately went to find the mansion’s “owner”, but all over the search, the so-called oil and paper shopkeeper, is simply a street gangster, I do not know where to go, and the woman is not his wife!

Zhao Su from the stroke out a little eyebrow, it seems that Wu Xiuping is long been given a set, waiting for them to God unknowingly into the set.

Yesterday, if she did not have this accident, it should be Wu Xiuping was planted successfully, and then with He Wan Yu together in front of the subsequent arrival of the officers and soldiers were caught in front of the right, and then completely in front of the arrival of the family of the He has ended the way.

If this is what Yu Qingping did ……

She asked, “Why did He Wan Yu have this fate?”

Hua Wanyu shook her head.

Zhao Su frowned.

At this time, Hua Wanyong looked deeply back towards her, “If the murderer is Yu Qingping, it won’t be hard to guess. Because it is said that He Wan Yu is making new clothes and picking out new heads and faces for the upcoming Wan Shou Festival, according to Yu Qing Ping’s jealousy that she can’t even tolerate you, it’s really hard to say if she is removing a thorn in her side in advance.”

Zhao Su was shocked, “Is this woman crazy?!”

Just because He Wan Yu wanted to be in the limelight? But there were so many people who wanted to make a splash at the Longevity Festival, did she set out to remove them one by one?

“This person is too gloomy, it’s hard to guarantee if she has any dangerous ideas!” Hua Xiangrong skimmed her mouth, “Last time I saw his younger brother Yu Zhaorong in the teahouse, it seems like he didn’t treat her very well either, growing up in this kind of inner mansion, it’s not strange that he’s just crazy!”
