Su Xinyi did not need help and said with a smile: "It's just a little thief. The commander and Lord Qian should hurry up and put out the fire."
The fire at the dock has alarmed everyone. The people in charge of the dock rushed over in a hurry. With so many things burned, is it going to ruin everything?
Of course, we can't let people run away. We must stop the person who set the fire and pay for it!
The people on the dock were in a mess with the people under Jinglue, and the excitement there was much more lively than here.
Jie Jing glanced at Su Xinyi briefly. This sixth girl was not a person who acted on her own initiative. When she said this, she really didn't need help.
The Bible Expositor immediately said: "In this case, we will take the first step, Miss Six is free to do as she pleases."
Su Xinyi nodded and watched them leave, then stared at the assassin on the ground, "How much did Ma Rude give you? I'll give you double, how about you go and kidnap Ma Rude and hand him over to me? If double doesn't work, triple will do." ,think about it?"
assassin:……
Su Xinyi hooked the rope with one foot and pulled the assassin up so that he could sit down. She herself sat cross-legged on the other side. She looked at the fire in the distance, "Look, you burned down other people's warehouses to kill people. How many people did it because of this?" Your actions are ruining everything? Did you see the group of people crying over there? Who would dare to argue with the officers and soldiers if they weren’t too desperate?”
The man in black lowered his head and did not look, remaining silent.
Su Xinyi chuckled lightly, "If you couldn't survive, you wouldn't do something like being an assassin, which is so shady and could put your life in danger at any time, right?"
The man in black was as tough as a mountain and didn't say a word.
"This person can't survive but wants to live hard. There are many ways to go. I just have time today to give you two examples."
Man in black:……
"I met two children who were beggars at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Do you know why?" Su Xinyi asked.
The man in black couldn't bear it any longer, "There are so many beggars in the world, how can I ask them one by one why you are a beggar?"
"What you said makes sense. Just like I don't know why you became an assassin. You are still a bad assassin. As soon as you take action, you become the defeated one. It's really a negative example. You can't even compare to two children. Then The father and mother of the two children died at the hands of the Tatars. They survived and fled with the crowd. They walked and walked until they reached the capital and were about to starve to death. An old beggar saw that they were pitiful and saved them. The old beggar had nothing else to do, so he took the two of them and continued to be beggars."
The man in black gradually became a little more interested when he heard this, but he couldn't bear to ask further questions.
"The two children deeply remembered the death of their parents and were determined to avenge them when they grew up. Even when they became beggars, they did not forget their original vows. It happened that I went to check things and met the old beggar. The old beggar helped me and asked me One request, let me send two children to join the army."
When Su Xinyi said this, she turned to look at the man in black, "The two children knew that I promised to send them to join the army, so they knew that they would reciprocate by handing me a certificate of submission and helping me get what I needed. Although they are young, they are ambitious and can do a lot of work." Beggars do not forget their parents' grudges, and they are grateful if they are given a chance. How can you be worse than them? You are not even as good as a child, and other children would rather be a beggar than a beggar. A thief who takes people’s lives!”
The face of the man in black was white with black, and the black was holding fire. His face gradually became distorted, and he looked very scary.
"If you think this is not enough, let me tell you one more thing. There are two brothers and a sister in the family. The younger sister became a concubine for a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, she suddenly died of illness. The older brother did not believe the result, so he secretly investigated and found out that he My sister was killed. In order to avenge my sister, I planned to kill the first wife of this family. Unexpectedly, this person was used by another concubine of this family. The person who killed his sister was not the first wife. But this concubine. But for someone who kidnapped and tried to kill Xun Gui’s wife, before avenging his sister, do you think it’s miserable?”
The expression of the man in black finally changed dramatically. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Xinyi, "Wu Shun? Could it be that you were the one who saved him?"
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Hey, you also know Wu Shun. Yes, I saved the man, and now you have to work like a bull to repay the debt of saving your life. Who is more important than you and Wu Shun? Who is younger? Look, Wu Shun can get ashore smoothly. It’s not difficult for me to save you. Think about cooperating with me?”
After saying this, he paused and looked at the man in black, "You know Wu Shun, it seems that he followed him all the way from the capital. He is a talent for being able to endure it until now."
Man in black:……
He couldn't help but ask: "Why did Princess Dongli promise you not to hold Wu Shun accountable?"
"Hey, you know this. It shows that you are very smart. However, I can't tell you this. This is my ability to make a living."
The man in black was a little autistic and stopped talking.
Su Xinyi looked at him, "Since you know Wu Shun, you should also know how Wu Shun's sister died. In the final analysis, it was because of Yan Yin. Profiteers hoarded Salt Yin to drive up the price of salt, and the common people hated eating some salt. Can you really feel at ease if you can't count the salt particles in the pot, eat the people's flesh, and drink the people's blood?"
The man in black was silent.
Su Xinyi stood up and cut the rope around him with a flash of the blade, "You can go."
The man in black was stunned, "You want to let me go?"
"I already know who sent you here. You are no longer of use to me. What difference does it make if I kill you or not? Besides, for a person like you, killing you will dirty my knife. You are not worthy!"
"Miss Su Liu, do you really think you can investigate the salt permit case by yourself? It's not that I look down on you, but you are a girl, and you have no official position, so why are you involved in these things? Be careful not to lose your life. Do you know who is behind the salt permit case? You can't do it!"
Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows, her eyes lit up, and she had a trick to provoke him!
It seems that she still has some conscience. She cut the rope and let him go. It turned out to be a good bet!
"I can't do it, but there are people in this world that the law can't do it? Isn't it Li Ji?" Su Xinyi sneered.
"You know this too?" The man in black was stunned. He stared at Su Xinyi, and he really didn't know how much she knew.
"That's right, otherwise do you think I came all the way south to travel? I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins. It's only today. If you don't want to turn back, you can get out now. If you want to put down the butcher knife, we can continue to talk."
"I haven't stained the blood of innocent people on my hands." The man in black said.
"You scolded me in front of the monks. Am I not an innocent person? Speak human words! If you want to put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha, be sincere and tell me your story. I'll see if I can save you." Su Xinyi was unhappy. This was not just a lie. He called her a bad guy.
Man in black:...
I was so frustrated that I wanted to roll up my sleeves and fight Su Xinyi again!
"My name is Mu Xing." Mu Xing looked up at Su Xinyi, "I am the guard beside Master Ma."
"Your eyesight is not good at such a young age. How can Ma Rude be a good master?" Su Xinyi said.
Mu Xing took a deep breath and always felt that he had the urge to duel with her.
"It wasn't like this before. He used to be a kind and generous person."
"Time is a butcher knife. Others cut their faces, but he cut his conscience."
Mu Xing couldn't say anything more.
Su Xinyi looked at him suspiciously, "Go on."
Mu Xing:...
Can someone else ask?
"Liangjiang Salt Administration was not ruined by Li Ji. Lu Xiangru before Li Ji was also a greedy person. He sold salt permits as if they were goods. In order to get salt permits, salt merchants had to buy them at high prices. Moreover, sometimes you may not be able to buy them at a high price. It depends on who gave Lu Xiangru something and his intentions."
Su Xinyi had never heard Shang Junyan mention Lu Xiangru. Now when she heard Mu Xing mention it, she took note of it seriously, but she did not show that she knew nothing about this person.
From Mu Xing's words, it can be heard that Lu Xiangru and Li Ji are birds of a feather, but Li Ji is more arrogant than Lu Xiangru. The dirty silver involved in Liangjiang Salt Administration is conservatively estimated to be tens of millions of taels of silver. Su Xinyi's heart trembled slightly.
This number is really shocking.
After Mu Xing told what he knew, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Master Ma once saved my life. It's my bad luck that I fell into your hands this time. I have said everything I know. There is nothing else to say."
Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing's attitude, thought about it seriously, and then said, "What do you want to tell me? You can't really become a Buddha without asking for anything in return?"
Mu Xing was silent for a moment before saying, "I hope that the Sixth Miss will be able to show respect to Master Ma in the future."
"That's impossible."
Mu Xing looked at Su Xinyi in astonishment. How could he not keep his word?
Su Xinyi slowly added, "I'm not the chief judge. I can't be the boss of this matter. However, I think this matter is not without room for reversal. You followed me all the way to kill me. I guess it has something to do with the raid on Ma Rude's private warehouse in the capital."
"I don't want to kill you, I want to take things back from you."
"Oh, those guide papers?"
Mu Xing nodded.
Su Xinyi smiled at Mu Xing, and Mu Xing felt his scalp tighten, and he felt something was wrong.
"The things are no longer with me. They have been handed over to the government."
Mu Xing:...
"How is that possible? Are you lying to me?"
How could it be handed over to the government so quickly?
"The court ordered a thorough investigation of the salt permit case, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to inspect it. The Duke Qin's mansion was confiscated and the Duke Qin was imprisoned. Didn't Ma Rude run away after hearing this news? Since you know Wu Shun, you should know some of the roots of Wu Shun's case. The Duke Qin's mansion has fallen, so can the concubine An of the Dongli Palace still run away? At that time, the case of Wu Shun's sister's murder will also be thoroughly investigated. Since you are Ma Rude's bodyguard, how could you not know these things?"
Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing's face, which kept changing, and wondered if Mu Xing didn't know about the Dongli Palace?
"Did you give the things to His Royal Highness?"
"You talk too much. In a word, if you are willing to turn from evil to good, then from now on, I will lead you. If you are going down this road, then I will send you off." Su Xinyi didn't have time to waste with him.
"Master Ma saved my life..."
"I know that a life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring, but Ma Rude is deeply involved in the salt permit case, and he can't be saved. Since you are so loyal, if you turn from evil to good now, you may have the spare energy to take care of the Ma family in the future. Otherwise, when the salt permit case is thoroughly investigated, the Ma family will inevitably collapse, and then the Ma family will have the most difficult time. Repaying a favor also depends on where to repay it. Good steel should be used on the blade, and your life-saving grace should be saved for the Ma family."
Su Xinyi raised her foot and left after she finished speaking. She really said too much. If Mu Xing was not very useful to her, she would not have spent so much effort.
This business is not only a waste of knife but also a waste of mouth.
Mu Xing looked at the back of Miss Su Liu, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.
On the other side, Jie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi, who were covered in dust, led everyone to appease the merchants and put out the fire. Just as they took a breath, they saw Su Xinyi walking over, followed by an assassin with a frown.
Huh?
"Miss Liu, what's going on?" Fan Pengchi pointed at the person behind him and asked, who was shouting and killing before, and wanted to kill people, why is he so obedient now?
"Oh, the new guard."
Fan Pengchi:?
Jie Jinglue:?
Say it again!
Su Xinyi said seriously: "Mu Xing was moved by my sincerity and decided to give up the dark and join the light, put down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha on the spot."
Believe you!
Mu Xing's mouth twitched. He saw what it means to say what people say to people and what ghosts say to ghosts!
He was obviously half-forced, half-threatened, and bribed to surrender.
Su Xinyi suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Xing, "Let me introduce you, this is the commander of Pingning Guard, Jie, and this is Fan, the assistant."
Mu Xing took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and then stepped forward to greet, "I greet the commander, the assistant."
Jie Jinglüe stared at Su Xinyi in silence.
Su Xinyi kept a gentle and kind smile, "It's mainly to recognize the face. I guess I have to stay in Huaining for a few days. If there is anything, I will ask the commander to help me, so that Mu Xing won't be beaten out."
Jie Jinglüe was amused, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Okay, for the sake of the sixth lady's help."
"It's not necessarily just this. If Mu Xing is exiled to the commander's territory in the future, please take care of him."
Everyone: ...
Jie Jinglüe was really convinced. This Su Xinyi really deserves to be Su Chun's offspring.
Fan Pengchi understood now, and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You have a guard and you are in danger of exile?"
He was already open-minded to be able to take the person who assassinated her as a guard. Unexpectedly, this guard could be exiled, which is also a strange thing.
Su Xinyi said, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. He must be punished for breaking the law. As for whether he will be exiled in the future, it depends on whether his merits can offset each other. Isn't this a foresight, to prepare for a rainy day."
Jie Jinglue understood that Miss Su Liu was using his official power as a whetstone to tell Mu Xing to warn him.
How could she do such a sophisticated thing at such a young age? Is the blood of the Su family so powerful?
Why did the Duke of Qi grow up crooked?
Or was it that the Feng Shui was given to Su Chun's family?
Su Xinyi turned to look at Mu Xing, "Recognize your friend and hand him over to Commander Jie, then follow me."
Mu Xing nodded and walked towards the group of people tied up.
Fan Pengchi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Sixth Miss, can you tell me what case this is?"
Handing the people over to them, isn't that giving credit to them? Of course I have to ask clearly.
Su Xinyi smiled very innocently, "Didn't Fan Chenshi know about it when he was in the capital? It was the major case supervised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Fan Pengchi was shocked and blurted out, "Salt permit case?"
Su Xinyi smiled, "These people are Ma Rude's people."
Fan Pengchi was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He looked at Su Xinyi carefully. It was incredible that he didn't see it. He couldn't help asking, "Didn't Ma Rude run away? Did you destroy his family? Otherwise, he hated you so much that he wanted someone to kill you?"
"It's about the salt permit case. It's not convenient to disclose the specific details." Su Xinyi spread his hands, "Please forgive me, both adults."
Fan Pengchi was convinced.
After Su Xinyi took Mu Xing, who had chosen the people, away, he bared his teeth and looked at his own commander and said, "This Su Liu girl doesn't look like she grew up in the countryside. She looks like a reincarnated fairy who has practiced cultivation. She is so cunning. What a pity. If it were a boy, the Duke of Qi's Mansion would surely be able to reproduce the glory of the Su Siye when he was alive."
Jie Jinglue stared at Su Xinyi's back from a distance, and then said to Fan Pengchi, "Su Liu girl gave us this great gift. It seems that she will definitely make a move in Liangjiang. This is to protect her."
If you take someone's benefits, you have to do something.
Moreover, this benefit is not an ordinary benefit. The salt permit case has caused the anger of His Majesty. Ma Rude is on the run, and they have captured Ma Rude's people and handed them over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is a great achievement, and it can also establish a relationship with the Eastern Palace.
Jie Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. This Su Xinyi is not simple.
When Su Chun was this age, he was probably not as calculating as his daughter.
Is this called a disciple surpassing his father?
Jie Jinglue thought of his own child. If he could grow up to be half as smart as Miss Su Liu, he would be relieved.
Su Xinyi took Mu Xing to the Su Mansion. After walking for a while, she remembered that she didn't know the way. She looked at Mu Xing and asked, "Su Mansion, do you know where it is?"
Mu Xing:...
He nodded and led the way silently.
When Su Xinyi and Mu Xing turned the corner and went to the main road in the city, they heard people riding horses in the distance. From a distance, there were more than a dozen people, which looked very imposing in the dark night.
Su Xinyi took Mu Xing to the side, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her reined in his horse and turned over. He looked at her and asked politely, "Are you Miss Su Liu?"
Su Xinyi knew that it should be someone from the family, and immediately said, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I am your cousin Su Deng. I heard that the sixth sister was still at the dock, so my father asked me to take someone to pick up my sister. I didn't expect that I was still a step late. Please don't blame me."
Su Xinyi didn't have much impression of Su Deng. In her previous life, she had no contact with the Huaining Su family. She only heard a few things about Huaining from her mother. Now she looks tall and mighty, with clear eyebrows and eyes. It seems that all the Su family members have good looks.
"So it's my cousin. Xinyi is rude. Please forgive me, brother." Su Xinyi said immediately.
Mu Xing looked at Su Xinyi, who looked like a good girl in front of her family. It was hard to reconcile her with the person who had beaten him to the ground before.
It's not a loss for such a pretentious person to be defeated by her.
After recognizing the relatives, Su Deng asked someone to let go of the horse and took Su Xinyi home, telling her about the situation in the mansion while walking.
Su Xinyi listened quietly. The old house in Huaining had been divided ten years ago because of the increasing number of clan members. However, the house was not divided. Everyone still lived in the old house, but each room took care of their own expenses.
Su Xinyi listened quietly. She knew that Su Deng was the eldest grandson of the third uncle's family. Su Xinyi knew this. Her mother had told her that they came this time to entrust the eldest sister and her daughter to the third uncle's grandmother, so she was naturally more polite.
Su Deng looked at her little cousin who was well-behaved, and said with a smile: "There are many fun places in Huaining. Sixth sister rarely comes here. Let Meng Yu take you out to play later."
Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, "Okay, I will trouble Sister Meng Yu when the time comes."
That's right, even if she returned to the old house, Su Xinyi was still the younger one.
When she walked into the alley where the Su family's old house was located, Su Xinyi saw that the Su family occupied most of the street. The lanterns hanging under the eaves were red, which seemed to illuminate the night.
Su Xinyi finally understood why her fourth sister wanted to come so much when she mentioned the old house.
The Duke of Qi's Mansion was already one of the top nobles in the capital, but it was not as spacious and grand as the old house, like a giant beast lying here.
Su Deng led Su Xinyi in through the main gate. The servants who were shuttling back and forth in the old house greeted the two of them. Su Deng smiled and said to Su Xinyi: "It's too late today, so I didn't disturb others. I'll invite everyone to come and recognize my relatives tomorrow."
Su Xinyi naturally nodded and followed Su Deng through the cross-border hanging flower gate into the inner courtyard, where it was even more lively.
Su Xinyi had walked a few steps when she heard someone coming over here. She looked up and saw a girl in a yellow dress greet her with a smile on her face, "Big brother, have you brought back the sixth sister?"
Su Deng smiled and said, "Of course, big brother, you can trust me."
After Su Deng finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Xinyi, "Sixth sister, this is your sister Mengyu."
Su Xinyi stepped forward to greet her, "Xinyi greets sister Mengyu."
Su Mengyu lifted Su Xinyi up and looked at her and said, "I got the news earlier and knew that the sixth sister was coming, so I have been looking forward to it. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, I'll take you in. "
Su Mengyu's personality is very lively and cute. She was not shy when holding Su Xinyi's hand. Su Xinyi let her hold her and walked with her, listening to her laughing as she walked: "Sister Xihua and Sister Zhizhen have been looking forward to you. I thought you would arrive tomorrow, but you arrived early. If they knew I saw you first, they would definitely envy me."
Su Xinyi didn't quite understand this feeling. She was actually a concubine's daughter, but from Su Mengyu's words and attitude, there was no rejection or dislike at all.
Other big families fought hard for legitimate and illegitimate children, but their old Su family seemed to be different. It was also the case in the Qiguogong Mansion in the capital. The third lady didn't like Aunt Weng, but she was also good to Su Xixian.
Su Xinyi thought that since everyone got along so well, she wouldn't be afraid of future troubles when she did something here in the future.

The 6,000-word update is complete, and will continue tomorrow. My dear little cuties, and I’m asking for monthly votes by the way. Thank you all.
