Considering that he behaves so arrogantly, doesn't the prefect of Rongcheng care?

Then we have to say that the wife of Zhou Zheng, the prefect of Rongcheng, is Su Ruoruo, the daughter of the Su family.

Su Ruoruo is fourteen years younger than Su Yan. She treats her younger brother Su Yan like her own son and loves him very much, even more than Master Su and Madam Su.

Seeing the relationship between Zhou Zheng and the Su family, Shang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

He remembered that Zhou Zheng was an upright person who always distinguished between public and private matters. Could he have seen it wrong?

Shang Yue put the things the secret guards had found on the table, raised his head and said coldly, "Come here, go and find out if Zhou Zheng knows what Su Yan did."

……

More than fifty of the most powerful guards sent out by the Su Mansion all returned injured, and many were so seriously injured that they could not even move.

Another group of people were killed, and Mr. Su and Mrs. Su became even angrier. Their brains were burned by anger and they had no ability to think at all.

They had no choice but to go to the Su Mansion.

When Su Ruoruo heard that someone had hurt her brother, and the injury was serious, and that those people dared to hurt someone from the Su family, her face instantly darkened.

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom. I'll send someone to teach those people a lesson right away."

Madam Su's face lit up, and then she reminded him, "Ruoruo, those people live in Yuelai Inn, and they are good at martial arts. This morning, we sent people to Yuelai Inn to arrest them, and they destroyed a lot of things, and they asked us to pay compensation. You'd better explain it to them, and wait until they leave Yuelai Inn before taking action."

"Mother, I know."

Even Zhou Zheng was very polite to the owner of Yuelai Inn, so Su Ruoruo naturally knew that she couldn't take action in Yuelai Inn.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go back with you to see Yan'er."

Su Ruoruo followed him back to the Su Mansion.

Here, Su Ruoruo sent people to wait at Yuelai Inn.

On the other side, just after dinner, the secret guards who were investigating Zhou Zheng came back.

The investigation showed that Zhou Zheng really didn't know what Su Yan had done.

Those who wanted to sue were dealt with by the Su family before they could do anything. In addition, with the help of Su Ruoruo, whom Zhou Zheng loved very much, Zhou Zheng didn't even know about the bad things his brother-in-law had done.

"Take this and ask Zhou Zheng to come see me."

Shang Yue took out the gold medal that represented his identity.

The guard took it with both hands and turned to leave the private room.

In just quarter of an hour, Zhou Zheng arrived.

Zhou Zheng has a handsome and elegant appearance, clear eyes, and at first glance he is a man of his words and deeds.

"Your Majesty, I did not know you were coming. I am sorry for not coming to greet you."

"No need to be polite." Shang Yue watched Zhou Zheng stand up and said calmly, "Please sit down."

Zhou Zheng sat opposite Shang Yue, wondering why the emperor came to Rongcheng. Didn't they say that the emperor and the queen went to the temple to pray a few days ago?

Shang Yue didn't say much, but threw what he had found in front of Zhou Zheng, "Take a look at this."

Zhou Zheng glanced at Shang Yue and picked up the book in front of him.

As he watched, his expression changed from confusion to shock and finally to anger.

He quickly stood up and knelt down, "It is my fault for failing to do my job, Your Majesty, please punish me."

"You were indeed derelict in your duty. Not only did you know nothing about what Su Yan did, but your wife also used your power to suppress the victim."

There was no fluctuation in Shang Yue's voice, but his tone showed his anger without disguising it.

When Zhou Zheng and Su Ruoruo got married, Su Yan was just a few years old. When they didn't have any children yet, they took care of him like their own child.

Later, as Su Yan grew up, his temperament became more and more domineering.

After Su Ruoruo kept saying this for several years, he thought that Su Yan was just a little overbearing, and was actually a kind-hearted person who just loved beauty.

He thought the women in his backyard were willing, but he didn't expect that most of them were kidnapped by him.

In order to hide the evil deeds Su Yan had done from him, his wife actually helped to cover it up and even had someone kill him.

He fell in love with Su Ruoruo at first sight and thought she was a gentle and kind person. He didn't expect that she had such a vicious side that he had never seen before.

Zhou Zheng's face was filled with regret and guilt, and he put his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

The emperor handed Rongcheng over to him because he trusted him, but his brother-in-law was Rongcheng's nightmare, and he had no idea about it. Every time he had some doubts, he would believe it as soon as Su Ruoruo said it.

If someone had been sent to investigate when the suspicion was first raised, those who came later would not have been harmed.

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory solution."

Zhou Zheng paused, feeling even more guilty when he heard that the emperor would not pursue the matter.

He assured: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will definitely resolve this matter."

"You go back! Oh, by the way, I don't want my affairs in Rongcheng to be revealed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Zheng returned with a gloomy mood around him. As soon as he got off the carriage, he met Su Ruoruo who had also just got off the carriage.

Su Ruoruo came over with a smile on her face, "Husband, are you out?"

Zhou Zheng raised his eyes, his dark eyes staring at the woman in front of him who was smiling gently. He couldn't imagine that she could do such a thing.

Su Ruoruo froze under Zhou Zheng's gaze and said unnaturally: "Master, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"No." Zhou Zheng retracted his gaze and asked calmly, "Where did you go?"

Seeing Zhou Zheng back to normal, Su Ruoruo frowned and said angrily, "Yan'er went out yesterday and was spotted by a woman. That woman had a husband, and seeing that the woman was unfaithful, he took out his anger on Yan'er. Yan'er was beaten by him and was seriously injured. It was really too much."

"I just went to see Yan'er."

Zhou Zheng's eyes dimmed with a hint of mockery, and he turned and walked into the mansion.

Su Ruoruo saw the shadow in front of her disappear, and when she turned around, she saw that Zhou Zheng had walked far away. She stood there and looked at his back with some confusion.

In the past, when my husband heard that Yan'er was injured, he would definitely show concern and send some supplements to her. But why didn't he say a word today?

There was something strange in my husband's eyes just now. Could it be that there is something difficult happening in the government office?

Su Ruoruo didn't have time to think more and hurriedly followed.

When she entered the house, Zhou Zheng was nowhere to be seen. After asking, she found out that he had gone to the study. It seemed that there was indeed something tricky going on.

As a gentle and eloquent person, she must care for and comfort Zhou Zheng at this time.

So she went to the study, but was stopped from a distance away.

"Madam, the master said that no one is allowed to disturb us."

Su Ruoruo did not force her way in and turned around and left.

As soon as she left, Zhou Zheng had someone call Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, and Su Yan to the yamen, and ordered them to surround the Su Mansion after the masters of the Su family left.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su thought that Zhou Zheng asked them to go because their daughter had filed a complaint, and Zhou Zheng wanted to see Su Yan's injuries and seek justice for him. Not only did they go, they also had Su Yan carried to the yamen.
