Chapter 183 This woman actually dared to use him as bait!
Yang You raised his head and looked at the smiling woman, and almost revealed his true colors again.
Seeing Baili Moqing's inexplicable gaze falling on him, his heart trembled and he quickly denied it, "No, no! It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
"A misunderstanding? But, wasn't there a murder case? Is it really a misunderstanding?"
Yang You looked up and saw that the woman's face was full of confusion, with a unique charm.
He wanted to laugh unconsciously, but was swept by several cold gazes from the opposite side, and suddenly felt cold all over.
"It's a misunderstanding! It's my nephew. He always stirs up trouble out of nothing, and today he's trying to use this fabricated murder case to gain merit for himself! I will punish that fool severely when I return! I beg Your Highness to forgive me, and please forgive me, Madam!"
A hint of coldness flashed across Shu He's face. This Yang You, what a guts! He even dared to bring up something like "falsifying achievements." Did he think Baili Moqing wouldn't dare to kill him, or did he think Baili Moqing didn't have the ability to kill him?
However, this is not the time to pursue this matter.
"Oh, I see!" Shu He said, looking at Baili Moqing, "Your Highness, since General Yang said it was a misunderstanding, why don't you let General Yang get up?"
Baili Moqing didn't know what she was up to, but in front of outsiders, he was still willing to cooperate.
"Get up!"
A faint voice sounded, and Yang You, who was kneeling on the ground, was so shocked that he thought he had heard it wrong!
He secretly raised his head and looked at the governor Su standing next to him, as if asking, "Brother, did I hear correctly just now? Is the prince calling me to get up?"
Su Su lowered her head, her face filled with shock. She had never expected that this woman's words would be so effective in front of the prince!
It seems that this status is not low!
"General, can't you get up?" Shu He stood beside the desk, leaning slightly.
Su Su raised his eyes and glanced at the woman secretly. She had a bright smile on her face, but he always felt that the smile was not as simple as it seemed.
"If you can't get up, would you like to ask Lord Su next to you to help you?"
When Su Su heard this, she quickly lowered her head guiltily. Did she notice his gaze and call out his name?
This woman is so sharp!
"No, no, I will get up on my own!"
Yang You was certain that Prince Dongli wanted him to stand up, so he immediately supported himself with his hands and tremblingly stood up. The excruciating pain in his knees made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, look how scared our military officer is! General Zhang, this is your fault! Even if our military officer's nephew offended you, you shouldn't take your anger out on him!"
Yang You wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, thinking that what the woman said was really good! Zhang Zhiyi was targeting him!
"General Zhang, why don't you quickly bring a cup of hot tea to the military officer and the governor to calm them down?"
Zhang Zhiyi's face showed obvious reluctance, but at Baili Moqing's suggestion, he still handed the two cups of hot tea on the table to the two of them.
Su Su and Yang You took the teacups. It was clearly warm tea, but why did they feel it was so hot?
Could this tea be poisoned?
"Why, you two are so slow to speak. Do you suspect I've poisoned the tea?"
Seeing the two of them showing smiles that were uglier than crying, Shu He's face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, "What you are drinking is brewed in the same pot as the prince. If it weren't for the fact that you two are the local officials of Beisha City, you wouldn't be able to drink such good medicinal tea!"
After saying that, she looked at Baili Moqing and motioned him to take a sip in front of the two of them.
Under the wide sleeves, Baili Moqing's hidden hand was clenched tightly.
This woman actually dared to use him as bait!
Zhen Li moved slightly, his eyes filled with worry. However, looking at the prince's eyes, it was clear that he didn't want him to interfere.
In front of Su Su and Yang You, Baili Moqing took another sip of the medicinal tea.
The tea had a slight bitterness and a medicinal taste, but after drinking it, I did feel my body warm.
He even doubted whether this tea was really pure medicinal tea?
"Look, the prince has also drunk it. Are there any other concerns, my lords?"
"Actually, I want you two to reconcile with my prince. After all, the prince has been stripped of his title and is no longer as powerful as before. You two are the officials of Beisha City after all. I hope you will take good care of him in the future!"
Su Su and Yang You quickly bent down and lowered their heads, saying, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"
"Of course, this tea isn't for nothing. The prince wants to start some post-disaster reconstruction work in Beisha City these days. My two lords, will you lend your full support when the time comes?"
Baili Moqing looked at the woman and finally understood what she was up to.
"Excuse me, my lady, what is post-disaster reconstruction?" Su Su found the term a little new, but since she had something to ask for, he also let down his guard.
It seems that the beating has come to an end.
Yang You's eyes also lit up, thinking that Baili Moqing had no intention of attacking him now.
Thinking of this, a sense of relief at surviving the disaster appeared on his face.
"Beisha City was attacked by the Northern Di. Almost all the houses and streets north of the city were destroyed, and many people lost their homes. Furthermore, the people in the city were plunged into famine."
"On the night of the city defense, the people gave away their remaining rice and flour to help the soldiers defend the city. Now that the battle is over, shouldn't we let the people rest and recuperate?"
The two people below had hypocritical smiles on their faces, but they were very surprised in their hearts.
Why did this woman know so much? And in such detail?
Seeing that the two were silent, Shu He's voice became colder, "Why, do you two think that the prince's proposal is not feasible?"
Baili Moqing sat in the wheelchair, feeling much more relaxed.
He drank the medicinal tea in his hand from time to time, with a hint of joy on his face.
After drinking a few more sips of this tea, it doesn't seem so bad anymore.
"No, no! I'm simply impressed by the prince's good intentions and his consideration for public opinion. This is the right way to handle this matter!"
Su Su quickly agreed, and Yang You next to him did not want to be left behind, so he also expressed his agreement.
At this moment, Yang You saw that the woman looked troubled, so he asked, "Madam, what is the difficulty?"
After hearing his question, the woman showed a smile on her face, a very genuine smile.
This made Yang You, who always preferred women, couldn't help but smile greedily.
"Your Excellency, you may not know that the first step in post-disaster reconstruction is to rebuild homes for the people! After all, winter is about to arrive, and without a safe place to live, the people may not survive this winter."
Yang You didn't quite understand, but Su Su, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly.
This is to let them work hard and benefit the people!
No wonder they knocked on me, served me tea, slapped me, gave me a sweet date, and finally made some demands. They really didn't allow anyone to refuse at all!
