Su Qingtan's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she lowered her head slightly, "I just wanted to come..."
"Are you here to ask why I haven't brought you to handle the case together since your Su family has been excluded? Has your performance disappointed me?"
Ling Qinglan smiled and glanced at Su Qingtan, who was speechless. She stood up and picked up a file on the table and threw it into the latter's arms, "Look at this."
Su Qingtan opened the file and scanned it briefly, her face immediately darkened, and she finally knew why Ling Qinglan didn't look for him.
Because the Su family has not been separated from the case.
"Su Huanli's family came to Qinghe City and secretly obeyed Wu Yun's orders. The method used to find out the official silver in Baiwei Tower was actually ordered by Wu Yun himself. The person who did it was also Su Huanli's eldest lady, your aunt, Zhu Yan. Su Qingtan, your Su family has a lot to do with Wu Yun, how can I get you to participate in this case?"
Ling Qinglan gently patted Su Qingtan's stiff shoulder and still smiled: "Only you and I know the contents of this file. Wu Yun is cunning and cunning. It is inevitable that your family will make some mistakes after being instigated. This is the only mistake. No matter how big or small, Su Qingtan, how about I leave it to you to handle your Su family's affairs?"
Su Qingtan's heart sank, she thought for a moment, clasped her fists and said respectfully: "I obey my orders!"
Ling Qinglan waved her hand nonchalantly, "Go down and get it done as soon as possible. There are so many cases in the capital, there's no time to waste here."
Su Qingtan nodded and stepped back, holding the file in her hand, but it was as if she was holding on to a mountain, it was very heavy.
After he left, Ling Qinglan came back to her senses, and her eyes flashed with interest.
"Uncle Shan, how do you think he will choose?"
The middle-aged guard shook his head. He didn't know Su Qingtan, so how could he know what that kid would do.
Ling Qinglan patted her fan and sat down again, "The reason why Su Qingtan is attracted to me is because he has justice in his heart rather than loyalty. I can use this to test whether he... is worthy of being my successor." nourish."
As for whether he is the successor of Dali Temple or... the Hidden Demon Sect, no one knows.
The middle-aged guard's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Ling Qinglan waved his hand and said casually: "I know what you mean, but it's just a pity... God doesn't give you face, but I won't live as long as them. I've always liked to plot. It’s better to be prepared for some things in advance.”
Seeing Ling Qinglan's calm expression, the middle-aged guard felt sad.
…
However, when Su Qingtan returned to his residence and looked at the files quietly placed on the table, there was a struggle in his eyes.
Whether it was Su Zipei or Zhu Yan, he had no burden in arresting them. The friendship in the past had long been exhausted as they hurt Su Li again and again. If there was no family relationship to maintain, he could even bring the mother and son together. Considered an enemy! If dad and grandma ask, this file is enough for them to communicate.
The person who really put pressure on him was none other than Su Li.
This girl was repeatedly abused by Zhu Yan and bullied by Su Zipei, but she never complained. In her heart, she still regarded those two scum as relatives. He also understood that just like his feelings for Li Yuelian, Zhu Yan was Su Li's biological mother, and the blood-thicker-water relationship could never be erased.
If he arrests Zhu Yan, will Su Li hate him for it
Su Qingtan's knuckles turned white from pinching, and veins were visible on her forehead due to excessive exertion.
He was not afraid of anything, he was in danger many times in Yunjing, and he even went to death brazenly!
But now, he's scared...
Academy courtyard.
Su Li looked at the clean bluestone road outside. It looked like her eldest brother wouldn't be coming today. She opened the drawer, took out "Proud Sword Jue" from the secret compartment, and reflected on it carefully.
At any rate, she had some attainments in the realm of swordsmanship in her previous life, and the first three levels of "Proud Sword Jue" were understood without any hesitation. She even gained a lot of insights, which made Su Li's bottleneck in the realm of swordsmanship slightly loose.
But since seeing the fourth level, Su Li seemed to have become an idiot and couldn't understand a word. She clearly recognized the words on the sword manual, but when they were put together, she didn't know what they meant.
Su Li didn't think it was her fault. Although she wasn't smart, she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't even read the book. There must be a secret hidden in the fourth level of "Proud Sword Art" that she couldn't break through yet. .
"In his previous life, Sword Lord Hou's training was smooth, and he didn't see any bottlenecks in the way of swordsmanship. Why is it different when he comes to me..."
Su Li frowned secretly, feeling slightly troubled.
Although she was surrounded by worldly affairs, she certainly understood that cultivation was the foundation. Except for the days when she was dealing with special events, she never missed a day in her cultivation. She also used ordinary medicinal materials in the pharmacy to prepare many auxiliary medicines with unsatisfactory effects to assist her cultivation. In just half a year, her cultivation level has reached the peak of the third level of Xiantian from when she first entered Xiantian, almost every month.
Such a speed of cultivation could not be matched even by Ling Li who was reincarnated and re-cultivated, let alone other people in the martial arts world.
However, Su Li had no intention of being complacent. She knew very well that there were people outside the world and there was a world outside the world. She even felt that her cultivation speed was too slow to keep up with her own plan. When Linliju enters Yunjing, she will not be able to control the situation just by innateness, so she needs to reach a higher level in a very short time.
"With the framework of Linliju now established, it's time to order people to collect information about high-grade elixirs."
A flash of light flashed in Su Li's eyes, and he regained his composure and immersed himself in the sword canon again.
On this day, it was extremely quiet. Su Qingtan did not muster up the courage to come over. There was no movement in the next two days. Even Ling Qinglan, who had some confidence in him, gradually lost the smile on his face.
"Is it possible that this kid really burned that roll?"
Thinking like this, Ling Qinglan finally received a reply from her servant, "Master Su took people to a small inn!"
Snapped!
Ling Qinglan flapped her fan, a faint smile appeared on her face, "Don't disturb him, I'll go take a look."
At the same time, Su Li also received a message from Fang Yuan. She immediately figured out why Su Qingtan disappeared in the past two days. After thinking for a moment, she immediately put on the costume of "Mr. Li" and rushed to Zhu Yan's residence...
Zhu Yan was still living in the small inn that Su Li had chosen. Even after receiving news of the downfall of the Jin Lin family, she had no intention of running away because she knew that she and Su Zipei alone would not be able to escape at all.
Su Zipei quietly ate the lunch brought by the waiter. After the Jin Lin family was arrested, she was frightened and wanted to run away, but she didn't dare to run around without her mother. She lost With her mother by her side, it would be a problem for her to even go back to Dasu Town.
Fortunately, no officers or soldiers came to the door in the past two days, which calmed Su Zipei's uneasy mind.
"Mom, don't you really want to come over and have something to eat?"
After eating, Su Zipei turned back to the back room and saw no response. She packed up the dishes and was about to take them down when she suddenly felt a vibration on the floor, like an earthquake. Before she could react, the door was slammed. With a loud push, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in and surrounded them.
The innkeeper was still wailing beside him, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with this villain! I really don't know that the two of them are fugitives, otherwise how could they be allowed to stay in the hotel!"
Su Zipei's face turned as pale as paper, and his whole body was stiff. It seemed that even his eyes were frozen and he couldn't move. The officers and soldiers were really here!
"You have nothing to do here, get down!"
The shopkeeper was amnesty and went downstairs in a mess. When Su Zipei heard such a familiar voice, he immediately turned his eyes and saw a young man who was obviously different from the others among the officers and soldiers. He was immediately overjoyed:
"Brother!! Mom, come out quickly, it's the eldest brother! The eldest brother has become an official, we are fine!"
Zhu Yan, who was full of despair in the back room, suddenly heard these words. Regardless of her disheveled hair, she ran out crawling on the ground. When she saw Su Qingtan, who was dressed in black and had a serious face, she burst into tears: "Qingtan, what a pity." It’s you!”
As she said that, Zhu Yan rushed directly in front of Su Qingtan, hugged the latter's waist tightly, and burst into tears, "Mother is so confused, I'm really wrong this time! Qingtan, you are successful now, you must You can save your mother, right?"
However, Su Zipei believed that Su Qingtan was here to let them off the hook this time, so she stood behind her mother in a coy manner and timidly said: "Brother, you didn't tell me or my mother when you came back. My mother and I have been worried for the past two days. .”
The confidants who came with Su Qingtan were also wavering at this moment. If the two people in front of them were really Mr. Su's relatives, then why did Mr. Su's purpose of coming here... really be to protect him
"He has just become the Minister of Dali Temple, how dare he do this?"
"What's this? I've seen it a lot. Master Ling is the only one in the whole Dali Temple who is very innocent and fair."
"Thanks to Lord Ling for caring so much about him, he actually behaved recklessly..."
"pity!"
Several young people with cultivation levels above the eighth level of the day after tomorrow communicated with each other, and their eyes were filled with contempt when they looked at Su Qingtan.
At the same time, on the roof of the second floor of the restaurant diagonally opposite the inn, Ling Qinglan and Su Li stood opposite each other. The middle-aged guard's face was wary, and he looked at Su Li with horror in his eyes.
They didn't even realize there was anyone here before they came up.
Ling Qinglan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Mr. Li is really well-informed."
"So many Dali Temple elite soldiers with extraordinary cultivation were walking through the street, it was difficult not to attract attention."
Su Li seemed to explain, then pointed in the direction of the guest station, handed out a pot of strong fire wine, and said with a smile: "The play in front of you is a good play, and it is wonderful to have this thing to accompany you."
Ling Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then took it and smelled it, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Sir, you are really a sweetheart!"
The two of them became quiet, and the situation in the inn changed again.
Su Qingtan's face was calm. Watching the mother and son acting, he could not feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart, and even felt a little sick.
He waved his hand, which was the gesture of Dali Temple's capture. The eyes of the confidants behind him who were transmitting messages immediately flashed with a different light, and then they ducked in an instant, pulling Zhu Yan away from Su Qingtan's waist and pressing her firmly. on the ground.
"ah!"
Zhu Yan screamed, and the person behind her used so much force that she almost thought her arm was broken.
"How dare you! I am your lord's aunt, how dare you do this to me?!"
Zhu Yan hugged Su Qingtan's waist and didn't see his gesture, so she thought it was a subordinate acting without authorization. But Su Zipei saw it clearly, and for a moment she felt a chill in her heart. It seemed like her elder brother... wasn't here to let them off the hook.
