"...not you?"
Fang Yuan opened his thin lips slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't think carefully, but that Su Li's reaction to the news just now was too dull, so dull that he suspected that the culprit was Su Li himself.
"You have time to doubt me, why not think about how to save the situation."
Su Li watched Su Huanli struggling and being dragged down by the officers and soldiers, and his tone became cold, "I don't have time to go to other counties and cities to rebuild Linliju!"
Fang Yuan watched Su Li leave, frowning for a moment, and then relaxed.
Thinking about it carefully, Su Li could not be the murderer who stole the official silver, otherwise the good situation that Linli Ju had painstakingly created would be ruined. He only saw the hatred between Su Li and the Su family, but ignored Su Li's Code of conduct.
Whether it was the agreement with the Yan family siblings or the one million taels of silver lent to Yan Shixun, it was enough to prove that Su Li was optimistic about and supported the Yan family. How could he destroy the chessboard and put the Yan family in danger.
"I was impulsive."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt annoyed. Not only did he think in a different direction, but he also impulsively blamed Su Li. Now he feels extremely stupid just thinking about it, and he doesn't know what Su Li will think of him.
"Fang Yuan, why are you still standing here? The man in black has made another move. Su Li has already rushed to the school!"
Qu Qingning came in and shouted hurriedly. Fang Yuan just woke up from a dream, immediately returned to normal, and left in a hurry with Qu Qingning.
Su Li hurried back to the school. It was already getting light. Not long after, she received a message from Wen Ruoxi, asking her to go over and discuss important matters. When Su Li passed by, she found that Yan Shixun was also there.
Seeing Su Li coming over with a confused look on her face, Wen Ruoxi's cloudy old eyes flashed with distress. This girl must not know the big event that happened last night.
"Dean, why did you call me here so early?"
Su Li spoke in confusion, then turned his eyes as if he had just seen Yan Shixun, and saluted quickly: "Su Li, I have met Commander Yan."
Yan Shixun nodded slightly, with a solemn look on his face, and a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Su Li, you came here just in time. I have something to tell you."
Wen Ruoxi's face was complicated, and she took Su Li's hand and hesitated for a long time before telling her what happened last night.
"Jianshe Yan knows that this matter was definitely not done by your father and the others, but the Jin and Lin families are keeping a close eye on him, so he can only capture your father to prevent them from getting hold of him, which is also a disguised form of protection for your father."
Su Li's eyes turned red, she bit her lips and nodded. Wen Ruoxi was both relieved and distressed. This girl was very sensible, but she was allowed to get involved in the conspiracy between adults when she was only sixteen years old. It would be too cruel.
"Look at this again. This is what a beggar delivered to the gate of the school today. The origin of the note has been investigated, but... there will probably be no results."
Wen Ruoxi picked up the note on the table and handed it to Su Li. Su Li looked at it intently, with a vague light flashing in his eyes.
The words written on the note were not evil words, if you take the superficial meaning. This was clearly a secret letter that was to be handed over to Su Li alone. It stated the time and place for Su Li to meet, how to distribute the profits of the official bank, and the prospects for a bright future.
If Su Li hadn't stood here properly, she would have almost believed that she was with this group of people who stole official silver.
Wen Ruoli and Yan Shixun were not fools. They quickly figured out the contradiction. If it was really a secret letter, how could a beggar be sent to the school gate. After discussing for a while, the two of them quickly came to a conclusion.
The message on the note seemed to be written to Su Li, but in fact it was written to them, a threatening letter asking them to hand over Su Li.
"Dean, I have nothing to do with the person in the letter!"
Su Li's breathing was short, and her eyes flashed with a trace of panic, as if she was afraid that Yan Shixun and Wen Ruoxi wouldn't believe her.
Wen Ruoxi sighed, touched Su Li's silky hair and smiled: "Silly girl, of course we know that you have nothing to do with them. This letter actually asks us to hand you over."
"What?"
Su Li's eyes widened slightly, as if she didn't react.
Yan Se It was because they were involved.
"Master Yan, I probably already know who is behind this."
A light of wisdom flashed in Wen Ruoxi's eyes, "Su Li, do you still remember who you offended when you visited Dean Gong before?"
"Dean Gong?"
Su Li pretended to be thinking, then suddenly showed a sudden realization and blurted out: "Could it be that Mrs. Gong? But I just contradicted her a little, how could she do this?"
"Mrs. Gong...Wu Yun!"
Yan Shixun's expression changed, and finally became completely gloomy. If Wu Yun really had the means and the ability to set up such a situation, damn it! Why didn't he expect that she was behind it
When Wen Ruoxi heard Su Li say such innocent words, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Su Li, some people are so small-minded that ordinary people can't measure it. That Wu Yun is narrow-minded and will retaliate, and her plan was thwarted by an expert again." If you go, you will inevitably vent your anger on other people. Everyone likes to pinch the weak, and you are the easiest to pinch among her enemies in Qinghe City."
"I see."
Su Li seemed to suddenly become enlightened, and then fell into deeper anxiety, saying anxiously: "What should we do?"
"Master Sufang!"
Yan Shixun, who had been silent next to him, finally spoke, "For the current plan, we can only ask the boss to go to this place to test it out. I will send someone to follow and protect you secretly. If we see the note and don't respond, there is no guarantee that the other party will." If I take Guan Yin and fly far away, I will be defeated if I lose. If I can't take my wife and children back to my hometown, the Su Family Master will be in danger. Under the pressure of the Jin family, I'm afraid I can only hand him over to the court for disposal. Su Fang Master You see..."
A look of struggle appeared on Su Li's face, and then he gritted his teeth and said shortly after: "Young man is willing to go! I believe that everything in this world has its own justice. I, Su Li, am responsible for everything I do. Mrs. Gong came to me, so why bother my father."
Yan Shixun felt secretly ashamed after hearing this. He still underestimated the courage of the young shop owner. Although she was very scared, she stood up without hesitation and harmed his Yan family for the sake of a father who didn't treat her as a human being.
At such a young age, she actually sees everything very clearly...
"Oh, girl..."
Wen Ruoxiu seemed to have remembered something from the past, sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Girl, don't worry, I will hire a master to protect you secretly even if I lose my face. You will never Something happened!"
After the three discussed the time details, Yan Shixun arranged for officers and soldiers to escort Su Li back to the courtyard, and then sent him to protect her.
After Su Li and Yan Shixun left, Wen Ruoxi sat blankly for a moment, her cloudy eyes cleared a few times, and she took out another piece of paper from under the table. This note was found next to her bed early this morning, and she didn't show it to anyone but herself.
"If Su Li doesn't come, neither the Yan family nor the Qinghe Female School will be able to live well! Wen Ruoli, you are still the same as you were sixteen years ago, unable to protect her at all, hahahaha..."
Tear!
Wen Ruoli had a sullen face and tore the note into pieces with all her strength. Then she glanced in the direction of Su Li's courtyard and shouted softly: "Come here, I want to go to Linli Residence!"
The school courtyard, which was heavily protected by officers and soldiers, naturally could not stop Su Li. Without much effort, Su Li returned to the center of Lili.
"Wu Yun has help here, and his methods are good."
Su Li put the note on the table with a calm expression, "He was able to steal a large amount of official silver from the government and burn embroidery without anyone noticing. The first possibility is that this person has extremely high qinggong and ignores the guards in the government warehouse." The power goes into it.”
"The second possibility is that, just like you, Su Li, that person has mastered extremely sophisticated poison techniques. He made the elite soldiers of the government in a daze and unconscious."
Qu Qingning shook his head and accepted the words, but Fang Yuan retorted: "It is impossible. With Yan Shixun's sense of smell, he will not be able to detect the existence of the smoke. Of course... if it is the kind of black smoke refined by Su Li, it is another matter. "
"Is there a third possibility?" Fang Mu sat obediently at the table and looked at everyone raising their hands and said, "A traitor?"
"No way?" Yin Xuetong expressed doubts, "That is an important place of the government. The people guarding the warehouse are all elite soldiers of the government. They swear allegiance to the county governor's office. If there is a traitor among these people, then the entire county governor's office still has secrets. Can you say that?"
Seeing the heated discussion among the people, Su Li smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is a traitor. It's just that it's not in the government, but in the Baiwei Building."
Speaking of Baiweilou, everyone's expressions changed. Fang Yuan reacted first and his tone became colder, "You mean?"
Su Li's smile did not change and she said slowly: "Su Huanli was the only one who was arrested. Even my dear third sister happened to go back to the inn to take care of my mother. What a coincidence."
"Zhu Yan and Su Zipei?"
Qu Qingning was speechless, with a strange look on his face, "But why did they do that? Didn't the eldest lady just give birth? What good does she gain by putting Su Huanli in jail?"
Su Li did not answer, but Yin Xuetong showed a thoughtful expression, as if it was not strange to do such a thing to Zhu Yan.
But at this moment, Hei Dan said from outside the door, "Boss, the Dean of Literature of Qinghe Girls' School is here unexpectedly!"
"Wen Ruoli?"
Su Li raised her eyebrows. She had just returned from school. Could it be...
After tea time, Linli lived in the living room in the back hall. Su Li and Wen Ruoxi, dressed as "Mr. Li", sat opposite each other. Yin Xuetong poured a cup of tea for Wen Ruoxi with a respectful expression, and left with a smile. Wen Ruoxi was quite flattered. The shopkeeper's status was not far different from that of the dean. Yin Xuetong's service was really too friendly.
She was feeling strange in her heart, but Su Li's voice brought her back to reality from her thoughts.
"I haven't seen you for many days. Dean Wen is still as charming as ever. I just don't know why he suddenly visited me."
Wen Ruoxi looked ashamed, stood up and bowed slightly: "I heard that Mr. Li has been meditating, and I should not interrupt him rashly! It's just... Can Mr. Li allow me to tell you a story before listening to my request?" Speaking of which, this matter is actually related to Su Li, a young lecturer at my school..."
Su Li's eyes flashed, but he smiled on the surface: "That's the case, it's okay for Dean Wen to say it, I just want you to listen attentively."
Wen Ruoli felt relieved and sighed: "Mr. Li is so polite. Eighteen years ago, a girl who was as talented as Su Li appeared, named Su Yun..."
