After Su Deng and others went to Pingningwei, Su Xinyi stayed in the mansion and did not go out again. According to the wishes of the third old master, since there are still Ma Rude's people outside, it is dangerous to go out now, so it is better to stay in the mansion and wait for Su Deng and others to come back. Say it again. New 𝟲𝟵Book Bar→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Su Xinyi didn't want to keep causing trouble to others, so she nodded and agreed. Ever since what happened that day, Su Mengyu came to see Su Xinyi whenever she had time, and she became a Su Xinyi brag.

Su Xinyi:......

Su Mengyu would bring different kinds of food every day. In just a few days, Su Xinyi had almost eaten all the delicacies in Huaining. Sometimes Su Xihua and Su Zhizhen would come over, and the sisters would get together, and then go to Su Baiwei's place. Drinking tea and chatting, the days were quite leisurely.

Especially Su Xihua and Su Zhizhen were naturally envious when they heard Su Mengyu talk about Su Xinyi's arresting feat.

Su Xihua said: "When I was young, I watched my brothers practice martial arts. I always felt it was very hard, but I never thought of learning it myself. Now I look at the sixth sister's martial arts skills, and I am quite envious."

Su Zhizhen smiled and said: "Let's just be envious. We can't bear the pain of practicing martial arts. It's just a whim."

Everyone laughed immediately, and Su Xinyi just sat there and laughed with everyone, drinking tea, admiring flowers, and chatting. There was nothing meaningful, but his whole body felt relieved, and his life was pleasant and comfortable.

If Su Deng and others hadn't come back, Su Xinyi felt that such a life would not be bad.

After Suden came back from this trip, he went to his grandfather's place first, and several people told them what happened in Pingningwei.

Commander Xie accepted the gifts they sent, but before arriving, he added another cart of earthen rituals, which was a bit puzzling.

"Grandpa, my grandson couldn't refuse, so he had to bring the things back. I couldn't figure out what the commander meant." Suden said.

The three-year old man frowned slightly. Their family had a good relationship with the surrounding health centers. They would visit during the Boxing Day every year, but other than that, they had no other contact.

Jie Jinglue's return gift made the third old man a little puzzled for a moment. After thinking about it, he thought it might be because of this incident, so he said: "Ignore this for the moment. Commander Jie Jie may just want to say thank you."

It is understandable to express gratitude for the credit of sending it to the door. Moreover, the gift is a local ritual, so it is not a big deal even if it is passed on.

Su Qi vaguely felt that something was not right. After all, he came all the way from the capital with Commander Xie and others, so he knew them somewhat. If they had no intention, they would not do such a thing.

But what are they planning?

Su Qi couldn't understand it for a moment, but he kept it in mind.

Now that the prisoner has been handed over, the third old man talked about going to Liangjiang.

Su Qi was really not surprised at all. He lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look into the eyes of Su Deng and Su Li.

"Which one of you two is going to follow?" the third old man asked, looking at Su Deng and Su Li.

The two brothers looked at each other, not sure what their grandfather meant.

After thinking about it, Suden asked, "If my grandson is willing to go, what will happen to the matters at hand?"

"Just let Su Lu and Su Li pick him up." The third old man said calmly, "It's up to you to decide whether to go or not. If you don't want to go, Su Li will go with you."

"It's not that my grandson doesn't want to go." Suden said with a smile, "In this case, I have to let the second and third brothers worry about the things at hand."

Upon hearing this, Su Li hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry."

"Then it's settled." The third old man then looked at Su Qi, "Do you want to follow me on this trip?"

Su Qi immediately said: "Yes, third uncle, my grandfather entrusted my sixth sister to me before he came. I must go."

If Su Qi didn't go and stay in Huaining, he would really have trouble sleeping and sleepless nights, so he might as well go with him.

He is a good scholar, but now...it's okay not to mention it.

The matter of going to Liangjiang was settled in this way. Su Xinyi was quite surprised when she found out. She didn't expect her third uncle to be so straightforward, so she immediately went to say thank you.

"This trip to Liangjiang was also decided by the clan. Ma Rude ruined Bai Wei's marriage and already had a grudge against our Su family. He also attacked you twice. This is also a provocation to the Su family. Naturally, we cannot turn a blind eye to this. When you go to Liangjiang for the first time, don’t act on impulse, but be cautious and careful.”

Su Xinyi felt excited when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Yes, Xinyi has written it down."

"Go ahead and prepare early. Since you want to go, let's set off tomorrow and go back early." The third old man said.

Su Xinyi was walking in the Su family's house, feeling very happy. This was a kind of joy that was recognized and strongly supported by the tribe.

This is what it feels like to work together to do something.

The Fourth Madam prepared a bag for Su Xinyi and asked Cao Qing and Mu Xing to follow her. She also prepared a lot of banknotes for her daughter to take with her. She warned her carefully and showed her concern.

Early the next morning, Su Xinyi got up quietly without disturbing anyone else. Unexpectedly, the fourth lady came to see her off.

Su Xinyi looked at her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will be back soon."

"Okay, mom will wait here for you to come back, and then we will go back to Beijing together."

"good."

Su Xinyi was dressed in gray-blue Hufu, and her hair was tied high with a wooden hairpin. She looked like she was a young master from some family.

The fourth lady sent the person out and watched as she followed Su Qi Sudeng and others on horseback. She did not turn back until their figures disappeared at the end of the long street.

Huaining originally belongs to Liangjiang, and the Liangjiang they refer to refers to Jing'an Prefecture where the Salt Administration is located.

Huaining is not far or near from Jing'an Mansion, and it only takes two days on horseback.

Jing'an Mansion is indeed the most prosperous place in Liangjiang. After entering the city gate, you can see the endless crowds of people coming and going. There are endless street vendors and hawkers. The shops on both sides are full of goods, and there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out.

Su Xinyi looked at this place and thought, it is indeed a prosperous place. This kind of prosperity is not worse than the capital city.

Su Deng took them to the Su family's residence in Jing'an Mansion to settle down first. The Su family's house was bought in the most prosperous area. There are two major shopping streets in Jing'an Mansion right outside the door, and there is the famous night market further down the road. Living here is extremely convenient.

The house in Jing'an Mansion was very spacious. It was divided into two gardens, the east and west. They lived in the east garden. Su Xinyi lived alone in the back house, and Su Qi and others lived in the front yard.

Forsythia and Cui were a little later. Taking a car was not as fast as riding a horse, so they had to arrive half a day later.

There are also servants staying in the house. The government sent a letter earlier, so the house is kept clean.

Su Xinyi took a shower and changed her clothes. This time she changed into men's casual clothes. They were gray in color and looked very inconspicuous. She also had a little powder on her face, so she didn't look so white and tender. The eyebrows are also a bit thicker, making him look like a kid from an ordinary family.

When Su Xinyi met her brothers in the front yard, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Su Xinyi also looked at their bright satin robes, with a look of surprise on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing here?"

Both sides spoke at the same time, and then there was silence again.

The team that had been training for the first time really had no tacit understanding.

Cao Qing heard the commotion and brought Mu Xing over. It has to be said that Cao Qing knew Su Xinyi. He and Mu Xing were also dressed in gray clothes, just like a man who sells his strength on the street to carry people's work. .

Suden reacted immediately, looked at Su Qi and said, "Let's go change too."

Su Qi pinched her nose in recognition, turned around and left.

When he was studying, he always wore brocade robes. The bright young man had never worn such clothes. It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that I haven’t experienced it, I’m inexperienced, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

The two of them changed their clothes and came out. They took off the jade pendants, purses, and sachets that were originally hanging on their bodies, and even the hat crowns on their heads were replaced with wooden hairpins. new

"Sixth sister, where are you planning to go?" Su Deng ate and lived with Su Qi along the way. From him, he had already learned everything about Su Xinyi's feats after returning to the Duke's Mansion.

In short, his sister behaves differently from ordinary people and likes to stay incognito.

No matter where you go, you can always find something to do.

It doesn't really make much difference whether he is looking for trouble to her or she is looking for trouble, but trouble will always happen.

Su Qi warned him very seriously, "Brother Deng, you must keep an eye on her for me. It's okay to cause trouble. Don't get hurt, or I won't get a whipping when I go back."

Suden felt that the pressure was a bit high, looking at how weird and clever the sixth sister was.

With Su Qi's reminder, Su Deng was really afraid that someone would get into trouble under his nose, so he decided to follow the route of tracking people urgently. Wherever she went, he would go.

Su Xinyi didn't know that Su Qi had sold her, so she said with a smile: "I want to find out the news first. I guess Ma Rude must have fled back to Liangjiang, but it's hard to say whether he will show up in Jing'an Mansion. "

Their goal was to arrest Ma Rude, and of course Su Xinyi also had the errand of looking for evidence.

"Where do you want to inquire?" Listening to what Su Xinyi said, Su Deng felt that he was right. He had to inquire about the news first, but did he need to dress up like this to inquire about the information?

"Of course we should first go and look around Ma Rude's former residence in Jing'an Mansion," Su Xinyi said.

"Do you know the place?" Suden was surprised that he had figured out the place so quickly?

Su Xinyi pointed at Mu Xing and said, "Let me introduce, this former guard of Ma Rude has now abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. As long as he is here, there will be no problem."

Mu Xingsuden knew that Su Xinyi had collected it on the way, but he didn't expect that it was actually Ma Rude's person.

His expression changed again and again, and finally he refrained from lecturing him and kept the enemy's confidants at his side. This was either a lack of heart or a great ability.

His sixth sister doesn't seem to be mean-spirited, but she can handle it.

He'd better shut up for now and watch in secret before talking.

The group of people went out with different expressions. Cao Qing and Mu Xing had already asked for a simple version of the map. Although Mu Xing's ability to draw maps was a bit abstract, fortunately he marked the key points clearly.

Cao Qing then said to the sixth girl: "Young Master, are you going to explore the road first?"

Su Deng watched Cao Qing call Young Master Su Xinyi so smoothly. It seemed that he had done this kind of thing before, and there was a tacit understanding.

"Know the way?" Su Xinyi asked in surprise. It must be Cao Qing's first time coming to Jing'an Mansion.

Cao Qing took out the map drawn by Mu Xing and spread it out for everyone to see. Su Xinyi glanced at the drawing that looked like a child's graffiti, and looked at Mu Xing silently, "When I return to the capital, I will hire a gentleman for you. It seems necessary to learn some painting."

Mu Xing had a dull expression on his face. He relied on his ability to make a living, and he did not make a living by painting.

Cao Qing was very happy. Su Xinyi looked at him and said, "Can you understand this?"

Jing'an Mansion is not like a capital city with clearly defined vertical and horizontal directions. The streets and alleys here are arranged in an orderly manner, and they look particularly free and unrestrained. Those who are not familiar with the place will follow it like a maze.

This was already a headache, and with Mu Xing's soul-painting skills, her mind was now filled with the twists and turns on the map, giving her a headache.

"He marked the key points with me. I generally remember that if I go the wrong way, I can ask passers-by." Cao Qing said.

Su Xinyi nodded, "That's okay. You can take two guards with you. Don't be brave when things happen. We'll talk about it later when we get back."

Cao Qing agreed, turned around and left with the people.

As soon as Cao Qing left, Su Deng looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Shall we leave too?"

"Let's go." Su Xinyi nodded and turned to look at Mu Xing, "lead the way."

Mu Xing walked in front and led the way. Since entering Jing'an Mansion, he has become even more taciturn. He used to say a few words, but now there is no need to speak a word at all.

Su Xinyi didn't care, and followed behind, chatting with Su Deng and Su Qi while walking, observing the surroundings with his eyes.

Along the way, the streets are filled with various restaurants, butcher shops, cake shops, and fish shops. There are also jugglers performing on the street, some telling stories, some performing entertainment, and some playing football with sticks on the streets. Pedestrians would cheer loudly from time to time for the performers, and the theaters one after another were extremely lively.

Not to mention Su Xinyi and Su Qi were all dazzled by it, and they said, "It looks even more lively than the capital city."

When Su Deng heard this, he added, "Liangjiang is an important tax-paying place for the imperial court, and its prosperity is second to none in the country. Businessmen from all over the country come here to sell goods, so it is naturally lively. After all, the capital is at the feet of the emperor, and it cannot be as comfortable as Jing'an Mansion."

That's true.

The group walked through the streets and alleys for a long time before Mu Xing stopped and said, "Turn right ahead into the alley, and there is the horse house in the middle."

Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing and said, "Do you know the people here? Or do they know you?"

Mu Xing paused before saying, "We know him."

Su Xinyi immediately said: "Then you can do whatever you want. Don't follow us. Just don't be discovered by the Ma family."

Mu Xing didn't object. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you on the street outside. There's a restaurant selling pork noodles on the corner over there. I'll go have a bowl of noodles."

Su Xinyi waved her hand, "Go."

Mu Xing turned around and left without any regrets.

Su Qi asked: "Sent him away now? Don't worry, Sixth Sister... Sixth Brother!"

"Mu Xing has betrayed Ma Rude and cannot go back to him. Even if he goes back, can Ma Rude still trust him? Besides, he is a kind of loyal person. Knowing that Ma Rude cannot be saved, he wants to save Ma Rude's son in the future. He left a trace of incense, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness." Su Xinyi said.

Suden said: "So this person is not dull. He is not as dull as he looks."

"Ma Rude has done so many bad things, and Mu Xing is not unaware of it. If he can only choose between saving his life and being a worm in the court, no one with any conscience can choose to follow Ma Rude and continue to perish."

As Ji Ren was talking, he saw Su Xinyi taking them to a small food stall on the street, selling all kinds of miscellaneous food. Su Xinyi and the others sat at the table. It didn't look like a serious restaurant. There will be a menu, so I can only look at the recipes written in red paint on the wooden board, order a few bowls of hot noodle soup, and order a few snacks, which is full to the table.

The vendor's wife brought the food over, with a smile on her face. She was a big customer, so she had a particularly good attitude and greeted them warmly.

Su Xinyi took a sip of the soup first, then immediately extended a thumbs up and praised: "It tastes good. No wonder there are so many people eating in front of your stall. It says on your sign that you have been open for decades. This is really an old stall." .”

When the woman who delivered the food heard this, she said very proudly: "That's right, this is an ancestral craft in our family, and the neighbors here come to our house to eat. We have been doing this for generations, and we live by word of mouth."

Su Xinyi nodded, "That's right, craftsmen are proud of their own skills."

Su Deng and Su Qi watched as Su Xinyi chatted animatedly with the vendor's wife in just a few words. The vendor shouted at her mother-in-law to do something, but she was pushed back. She sat opposite Su Xinyi and chatted happily with her.

"Selling salt? Most of the people who come to our Jing'an Mansion want to sell salt, but it's not easy. This business is about making money, but ordinary people can't do this business."

"Sister-in-law Su, why do you say that? This government sells salt to outsiders, can't we just go and buy it?" Su Xinyi became so excited with the conversation that she knew everyone's name clearly, so she turned around and called her. Sister-in-law Su.

When Mrs. Su heard what Su Xinyi said, she immediately looked around cautiously, and then lowered her voice and said, "Little brother, you haven't been here before, have you?"

"Sister-in-law Su, you are so awesome, can you tell by this?"

Su Shi was so coaxed that she beamed. She was a street food stall, so who would look down on them? There was a young man with an upright appearance who was so harmonious and gentle. Of course, she was very fond of her, so she said: "If you I've never said this before. It's a big business that ordinary people like us can't even imagine. All the salt in Jing'an Prefecture is in the hands of the four major salt merchants. It's hard for others to get a share of the pie. Very."

Su Xinyi looked surprised, "Is this so? The government doesn't care? This is against the rules."

Su said helplessly, "Officials and businessmen are all on the same table, who can take care of it? The price of salt is getting higher year by year, and small vendors like us have the hardest time. Ordinary people can still save some." Eat, we are in need of everything in the restaurant. Salt, if the price continues to rise, I don’t know if this stall can continue to operate.”

Su Xinyi's heart sank, and she said with a worried face, "I heard that there is a big salt merchant named Ma living here. I was thinking about whether I should pay him a visit. It would be good if I could get some salt from him. Ah, otherwise it would be a wasted trip."

As soon as she heard the word "Ma family", Su's face changed slightly and her voice became even lower, "Young master, you can't go to the Ma family. The Ma family is wanted by the government now and has committed a serious matter. People were killed in the capital. Now the Ma family is guarded by the government. A group of women and children in the house can't get out. I think how beautiful it was back then. The Ma family always looked at people with floating eyes when they went out on the street. Back then, they The boy at home even smashed our stall, this family is not easy to get along with."

Su Xinyi's eyes met those of her two brothers. She immediately looked away and said indignantly: "That's really a show of strength. How can you be so arrogant? You are just a businessman, how can you be so arrogant?"

"She has a good relationship with Mr. Yanzheng, and we can't afford to offend him." After Mrs. Su said this, she looked at her husband who was busy, so she stood up and went over to help. Before leaving, she said, "Little Young Master, the Ma family is not a good thing, and no one in the Yanyin family can get it, so don’t worry about it, just do something else."

As soon as Su left, Su Deng looked at the sixth sister and said, "It seems that Ma Rude is not in Ma's house."

Su Xinyi nodded, "I don't know whose idea it was to surround Ma Mansion in the name of a murder case. Was it the local government or the superiors who made the decision?"

"It's not in the name of Yan's case. It seems that His Highness the Prince doesn't want to alert the enemy." Su Qi said.

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Behind Li Ji is Concubine Li. If His Majesty wants to investigate the salt case, Concubine Li must inform her brother."

Suden thought for a moment and then said: "In this case, the people surrounding the Ma family may be Li Ji's people."

Since something happened to Ma Rude, in order to avoid getting into trouble, Li Ji would most likely strike first and kill someone to silence him.

In order to get more information, the two of them followed Su Xinyi from the street to the end of the street, watching her talk to shopkeepers in fancy ways to get information. It wasn't enough to inquire from the restaurant. Later, she went to chat with a beggar on the street, bringing a large bag of food with her. The beggars immediately surrounded her.

When Su Xinyi had finished inquiring, she finally stood up and was about to join her brother who was sitting on the street waiting for her in the distance. When she looked up, she saw someone standing across the street.

Someone who is particularly familiar.

Someone you can recognize even if you turn into ashes.

Shang Junyan!

Shang Junyan stood across the street and thought he was dazzled. Why was Su Xinyi here?

The two looked at each other across the street, but Shang Junyan was the first to stride over. He stood in front of Su Xinyi and stared at her, "Why are you here?"

Su Xinyi immediately became unhappy after hearing his slightly questioning tone, "What Prince Shang said, why can't I be here? Besides, shouldn't I be asking you this? Why are you here? You were here before Didn’t you say you wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy?”

Shang Junyan said with a headache: "Are you here for the salt case? I didn't say it before, this case is a bit dangerous, why are you still here?"

Su Qi, who was talking to Su Deng over there, turned around and saw Shang Junyan, his face changed slightly, and he immediately strode over, pulled Su Xinyi behind him, looked at Shang Junyan and said, "Prince Shang, what a coincidence. Ah, why do I see you here?"
