Chapter 292 What Happened
Inside the prefectural governor's residence.
Tang Yu, who has now regained his status as the Imperial Preceptor, looked at Li Mengyao in front of him.
Only then did I realize that the other person was unusually uncomfortable and looked extremely nervous.
But he knew it was inevitable, but this was a rigidly class-based ancient society.
Their own status was supreme, an existence that they could not even look up to.
Even if you want to have an equal dialogue with the other party, they probably won't be able to do so.
However, looking at Li Mengyao in front of him, Tang Yu still spoke slowly and very seriously.
“Miss Li, didn’t we agree this morning that you would call me Young Master Tang and I would call you Miss Li?”
"Is everything the same as before? Why the strangeness now?"
Looking at Tang Yu in front of her, Li Mengyao felt that what she had said that morning was absurd.
Although she knew that Tang Yu was the Imperial Advisor, she did not know what that identity meant at the time.
Or rather, her vision and understanding were completely unaware of the profound meaning and implications of the title of Imperial Preceptor.
At the time, she simply thought that the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu was an identity.
But at most, he's just a rather remarkable person; how strong can he be?
Now, in that square in the afternoon, she saw those nobles whom she would never dare to offend on ordinary days.
Before Tang Yu, they were like stray dogs, swaying and begging for mercy.
In the end, Tang Yu simply raised his hand, and the entire family perished.
Only then did she realize that there was an insurmountable chasm between her and Tang Yu.
That's why she's so reserved now.
Finally, Tang Yu stood in front of Li Mengyao and slowly spoke.
"Miss Li, do you still remember the scene last night when we talked all night long?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mengyao was taken aback at first, and then slowly nodded.
She would never forget what Tang Yu said last night.
Because Tang Yu praised her for being exceptionally beautiful last night.
This was a compliment Li Mengyao had never received before.
Tang Yu nodded seriously.
"In that case, I consider Miss Li a friend, and I hope that Miss Li will treat me the same way."
Without commenting, Li Mengyao nodded seriously as she looked at Tang Yu.
She knew that Tang Yu was saying this to save face for her.
Otherwise, if Tang Yu gave the order, he would have to cooperate with him no matter what.
After all, the other party was Tang Yu, the Grand Tutor of the Qin State.
If the other party really wants to do something, how can I refuse?
After adjusting her mindset and breathing, Li Mengyao approached Tang Yu and gracefully bowed.
"In that case, Young Master Tang, then this humble woman will not stand on ceremony."
Looking at Li Mengyao's appearance and her tall figure, Tang Yu nodded.
This is the heroic, independent, and self-reliant female manager Li Mengyao in his eyes.
He immediately looked at Shen Lang beside him and said slowly.
"Shen Lang! Come here and tell me about the mysterious fabric you've investigated."
"At the same time, you and Miss Li should exchange information to see if there are any errors."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang quickly stepped forward to Tang Yu's side.
He glanced at Li Mengyao, who was not far from him, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Based on his understanding of Tang Yu and his years of observation, he knew that the woman in front of him was probably more than just someone who helped investigate this case.
Perhaps in the future she will also become one of the most distinguished women in the entire country.
Li Mengyao, who had already accepted that Tang Yu was still an ordinary person, looked at Shen Lang with a puzzled expression.
She never imagined that this matter would be related to her.
However, since she had already agreed to help Tang Yu, and considering Tang Yu's handsome appearance...
Coupled with the compliments the other party had given her the night before, Li Mengyao felt a flutter in her heart.
Young Master Tang is the only man in all these years to compliment my beauty, and judging from his expression, there wasn't a trace of insincerity in his words.
In that case, I must repay Young Master Tang properly.
After silently saying this to herself, Li Mengyao looked at Shen Lang in front of her.
"Does Lord Shen have any information he may share with me?"
"If I knew, I would answer without reservation."
Looking at Li Mengyao's appearance, Shen Lang shuddered.
"Young lady? Lord Shen?"
How could Shen Lang possibly be worthy of this?
He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said.
"Miss Li is too kind. In fact, Miss Li should already be aware of this matter..."
He then slowly began to speak, summarizing all the intelligence he and the other members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had gathered.
"Your Excellency, the mysterious fabric, according to my understanding..."
"It is the family textile technology of a noble family that once humiliated His Majesty, a marquis family of the Zhao Kingdom."
"Moreover, the fabric, weaving pattern, and dyeing technique are all very unique and strictly kept secret."
"Each of these three processes has a dedicated craftsman and a person responsible for keeping it secret. The purpose of this is to ensure that it is never passed on to outsiders and that no outsiders can learn it."
"That's why their fabrics were exceptionally famous throughout the seven kingdoms back then. They made a fortune from it."
Tang Yu nodded simply in response to Shen Lang's words.
Then he looked at Shen Lang with a puzzled expression.
"So, in that case, logically speaking, all the production techniques related to this fabric should be absolutely impossible to leak?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, Grand Preceptor, based on my understanding and speculation, the Ji family's control over this material may be much stricter than we expected."
"Not only are the craftsmen responsible for the three fabrics separate, but the processes they are responsible for are also different for each of these processes. Moreover, there are special personnel to keep it confidential, so it is absolutely impossible for it to be leaked to the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu turned his gaze to Li Mengyao, who was not far from him, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"But Miss Li, since this fabric is so mysterious, how did you find out about it?"
"I heard that your father was also in the fabric business. I wonder if he left you any information about this fabric?"
In fact, Tang Yu already had a rough idea of the other party's identity.
If the speculation is proven true, then Tang Yu will close the case in an instant.
After all, as mentioned before, Tang Yu is not like people of this era who have all sorts of strange shackles and restrictions.
Tang Yu would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
