......

In the small courtyard, Su Muci still brought some pastries, and then skillfully brewed and poured tea.

For the women of Nanzhou Mansion, the craft of making tea seems to be born. Su Muci is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she naturally knows some of these skills.

Yu Zhi looked at Tuan Tuan on the swing and said, "There are children missing in Sioux City, you take Tuan Tuan with you, be careful." ”

Su Muci naturally heard about such a thing, answered, and then said, "Is there a clue now?" ”

Yu Zhi shook his head, "No." Su Ji has already strengthened the guard. However, there is no trace of the six children who disappeared before. It doesn't look like an ordinary human trafficker. ”

Until today, three days have passed, and Yu Zhi has not figured out the key to this matter.

The banditry incident was in an uproar, and the inspector Yushi was still in Sioux City, and someone dared to kidnap children from under the nose of the Sioux City army.

What is the purpose of this?

If it is for the abduction and trafficking of children, the risk of this money is too great.

Yu Zhi continued: "In the past three days, there have been no accidents with the children brought back from the mountain city. But there are also some children of the people in Sioux City who are missing. I think the other party has another purpose. Perhaps, wait a few more days and there will be results. ”

Zuanbang's investigation was inconclusive, and one by one, the children in Sioux City disappeared. This kept Zu Anbang awake at night, and the smile on his face was gone.

laughs, I'm afraid that before the case is solved, I won't be able to laugh anymore.

"By the way, is there anything else unusual about Su Ling?" Yu Zhi asked.

Su Muci once said that Su Ling often went out at night and did not know his whereabouts.

Su Muci thought carefully and said, "Recently, Su Ling is still so missing. I often go home early in the morning. If it is said that it is abnormal, he can give money for the people, and this is the greatest abnormality. ”

"Oh? Why? Yu Zhi asked curiously.

Su Muci said: "In my impression, Su Ling inherited the shrewdness of the second uncle, and he is a person who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early. In the past, Su Ling did not see Su Ling contribute to the disaster in Sioux City, but now he is so generous, which is really surprising. So, I think Su Ling must have his purpose. ”

In Sucheng County, the only thing Yu Zhi feels is still somewhat credible is Su Muci, and so far, Su Muci has never deceived Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi smiled faintly and said, "No matter what his purpose is, he is always helping those people solve big problems." ”

Yu Zhi looked at Su Muci again, suddenly smiled, and said, "I think of your brother Su Sui's style that day. The Su family's big house is no more than the second room, which is really normal. I don't know how Su Sui became the county guard of this Sioux County in the first place. ”

Su Muci didn't mind Yu Zhi saying this, she knew best what kind of person Su Sui was. is so happy, arrogant and lascivious, if it weren't for the name of a county guard before, he would just be a gentleman.

"My father and Su Sui would have known your identity earlier, and they would have stammered. And not the attitude of that day. In their eyes, Zu Anbang was just an enemy who robbed Su Sui of his official position, so how could he help him? Su Muci smiled faintly. Now, Su Sui is still thinking about finding an official position in the house, so let me ask my father-in-law Fan, who works in the Ministry of Industry, to say something good. ”

Yu Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Su Muci looked at Yu Zhi, the other party's eyes were pure, and there was no hint of adulteration.

But Su Muci still shook his head and said, "Although they are connected by blood, I know Su Sui, and he is the greatest blessing in this life." ”

Yu Zhi smiled and asked, "But if you don't have Su Sui's official position, your situation in the Su family and the Fan family will be much more difficult?" ”

Su Muci raised her head slightly, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

"Even so, is Childe willing to let a gentleman become an official for my sake?"

In an instant, Yu Zhi was stunned. With his power, it is not difficult to get an official position for Su Sui in Sioux City. is really as Su Muci said, is it really good to let Su Sui be an official?

Su Muci sighed lightly in her heart, she had already known Yu Zhi's answer, but when she knew the answer, she also felt a slight regret in her heart.

She comforted herself in her heart, it was a meeting in Pingshui, how could she expect too much.

Yu Zhi sighed and said, "What you said is good. Su Sui is not an official. ”

"Still." Yu Zhi said, "What I said at the beginning is still valid. ”、

Su Muci's heart trembled, a flash of light flashed under her eyes, and there was something different between her eyebrows. She deliberately said, "What did Childe say? ”

Yu Zhi said frankly: "Help you control the Su family." Since you consider me to be your Lord's house, your Lord's house must protect you, don't you? ”

Su Muci smiled slightly, exuding an alluring mature charm.

Yu Zhi is not asking for anything else to help Su Muci, the Su family is the richest man in Sucheng County, if he can control the Su family, he will also control the wealth of the Su family, and he will fight with Xiang Ji in the future, not only in the martial arts realm, but also in the thousands of troops under Xiang Ji.

Yu Zhi must have his top combat power, and he must also have his own manpower.

All of this needs to be supported by money.

After nightfall, Su Muci took Tuan Tuan back to Fan's Mansion early, as Yu Zhi said, the case of the child's disappearance has not yet been clarified, and Su Muci should be more cautious with Tuan Tuan.

And Yu Zhi also left the small courtyard and slipped over the wall into the Su Mansion.

There are no clues at the moment, but Su Ling's day and night appearance makes Yu Zhi a little curious. The dignified young master of the Su family has countless money in his hands, what is the unsightly thing to do when he haunts this night?

The moon and stars were scarce, and a dark shadow walked through the corridor, walking in the shadows of the house, as if merging with the darkness.

The sound of conversation could be heard in the study not far away, and Yu Zhi stood by the window, his back against the wall, hiding himself in the darkness.

There was a candle in the study, and Su Rongsheng and Su Sui, father and son, were sighing for a long time, their faces full of sadness. It has been more than ten days since Yu Zhi came to Su Mansion last time, and it was only in recent days that Su Sui learned that the inspector Yushi had followed his sister Su Muci's caravan all the way south.

Su Sui immediately told Su Rongsheng about this.

The father and son already regretted offending Yu Zhi that day, but now that they learned that Su Muci and Yu Zhi knew each other, they were already angry in their hearts.

"Dad, how can you say that Su Muci can be like this? knew that the young man was Yu Zhi, and he never reminded us, even after that, he kept silent. Is she from our Su family? Su Sui said indignantly.

Su Rongsheng was also annoyed, he could have stammered Yu Zhi, but he offended Yu Zhi inexplicably.

"If I had known that the young man was Lord Yushi, even if it was 100,000 taels, I would be willing to take it out. But... Alas, what the hell is going on with Mu Ci? ”

Su Sui also reprimanded: "My sister is useless at all. Since marrying into Fan's Mansion and flying on the branches, everything has been hidden from us! ”

Su Rongsheng's father and son blamed everything on Su Muci, but they didn't know how disgusting their face was that day.

Su Rongsheng's face was gloomy, he sighed, and said: "At the beginning, marrying your sister to the medicine jar of the Fan family not only climbed the big tree of the Fan family, but also made you become the county guard of Suzhou County step by step. This is supposed to kill two birds with one stone, who knew it would be like this. ”

"The people of the Fan family married Su Muci again, and they received so much silver from us, so the official position they got in exchange is gone!" Su Rongsheng waited for Su Sui, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

Su Sui turned his head and argued in a low voice: "How did I know that this bandit has not been eliminated for a long time, and that You Yuanju dares to collude with the mountain bandits." Bad luck! ”

Yu Zhi listened to all this from the window outside the study, and his expression became cold.

He was far from expecting that Su Muci's marriage was actually a transaction.

Su Muci married the eldest young master of Fan Mansion, and in exchange for Su Sui, he rose step by step until he became the county guard of Sucheng County two years ago.

Yu Zhi's figure appeared in Su Muci's mind, and said in her heart: I'm afraid she doesn't know the inside story here.

The biological daughter is called a transaction, and a marriage is used in exchange for an official position, but the happiness of the biological daughter is disregarded.

I don't know what Su Muci will feel when she knows about this? ...... Yu Zhi sighed in his heart and continued to look at the ugly faces of the father and son.

Su Rongsheng took a sip of water, since Su Sui was dismissed, there have been many obstacles to the business of Dafang Yimai. In the past, Su Sui, the county guard, was covered, and anyone who saw it would give a little thin face.

At this time, Su Sui's face was a little more joyful, and he smiled sinisterly: "Dad, you are your sister and this Lord Yushi have been walking all the way, but why do you pretend not to know each other?" ”

Su Rongsheng didn't understand what Su Sui meant, frowned, and said, "What do you have to say." ”

Su Sui grinned at the corners of his mouth, his eyes lit up, and said, "Dad, my fair lady, good gentleman!" This Lord Yushi is young, do you think he will have thoughts about his sister? I've heard that those young masters in Kyoto are not like the young people in our Nanzhou Mansion, they like mature women the most. ”

Su Sui said, with an obscene smile.

And Su Rongsheng also showed a thoughtful look.

Su Sui continued: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, my sister must know Lord Yushi, the friendship along the way, let my sister bring a sentence, let's make amends with wine, and make friends with him by the way, it will eliminate the misunderstanding in the past." It is said that the lord of the imperial history received a lot of silver taels from the officials of Sucheng County, and went to Huanyi Tower for a night of spring dinner. Such money-hungry and lustful people had better be wooed. ”

Yu Zhi's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth.

Greedy for money and lustful, alas, others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it.

The inside story of the 30,000 taels of silver was only known to Zhang Zhongmin, Zu Anbang and others, but it was not difficult to inquire about that banquet.

"After the bandits subside, won't this Su Ji be reinstated? Let my sister beg this Lord Yushi, my official position may really take a turn for the better. Su Sui seemed to see the dawn of hope.

"How can there be any fault in the officialdom, and if you put all the fault on You Yuanju, this thing will definitely be done."

Su Rongsheng looked at Su Sui, patted Su Sui's shoulder, and said, "Why did you kid suddenly open up?" I was able to see this step. ”

Su Rongsheng agreed: "It's better to call your sister tomorrow and ask about the situation first." If Lord Yushi is interested in Mu Ci...... That's it, I'll go to Fan's Mansion for a trip. It's better to ask this question clearly. ”

Father and son have already made up their minds, and this is their only chance at the moment.

Outside the study, Yu Zhi's figure disappeared.

Su Rongsheng and Su Sui's dark thoughts were known to him, and the disdain in his heart was increased to the extreme.

At this time, Yu Zhi was like a ghost, following behind Su Ling.
