Qi Wenfu's eyes froze, and his gaze sharpened a little.

"I don't understand what you're asking."

"Do you not understand, or do you not want to say?"

Su Ruan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Wenfu, his face was still that delicate and good-looking, but what he said made his face change and change.

"Why did Dayan have been in good weather for many years, and the household department had no money for disaster relief, so many people starved to death during the drought in Jingnan two years ago?"

"Why is it that there was a great drought in April, my father wrote to the court early to ask the emperor for disaster relief, but it was not until mid-July that the disaster relief official food was distributed from Beijing, and it was still dug in the turbulence when passing through the Nanhe River."

"Is it really because of the deficit in the household, or is someone deliberately delaying."

"Is the official ship carrying grain on it, or is it just a disguise?"

Su Ruan's eyes were obviously not sharp, but his words were like knives, cutting people inch by inch.

"I once asked Xie Yuan why my father died."

"He said that my father was infected with the epidemic, the situation was critical, and the army was overwhelmed, and he had to do it as a last resort in order to save the lives of 100,000 soldiers and people in Jingnan, but if it was really just because of this, why would my father bear the charge afterwards, and those who defended the city with him to death, why couldn't they get the glory they deserved."

"Is it because they really defended the city and died for the sake of justice, or because they just fell victim to others from beginning to end?"

She looked up at Qi Wenfu:

"Xie Yuan won't tell me, so I'll ask Lord Qi."

"If you can tell me the answer, then I can naturally give you the account book, but if you can't, then why should I give you what my father bought in exchange for his life to save those who may harm him in vain?"

Qi Wenfu's pupils shrank, and his originally calm face finally changed.

He took half a step forward and looked closely at Su Ruan, who was only shoulder-high and looked petite and thin, and said in a deep voice:

"Are you doing it on purpose?!"

Su Ruan looked at him quietly.

Qi Wenfu squinted slightly and said:

"You already know what the people who chased and killed you in Jingnan wanted at the beginning, and you even know that the fact that Xuanping Hou went to Jingnan can't be hidden at all."

"Even if he wipes your identity cleanly, once something happens in Beijing, when someone investigates carefully, it will definitely be found on the head of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."

"That day, you made a big wedding banquet and let people know about your existence in front of everyone, and later you knew that someone instigated Xie Qingyang to smash your father's tablet, and you even knew that there were outside spies in your house, but you still exposed the news of your biological father in public."

"You just want to tell everyone that Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter are in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."

"Are you using yourself as bait to catch someone who was related to Jingnan's affair in the first place?!"

The more Qi Wenfu spoke, the more cold his face became, but when he said the end, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed:

"That's not right."

"If you really know this, you should know how much trouble you will have if you let people know that you are in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."

"Marquis Xuanping concealed Chen's identity and welcomed him into the palace, although he crossed the road in front of the emperor, he never told the emperor that the widow he took was Su Xuanmin's widow."

"And if you really want to use yourself as bait, and you want to save yourself and your mother's lives, so that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion does not fall into this dispute, there must be someone who is enough to contain those who wanted to take the lives of your mothers and daughters in Jingnan before and kill you."

Qi Wenfu raised his head sharply and looked at Su Ruan.

Chen Anning, the right attendant of the household department, committed suicide in the house, leaving evidence directly at the second assistant Nanyuan Mountain.

The Nan family has been inherited for several generations, and its status in Beijing is majestic and has a very strong heritage, and if Nan Yuanshan wants to clear his suspicion and protect himself, he will definitely not let Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter, who are holding the account book, die.

As long as Nan Yuanshan is there, even if Su Ruan and Chen's identities are really exposed, let people know that she holds the account book in her hand, the Nan family will keep her safe, but Su Ruan can use herself and the account book to lure out everyone related to Jing Nan's affairs.

At that time, under the competition between the two sides, Su Ruan's mother and daughter and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will become the safest place.

So......

Nan Yuanshan is the one chosen by Su Ruan to contain those people?!

Qi Wenfu's brows were furrowed so much that he could almost kill flies, and looked at Su Ruan and said word by word:

"So you are using yourself as bait, using the Xuanping Marquis Mansion as a bureau, leading people to investigate your father's death and Jingnan's affairs, and you want Nanyuan Mountain to be your backer?"

Su Ruan looked at Qi Wenfu and guessed her purpose in three or two sentences, and even said everything she had done before, without panicking at all.

She just tilted her head slightly and said:

"I do want to find a backer, but it's not Nanyuanshan."

"If my father's death is really not a plague, but involves other things, the truth that even Xie Yuan doesn't dare to say must not be so simple."

"Nan Yuanshan, as the second assistant, is second only to Shen Xiang in power in the court, and I heard that this second assistant master knows how to judge the situation the most, and he doesn't like trouble, he does need the account books in my hand, but he may not stand up for my father."

"If I take the account book and threaten him, at most, I will only harm Nan Yuanshan and the Nan family, and let them threaten me with the lives of the Marquis of Xuanping and my mother."

When Qi Wenfu heard Su Ruan's words, he was stunned, he never thought that the bold little girl in front of him would see it so clearly.

He looked at her with a frown:

"Since you know that the Nan family will not stand up for you, why do you do this?"

Su Ruan looked at Qi Wenfu's face full of doubts, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

"Because of you."

Qi Wenfu was stunned.

I heard the little girl in front of me say to him as if she was talking about what to eat today, and the sun is good:

"I have always known that the Nan family will not stand up for me, and what I want the Nan family to do is to let them contain those people for a few days, so that they dare not act against the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at will."

"You're the one I want to help me."

"The people I want to bring here to see me from beginning to end are all you, Qi Wenfu."

Rao is Qi Wenfu has always been unfazed, and at this time, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

His heart was twisted into a ball of twine, like a cat's paw scratching around, and he opened his mouth slightly.

Qi Wenfu was silent for a long time before he calmed down, looked at Su Ruan and said, "You mean, you want me to help you find out about your father and Jing Nan?" ”

Su Ruan nodded.

"Why?"

Qi Wenfu looked at her like that:

"Nan Yuanshan has something to do with this matter, you still know that he may stay out of the matter, regardless of the life or death of you and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, why do you think I will ask for trouble to help you."

"Even if I want the account books, as long as I know that it is in your hands, I have another way to force you to hand it over."

"You said that you deliberately brought me here to see you, and you said so much to me, you are so sure that I will not do the same thing as those people to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for the sake of the account books?"
