There is a long street outside the backyard of the inn.

There were shops lining both sides of the street. It wasn't too late, so many shops were still open and there were still quite a few people walking around on the street.

Su Li only knew that the Xishan Mine was located in Xishan Province west of Dajin, but he didn't know where this place was. He also didn't know whether Xiao Shaoxing's carriage had left Xishan Province after traveling for a whole day.

Su Li was already hungry because he hadn't eaten all day.

She bought a few meat buns on the street and ate them while walking. As she walked, she saw a clothing store across the street.

"Miss, what style of dress do you like? We have all kinds of styles here, please take a look."

As soon as I entered the door, a woman came to greet me warmly.

Su Li picked out a dark purple dress: "Does this one have a size that fits me?"

The woman looked her over and said, "Girl, I think this size is suitable for you. Why don't you try it on?"

Su Li nodded and followed the woman into the inner room to try it on.

I have to say that the woman has a good eye. The dress really fits her perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.

The woman was also amazed when she saw Su Li wearing the dress: "Wow! This dress looks really good on you, girl. The size is just right!"

"How much is this dress?"

"Five hundred coins, hehe..."

Su Li did not bargain, because she really didn't understand the market here.

But it was a bit painful. In the mountains, her monthly salary was only two taels of silver, and this dress cost her nearly half a month's salary.

But this dress is very much to her liking, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more expensive.

After paying the money, she did not change her dress and left wearing it.

Just as he reached the door, he turned back and asked the woman, "Boss, I'm new here. Where is the bank?"

"The bank, it's very close!" The woman went out and pointed to a corner in front. "It's the second room from there."

"Oh, thank you very much."

The woman smiled and said, "You're welcome! Take care."

Su Li followed the woman's instructions and quickly found the money house.

Of course she wasn't here to deposit or withdraw money, since she had no use for either.

When she saw the four big characters "Xishan Money House" written on the door plaque of the money house, she knew that she was still in Xishan Province.

Her plan was to go to Pingjin Province to find someone.

In the original novel, all the officials in Xishan Province were either Ning Wang's men or had been bribed. They would only cover up the affairs of the Xishan mine and would never sell it out.

Therefore, if she wanted to expose the Xishan mine, she had to do so in Xishan Province. Otherwise, she would be silenced before she could expose it.

Going to the capital is too far and time is tight. She was afraid that if something unexpected happened on the way, it would delay the rescue of A Xiu and the others.

Therefore, her initial plan was to go to Pingjin Province, which was closer to Xishan.

Pingjin Province is located on the western border of the Great Jin Dynasty and is the residence of General Pingxi Li Yingfeng.

There are two reasons why Su Li wanted to find him.

First, Li Yingfeng is the cousin of the wife of the third prince Chun Wang. In the original novel, he is Chun Wang's man.

As a competitor, Li Yingfeng would certainly be happy to cooperate if there was a chance to overthrow Prince Ning.

Second, as the General Pingxi, Li Yingfeng had military power.

In order to expose the Xishan Mine incident and rescue Ah Xiu and the others, it would be impossible without manpower. After all, she had been in the Xishan Mine for more than half a year and was very familiar with the military strength on the mountain.

Whether it is Prince Ning, Xiao Shaoxing or Li Yuzhi, they are not pushovers and are not easy to deal with.

Li Yingfeng is a veteran of many battles and is also Prince Chun's man, so it is most appropriate to look for him.

She continued walking forward, then asked someone for directions and found the pawn shop.

She took out the ruby ​​earring and asked, "Boss, I want to pawn this earring."

To go to Pingjin Province, she had to hire a carriage. She only had eleven taels of silver and five hundred coins on her, which she felt was not enough.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties with a moustache. He looked at it for a moment and then asked, "Are you pawning it alive or dead?"

"It works."

After all, it belonged to the original owner, and she would have to redeem it back someday.

"Thirty taels."

Thirty taels!

Su Li was a little surprised. Is this thing so valuable? It's still a living thing. She agreed immediately: "Okay."

After signing the receipt, Su Li took thirty taels of silver and the receipt and left the pawnshop, then found an inn to stay in.

After not sleeping for a whole day and night and being jolted around in the carriage for another whole day, she was already exhausted. After taking a quick bath, she fell into a deep sleep.
