Chapter 148: Unthinkable
A good job report banquet could not continue, but everyone could not leave the state government office in the short term, so they had to temporarily go to the courtyard they were assigned to rest under the leadership of the manager, the maids, etc.
Fortunately, the state government covers a large area and has one set of yards, so there is no need to worry about not being able to live in so many people.
Yuzhaocheng and his group were assigned to Yaying Courtyard. The courtyard was not big, with several bald trees with leaves standing upright. On both sides were yellow lawns, and on three sides were guest rooms.
Jiang Mengyin and others had no intention of resting and gathered in the yard. Song Yuhu was angry and worried: "Where did that boy Shui Qingyang die? When he didn't want him, he was wandering in front of him, and when he needed him, he wouldn't see any ghosts."
After experiencing danger again and again, Song Yuhu didn't say anything, but he felt a little blind confidence in Shui Qingyang, thinking that if the other party was there, there might be a way to rescue Yan Ping, although the hope was very slim.
In addition, this place is Gui Dongming's territory after all, so I'm really afraid that something will happen to that kid and even Yan Ping will fall into the trap. It's hard to guarantee that the kid will not have an accident.
The group was discussing countermeasures in the yard, but the gate of the yard was suddenly pushed open, and a young man in green walked in. The servant behind him bowed and closed the gate.
"Boy, do you still know how to come back?" When she saw the other party, Song Yuhu was happy at first, then he looked angry again, stood up and walked over, kicking Shui Qingyang's thigh.
Shui Qingyang had to dodge backwards. Seeing that the boy dared to hide, Song Yuhu rushed forward again, and the two of them fought together.
Jiang Mengyin, who was about to say hello, was stunned and looked at Tao Ling, and a strange look appeared on each other.
They understood why it was reported from the outside world that the two of them were unclear and suspected of having an affair. Who wouldn't think so? In broad daylight, this man and a woman dared to "flirt with each other" in such a way, completely ignoring the feelings of others, making others feel like they were having a good thing that hindered them.
"Are you enough?" Mu Shengnan shouted loudly, unable to bear it anymore, and almost wanted to stab the dog man and woman to death with one shot.
Song Yuhu stopped in disappointment, while Shui Qingyang felt quite unfair and was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He walked towards Jiang Mengyin and Tao Ling, saluted the two girls, and asked, "City Lord, I heard something happened to Xuanbiyuan, what the hell happened?"
It turns out that this guy doesn't know yet? Jiang Mengyin said helplessly: "Person Shui, where did you go just now?"
"I'll go to the maid who serves the wine, but the other party is taking action faster and he should have dealt with the person. Gui Dongtang is really terrified." Shui Qingyang smiled coldly.
Unexpectedly, when everyone present heard the words Gui Dongtang, they were shocked. Zhong Xue even asked anxiously: "Can you be sure that Gui Dongtang's hand was moved?"
Shui Qingyang looked at the other party strangely. At this moment, he finally realized that Yan Ping was not here. When he looked at the anxious look of a group of people, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He replied: "There are not many people in the entire Lan Xuezhou who have a grudge against me. Even if the Tong family faction wants to suppress this, they will not attack me. They should be someone who has personal grudges with me.
The other party is not very clever in designing me, and he dares to take action in the prefecture. I think Gui Dongtang should be very suspicious. By the way, where is Yan Ping?"
Everyone cannot refuse to admit that although this guy is not reliable sometimes, his mind is not stupid. With him, he may be able to find a solution.
Jiang Mengyin sighed: "What happened to Yan Ping..." He briefly said everything that happened before.
After listening, Shui Qingyang's expression was indifferent: "No need to guess, it must be Gui Dongtang's hand. The poison in Yan Ping was exactly the same as mine."
At this time, Tao Ling suddenly said: "I just thought about it. There is a medicine in the world of cultivation called Xiaoyao Huanle Powder. The medicine is extremely strong and colorless. It only needs to be mixed into the food. Even the monks in the Daoyuan Realm will find it difficult to drive it away. It can also evaporate it with magic power. However, this medicine is extremely rare. It is a forbidden product of the Immortal Dynasty and has been lost for thousands of years."
Speaking of this, he looked at Shui Qingyang strangely. If the other party had really been hit by Xiaoyao and Happy Solves before, I don’t know how to detoxify the poison, there were quite a lot of secrets on his body.
Mu Sheng was irritable and didn't want to talk to Shui Qingyang, but at this time, even she subconsciously felt that only Shui Qingyang was able to solve the problem in the presence of the scene, and couldn't help but shout, "Do you have any solutions?"
Shui Qingyang seemed to have never heard of it, frowned, and after a long time, he sat on the stone bench, pondering without saying a word.
Jiang Mengyin, who was beside him, said bitterly: "The matter has been lost control. Bei Ruolan is the daughter of the Bei family. If she suffers such a shame, even if Yan Ping is cheated, the Bei family will not let Yan Ping go.
You probably don’t know that Bei Ruolan’s fiancé is Wang Ritai of the Wang family, and the other party is the legitimate son of the Wang family, which represents the face of the entire Wang family. After this incident, the Wang family will never let Yan Ping go. The aristocratic family relies on their faces outside..."
There are some things she couldn't say too clearly, and was afraid that others would think too much. But the fact is that as long as Yan Ping did not die, the Wang family and the Bei family would become jokes in the upper circle. Even if Yan Ping died, the two families would have to work hard to eliminate the influence.
When it comes to face issues, the truth is no longer important. What is important is whether Yan Ping has done it. Wang Ribo's previous words have already expressed the attitude of the Wang family.
The Bei family has not expressed any opinion yet, but Jiang Mengyin is from a noble family after all, and she knows the ideas of these people. I am afraid that the one who wants to kill Yan Ping the most is the Bei family.
Let me ask, even the truth is not important, both families want to get rid of Yan Ping and get faster. In this case, what's the use of Shui Qingyang even if he has three heads and six arms?
Zhong Xue gritted her teeth: "The Bei family and the Wang family are both subordinate forces of the Jiang family. The city lord. As long as the Jiang family speaks, I think they will definitely give face."
Before Jiang Mengyin answered this time, Tao Ling said sternly: "You are too naive! The Bei family and the Wang family are indeed factions of the Jiang family, but they are not affiliated relationships, but alliances with convergence of interests. They need the leader of the Jiang family, but the Jiang family also needs their help.
The two families have already got married, but now Bei Ruolan has been insulted. Do you think the two families can give up? Didn’t you see the expressions of the Bei family and the Wang family at that time? When it comes to facial issues, the Jiang family is not very useful to speak."
Seeing Zhong Xue put her idea on the Jiang family, Tao Ling had to explain clearly that it was not appropriate for the lady to come forward, so she could only be the evil person.
It is really impossible to respond to such a thing. Even if the lady agrees, the Jiang family will never agree. The joke is, what qualifications does a small Yan Ping have to let the Jiang family risk being held grudge against by the other two families to do such thankless things?
Yan Ping's talent is good, but its importance is far from comparable to that of the Wang family and the Bei family. To put it bluntly, if the lady really makes a request to the family to save Yan Ping, she will probably leave a ignorant impression on the family!
Tao Ling is the one who can see the most clearly among everyone. From the beginning of Yan Ping's crime, the other party was destined to be dead and no one could save him.
Seeing Jiang Mengyin's face showing a look of distress, Tao Ling said with a warning again. Zhong Xue was not a fool and realized that finding the second girl was useless.
She almost bit her lips and suddenly turned toward Shui Qingyang, saying in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Shui Captain, please save Yan Ping. As long as you can save him, Zhong Xue will also repay your great kindness."
This woman looks calm and gentle on the outside, but in fact she is arrogant and restrained. She has always been unable to stand Shui Qingyang. But she made this statement today, which shows how desperate and anxious she is in her heart.
Shui Qingyang raised his head in shock.
In fact, there is a problem he has never understood. Did the other party feel deeply rooted in love just because Yan Ping saved her life, and it reached such an unstoppable point?
According to Shui Qingyang's observation, Yan Ping did not catch a cold about this woman. No matter how affectionate a woman is to a man, it often has a time limit. The so-called unilateral love remains unchanged, and Shui Qingyang doesn't believe it at all.
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Shengnan also stepped forward and said in a tone of resentment: "As long as you rescue Yan Ping, I, Mu Shengnan, can be sent by you."
Shui Qingyang shook his head helplessly, while Tao Ling beside him looked at the second daughter with a deep look. In her eyes, the lady is the city lord, but these two women surrendered to Shui Qingyang in public. Do you still take the lady seriously?
Song Yuhu looked at Zhong Xue and Mu Shengnan, then at Jiang Mengyin and Tao Ling, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
Shui Qingyang finally did not express his opinion, which made Zhong Xue very disappointed and stood there in a daze.
Mu Shengnan held her, stared at Shui Qingyang angrily, and cursed: "Don't forget that Yan Ping had this experience. After all, it was all caused by you!"
Song Yuhu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and An Dawei, who had almost become a transparent person, also came to smooth things out. Unfortunately, Mu Shengnan was so angry that no matter how he persuaded him, he scolded Shui Qingyang so hard that he was so bloody.
It was a noisy here, and the younger generation such as Wang Kun, Su Heng, He Meimei, Wang Ribo and others came to the door. Seeing these people, Mu Shengnan had a slight face and grabbed Zhong Xue and returned to the house.
Leading by Wang Kun and Su Heng, everyone came to find Jiang Mengyin, so they naturally discussed how to deal with it. Yan Ping was Jiang Mengyin's person after all, and even if he knew the result in his heart, he always had to take it into consideration in his face.
Shui Qingyang, Song Yuhu and An Dawei were not qualified to participate in the talks and were excluded, so they all returned to their rooms.
Jiang Mengyin felt embarrassed. During the discussion, she tested the ideas of these people and wanted to ask if there was a possibility of rescuing Yan Ping. As soon as this meaning was revealed, even Su Heng, who supported her the most, did not speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Mengyin's heart couldn't stop sinking, and looked into the room in the distance, sighing silently.
At the same time, in the meeting hall of the prefecture's main palace.
Gui Dongming knew the whole story from Zhang Yuan's mouth and couldn't help but feel speechless.
At first, he was like Zhang Yuan, thinking that his younger brother blind cat met the dead mouse, but he finally got it right. It turned out that the truth was not the case. It was because the dead mouse had a wrong yin and yang, so he ran into his younger brother's hand on his own initiative.
