After sending off Lonesome Flower, Su Zhi's heart felt even more depressed. He had originally thought that this matter would be a foolproof plan, but to think that Li Wuyou would actually be severely injured.

In this way, the person behind him would no longer be An Yang. With that woman's personality, she was probably worried that Su Zhi might not be clear and might not be able to put up a show of force against her. She shouldn't be able to injure her people to such an extent.

But if it wasn't An Yang, then who else could it be? If he had the ability to injure Li Wuyou, how many people would there be in the Imperial City?

Hearing the bad news early in the morning, Su Zhi was depressed. Even when she went to the shop, she still had a worried expression on her face. She had a vague feeling that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined. The shadow that shrouded Flower Mansion was perhaps even darker than she had imagined.

"Boss!"

While she was still focused, Qiu Hong rushed up. Her face was anxious, as if there was something hard to say.

Su Zhi snapped out of her daze. Seeing her in such a state of panic, her heart rose to her throat.

"What's wrong?"

"This is not good, boss. The yamen just posted the latest notice saying that a few Hu merchants were caught outside Xuan City killing people for their goods." Shuang'er and the others even went to take a look. The portrait on the notice was of the people who had come to the shop yesterday. "

"What did you say?"

Su Zhi stood up in shock, causing her entire body to turn cold. Ai Ai and the others have been captured? And because of the murder laws?

"The notice also said that Hu Shang had accomplices, and that the government will uncover them one by one."

A'Ai still had the contract she had just signed. The message from Flower Mansion and Su Zhi's own signature were written on black and white. If they were to investigate this, wouldn't that mean that the first thing they would do was to follow the trail …

"Little Su!" Little Su, come down quickly! "

Li Yi's voice came from the main hall. Su Zhi walked out of the cubicle and looked down. She saw a group of constables in official uniform carrying scimitars patrolling the shop.

"Go away, go away, don't affect the official business!"

Because the soldiers had paid them a visit, all of the guests who had gathered there had been coaxed into leaving.

Su Zhi rushed downstairs and was stopped by the lead constable. The constable with a moustache stood in front of her and looked her up and down. He asked with an aggressive attitude, "You're Su Zhi?"

"Yes, sir."

The leader snorted and waved at the people behind him, "Take her away!"

"Wait!"

Li Yi rushed forward and withdrew a silver ingot from his pocket before handing it over. "Sir, why are you capturing him?" We are all good people and have never done anything before. "

The leader of the constables stowed the silver away skillfully and his attitude softened, "The yamen caught a few smugglers from the Great Wei. Those grandchildren even killed some people. Our men found this on them."

He took a folded piece of white paper from his sleeve and showed it to the two of them.

Su Zhi could see clearly that this was the contract that she had signed yesterday.

"There's no mistake, bring him away!"

Li Yi quickly stopped him, "Sir, please observe clearly, this is an ordinary contract. We also know that these people will do something. Their actions definitely have nothing to do with Hua Manlou. "

"Who knows? I have to bring him to the yamen to interrogate and interrogate him!"

The crowd could not stop her and could only watch as she was arrested and brought away.

"Qiu Hong, hurry to the capital to find Xiao …" That's not right, General Xiao had already left, there was no use in going. Li Yi held his hands as he paced around anxiously.

"I think perhaps I can ask for your help with this matter." Qiu Hong tried asking.

Lu Huan often hung around the shop. It seemed that she was on good terms with Su Zhi. She did not know if he could step in and let the matter go.

"That's fine. Quickly go to the Prince Yongning Mansion and look for His Highness. Tell him that Little Su has been taken away by the yamen. The situation is urgent!"

Qiu Hong nodded and ran out of the main door, looking gloomy.

After being taken away by the soldiers, Su Zhi panicked for a while and quickly calmed down.

When she thought about what happened yesterday and what happened now, she had reason to believe that there was a powerful force behind it.

She had no idea what the person behind her was up to. Being able to mobilize so much power to deal with Flowerfruit, it shouldn't be just about the business of the shop.

Seeing that it was about to rain, the group quickened their pace. Su Zhi was surrounded in the middle and pointed at by the commoners on the street.

"Look, isn't that Hua Manlou's new manager?"

"That's right, their things are both cheap and good, I don't know why they are going to the government."

As the passersby discussed amongst themselves, Su Zhi was not feeling well, for fear that one incident after another would affect her shop's business.

"Looking at a gentle and refined woman, she doesn't seem to be someone who would commit crimes."

"That's not necessarily true. Yesterday, someone from their family caused trouble. They said that if that soap was used, their face would be disfigured!"

"It can't be. My lady really likes the things in their shop. Once there's a new product, she's definitely going to buy it."

In the face of criticism, Su Zhi kept her head high and chest puffed up, not showing any signs of abnormal behavior.

Hua Manlou's operation was the clearest to her. She would not touch upon the laws of the Wei Dynasty in any aspect.

They hadn't done anything bad, and even if they went to the government, they wouldn't be afraid.

But these rumors were bound to be false. I'm afraid that after this incident, the flow of customers will be greatly reduced.

He was taken all the way to the yamen, but the government official did not show his face. The lead constable quickly locked Su Zhi up in the dungeon, then left after clapping his hands.

"Lord Guan, can I see your lord?"

"Be honest and see you when you are summoned."

The constable locked the cell and left quickly.

"Little Su!"

In the cell opposite, there were three men in strange clothes.

Su Zhi recognized Ai Ai Hui and the others at a glance.

"What's going on with all of you? How could you kill someone?"

A'ai hurriedly waved his hand to defend himself. "We did not. Yesterday, we left the shop and went to another place to look, wanting to learn more about the local customs and customs of the Great Wei. At night, I left for the guesthouse by the way of Xuancheng's government office to stay at night, but somehow, I was caught and brought in. "

No murder?

Su Zhi paused slightly and continued asking, "Are you sure you didn't dare to violate the law?"

"Indeed not. When we arrived at the inn, it was already very late. The three of us huddled together in a room, and when we heard movement outside, we went out to look. There was a person lying on the ground, and when we went up to check, he was already dead. Then, some officials rushed in and insisted that we were the ones who did it.

In other words, Ai Hui's group was framed?

"How long has it been since you guys last saw the dead and then the soldiers barged in?"

"We had just decided that the man was dead when the soldiers came in. We just happened to bump into each other."

Su Zhi was certain that this had been set long ago. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

This is our first time in the Imperial City and we've already encountered such a situation. If we can't get rid of the suspicion, how can we go back? Let alone doing business, they might even die in a foreign land if not for their bodies and bodies. "

"Don't worry, we can get out. Since it wasn't us who did it, we shouldn't go down on our laurels. We must find out everything."

Even though those words were said, the few of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Connecting her with what had happened before and after, Su Zhi felt that she had not been implicated by Ai Hui and the others, and that it was very likely that she had implicated them.

Xiang Zhuang's sword intent was clear.

The person who really wanted to catch him was probably her.

"Xiaosu, do you know anyone? Can you guarantee that we can get out? We really were wronged. "

Su Zhi sighed. If Xiao Qian was here, perhaps he would be. But now that he was not, she did not know who she should seek help from. Moreover, from the looks of this chain of events, it seemed that it was completely against her, and the power of the people behind it was not small either.

"I'll try my best to think of a way. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

When she said this, even she wasn't confident.

He was originally an honest businessman. This time, he didn't know who he had offended. He wanted to find trouble with you, but how could he deal with it?

After about two incense sticks of time, Su Zhi was finally brought out of the prison.

The jailer took her to the courthouse lobby and met with the magistrate.

"Is the one sitting here Su Zhi?"

"That's me."

"You colluded with those trashy merchants who killed people for no reason?"

Su Zhi was not afraid in the slightest. She directly looked into the county scout's eyes and said, "Whether or not those people actually killed them for their goods, I hope that sire can make a clear observation. Although I've signed a business contract with them, I'm not aware of their whereabouts."

Zhixian nodded, "You're right, but those few people are suspicious and can't move around too much." If anyone can prove that they are truly innocent, I can release them. "

Hearing this, Su Zhi felt that there was hope, "Then could the Lord temporarily let this woman have her freedom, and allow me to find out the truth of the matter!?"

The Prefect rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "This is fine, but you have to investigate this matter as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible!"

Su Zhi left the yamen without any obstruction. In order to keep an eye on her, Zhixian had specially sent two constables to follow her.

The three of them rushed to the place where the murder had started.
