Su Li asked: "Did Ah Yue tell you what she was going to do?"
"Ayue? Oh, you mean Miss Pei San, right? I said it."
"You agree?"
Taoist Kongxu nodded and said, "I agree. I agree."
Su Li looked at him with scrutiny: "This is no small matter. If you're not careful, you might even lose your life. Don't you think about it?"
She believed that he could read faces and tell whether Princess Rongfu had purple aura. The most important reason was that five years later in the original novel, he was the one who saw that Princess Rongfu did not have purple aura and then told the original heroine. Only then did Pei Ji find a way to invite Master Wuen back to Beijing.
But in the original novel, Taoist Kongxu saw that Princess Rongfu did not have the purple aura, and he did not do it in public, nor did he have the opportunity to make it public, so he only told the original heroine. At that time, Princess Rongfu had all her crimes exposed and was imprisoned in the princess's mansion.
Therefore, he would not be suspected of spreading rumors to mislead the public, nor would he offend the emperor and be ordered to be arrested, and naturally his life would not be in danger.
But now, Princess Rongfu is still fine, and he is willing to risk his life at any time to publicly expose the fact that Princess Rongfu is not a lucky star. She really doesn't believe that he has no other purpose.
Because in the original novel, Taoist Kongxu has always been very careful about his life.
"Haha! The reward offered by Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is not low. I have already considered it..."
Taoist Kong Xu's eyes were wandering, and he felt a little guilty. He thought to himself: This lady from the Pei family is really amazing. It's as if her eyes have seen through him. It's so scary!
Cough cough!
He didn't do anything, why should he feel guilty?
He was just cooperating with Madam Pei and the others, and by the way, trying to gain some, ahem! Some benefits for their Taoist sect. What's wrong with that?
How great is he?
Su Li said: "In that case, let's discuss the matter for the day after tomorrow."
No matter what other purposes he has, as long as he is not Princess Rongfu's man, it will be fine.
Then he called Xiao Ye who was waiting outside the door: "Go and find A Yue."
"yes……"
The Zhuangyuan Mansion was not very big, and Pei Mingyue did not walk far. Xiao Ye left for a while and then brought Pei Mingyue back.
Pei Mingyue asked as soon as she entered the room: "Are you done chatting?"
Su Li smiled and said, "Well, let's talk about the arrangements for the day after tomorrow."
"Then you say it, Ali, and I'll listen to you."
The subsequent plan was originally thought up by Ah Li, so she naturally followed her arrangements: "If there is a shortage of manpower, I will go back home and tell my father."
She has already told her father about Ali's follow-up plan, and her father couldn't help but praise Ali's plan after hearing it.
"good."
Taoist Kongxu quickly said, "I will also follow Madam Pei's arrangements."
Pei Mingyue raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that something seemed different after the Taoist priest and A Li had a private chat for a while?
Yes! I seem to have become much more approachable. As expected, no matter who you are, you will feel different when you meet someone you know. It’s easier to talk to and get things done with someone you know!
Next, Su Li carefully explained to Taoist Kongxu what he was going to do that day.
Taoist Kongxu has a silver tongue, and what he was asked to do was something he was good at, so it was easy for him to remember it.
As for Pei Mingyue, there was nothing for her to do. Even if there was, it would be a very simple matter.
The rest will be left to Xiao Sanzi and the others.
After giving everything explained, Pei Mingyue and Taoist Kongxu left without staying long.
Afterwards, Su Li called Xiao Sanzi and others and explained in detail what they had to do.
Towards evening, Xiao Ye came in to report, "Madam, the eldest son's teacher, Mr. Song, sent a message asking you to go to the academy tomorrow to discuss something concerning the eldest son."
Su Li was puzzled, about Zhao'er?
"Did you say what it was?"
"The person who came only said it was about the study tour."
Study abroad?
Su Li knew about studying abroad.
In the Jin Dynasty, traveling to study was an important form of education. Many scholars would travel around with their disciples or students to teach and pass on their knowledge.
This not only increases knowledge and learning, but also broadens students' horizons and minds.
Could it be that Mr. Song wants to take Pei Zhao on a study tour?
But isn't Pei Zhao too young? Isn't it generally necessary to study for several years before considering studying abroad?
Never mind. Mr. Song wouldn't harm Pei Zhao. He'd find out what happened tomorrow. So he replied, "Okay, I understand..."
After dinner, Su Li had nothing to do for the time being, so she took out the relationship book, which she had only read less than one-tenth of last night, and began to read it carefully.
No matter what happens with Pei Ji in the future, remembering this relationship book will be beneficial for her survival in Dajin.
Late at night, Su Li rubbed his sleepy eyes, closed the relationship book and prepared to rest.
Xiaowu had already been sent away to rest by her. She returned to her bedroom alone, turned off the lights and went to bed.
"Madam, please wake up..."
It seemed like he had slept for a long time, but also like he had only slept for a while before Su Li was woken up.
She was puzzled: "Xiaowu, what's wrong?"
Then he sat up.
"Madam, Brother Zhichang just came to report that there are suspicious people wandering around our No. 1 Scholar's Mansion..."
Su Li suddenly woke up: "Do you know who it is?"
"Brother Zhichang said that they are people with great martial arts skills. Currently, there are three people known to have done so."
Could it be that Princess Rongfu is going to burn down the No. 1 Scholar’s mansion again, just like in the original novel?
But she had just been released from the palace. How could he be so reckless and eager to kill her?
"What time is it now?"
Xiao Wu replied, "Just at 3:00 AM."
It was just Yinshi, which was three o'clock in the morning.
Su Li instructed: "Have Zhichang and the other two keep an eye on them and see if they make any moves. If anything goes wrong, immediately capture them and warn them. If you capture them, be careful not to let them commit suicide..."
If the other party is really Princess Rongfu's man, he is very likely a death warrior, just like the man who killed Pei Mingyue. Once caught, he will commit suicide immediately.
"yes."
Xiao Wu responded and went out immediately, while Xiao Ye stayed outside the door without moving.
Su Li put on her coat and waited for only a quarter of an hour when Xiao Wu came back in a hurry to report, "Madam, those three are spreading kerosene around our Zhuangyuan Mansion and on the rooftops!"
It was indeed her! Princess Rongfu!
"Tell Zhichang and the other two to arrest them. Xiao Ye, you go too."
After all, there are three people on the other side.
Xiao Ye was a little worried: "But Madam, there is no one around you, I am worried."
Su Li said: "Don't worry, there will be no danger here..."
Since Princess Rongfu wanted to kill her by causing an accidental fire just like in the original novel, she would not send someone to assassinate her, so as not to arouse Pei Ji's suspicion. Therefore, she did not have to worry about someone taking the opportunity to kill her. Besides, she was not a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken. She had martial arts, sleeve arrows, and various poisons to protect herself.
Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment before following Xiao Wu out.
