Chapter Eighty-Six: The Envoy
"What's the situation, so many people have to be punished?"
Su Jiao was puzzled and wanted to laugh again, and then a small official with a tall hat made of black gauze came out from behind the door, "Mrs. Xiao, the lower officials and others have been waiting here for a long time, please come here with me." ”
"Okay, what about Huai'an?" Su Jiao blinked, and only when she agreed to come down did she see the row of officials at the door, and there was no voice from Xiao Huai'an.
"Lord Xiao is in the back, because the adults still have important matters to deal with, so it is inconvenient to come to greet Madame, Madame will come with us and wait in the room next to me for a while."
The little official had a smile on his face, looking very polite, but behind his smile it felt a little playful. Su Jiao raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little curious about how Xiao Huai'an handled last night's incident.
She followed the men through the corridor next to the courtyard, and then walked through a water corridor over the pond, and came to the row of rooms behind the lobby of the Yamen of the Imperial Tower.
This row of rooms has a separate courtyard, which is usually used to accumulate evidence, as well as a separate study room used by Xiao Huai'an for his office. While listening to the introduction of the little official, Su Jiao walked over and carefully looked at the various arrangements in each room through the window paper with her eyes.
"Madame, please rest here for a while, and when the lower official goes to ask for Lord Xiao's instructions, he will lead Madame over." The little official smiled lightly and opened the door, and then a young man passing by here happened to have a cup of tea in his hand to entertain Su Jiao.
Su Jiao nodded, but before she could walk in, she could clearly hear the angry scolding of a slurred person coming from the next room.
Listening to this accent, it should also be from the Wa Kingdom, Su Jiao pursed her mouth and exchanged a look with the little official, who immediately showed a very bright smile and reached out to the room to make a gesture of please.
"Madame doesn't have to mind, this is also inevitable, Madame should please come in first."
"Oh~" Su Jiao raised her eyebrows, sighed meaningfully, and took advantage of the fact that the little official was not paying attention, and stepped over a few steps to stand outside the door next door.
Dare to shout at Xiao Huai'an so arrogantly, she is really curious about what kind of identity this person is.
When the little official saw her like this, he was immediately frightened, waved his hand forward, and whispered again and again, "Madam, this is not suitable, this is not suitable, let's wait for a while." ”
"What's this, anyway, I'll definitely see this person for a while, one step earlier and one step later, what's the matter, no matter how wordy you are, the people inside will hear it."
Su Jiao tilted her ear, raised her index finger again, and made a silent gesture in front of her lips, and the little official immediately covered her mouth, not daring to say anything more.
Mu Rong saw helplessness in her heart, and wanted to step forward to help persuade her, but before her hand touched Su Jiao's shoulder, the door actually opened by itself.
Su Jiao was startled, reflexively straightened up, put her hands behind her back, and beckoned with a smile as if she had just seen Xiao Huai'an, "Oh, Huai'an is so coincidental, I just happened to come here, what are you looking for me?" ”
"My lord, my subordinates have already persuaded Madame, but Madame just won't listen-" It is reasonable that he was caught red-handed, and the little official wanted to cry without tears.
Xiao Huai'an didn't have much reaction, looked Su Jiao up and down, and nodded, "You came at the right time." It's none of your business, go down and get someone to bring you a cup of tea. ”
As soon as he heard this, the little official immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly flashed away, Su Jiao watched him gradually run away, came back, and gave Xiao Huaian a very embarrassed smile.
Xiao Huai'an pursed his mouth, although he didn't say anything accusatory to Su Jiao, Su Jiao still saw that he was not in a good mood, especially the two dark circles under his eyes, and he was very happy to look at.
As soon as he opened the door, he turned sideways to let Su Jiao go in first, and then looked at Mu Rong, "You guys come over too." ”
"Yes." Mu Rong agreed.
Su Jiao glanced at it lightly, and then wanted to find a place to sit down, but saw that in the compartment behind the bead curtain here, there was still an angry man, untidy, and one leg was still shaking up and down.
Seeing that this person is dressed elegantly, but he is so bohemian and unruly, he must have been tossing all night, I don't know what he quarreled with Xiao Huai'an at this moment, and when he saw Su Jiao coming in, his temper instantly came out again.
"Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you don't even believe the words of this official, and you have to rely on a woman to accuse, you know, if in our country, men handle cases, and women can't even look at it."
Ouch, even in ancient times when boys and girls were inferior, I haven't been so despised as a woman. Su Jiao raised her eyebrows, she was not angry, at most, this person was a clown who jumped off the beam, but what should be said still had to be explained.
Thinking about it, Su Jiao's eyes widened, and she deliberately snorted coldly when this person could see it, and then turned around by herself, found a place to sit down, and put on the most domineering and dignified posture in her life, such an momentum made Xiao Huai'an look a little stunned.
"I don't know what your identity is, but you shouldn't be a local when you hear this accent, since your Excellency is in a high position, haven't you heard of the saying that you follow the customs of the locals?" While speaking, Mu Rong borrowed flowers to offer Buddha by the way, and brought the tea sent by the little official to Su Jiao and put it in her hand.
Su Jiao took it, pinched the lid of the cup with her hand, gently brushed off the tea foam on the water, and watched the reaction of the person opposite for a long time.
"Since the people of your country want to be united with me, they must respect their respective customs, instead of shouting and disliking everywhere, otherwise it will not be a good start for both you and me."
"What?!" This person, who has always enjoyed the valuable treatment of top men, naturally can't stand Su Jiao's posture and ridicule, but under his anger, he doesn't know what to do, and only stares at Xiao Huai'an, who can't help laughing.
"Lord Xiao, who is this woman, how can you let her meddle in the affairs between us at will, is this the so-called respect that your country has for us?"
"You must know that I am the son of the prime minister sent by our country to represent the envoy of the court, Youzhisuke, if you are wronged in this way, and the treatment is only afraid of adults, you will not be able to explain it to your emperor!"
Yunosuke snorted coldly, straightened the clothes on his body a little, and raised his chin proudly, as if he had already decided that Xiao Huai'an would bow to him, but he really underestimated Xiao Huai'an's ability.
Xiao Huai'an listened, did not say anything, but walked leisurely to Su Jiao's side and sat down, took care of himself and picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip before remembering his leisurely opening.
"Don't be impatient, Lord You, she is the wife of this official, she was also present yesterday, and witnessed the whole process, since your lord wants to accuse someone of plotting against your envoys and the performance troupe brought with them, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to have one more person's testimony?"
As soon as these words came out, Yunosuke couldn't help but be stunned in place, not to mention that the person who deliberately provoked the incident yesterday has not yet been determined, just talking about the fact that the performance collects tickets is enough to make people say.
It's one thing that the performance troupe's program is good, but the price is too outrageous, if you are an ordinary person, Yunosuke can be said to be deliberately framed by others, but Su Jiao is also here, right and wrong, but you can't just listen to him.
The muscles on Yunosuke's face stiffened slightly, and he turned his head, they deliberately chose the first day of the performance troupe in the dirt workshop, thinking that maybe no aristocratic family would come to this kind of commoner place to play, and Su Jiao was really an alternative.
Thinking about it, Yunosuke rolled his eyes, thinking about how to fool the matter of the ticket, but Su Jiao didn't care about this layer, only cared about the situation of the murderer that this person wanted to accuse before.
"If you don't speak, we will agree, but I don't know if the adult is so indignant, who do you want to accuse, and the adult will also go to his performance troupe to watch the performance as an envoy? Did you hear about last night's incident, or did you see it with your own eyes? ”
As soon as he heard this, Yunosuke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, straightened his chest again, and said with a strange mouth, "This official is one of the envoys specially appointed by His Majesty of our country, and the performance troupe of his own country naturally needs to pay more attention to it. ”
"In this way, it can be seen that the sincerity of your Daze want the Federation is not very good, if you can't solve yesterday's matter, this official can only write a letter to Your Majesty, and then consider this signing."
Hearing this, Su Jiao turned her head quietly, but she had already complained in her heart: It's just nonsense, how can the killer who was specially sent out to make trouble still chat with you? After asking for so long last night, those killer bastards didn't even say a word.
But then again, it's commendable courage to dare to admit your own shortcomings, but I don't know if you write this reason to your majesty, and your majesty will faint with anger.
Su Jiao couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, Xiao Huai'an looked at her expression, and knew that she was not a little sure, so she coughed and attracted Yunosuke's attention.
"According to what Lord Yu said, those gangsters are all masked and wrapped tightly, how can you be sure that it must be my hand?"
"As for the language, it is even easier, for example, when the official invited the adults to come and speak at the beginning, the adults used your Chinese language, didn't the adults recognize who the official was."
What is the deep hidden merit and fame, so low-key and clearly showing his strength, Xiao Huai'an instantly blocked Youzhizhu in a few words, and it was difficult to refute.
