118: What Is the Relationship Between These Two People?

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Su Qi stared at Shang Junyan cautiously. He knew that his little sister seemed to have a special behavior against Shang Junyan.

Although he didn't know why, he could meet in such a place, and the other party took the initiative to come over and talk to him. Doesn't this mean that the problem is not with his sister?

If there was a problem with his sister, Shang Junyan would hide far away?

Shang Junyan now has a headache when he sees the Su family. What kind of development is this?

Obviously, in the last life, the Su family would also protect Su Xinyi, but there was no such brainless protection.

But now?

Shang Junyan's mood is very complicated. They are both people who have come back, but Su Xinyi can handle the relationship between the family members more harmoniously and more united than in the last life, and she will push Su Yi up step by step, and will find various opportunities to train him. She is trying to make up for the missing part of her last life, and every step is closer to the goal.

But he was completely the opposite. His relationship with his family became increasingly strained. He even found that he and his mother could not get along at all. The two of them had very different ways of thinking.

So why was there no conflict in the previous life?

Shang Junyan thought about it carefully later and realized that it was not that there was no conflict, but that his mother had piled all the conflicts on Su Xinyi, which made him shift his attention, so some other things were ignored.

But without Su Xinyi in this life, the conflict between him and his family could not be concealed.

After understanding this, Shang Junyan finally understood why Su Xinyi hated him so much.

Now that he met her here, he had a lot of things to say to her, but when he saw Su Qi jumping out to block him, he knew that he couldn't say it.

Shang Junyan immediately adjusted his thoughts and said to Su Qi, "Second Master Su, how are you? I was ordered to go south with the censor to inspect the salt administration of Liangjiang this time. I didn't expect to meet Miss Su Liu here. I came here to say hello. I didn't expect that Second Master Su was here too."

Su Qi looked at him suspiciously and asked in surprise, "Was Prince Shang appointed to an official position?"

Shang Junyan nodded, "It's just a small experience in the Censorate, running errands for the censor."

That's what he said, but Su Qi didn't believe it at all.

The Censorate has left and right censors, left and right deputy censors, left and right assistant censors, and thirteen supervisory censors. The court was very strict in selecting these officials, so Shang Junyan naturally couldn't appoint such a high official right away.

However, in addition to this, the Censorate also has the Experience Department, the Office of the Secretary, the Review Office, and the Prison Department. Except for the Experience Department, which is the sixth rank and the Review Office, which is the eighth rank, the other two departments are all set up from the ninth rank.

Shang Junyan was able to obtain an official position after entering the Censorate, which was impossible for ordinary Jinshi students.

What surprised Su Xinyi even more was that Shang Junyan had clearly said before that he wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy. If he could be selected as a Shujishi, with his talent, he would definitely be a candidate for the cabinet's chief assistant.

The cabinet of this dynasty has always had a convention that only Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, and only Hanlin can enter the cabinet. Although it is not absolute, it is a fact that more than 90% of the cabinet members are from the Hanlin Academy.

In his previous life, Shang Junyan assisted King Rong. It took more than ten years, or even twenty years, to gain experience in the Hanlin Academy to enter the cabinet. Obviously, King Rong and Shang Junyan could not wait that long, so he took the route of being sent out to gain political achievements. As long as he did well on this road, and with King Rong paving the way for him in the court, his promotion was not slow.

Moreover, Shang Junyan lived up to the cultivation of Prince Rong and was indeed very good at being an official. This was also what the Princess of Pingjing County was very proud of, so that her son was so outstanding that she looked at her daughter-in-law even more unpleasantly.

Su Xinyi stared at Shang Junyan, "Didn't you say you wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Shang Junyan said calmly, "Something went wrong temporarily, so I went to the Censorate."

Su Xinyi didn't believe a word of it. She now suspected that Shang Junyan was deliberately trying to make things difficult for the prince in order to steal the credit for Prince Rong?

Thinking of this, her face became very ugly.

Originally thought that he had basically avoided the conflict between the two by taking the route of the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect him to come back.

"Were you lying to me before?" Su Xinyi's voice was a bit sharp.

Shang Junyan:...

"I didn't, there was really an accident." Shang Junyan was afraid that she would fight if she disagreed, so he quickly explained.

Su Qi looked at the two of them, what did he say that he didn't understand?

It's obvious that there's something going on between the sixth sister and Shang Junyan that he doesn't know about.

What's the relationship between the two?

Su Qi couldn't figure it out, and looked at the two suspiciously.

Su Xinyi also felt pressured when she met her second brother's eyes. She knew that meeting Shang Junyan was not a good thing. Now it's all right. It's really mud falling on the crotch of the pants. She can't explain it clearly.

Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi and said seriously: "I'm just an experience. It has nothing to do with others."

Su Xinyi didn't believe it!

In his previous life, he fought hard for King Rong. He wished he could work hard in the government office for 366 days out of 365 days a year.

Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi's face getting darker and darker, and found that he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Second Master Su, can I have a few words with your sister alone?" Shang Junyan looked at Su Qi sincerely and asked.

Su Qi:...

Do you think I'm in the way?

He looked at his sister. He couldn't make the decision, so he listened to his sister.

Su Xinyi had nothing to say to Shang Junyan, but she also wanted to know if he was competing with the prince for credit. If it was true, she would find an opportunity to break his legs and let him return to the capital to recuperate.

"Second brother, let me have a few words with him." Su Xinyi said with a dark face.

Su Qi felt that something was even more wrong between the two of them, but he still respected his sister, nodded, and walked a few steps aside, "I'll wait for you here."

Shang Junyan felt that Su Qi was a bit close, so he took Su Xinyi a few more steps to avoid him, and then said: "The Yanyin case is of great importance and is complicated. I have experience, and after thinking about it, I still have to This trip really has nothing to do with Prince Rong. I didn't ask Prince Rong for help when I entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and His Highness Prince Rong had no intention of interfering with the Yan Yin case. You don't have to worry about me taking the credit from His Highness the Crown Prince. Yes...you think I'm here to give credit to His Royal Highness."

Is there such a good thing?

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan suspiciously, "Don't lie to me, how can you have such a good intention?"

Shang Junyan knew that he had done too many things for Prince Rong in his previous life, and Su Xinyi was worried about him, so he said: "What are you worried about? His Highness King Rong has not yet thought about competing with His Highness the Crown Prince for the throne." , these things will not happen for another two years.”

Su Xinyi was stunned when he heard Shang Junyan's words. Really? Fake?

However, when I think about it, King Rong is really naive and stupid now, and he doesn't seem to be very smart.

She glanced at Shang Junyan again, thought about it and said, "Are you...really willing to give credit to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

He is definitely a member of King Rong's party, so don't come here as an undercover agent.

Shang Junyan took a deep breath, looked at Su Xinyi and said: "In my previous life, I stood on Prince Rong's boat because my family was close to the Prince of Guangping County, and Prince Rong was the nephew of the Princess of Guangping County. I just didn't choose Rong. King, others will think that we are in the same boat."

Because of their close personal relationship and King Rong's temperament, it was not surprising that Shang Junyan naturally chose King Rong at that time.

It's like everyone is a good friend or relative, so it's natural.

Su Xinyi sneered, "So, why are you so surprised that Yan Qiongsi was selected in your family? You guys are family friends, so close that you can get on King Rong's ship without hesitation. Do you still think you are a good friend?" It’s a grievance, it’s really…”

I really want to curse!

Shang Junyan was speechless and couldn't explain clearly, so he could only say: "I have no such thoughts about Yan Qiongsi at all, and I have already married you, and I have never thought about marrying anyone else."

Unknowingly, the two couples became incompatible. He still found it incredible when he thought about it now. He didn't know how they could get to that point.

Su Xinyi didn't want to mention these things. Shang Junyan's mental retardation in housework had repeatedly refreshed her understanding. She no longer wanted to argue with him about this, it was pointless.

Can you let wild wolves eat grass and rabbits eat meat?

Because wild wolves originally eat rabbits!

In her previous life, she was the rabbit who fell into someone else's trap without knowing it. She struggled hard all the time, but in the end she didn't struggle out. She could only drag the enemy to death together.

She herself was stupid, she was stupid, she had gone astray and hit a wall and was bleeding. But at that time, she never thought that there would be someone as vicious as the Princess of Pingjing County in the world.

"It's pointless to say this. Anyway, are you sure you are helping His Royal Highness this time?" Su Xinyi asked.

Shang Junyan nodded, "His Royal Highness the Prince is supervising the Yan Yin case. In order to make Li Ji relax his vigilance, he specifically asked the censor to inspect the salt affairs of the two rivers in order to distract Li Ji's attention. We are clear that His Highness the Prince's people An, so I didn’t lie to you, I’m really here to assist His Royal Highness in handling the case, even though I’m just a little guy now.”

Su Xinyi listened to what Shang Junyan said and felt that it made sense. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I believe you this time. You'd better not lie to me, otherwise... the old and new grudges will be settled together!"

Shang Junyan was relieved when he heard this. He always felt that Su Xinyi's eyes were staring at his legs before, which made him a little hairy.

"Do you need my help?" Shang Junyan decided to show a little more kindness. Anyway, he had told her a lot of things before and didn't care about more.

Su Xinyi did not expect Shang Junyan to be so smart. Since we are now in an alliance, of course we can't let this opportunity pass by. He immediately said: "Of course, let's talk over there."

Shang Junyan followed Su Xinyi back and saw another person standing next to Su Qi. He was a bit unfamiliar and didn't recognize him, so he took a few more glances.

Su Xinyi said to his second brother and Su Deng: "Shang Shizi is here to help handle the case. I misunderstood him before. Now that we are all on the same page for the time being, we can just work together. Brother Deng, let me introduce it to you. Look, this one is Shang Junyan, the eldest son of the Prince of Pingjing County, who is currently working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This time he went south to inspect the Salt Administration of Liangjiang with the Censor."

After speaking, he looked at Shang Junyan and said, "You probably don't know my elder brother Su Deng."

Shang Junyan looked at Su Deng and said, "It turns out he is the grandson of Wen Zhaogong. Jun Yan is being rude."

Su Xinyi didn't expect Shang Junyan to know about his third uncle, so he became familiar with Su Deng just by watching him speak a few words. No wonder he was able to thrive in the officialdom. Huh, this man does have some skills!

Su Qi tugged on her sister's sleeve, glanced at Shang Junyan, and asked her silently.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly. Although Su Qi was still a little confused, he pressed it first.

This time the news was almost done. Su Xinyi wanted to exchange information with Shang Junyan, so he said, "Let's find a safe place to talk."

Suden said: "Why don't you go home and go around here and get there."

So they returned to the Su family's house in Jing'an Mansion, and the four of them went into the study to talk.

Su Deng and Shang Junyan chatted slowly along the way, and found that the Shang prince was very knowledgeable, and his words and deeds were gentle and elegant. It was very comfortable to get along with him.

The members of these aristocratic families will inadvertently carry a sense of arrogance in their bones. Although the old Su family is not bad, they will inevitably be called rude behind their backs because of their military achievements.

The boy left after serving the tea. Su Xinyi didn't want to waste time, so he looked at Shang Junyan and said, "I asked around and learned that Ma Rude is on the run and has not yet appeared in Jing'an Mansion. The Ma family has already They are under surveillance by the government. The Ma family members have not yet been interrogated. I don’t know what Li Ji is planning. Since he already knows the news that Ma Rude is on the run, he just puts the Ma family under surveillance and has not taken any other actions. What do you think of him? Are you not afraid, or do you have other plans?”

Shang Junyan thought for a while and said: "Li Ji should have known that His Royal Highness the Prince is overseeing the Yan Yin case. He is not in a hurry now because he probably wants to push Ma Rude out to support him. Now he is besieging the Ma family. He is just giving Ma Rude a hint." ”

"Is that so?" Su Xinyi frowned, "Is Li Ji so sure that His Highness the Crown Prince will not find out his evidence?"

Shang Junyan thought of everything he had experienced when he went south to investigate cases in his previous life, and looked at Su Xinyi, "Li Ji is not only greedy, but also very resourceful."

Su Xinyi understood that Shang Junyan had suffered a lot at his hands.

However, they are not afraid now. Shang Junyan already knows everything, and it is not easy to keep him in his trap now.

I didn't expect that Shang Junyan would switch sides before, so I thought the matter would be difficult to handle. Now that I have this killer weapon in hand, this salt case will of course go very smoothly.

Because of this, Su Xinyi's impression of Shang Junyan has improved slightly. As long as he can go back to the shore in time and be a good person, we will not be friends or enemies.

After hearing what the two said, Su Deng said thoughtfully: "As long as we can catch him before Li Ji finds Ma Rude, Li Ji will panic."

Su Qi nodded, "Brother Deng is right. The key is how we find Ma Rude now."

Su Xinyi thought for a while, looked at Shang Junyan and asked: "Ma Rude once sent two groups of people to kill me. I instigated one to rebel and captured the other alive. Do you think I can fish him out by using the one I captured alive as bait?"

Shang Junyan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "Did Ma Rude kill you?"

"What's weird about this? I took over his hometown in the capital, so he hates me to death." When Su Xinyi did these things, he had already thought about the follow-up revenge, so it was not surprising.

Shang Junyan sighed. He really didn't know what to say. Is it because a skilled person is brave, or is it really like living a different life if he starts over again? Anyway, the path Su Xinyi is taking now is dangerous every step of the way. The edge testing makes people anxious.

"Ma Rude is cruel and ruthless, I'm afraid that alone won't work." Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi, "I know that Ma Rude has a little son that he loves very much, but doing this does not seem to be the behavior of a gentleman."

Su Xinyi immediately said: "I am not a gentleman. You be your gentleman, and I will be the villain. As long as I can fish people out, I can give it a try."

"That's not what I meant." Shang Junyan explained seriously, "You know, I am an official of the imperial court now. If I do these bandit-like behaviors, how can the people of Southern Qi trust the government in the future? Officials of the imperial court serve the people. It’s up to you to decide what to do and what not to do.”

Su Xinyi understood that all officials should cherish their feathers. In the future, Shang Junyan would not leave any excuses for future political opponents when he entered politics.

Using other people's children as bait is really not something that an official can do.

If that's the case, Su Qi will also take the scientific examination and become an official in the future. Su Deng still doesn't know what arrangements his third uncle has for him. There must be no stain on these people.

In this way, Su Xinyi can't do this kind of thing. Everyone is in the same group. Even if they don't come forward, they will inevitably be given a reputation that is unfavorable for persuasion.

"Then we have to give up." Su Xinyi said simply, grabbing the child and threatening others. Although she would not hurt the child, it was indeed not what a gentleman would do. "Think again."

Shang Junyan was slightly relieved, but he was afraid that she would take risks again if there was no other good way. He thought about it and said, "It's not impossible."

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan, "What can we do?"

Shang Junyan pursed his lips, not wanting to say anything. If he wasn't afraid that Su Xinyi might take risks at any time due to her bad temper, he wouldn't want her to do such a thing.

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan's hesitation and knew that this idea might not be fair and might touch his bottom line.

She rolled her eyes and said directly: "If you don't tell me, I will do what I want."

Shang Junyan had a headache, forget it, it would just happen this time.

"You find someone to set fire to the Ma family, and I will take the Ma family members into the government on the grounds that someone is trying to silence them. In this way, it can be regarded as a different kind of supervision. Even if Ma Rude cannot be forced out, I will Make Li Ji restless. Li Ji will also force Ma Rude to show up," Shang Junyan said, and then warned, "Set fires just to scare people, please be careful and don't hurt anyone."

Su Xinyi:......

What does it mean to have someone in the DPRK do things easily?

She finally feels this feeling now!

She didn't realize that a gentleman like Shang Junyan could come up with such a method. She didn't expect that it was because she couldn't figure out Li Ji's temper and couldn't prescribe the right medicine. This was a blind spot in her skills, but Shang Junyan had fought with Li Ji in his previous life. Too many interactions.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Su Xinyi said immediately, "But if this happens, you will be under a lot of pressure. Are you sure that the patrol censor will not cause you trouble?"

The current Shang Junyan is not an important member of the court who went south to investigate the Yan Yin case in his previous life. Now he just has a small experience of running errands.

Shang Junyan said: "It doesn't matter, I can handle it."

This little thing was insignificant to him.

Su Deng and Su Qi watched as the two of them discussed in a few words how to set the fire and how to clean up the aftermath. They seemed to have a tacit understanding, familiarity and trust in each other.

Suden looked at Su Qi and asked silently, what's going on?

Su Qi looked confused. He didn't know. His sister had yelled at Shang Junyan before, but why had she changed now?

Shang Junyan couldn't stay long and had to go back to the Yamen to make arrangements, so he stood up and left. Before leaving, he looked at the three of them and said, "If you have anything to do, go to the government and see me."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Okay, I'll let Cao Qing find you."

Shang Junyan nodded in agreement and left. As soon as he left, Su Qi looked at his sister, "What is your relationship with Prince Shang now? You two look a little strange."

Su Xinyi knew that the second brother had to ask, and said without any guilt: "I didn't like him before, but now I think he might not be a bad person after all."

Su Qi:......

Are you trying to fool me like a child?

But knowing that my sister didn't want to say anything, I stopped asking, but still warned, "There are differences between men and women. You'd better pay attention and don't be misunderstood."

"Second brother, don't worry, it won't happen. We'll be fine if we don't fight. Who can blindly like the other?" Su Xinyi said immediately with assurance.

There will be no other relationship between her and Shang Junyan in this life or the next life.

Do you still want to wipe out three generations of your family?

Su Xinyi said this so happily that Su Deng and Su Qi were speechless for a moment. It seemed that there was something more wrong.

Su Xinyi didn't pay attention to the eye contact between the two brothers. She was thinking about setting fire to Ma Mansion, and she had to make it clear to Mu Xing so that he wouldn't misunderstand, because it didn't seem like something a good person would do.

Thinking of this, she remembered that Mu Xing was still waiting for them outside, so Su Xinyi said to the two brothers: "I'm going to find Mu Xing. It just so happens that he needs to take action in this matter."

This time, the two of them did not stop him. Su Xinyi went out again, this time in another direction, and took a detour through the alley behind Mafu House. If he really wanted to set a fire, he would have to check this area thoroughly. , don’t harm innocent people.

Unexpectedly, she just walked around and saw Mu Xing's shadow flashing past.

Um?

Isn't he waiting for me at the corner restaurant?

Su Xinyi immediately picked up her heels and followed him. Unexpectedly, Mu Xing was extremely fast. She chased him down two streets, watching him avoid the crowds and swim quickly, and lost him when he turned into the third alley. .

Su Xinyi was at a disadvantage because he was not familiar with this place. Mu Bu had stayed here for many years, so he certainly had the advantage of the terrain.

Su Xinyi glanced around and saw that the Huixian Tower Restaurant in the distance was three stories high and was the tallest building in this area. She immediately entered the Huixian Tower and asked for a room on the top floor.

"Sir, I'm sorry. The top floor has been reserved by a nobleman today. Do you think the second floor is okay?" the waiter smiled attentively.

Su Xinyi did not expect such an unlucky thing, and was afraid that Mu Xing would run away if he delayed for a long time. If so, it would be useless for him to go up to the third floor. Just when he was thinking about borrowing someone else's roof, he saw a man walking in at the door. Familiar shadow.
