Sui Chaoyun walked towards the clean room while secretly rejoicing.
Although it took only two days to come to Yi'an this time, the great harvest was far beyond his expectations! Not only did he get the secret letter Duan Gang wrote to the third prince, he also intercepted their goods and the delivery person.
"I have made great contributions this time. After I go back, His Highness the Great Prince will definitely look at me differently. The position of Minister of Rites should be sure to win!"
At this moment, Ishihara Hai's words "Oh, it's not good!" were really shocked and he was sweating in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but ask nervously: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Ishihara Hai said regretfully: "They cannot send the intercepted people and things to Yi'an! And brother Sui cannot be escorted back to Beijing in person."
"Why?" Sui Chaoyun asked in surprise.
"Brother Sui, the Duan family in Yi'an City has many eyes and ears. If they come back to Yi'an, they may be noticed by Duan's mansion."
Sui Chaoyun smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully: "If you notice it, you will notice it. Do they still want to snatch people and goods from Sui? I understand that they do not have the strength and courage!"
Ishihara Hai shook his head and said, "Brother Sui is so bad. The Duan Mansion naturally does not have the strength and courage, but the third prince has the strength and courage."
Sui Chaoyun couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Will the third prince know?"
Ishihara Hai analyzed: "Since the goods from Duan Mansion are shipped out in several batches, they will have to make an appointment to gather somewhere, or someone will pick them up at a certain place. If they find that a batch of goods are missing, one will definitely send someone back to inform Duan Gang, and the other may also send someone to the third prince of the capital to report."
Sui Chaoyun took a breath and nodded and said, "It's reasonable!"
"It's not that Brother Sui is so vicious. Not to mention Brother Sui, even the eldest prince himself, the third prince may not take it seriously."
Sui Chaoyun was excited, shrank his neck, and looked back nervously.
Ishihara Hai continued: "If they return to Yi'an, hand over the goods to Brother Sui, and then take them to the capital by Brother Sui, not only will this delay the itinerary, but also give the third prince plenty of time to prepare. The third prince will definitely send troops to find a way to rob the goods back. That way, for Lord Sui, the itinerary to return to Beijing will be dangerous!"
Sui Chaoyun was already sweating profusely when he heard this. He asked nervously and quietly: "What should we do with my brother's opinion?"
"According to my opinion, it is better to do this. I immediately sent someone to notify my friends in the world and ask them to send the intercepted goods to the Sui Brother's Mansion. Brother Sui will leave Yi'an tomorrow and go to Anzhou with the prefect Zhang to solve the impeachment of the prefect Zhang. After staying in Anzhou for a day or two, he will then return to Beijing slowly. In this way, even if they find that a batch of goods is lost, their whereabouts are unknown, and no matter how cruel the third prince is, he cannot find that batch of goods, he will never intercept and kill Brother Sui for no reason."
Sui Chaoyun thought about it and praised sincerely: "My brother is a good plan and a good plan!"
Ishihara Hai said again: "But if there is no token, I wonder if Brother Sui will rashly take those goods and criminals in his mansion."
Sui Chaoyun said: "This is easy to say. I will immediately compile a letter and then hand over my official talisman to my virtuous brother. My virtuous brother ordered someone to take my official talisman and letter to the Sui Mansion to find my brother-in-law, that is, my Sui Mansion steward Zhen Bujian."
Ishihara nodded and said, "It's so best, things are safe!"
Finally arrived in front of the Jingfang door, Ishihara Hai took it for granted that Sui Chaoyun would go in and clean his hands. Unexpectedly, Sui Chaoyun just stood in front of the Jingfang door, and then suddenly turned around and walked back.
Ishihara Hai was so angry that he thought to himself: "Are you really anxious or fake anxious?"
So he asked casually: "Brother Sui won't go to the clean room?"
Sui Chaoyun said: "It's too late, let's go back and say goodbye to the Marquis. You follow me to go back to the inn, we have to make arrangements overnight!"

Shi Jinrou and Shi Xiaohong were having dinner with the wife in the upper room of the Madam's yard, talking and laughing. During this period, they also talked about Shi Xiaohong's riddle, but they still haven't figured out the answer. Suddenly, Shui Qing came in and reported that Shui Sheng in Shi Gongzi's mansion had something to ask for a meeting with Mr. Shi.
Shi Jinrou complained to the Grandma and hurried to the door of the inner house. The Marquis of Shui Sheng was there. Seeing Shi Jinrou coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"Young Master, everything about the master has been arranged! Now the master has accompanied Lord Sui back to the inn. Before leaving, the youngest person came to pick him up and returned home immediately."
Shi Jinrou smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I will go back and say goodbye to Mrs. Xiang Tai!"
Shui Sheng nodded and stood outside the gate of the inner house to wait. After a while, Shi Xiaohong and Shui Qing sent Shi Jinrou out. Shi Jinrou asked them to stop, and then hurried away with Shui Sheng's company.
…………
On the carriage, Shi Jinrou said to Shui Sheng half-jokingly and half-seriously through the curtain of the carriage:
"Brother-in-law, you performed well today! I was worried that you couldn't pretend, but I didn't expect that your honest look was really effective. Not only Lord Sui believed it, but even the prince and Shui Qing believed it."
Shui Sheng smiled silly and said, "Where is Shui Sheng performing well? It was the lady who gave me meticulous instructions!"
Shi Jinrou said with emotion in the carriage: "You, Sister Xiuhe, Xiao Lian, Ding Bo and Mother Gu. If it weren't for you, even if my father and I were full of abilities, it would be difficult to show it! With you, we share the same hardships and life and death as our father and daughter, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks there are, I can still be fearless and can face it with a smile!"
Shuisheng sighed in his heart as much as he said sincerely: "If the master and the lady took care of Shuisheng, how could Shuisheng be today? Shuisheng and Xiuhe will never repay the kindness of the master and the lady in this life!"
The carriage was driving on the colorful streets, and the two of them felt the same emotion and gratitude in their hearts, and for a moment, they fell into silence...
When he returned to the mansion, Shi Jinrou immediately found Ding Zhong and gave him some instructions to Ding Zhong. Ding Zhong agreed and turned around and left.
Xiao Lian, Xiuhe, Gu Mama and others had already admired the lanterns outside and returned to the mansion. Seeing Shi Jinrou coming back, Xiao Lian and Xiuhe both came to Shi Jinrou's room.
Shi Jinrou told the two of them about listening to operas and watching lanterns in the Hou Mansion, especially the splendor and grandeur of the Hou Mansion lanterns. Xiao Lian and Xiuhe were amazed.
