Chapter 121 121: Can I also meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?
Su Xinyi returned to the mansion and waited for the two brothers to come back. After waiting for a long time before they came back, she hurried over to ask about the situation.
Su Deng looked at the sixth younger sister and said, "Ma Rude didn't show up at Yingqu Pavilion, but I have inquired carefully with Su Qi, and he has indeed been there before, but I can't find out what he went there for."
Su Qi also nodded, "This Ma Rude is really cautious and thorough in his work, and he is also very bold. It is not easy to become one of the four major salt merchants. However, Brother Deng and I have also found some interesting things. This Yingqu The Pavilion used to be the place where the four major salt merchants met privately, but since Marud was wanted, there has been no gathering here."
After listening to the news, Su Xinyi thought for a while before saying, "If that's the case, will Yingqu Pavilion have any evidence left by their gathering?"
"We met Mr. Yang on the way back. He will take over this matter. We don't need to take any more risks." Su Qi and Yang Jin have also met several times, because Xin Yi didn't compete with them. Jin is also easy to talk to when he sees him.
Su Xinyi didn't feel too surprised, Yang Jin was always very conscientious, she thought for a while and said: "Then let's wait, maybe His Highness has other arrangements, let's not spoil His Highness's layout."
Moreover, Shang Junyan is also here, and with his assistance, the case of Yan Yin will be clarified very quickly.
As for Ma Rude who is on the run, someone who is so smart as the Commander will be able to connect with His Royal Highness this time, and he will definitely not return empty-handed. It will take a lot of manpower to capture Marude, and the Commander does not have many other things. Definitely make another contribution.
Just ...
Su Xinyi looked at Su Qi, "Second Brother, why didn't you see Big Brother?"
Didn't Su Yi go south with His Highness?
Why didn't I see anyone?
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other in blank dismay, only now did they remember that there was a big brother coming, who was also amazing.
Su Deng was dying of laughter, lighting a candle for Su Yi.
At this time, Su Yi had already met with Xie Jinglue, and the two were leading people on the way to round up Ma Rude. Su Yi only found out that his younger sister and younger brother were both in Jing'an Mansion on the way, and his mood was really hard to calm down.
Xie Jinglue intends to marry the Duke of Qi, so of course he has to build a good impression in front of this future brother-in-law, it is a pleasure for the two to get along.
Especially knowing that Xiejinglue still has a helping hand for the sixth younger sister, Su Yi looked at him and felt that this person is really nice, righteous, kind and benevolent.
In this way, Su Xinyi and the others will be fine for the time being, and they can't come in vain anyway, especially Su Deng and Su Qi knew that Su Xinyi had a hard life in the countryside before, so they took her to eat, drink and have fun in Jing'an Mansion all day long.
Su Xinyi also finds it interesting. In her previous life, she had money but didn't know how to spend it. She had to marry soon after she came back from the countryside. After getting married, she fell into a quagmire. How can there be such a relaxing moment? Now she knows how to spend money. It can really make people happy.
Not to mention the dazzling variety of restaurants in Jing'an Mansion, all kinds of delicacies from all over the world can make people linger and forget to return. One day, I met a wedding procession, followed everyone to watch a wedding ceremony, and Su Xinyi was really eye-opening.
It turns out that there are many, many happy things in the world, but she doesn't know them.
After a few days like this, Su Xinyi finally understood why someone was so happy in this beautiful fireworks field, it really made me happy.
Su Xinyi bought all kinds of miscellaneous gifts when he saw the right ones, and sent some of them back to Huaining to share among the clan, and some of them directly asked the caravan to pay for the entrusted money, and asked them to send it to the Duke of Qi in the capital.
People from Su Xinyi hadn't seen it yet, but gifts were sent back one after another. People in Huaining and Beijing were all very pleasantly surprised, and they couldn't help but talk about her several times.
"Tomorrow is the birthday of Erlang God, and the Shenbao Temple is very lively, do you want to go and see it?" Su Deng looked at the sixth sister and asked.
Su Xinyi, who had never participated in this kind of festival, was quite interested, so she said, "Go."
"Everyone wants to rush to burn 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 she not have mercy on sentient beings and make her live so hard.
But now she believed it, if there were no gods and Buddhas, how could she have this life again.
"I think." Su Xinyi nodded, no matter which bodhisattva blesses her to do it again, she would like to burn some incense.
"Then we have to live in Shenbao Temple tonight. There are so many people robbing the first incense stick in the fifth watch, and only those who live in the temple can have a chance to grab it." Su Deng said.
None of the three of them thought of taking advantage of their family status, such a day is only interesting if they grab it with everyone.
So the three of them went to Shenbao Temple, but unfortunately, they came late, and there were no more houses in the temple, so they had no choice but to spend a lot of money to borrow a night in a farmhouse outside the temple.
By this day, the surrounding farmhouses were also in short supply, and the family they borrowed was bought by Su Deng at double the price.
There are two huts, although simple, but the owner's house is clean and tidy. Su Deng and Su Qi share one, and Su Xinyi has one by himself. It will be dark when they settle down.
The three of them decided to go out for food. There were also many food stalls on the side of the road near Shenbao Temple. Before they walked in, the aroma hit them, making people feel empty in their stomachs.
The three of them sat down at a food stall selling braised noodles with paulownia skin, and ordered a few side dishes. Su Xinyi also dressed up as a man, and the three of them sat in the corner to eat, drink, and bring comments, which was another bit of fun.
Su Xinyi ate fast, and her appetite was smaller than that of the two elder brothers. After eating, the second elder brother stuffed her with a glass of crystal soap for her to eat and play slowly.
Su Xinyi ate every bite, and looked around. There were many people walking on the street at night when the lights were brightly lit. It was common for a family of four or five to come out together. Adults and children held hands. Happy.
Su Xinyi hadn't finished his cold drink when he saw a figure flash past on the opposite street corner. He was a little familiar, but he suddenly couldn't remember it.
Su Xinyi frowned and lowered her eyes in thought. Who is it?
A little familiar, it must be someone I know, but I can't remember who it is for a while.
There are very few acquaintances that can be met in this kind of place, if they are not acquaintances in Jing'an Mansion, they can only be in Huaining or the capital...
Thinking of the capital, Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, yes, that back view, Shi Zhongqian!
Su Xinyi stood up abruptly, startling Su Deng and Su Qi, and they both 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? Could it be a mistake?"
"No!" Su Xinyi said with certainty, "It must be weird for him to come here. Could it be because of Ma Rude? No, I have to catch up and see."
Su Xinyi left as soon as he said, Su Deng could catch up with martial arts, but Su Qi had to be slower, after all his kung fu was not as good as the two of them.
Su Xinyi ran a few steps, then turned back to look at the second brother, "Second brother, go and call Mu Xing and Cao Qing."
Su Qi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible, you all pay attention to safety."
The three of them split up, Su Xinyi and Su Deng went through the crowd, and chased towards the street where Shi Zhongqian disappeared before, but there are all open avenues near Shenbao Temple, and tomorrow is the birthday of Erlang God, who came to grab the first pillar of incense There are a lot of people, and it is even more crowded tonight.
Su Xinyi and Su Deng chased for two streets, but they didn't catch anyone. Su Deng looked at Su Xinyi, "This place is too big and there are so many people, it's too difficult to find someone. Don't worry, let's look slowly. Since he is here, he will definitely not leave easily."
Su Xinyi nodded, and told about the relationship between Shi Zhongqian and Ma Rude, Su Deng's face became even more ugly, "If so, your guess should be right, Shi Zhongqian traveled thousands of miles south, he must not be traveling in mountains and rivers, now I searched everywhere for Ma Rude but couldn't find it, maybe I can find a hole in Shi Zhongqian."
Su Xinyi thought the same way, so she was about to chase someone before.
Looking up at the crowds of people, there is nothing wrong with chasing people away, there are too many people here, and it will be the birthday of Erlang God tomorrow, and in order to welcome tomorrow's grand event, today the government sent people to make official workshops and book art bureaus. Items for tourists to play are placed out.
It was already night when Su Xinyi and others arrived, so they missed the grand occasion when the band played to welcome these items to the temple during the day, but there were a lot of people who came to watch, many of them came here specially from surrounding counties, I will definitely not go back that day, and I will not leave until after the grand event tomorrow, so there are extraordinarily many people around Jinbo Temple tonight.
It was also the first time for Su Xinyi to see so many people. It can't be said that it was crowded, but it was almost the same.
She broke out in sweat, and turned to look at Su Deng, "Brother Deng, this won't work, let's go to Guanqian and wait for someone to come."
Su Deng was also covered in sweat. After wiping off his sweat, he nodded, "Okay, if you really come to see Marud, make an appointment to meet in this kind of place. It is estimated that it will not be far away from the Taoist temple. Let's go to the temple to find someone The place is cats."
The two reached a consensus, went around and returned to the temple, and found a hidden place to hide.
Su Deng and Shi Zhongqian had never met before, so after looking around, he went out and brought back two cups of cold drinks. Su Xinyi took them and downed them in one gulp, and felt much more comfortable.
Su Deng went to return the cup, and brought back a small bag of snacks made of melon, white peach, and pear for Su Xinyi. They were poured with sweet and sour juice. They tasted crisp and delicious, which was very refreshing.
After taking one bite, Su Xinyi's agitated mood was strangely soothed.
Su Deng took the opportunity to ask Su Xinyi about Shi Zhongqian's appearance. Su Xinyi carefully described it after thinking about it, and finally added a sentence, "When I hit the Duke of Qin's mansion, when I pressed Shi Zhongqian to the ground, I found that there was a hole on his earlobe. A little mole."
The corner of Su Deng's mouth twitched, and he teased her with a smile, "I heard Su Qi said that you are so fierce, be careful that you won't get married in the future."
Su Xinyi said, "What's the fun in being married, I don't want to marry."
Will she step on the same pit twice?
Su Deng was happy, and the sixth sister was interesting, but there was no one in the daughter's family who didn't marry, and now it was just a stubborn mouth, and he didn't take it to heart.
The two soon waited for Su Qi, Mu Xing and Cao Qing to come over, and they called them 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 separate in the middle, it will be much easier this way."
It's like comparing Shenbo Temple to a big watermelon, cut it in half with a knife, and they will find someone in half.
There are only so many people in hand, so I can only do this. Su Xinyi looked at Su Deng and Su Qi, "Brother Deng, you are with the second brother. The second brother knows Shi Zhongqian. I will go to the temple to have a look. After an hour, no matter whether you can find him or not." When you find someone, you have to join them."
Everyone nodded in agreement, they all knew about Su Xinyi's ability, if they just walked around the temple, it wouldn't be too dangerous, it was feasible.
Several people moved separately, and Su Xinyi followed the crowd directly into Shenbao Temple. There were two flag poles erected in front of the main hall, which were used by the artists who were going to perform tomorrow.
Su Xinyi glanced at the two flag poles and was not interested. The statue of Zhenjun Erlang was enshrined in the main hall. She didn't go in, but walked around the main hall to the house in the back hall.
The residences provided by Shenbao Temple for pilgrims are all in the backyard, and the further you go, the cleaner it will be. Only the pilgrims who live here will walk back and forth.
Su Xinyi walked in it under the cover of night, his eyes kept looking around, but unfortunately he found nothing.When she came to a mountain pavilion, her feet were sore from walking, so she sat on a stone bench to rest for a while, leaning on the stone pillar and covered by the night, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't find her presence.
Su Xinyi walked this time, and a general map of Shenbao Temple appeared in his mind. If he couldn't find anyone, he could only venture to the house of the pilgrim who stayed overnight to explore.
Thinking about this in her heart, she suddenly heard slight footsteps. She had been hunting for many years, and she had an almost weird intuition. base of the wall.
In an instant, almost as soon as Su Xinyi hid, someone walked in, and the sound of footsteps was two people.
One person's footsteps were light, and the other person's footsteps were a little heavy. Su Xinyi slowed down her breathing and huddled under the stone foundation without moving.
"Is it done?"
Su Xinyi heard a man speak urgently.
"How could it be so easy? It's really crazy. Why are roads closed everywhere now? It's as difficult as heaven to get out of Jing'an Mansion." Another person said in a very depressed tone.
"Master Li won't help?"
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence, Master Li... Isn't it Li Ji who can be called Master Li here?
"Heh, it's easy to say anything when you get the money, but you won't recognize anyone if you take the money, you dog official!"
"What should I do?"
"Didn't the former son of the capital come here? Maybe he has a way. As long as he is sent out of Jing'an Mansion, our brothers can get 10 taels of silver. This deal can be done no matter what."
Su Xinyi was taken aback when he heard this, feeling that these two people were not Ma Rude's guards, but people he paid a lot of money to open the way.
And when they mentioned Shi Zhongqian, Su Xinyi held back his temper and didn't do anything, and she didn't know the depth of the two of them, so one-on-two might not be able to win all of them.
The people in the stone pavilion stopped talking, just sitting like this, Su Xinyi felt that maybe they were waiting for him to find Shi Zhongqian who went crazy!
Su Xinyi's legs were numb when he squatted, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of making a noise and disturbing the two of them.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and the passers-by didn't know what was going on, and seemed to avoid the location of the stone pavilion. Su Xinyi adjusted slightly, and gradually heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
She counted the time, it was almost an hour, if she didn't go out to meet her elder brother and the others, she wondered if a few people would come in to find someone, if she moved too much, they would definitely be discovered by Marud's people, that would be bad.
Su Xinyi's ears carefully listened to the sounds around her. Apart from the approaching footsteps, she also heard the sound of leaves sliding.
Ok?
Su Xinyi looked sideways at the position on her left.
The stone pavilion is divided into octagons, and the plinth of this octagonal stone pavilion is also octagonal. From her side, it is impossible to see if there is anyone in the corner next to it.
She had a bad premonition. At this time, the two people in the stone pavilion probably got impatient for waiting, and they started chatting again. They didn't mention Marud's matter anymore. Instead, they talked nonsense, mixed with this vulgar Slang, which sounds unpleasant.
Taking advantage of their voices, Su Xinyi quietly approached the stone wall on the left, and when he reached the corner, Su Xinyi suddenly raised his head, not expecting a dagger next to him to stab him with a cold light.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and pressed it hard against the stone wall. Only then did she look up, and saw a familiar face under the moonlight.
Your Royal Highness?
Yan Junchu also looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, could he meet her here?
The two fought in silence, and did not disturb the people in the pavilion at this time. The two were still talking, probably because the people who were waiting had not come for a long time, and their tone became more and more anxious.
Yan Junchu and Su Xinyi's eyes met and they were speechless. Su Xinyi tiptoed to Yan Junchu's side, and then put down the hand that was holding his wrist, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She thought it was an enemy before, so she used a bit too much force. She wondered if His Royal Highness's wrist would be bruised.
Yan Junchu retracted his arm calmly, not to disturb the people in the pavilion, and the two stared at each other.
It's embarrassing.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's lack of space for his hands and feet, and the corners of his mouth curled up, well, he knew now, even though Su Xinyi didn't look tall and mighty, he was indeed very strong.
The two of them stood against the wall looking a little stupid, Su Xinyi tried not to look at the prince, and only hoped that Shi Zhongqian would show up soon.
Maybe good luck came after bad luck, the footsteps that Su Xinyi heard before did not know when they sounded again, and they arrived at Shiting very quickly.
Su Xinyi listened attentively to the movement above, and heard the two people before him ask: "Mr. Shi?"
Sure enough, Shi Zhongqian's voice sounded, "It's me, where is Ma Rude?"
"Young master Shi is really imposing, let us wait. Now you are not the son of the Duke's mansion, what kind of air are you putting on?"
These words were a bit harsh, but Su Xinyi didn't hear Shi Zhongqian's anger, only heard his steady voice, "Stop talking nonsense, no matter who I am, I'm better than you. If you want to make money, just lead the way swiftly. "
"Okay, let's go now. The one who pays is the uncle, and we brothers can't afford to mess with it." The other one said eccentrically, but he really didn't talk nonsense, and walked away.
Su Xinyi chased after him without even thinking about it. After walking two steps, he remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince was still there. She turned her head and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was also following her. Where is Master Yang? Ask him to catch the thief."
Yan Junchu stared at Su Xinyi under 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 or the polo field. Su Xinyi seemed to naturally put his safety first.
"Yang Jin set up an ambush, let's follow." Yan Junchu said with a smile.
Su Xinyi thought so too, since His Royal Highness appeared here, Yang Jin must be around, so she nodded, "Then let's catch up."
The three people in front didn't walk very fast, and if they didn't, they would look back, so Su Xinyi didn't follow closely, for fear of being alarmed.
Once the distance is widened, there is no need to be so cautious when speaking, Su Xinyi couldn't help asking: "Why is Your Highness at the pavilion?"
Yan Junchu was silent for a while, and then said: "Yang Jin thought I was in the way, and asked me to go to the pavilion to enjoy the cool air, but you arrived right after I arrived. I heard someone coming, so I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid before I saw who it was. up."
That's fine, there's no need to say anything later.
The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, what kind of luck was this.
The two chatted and followed the three of them into the courtyard where the pilgrims lived, and saw them push open a courtyard door in the corner and go in.
Su Xinyi observed the surrounding terrain, wondering if he would be found if he went up to the roof to eavesdrop.
Thinking of meeting the night cat kept by Shenbao Temple on the road before, Su Xinyi turned around and ran back.
Yan Junchu looked at her fiery figure, and waited silently at the spot, and soon saw her come back with a cat in her arms, then watched her walk past the wall, reached out to touch the cat's head twice, and then Throwing his hands up, the night cat turned over in mid-air and landed on the tiles of 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 him, and he couldn't go up to the roof rashly, so he had to retreat quietly.
Yan Junchu saw that she was very skillful in throwing cats, and when she came back, he asked, "How did you come up with this method?"
Su Xinyi said: "The wild cat moves lightly, is cautious by nature, and runs fast. It won't hurt it if you use it to explore the way. If you change to a puppy, it won't work, and you can't bite people on the roof."
Yan Junchu looked at her eyes and still stared at the house trying to figure out a way. She always has a tenacity in her body, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal.
"There is a small passage behind the house, which can accommodate a person standing sideways and walking together. Let's go and have a look?" Yan Junchu looked at her and said.
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to turn around, so he nodded immediately, "Go."
She really wanted to know what Shi Zhongqian was doing here. She always felt that it was not easy. Could it be that he was here for the eldest sister, mother and daughter?
Here are [-] words, my little cuties, it’s the end of the month, please ask for a monthly ticket, thank you for your support.
(End of this chapter)
Su Xinyi returned to the mansion and waited for the two brothers to come back. After waiting for a long time before they came back, she hurried over to ask about the situation.
Su Deng looked at the sixth younger sister and said, "Ma Rude didn't show up at Yingqu Pavilion, but I have inquired carefully with Su Qi, and he has indeed been there before, but I can't find out what he went there for."
Su Qi also nodded, "This Ma Rude is really cautious and thorough in his work, and he is also very bold. It is not easy to become one of the four major salt merchants. However, Brother Deng and I have also found some interesting things. This Yingqu The Pavilion used to be the place where the four major salt merchants met privately, but since Marud was wanted, there has been no gathering here."
After listening to the news, Su Xinyi thought for a while before saying, "If that's the case, will Yingqu Pavilion have any evidence left by their gathering?"
"We met Mr. Yang on the way back. He will take over this matter. We don't need to take any more risks." Su Qi and Yang Jin have also met several times, because Xin Yi didn't compete with them. Jin is also easy to talk to when he sees him.
Su Xinyi didn't feel too surprised, Yang Jin was always very conscientious, she thought for a while and said: "Then let's wait, maybe His Highness has other arrangements, let's not spoil His Highness's layout."
Moreover, Shang Junyan is also here, and with his assistance, the case of Yan Yin will be clarified very quickly.
As for Ma Rude who is on the run, someone who is so smart as the Commander will be able to connect with His Royal Highness this time, and he will definitely not return empty-handed. It will take a lot of manpower to capture Marude, and the Commander does not have many other things. Definitely make another contribution.
Just ...
Su Xinyi looked at Su Qi, "Second Brother, why didn't you see Big Brother?"
Didn't Su Yi go south with His Highness?
Why didn't I see anyone?
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other in blank dismay, only now did they remember that there was a big brother coming, who was also amazing.
Su Deng was dying of laughter, lighting a candle for Su Yi.
At this time, Su Yi had already met with Xie Jinglue, and the two were leading people on the way to round up Ma Rude. Su Yi only found out that his younger sister and younger brother were both in Jing'an Mansion on the way, and his mood was really hard to calm down.
Xie Jinglue intends to marry the Duke of Qi, so of course he has to build a good impression in front of this future brother-in-law, it is a pleasure for the two to get along.
Especially knowing that Xiejinglue still has a helping hand for the sixth younger sister, Su Yi looked at him and felt that this person is really nice, righteous, kind and benevolent.
In this way, Su Xinyi and the others will be fine for the time being, and they can't come in vain anyway, especially Su Deng and Su Qi knew that Su Xinyi had a hard life in the countryside before, so they took her to eat, drink and have fun in Jing'an Mansion all day long.
Su Xinyi also finds it interesting. In her previous life, she had money but didn't know how to spend it. She had to marry soon after she came back from the countryside. After getting married, she fell into a quagmire. How can there be such a relaxing moment? Now she knows how to spend money. It can really make people happy.

It turns out that there are many, many happy things in the world, but she doesn't know them.
After a few days like this, Su Xinyi finally understood why someone was so happy in this beautiful fireworks field, it really made me happy.
Su Xinyi bought all kinds of miscellaneous gifts when he saw the right ones, and sent some of them back to Huaining to share among the clan, and some of them directly asked the caravan to pay for the entrusted money, and asked them to send it to the Duke of Qi in the capital.
People from Su Xinyi hadn't seen it yet, but gifts were sent back one after another. People in Huaining and Beijing were all very pleasantly surprised, and they couldn't help but talk about her several times.
"Tomorrow is the birthday of Erlang God, and the Shenbao Temple is very lively, do you want to go and see it?" Su Deng looked at the sixth sister and asked.
Su Xinyi, who had never participated in this kind of festival, was quite interested, so she said, "Go."
"Everyone wants to rush to burn 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 she not have mercy on sentient beings and make her live so hard.
But now she believed it, if there were no gods and Buddhas, how could she have this life again.
"I think." Su Xinyi nodded, no matter which bodhisattva blesses her to do it again, she would like to burn some incense.
"Then we have to live in Shenbao Temple tonight. There are so many people robbing the first incense stick in the fifth watch, and only those who live in the temple can have a chance to grab it." Su Deng said.
None of the three of them thought of taking advantage of their family status, such a day is only interesting if they grab it with everyone.
So the three of them went to Shenbao Temple, but unfortunately, they came late, and there were no more houses in the temple, so they had no choice but to spend a lot of money to borrow a night in a farmhouse outside the temple.
By this day, the surrounding farmhouses were also in short supply, and the family they borrowed was bought by Su Deng at double the price.
There are two huts, although simple, but the owner's house is clean and tidy. Su Deng and Su Qi share one, and Su Xinyi has one by himself. It will be dark when they settle down.

Su Xinyi ran a few steps, then turned back to look at the second brother, "Second brother, go and call Mu Xing and Cao Qing."
Su Qi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible, you all pay attention to safety."
The three of them split up, Su Xinyi and Su Deng went through the crowd, and chased towards the street where Shi Zhongqian disappeared before, but there are all open avenues near Shenbao Temple, and tomorrow is the birthday of Erlang God, who came to grab the first pillar of incense There are a lot of people, and it is even more crowded tonight.
Su Xinyi and Su Deng chased for two streets, but they didn't catch anyone. Su Deng looked at Su Xinyi, "This place is too big and there are so many people, it's too difficult to find someone. Don't worry, let's look slowly. Since he is here, he will definitely not leave easily."

Su Xinyi thought the same way, so she was about to chase someone before.
Looking up at the crowds of people, there is nothing wrong with chasing people away, there are too many people here, and it will be the birthday of Erlang God tomorrow, and in order to welcome tomorrow's grand event, today the government sent people to make official workshops and book art bureaus. Items for tourists to play are placed out.
It was already night when Su Xinyi and others arrived, so they missed the grand occasion when the band played to welcome these items to the temple during the day, but there were a lot of people who came to watch, many of them came here specially from surrounding counties, I will definitely not go back that day, and I will not leave until after the grand event tomorrow, so there are extraordinarily many people around Jinbo Temple tonight.
It was also the first time for Su Xinyi to see so many people. It can't be said that it was crowded, but it was almost the same.
She broke out in sweat, and turned to look at Su Deng, "Brother Deng, this won't work, let's go to Guanqian and wait for someone to come."
Su Deng was also covered in sweat. After wiping off his sweat, he nodded, "Okay, if you really come to see Marud, make an appointment to meet in this kind of place. It is estimated that it will not be far away from the Taoist temple. Let's go to the temple to find someone The place is cats."
The two reached a consensus, went around and returned to the temple, and found a hidden place to hide.
Su Deng and Shi Zhongqian had never met before, so after looking around, he went out and brought back two cups of cold drinks. Su Xinyi took them and downed them in one gulp, and felt much more comfortable.
Su Deng went to return the cup, and brought back a small bag of snacks made of melon, white peach, and pear for Su Xinyi. They were poured with sweet and sour juice. They tasted crisp and delicious, which was very refreshing.
After taking one bite, Su Xinyi's agitated mood was strangely soothed.
Su Deng took the opportunity to ask Su Xinyi about Shi Zhongqian's appearance. Su Xinyi carefully described it after thinking about it, and finally added a sentence, "When I hit the Duke of Qin's mansion, when I pressed Shi Zhongqian to the ground, I found that there was a hole on his earlobe. A little mole."
The corner of Su Deng's mouth twitched, and he teased her with a smile, "I heard Su Qi said that you are so fierce, be careful that you won't get married in the future."
Su Xinyi said, "What's the fun in being married, I don't want to marry."
Will she step on the same pit twice?
Su Deng was happy, and the sixth sister was interesting, but there was no one in the daughter's family who didn't marry, and now it was just a stubborn mouth, and he didn't take it to heart.
The two soon waited for Su Qi, Mu Xing and Cao Qing to come over, and they called them 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 separate in the middle, it will be much easier this way."
It's like comparing Shenbo Temple to a big watermelon, cut it in half with a knife, and they will find someone in half.
There are only so many people in hand, so I can only do this. Su Xinyi looked at Su Deng and Su Qi, "Brother Deng, you are with the second brother. The second brother knows Shi Zhongqian. I will go to the temple to have a look. After an hour, no matter whether you can find him or not." When you find someone, you have to join them."
Everyone nodded in agreement, they all knew about Su Xinyi's ability, if they just walked around the temple, it wouldn't be too dangerous, it was feasible.
Several people moved separately, and Su Xinyi followed the crowd directly into Shenbao Temple. There were two flag poles erected in front of the main hall, which were used by the artists who were going to perform tomorrow.
Su Xinyi glanced at the two flag poles and was not interested. The statue of Zhenjun Erlang was enshrined in the main hall. She didn't go in, but walked around the main hall to the house in the back hall.
The residences provided by Shenbao Temple for pilgrims are all in the backyard, and the further you go, the cleaner it will be. Only the pilgrims who live here will walk back and forth.
Su Xinyi walked in it under the cover of night, his eyes kept looking around, but unfortunately he found nothing.When she came to a mountain pavilion, her feet were sore from walking, so she sat on a stone bench to rest for a while, leaning on the stone pillar and covered by the night, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't find her presence.
Su Xinyi walked this time, and a general map of Shenbao Temple appeared in his mind. If he couldn't find anyone, he could only venture to the house of the pilgrim who stayed overnight to explore.
Thinking about this in her heart, she suddenly heard slight footsteps. She had been hunting for many years, and she had an almost weird intuition. base of the wall.
In an instant, almost as soon as Su Xinyi hid, someone walked in, and the sound of footsteps was two people.
One person's footsteps were light, and the other person's footsteps were a little heavy. Su Xinyi slowed down her breathing and huddled under the stone foundation without moving.
"Is it done?"
Su Xinyi heard a man speak urgently.
"How could it be so easy? It's really crazy. Why are roads closed everywhere now? It's as difficult as heaven to get out of Jing'an Mansion." Another person said in a very depressed tone.
"Master Li won't help?"
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence, Master Li... Isn't it Li Ji who can be called Master Li here?
"Heh, it's easy to say anything when you get the money, but you won't recognize anyone if you take the money, you dog official!"
"What should I do?"
"Didn't the former son of the capital come here? Maybe he has a way. As long as he is sent out of Jing'an Mansion, our brothers can get 10 taels of silver. This deal can be done no matter what."
Su Xinyi was taken aback when he heard this, feeling that these two people were not Ma Rude's guards, but people he paid a lot of money to open the way.
And when they mentioned Shi Zhongqian, Su Xinyi held back his temper and didn't do anything, and she didn't know the depth of the two of them, so one-on-two might not be able to win all of them.
The people in the stone pavilion stopped talking, just sitting like this, Su Xinyi felt that maybe they were waiting for him to find Shi Zhongqian who went crazy!
Su Xinyi's legs were numb when he squatted, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of making a noise and disturbing the two of them.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and the passers-by didn't know what was going on, and seemed to avoid the location of the stone pavilion. Su Xinyi adjusted slightly, and gradually heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
She counted the time, it was almost an hour, if she didn't go out to meet her elder brother and the others, she wondered if a few people would come in to find someone, if she moved too much, they would definitely be discovered by Marud's people, that would be bad.
Su Xinyi's ears carefully listened to the sounds around her. Apart from the approaching footsteps, she also heard the sound of leaves sliding.
Ok?
Su Xinyi looked sideways at the position on her left.
The stone pavilion is divided into octagons, and the plinth of this octagonal stone pavilion is also octagonal. From her side, it is impossible to see if there is anyone in the corner next to it.
She had a bad premonition. At this time, the two people in the stone pavilion probably got impatient for waiting, and they started chatting again. They didn't mention Marud's matter anymore. Instead, they talked nonsense, mixed with this vulgar Slang, which sounds unpleasant.
Taking advantage of their voices, Su Xinyi quietly approached the stone wall on the left, and when he reached the corner, Su Xinyi suddenly raised his head, not expecting a dagger next to him to stab him with a cold light.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and pressed it hard against the stone wall. Only then did she look up, and saw a familiar face under the moonlight.
Your Royal Highness?
Yan Junchu also looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, could he meet her here?
The two fought in silence, and did not disturb the people in the pavilion at this time. The two were still talking, probably because the people who were waiting had not come for a long time, and their tone became more and more anxious.
Yan Junchu and Su Xinyi's eyes met and they were speechless. Su Xinyi tiptoed to Yan Junchu's side, and then put down the hand that was holding his wrist, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She thought it was an enemy before, so she used a bit too much force. She wondered if His Royal Highness's wrist would be bruised.
Yan Junchu retracted his arm calmly, not to disturb the people in the pavilion, and the two stared at each other.
It's embarrassing.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's lack of space for his hands and feet, and the corners of his mouth curled up, well, he knew now, even though Su Xinyi didn't look tall and mighty, he was indeed very strong.
The two of them stood against the wall looking a little stupid, Su Xinyi tried not to look at the prince, and only hoped that Shi Zhongqian would show up soon.
Maybe good luck came after bad luck, the footsteps that Su Xinyi heard before did not know when they sounded again, and they arrived at Shiting very quickly.
Su Xinyi listened attentively to the movement above, and heard the two people before him ask: "Mr. Shi?"
Sure enough, Shi Zhongqian's voice sounded, "It's me, where is Ma Rude?"
"Young master Shi is really imposing, let us wait. Now you are not the son of the Duke's mansion, what kind of air are you putting on?"
These words were a bit harsh, but Su Xinyi didn't hear Shi Zhongqian's anger, only heard his steady voice, "Stop talking nonsense, no matter who I am, I'm better than you. If you want to make money, just lead the way swiftly. "
"Okay, let's go now. The one who pays is the uncle, and we brothers can't afford to mess with it." The other one said eccentrically, but he really didn't talk nonsense, and walked away.
Su Xinyi chased after him without even thinking about it. After walking two steps, he remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince was still there. She turned her head and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was also following her. Where is Master Yang? Ask him to catch the thief."
Yan Junchu stared at Su Xinyi under 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 or the polo field. Su Xinyi seemed to naturally put his safety first.
"Yang Jin set up an ambush, let's follow." Yan Junchu said with a smile.
Su Xinyi thought so too, since His Royal Highness appeared here, Yang Jin must be around, so she nodded, "Then let's catch up."
The three people in front didn't walk very fast, and if they didn't, they would look back, so Su Xinyi didn't follow closely, for fear of being alarmed.
Once the distance is widened, there is no need to be so cautious when speaking, Su Xinyi couldn't help asking: "Why is Your Highness at the pavilion?"
Yan Junchu was silent for a while, and then said: "Yang Jin thought I was in the way, and asked me to go to the pavilion to enjoy the cool air, but you arrived right after I arrived. I heard someone coming, so I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid before I saw who it was. up."
That's fine, there's no need to say anything later.
The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, what kind of luck was this.
The two chatted and followed the three of them into the courtyard where the pilgrims lived, and saw them push open a courtyard door in the corner and go in.
Su Xinyi observed the surrounding terrain, wondering if he would be found if he went up to the roof to eavesdrop.
Thinking of meeting the night cat kept by Shenbao Temple on the road before, Su Xinyi turned around and ran back.
Yan Junchu looked at her fiery figure, and waited silently at the spot, and soon saw her come back with a cat in her arms, then watched her walk past the wall, reached out to touch the cat's head twice, and then Throwing his hands up, the night cat turned over in mid-air and landed on the tiles of 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 him, and he couldn't go up to the roof rashly, so he had to retreat quietly.
Yan Junchu saw that she was very skillful in throwing cats, and when she came back, he asked, "How did you come up with this method?"
Su Xinyi said: "The wild cat moves lightly, is cautious by nature, and runs fast. It won't hurt it if you use it to explore the way. If you change to a puppy, it won't work, and you can't bite people on the roof."
Yan Junchu looked at her eyes and still stared at the house trying to figure out a way. She always has a tenacity in her body, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal.
"There is a small passage behind the house, which can accommodate a person standing sideways and walking together. Let's go and have a look?" Yan Junchu looked at her and said.
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to turn around, so he nodded immediately, "Go."
She really wanted to know what Shi Zhongqian was doing here. She always felt that it was not easy. Could it be that he was here for the eldest sister, mother and daughter?
Here are [-] words, my little cuties, it’s the end of the month, please ask for a monthly ticket, thank you for your support.
