Before Lu Lingzhi was defeated, Su Yanning had been in contact with him. However, at that time, Lu Lingzhi had just become a Marquis and had yet to gain a foothold in the capital. Therefore, he had not been able to help Su Yanning plan anything in the capital. After waiting for two years, Su Yanning had been sent to the wilderness without Lu Lingzhi's help.
He had sent people to inquire about Master Rong's whereabouts and identity, but the results were fruitless.
What kind of person could be so mysterious?
Su Yanning recalled what his sister-in-law said today.
She said that Miss Ye's maid had unintentionally revealed that they had been to the Imperial Garden and often went there …
Imperial Garden? What kind of person could go to the Imperial Garden so often?
A person appeared in Su Yanning's mind, but he quickly rejected it. It was impossible! If Master Rong was really that person, why would he appear in Jinkou City at this time?
While he was doubting Master Rong's identity, Mo Rongzhan had already walked in from outside. Seeing Su Yanning sitting at the table by the window, he just nodded slightly.
They did not meet at the inn, but in the wing of the teahouse opposite the inn. The entire wing of the building was empty.
"Master Rong." Su Yanning hurriedly stood up and looked at Mo Rongzhan cautiously.
Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly, "Boss Su, sorry to keep you waiting."
"I just arrived. It is my honor that Master Rong could take the time to meet me." Su Yanning said with a smile.
"Boss Su, we just met today. Why did you send an invitation?" Mo Rongzhan asked knowingly, pretending not to know what Su Yanning wanted.
Su Yanning said with a smile, "It seems that Master Rong did not like my hospitality today. I came to apologize in person."
"Boss Su, you are too polite." Mo Rongzhan sat down. He still looked indifferent, not curious about the reason why Su Yanning was so anxious to see him.
This Young Master Rong is really unfathomable! Su Yanning sighed in his heart. He had always been a good judge of people, but he felt that he could not see through Master Rong at all.
"Actually …" Su Yanning hesitated for a moment and felt that it was better to get straight to the point. Otherwise, if he continued to probe, he might not be able to get any information from the Young Master. He had thought that he could suppress him, but now it seemed that he didn't even have to think about it. "I have something to ask you."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "Go ahead."
Su Yanning sighed in his heart. He was an arrogant person, otherwise, he would not have the achievements he had today. However, his arrogance was cultivated and accumulated, while this Young Master Rong seemed to be born to be a king. He had a kind of innate certainty and confidence that made people involuntarily bow their heads in front of him.
"Young Master Rong, this Su and Lu Lingzhi can be considered to have interacted for some time. Not long ago, I heard about what happened to him. My heart is really puzzled. I wonder … what exactly did he do wrong?" Su Yanning asked in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows lightly. "Mr. Su, are you going to cry out for Lu Lingzhi?"
"No, you've misunderstood me. I'm just afraid …" Su Yanning hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Afraid that Lu Lingzhi will end up like a dog being cooked after the rabbit is dead? Is it because the current Emperor can't tolerate the merchants who helped him in the past? "Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold. How could he not know what Su Yanning was thinking?
Su Yanning looked at him in surprise. "Young Master Rong, please don't misunderstand. This Su is just a merchant and has little experience. If I said something wrong, please forgive me."
Mo Rongzhan said indifferently, "It's understandable that you would have such thoughts. The reason why Lu Lingzhi ended up like this is naturally because he did something disgraceful. If His Majesty really couldn't tolerate your help back then, your Su Family wouldn't have survived until today."
"Hearing Young Master Rong's words, this Su is relieved." Su Yanning breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the help that year, his Su Family had a lot of things to do in the past two years.
"For Boss Su to be able to have such achievements in Jinkou City, it's obvious that you're quite capable." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, his slender fingers lightly tapping on the table. "All these years, no matter how many governors the Imperial Court has sent to Jinkou City, none of them have been able to properly manage Jinkou City. In some aspects, Jinkou City has always been independent, especially the Chamber of Commerce … I heard that there are some who want to seek refuge with the Kingdom of Qi."
Su Yanning was shocked. "Young Master Rong, why do you say that? Our Chamber of Commerce does have business with the Kingdom of Qi, but I've never heard of seeking refuge. "
Mo Rongzhan smiled and nodded. "It's naturally for the best. Boss Su is a smart person. You should understand that the Imperial Court has a laissez-faire attitude towards Jinkou City. It's also to make it easier for you to do business."
"Yes." Su Yanning nodded. "As the President of the Chamber of Commerce and the Head of Jinkou City, this Su is very clear about this."
"Boss Su is a smart person. With someone like you assisting the Imperial Court in managing Jinkou City, the Emperor will naturally be at ease," Young Master Rong said with a smile.
Su Yanning's heart skipped a beat. What did this mean? Did he want him to work for the Imperial Court in Jinkou City?
Was this his intention or the Emperor's?
"Even Ye Yisong couldn't make the Chamber of Commerce in Jinkou City listen to his orders. I believe Boss Su knows the reason behind it. However, Ye Yisong is no longer around. The Imperial Court has no intention of restricting the Chamber of Commerce, but they don't want to have no control at all." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently. Jinkou City's geographical location was rather special. He definitely didn't want people from other countries to play tricks in the dark here.
Su Yanning nodded lightly. "This Su understands Young Master Rong's meaning. If there are people in the Chamber of Commerce who commit treason, this Su will definitely not let them off lightly."
"Jinkou City doesn't have the Lu Clan, but Boss Su is the pillar. This Su will report this matter to the Chen Palace when I return to the capital." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently. He had stopped here. What to do next depended on Su Yanning.
"Many thanks, Young Master Rong." Su Yanning's eyes revealed a smile. This was the purpose of him looking for Young Master Rong today. He could work for the Imperial Court, but he couldn't do it quietly. He hoped that what he did could be seen by the Emperor. Even if he didn't get a title in the future, he could at least fight for a noble future for the Su Clan's descendants.
Mo Rongzhan nodded. "That's it then."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Yanning stood up and said, "Young Master Rong, please forgive this Su for being nosy. I wonder if you still remember the little girl you saved back then?"
"What little girl?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. It was obvious that he had no memory of it.
Sure enough, a noble person was busy and had completely forgotten about it. To think that Xia Qiniang had kept her chastity for so many years and treated her as his woman.
"Back then on the pleasure boat, you saved a little girl who was sold by her father. Later, Lu Lingzhi handed her over to the owner of the Music Bar. Now that girl has grown up and become the boss of the Music Bar," Su Yanning reminded in a low voice.
