Shengjing Noble

Chapter 638 I'll Clean Up the Aftermath

After breakfast, Su Lanyin told everyone else everything.

Huo Jingxiao didn't expect Xianglan to really tell the whole truth. He couldn't help feeling guilty for having wronged her before.

"I thought she would help those people murder us."

Song Huaizhi said: "In fact, Xianglan is also a victim. Her sister is still in the hands of that group of people."

Su Shengming asked: "So what should we do tonight? Face the enemy head-on? I'm afraid they have more people and more power, and we are no match for them."

Su Lanyin smiled and said, "Who said we are going to fight each other?"

"Not fighting? Then what should we do?" Huo Jingxiao wondered.

"Third brother, take out all the banknotes I asked you to hide before."

Although Su Shengming was puzzled, he still handed all the banknotes in the secret compartment of the carriage to Su Lanyin.

"What do you want these things for? You're not going to give them to those bandits to buy peace, are you?"

Su Lanyin glared at him: "Do you think I am such a coward?"

"That's not true..."

"I have written a list of spices. Third sister-in-law, you and Xianglan are responsible for buying them. The more the better. Also, Third brother and Shi... Fourth brother, you two should exchange all these banknotes for cash and bring them back."

Because Xianglan was there, Su Lanyin asked the prince to agree to reveal his identity.

Although I don't have to be on guard against this little girl, it is still a little inconvenient.

So she decided to keep it a secret for now.

Huo Jingxiao was somewhat dissatisfied with being called "fourth brother", but he understood that she had suddenly changed her mind, so he had to accept it.

The two groups went out and did their own things, while Su Lanyin stayed behind to decorate the room.

Finally, everything was got back at noon.

Su Lanyin first took the spices to the kitchen, and no one knew what she was busy with. She didn't come out until an hour later.

Then she sprinkled all the perfumed powder she had prepared into the box containing the silver.

"Okay, move these boxes under the bed."

"Yes."

Everything is ready, just waiting for that group of people to come and die at night.

……

Soon, night falls.

Xianglan placed the porridge with the knockout drug on the table and said with an uneasy look on her face, "This is enough for twenty people. Do you really want to drink it?"

Su Lanyin replied: "Of course not, but this is evidence."

"evidence?"

"Yes, then you must insist that they gave you this medicine, understand?"

Xianglan nodded, not quite understanding: "Uh... Brother Su, do you want to report them? But the county magistrate is the culprit."

"So what? There is a county magistrate here, and of course there are also county lieutenants and county lieutenants. It is impossible for officials assigned by the court to all come from the same place. This is called avoiding suspicion."

"If this case gets out of hand, and the person involved is the county magistrate's most capable assistant, then the county magistrate will be implicated. According to the law, he will also be investigated and interrogated, and all of this will be decided by the county lieutenant."

"So you want to use public opinion to put pressure on the county lieutenant to investigate the matter and catch the mastermind behind it? But he is just a small county lieutenant after all." Su Shengming said worriedly.

Su Lanyin was confident: "I have inquired about it. This county lieutenant is a military officer. He has just taken office and has not yet joined the gang. The most important thing is that this person should be in the same group of military officers as our eldest brother. With this relationship, he dare not protect him."

Huo Jingxiao asked: "If we do this, won't our identity be exposed?"

"So what? In my opinion, punishing these people is more important."

As soon as the firm words fell, a cat's meow was heard outside.

Su Lanyin immediately gave a look, and everyone except Xianglan fell on the table and fell into a coma.

Xianglan took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her nervousness, and ran out to open the door for them as agreed.

Sure enough, the people who came were wearing black clothes and masks, but they were indeed their officials.

The leader asked, "How is it? Did you succeed?"

Xianglan nodded nervously: "Yes, it worked. They were all knocked out by the knockout drug."

The officer frowned and asked, "Where did you get this knockout drug?"

"I bought it on the black market, using the money they gave me for groceries."

"You little bastard, you're so smart and capable, you can join us in the future, hahaha..."

Xianglan asked hurriedly: "Where is my sister?"

"Your sister is still alive. Tell me, where is their money?"

"Give my sister back to me, or I won't tell you."

The other party was a little angry: "You stupid girl, you still dare to negotiate with me? Even if you don't tell me, I can search it myself!"

"If you could find it, you could have found it the day you entered the city. Why did you send me in to investigate?"

"You... okay, you little girl is of some use. Someone, bring her sister here."

The man compromised for money and asked someone to bring Xianglan's sister up.

The little girl was skinny and her left little finger was wrapped in gauze, which was obviously shorter.

As soon as the two sisters met, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Abao! Abao, are you okay? Sister is so worried!"

This name was given to her sister. Although she was not loved by her parents, she wanted her sister to be a treasure, so she named her Abao.

"Sister, I'm fine... I was worried about you too."

Xianglan held her hand and asked tremblingly, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore...don't worry, sister." A Bao forced a smile obediently, looking even more pitiful.

"Sister will never let you suffer again, woooo..."

Seeing the two sisters crying non-stop, the officer became a little impatient.

"You two shut up, that's enough, tell me where they hid their silver."

Xianglan wiped her tears and said, "There are some under the bed in every room."

When the leader heard this, he became very excited and rushed into the first room with his men.

I lifted the sheets and saw several boxes underneath.

In fact, Su Lanyin and the others did not have so much money, but just in case, they put a layer of silver on the surface of each box, and there were stones underneath.

This time, there were more than thirty officials, divided into three groups to move boxes to each room.

After dragging all the boxes out from under the bed, I subconsciously opened them and checked them.

As a result, as soon as the box was opened, a pungent smell of perfumed powder spread out and penetrated into everyone's breath.

At first they didn't notice anything unusual, but within a few seconds, some of them fell to the ground and fainted.

The leader realized something was wrong, but it was too late and he just felt dizzy for a moment.

He staggered out, holding on to the wall. As soon as he reached the door, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, unconscious.

At this time, several people who were pretending to be fainted at the table in the cafeteria sat up.

Su Lanyin said: "It's almost done, it's time for us to go on stage."

Su Shengming stood up and said, "Huaizhi and I will be responsible for loading the silver onto the carriage."

Huo Jingxiao stretched himself and said slowly, "Then I will take care of the aftermath."
