Chapter 244 I Just Want to Know Where Your Heart Is Headed

The fight in front of the su residence ended in an overwhelming victory for the poor people. Su Mianyue also became a person at the forefront of the storm. The courtiers directly spoke to Wanyan Lin after they heard the news and said that Su Mianyue had bewitched the people.

Wanyan Lin had to summon Su Mianyue to the palace for an audience, even though there was no danger of his life.

When the carriages of the su mansion approached the palace gate, countless students surrounded the palace gate, one by one attacking Su Mianyue's virtue as if they had seen an enemy. From the three and four virtues of women to inciting the public, it was obvious that Su Mianyue had become the scourge of beauty in the eyes of the students and was the negative teaching material for all women.

For these sour confucians, Su Mianyue only glanced at them indifferently and then got off the carriage and entered the palace.

So what if the world blames her? All Su Mianyue wanted was for her man to stand by her side and protect her. Otherwise, even if the world supported her, she would have kicked him away.

This incident was also a test that Su Mianyue gave Wanyan Lin.

As for those students, Su Mianyue did not intend to deal with them, as long as they could bear the beating. The people had not swung their fists so quickly for a long time. When they were beaten to the point where they dared not speak again, the public opinion would stop, and violence was sometimes the best method.

"Su qing family, the ministers impeached you for inciting people to make trouble and beating students. Do you want to explain?" Wanyan Lin sat on the dragon chair, and even though he displayed the coolness that belonged to the emperor, Su Mianyue still saw the worry in his eyes.

His heart warmed up. He was on his side.

Su Mianyue raised his head and raised his lips, "Where is the evidence? The ministry of justice also needs evidence. As a first-class minister, can you identify the crimes of your ministers with just a few words?"

The hundred officials obviously did not expect Su Mianyue to have such an attitude, and immediately someone jumped out and accused him, "The students do not like Mr. Su being a woman but an official in the court. Now because of lord su, the Tianlan army is under pressure, and then there are rioters beating the students. Besides Mr. Su's instructions, who else can it be? Mr. Su can't get rid of the suspicion even if he has a glib tongue. Why not just confess and save the emperor's time?"

"Mr. Zhu, right? You didn't rinse your mouth this morning, did you?" After scolding lord zhu for his bad breath, Su Mianyue smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "Lord zhu wants me to confess, but why should I confess? I sit straight and swear to god that I have never done anything that would make god punish me. There were students making trouble around the official residence. This official thought did not bother them when they were young. Otherwise, the crime of disrespect to the official would be enough for them to go to court. What's more, the behavior of these students is already considered to be partnering and doing private business. Even before they become officials, it is obvious that their moral character is not good. Such a person is not worthy to say that he is a scholar, nor is he worthy to use the pillars of the court as the standard."

Su Mianyue's voice grew colder and colder, and her sharp gaze swept across the officials. When she saw that the faces of the few people were extremely ugly, she said with a faint smile, "This official's heart of a western genius did not make those students pay the price, but they became even more severe. At this time, they were blocked at the entrance of the palace. Dare you ask if all the adults can convict them of forcing the palace?"

"The students are young and full of vigor. They have one thing in their hearts, and they are never unfaithful to the emperor." Some officials were so frightened that they knelt down, and there were many who agreed.

Su Mianyue, however, was too lazy to look at them. His eyes fell on lord zhu, who was the first to criticize him, and he said coldly, "Lord zhu has repeatedly emphasized students, but he wants me to report their names and origins to you. Your excellency has really raised a good son. Even without fame, you know how to form a group to frame the court officials. Just as Mr. Zhu said, I suspect that your excellency instructed your son to incite the students to frame our official. Otherwise, how can you know the news outside the palace if you ask for a petition in the palace? Your excellency is indeed a good schemer, and I am ashamed to be inferior to you. Indeed, only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"Mr. Su, you!" Lord zhu's face turned green with anger. Su Mianyue had only said a few words to make him the enemy of his colleagues. Now, Su Mianyue pointed at them and called them villains. His face was burning with pain.

"I'm here, sir zhu. Do you have anything else to say?" Su Mianyue asked calmly. Seeing that lord zhu was speechless, he looked at the officials who were about to speak and sneered, "Of course, it is possible that it was not your orders. Just now, I suspected you as you suspected me, just because you are all suspects. However, how could you kneel outside the imperial study door and know the news outside if you did not give your permission in advance? Could it be..."

Taking a deep breath, Su Mianyue pointed trembling fingers at a group of courtiers. It took him a long time to find his voice. He looked at them with a look of disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you bribed the palace or the Imperial Guard to send you a message? Oh my god, your excellency is such a good man. Whether it was to incite the students to pull them under their own camp or to bribe the palace Imperial Guard, it was a good plan. However, it would be too much of a fuss if your excellency were only targeting a woman of this rank. But if it wasn't for the actions against the officials, it would be... Tsk tsk, your excellency's schemes are too deep for me to see through."

Su Mianyue's words fell, and the officials immediately knelt down to plead guilty and said that this matter had nothing to do with themselves, only those officials who had children involved in this matter were all ashen, because they were clear that this time, someone must be a scapegoat, although not necessarily lost his head, the position of the official must not be preserved.

After yan lin was furious, the court dealt with a few officials who were not high ranking but were in charge of important positions, and the courtiers calmed down. They used to rely on the law not to blame everyone for causing trouble, but forgot the supremacy of imperial power. Some people had already begun to move closer to the royal-protecting party, or they would not know how to die in the future.

Before Wanyan Lin wanted to drive away the officials, Su Mianyue bowed his hand and said, "I heard that the Tianlan army is pressing down on the border. Although I don't know what this matter has to do with me, I don't want to be ruined because of me. I hope that the emperor can give me a chance to serve my country and share my worries with you."

Su Mianyue's voice was faint, and his bright eyes looked straight at Wanyan Lin's handsome face. He did not want to miss any of his expressions, but he did not explain how he intended to work.

Wanyan Lin clenched his hands and stared at Su Mianyue for a long time without saying a word. This matter had not been made a final decision, but he did not want to shake Su Mianyue's trust in him.

"Mr. Su is indeed broad-minded, willing to sacrifice his life for the court. Presumably, Mr. Su will go here, the Tianlan will definitely withdraw, and the people of the Hengyuan will definitely remember Mr. Su's contribution." Mr. Zhu came up again fearlessly, because he had given Su Mianyue the most gifts before, and then Wanyan Lin made the donation plan, Mr. Zhu donated the most money every quarter, which was why he hated Su Mianyue.

At this rate, it would take less than three years to donate more than half of his family business, so there's no point in him becoming an official.

Therefore, it was lord zhu's greatest wish to expel Su Mianyue from the court, and many officials were happy to cooperate.

Listening to the false words of the officials, Su Mianyue only felt his brain buzzing. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Master zhu really knows how to be an official, but I am really curious. If I give up my life, how should the court collect the compensation for the Tianlan and let those cities be ceded? If the anger of the Tianlan emperor still doesn't subside after the settlement, what should the Tianlan do to extinguish the flame of the other party? Find another Su Mianyue?"

Successfully gagging the officials, Su Mianyue snorted coldly and arched his hand at Wanyan Lin, "I have a headache. I will leave first and await the arrival of the oracle."

With that said, Su Mianyue brushed her sleeves and left without a cloud. As for whether the officials would make Wanyan Lin angry or not, it was not Su Mianyue's concern. She just wanted to know what Wanyan Lin wanted.
