Chapter 184: After the trap, it’s time to get down to business!
"Of course, of course. I will definitely have everyone cooperate fully then!"
Yang You didn't understand the specific meaning, but just thought that the woman wanted help. He was naturally willing to help with such a small matter, so he sold Baili Moqing.
"Very good!" Shu He nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Su Su, who was silent beside him, and asked, "Master Su, are you in any trouble?"
Su Su quickly bowed and saluted. "Post-disaster reconstruction is the top priority of Beisha City, and it is also the necessary responsibility of an official like me. I will do my best!"
This was said beautifully, so beautifully that Yang You standing next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes!
Not wanting to be left behind, he immediately echoed, "So do your humble servants!"
After receiving a satisfactory reply, the smile on Shu He's face finally became sincere.
"I told you! General Yang and Governor Su are not like what people say, that they are corrupt officials who extort money from the people, rape women, and take human lives. They are clearly rare good officials who care about the people!"
Su Su's face showed embarrassment and guilt, and she could only remain silent.
"Thank you so much! It's just a small thing, I should do it." Yang You felt very happy with the compliment and took another big sip of the tea in his hand.
Although it tastes a bit bitter, this tea was brewed by a beautiful woman after all, so it tastes good!
When Shu He saw Yang You looking at her with a very flattering and disgusting smile, she felt a little disgusted, but she suppressed it.
Don’t vomit now, hold on a little longer!
"Hey!"
A heavy sigh made Su Su feel anxious again. She looked at him with burning eyes, as if saying, "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm sighing?"
He wanted to ignore it, but the look was too hot, so he could only bite the bullet and ask, "Madam, why are you sighing?"
When Shu He heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but then it disappeared. The change was so quick that Su Su was speechless!
"Logically, Your Highness should have contributed to the reconstruction of the northern part of the city. However, since Your Highness has been exiled and his title has been stripped, his life is extremely difficult. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much with what's to come. Please forgive me if you can help me."
When Beiji heard this, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
This lady He is really...
But, it's very cute!
Yang You was still savoring the bitter yet sweet taste of the tea, but when he heard these words, the smile on his face froze instantly.
What did she mean by that?
For this reconstruction work, not only does he have to provide the manpower, but he also has to provide the money?
Rebuilding a city! How much would it cost? He couldn't afford it even if he broke his bank!
"Madam, you mean that all expenses should be paid by the Military Affairs Office?" Yang You blurted out, his face pale and somewhat unbelieving.
"of course not!"
After hearing this, Yang You's face looked better.
Shu He turned to look at Lord Su and continued, "And there's the Governor's Mansion! Beisha City was once famous, so there should still be some silver in the city treasury, right?"
Su Su's face was pale. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
This Beisha City was indeed once prosperous, but who doesn't know that during the years of Beidi, this rich city was completely plundered by the Beidi royal family! ?
When he took over, he was penniless! If he hadn't tried every possible way, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate this "small fortune" today!
Now, this woman clearly wants them to vomit out everything they have eaten!
Yang You also looked reluctant: "My lady, you don't know..."
"What's wrong? Are you two having any troubles?"
Baili Moqing's slightly displeased voice interrupted Yang You.
His face was extremely pale, and the words on his lips were forced to change their meaning: "No, no! There are no difficulties at all! Even if there are, I will work hard to overcome them!!"
"Governor Su, are you in trouble?" Baili Moqing asked Su Su, who had always been taciturn, while the teacup in his hand spun slightly with a bit of laziness.
Su Su leaned forward and replied, "Your Highness, I have no problem with this subordinate."
"That's great! In that case, the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction tasks will be fully entrusted to the two adults."
Baili Moqing had a smile on his face, looking very satisfied.
Yang You wanted to cry. Wasn't it agreed that he would "help with all his strength"? How did it become "full responsibility" now?
"It should."
"It should!"
No matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, they could only respond with a smile, and the smiles on their faces were a bit bitter.
Especially Yang You, that face, the facial features are almost wrinkled together! The more you look at it, the uglier it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more uncomfortable it makes you feel.
Shu He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he turned his attention to Bei Ji and Zhang Zhiyi in front of him.
These two people, both tall and graceful, with jade-like faces, are truly pleasing to the eye! This soothed the damage Shu He had just suffered in his eyes.
Baili Moqing looked at the woman leaning against the table. It was just her back, but the light in his eyes still brightened and softened a little.
She is actually a woman who cares about the people of the world!
This pattern and bearing are really impressive!
Shu He took a break, then put on a smile again, gave the two of them a thumbs up, and praised them against his conscience!
"You two lords are truly outstanding officials who serve the country and the people!"
These words made Beiji and Zhang Zhiyi look embarrassed, and even Yang You and Su Su felt guilty and embarrassed.
"Come, come, my two lords, have some tea!"
Yang You sighed softly, feeling bitter, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
This tea becomes more bitter the more you drink it!
Su Su held the tea and took a sip. After all, it was the prince's tea. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the prince if she didn't drink it?
However, he only drank it symbolically and the tea did not actually enter his throat.
Seeing this, Shu He hurried forward to take the teacups from Su Su and Yang You. During this time, she flicked her fingertips slightly, and a trace of powder melted into the air and disappeared.
Shu He took back the tea bowl and handed it to Zhang Zhiyi. At this time, the smile on her face disappeared, leaving only coldness.
"Next, let's talk business!"
Yang You and Su Su's expressions changed again. This woman, though gentle and kind, was actually a cruel person! I wonder how she's going to trick them this time!
"General Yang, you just said that Ma Yuan's stories of abducting women and killing civilians were all false, right?"
Yang You was shocked.
How did this get brought up again?
"It just so happened that General Zhang's deputy general was out on business and happened to see your nephew robbing a woman in the street!"
"Guess what Ma Yuan said after he was arrested?"
Shu He leaned against the desk again, looking lazy and casual.
"Your humble servant, I don't know..."
"He said that General Yang is his uncle, and any woman his uncle likes must be sent to the General's Mansion. This has been the rule in Beisha City for many years!"
When Yang You heard this, the color that had just returned to his face disappeared again, and his face became as white as a piece of paper.
"Sir, what your nephew said, could it be true?"
