Because of Zhou Jin, they didn't seem to realize how terrible the other party really was.

Su Shi was not surprised at all that the other party had placed someone among the secret guards and Zhou Jin and their subordinates, because he knew that as long as he was a human, he could be bribed, after all, there were not many saints in this world, so it was difficult for the vast majority of people to resist the temptation of power, money, and beauty.

What shocked Su Shi was that the other party could plan and implement such a complete plan in just a few hours.

When Su Shi came to the conclusion, it was already noon, and even if someone passed the news on at that time, there was not much time left for the other party.

But the other party was able to design a perfect plan in such a short period of time, so perfect that if it weren't for him, no one would have doubted Cui Peng's death.

This is by no means possible with financial and human resources alone, there must be a very smart person behind the scenes.

And this man is undoubtedly terrifying.

At this time, Su Shi suddenly remembered the death of the crown prince, because Zhou Xuan's death seemed to be an accident.

Although Su Shi promised to help Zhou Jin and them investigate the cause of the prince's death, he did not think that there was anything wrong with the cause of the prince's death in his heart, after all, there were five or six imperial doctors before and after who had proved that the prince's death was not suspicious.

He just wanted to see if he could find out the reason for the prince's abnormal behavior before he died-because this was the key for Zhou Jin and others to believe that the cause of the prince's death was suspicious - if the reason was found, they would naturally be able to accept it.

As for the secret left by the prince, Su Shi was reluctant to touch it, because he knew that no matter what the secret was, those who knew it would definitely not end well.

But now Su Shi suddenly realized that his previous judgment might be wrong.

Could it be that the prince's accident was also designed by the other party?

Thinking of this, a chill surged in Su Shi's heart, because if the prince's accident was really artificial, he really couldn't imagine what kind of organization the other party was, how deep the other party's strength was, and how bold the other party was.

And why would the other party do it?

Originally, Su Shi thought that the death of the crown prince involved the throne of the emperor, but judging from the current situation, this assumption does not seem to be valid.

The crown prince is not only virtuous, but also humble, and does not show the ambition to spy on the throne, and the son of heaven is benevolent, and he is also pleased with the prince's meritocracy, and does not show vigilance against the prince.

As for the other princes, when the crown prince died, the eldest was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he had no ability or strength to compete for the position of the crown prince.

The crown prince must have posed a great threat to these people, or these people would benefit greatly from the death of the prince, so they would take the risk, even at the risk of being exterminated, to kill the prince.

As for what the great threat is? What do you mean by great benefits?

Su Shi couldn't think of it, even if he broke his head, he couldn't think of it.

Since he couldn't think of it, Su Shi didn't force himself, he straightened up, and then shouted, "Brother Lin." ”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo had already appeared in front of him.

"Childe, what do you command?"

"You go and drive, I'm going out."

"Where is Childe going?"

"Chengshun Fang."

When he came to the place where Chen Xiaolan lived in Chengshunfang, Su Shi saw that the door was empty, so he pushed it lightly, and then walked in.

Chen Xiaolan heard a sound in the house, hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that it was Su Shi, he was shocked and happy, and hurriedly walked towards Su Shi.

"Xiaolan has seen Childe."

Then she saw that Su Shi's spirit was a little sluggish, and she hurriedly asked, "Childe is doing well lately." ”

Su Shi took a closer look at Chen Xiaolan and found that she seemed to have cleared up a little in the past few days, and said, "You are busy, you still have to pay attention to rest." ”

Chen Xiaolan's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Su Shi naturally didn't pay attention to her little daughter's mentality, and continued: "I came here this time to give you something. ”

Chen Xiaolan was stunned: "Childe has something to give me?" ”

Su Shi nodded, took out a piece of paper from his cuff, and handed it to Chen Xiaolan.

Chen Xiaolan opened in confusion, and then her face became extremely shocked, she looked at the title deed in her hand blankly, and couldn't believe her eyes.

After a long time, Chen Xiaolan raised his stiff head, looked at Su Shi and muttered, "Childe, this is ......"

Su Shi said indifferently: "Dongyuan Quality Library gave up the gamble, this is just compensation for them to give up the gamble." ”

Chen Xiaolan now not only can't believe his eyes, but even his ears can't believe it.

"Dongyuan Quality Library gave up the gamble, and also compensated Chen Ji to us?"

For Chen Xiaolan, even hearing that the gods had descended to earth did not have this news that shocked her so much.

Su Shi said: "Not only Chen Ji, but also compensated 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise I would not have been able to agree to them." ”

Su Shi naturally didn't think it was such a big deal, but Chen Xiaolan was already completely demented when he heard it on the side.

When she looked at Su blankly, her head seemed to be full of paste, not only was her mind stagnant, but she couldn't react at all.

It wasn't until Su Shi screamed a few times that Chen Xiaolan came back to her senses, and then saw Su Shi's palm shaking in front of her eyes.

"Are you alright?" Su Shi asked with concern: "Are you too busy these days, do you want to go back to the house to rest?" ”

Chen Xiaolan only felt that his face was hot for a while, but he couldn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm fine, what does the son command?" ”

Su Shi looked at Chen Xiaolan's red face and said suspiciously: "It's really okay, I see that you seem to have a fever." ”

Chen Xiaolan nodded resolutely.

Su Shi relieved himself and said, "Last time, I asked you to pay attention to whether there is any vacant land outside the city, and buy it after the gambling game is over." Now that the game is over, I want to put this matter on the agenda. ”

Chen Xiaolan said in a low voice: "I know." I don't know what Childe wants? ”

Su Shi thought for a moment, then took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it to her. Chen Xiaolan saw that each one was a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.

Naturally, she had never seen so many silver tickets, and she was at a loss for a while, looking at Su Shi in a daze.

Then she heard Su Shi say: "You take the 50,000 taels first, and you are in charge of what land you buy, except for the fields." ”

"Don't buy land?" Chen Xiaolan was stunned again.

Su Shi smiled: "I have never farmed, what do you want the field to do?" ”

"What is the boy going to do when he buys land?"

Su Shi shook his head and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, but it should take a lot of space to do business, so it won't be wrong to buy it first." ”

Chen Xiaolan had no choice but to agree: "I know." ”

At this time, Su Shi suddenly asked, "Are you still collecting information about the Thirty-six Fang Restaurant?" ”

"Yes."

"Is there anyone you can trust?"

Chen Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Su Shi said: "You send someone you trust to focus on collecting information about the restaurant in Jinhuchun, Pingning Fang. ”

"I wonder what kind of information Childe wants to collect?"

Su Shi thought for a while and said, "Collect everything you can hear." ”
