Chapter 42: Misestimates

Si Ning glanced at the two boxes that Lu Zhu was holding in his hand, "This is not to buy the famous pastries in Yinchuan and send them to the imperial uncle to taste." ”

……

returned to the Thorn Mansion, Si Ning sent Dongqing to take the horse to the stable, and she took the dew to Emperor Jianzhang's courtyard again.

The door of the study was closed, and just as Su Yumao was outside, Si Ning beckoned to him.

"The old slave has seen the county master." Su Yumao smiled kindly, "The county lord is here to find Your Majesty?" But unfortunately, the people from the capital haven't come out, so you may have to wait. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Huang is busy, so I won't bother." Si Ning said and took a box from Lu Zhu's hand and handed it to Su Yumao, "This is what I bought from the most famous pastry shop in Yinchuan, pretzel beef tongue cake, salty pastry."

In a moment, you can help me transfer it to my uncle. ”

Su Yumao took the box, "Don't worry, the old slave will be handed over to Your Majesty in person." ”

"Okay, that won't bother you, let's go."

"The county lord walks slowly."

Out of the courtyard, Si Ning looked at the only remaining box in Dewdrop's arms, and turned his steps, "Let's go, go find Si Yunlan." ”

Also looking for Li Su.

She couldn't go directly to Si Yunlan without a reason, otherwise Li Su was so smart, if the note was really in his hand, he would definitely guess something.

So she wanted to take the opportunity to send pastries to Si Yunlan and take the opportunity to test it.

As soon as he thought that he was going to confront Li Su, who was so wise and close to the demon, Si Ning was nervous.

She kept reassuring herself in her heart: It's okay, don't be afraid, even if he does pick up the note, then he may not know that the note is his own.

Even if he knew that the note was hers, as long as she didn't admit it......

After self-comforting along the way, Si Ning's nervous heart gradually relaxed, and the place arrived.

Si Ning stopped at the door, and the dew drops also stopped, "County Lord? ”

"It's okay, let's go." Si Ning said and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and walked in.

As soon as she walked in, the official in the courtyard greeted her, "See the county lord." ”

"Get up." Si Ning said lightly, "Where are they, Si Yunlan?" ”

"Back to the county lord, Lord Si and Master Li are discussing the case in the study." The official replied.

"Got it, stand down." Si Ning said and took the box in Luzhu's hand, and walked in the direction of the study.

……

This morning, after Si Yunlan came, Li Su relayed to him what Lin Jingdan said last night.

After listening to it, Si Yunlan also felt that there must be something boring here.

Lin Jingdan did not deny the bribery of officials and embezzlement of funds for the construction of the Yellow River, and there was no resistance or refutation at all, which shows that he has a very thorough view of the current situation.

He already knew that he would not escape the death penalty.

It stands to reason that in this case, he has nothing to hide, after all, he is going to die.

But why did he hide what happened in Zhongwei County?

Chengshi was chased and killed after Lin Jingdan was arrested, so who told Lin Jingdan that Chengshi was dead?

And who is the man in black who told Cui Shanyuan in Chengshi's mouth that the imperial court already knew that Lin Jingdan had embezzled the Yellow River construction funds?

They were supposed to solve the problem, but now it's better, and there are more and more problems.

Si Yunlan rubbed his temples with his arms, "Has Lin Jingdan sent more people there?" ”

After Lin Jingdan was detained, he was able to deliver news to him, which shows that this person is likely to be the person in charge of taking care of him, and he has to guard against it.

"It's all been replaced by credible people." The questions that Si Yunlan could think of, Li Su naturally would not be unexpected.

"Your Majesty originally wanted us to investigate the Yellow River corruption case clearly, but the result is good, the deeper we dig this, the more things happen, and it feels like a pit." Si Yun sighed and said, "Lin Jingdan will be tried in public tomorrow, what should I do?" ”

Li Su was still unhurried, "Do what you have to do, the Yellow River corruption case was originally done by Lin Jingdan, and he was the culprit."

As for other matters, special cases will be dealt with, and separate cases will be dealt with separately.

I will report the matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide. ”

Si Yunlan looked at Li Su in surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect him to be such a Li Su.

"Okay, it's a good solution." This is a headache for Your Majesty.

Si Yunlan turned his neck and stretched his waist, "These three days can be regarded as over, and after tomorrow, I will invite you to drink." ”

"No need." Li Su refused.

Si Yunlan was polite and meant, but he refused himself so without hesitation, he didn't feel good in his heart, and just wanted to say something, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Who?" Si Yunlan had just been rejected, and his tone was naturally not very good.

"Me." Si Ning heard Si Yunlan's voice, directly pushed open the door, and walked in.

Li Su heard Si Ning's voice, looked up, and just collided with Si Ning's eyes.

Si Ning fell into Li Su's deep eyes, feeling as if he was being targeted by a hunter, and the back of his spine was cold, and the whole person stood stiffly in place.

"Why are you here?" Si Yunlan got up and walked towards Si Ning in surprise, hadn't she been avoiding Li Su all the time?

Si Ning came to his senses when he heard Si Yunlan's voice, and pretended not to care and handed him the pastry, "The most famous pastry in Yinchuan, I bought it for Uncle Huang, and I brought you a copy by the way." ”

Si Yunlan took the box, looked at Si Ning, and raised his eyebrows, "You have a conscience." ”

"Master Li, let's have a taste?" Si Yunlan said politely, after all, others are here.

"No......" must be.

As soon as Li Su spoke, Si Ning knew what he was going to say, and opened his mouth to persuade, "I bought a lot, let's use some together." ”

Hearing her say this, Li Su's eyes darkened, and he looked at Si Ning, she was ...... today

Si Ning was afraid that he would see any flaws, so he deliberately avoided looking directly at him by opening the box.

Si Yunlan was also surprised when he heard Si Ning say this, he looked at Si Ning who lowered his head to sort out the pastries, and then looked at Li Su who was staring at Si Ning, is this a revival of old feelings?

"In that case, Master Li will sit down and use some together." Si Yunlan said.

Li Su: "That being the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Lord Changle for your hospitality." ”

After Si Ning sat down, although Li Su didn't stare at her, she felt very stressed at the same table with him.

She began to wonder what made her decide what made her feel that she could calmly test Li Su without being discovered by him, and she could still get away with her whole body.

As soon as she entered the door just now, Li Su looked at her and gave her a feeling that she had been exposed.

"Salty?" Si Yunlan took a bite of the pretzel beef tongue cake, and when he tasted the taste, he felt very amazing, he usually didn't like sweet, but most of the pastries were sweet, and this was the first time he had eaten pastries with his taste.

"I've been in Yinchuan for several years, why haven't I ever eaten this?"

Si Yunlan's words made Si Ning feel that the atmosphere was not so depressing, she breathed a sigh of relief, and explained, "In the past, Yinchuan was short of salt, and the shopkeeper was closed, and it has just opened recently. ”
