Chapter 255: Su Yanshu's sinister "brilliant plan"
With the help of Hei Bai and Wang Fuyin, Jin Sishui and his men, who were like chickens and dogs, were quickly found out of their crimes and taken away.
They are related to the Cheng family, have committed faults themselves, and have even forced people to death. These people will not have a good ending if they are taken back.
It was already dusk when he finished his work. Yu Shengsheng didn't want to travel at night anymore, so he simply stayed overnight at the farm.
Golden Leopard was so happy that he looked around happily, and everything was new.
Liang Bo brought a few people with him, all of whom were his old friends who had been oppressed on the farm for a long time.
Several people kowtowed to Yu Shengsheng to express their gratitude sincerely.
Yu Shengsheng smiled and nodded, and said to Uncle Liang: "Uncle Liang, I can only stay here occasionally, and I still need a capable manager here. I wonder if you are willing?"
Liang Bo is Cheng Su's man, she and Cheng Su are partners, and Liang Bo is familiar with this place, so he is the most suitable candidate.
Liang Bo was stunned. Before going to the academy, the young master had told him about the cooperation with Yu Shengsheng and also told him to help Yu Shengsheng as much as possible.
But coming here to be the manager is beyond the normal scope of helping.
He pondered and said, "Princess, I cannot make the decision on my own. I have to listen to you. Please give me some time. After asking you, I will give you a reply."
Yu Shengsheng naturally knew this and agreed readily.
"However, Princess, rest assured, the people I found for you are all capable and trustworthy, and there will be no chaos on the farm for the time being."
A maid stepped forward and saluted: "Princess, I am from the kitchen. I wonder what you would like to eat. I will prepare dinner for you."
Yu Shengsheng looked at her. Although she was dressed simply, she looked very clean. Her hair was gray but combed meticulously.
"Okay, just cook a few of your specialty dishes. This princess has no dietary restrictions."
"yes."
After meeting and introducing them one by one, Yu Shengsheng temporarily followed Liang Bo's arrangements.
Everything has been arranged here, Hei Bai and Wang Fuyin will come to see us.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Wang Fuyin smiled and said, "My lord, you are too polite. I have finished my work here. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
"It's getting dark, sir, you'd better have dinner before leaving."
Wang Fuyin thought to himself, how dare I eat? I have to go back and explain the situation to the commander.
"I have some business to attend to, so I won't stay for long. I will definitely bother you some other day, some other day."
Hei Bai was not polite and planned to eat before leaving.
Zhuangzi suddenly became lively.
…
The Su Mansion was in deathly silence.
Su Zhiyi sat at the table, thinking about what Su Yanshu had said. Yu Shengsheng actually refused her request to stay at the farm.
This is outrageous!
How could Yu Shengsheng have the virtue to own such a nice manor?
Moreover, she was clearly a distinguished guest there before, so why could Yu Shengsheng say that it was not possible?
Just as I was feeling angry, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance outside.
The scent was faint, but distinct, and she was very familiar with it.
She dimmed the candlelight and lit the incense burner on the corner of the table. Smoke rose up and a splashing sound was heard outside.
The maid who was keeping watch fell to the ground and died in her sleep.
Su Zhiyi slowly stood up from the wheelchair.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
A figure came out from the back door of the Su Mansion, went to a hidden place at the intersection, took out a special jade whistle, and blew it twice.
The man in black came quickly and bowed his head before her.
She whispered, "Speak."
"My Lord, the leader asked me to report that we received an order today. Someone wants to buy Yu Shengsheng's reputation."
Su Zhiyi's face was covered with a black veil, revealing only two eyes as cold as snakes.
"The person who placed the order was Su Yanshu, right?"
"Your Excellency is wise, so the leader asked his subordinates to ask your opinion."
Su Zhiyi asked softly, "How much did he pay?"
"One thousand taels."
"It's not low," Su Zhiyi said slowly, "Did he say what he planned to do?"
"He said that Yu Shengsheng went to the manor outside the city. The situation there has not been pacified yet. Yu Shengsheng is short of manpower, so he asked us to abduct her and keep her for a few days in the name of revenge for the Cheng family, and then ask the Su family for ransom money and send her back."
"How much is the ransom?"
"Two thousand taels."
Su Zhiyi sneered: "He never does business at a loss. In this case, since we are acquaintances, we should give him some more benefits."
"What the Lord means is..."
"What's the point of just destroying your reputation? Once you get the ransom money, you can just return the body."
"yes."
None of the men in black left, and the night returned to peace.
Su Zhiyi laughed softly: "I thought you would come up with some good method, but it turns out to be this, too old-fashioned."
"But it is useful."
“Yu Shengsheng, let’s see how you are going to pass this level. How can a Golden Leopard fight against Shitang alone?”
She did not return the same way, but returned to the Su Mansion cautiously from another place.
Not long after she left, a figure in a black cloak appeared nearby and blended into the night.
Kong Dezhao was wiping his precious sword under the light. After some time, the sword would be wiped with blood.
He paused suddenly: "Come out."
The man in the black cloak walked into the room quickly and greeted him: "Prince."
"What is it? If it is something related to Qi Mubai, then there is no need to tell me. This prince has no interest in him at all."
"If you hadn't told me last time that he was still useful, I wouldn't have agreed to rescue him from prison."
The man in the black cloak said patiently, "Please calm down, my lord. I came here this time because I discovered something else."
"It's related to Princess Ruiyang."
Kong Dezhao raised his eyes to look at him: "Shengsheng? What's the matter?"
"I have found the murderer near the Su residence."
Kong Dezhao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Shitang, that notorious organization in the martial arts world, who will take on jobs as long as you are willing to pay and place an order, regardless of right or wrong?"
"That's right," the man in the black cloak nodded. "It's said that the killers of Shitang would bathe with the three incense scents of Qingming after killing someone. After a long time, a faint smell would remain on their bodies. If they want to communicate with each other, they will also use this incense. You know, I have some research on spices, so I can smell it."
Kong Dezhao seemed to be thinking: "Where is Shengsheng now?"
"We went to the manor outside the city, the one the emperor recently awarded."
"Prepare the horses."
Kong Dezhao stood up, and the man in the black cloak quickly stopped him: "Sir, you should send someone. If someone sees you and it affects your future actions, then..."
Kong Dezhao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll just change my clothes."
"But……"
"No buts."
He spoke so firmly that the man in black cloak dared not to try to stop him and had to step back.
The night deepened and a light rain began to fall.
The weather became cooler with each autumn rain. Yu Shengsheng had just moved to a new place and it felt quite chilly, so she couldn't sleep well.
The room was very big. She was in the inner room, and there was a small room outside. Baobao slept on the small bed outside and kept watch for her at night.
Yu Shengsheng woke up in a daze and heard the sound of rain outside.
She pulled her clothes closer, went to the window and gently pushed it open.
The slanting wind after the rain blew in her face, and the cool air made her suddenly more awake.
The sound of rain is light, and it reminds me of when I was in the countryside, what I feared most was rain.
The house was old and leaked inevitably. Every time it rained she had to go up to the roof and spread straw.
The house was inevitably cold and damp. When I came down from the roof, my clothes were soaked and couldn't dry overnight.
Thinking back to the past, I was in a trance for a moment.
There seems to be something blurry in front of my eyes.
Is that... a human figure?
