After hearing what the Qing merchants said, all the wealthy merchants finally changed their expressions.
Seeing this, the Qing merchants sneered even more and continued: "The first possibility is that this batch of embroidery came from the cargo list a month ago. However, the official has denied it just now, so there is only the second possibility. That is... This batch of embroidery comes from apprentices in the embroidery workshop!"
"Our embroidery workshop has never had a rule for apprentices to make orders. This rule is set by the government, and even the workshop owner cannot change it."
Jia An came forward with a smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold that they could kill, "I would like to ask all the members, where did a batch of defective products come from? The embroidery of my Qinghe County embroidery workshop apprentices will be destroyed every day. . It seems that I need to check it out carefully."
"You...don't talk nonsense!"
The leading wealthy businessman stuttered for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence. In the end, he could only say bitterly: "You guys are awesome, let's see!"
Seeing this group of people leaving in a hurry, it was like losing a dog. The whole back hall of the embroidery workshop suddenly burst into cheers.
"Yeah! We won!"
"The boss is so awesome. He solved the problem as soon as he came."
"It's great to be proven innocent!"
"There must be a spy in the embroidery workshop. Don't let me know who it is, otherwise I will skin him!"
“…”
Jia An smiled and sent everyone back to continue working. He walked to Su Li and said with regret, "Master, I've embarrassed you."
"It doesn't matter, you are not familiar with embroidery after all." Su Li waved her hand, "It is not a good thing for the apprentice's embroidery to leak out. This matter must be investigated carefully and no one can be let off."
"yes!"
Jia An bowed slightly and was finally convinced by Su Li.
It turned out that the old shop owner didn't randomly choose someone to sit in this position. He thought that Su Li would be in a hurry when encountering such a thing, and it was up to him to save the situation. Unexpectedly, the reality was completely different from what he imagined, and he was even comforted by this half-grown girl.
Thinking of this, Jia An smiled bitterly.
After Su Li left the embroidery workshop, she didn't have time to go back to the school, so she came to Linli Residence immediately.
"Immediately, go and investigate Gong Xiangjun's current situation."
"Qu Qingning, prepare the medicinal materials on the list. I will refine the medicine overnight."
"Fang Yuan, go to the Jin family and see if there is any movement of supervisory officers and soldiers. Don't be discovered. The Jin family has experts."
After a series of orders, the upper echelons of Linliju were all gone almost instantly.
Su Li stood on the top floor and looked at the south of the city. The light in his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Su Li, I bought everything back. I also stole everything I couldn't buy back. See if it's right..."
Qu Qingning came in in a hurry and placed a large bag of things in front of Su Li. Su Li glanced at it and took it away into the underground secret room. There was no movement again.
At the same time, Yan Hongxiu secretly came to the martial arts field with a silver bow in his arms. He couldn't help but feel disappointed when he didn't see Su Li sacrifice himself. Could it be that it would take another month for her to see the immortal master? That would be too long...
"I feel so stupid after touching it all day long."
Yan Hongxiu grumbled, but still put the bow on his back, then picked up an ordinary longbow and started practicing.
Yan Shixun, who was in the dark, watched and became more and more confused. In the past few days, his daughter's enthusiasm for practicing bows had suddenly increased a lot. She also carried a bow on her back all day and behaved strangely. He couldn't worry that she had been secretly following her these past few days, but he couldn't help it. Didn't see anything special.
As for what Yan Hongxiu was thinking, of course he couldn't hear it.
"That's all, let her do whatever she wants in the last year. This child is too influenced by Zi Ye..."
Thinking of Yan Ziye, Yan Shixun's eyes dimmed slightly, "Ziye, the world of martial arts is not as simple as you think. When you grow up, you will understand the good intentions of your father. That world... is not something ordinary people can deal with. .”
Late at night, the stars are getting dimmer.
Squeak...
The wooden door of the underground secret room opened, and a faint smell of medicine came out. Su Li walked out of the door with a tired look on her face. Today's training took a lot of energy from her.
"Are you okay?"
It was the first time that Fang Yuan saw Su Li with such an expression, and he subconsciously expressed concern.
Su Li glanced at him, and then placed a bottle filled with white powder in his hand, "You should have found out where the housekeeper Jin lives. After dawn, if it's me... you can..."
Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he squeezed the bottle tightly, "Is there no other way?"
Su Li smiled brightly, "Why, can you think of something more perfect?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment. After a while, he put away the bottle and said in a deep voice: "If what you said doesn't work, I will do it myself."
Su Li didn't answer anymore, turned around and put a letter in Qu Qingning's hand, "Go find Yan Ziye and give it to him alone. I believe he will know what to do after reading it. By the way, how is the news I asked Hei Dan and the others to find out?"
When Qu Qingning heard this, he suddenly said strangely: "Su Li, how did you guess that Gong Xiangjun would be seriously ill? Could it be that you poisoned him?"
Su Li shook her head in a funny way, "You are not as smart as Yin Xuetong. How could you fall in love with you if you are not that stupid girl?"
"You!" Qu Qingning's eyes widened and he said bitterly, "Forget it if you don't tell me. I'll go ask my Xuetong."
Fang Yuan looked helpless in his heart. It's already this time, do you still have the intention to joke
…
After dawn, Su Li returned to the courtyard of the academy. Nanny Li had just woken up. When she saw Su Li sitting in the main room, she immediately asked: "Miss, don't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Li lowered her head, straightened her clothes, and said calmly, "I don't want to be too embarrassed."
"What?" Nanny Li looked confused.
suddenly-
boom! !
The wooden door of the courtyard was suddenly blasted open by a huge force and fell into two halves on the ground. A group of officers and soldiers with knives rushed in aggressively and immediately surrounded Su Li upon seeing him.
"Master Su, the Supervision Department now suspects that you colluded with the embroidery merchants and embezzled profits from it! The Supervisor has ordered that you be taken to the prison of the Supervision Department starting today to await interrogation!"
Grandma Li's heart trembled when she heard this. She was about to step forward to argue, but an officer and soldier directly put a knife to her neck, making her unable to move.
Su Li didn't seem to notice the knife points all around him, and said calmly: "What happened yesterday was slander. I am the owner of the embroidery workshop, and my status is the same as that of a supervisor or a county guard. The Supervision Department arrests people without proof. I am really not afraid of the county. Did the Shoufu directly send a lawsuit to Yunjing?"
The leader's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately sneered: "Master Su said something serious, the Supervision Department just asked Master Su to go back and cooperate with the investigation! If Master Su has any injustice, you can explain it to the supervisor. Take him away!"
As he said that, two people wanted to hold down Su Li's hands.
Su Li shook it off fiercely, with an angry look in her eyes, "How outrageous! I will leave on my own! I want to see how the supervisor will slander an innocent person!"
The leader was sarcastic when he heard this. He had never seen anyone come out of the prison of the Supervision Department safely.
But on the surface, he still stretched out his hand and said, "Master Su, please."
A group of officers and soldiers from the Supervision Department did not take a detour and took Su Li away from the gate of the school. In just a moment, it caused an uproar in the entire Qinghe City.
"What, Su Li was arrested by the Supervision Department?"
Wen Ruoxi slammed the table in anger, and then asked anxiously: "When did it happen? Damn it, the Jin family took action immediately as soon as Sister Gong fell ill. The information is really well-informed! No, I have to go to the county governor's house. , we must not let anything happen to Su Li!"
Linliju, who had let out the spy, got the news immediately. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning couldn't help but trembled slightly, and at the same time they started to act according to Su Li's instructions.
"Su Li was arrested? By the Jin family?"
Yan Hongxiu was still eating breakfast when she suddenly heard such shocking news and almost choked to death.
"Miss, I just found out. Will Su Li be okay?"
Huan'er said with a worried look, although the little lecturer looked extremely strict, the young lady's temperament and embroidery skills had improved significantly. How could such a good lecturer do bad things
"I'm going to find dad!"
After putting down her half-eaten breakfast, Yan Hongxiu ran out with her bow on her back. Although she said she hated Su Li, she immediately panicked when she heard that Su Li was kidnapped by such a vicious family.
"Su Li, you have to hold on!"
When they came to their father's yard, Yan Hongxiu didn't find Yan Shixun. When he asked the housekeeper, he found out that his father had already taken people to investigate.
On the other side, Yan Ziye didn't feel much after hearing the news. Although the incident in the embroidery workshop was detrimental to the Yan family, with his identity and ability, he couldn't help much. He could only avoid getting involved and causing trouble for his father.
"call!"
Suddenly, a dart penetrated into the study room and was nailed directly in front of Yan Ziye, only an inch away from Yan Ziye's hand.
"who?"
Yan Ziye's heart shrank, and he immediately turned over and jumped out of the window. He looked around but saw no one. He returned to the study, took off the dart, opened the note on the dart, and his expression immediately changed.
"Mr. Li..."
After reading the small print on it, Yan Ziye's aura immediately changed from helpless to confident, and he immediately burned the note.
He didn't expect that Mr. Li would have a hand in this matter, and as long as he acted according to the plan, he would definitely be able to deal a blow to the Jin family and prevent the Jin family from continuing to seize the embroidery workshop!
"Dad, let me help you this time!" Yan Ziye thought of this and went out confidently.
At this moment, in the Supervision Department, Yan Shixun looked gloomily at the head of the Jin family, Jin Zhentian, who was wearing the supervisor's official attire.
"Jin Zhentian, you went too far this time! You arrested the owner of the embroidery shop without any evidence. Do you really think that Qinghe County is run by your family?"
The incident with Menghuzhai and Wu Lin had reached the limit of his patience, and the incident with the embroidery workshop master had touched his nerves even more. If Jin Zhentian couldn't give an explanation, he would definitely stop worrying about anything and take action directly.
Even if both sides suffer, we won’t hesitate!
Jin Zhentian chuckled, "Don't worry, Sheriff Yan. The junior officials are just acting in accordance with the regulations. Yesterday, a group of wealthy businessmen came to my place to complain, saying that they had been embezzled a lot of money by the embroidery workshop, but they were kicked out when they went to the embroidery workshop to reason. . I also took out the defective embroidery from the embroidery workshop. Since the certification evidence is there, I naturally have no choice but to invite Master Su back and conduct a thorough investigation."
Yan Shixun frowned when he heard this, "Jin Zhentian! You should know the regulations of the Supervision Department better than me, and you must not give in. You arrest people without investigating, do you take Dahan State's regulations seriously?"
"Sir Yan, what you said is wrong. Master Su is also a very powerful person. If I wait for the investigation before arresting people, wouldn't it be easy for the news to leak out and Master Su to escape?"
Jin Zhentian smiled broadly, like a smiling tiger,
"Rules are dead, people are alive. Therefore, the official can only make this decision, arrest the person first and then talk about it. However, please rest assured, Mr. Yan, during the investigation, the Supervision Department will take good care of Master Su. I guarantee that she will continue to Not a single hair will fall off. As long as Master Yan can prove that Master Su is innocent, I will release him immediately."
Yan Shixun's face turned slightly blue, and after looking at Jin Zhentian for a few breaths, he finally couldn't help but snorted, rolled up his sleeves and left. Jin Zhentian is very well prepared. There is no point in wasting his time here. Now he can only hope that the so-called "rich businessmen" have not gone far.
After walking out of the door and looking at the blue sky and white sun outside the Supervision Department, Yan Shixun let out a long sigh.
"Master Su, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you this time!"
