"Do it!" Su Xinyi agreed straight away with a cheerful temperament, "You are not just handing them over to me just to have a meal, right?"

Zeng Liang was not surprised that Su Xinyi asked this question. It is comfortable to work with smart people. He nodded and looked into the distance. "One of these two children is smart and the other is steady. They have no other shortcomings except a big appetite. They follow me, an old beggar." I can only be a little beggar in this life, what’s the point?”

Su Xinyi listened quietly. When she heard this, she looked up at Zeng Liang and said, "Following me doesn't mean much. At most, you can just be my bodyguard. This is not what you want, right?"

Zeng Liang looked at Tian Zao who looked unkind in the distance, "He has been following me since he was a child. He has also read a few books, knows a few words, and learned some boxing skills. If you keep him by your side for a year or two, will you have the right skills?" Let’s send them both to the army if we get the chance.”

Su Xinyi was stunned, not expecting such an answer.

Zeng Liang looked at Su Xinyi's surprised look and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so surprising? For such a half-grown boy, as long as my parents are around, I don't have to worry about it. It's not troublesome to enroll in the military, but you have to have one." Road, otherwise this life will be worthless without an origin. "

Su Xinyi was silent, military positions were hereditary in various military posts, and the guards were half civilians and half soldiers. When they went out, they became soldiers, and when they entered, they became civilians. Moreover, military membership was also hereditary.

What does this mean?

Outsiders definitely can't beat the locals, and they don't have any background to look after them. Once there is a war, these people will be the first to be assigned to charge.

And it was this group of people who suffered the most casualties.

"It's hard to be a sergeant, why do you want to be a soldier?" Su Xinyi turned to look at Tian Zao and asked.

Tian Zao lowered his head and said nothing. Zeng Liang spoke for him, "Both Tian Zao and Bao Datong's parents died at the hands of northern Tatars. They fled with people from the same village. Later, they lived in the capital and were about to starve to death, so they followed I became a beggar."

Su Xinyi understood. The two wanted to join the army, presumably because they wanted to avenge their parents. However, because they had no background and joined the military, they were afraid that they would be used as cannon fodder in the charge, so Zeng Liang wanted to find someone to back them up.

"Okay." Su Xinyi nodded. This is not a difficult task. Children who can avenge their parents will certainly help if they can.

Seeing that Su Xinyi agreed, Zeng Liang stopped going around in circles and took out a piece of paper and gave it to her, "The address is above. It is the private treasury of the Mada Salt Merchant. It is said that a batch of private salt has just been purchased."

Su Xinyi:......

"Awesome, I will order the food and drinks for you next year." Su Xinyi just didn't expect that Zeng Liang could even find out such things. How deep is his roots in Qingjinfang?

Since she is so capable, why should Tian Zao and Bao Datong be entrusted to her?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it for the time being. She looked at Zeng Liang and asked, "Is this why Qingjinfang was closed today?"

Zeng Liang said: "I don't know."

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, and she turned to look at Tian Zao, "Are you coming with me now, or will you go after you've packed up?"

Tian Zao couldn't let go of Zeng Liang at first glance, and Su Xinyi guessed that he wouldn't leave with her immediately.

Sure enough, Tian had already said, "Thank you Miss Six, I want to see you in a few days."

Zeng Liang was not happy, "I have to go in the morning and in the evening. What are you talking about?"

Tian Zao ignored him.

Zeng Liang was discouraged for a while.

Su Xinyi laughed when she saw this. This Tian Zao had some skills. Even an old man like Zeng Liang couldn't control him.

"Then I'll leave first." Su Xinyi put the things away, looked at Tian Zao and said: "Joining the army is a good thing, but it is very hard. If you are not strong enough in fighting, you will just send people's heads to be chopped off. If you want to follow my path and join the army, you have to listen to my arrangements and learn your skills first. "

Tian Zao nodded, "Okay."

Su Xinyi smiled, raised her feet and left.

As soon as she left, Zeng Liang looked at Tian Zao and said slowly: "You have your own ideas, and I can't control you. But Miss Su Liu's father is the famous Fourth Master Su. If you follow her path, When you join the army, even for Master Su's sake, no one will make things too difficult for you, but Miss Su Liu is right, you need to be hardworking and you still have to learn the skills. "

Tian Zao glanced at Zeng Liang, then lowered his head, "I understand."

Master Zeng took out the things from the bottom of the box and exchanged them with Miss Su Liu. He could not live up to this friendship. He knew what he wanted to do, which path he wanted to take, and how difficult and dangerous it was.

Zeng Liang looked at Tian Zao's stubborn face, tutted and ignored him. He closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun, humming the troupe's recently popular opera lyrics, which was very comfortable and comfortable.

Holding such a good thing in hand, Su Xinyi thought that it would be better to find her eldest brother first, give the thing to him, and ask him to present it to the prince. This is also a great achievement.

As for herself, she didn't really want to see His Highness the Crown Prince. His eyes made her very stressed.

His Highness is so kind, and she feels uncomfortable every time she lies in front of him.

However, who would dare to say this easily?

I'm afraid I didn't want to kill her as a monster.

Su Xinyi turned around to find Su Yi. Qingjinfang was closed today. She turned onto the main road. When she saw a soldier, she asked him politely if Su Yi was on duty today.

The person who was caught was impatient at first, but when he heard her mention Su Yi's name, he changed his smile and said, "What does the young master want from Captain Su? Captain Su is investigating the case at Futai Gambling House."

Su Xinyi immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am his younger brother. Then I will go to the gambling house to find him. Thank you."

Su Xinyi turned around and left. She took a shortcut and arrived at the door of Futai Casino. Her elder brother was talking to someone with a stack of papers in his hand. It looked like the debt contract of the casino's customers.

Such a thick stack, Su Xinyi thought that this casino was really good at making money.

"Brother." Su Xinyi called at the corner.

Su Yi turned around when he heard his sister's voice. When he saw the person, he was stunned. He immediately explained a few words to his colleagues and walked over.

"Qingjin Casino is sealed. How did you get in?"

Su Xinyi didn't expect her elder brother to say this right away. Did she want to say that she got in through a dog hole?

It would affect her image, so of course she didn't mention it. She immediately changed the subject, "I have a good thing for you. You can take it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I believe His Royal Highness needs it."

"What is it?" Su Yi was indeed led astray by his sister and forgot what he had asked before.

Su Xinyi took out the paper Zeng Liang gave her and handed it to her eldest brother, "This is the address of Ma Rude's private warehouse. I heard that a batch of private salt seemed to have just been stored in the warehouse. I took people to check and it should be possible to intercept it."

Su Yi:...

"How do you know that His Highness is checking this?"

He is really checking it. Su Xinyi's eyes turned and he immediately said, "What's so difficult to guess? Think about it. Ma Rude was involved in the divorce of my eldest sister. He has unclear ties with the Dongli Palace. The Wu Shun murder case is also related to the Dongli Palace. Isn't it a natural thing to investigate him?"

Su Yi thought it seemed to be right, and then said, "This is really big news. I have to report it to His Highness immediately."

"You go and do your work, eldest brother. I'm leaving too." Su Xinyi was afraid that her eldest brother would catch her and ask about the previous things again, so she quickly wiped the soles of her shoes.

After she ran down a street, she remembered with some regret that she forgot to ask her eldest brother for a pass. Without a pass, she could only crawl out through the dog hole.

Today, I have a connection with the dog hole.

Su Xinyi returned to the original place with a bitter face. As soon as she turned the corner of the alley, she found something wrong. There was someone waiting for her at the place where she came in before!

Su Xinyi didn't expect that her luck was so bad. Now, she couldn't get out of the dog hole.

"Miss Su Liu, why are you here?" Pang Lan happened to lead people to patrol here, and saw Su Xinyi poking her head out, and caught her red-handed.

Su Xinyi:...

After a round, Su Xinyi was sent to the prince by Pang Lan again.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, "Miss Su Liu, we meet again."

"Xinyi meets His Highness, what a coincidence." Su Xinyi said with a stiff smile.

The capital is so small, right? It's normal to meet a few times.

Yan Junchu didn't think it was a coincidence. He spread a piece of paper on the table and looked at Su Xinyi without saying a word.

Su Xinyi:...

I just feel a strange pain on my face.

"I got the news by chance, thinking it might be useful to His Highness, so I wanted to give it to His Highness. But His Highness is so busy, I dare not disturb him, so I asked my elder brother to pass it to His Highness." Su Xinyi said nonsense seriously, anyway, he couldn't let His Highness know that she was deliberately avoiding him.

The prince, who was sitting by the railing, was dressed in formal clothes, less casual than usual, and more cold and murderous. The sun fell on him, and his cold jade-like face was cold and indifferent, unattainable.

"Really? That's really a coincidence." Yan Junchu said lightly. It's not just one or two days since he checked Futai Casino. Ma Rude, who has a close relationship with Futai Casino, is naturally on the list that the prince wants to check.

I didn't expect that Su Xinyi had already checked Ma Rude's private vault. In comparison, the people in the East Palace were one step slower.

What Yan Junchu couldn't understand was that Su Xinyi had just returned to the Duke of Qi's Mansion not long ago, and should not be very familiar with the capital, but the fact was just the opposite.

Just like the place where Ma Rude's private storehouse is located, it is a very secret and secluded place. Even people who live in the capital for a long time, if they don't like to socialize, may not know that there is such a place.

Su Xinyi pretended to be stupid. What else could she do if she didn't pretend to be stupid?

"If your highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave first." Su Xinyi felt that if she stayed, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but confess to the prince. It would be unbearable to lie to such a good highness.

"Miss Su Liu, don't you want to go to Ma Rude's private storehouse?" Yan Junchu saw that she wanted to run again, so he threw a bait. Sure enough, he saw her tangled look, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Su Xinyi was really in a dilemma. She wanted to go but didn't dare to. While she was hesitating, she heard the prince say again: "Ma Rude set up a trap for Duke Qin and sent his daughter to Shi Zhongqian as a concubine, forcing your sister to divorce..."

"I'll go." Su Xinyi couldn't let the prince continue. If he continued, she might want to pick up a big knife and stab Ma Rude a few times.

Yan Junchu stood up when he heard it, "Then let's go. We can still get back before curfew."

So Su Xinyi followed the prince out the door, and then saw Wu Shun standing in the guards. Wu Shun also widened his eyes and couldn't believe it when he saw her.

Another person with a surprised face was Su Yi. What's going on?

Didn't the sixth sister leave?

Su Xinyi didn't know what else she could do except keep smiling.

She was really in a difficult situation.

Su Xinyi rode a horse parallel to the prince. She couldn't compare with the prince, but the prince had something to ask her, so she had to follow.

"It takes half an hour to ride there from here, is that okay, Miss Six?"

"No problem." Su Xinyi nodded, "Your Highness, are you only taking so few people? Aren't you going to confiscate Ma Rude's private treasury?"

Yan Junchu shook his head, "Didn't you say before that a batch of private salt had just been put into the warehouse? Let's control the people first and see if anyone else bumps into us."

Huh?

Just like the soldiers waiting for her in front of the dog hole, this can be regarded as waiting for Ma Rude's accomplice.

"Your Highness is indeed wise, it is indeed a good idea." Su Xinyi said immediately, she didn't expect that she could still cast a line to fish.

"Then is the sixth lady interested in joining us?"

"Can I?" Su Xinyi was eager to move, it is better to come out and do something than to stay at home and embroider.

"Of course." Yan Junchu had a smile on his face. This person didn't know how many things he had mixed up, but he didn't even think he had any credit.

He was resolute and decisive in doing things, but he seemed to have never thought of competing for credit.

The people in the Duke of Qi's Mansion were indeed of the same lineage.

A bunch of idiots.

Su Xinyi thought it was quite novel. She had never had this experience before, and she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be willing to take her to do this kind of thing.

"Your Highness, if people know about this, will it be bad for you? After all, I don't hold an official position." Su Xinyi asked with some concern. She could betray Prince Rong's people without blinking an eye, but she couldn't betray His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Sixth Miss provided such an important clue, and also made great contributions in the Wu Shun murder case. She has contributed a lot to the affairs of the court, so she can naturally participate." Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, "When this case is closed, I will also ask for rewards based on merits, and naturally Sixth Miss will have a share."

Su Xinyi:...

She doesn't need these, but this feeling makes it difficult for her to refuse. She doesn't want to follow the old path of her previous life. She doesn't want to get married when she is old, and then be locked up in the inner house and intrigue with others.

I didn't know how to go my own way before, but now it seems that I have a little direction.

Su Xinyi turned her head to look at the Crown Prince, and she said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a good person. If it were someone else, they would definitely not want a woman like her to appear in the merit book.

Su Xinyi didn't know what to say, so she could only say dryly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, "This is what the Sixth Miss deserves, no need to thank me. Once Ma Rude's private warehouse is found to have smuggled salt in and out, the Sixth Miss will know that it will implicate the Qin Guogong Mansion, right?"

Su Xinyi nodded.

"If the Qin Guogong Mansion is questioned, although your sister has divorced Shi Zhongqian, they still have a daughter, so they should make plans in advance."

Su Xinyi was shocked when she heard this. What does Your Highness mean by this?
