Chapter 367 The Best Reason to Attack Jinyu Kingdom
"One thousand taels?" Su Rongyan exclaimed, and the words "Why don't you just rob?" were about to come out of her mouth, but she swallowed them back, "...I don't have that much money right now!"
Xiao Shiliu didn't care at all and spread his hands. "Forget it if there's nothing! It's not like I want to go to the Heavenly Prison anyway."
Su Rongyan: “…”
"Let me think of another way." Su Rongyan said hurriedly when she saw Xiao Shiliu taking Yuan Luoling away.
Xiao Shiliu nodded, then looked at Long Qing meaningfully, then carried Yuan Luoling out of the yard. No one cared about the little maid who lay lifeless on the ground.
The yard returned to silence, only Su Rongyan lowered her head worriedly, wondering where to raise so much money.
In the past, the second young lady of the Su family was doted on by her father and loved by her mother, and she never had to worry about money. But now, her father has been affected by the successive downfalls of the emperor and the prince, and his former glory is long gone.
The Su Mansion must be in chaos right now. If she goes back at this time, she might be implicated, and it would be impossible for her to take the money out.
Seeing Su Rongyan's embarrassment, Long Qing, who was standing beside her, whispered, "Second Miss, I have some silver here. You can use it first!"
Then, a silver note worth one thousand taels was handed to Su Rongyan.
"Brother Qing..." Su Rongyan raised her little face in surprise, a little excited, "You...why are you so nice to me?"
Looking at Su Rongyan's delicate and happy expression, Long Qing coughed unnaturally, "You are my woman, I naturally can't bear to see you unhappy."
Su Rongyan endured the awkwardness in her heart and snuggled into Long Qing's arms, rubbing her chin against his chest affectionately, "Brother Qing, you are the only one in the world who can treat me this well."
With the soft fragrance in his arms, Long Qing was very happy. "Let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's go give them the money now. That way, we can let you meet Tai... meet Ji Mingshuo sooner."
Su Rongyan nodded shyly, "Okay. Then let's go quickly. I'm most afraid of staying in the same place with the dead."
Long Qing never said anything more and left with his men.

Not long after the two left, the house suddenly caught fire. If the people in the houses on both sides had not discovered it in time, their houses might have been affected as well.
The fire was put out and people were talking about it.
The gossipy masses are everywhere, no matter what era it is.
People stood beside the charred house and said, "Oh my! I don't know whose house this is. It was burned like this. I'm afraid it's completely destroyed. Even if I wanted to sell it, I'm afraid no one would dare to buy it."
"That's right. I heard someone burned to death in there. A house where someone died is a haunted house. Who would dare to live there?"
Xiao Yi stood in the crowd, listening to the people around him talking about the house, and nodded with satisfaction. Yes, everyone knew that someone was burned to death, but they didn't know who was burned to death.
If the person they captured today didn't return to report in time, how anxious would the person hiding behind him be?
Just be anxious! Once anxious, you will do irrational behavior, and it is only a matter of time before you reveal your true colors. The Jinyu Kingdom dares to take advantage of their master's decline and sneak in. They must wait for their counterattack at any time.
The master is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, and the Jinyu Kingdom has become more active. This time, if they can catch the spies hiding in the Great Zhou Kingdom, it will be the best reason for them to send troops to attack the Jinyu Kingdom.
