"Yes, sir!"
When the guard stood up to leave, the fat woman exclaimed, "No, no, no, no. We can talk, we can talk!"
Lu Huan's expression did not change as he closed his fan and pointed at the yamen. "Don't force her, sue her!"
The fat woman cried out. What had happened at the stall?
He originally thought that everything would be fine once he received the silver. Who would have thought that he would run into such a tough person?
"I'm not going to tell anymore, it's all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
Lu Huan Zhi tried even harder, "What are you afraid of? Go ahead and report it. This prince will go ahead and burn it."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, please spare me, Your Highness!" This humble one was also ordered by someone else and was obsessed with money! "
Only then did Su Zhi retract her stance of watching a joke. With a cold voice, she said, "Tell me who ordered this, and I won't pursue this matter."
The fat woman slapped her thigh and hatefully said, "How would I know? A man was giving me money. He said that as long as you entered the government office, he would give you another 20 taels. I really don't know!"
"You don't know where that person came from?"
The fat woman quickly shook her head, "I don't know. This is my fault, I shouldn't have been greedy. You are in charge. Please do us a favor and let us off! "
Su Zhi did not say anything immediately. She was at a loss as to who was behind all of this.
Could this be An Yang's doing? With her personality, she shouldn't be afraid of getting caught. She shouldn't have done it so flawlessly.
"Sure, anyway, we shouldn't have gone to the yamen to settle this matter anyway. Come with me to the store and explain everything."
"Alright, alright, whatever you want to do is fine."
The commotion had died down. Fortunately, Lu Huan had appeared. Otherwise, they would have no idea how it would have ended.
Su Zhi glanced at the person who had exploded on the side, and for the first time, she felt that this man also had a good impression of him.
"What are you looking at? Do you suddenly think that I'm handsome and unparalleled?"
She giggled. "Thank you, Crown Prince, for today."
Lu Huan Zhi snorted and stretched out four fingers, "You owe me four meals!"
Su Zhi giggled. "Alright, four meals is four meals."
"However, if you think that my performance is really not bad, you can add another bit."
"I don't think so …"
"Tsk, stingy!"
After settling the disturbance in the shop, Lu Huan Zhi rode his Cyan Maned Horse and galloped towards the long street.
Li Yi, who was extremely anxious, hurriedly went up to inquire after the few people that had returned.
The fat woman had changed her attitude. She clasped her hands together and apologized sincerely to Su Zhi. Not only that, she had also wandered around a place with a large amount of customers, explaining the farce from earlier.
Li Yi never imagined that someone would change after returning from a single trip.
"Xiaosu, what magic did you cast on them?"
Su Zhi shrugged helplessly. "Another great favor."
In short, since the matter had been resolved, there was no need to go to the yamen.
After the fat woman and the little girl left, Qiu Hong came back from outside. The moment she entered the door, she eagerly told Su Zhi the information she had gathered.
"Boss, I asked. That woman doesn't have a daughter, just two useless sons. "This young lady, she was bought by a woman from a man to be his daughter-in-law!"
No wonder, Su Zhi felt it was strange. Which mother put her daughter's face in front of him and didn't treat her? She came to confront him first, but that attitude didn't seem like she was concerned about the girl at all.
"What else did you find out?"
Qiu Hong thought about it and said, "That woman is greedy for money and likes to take small advantages of others. There are no neighbors who like her, but that person is domineering and swears that no one around her would dare to take the risk."
Su Zhi nodded. She already understood what was going on.
However, she still didn't dare be certain of the person behind all of this.
If it was An Yang's doing again, she would have no choice but to retaliate. However, it wasn't good to just randomly find people to confront him. There had to be evidence.
"From now on, you have to be more careful when you're selling things. If you're not a regular customer, you should pay more attention. There might be people who are plotting against you."
Qiu Hong understood. After hearing Su Zhi's words, she also understood.
"Boss, our shop was only cleaned up once last time, wasn't it? Is it the same person? "
Su Zhi shook her head, somewhat at a loss. "I'm not sure. I think so, but I can't guarantee it. After all, there's no evidence."
"Then, how about we find Young Master Li and check it out?"
This was a good method. She knew that Li Wuyou had the ability to investigate a case. If she let him do it, she might find out very soon.
"Sure, make a trip to the Black Cloud Stronghold and tell him that I want to ask him to investigate something."
"Alright, this little one will do it right away."
After Qiu Hong left, Su Zhi was still unable to calm down. When she thought of the people who carried the Gu on their backs, she could not help but worry about the flowery situation.
What was even more troubling was that she already vaguely knew that this matter would only be the beginning and not the end.
But who could it be? Was it his peers who were jealous? Or was it An Yang's doing?
Zhao manor, deep in the garden.
The ten fingers of the man playing the zither flapped as the originally steady melody abruptly rose in height. The rapidly rising zither music was accompanied by a faint killing intent.
The Dragon-Li cat curled up at the man's feet hissed sharply and ran away with its four feet.
After a while, the zither music slowly came to an end.
The bamboo leaves that were scattered about due to the murderous aura fell to the ground, causing the red plum blossoms beside the pavilion to be unable to endure the torment and be crushed by Ying Xue's pressure.
Zhao Jian had heard the zither music from far away. He waited until the sound had died down before speeding up his pace and rushing to the pavilion by the side of the water.
"Zheng'er should know that the plan has failed."
The man with the slightly closed eyes nodded his head, his face expressionless.
The flying bamboo leaves were bounced off before they could get close.
Zhao Zheng fiddled with the zither strings and suddenly laughed, "Interesting. This woman is together with Xiao Qian and has some relationship with Shen Zhu. Now that there's a new heir, it doesn't seem like it's clear who the Liu Family is before. "He really is amazing, to be able to pull out so many influential people."
After laughing, she answered her own question, "That's right, she is Old Su's daughter after all."
Back then, that man whose name was renowned throughout the world, no matter how many people could compare to him by a single finger, his own little sister would never be that bad.
Zhao Jian looked a little depressed. His plan had failed and he was getting anxious.
"Now that the matter has been suppressed by Xuan City's young crown prince, it's impossible for us to take the opportunity to cause a huge ruckus."
"What's there to be afraid of? One trick doesn't produce two tricks." "Send them to keep an eye on the Hu Shang scouts, we can make some noise now."
"That's fine, then we'll start from the Hu Merchants' side."
Zhao Zheng stood up and brushed the wrinkles off his clothes. With his hands behind his back, he stared at the ground covered in red, lost in thought. When he looked at the red plum blossom on the branch, he couldn't help smiling. "I heard that the girl called Little Dou Bao was picked up by that woman. She sent someone to investigate where the girl's biological parents were."
"Zheng'er, what are you planning this time?"
"Hmph, she came to Xuan City without saying a word and wanted to live a peaceful life? I'm afraid it'll be difficult. "
Zhao Jian understood and immediately sent his servants to deal with this matter.
Zhao Zheng stood under the red plum tree and put a plum blossom under his nose. He suddenly thought of the smiling man from many years ago.
"Su Junyi, did you expect that your Su Clan would not perish?"
He plucked a plum flower and twirled it between his fingers. His movements were gentle, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
No matter what, he wouldn't let any of the Su Family go this time.
