Chapter 247 Meeting Master Yuan Again

When Constable Han at the door saw Su Yu and Old Man Wang coming out obediently as ordered, he quickly raised his hand and signaled his men to "go".

Humph, they are smart and don’t interfere with official business anymore. Otherwise, if he goes back to the yamen and brings more people, they will also be in trouble.

Constable Han walked in the front, while Su Yu and Old Man Wang walked in the middle of a group of officials.

The two women watched Su Yu enter the house. A moment later, he came out again with the officials, accompanied by an old man. Judging from the demeanor of these officials, Su Yu must have committed a serious crime, otherwise why would so many people come to arrest a scholar who was barely able to even tie a chicken?

After watching the officers walk out of the alley until they could no longer see their figures, the two men started chatting again.

Su's mother was still standing there. She lowered her head and murmured softly: "What should I do?"

She believed that her son had never done anything beastly, and that the words of the officers must be slander. But if they just arrested him, would Yu'er be tortured into confessing?

The only people she could think of who could save Yu'er were her husband or her family, the Zhao family. But just before Yu'er left, he specifically told her not to run around for him. What should she do?

Seeing that Su's mother looked helpless and worried, the Empress Dowager comforted her: "Don't worry, my son still has some connections in the capital, and he will definitely not let Yu'er suffer any injustice. I will send someone to deliver a message right away."

She gave the guard Yue Ren a look, and Yue Ren followed the Queen Mother to a corner. The Queen Mother deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Go and tell the prince immediately and ask him to find a way to investigate the matter and clear Yu'er's name."

Guard Yue Ren obeyed the order and bowed, saying "Yes", then ran out in a hurry.

After a cup of tea, in the study of the Jiang Mansion, Yue Ren knelt on one knee in front of Prince Ye, panting, "Your Highness, Young Master Su was taken away by the officials from the government office."

King Ye held a black piece in his hand and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Then Yue Ren repeated the words of the officer. King Ye frowned slightly and placed a black piece on his head. "Give the order and let the dark web verify it as soon as possible."

"Yes," Yue Ren bowed and immediately retreated.

The guard said angrily: "Your Highness, Su Yu is definitely not such a person."

He and Su Yu have been together for more than a day or two, and he knows his apprentice's character very well.

King Ye said: "Of course I know, but arresting people requires catching them red-handed, and releasing them also requires convincing evidence."

Anhuo said: "Your Highness is right."

On the other side, Su Yu and Old Man Wang were taken to the county jail. Along the way, there were dark cells. The air was filled with a rotten smell that went straight into people's nostrils. The oil lamps on the wall flickered, and the faces of people were reflected, but only the outlines could be vaguely seen.

Constable Han pointed to an empty cell next to Master Yuan and said, "Lock them up here."

The jailer waiting on the side unlocked the cell, pushed Su Yu and the other man in roughly, and then quickly closed the lock.

After making all these arrangements, Constable Han left quickly. He still had to ask for credit from County Magistrate Yang.

Su Yu looked at the cell. There wasn't even a window to let light in. If this person stayed here for a long time, wouldn't he be very depressed? He might even become a psychopath.

Master Yuan heard the noise from the cell next door. Sitting on the straw pile, he looked up curiously, only to see his student Su Yu. He was arrested innocently, so what shameful thing did Su Yu do to get arrested?

He wondered, could it be that he went to the brothel and snatched the prostitutes from the big shots, and offended someone?

But seeing that Su Yu hadn't noticed him yet, Master Yuan endured the pain in his buttocks and climbed up by holding on to the wooden railing.

He tried to straighten his back and hold his head high. He couldn't help but put on the airs of a teacher. He frowned and scolded loudly, "Su Yu, what shameful things did you do after being expelled from the academy? It's bad enough that you don't study well, but you were thrown into jail?"

Su Yu, who was still daydreaming, was inexplicably scolded.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. In front of him was a man with wrinkled clothes and messy hair that was scattered and covered his eyebrows. The funny mustache on his upper lip was trembling as he spoke.

Su Yu asked back: "Who are you?"

Su Yu's light words caught Master Yuan off guard. It seemed that all he had said just now was in vain.

Master Yuan snorted coldly, "You uneducated thing, you don't even recognize me?"

Master? Su Yu heard him say that and looked over carefully. Looking at his ridiculous, constantly shaking mustache, Su Yu finally realized that this was the original owner's previous master, Master Yuan.

However, Su Yu was speechless about what Master Yuan had just said. He came to this cell because he had done something shameful. Then, did Master Yuan forget that he was also in this cell?

Su Yu was still complaining silently in his heart, but Old Man Wang couldn't help it. Young Master Su was originally implicated by him, and now he was being insulted like this.

He raised his voice and asked angrily: "How can you be Mr. Su's teacher? Mr. Su's teacher looks like a gentleman, so elegant and charming. But you look like a skinny old goat, and you still dare to say that you are Mr. Su's teacher. Aren't you ashamed? And aren't you in this cell too? What kind of evil thing have you done?"

Old Man Wang thought to himself that although he had never seen Mr. Su's teacher, he had heard Mingyue and the other maids talk about Mr. Su's teacher, how handsome and noble he was, and how he didn't look like this sour scholar.

Mr. Yuan, who was not good-looking to begin with, became immediately angry and embarrassed after hearing such words. He pointed at Su Yu and started scolding: "Hmph, Su Yu, you are getting worse and worse. It's a good thing that I expelled you from the academy early. You are so useless that you can't even discipline the servants in your family."

Su Yu was not angry. He said truthfully: "Master Yuan has misunderstood. This is just an old man I know, not a servant."

What Master Yuan was thinking in his heart was that it was unknown what Su Yu had done to be arrested. Fortunately, the relationship between master and disciple had been severed long ago, and now he could only talk to him here.

As a teacher, he had some responsibility for the death of his student Han Qin, but it was not too much. He had already asked his servants to find his disciple Song Xuanzhi. After all, Song Xuanzhi's brother-in-law was County Magistrate Yang, and releasing him should only take a word from County Magistrate Yang.

In fact, he also thought about looking for his disciple Meng Shuchen, who was the nephew of County Magistrate Zhong. Unfortunately, not long after he expelled Su Yu from the academy, Meng Shuchen dropped out of school, and withdrew with several students from better family backgrounds.

So, after much deliberation, he asked his servant to find Song Xuanzhi, hoping to follow the path of County Magistrate Yang.

When Old Man Wang heard this, he expelled Master Su from the academy?

What he meant was that the old man in the long gown in front of him was Mr. Su's former teacher. He remembered that it was this short-sighted teacher who expelled such a good person as Mr. Su from the academy.

His anger suddenly rose again, and he started to curse: "You are such a mess, you still call yourself a teacher? Our Master Su is now worshipping a very good teacher, who teaches much better than you, you sour scholar."

What Old Man Wang said could be said to have once again hit the nail on the head for Master Yuan. He had been preparing for the provincial examination for many years, and the provincial examination was held every three years, but he failed repeatedly. For this reason, he didn't have much time to discipline his students, which led to his imprisonment today.

Master Yuan was very angry, but he just kept saying these two sentences, "You, you, you...Su Yu, this is how you discipline your servants."
