160: Su Xinyi, the Debt Collector

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Xinyi returned to her yard and kept thinking about Yan Qiongsi's abnormality. She always felt that Yan Qiongsi didn't seem to be seeking death easily and would force her to marry him in public.

This kind of thing would be a huge blow to her reputation. With her scheming mind, she would not plan such a harmful behavior.

That's a bit strange. What's going on?

Su Xinyi didn't know why, but she received a letter from Su Deng, and she suddenly became excited.

Some time ago, Su Deng and Su Qi took the Crown Prince and Prince Rong's people to Yulin Guard. Counting the days, it was almost here. She opened the letter and read it slowly.

The letter was quite detailed and focused on three points. The first was that the people in the East Palace and the people in King Rong were really not in tune with each other. The second point was that Mu Xing was about to arrive at Yulin Guard with the caravan he had pulled. The third point is that they set their foothold in a remote warning earthen fort outside Yulin Guard. Because there were so many of them, it would be inconvenient to set their foothold in Yulin Guard City.

Su Xinyi was a little surprised by the third point, but since they had decided so, although it was not written in the letter, she could guess that the Yulin Guards would not welcome their blatant entry.

After all, they pass through Yulinwei to do business with the grassland tribes. Although everyone knows that they have tokens, this kind of thing cannot be made public. Night pearls should not be exposed to sunlight.

There are many earthen forts outside the Yulin Guards. This kind of earthen fort is actually an enemy tower. It has two floors inside, with long logs running across the middle. The outer wall is reinforced with gravel, with windows on all sides and doors for entry and exit on the east and west sides. The underground level of the earthen fort was inhabited by people, and the upper level stored firewood and wolf dung. Its function was to warn the city of enemy sneak attacks.

Su Xinyi had seen it in Yulinwei. He estimated that it would be a bit difficult for all the people to live in it. Since it was an abandoned earthen fortress, it was very likely that Su Deng and the others would have to expand it.

Fortunately, with His Majesty's approval and the Crown Prince and Prince Rong's blessing, Yulin Guards will naturally secretly transport supplies. With a stable place to stay, other things can be arranged in an orderly manner.

As for the discord between the prince and King Rong, Su Xinyi was not worried at all. It would be scary if they were really harmonious.

By restraining and supervising each other in this way, the Su family can act perfectly.

However, the caravan led by Mu Xing was about to arrive at Yulinwei, but he didn't send a letter back to him. This was a bit puzzling. Could it be that he was delayed on the way?

It was useless for Su Xinyi to think about this. She wrote a reply to Su Deng, which was nothing more than telling them to be cautious when entering the grassland. Also, if there was any surplus in the exchange, they could give some to the Yulin Guards.

They are short-tongued and soft-handed. With the benefits of the caravan, the officers and soldiers of Yulin Guard will naturally take more care of them.

Yulinwei was poor and the people were living a hard life. Su Xinyi thought of this and thought of something else. He could ask Mu Xing to bring some daily necessities to the people of Yulinwei when he was transporting goods from south to west.

But if this is the case, the size of the caravan will have to be expanded. At present, the caravan has not yet gone to the grassland, so this matter can only be suppressed for the time being, and they can only make plans after they clear the road and find out the situation.

Su Xinyi stopped writing, and it took a long time to finish writing the reply. After the ink dried, she sealed the envelope.

She could receive letters from Brother Sudeng, and there would definitely be letters sent back from the Crown Prince and Prince Rong. She would just use His Highness the Crown Prince's messenger to send the letters back to Yulin Guard.

Su Xinyi felt that this was feasible. After thinking about it, he had nothing to do at home, so he went to Yang Jin to ask.

"Girl, are you going out?" As soon as Grandma She came back, she bumped into the girl who had changed her clothes and walked out.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Mommy is back. I have something to do and I have to go out. You can rest quickly."

Grandma She couldn't laugh or cry, "Old slave is not a piece of paper, how can I rest all the time? It's getting late, girl, so I have to come back early."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement, waved and left.

Su Xinyi went out and took a carriage. This time he did not ride a horse. After all, it was a bit conspicuous not to wear men's clothes.

If you want to go directly to Yang Jin, you have to go to the East Palace, which is not very convenient.

Su Xinyi simply went to the intersection outside Yang Jin's house to wait for him. She was not idle while waiting. She counted the time and went to Qingjinfang again. Zeng Liang hadn't given her any news about what happened last time. No. I'll forget it.

When Zeng Liang saw Su Xinyi, he said angrily: "I came to collect the debt, but I haven't gotten it yet."

Su Xinyi wondered: "So slow?"

"It's not easy to check. Daling Temple is the territory of the monks. If you don't have any of your own, you won't have to put in some effort." Zeng Liang said slowly, squinting his eyes.

Su Xinyi understood. The great monk was also very territorial. He must be very wary if someone came to ask about the affairs of the temple. She said: "There is no rush anyway. You can check it slowly. Just remember to tell me if you find out." OK. I have other things to do, so I have to take a step forward."

Zeng Liang waved his hand, "Just go and do your work."

Su Xinyi calculated the time and did not dare to delay, so she got in the car and went to block Yang Jin again.

It was a coincidence that before Su Xinyi reached the intersection, she saw Yang Jin walking on the road. She quickly asked the driver to stop the car. She raised the curtain and shouted, "Mr. Yang."

Yang Jin was thinking about something when he was startled by someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Miss Su Liu. She hurriedly walked over and stood in front of the car and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the county lord. What are you doing here?"

Su Xinyi looked at him with a smile, "I came specifically to see Mr. Yang. I have something to ask you."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. If the county master has anything to say, just give him direct orders." Yang Jin said immediately.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask if your highness has a letter sent to Yulin Guard recently. Could you please help me send a letter to my cousin Su Deng?" Su Xinyi said.

"Of course it's a small matter, don't worry, County Lord." Yang Jin thought it was something, and he sent a letter, of course.

Su Xinyi took out the letter and handed it to Yang Jin, "Then I'll thank you, Mr. Yang."

Yang Jin reached out to take the letter and put it into his sleeve pocket, "The county master is very polite. It's just a matter of convenience."

After Su Xinyi finished his work, he said to Yang Jin: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Yang and go home. Take my leave."

"County Lord, walk slowly." Yang Jin said.

Su Xinyi lowered the curtain, the carriage rolled, and soon left Yang Jin behind.

Yang Jin felt that the head of Yong'an County was interesting, and he had a good relationship with their highnesses. If he came to him for such a trivial matter, he would just ask their highnesses directly.

He didn't take it seriously and went to the East Palace for duty the next day, and then reported the matter back to His Highness.

Yan Junchu put down the pen in his hand, looked at Yang Jin and asked, "Apart from the letter, didn't you say anything else?"

Yang Jin shook his head, "No."

Yan Junchu lowered his head again, "Go down."

Yang Jin was a little confused and couldn't quite figure it out. What else? What else?

After Yang Jin retreated, Yan Junchu finished writing the official document in his hand and put down his pen. He snorted. The person who lent him the money was familiar with the road. He even blocked the intersection to see if she came to see him.

Thanks to her, I sowed some seeds in Yulinwei, which became a glorious act of understanding the people's sentiments, enjoying themselves with the people, and understanding the people's hardships.

Yan Junchu stood in front of the window with his hands folded, his green clothes fluttering, his face like jade, his black eyes staring into the distance, and the floating dark colors in his eye shadow seemed to have a layer of frost, which made people dare not make mistakes.

*

On the other side, there was also a commotion in the Prince's Mansion of Guangping County. The Princess locked up Shaoyao and Begonia in the woodshed and interrogated them. After they were covered with bruises, they confessed to the Princess about supporting the ji.

The Princess of Guangping County was trembling with anger, "How can something like supporting a squirrel be played casually? The princess doesn't know the importance, but you slaves don't stop them. Someone comes and sells them out."

"Princess Princess, please spare your life. I know I was wrong."

"Madam, please spare your life. I will never dare to do this again next time."

Shaoyao and Haitang kowtowed loudly, and in an instant blood started to flow from their foreheads, which was very unpleasant when it was smeared on their faces.

The princess of Guangping County didn't even look at her, she was gagged and dragged out, and she said to the people around her: "Choose a few smart and worry-free servants for the princess. If something like this happens again, none of them will be able to escape. "

"yes."

The princess of Guangping County fluttered her sleeves and walked away. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said, "Go and get the sand table and other things that the princess used to hold the si in Biyang Palace, and then ask someone to go to Andinghou Mansion to invite Miss Xu. I I should ask her carefully."

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl hurried over and said, "Princess, the princess is awake."

As soon as the princess of Guangping County heard this, she immediately walked to her daughter's yard, walking through flowers and willows. When she entered the door, she saw her daughter sitting on a soft pillow, her face was pale and her whole body was exhausted. I suddenly felt very distressed.

"My son, why don't you lie down and have a good rest? What are you doing when you get up?" The princess hurriedly walked over and helped her daughter to lie down.

Yan Qiongsi grabbed her mother's hand, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with tears, "Mom, did I really do something that forced me to marry with death?"

Princess Guangping's heart sank when she heard what her daughter said, and she immediately said: "Everything is in the past, it doesn't matter, my mother will take care of the aftermath for you, and no one will remember it soon."

Yan Qiongsi murmured: "How could you not remember? How could you not remember?"

"Don't worry, as long as you marry Shang Junyan, no matter how hard you are forced to marry, these are all things of the past. My mother will discuss the marriage between the two families with the Princess of Pingjing County." The Princess of Guangping County comforted her daughter and said with a smile.

Yan Qiongsi was in a daze, as if she didn't hear her mother's words.

The princess of Guangping County felt even more distressed when she saw him, "Don't think about these things, take good care of your health first."

"Mom, I didn't want to do this, but I didn't know what was going on at the time. I felt like I was possessed by a demon. I wanted to force Brother Shang to marry me immediately. Believe me, I don't want to force him to marry me. It would be so embarrassing. How could I do such a thing?" Yan Qiongsi covered her face and cried. She has always been meticulous and considerate in everything she did, and rarely left anything to say.

Only this time, it didn't seem like something she could do.

The princess of Guangping County did not dare to ask her daughter before, for fear that she would be irritated again. Now that her daughter mentioned it herself, she hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what is going on?"

"I don't know. When I heard Brother Shang telling people that he had nothing to do with me, I suddenly felt angry. I just thought about how he could have nothing to do with me. We were obviously very close when we were young, but he treated me so well. I always take care of him. It’s like... I’m crazy, I want him to regret it, and I want him to marry me. I didn’t even know what I was doing at the time, I was just confused, mother, do you understand? "

The princess of Guangping County didn't quite understand. If it hadn't been her own daughter who said this, she would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense and trying to get away with it.

But her daughter's expression was so serious that she suddenly remembered the fuqi thing again, looked at her daughter and asked: "What fuqi did you learn from Xu Yurong? What exactly did you ask?"

Yan Qiongsi's face turned even paler when he heard this, and he held his mother's hand even harder, "Mom, the fuji is really accurate. I asked it if Shang and I could make it work, and it said no. I asked it again about Shang. "Whether the eldest brother likes me or not, he says he doesn't."

Princess Guangping's eyes twitched. Is it really so effective?

"Then I finally asked it, Great Immortal, how can I win Shang Junyan's heart? Do I really have to do something he regrets before he will change his mind? Mother, it answered, yes."

The princess of Guangping County only felt ridiculous. She looked at her daughter and said, "If this fuji is really so effective, I'm afraid the incense in Daling Temple won't even be able to be burned in the queue."

"Mom, but it really answered."

The princess of Guangping County was also a little worried. Is it really effective?

"You should have a good rest first, and I will tell you after my mother finds out. I have already sent people to bring the sand table and other items you used in Biyang Palace. I will try it myself to know whether it is true or false."

Yan Qiongsi was very confused and nodded randomly. She was completely embarrassed by the current situation and she didn't know what to do in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he simply covered his head and fell back on the couch, unable to hold back his sobs and started crying again.

The princess of Guangping County comforted her daughter for a long time before putting her to sleep. She walked out with a sullen face, saying as she walked: "Did you get the things?"

"Here they are, ma'am, do you really want to try? Why don't you try someone else? What if it hurts your precious body?"

The princess of Guangping County thought the same thing, "Bring the peony and begonia back first and let them try it!"

"yes."

The princess of Guangping County went to the room where the sand table was placed. She looked at the simple sand table carefully, even lifting it up to look at the bottom, but she didn't find anything strange.

When Haitang and Shaoyao arrived, she said, "Let's get started."

Haitang and Shaoyao were so frightened that they were trembling all over. The hands holding the crossbar kept shaking, and their faces were pale and green. How could they finish the work completely? The princess of Guangping County angrily cursed "waste" and asked Let others do it for them and let them demonstrate on the side.

When the Princess of Guangping County personally went to the battle to collect blood, she hesitated, but thinking about her daughter, she still pricked it with the needle point, and the room slowly became quiet.

After all the preparations for the princess of Guangping County were completed, the worship began.

"Your Excellency, is there someone who framed Si'er for forcing her into a marriage?"

Five or six people in the room stared at the tip of the cone, but it didn't move.

The princess of Guangping County waited for a while, looked at Shaoyao and asked, "Why doesn't she move?"

Shaoyao was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, "Madam, please forgive me, slave... I really don't know. When the princess was worshiping, the slaves could still hear the sound at first, but then they felt a little confused. There is a white mist, and I can’t hear or see, but now when the lady is doing it, the slave can see clearly, and there is nothing strange at all. The slave... you really don’t know what’s going on?”

Haitang was frightened and nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with Shaoyao's statement.

The princess of Guangping County had a cold look on her face, looked at her friend and said: "You guys hold on, I'll ask another question."

Was the question she asked before a bit difficult?

Putting her hands together, the princess of Guangping County took a breath and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, does my daughter have someone she likes?"

The answer couldn't be simpler, right?

But the tip of the cone still doesn't move!

Shaoyao and Haitang were so frightened that their eyes went dark and they wished they could faint immediately. Now looking at the scene in front of them, they also vaguely felt that something was wrong with the princess supporting the shackles that day.

Haitang suddenly took two steps to the princess of Guangping County and said with a choked voice, "Madam, Miss Xu told the princess about supporting the sienna. At that time, the sand table did give the answer when the princess was supporting the sizu. Why is there no answer now, slave? Although I don’t know why, since Miss Xu knows this Fuji, she must understand.”

It's not like the princess of Guangping County has a daughter who has been in the boudoir all year round. She knows this and is afraid that her daughter will be plotted against.

Could it be Xu Yurong?

She shouldn't be so courageous. The Anding Hou Mansion is now in a state of ruin. Under such circumstances, Xu Yurong will definitely not dare to offend her family. So what is going on?

The princess of Guangping County was extremely angry. If she was found to be the mastermind behind the plot against her daughter, she would make her look good.

"Madam, Miss Xu is here." Class mother opened the door and replied.

The Princess of Guangping County looked at Ban’s mother and asked, “This incident didn’t alarm anyone, did it?”

"Madam, don't worry, I was invited quietly." Ban's mother said immediately.

Princess Guangping nodded, "Bring the people in."

Ban's mother quickly turned around and quickly led Xu Yurong in.

"My daughter has met the Princess of Guangping County." Xu Yurong was a little surprised when he saw the situation in the room. After being surprised, he stepped forward to salute the Princess of Guangping County.

"Miss Xu, please get up. I have called you here today because I want to ask you something. I hope Miss Xu will be familiar with the things here." Princess Guangping's tone was very gentle, and there was no sign of her previous anger. She even had a gentle smile on her lips.

Xu Yurong looked at it carefully and then nodded, "This seems to be the sand table and other things that the court lady prepared for the princess to use in Biyang Palace."

Seeing that Xu Yurong was still honest, the Princess of Guangping County nodded slightly, "I heard the girl next to Qiong Si say that you have done the shackle technique before, and the results are very accurate, right?"

Xu Yurong nodded, "To be honest with you, Princess, I have only done the spirit writing once. You know what happened between me and Princess Yong'an, and you know that she is going back to Beijing from Zhangping Prefecture, so you must be a little upset. I happened to hear about the spirit writing technique, so I played with it. Who knew that after trying it, the results were actually consistent. That day, I saw that the princess was very unhappy, so I introduced this little thing to her to relieve her boredom."

"Really?" Princess Guangping looked at Xu Yurong's sincerity and couldn't tell whether it was true or false. She smiled more cordially, "You are still smart and skillful. The people around me are clumsy. I tried it several times but nothing happened. I think this thing is interesting. Do you know if Miss Xu is willing to give it a try right then and there? "

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with trying. But I have only done it once, and I don't know if it will work today. If it doesn't work, please don't blame me, Princess."

"Of course not, just do it, I just want to open my eyes, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work." Princess Guangping smiled kindly, "Speaking of which, you will marry Bo'er soon, and we will be a family in the future, so don't be nervous."

Xu Yurong blushed slightly, half lowered her head and said nothing, gently walked to the sand table, changed a new piece of paper, pierced her fingertips, squeezed a few drops of blood into the cinnabar, stirred it evenly, and then picked up the pen to write the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the new paper.

Put the paper into the sand table, cover it with a thin layer of sand, wait until the tip of the cone stops moving, then put your hands together to worship, and then ask: "Great Immortal, I sincerely ask for your advice, has my daughter's marriage been decided?"

This question is very simple, everyone present knows that she and Shu Xuebo have set a wedding date.

However, after the question was asked, the tip of the cone still did not move.

Xu Yurong waited for a long time, then looked at the Princess of Guangping County in surprise, "Why doesn't it move? It moved when I worshipped last time."

"Yes, I am also curious, why doesn't it move." The Princess of Guangping County half-closed her eyes and slowly said, "Miss Xu, you said that this method was learned from Daling Temple. I wonder which master in Daling Temple taught you?"

Xu Yurong said: "The Princess of the County can ask someone to go to Daling Temple. Many young monks in the temple know this."

The Princess of Guangping County looked at Xu Yurong and didn't seem to be lying. Such a lie would be exposed with a poke, so is this true?

She turned her eyes, stared at Xu Yurong and said, "Since it is a method passed down from Daling Temple, you have also asked for it before, why is there no response today?"

Xu Yurong shook her head, "I don't know, but I did succeed before. I asked the immortal whether it was good or bad for the Princess of Yong'an County to return to Beijing. At that time, the tip of the cone pointed to the side of the anode, which was a good thing. Later, Miss Su Liu was named the Princess of Yong'an County."

Xu Yurong said it truthfully, and the Princess of Guangping County felt that she didn't dare to lie to herself. After all, this kind of lie would be exposed once it was poked, so what went wrong?

"In this case, Miss Xu, are you willing to accompany me to Daling Temple?" The Princess of Guangping County asked softly.

If Xu Yurong really has a clear conscience, she will naturally be willing to go with her. If she has a guilty conscience, she will definitely find a way to refuse.

Xu Yurong smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I also want to know what happened, so I am willing to accompany the princess to Daling Temple."

The princess of Guangping carefully looked at Xu Yurong's expression and did not see any confusion. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's better to go today than to choose a day."
