Different from Jinyintai, which is inhabited by dignitaries, Qingyunzhai has a quiet and elegant environment, and is mostly inhabited by common people with relatively poor lives, some literati, and some merchants.

After hearing Jiang Wenjin say that he was the owner of Qingyunzhai, the crowd gathered not far away went crazy.

"Ah, this is actually the owner of Qingyunzhai and Jinyintai? What a handsome young man! I thought he was an old man..."

"Oh my God! I'm so excited. I heard that his whereabouts are elusive and no one knows his true identity except Your Majesty. Today... I can actually meet him..."

"That's enough for me to brag about for a year!"

"It's only been a year, but that's enough for me to brag about for three years!"

"Be quiet, I want to continue listening..."

"..."

Yue Liuyun rubbed his eyebrows.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Wenjin should be Nangong Mingzhu's person.

But his information has always been confidential, and he has always acted in secret. Why would he suddenly show up at this time and reveal his identity in public?

Is there any plan?

Yue Liuyun originally felt a little clearer, but now he was filled with doubts and puzzled.

Jiang Wenjin bowed to Liu Zeyin and said solemnly, "General Qiming, today's incident was caused by the negligence of Qingyunzhai. I will visit you another day to apologize."

"No need." Liu Zeyin said in a deep voice.

His words just now were obviously intended to protect Su Xi. Although Yue Liuyun knew that Jiang Wenjin was very likely one of his own, he also felt that his way of handling the matter was inappropriate.

If he did something wrong, would he not be punished just because he is powerful?

She said calmly, "Boss Jiang, it was clearly Young Master Su who was harassing these girls just now, and his men even injured them. But based on what you just said, are you... trying to take the blame for him?"

"I'm so ashamed," Jiang Wenjin gave Yue Liuyun an apologetic smile and nodded slightly, "I have a friend who wants to personally teach Young Master Su a lesson. Miss, don't worry, I will definitely make him bear the corresponding responsibilities."

Yue Liuyun suddenly turned his gaze to Su Xi.

Su Xi's face was still pale, his fingertips were trembling, and his palms were soaked with cold sweat.

Although he was usually arrogant and rude due to his status, he was not qualified to speak in front of them at this moment. One was General Qiming of Zhendong, one of the Four Generals of Zhendong, and the other was the richest man in Daying. Not only him, but even his father would be polite to them in the presence of them.

"Young Master Su," Yue Liuyun called him, his expression calm, "Do you think... you were wrong?"

Not to be offended.

Su Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, young lady."

...Forgiveness? If it weren't for Liu Zeyin and Jiang Wenjin's face, how could he possibly apologize to these women!

Yue Liuyun seemed to see what he was thinking and suddenly smiled.

She shook her head and said to Jiang Wenjin, "Boss Jiang, you're using your status and position to make someone bow their head according to the circumstances. What's the point of this apology that's not sincere?"

Perhaps this is the reality. Power, identity and status are the means and confidence to deal with everything.

She also experienced the feeling of being a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others.

But this feeling... is really unpleasant.

If there were no Liu Zeyin and Jiang Wenjin, she would just be a poor student like those five girls. Could she have made Su Xi admit her mistake and apologize so easily?

"Fairness" is to protect the weak and restrain the strong.

But when justice and fairness need to be judged according to the circumstances and are linked to power and interests, the weak will no longer have a chance to turn things around.

"I just want to ask, since Young Master Su has violated the laws of Daying, will he act in accordance with the law?" Yue Liuyun asked seriously.

"This..." Jiang Wenjin was about to speak.

"meeting."

The one who answered her was another male voice.

I saw a neatly dressed man walking towards me. His face was 70% similar to Su Xi, but he was less youthful and looked more mature. His expression was solemn and he had a bleak temperament like the autumn wind.

Yue Liuyun knew him.

He is Su Xi's elder brother, the eldest son of the Su family, and the Minister of Dali Temple, Su Shaoran.

Su Shaoran was a man of taciturn character, upright and magnanimous. Unlike other officials, he rarely submitted nonsense reports. He often proposed to amend some unreasonable aspects of Daying's laws, and would also analyze actual cases thoroughly. He could be said to be upright and incorruptible.

His father was the Minister of Justice. Although he was a little more old-fashioned than Su Shaoran, he was also honest and upright.

It is hard to imagine how such a noble family could give birth to a rare talent like Su Xi.

Gene mutation, it must be a gene mutation.

Great biology explains everything.

Yue Liuyun thought.

Could it be that Su Shaoran is the "friend" Jiang Wenjin mentioned?

At this moment, Jiang Wenjin looked back and saw Su Shaoran coming here as well. He was surprised and said with a smile:

"My Qingyunzhai is really bustling today. The eldest son of the Su family is here..."

He looked surprised, as if he had no idea Su Shaoran was coming.

Ok.

not him.

Yue Liuyun immediately denied his previous guess.

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered:

"Qingyunzhai is really bustling today. This is really interesting. The eldest son of the Su family is here to arrest his younger brother again."

Another person said:

"Hey, you know what? What a coincidence! The last time a similar scene happened was in Wanhua Tower. I happened to witness it with my own eyes. I didn't expect it to be the same today. Hahahaha..."

The man, as if blindly spotting something, asked curiously, "You saw it with your own eyes? So, you also went to Wanhua Tower?"

"..."

Su Shaoran simply glanced at Su Xi calmly, but Su Xi was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat on his back.

Spicy balls.

"Brother, I..."

"Shut up."

"..."

The natural blood suppression made Su Xi seem to have lost all his means and strength.

Su Shaoran bowed respectfully and said:

"No one knows Daying's laws better than me. In the past, when he indulged in extravagance and lacked knowledge, I simply dealt with him according to family rules. Today, he has gone too far and dared to openly bully the examinees. I will definitely not protect him."

Su Xi lowered his head and dared not speak.

Su Shaoran continued:

"General Qiming and Boss Jiang are here to testify. If I am protecting my brother, you can impeach me before His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will not forgive this crime lightly."

Liu Zeyin said calmly: "Okay."

Jiang Wenjin also nodded.

Yue Liuyun bowed and said, "I still trust the character of Lord Su."

"It's just that...this subject has something else to say to Young Master Su. I hope Master Su will agree."

Su Shaoran nodded slightly: "I'm really sorry about what happened today. Miss, just speak frankly."

Yue Liuyun turned his gaze towards Su Xi and spoke slowly, "Young Master Su, how about... let's make a bet?"
