XXV. Disclosure

When Su Jili woke up groggily, he found that his hands and feet had already been tied with ropes.

"Where is she?"

Feeling the bumps coming from all around, she couldn't help but whimper.

"Be honestβ€”"

"It's not honest when the mouth is sealed"

The voices of a man and a woman reached her ears, causing her to give up her temporary struggle.

Is she in a carriage?

Force yourself to calm down and try to find clues to escape.

"It's big business again"

"Hmph-I told you last time you blamed me."

"Okay, good, it's me who is too careful, there are so many benefits for catching the wrong person last time, and we can earn it this time"

The proud and coquettish voices and the content of the two people's unsightly conversations together, Su Zhenli felt a little disgusted for a while.

Wait, where did she hear it?

Trying to rummage through similar voices in my head, I finally fixed the time on that begging festival.

A man and a woman on the trellis were their kidnapped brothers.

Su Jili gritted her teeth secretly, it seemed that the kidnappers of her and her brother were the same people, she wanted to see who was so bold.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of horses' hooves stopped ringing in my ears, and the weightlessness on my body gradually faded.

Su Jili couldn't help but hold his breath, waiting for someone in the dark to appear.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke broke in silently, everything in front of them gradually blurred, and the voices of the two seemed to fade away.

――――――――――――――――――――

She was woken up by a basin of cold water, and felt the cold droplets hit her face mercilessly, and her originally somewhat drowsy head immediately sobered up a lot. When I opened my eyes, there were red candles jumping excitedly, and because of their presence, there was still a little light left in the pitch-black environment around them.

"You are Su Wei's daughter?"

Between the light and shadows, a dark purple figure gradually came into view.

The man was about the age of six, wearing an official robe, and his eyes were full of calculations, which seemed to make people lose their favor, Su Jili observed quietly.

"I didn't expect to be an official."

"It's a pity to do such a thing." Su Jili took a sip.

"The little girl is very sharp."

"What a shame"

An inexplicable smile tugged at the corner of the old man's mouth.

"Do you want to know why I arrested you?"

Su Jili glanced at him, speechless.

"It's all because of your dad who opposes me everywhere" The voice suddenly became louder, with a little anger.

"He drove me to a dead end"

"You deserve it."

Su Jili retorted unceremoniously.

"What do you know about a yellow-haired girl?"

"I only know that you are not worthy of being an official, and you are even more ashamed of this official uniform."

"You-" Xu was angry, and there was a tremor in his voice.

"Because you have a personal vendetta with my father, you first kidnapped my brother and then kidnapped me, you are all villains."

"Do you know why you can't fight my father, because he is not a little bit nobler than you."

"Your brother?" Chu Ru laughed angrily, and his old fox-like eyes narrowed casually.

"Oh...... That's the boy."

"Tut-tut, it's a shame that you still maintain him like this, you don't know that you were sold by him, and you help him count the money."

"I don't believe it, you don't want to sow discord at will," Su Jili sneered.

"Why else do you think you're here? Didn't he take you out of the house?"

"Impossible, impossible," Su Jili muttered.

"Hahaha" The man in front of him suddenly laughed wildly.

Su Jisheng was also tied here like this that day, and he was also woken up by a basin of water, and he also faced such a dark environment.

However, according to his temperament, he quickly calmed down.

"What is your relationship with that Su Wei, and why did you live in his house?"

"It's none of your business."

"It's a good one that has nothing to do with you, I was going to tie up his daughter, but I didn't expect to tie you up"

"Guess, Su Wei is saving you or not."

"Hmph-" Su Jisheng suddenly chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.

"Why don't we make a deal, Lord Chu?"

"Interesting, how did you find out who I am?"

"It doesn't matter, you just need to know that I can kidnap Su Ji out and kill Su Wei in exchange." There was some evil in the eyes of the young man's face, and the smile was even more meaningless.

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect Prime Minister Su to release a wolf at home, if he knew, I don't know what to look like."

"Is this business Lord Chu going to do?"

With the dancing candle flame, Chu Ru pondered for a moment.

"I can promise you, but you have to leave some tokens with me"

Su Jisheng took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was given to him by Su Wei a few days ago.

At this moment, it was used by Chu Ruyan to compare with Su Zhenli.

Looking at the jade pendant dangling in front of him, Su Zhenli's heart fell towards the bottom of the valley little by little, but he still stared at Chu Ru secretly.

"Hahahahaha

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Are you going to do this business?"

Yesterday's events echoed in Su Jisheng's mind, and at this moment he was alone in the midst of prosperity and hustle and bustle, and he went around and around and returned to the same place.

Somehow, the place next to me was empty, and my heart seemed to be empty.

Telling himself over and over again that he was not wrong, this is what Su Wei should bear, he just made him pay for what he had done. But when he thought of Su Li's delicate form when he called his brother, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

None of this should have had anything to do with her.

Looking down at his white robe, the fat jade that should have been hanging on his body was long gone, and he remembered that the man hung it on his body and told himself that "words are gentlemen, and they are as warm as jade" at this moment, but he was a little stunned.

"Childe?" Suddenly, someone stopped him, and he looked up, and the owner of the biscuit stall waved at him.

I was a little stunned and walked away.

The boss suddenly handed him a pancake in his hand

"That girl paid the money before and left in a hurry, I think you seem to be with her, it is better to hand it over on your behalf"

"She'......"

As if he had found his way in a fog, his cloudy heart was much clearer at that moment, and he pinched the steaming pancakes in his hand, and walked in a certain direction firmly.
