Chapter 238 Two Account Books



Xiao Shengxing remained silent and did not answer Shiqi.

Time passed little by little, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became tense.

A cool breeze blew over, blowing away the previous heat.

The confusion in Su Lijin's eyes gradually changed. Little by little, her eyes gradually became colder and turned into a cold stare.

Xiao Shengxing didn't answer.

In Su Lijin's view, this is an extremely irresponsible behavior.

Can't a man even be sure who he likes?

Or is it that he is simply fickle and doesn't want to let go of either side?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Lijin immediately recalled the confession made by Xiao Shengxing when facing Shiqi, and the intimate things that happened between him and Shiqi.

When facing the queen, he also seemed very ambiguous, often showing different emotions towards himself as the queen.

All of this flooded into her mind at once, making her look even more mocking. She was looking at Xiao Shengxing like she was looking at a...

"You are just a playboy!" She said what was in her mind.

Xiao Shengxing looked up and saw Su Lijin smiling coldly, then turning around and leaving without hesitation.

He was silent for a moment and sighed.

After leaving the imperial study, Su Lijin was blown by the cold wind for a while, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little.

Gradually calming down, she stopped worrying about Xiao Shengxing's feelings for her and instead thought about how to resolve her current situation.

Thinking of this, she walked to Kunning Palace again.

"Xianxian, please help me keep an eye on Yan Jia." After finding Xianxian, Su Lijin revealed her identity and said.

Xianxian nodded when she heard this: "Don't worry, Madam, I have been keeping an eye on her, but..."

Having said that, she hesitated again.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Seeing this, Su Lijin saw something from her expression and couldn't help but ask.

After hesitating for a moment, Xianxian nodded again and said, "This servant discovered that Yan Jia has been looking for something recently. It seems to be an account book."

Upon hearing this, Su Lijin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Logically speaking, Yan Jia should not know that she took the account book.

Xianxian said that she was looking for an account book recently. Could it be that there is another account book?

Besides the one in my hand, is there another account book?

She was a little surprised.

The other account book must be very important, otherwise Yan Jia wouldn't be in such a hurry to find it.

Su Lijin comforted her, "Don't worry about these. Just let her find it. You just need to keep an eye on her movements and tell me."

However, thinking of the account book, which records the entire connection of the corruption case, these things...

Her eyes moved, and she suddenly thought of other details.

She remembered that when Guo Tang was arrested before, there was also an account book. Could it be that the one Yan Jia was looking for was Guo Tang's?

but……

Su Lijin frowned. She remembered that half of the account book had been burned.

"But since it's half burned, we should be able to see something, right?"

At least, the other half still records important information.

Thinking of this, she always felt that there was something that had to be confirmed quickly.

After instructing Xianxian, she went to inquire again and learned that all the evidence at that time was kept in the Dali Temple.

"Dali Temple, I can only go there once more."

Su Lijin did not stay and went to the Dali Temple alone.

The Dali Temple has constables on duty, and the security is quite strict.

However, Su Lijin had been here many times before and was quite familiar with the place. With some effort, she managed to avoid the inspection.

She walked to the room where the evidence was placed, listened carefully and heard no movement outside, then began to look around the room.

What is stored here are all physical evidences from various cases, some are documents, some are objects, it is very complicated.

Su Lijin searched for a while before she figured out where was where.

She wiped her sweat and said, "There are still so many things. Fortunately, I found a pattern, otherwise I would have searched all day long and still not found anything."

She sighed and was about to put her hand down when she heard a slight noise.

The noise was so quiet that if she hadn't stopped searching at that moment and the room was so quiet, she would have hardly heard it.

Su Lijin held her breath nervously. Such a subtle movement could not have been made by an ordinary person.

It couldn't be the movement of the constables. The constables' kung fu is not that high, and they definitely don't have this kind of strength.

The only one who can have this skill of stepping on the ground silently is a master, and a master with such powerful strength that it is shocking!

Thinking of this, Su Lijin clenched her hands nervously, gritted her teeth, and prepared to fight to the death.

She took the initiative and swung a long sword.

As the long sword passed by, it felt the power of a hand. The hand gently gripped the sword, and the long sword could not move.

Oh no!

Su Lijin couldn't draw her sword and angrily said, "Where did this thief come from? How dare you attack me? Have you ever heard of my name?"

She tried to sound more eloquent, but her voice was tight and she was obviously nervous.

hehe.

A laugh filled the air, a low, magnetic laugh.

As the figure swayed, a handsome figure walked out from the darkness.

"Shiqi, you were the one who attacked me first. I didn't attack you."

The man swung the sword in his hand, causing it to tremble slightly. He said, "Also, I've certainly heard of the name of Lady Shiqi, and I wouldn't dare attack you by surprise. Don't worry."

This sound...

This person is...

Su Lijin opened her eyes wide and finally saw the person clearly in the moonlight.

"Master Guyun?"
