Reborn, meet you again!

When Song Wan returned to the Jiang family, Hong Chang, who had gone out to gather information, also came back.

It is said that Chen Tai did fight with Su Ziyao that day, but because Su Ziyao had several followers around him, he only punched him once, and Su Ziyao's injuries were not very serious.

Instead, several of Su Ziyao's followers fought back, and Chen Tai was injured more seriously.

Later, after the interrogation by Lord Liang, the Jingzhao Yin, he immediately concluded that since Chen Tai was the first to attack, it was naturally Chen Tai's fault, and Su Ziyao was only protecting himself. He put all the blame on Chen Tai, saying that he had deliberately assaulted the royal family.

"Miss, I heard from the yamen runners that assaulting a royal relative is punishable by severe punishment."

"I just don't know why Lord Liang hasn't made a formal ruling since he made his decision on the case. That's why he's only detained Chen Tai for the time being."

Hong Shang thought for a moment and then said again.

"Miss, I feel that Chen Tai has always been a steady and prudent person. This time he lost his temper. Perhaps Su Ziyao did something to anger him..."

Song Wan thought so too.

Although she didn't know what Su Ziyao had done, she felt relieved after listening to Hong Shang's explanation of the whole story.

If what Hong Shang said is true, the word "beating" is indeed an exaggeration. Once Jun Jiuchen comes forward, he will at most be punished with a beating and then be released.

However, when Song Wan heard that the Jingzhao Yin had already decided the case but had not yet officially announced the verdict, he frowned slightly.

If Su Ziyao really wanted to deal with Chen Tai, since he had already brought him to see the authorities, why did he delay sentencing him?

What is he waiting for?

Could it be...

His target, isn't he?

Thinking of the maid who suddenly came to his house today, Song Wan became more and more certain that he was right not to rush to Hongxiu Zhao today.

Although she and Su Ziyao had never met and had no grudges against each other, Su Ziyao was close to Shen Jiahe...

It would not be surprising if she used the same trick again and used Su Ziyao to deal with her. They tricked her into going to Hongxiuzhao, perhaps intending to use the "Yaoying" on her as well.

Song Wan thought about putting aside the speculation in her mind for the time being.

"I understand. The Regent has already promised to resolve this matter today. Chen Tai should be fine."

"Take your men to Jingzhao Yin tomorrow and bring him back. As for the reason, we'll find out once we ask him when he comes out."

I just don't know how much Nie Shuangshuang was involved in these things...

Hong Chang nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Jun Jiuchen was very quick and didn't even show up in person. He just asked Suifeng to pass a message to the Jingzhao Yin. The next morning, Lord Liang sent someone to the Su Mansion to pass on the message to Su Ziang.

He said that Chen Tai would be sentenced today and asked him to come over.

Su Ziyao, who was at home thinking about how to get Song Wan to come to his house and beg him to let Chen Tai go, was a little confused when he heard the message from the servant.

He had already told Lord Liang that this man should be detained first, so why was he suddenly so anxious?

but……

Since Jiang Wanqiao didn't want to go to Hongxiuzhao, it wouldn't hurt for him to go there himself...

As long as he asked Lord Liang to sentence Chen Tai to a heavy sentence, she didn't believe that Jiang Wanqiao would be able to remain calm and not come to beg him.

Thinking of this, Su Ziyao went out with a determination to win.

But when he arrived at Jingzhao Yin and heard Lord Liang say that he was going to release the man after only giving him thirty lashes, Su Ziyao's face changed immediately.

"Master Liang, Chen Tai attacked me. How can you let him go so easily?"

"Didn't you say last time that beating a member of the royal family would result in imprisonment for ten or eight years at the very least, or even death or exile at the worst? Why is it that now you're just letting it go with a mild beating?"

Su Ziyao looked at Lord Liang thoughtfully.

"Master Liang, could it be that he accepted bribes from someone?"

He heard from his cousin that the Jiang family was once the richest family in Jiangnan. They easily took out one million taels of silver to purchase food and fodder for the Pei family.

It is not impossible that Jiang Wanqiao used some silver to bribe Lord Liang.

Although Lord Liang was not very happy after hearing Su Ziyao's words, he did not want to offend him, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and spoke.

"Mr. Su, you are joking. How could this official not distinguish the important from the unimportant?"

"The truth is... early this morning, the Regent sent someone to tell me that he had already had a thorough investigation into the dispute between Chen Tai and you, and asked me to "handle Chen Tai impartially" without the slightest deviation."

"You also know that the dispute between you and Chen Tai was not an intentional assault. I really have no other choice..."

Lord Liang said this and looked at Su Ziang with some embarrassment.

"Although Master Su has only been in the capital for a short time, he must have heard of the Regent's ruthless methods. If he gets hold of something against me and accuses me of dereliction of duty, I might not even be able to keep my official position."

"Master Su, please understand my difficulties. If you truly have objections...why don't I put this matter aside for a day, and you go and speak to the Regent in person? Once the Prince changes his mind, I'll make the final decision..."

When Su Ziyao heard that it was Jun Jiuchen who intervened in this matter, he immediately became furious.

Ok.

It would have been fine if Jun Jiuchen had turned a blind eye to the goodwill shown by the Su family and not allowed the young emperor to give him and his father official positions, but now he was actually blatantly trying to sabotage him and ruin his good deeds for the sake of a small merchant's daughter.

He saw that he was really determined to make things difficult for their Su family!

Lord Liang looked at Su Ziyao, who was angry but silent, and called him again with some uncertainty.

"Mr. Su... look..."

Although Su Ziyao was extremely angry, he also knew that even if this matter was brought to Su Jinyue's attention, she would not help him.

And discuss it with Jun Jiuchen?

He can't even enter the Regent's Palace, so what's the point of discussing it?

In order not to lose face in front of Lord Liang, he could only suppress his indignation for the time being and speak as calmly as possible.

"Well, thirty lashes are thirty lashes! I'm not that petty. After all, he's someone the Queen Mother values. Since he's come forward to protect Chen Tai, I'll reluctantly give him this favor."
