Chapter 189: Do you look down on my methods?
Yang You sat on the ground, watching the crowd disperse and Ma Yuan being taken away. His heart finally settled. When everything was settled, he realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
At this moment, a stinging pain spread throughout his body, causing him to groan softly. His face, in particular, felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, its flesh throbbing uncontrollably. He reached up to touch it, and the pain intensified, nearly causing him to cry out.
Zhang Zhiyi came to Beiji and looked at him with questioning eyes.
Is this the end of the matter?
He called those witnesses not to deal with a small fry like Ma Yuan!
What exactly is this lady He planning?
Beiji saw the confusion in his eyes, but he couldn't explain it because he didn't understand the woman's true intentions.
The snow outside was falling heavier, and Baili Moqing was pushed back into the hall by Zhenli, who was worried that Baili Moqing would catch a cold.
However, in fact, he is no longer afraid of the cold now, but Zhenli still subconsciously thinks that he is still the Baili Moqing who was afraid of the cold before.
Shu He also followed back to the hall. Turning around and seeing that the two men hadn't moved, he said, "My lords, it's snowing heavily. If you keep getting wet like this, you'll get sick!"
Su Su and Yang You quickly nodded in agreement. Fear and uneasiness forced them to temporarily forget the severe pain in their bodies.
Since the woman spoke to them so kindly, there shouldn't be any other traps waiting for them, right?
Su Su looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked over to Yang You and pulled him up after he had struggled to get up.
He looked apologetic.
"Master Yang, I can't do anything about Ma Yuan. It's not that I don't want to help you, but no one expected this matter to develop to this point."
Yang You used his strength to stand up, unable to utter a word.
"We came to the wrong place today. We originally wanted to use the murder case to eliminate the doctor around Baili Moqing as a gift to the Ninth Prince, but we didn't expect that we would fall into someone else's trap."
"These traps, one after another, have really caused us a lot of trouble!"
Yang You glanced at him, his expression expressionless.
What did Su Su lose? How was he killed? He was seriously hurt, okay?
It was he who was dragged out to be publicly tortured, and it was also he who lost his own nephew!
Su Su remained silent throughout the whole process, and when the dust settled, he came out to pronounce the verdict without even frowning. Now he says sorry to him?
Humph, this bastard is clearly a fence-sitter!
Who knows how he is laughing at himself in his heart right now!
Seeing that Yang You remained silent, his gloomy face clearly showed his dissatisfaction with him. He felt a little embarrassed and a little apprehensive, so he could only try to please him again. "Master Yang, I will help you walk."
"I don't deserve it! Lord Su is the governor. How dare I, a mere soldier, trouble you? Humph!"
This Su Su, who's always pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, wants to take advantage without being nice, and always wants to stay out of the party, just to protect herself? Humph, how can such a good thing happen in this world?
Just wait, when the Ninth Prince arrives, I will make sure that you can’t even be a nominal governor!
The two walked slowly in the yard. The tingling in their bodies appeared and disappeared, making them walk even slower.
Beiji glanced at the two people outside and asked Shu He next to him, "What on earth are you up to?"
Zhang Zhiyi was also puzzled. "Yeah, I don't understand it either. With such a good opportunity, why did they let Yang You go so easily? Even if they only killed one Ma Yuan, there would still be countless more in the future."
"Of course, we're not just going to kill Ma Yuan." Shu He smiled at the two of them. "I actually have other plans for Yang You today. But since General Zhang has made some preparations, I certainly can't let his efforts go to waste."
"Ma Yuan is just the beginning. As for Yang You, we must let him shine and give full play to his final glory."
Zhang Zhiyi and Beiji understood what she meant. It turned out that she didn't want to give up on Yang You, but to squeeze him dry!
"What did you give Yang You and Su Su to drink?" Baili Moqing asked, very curious, and also wanted to know if there was anything in his cup of tea that shouldn't be there?
Shu He turned around and looked at him, a cunning look in his eyes, "Don't worry, you won't get any of those good things!"
Baili Moqing snorted coldly. What "good stuff"? It's clearly something that can kill people!
"I have to remind you that Su Su didn't drink your tea!"
"I know."
Shu He sat on the chair in front of the hall, picked up the last cup of tea on the tray, and drank it himself. It had been sitting there for too long, and the hot tea had gone cold.
"The tea..."
"Mrs. He...!"
Bei Ji and Zhang Zhiyi shouted nervously at the same time.
When Baili Moqing saw this scene, he threw away the books in his hand.
This woman is quite capable! She actually makes so many people nervous about her!
"Why are you two so anxious? She is so good at using poison, how could she not know whether there is poison in the tea?" Baili Moqing glared at the two of them unhappily, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Is it necessary for them to be so nervous about a widow with a child?
His words were full of sarcasm and irony, which made Shu He's smile fade a little.
Was he mocking her use of poison?
"Why? You look down on my methods! If you look down on me, don't look down on me! It makes you look smart and noble!"
Fortunately, she had always been thinking about him, and was thinking about asking Baili Moyan's purpose of coming here when she went to see the eldest princess in the next two days.
She swore that anyone who helped him would be a dog!
Baili Moqing was confused by the retort. When did he say that he looked down on her?
She just couldn't stand other people being so attentive to her, so why did she misunderstand her like this?
Zhang Zhiyi and Beiji looked a little unnatural, looked at each other, and quickly looked away.
Zhenli looked at his own prince with a meaningful look in his eyes.
What is this, Your Majesty?
As they were talking, Yang You and Su Su had already walked into the main hall, supporting each other.
Enduring the inexplicable pain in his body, Yang You knelt down before Baili Moqing and kowtowed in apology: "Thank you, Your Highness, for showing mercy and not blaming me for my 'lax discipline.'"
Baili Moqing had a cold face and couldn't suppress the anger in his body. He simply took out all the anger he had just suffered on the fat Yang You in front of him.
"Sir Yang, even though Ma Yuan took the blame for today's incident, everyone knows who did it and who was behind it! If you were truly an honest official, the people wouldn't be starving while you're living a life of luxury!"
These words not only stunned Yang You and Su Su, but even Zhen Li and Bei Ji were caught off guard.
Is this what their prince said?
Even if their prince dislikes someone very much, he always uses clean and elegant words, speaks with discretion, and gives people dignity.
That is a reflection of his noble status.
But now, even the term "brain full of fat intestines" is used...
Why does it feel like the prince has become a different person?
"What? Starving people everywhere? How, how could it be so serious?" Yang You's face was filled with fear and confusion. "Your Highness, I don't know. The palace's purchases are all managed by that Ma Yuan. Every time he comes back with meat, he says that the people outside are living a prosperous life..."
Baili Moqing interrupted him irritably: "Alright! Putting all the blame on a death row prisoner, Sir Yang, you really have the guts to do that!"
Yang You knelt on the ground and remained silent.
Now Baili Moqing wouldn't believe anything he said. So, let's just say nothing.
The real battle is yet to come!
He will definitely take revenge!
When the Ninth Prince arrives, he wants to watch Baili Moqing die in front of him with his own eyes!
