Su Yin was also a little surprised at this moment. Wang Sumei was demoted to a concubine more than ten years ago? Did she not know about this? Or did she hide it deliberately?
The latter is more likely.
As for Wang Shu, the two slaps were not in vain. He caused trouble with his unbridled words. Even Su Yin didn't want to help.
"Stop!" A shout came from Wang Zhu's table, but the person who spoke was Bachelor Zhang Yan.
Because the people sitting at Wang Shu's table were all car dealers, and the car driver looked dishonorable, the two young masters of the Su family didn't look at him carefully before, but now they were shocked when they heard the reputation.
"But Grand Scholar Zhang of Wenshang Pavilion?" Su Yanwu stood up to pay homage. As the commander of the guards in front of the palace, he watched the courtiers go up and down every day, so he certainly had some discernment.
This stubborn old man has always been at odds with his father, and he knows it very well. But when they meet, he can't lose his etiquette.
"Knowing that this person didn't mean anything but beating him up because of his status, these two young masters are quite capable of killing him!" Zhang Yan stood up and shouted angrily.
Su Yanwu gave a salute that was neither humble nor overbearing, and then stood up and said, "The great scholar may not know anything about the family affairs of my prime minister's office, but this person's words really offended my mother. At the least, he is contemptuous of the rules of my prime minister's office, and at the worst, he can be said to be contemptuous.
Cheng is contemptuous of national laws and disregarding the Holy Emperor's decree. He should indeed be beaten."
The original decree to demote the concubine was given by the Holy Master himself, but it was an old matter and not much was known about it.
"Nonsense! When did you need to punish you for flouting the national law? When I return to Beijing this time, I want to go to the Holy One and ask him carefully, when did the Holy One give you such rights!" Zhang Yan said with a straight face and snorted coldly.
Su Yanwu was slightly startled. His words might be useful in scaring the people, but they would be untenable if the great scholar of Wen Shang Pavilion were to examine them carefully and find fault.
Violations of national laws should be punished by the government, and violations of family laws should be punished by the head of the family. Regardless of whether he is the head of the family, let's just say that Wang Shu is not a slave of his Su family, and it is not his turn to punish.
If the laws of the country and the family are untenable, it can only be regarded as a personal grudge, a quarrel and bullying.
Su Yanwu didn't dare to take it seriously. Even if Wang Shu was really guilty of offending the royal family, could he really be dragged before the Holy Emperor to argue his case? If he offended this stubborn old man, he would not be able to do anything about it in front of the Emperor.
"It's true that the boy was angry for a moment. I hope the bachelor won't take offense. Why don't you let me go?" Su Yanwu snorted coldly and waved his hand to order his subordinates to let him go.
After saying this, Su Yanwu rolled his eyes and asked again, "Just now this person said that he was transporting cattle and sheep to Beijing for worshiping heaven. Is this true?"
Academician Zhang snorted and turned away, saying that it was none of his business.
Wang Shu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and responded respectfully, "The villain is indeed entrusted by a father-in-law in the palace to escort the heaven-sacrifice ox and sheep to the Jindu."
Su Yanwu just smiled and said, "The Holy Father personally issued an imperial edict that I will handle all procurement matters for worshiping heaven. Let the cattle and sheep be kept here."
Wang Shu was startled when he heard this, and said hurriedly, "Absolutely no, I have already received the deposit from my father-in-law. The dealership has its own rules, so you must deliver the goods in person."
Su Yanbin reprimanded, "Are you afraid that we will defraud you of a few carts of cattle and sheep? This is the decree that my father personally requested from the Holy Father. All matters concerning the purchase of sacrifices to the heavens will be handed over to my elder brother. Since it is for the sacrifices to the heavens, I asked you to hand it over.
Just hand it over!"
Su Yanwu said calmly, "You can just pay back the remaining silver taels."
Wang Shu scratched his head anxiously and turned to see Su Yin for help.
Su Yin raised his eyebrows when he saw this, "My uncle followed the two young masters and handed them the cattle and sheep." After saying this, he smiled playfully.
