Su Xinyi returned to the mansion to wait for the two brothers to come back. After waiting for half a day, he hurried over to ask about the situation. Google search reading

Su Deng looked at his sixth sister and said, "Ma Rude did not show up at Yingqu Pavilion, but Su Qi and I have inquired carefully. He did go there before, but we can't find out what he did there."

Su Qi also nodded, "This Ma Rude is indeed cautious and thorough in doing things, and he is very bold. It is not easy to be one of the four major salt merchants. However, Brother Deng and I have found some interesting things. This Yingqu Pavilion should have been a private gathering place for the four major salt merchants, but since Ma Rude was wanted, there has been no gathering here."

Su Xinyi listened to the news, thought about it, and said, "If this is the case, will Yingqu Pavilion have any evidence left by their gatherings?"

"We met Lord Yang on the way back. He will take over this matter. We don't need to take risks again." Su Qi and Yang Jin have also met several times. Because Xinyi did not compete with them, Yang Jin was also very easy to talk to when he saw him.

Su Xinyi was not surprised. Yang Jin was always very conscientious. She thought about it and said, "Then let's wait. Maybe His Highness has other arrangements. Let's not ruin His Highness's layout."

Besides, Shang Junyan is also here. With his assistance to His Highness, the salt permit case will be solved quickly.

As for the fugitive Ma Rude, Jie Zhihui is such a smart man. He will definitely not return empty-handed if he can get in touch with His Highness the Crown Prince this time. It will take a lot of manpower to capture Ma Rude. Jie Zhihui doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of soldiers. He will definitely make another contribution to assist.

That is...

Su Xinyi looked at Su Qi, "Second brother, why didn't I see my eldest brother?"

Didn't Su Yi follow His Highness to the south?

Why didn't he see him?

The two siblings looked at each other. They only remembered that they had an eldest brother at this moment. It was also amazing.

Su Deng was almost laughing to death and lit a candle for Su Yi.

At this time, Su Yi had already reunited with Jie Jinglue. The two were on their way to capture Ma Rude. Su Yi only found out on the way that his sister and brother were both in Jing'an Mansion. He was really upset.

Jie Jinglue intended to marry into the Duke of Qi's Mansion, so of course he had to improve his impression of this future brother-in-law. The two of them got along very happily.

Especially after knowing that Jie Jinglue had helped his sixth sister, Su Yi looked at him and felt that this person was really good, righteous, kind and kind.

In this way, Su Xinyi and the others would be fine for the time being. Anyway, they couldn't come in vain, especially Su Deng and Su Qi knew that Su Xinyi had lived a hard life in the countryside before, so they took her to Jing'an Mansion to eat, drink and have fun all day.

Su Xinyi also found it interesting. In her previous life, she had money but didn't know how to spend it. Not long after she came back from the countryside, she had to get married. After getting married, she was stuck in the quagmire. There was no such a relaxing moment. Now she knows that spending money can really make people happy.

Not to mention the dazzling array of restaurants in Jing'an Prefecture, the delicious food from all over the world can make people linger, the flower array wine place, the fragrant mountain medicine sea, the secluded alleys, the Yanguan singing hall, and the various kinds of Wa Si. One day, she met a wedding procession and watched a wedding ceremony with everyone. Su Xinyi was really eye-opening.

It turns out that there are many happy things in the world, but she didn't know.

After a few days, Su Xinyi finally understood why some people were so happy in this beautiful place, which was really happy.

Su Xinyi bought all kinds of gifts when she saw something suitable, and sent some back to Huaining to share with her clan members, and asked the caravan to pay the money for the delivery and let them send it to the Qiguogong Mansion in the capital.

Su Xinyi hadn't seen it yet, but the gifts were sent back in waves. Whether it was Huaining or the capital, people were very surprised and couldn't help but talk about her several times.

"Tomorrow is Erlang Shen's birthday. Shenbao Temple is very lively. Do you want to go and see?" Su Deng looked at his sixth sister and asked.

Su Xinyi had never participated in such a festival and was quite interested, so she said, "Go."

"Everyone wants to grab the first stick of incense. Do you want to?" Su Qi asked with a smile.

Su Xinyi had never burned the first stick of incense. She didn't believe in gods and Buddhas in her previous life. If there were gods and Buddhas, how could they not pity all living beings and let her live so hard.

But now she believes. If there were no gods and Buddhas, how could she have this life again.

"I want to." Su Xinyi nodded. No matter which Bodhisattva blessed her to come back again, she wanted to burn a few sticks of incense.

"Then we have to stay at Shenbao Temple tonight. There are so many people vying for the first stick of incense at the fifth watch. Only if you live in the temple can you have a chance to grab it." Su Deng said.

None of the three people thought of using their family background and status. Such a day is only interesting if you compete with everyone.

So the three of them went to Shenbao Temple. Unfortunately, they arrived late and there were no extra houses in the temple. They had no choice but to spend a lot of money to stay in a farmhouse outside the temple.

By this day, the surrounding farmhouses were in short supply, and the family they stayed in was paid double the price by Su Deng.

The two small houses were simple but the owner kept them clean and tidy. Su Deng and Su Qi had one room, and Su Xinyi had one room. It was dark when they settled down.

The three decided to go out to find food. There were many food stalls on the roadside near Shenbao Temple. Before they walked in, they could smell the fragrance, which made them feel even more hungry.

The three of them found a food stall selling tung bark noodles and sat down. They ordered a few side dishes. Su Xinyi also dressed up as a man. The three of them sat in a corner eating and drinking and commenting on the food, which was quite fun.

Su Xinyi ate quickly and had a smaller appetite than her two brothers. After she finished eating, her second brother stuffed her with a crystal soap and asked her to eat it slowly.

Su Xinyi ate bit by bit and looked around. There were many people on the street at night. It was common to see a family of four or five people coming out together, with adults and children holding hands. They looked happy.

Before Su Xinyi finished a cold drink, she saw a figure flashing across the street corner. She looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it suddenly.

Su Xinyi frowned and lowered her eyes to think. Who was it?

She looked a little familiar. It must be someone she knew, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.

There are very few acquaintances you can meet in such a place. If they are not acquaintances in Jing'an Prefecture, they can only be in Huaining or the capital...

Thinking of the capital, Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. Yes, that back figure, Shi Zhongqian!

Su Xinyi stood up suddenly, which scared Su Deng and Su Qi. They also stood up and looked at her, and asked almost at the same time, "What's wrong?"

"I saw Shi Zhongqian!"

"What?" Su Qi's face changed slightly, "Why is he here? Did I see it wrong?"

"No!" Su Xinyi said with certainty, "He must be here for something strange, is it for Ma Rude? No, I have to catch up and see."

Su Xinyi left as soon as she said she would. Su Deng could catch up with her because of his martial arts, but Su Qi would be slower, after all, his kung fu was not as good as theirs.

Su Xinyi ran a few steps, then turned back to look at his second brother, "Second brother, go call Mu Xing and Cao Qing."

Su Qi nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible, you guys be careful."

The three of them acted separately, Su Xinyi and Su Deng passed through the crowd and chased after Shi Zhongqian in the street where he disappeared before, but the area around Shenbao Temple was all open roads, and tomorrow was Erlang Shen's birthday, so many people came to grab the first incense stick, and tonight was even more crowded.

Su Xinyi and Su Deng chased for two streets, but didn't catch up with him. Su Deng looked at Su Xinyi, "This place is too big, there are too many people, it's too difficult to find someone. Don't worry, let's look for him slowly. Since he came here, he will definitely not leave easily."

Su Xinyi nodded and explained the relationship between Shi Zhongqian and Ma Rude. Su Deng's face became even uglier, "If that's the case, your guess should be right. Shi Zhongqian came all the way south, he must not be here for sightseeing. Now he can't find Ma Rude everywhere, maybe he can find a way out from Shi Zhongqian."

Su Xinyi thought so too, so she wanted to chase him immediately before.

Looking around, there were crowds of people, so it was understandable that she lost the person. There were too many people here, and it was Erlangshen's birthday tomorrow. In order to welcome tomorrow's grand event, the government sent people to display the items made by the official workshop and the calligraphy bureau for tourists to play with.

It was already night when Su Xinyi and the others arrived, so they didn't catch up with the grand event of the daytime band welcoming these items to the temple. However, there were a lot of people who came to watch, and many of them came from the surrounding prefectures and counties. They would definitely not go back that day, and would leave after the grand event tomorrow. Therefore, there were a lot of people around Shenbao Temple tonight.

It was also the first time that Su Xinyi saw so many people. It can't be said that it was crowded, but it was almost the same.

She was sweating all over and turned to look at Su Deng, "Brother Deng, this won't work. Let's go to the front of the temple and wait for people to come."

Su Deng was also sweating all over. He wiped his sweat and nodded, "Okay, if you really come to find Ma Rude, you can meet in a place like this. It's estimated that it won't be far from the Taoist temple. Let's go to the front of the temple and find a place to hide."

The two reached a consensus, walked around and returned to the front of the temple, and found a hidden place to hide.

Su Deng and Shi Zhongqian had never met before. After looking around, he went out and brought back two glasses of cold drinks. Su Xinyi took them and drank them in one gulp. Only then did she feel much better.

Su Deng went to return the cups and brought back a small bag of snacks made of melon, white peach and water pear for Su Xinyi. They were poured with sweet and sour juice and tasted crisp and delicious. It was so refreshing.

After one gulp, Su Xinyi's somewhat irritable mood was strangely soothed.

Su Deng took the opportunity to ask Su Xinyi about Shi Zhongqian's appearance. Su Xinyi thought about it and described it carefully. At the end, she added, "When I attacked Qin Guogong's Mansion, I pressed Shi Zhongqian to the ground and found a small black mole on his earlobe."

Su Deng's mouth twitched, and he smiled and teased her, "I heard Su Qi say that you are so fierce, be careful not to get married in the future."

Su Xinyi said, "What's the fun of getting married? I don't want to get married."

Will she step on the same pit twice?

Su Deng was amused. The sixth sister was interesting, but there was no girl who would not marry. She was just being stubborn now, so he didn't take it seriously.

The two of them soon waited for Su Qi, Mu Xing and Cao Qing to come over, and they squatted in a corner to discuss the next move.

Cao Qing knew Shi Zhongqian, so he said, "Mu Xing and I will go to the area behind Shenbao Temple to look for it. Let's split in the middle, so it will be much easier."

It was like comparing Shenbao Temple to a big watermelon, splitting it in half with a knife, and they would split it in half to look for people.

With so many people on hand, this was the only way. Su Xinyi looked at Su Deng and Su Qi, "Brother Deng, you go with the second brother. The second brother knows Shi Zhongqian. I'll go to the temple to take a look. We'll meet up in an hour, whether we find him or not."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They all knew Su Xinyi's ability. If she just walked around the temple, it wouldn't be too dangerous. It was feasible.

Several people acted separately. Su Xinyi followed the crowd directly into the Shenbao Temple. There were two flagpoles in front of the main hall, which were for the artists who were going to perform tomorrow.

Su Xinyi took a look at the two flagpoles and had no interest. The statue of Erlang Zhenjun was enshrined in the main hall. She didn't go in, but walked around the main hall to the back hall.

The accommodation provided by Shenbao Temple for pilgrims is all in the backyard. The further back you go, the quieter it is. Only pilgrims who live here will come and go.

Su Xinyi walked in the night cover, looking around with a pair of eyes, but unfortunately she didn't find anything. When she reached a pavilion, her feet were sore from walking, so she sat on a stone bench to rest for a while. She leaned against the stone pillar and was covered by the night. If she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't notice her presence.

After Su Xinyi walked this way, a general map of Shenbao Temple had already appeared in her mind. If she couldn't find anyone, she could only risk going to the house where the pilgrims stayed to explore.

As she was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. She had been hunting for many years and had an almost weird intuition. She subconsciously shrank her figure, turned her wrist and grabbed a kite on the edge of the stone pavilion, turned over and pressed against the wall under the stone foundation.

In a flash, almost as Su Xinyi hid, someone walked in. From the sound of footsteps, it was two people.

One had light footsteps, and the other had slightly heavy footsteps. Su Xinyi slowed down her breathing and shrank under the stone foundation without moving.

"Is it done?"

Su Xinyi heard someone speak a little urgently.

"How can it be so easy? It's really weird. Why are the roads blocked everywhere now? It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to leave Jing'an Mansion." Another person spoke in a very suppressed tone.

"Master Li won't help?"

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when she heard this. Master Li... Isn't the one who can be called Master Li here Li Ji?

"Hehe, everything is easy to talk about when you take the money, but you turn your face and don't recognize people after taking the money, dog official!"

"What should we do then?"

"Isn't the former master from the capital here? Maybe he has a way. As long as we send people out of Jing'an Mansion, our brothers can get 100,000 taels of silver. This deal must be done."

Su Xinyi was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that these two people were not Ma Rude's guards, but people he hired at a high price to open the way.

And when they mentioned Shi Zhongqian, Su Xinyi held her temper and didn't take action. Moreover, she didn't know the depth of the two people, and it might not be possible to take them all down in a one-on-two fight.

The people in the stone pavilion stopped talking and just sat there. Su Xinyi felt that they might be waiting for her to look for Shi Zhongqian who was crazy!

Su Xinyi's legs were numb from squatting, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of making a sound to alarm the two.

Time seemed to pass very slowly all of a sudden. For some reason, the pedestrians seemed to avoid the location of the stone pavilion. Su Xinyi adjusted slightly and gradually heard footsteps approaching.

She calculated the time. It was almost an hour. If she didn't go out to meet her eldest brother and the others, she didn't know if they would come in to look for someone. If she moved too much, she would definitely be discovered by Ma Rude's people, which would be bad.

Su Xinyi listened carefully to the sounds around her. In addition to the slowly approaching footsteps, she also heard the sound of leaves sliding.

Hmm?

Su Xinyi looked sideways to see the position on her left.

The stone pavilion is octagonal, and the column base of this octagonal stone pavilion is also octagonal. From her side, she couldn't see if there was anyone in the corner next to it.

She had a bad feeling. The two people in the stone pavilion were probably tired of waiting and started chatting again. They didn't mention Ma Rude anymore, but talked about all sorts of things, mixed with vulgar slang, which sounded unpleasant.

Su Xinyi quietly approached the stone wall on the left by the sound of their conversation. When she reached the corner, Su Xinyi suddenly poked her head out, but she didn't expect a dagger next to her to stab her with a cold light.

She immediately reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist, pressed it hard against the stone wall, and then looked up and saw a familiar face under the moonlight.

His Royal Highness?

Yan Junchu also looked at Su Xinyi in surprise. He could meet her here?

The two of them fought silently, and they didn't alarm the people in the pavilion at this time. The two were still talking, probably because the person they were waiting for was not coming, and their tone became more and more anxious.

Yan Junchu and Su Xinyi looked at each other and were speechless. Su Xinyi tiptoed to Yan Junchu's side and then let go of the hand holding his wrist, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She thought it was an enemy before, so she used too much force. She wondered if the prince's wrist would be blue.

Yan Junchu calmly withdrew his arm, not wanting to alarm the people in the pavilion. The two of them stared at each other.

It was very awkward.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's hands and feet, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Well, he knew now. Although Su Xinyi didn't look tall and mighty, he was indeed very strong.

The two of them standing against the wall looked a little stupid. Su Xinyi tried not to look at the prince, and she only hoped that Shi Zhongqian would show up quickly.

Maybe good luck comes after bad luck. The footsteps that Su Xinyi heard before sounded again at some point, not hurried or slow, and soon arrived at the stone pavilion.

Su Xinyi listened to the noise above and heard the two people who had asked, "Mr. Shi?"

Sure enough, Shi Zhongqian's voice rang out, "It's me, where's Ma Rude?"

"Mr. Shi is so impressive that he made us wait so long. Now you are not the prince of a duke's mansion, why are you putting on airs?"

This was a bit harsh, but Su Xinyi did not hear Shi Zhongqian getting angry, only heard his voice coming steadily, "Stop talking nonsense, no matter what my identity is, I am better than you. If you want to make money, lead the way quickly."

"Okay, let's go now. The one who pays is the boss, and we brothers can't afford to offend him." The other one said in a weird tone, but he did not say any more nonsense and walked away.

Su Xinyi chased after him without thinking, and after walking two steps, she remembered that there was also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she turned around and saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had followed. She whispered, "Your Highness, I'll follow you. Where's Lord Yang? Ask him to catch the thief."

Yan Junchu stared at Su Xinyi in the moonlight. The concern in her eyes was very natural, as if she always cared about his safety. This feeling came again, just like when she was in the hunting ground and on the polo field, wherever there was danger, Su Xinyi seemed to naturally put his safety first.

"Yang Jin is setting an ambush in front, let's just follow him." Yan Junchu said with a smile.

Su Xinyi thought so too. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared here, and Yang Jin must be around, so she nodded, "Then let's chase him."

The three people in front were not walking very fast, and they would look back from time to time, so Su Xinyi didn't follow closely, for fear of alerting the enemy.

As the distance was pulled away, they didn't have to be so cautious when talking. Su Xinyi couldn't help asking, "Why is His Highness in the pavilion?"

Yan Junchu was silent for a moment, then said, "Yang Jin thought I was in the way, so he asked me to go to the pavilion to cool off. As a result, you arrived just as I arrived. I heard someone coming, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid without seeing who it was."

Okay, there's no need to say the rest.

Su Xinyi's mouth twitched. What kind of luck is this.

The two chatted and followed the three people into the courtyard where the pilgrims lived. They saw them push open a courtyard door at the corner and walk in.

Su Xinyi observed the surrounding terrain and wondered if he would be discovered if he climbed onto the roof to eavesdrop.

Remembering the night cat raised by Shenbao Temple that he had met on the road before, Su Xinyi turned around and ran back.

Yan Junchu looked at her swift and fiery figure, and waited in silence. Soon he saw her coming back with a cat in her arms, and then watched her stroll along the wall, reach out and touch the cat's head twice, and then throw it up with both hands. The night cat turned over in mid-air and landed on the tiles on the roof, making a slight sound.

Su Xinyi listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a slight movement on the roof. It seemed that someone was guarding it. She couldn't go up to the roof rashly, so she had to retreat quietly.

Yan Junchu watched her throw the cat very skillfully, and when she came back, he asked: "How did you come up with this idea?"

Su Xinyi said: "The wild cat's movements are light, cautious by nature, and it runs fast. It won't hurt it to use it to explore the way. If it's a puppy, it won't work. It will fight with people on the roof."

Yan Junchu saw that her eyes were still staring at the house to think of a way. She always had a tenacity and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"There is a small passage behind the house, which can accommodate one person standing sideways. Let's go and take a look?" Yan Junchu looked at her and said.

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. She nodded immediately and said, "Let's go."

She really wanted to know what Shi Zhongqian was doing here. She always felt that it was not simple. Could it be that he came for the eldest sister and her daughter?
