Chapter 20 Time changes and the world changes

The rain in the capital has stopped.

Su Yao and the butler waited for a long time before Tian Mansion, but they didn't even have to enter the mansion gate.

"Su, don't wait here, it's in the way."

The instructor of Tian’s mansion was very rude to Su Yao. Judging from this attitude, he would not let Su Yao enter the mansion, and he did not intend to communicate to Su Yao.

Su Yao naturally would not give up. Just as she was about to continue to waste, a carriage stopped in front of the Tian Mansion, and a man in his twenties got off the carriage and walked towards her with a smile.

"Isn't this Yao Mei? Isn't it here to discuss business with my Tian family today, right?"

When this person comes, he speaks very rudely, and the teasing tone he speaks is no better than Zhang Yanling.

Su Yao looked very evasive and said, "Prince Tian, ​​please respect yourself."

This young man is the nephew of Tian Rushan, the master of Tian’s family. Tian Ying is now working in the Tian family business.

Tian Ying smiled with a malicious look when she heard this, "My sister Yao is still so distant, she doesn't even see the current situation clearly? The Su family is still qualified to come and discuss business with my Tian family? The scenery of the Tian family was ruined by your father!"

Su Yao's face was sad and wanted to go forward for another four or five years. Most of the medicinal materials business in the capital was contracted by the Su family.

However, after Ye Qi became the Minister of Revenue, everything changed. The capital shopping mall became the world of Hui merchants. Any business that did not rely on the Ministry of Revenue would become increasingly difficult to do.

"I heard again that your Su family owes a lot of foreign debts. I guess the creditors will come to the door in the next few days. If you can't hold on to Yaomei, don't just stay in the mansion. Bring some dowry to my Tian Mansion. I'll take you in."

Tian Ying said, and wanted to come up and be stubborn with Su Yaomao.

Su Yao was so disgusted in her heart. She thought Tian Ying would say that she would borrow money and make a living by herself, but she said that she would take the initiative to pay for her with some dowry. She heard that she wanted to pluck her hair by the geese.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please tell me about the master of the mansion. If you have something to do, you will see him." Su Yao avoided and said in a nice voice.

Seeing that he failed, Tian Ying did not dare to do too much to Su Yao in broad daylight.

"My sister Yao, you should recognize the status quo. What if you see my uncle? Originally, the Tian family planned to buy your medicinal materials at 10% of the market price. Now that I have saved it, I will blame the Jianchang Bo who came out inexplicably. This ignorant playboy and foreign relative didn't know what was wrong. He insisted on going against my Tian family, probably because he wanted to plunder my Tian family's property."

"I don't think about how backer I have behind the Tian family. Can he be shaken by his relatives who are scolded by everyone? Haha! He is humiliating himself."

When Tian Ying said this, she didn't know how proud she was.

After hearing this, Su Yao felt depressed.

After Tian Ying finished speaking, she did not stop and led her people straight into Tian’s mansion, even the door was shut to death.

...

...

"Miss, let's?"

The housekeeper next to him was still a little sad, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Su Yao murmured as if she was lost in her mind: "Go back to home."

Su Yao seemed to be walking on the street aimlessly, and she was already deeply guilty: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't advised my father to rely on Jianchang Bo, I wouldn't have fallen to this point, Jianchang Bo..."

Thinking of this person, Su Yao clenched her fists in hatred.

But I couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of my eyes.

The master and servant Su Yao and his servant walked on the road for a long time before returning to the door of the Su Mansion, but they saw someone who was about to see the sword waiting at the door.

"Is this Miss Su? We are here to come and ask you to come and go through the mansion on the order of Jianchang Bo."

The people who came were all dressed in straw raincoats and vaguely saw that the clothes inside were very luxurious. These people were not from Jianchang Bo Mansion, nor were ordinary yamen servants, but the Jinyiwei sent by Jin Qi to escort Su Yao over.

Zhang Yanling knew about the recent situation of the Su family and was worried that someone would come to ask Su Yao for trouble, so he specially asked Jin Qi to send a few more troops. If there was any trouble, he could solve it on the spot.

Su Yao didn't bother to think too much, she muttered herself, "Does Jianchang Bo want to take advantage of the situation?"

"Miss Su, what did you say?"

Jinyiwei didn’t know what festivals Su Yao and Zhang Yanling had.

They were still thinking about going back early and following Zhang Yanling on a business trip. This time the case was to investigate the big merchants in the capital. The wealth behind them was quite rich, and they were all waiting to make a fortune.

Su Yao didn't say more. After taking a few steps, she looked back at the house with reluctance. There was a helplessness in her eyes, so she went to Jianchang Bo Mansion with Jinyiwei.

...

...

Su Yao followed the Jinyiwei to the outside of Jianchang Bo Mansion and instantly felt that the atmosphere here was not right.

A large number of officers and soldiers gathered outside Jianchang Bo, and there were many people coming and going in and out of the mansion. Many of them were yamen servants or wearing official uniforms, as if something was happening in the mansion.

Su Yao wondered: "Has Jianchang Bo Mansion been raided?"

She could not ask more, so she could only follow the Jinyiwei to the inside. When she was about to reach the main hall, she heard a vulgar voice saying something loudly: "...... There are six or seven pink heads in the railing near the City God in Jinchengfang in the west of the city. They are said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are first-class water spirits. They are not selling their skills. The madam said that they will cost dozens of taels of silver overnight in the future, which should be your appetite for cousin."

Su Yao frowned after hearing this.

In broad daylight, someone was talking about the affairs of the tragedy. It was so unscrupulous that it was simply a traitor.

Then she heard Zhang Yanling's voice: "I didn't think you were old and you know a lot. Next time I asked you to go with me."

"It is my honor to be able to go with my cousin. In the past, I wanted to invite my cousin to visit a brothel and I didn't have a chance to do so. Then I will bring more brothers to see..."

Su Yao frowned even deeper.

Su Yao finally arrived at the entrance of the main hall of Jianchang Bo Mansion, but saw that there were many people gathered inside. The young man who was just talking was a tall and handsome man in the government. He could have left a good first impression on a woman, but because of what he said just now, Su Yao had become a shameless bastard in her heart.

When Zhang Yanling saw Su Yao coming, he smiled and stood up and said, "I'll say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive. Miss Su really makes us wait."

"The little woman has met Jianchang Bo."

Su Yao curled her body and saluted her. Before Zhang Yanling could speak, she asked in a question: "Now that my father has been taken away by the government, should Jianchang Bo fulfill his promise to help me? Should I just watch my Su Mansion suffer an unjust injustice?"

He spoke very quickly, as if he was a continuous cannon. Zhang Yanling expected that Su Yao had suffered too much in the past two days, so she burst out like this.

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Miss Su, you are too anxious. You don't even know what to do. Let me ask you now. I'll introduce you to my little cousin, Jin Qi, the deputy deputy of Jinyiwei, came here to cooperate with me to investigate the case."

"ah?"

Su Yao was shocked when she heard this.

The young man who just thought he was just a shameless villain was actually a 5th-rank Jinyiwei deputy Qianhu?

She had heard of the name of the Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei was a dragon but the head was not seen. That was not something that ordinary people could afford. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei would not go to the market for no reason to provoke these merchants.

Before Su Yao could make any statement, Jin Qi came over and saluted and said, "Little Jin Qi, I have met my cousin's wife."

Perhaps it was because Jin Qi was accustomed to flattering his boss, and he called himself a "small" when he saw someone. He just heard that Zhang Yanling had the intention to take Su Yao away, so he would come over to flatter him when he saw the master?

Su Yao was very embarrassed when she heard this.

Zhang Yanling cursed: "You guy don't know how to be careful when speaking. Miss Su's reputation is your casual destruction? Miss Su, let's sit down and talk?"

First, Ling Ran went to scold Jin Qi with justice, turned around and changed into a treacherous smile to look at Su Yao.

Su Yao was full of questions and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what is the case you mentioned?"

Su Yao can no longer believe Zhang Yanling now.

This playboy's uncle likes to make trouble. He had previously said that he would investigate the case and mobilize Shuntian Mansion, making the Su family think that he could fight a turnaround battle. Unexpectedly, the Su family was in trouble first in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "Ms. Su, time has changed, and we must learn to look at problems from a developmental perspective. To talk about the affairs of the pharmaceutical merchants in the capital, thanks to the clues provided by the Su family, this Miss Su is also a capable person. On this list, how clearly does all the goods warehouses and residences involved in the business of the case be listed?"

"Miss Su, don't worry, I have sent someone to the Ministry of Justice to ask for someone. It is estimated that within half an hour, Ling Zun will return home. You can't take it lightly. You still need your help in this investigation. You won't give up, right?"

"Me?" Su Yao was confused.

The transformation of great sorrow and joy is too hasty.

She was unprepared and felt very unreal.

Su Yao thought to herself: "Isn't this shameless person doing anything again, right?"

Jin Qi came over and said with a smile: "Cousin, since Miss Su has arrived, should we set out earlier? If the time is delayed and the goods are transported away by those traitors, it would be a big problem."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, you are still too young. Do you think you didn't make arrangements for your brother in advance? This is thanks to Zhang's official in Shuntian Prefecture. If you want to say that this official Zhang is a capable minister, he realized a few days in advance that the thief might transfer stolen goods, so he discussed with me a few days ago and secretly sent a yamen to follow him. Even if the thief had the goods transferred, the transfer route and storage location were clear."

While they were talking, Zhang Yu, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Shangguan from the Jinyiwei walked in from the door of the main hall.

"The official has met Jianchang Bo." Zhang Yu bowed to Zhang Yanling with a natural smile.

Zhang Yanling's eyes fell on Shangguan of the Jinyiwei, and Jin Qi quickly went over and instructed him: "Cousin, this is Han Ting, the governor of the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi, and the governor of the Han Dynasty, and this is Jianchang Bo."

"It turned out to be Han Zhenfu, who has been admired for a long time."

"I have met Jianchangbo. This time, I was ordered by the emperor to cooperate with Jianchangbo to handle the case. What is Jianchangbo's dispatch? The Jinyiwei must serve as a subordinate to the work of the dog and horse."

Su Yao was already a little excited when she saw these big guys in front of her.

It is Jianchang Bo and the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. Now even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and the Fufu Envoy of the Jinyiwei Beizhenfu Office have appeared, and they are also said that they are under the order of the emperor to handle the case.
