It wasn't until midnight that Su Shi walked out of the Qin Mansion tiredly, because he had to explain a lot of things to Qin Zhidao.

In the end, Qin Zhidao was finally drunk, and he didn't know if it was because of a huge impact on his thoughts, or because he couldn't accept the betrayal of his friend for many years, of course, it was most likely both.

So in the end, he was no longer drinking, but drinking.

Su Shi and Qin Nan didn't stop it, at this time, getting drunk might be the best choice for Qin Zhidao.

Qin Nan's mood was also very low, and she sat there in a daze, waiting for her father to get drunk before she raised her head and looked at Su Shi with resentment.

"Why are you telling my father these things?"

"Now everyone is in the game, and no one can stay out of this storm. At this critical time, it is important to distinguish who is friend or foe. ”

Qin Nan looked at him straightly: "So you think Master Kong is our enemy?" ”

Su Shi sighed: "Actually, I have always thought that the relationship between me and Pei Hyun is one of non-friend and foe. Although I admire him, I don't agree with his approach. I'll stop their plans, but I don't want to hurt them. ”

"But now my mind has changed."

"Why?"

"Because there's one thing I'm concerned about." Su Shi groaned: "That's Agarwood Hall, Tianbao Pavilion and Hong Sifang. ”

"Do you think they're all related to Bae Hyun?"

Su Shi nodded: "This kind of scam can only be arranged by the three of them: the prince, Pei Xun and me." The prince has been dead for ten years, and the scam only appeared two years ago, so it can only be Bae Hyun. ”

"But Confucius doesn't seem to know they exist."

Su Shi said silently: "There are only two possibilities, either Master Kong is lying, or Pei Hyun is lying." Then his gaze became extremely deep: "Whoever is lying, it says something." ”

Qin Nan's heart pounded again: "What's the matter?" ”

"If Bae Hyun is lying, it means that Master Kong doesn't know Bae Hyun's full plan." Su Shi smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, maybe Master Kong is just Pei Xun's puppet on the stage." ”

"But if Master Kong is lying, it means that their purpose is not as noble as he said it is."

Qin Nan suddenly asked, "Why do you care so much about this matter?" ”

Because Pei Hyun kept saying that he wanted to change the fate of the people of Daqian, but this kind of scam would make hundreds of people in Daqian bankrupt. I only know that no matter how lofty an ideal is, it is unacceptable if it is built on the detriment of the interests of the people. ”

"So who do you think is lying?"

"It's very likely Bae Hyun." Su Shi said slowly: "Because I believe that Master Kong will never agree to cooperate with foreign clans to subvert his own country. ”

Qin Nan's face changed: "Is the foreign clan you are referring to Uncle Chang?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Su Shi smiled: "You can also see it?" ”

Qin Nan shook his head: "I don't know anything, I just know that you behaved strangely last night, and you seemed to be wary of him." ”

"Because I know that he came to the General's Mansion last night, nominally to congratulate me, but in fact to test whether I can see through this deception."

Qin Nan didn't understand again, and asked, "Why does he doubt you?" ”

"It should be Chen Xiaolan or Princess Pingle who showed their feet when they secretly investigated these three halls, and Chang Muhua is also a smart person, so it is easy to think that I am the mastermind behind them, because in his opinion, only I can see through their deception."

"Do you suspect that Chang Muhua is the mastermind behind these three halls?"

"Even if it's not, it definitely has a deep relationship with them." Su Shi said slowly: "And the forces represented by Chang Muhua definitely covet Daqian. ”

Qin Nan suddenly stared at him tightly and continued to ask, "Didn't you suspect him for a long time?" ”

Su Shi did not deny it: "When I first saw him here, I was already suspicious of him. ”

Qin Nan looked at him in surprise: "Can you be a prophet?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "I'm not Pei Hyun, how can I be a prophet?" ”

Qin Nan looked at him incredulously, because although she didn't attend the banquet that night, her eldest brother told her in detail about what happened at the banquet afterwards.

In her opinion, everyone's behavior that day couldn't be more normal, Qin Nan really couldn't figure out why Su Shi was suspicious of Chang Muhua.

"Actually, it's not that mysterious." Su Shi looked at Qin Nan, who was stunned, and smiled, "I just heard the conversation between him and that Mr. Howard. ”

"At that time, my eldest brother and I walked into the hall and saw two foreigners in the house, so we naturally had to take a few more looks. At this time, Chang Muhua and Howard were talking in Howard's native language. They knew that no one at the party that day could understand them, so they had no worries when they talked. ”

Qin Nan's expression became even more shocked: "Can you understand the language?" ”

"I don't know anything else, but Mr. Howard's native language, unfortunately, I do know a thing or two."

"And what did you hear?"

"Actually, I've only heard one sentence." Su Shi's expression gradually became solemn: "At that time, Chang Muhua said to Howard that there will be a place for them in this great country in the future. ”

After saying this, Chang Muhua also seemed to notice that I was paying attention to them, so he stopped talking and came over to talk to me.

Qin Nan suddenly realized at this time: "I have been unable to figure it out before, but now I finally understand, when you established the Qianqiu Firm, why did you have to pull him in, there must be a meaning of observation and temptation." ”

Su Shi nodded, but then smiled bitterly: "But Chang Muhua is also very cautious in front of me, it seems that he is also wary of me." ”

Qin Nan was surprised: "Does he know that you are suspicious of him?" ”

"Quite possibly." Su Shi's face became a little bitter: "Because I also made a mistake on that day." ”

"You make mistakes, too?" Qin Nan looked at him curiously: "What mistake?" ”

"A salutation of Howard." Su Shi sighed: "As soon as Chang Muhua heard that I naturally called Mr. Howard, he immediately realized that I was very familiar with the etiquette on their side, although I made an excuse at the time, but it was obvious that he didn't fully believe it. Later, the reason why he joined Qianqiu Firm was not only that he could make money, but also that he would test me. ”

Hearing this, Qin Nan was speechless for a long time, she really couldn't imagine that Su Shi had to fight with Chang Muhua in addition to dealing with such a tricky matter.
