When Su Chen passed by Li Shitong, he stretched out his hand to pull her. Li Shitong was so surprised that she almost dropped the teapot in her hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Shitong couldn't help but said angrily when he saw clearly that it was Su Chen in the moonlight.
"Shh!" Su Chen made a silent gesture, gesturing for Li Shitong to join him.
"What's wrong?" Li Shitong came to Su Chen confused, his beautiful eyes full of questions, but Su Chen didn't intend to explain, for fear of scaring away the thief.
Fortunately, Li Shitong knew that Su Chen must have some purpose for doing this, so he didn't ask any more questions. The two of them just squatted quietly in the corner and waited.
Not long after, a dark shadow walked into the front hall, which made Li Shitong immediately look surprised. Fortunately, she remembered not to make a sound, but looked at the dark shadow with surprised eyes.
The black figure did not notice Su Chen and Li Shitong, but he did not wander around the hall. He just walked around the hall and then groped on a table for a while.
Finally, the black shadow turned and left quietly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Su Chen's mouth. The moment the other party left, he could clearly see his face through the moonlight.
"Who is that?"
Li Shitong also saw it, but she didn't recognize him. After the other party left, she asked.
"It's a servant of Xia Hongjin."
Su Chen said that if it were anyone else, he would not remember such a small person, but Su Chen had a photographic memory, so remembering these things would be stress-free and would be almost effortless for him.
The two of them walked out of the dark corner, lit the lamp, and came to the table.
There was originally a box on the table, which originally contained some worthless things. But at this moment, Su Chen opened the box and took a look, and found that there was something extra inside.
A pure silver feather exudes a shining luster under the light.
"This is?"
Su Chen picked up the feather with doubt in his eyes.
Li Shitong said: "I know what this is. It is a token of the royal family of the Yaohai Kingdom. It is only given to the most respected ministers of the royal family."
"You really know everything."
Su Chen praised, then smiled and said, "Why did Xia Hongjin give this to me?"
"I guess he wants to frame you!"
Li Shitong said, "Since this thing was given to the courtiers by the royal family, and no one has given it to you before, but you have one here for no reason, it can be reasonably presumed that you stole it. If you dare to steal something from the royal family, this
The crime is serious."
"Interesting, you want to use this method to deal with me?"
Su Chen was playing with this silver feather in his hand. No matter where he was, it was a big deal to steal something from the royal family. What's more, whether it was Chu Dishi or the Alchemy Guild, Su Chen didn't get them seriously.
In this case, accusing Su Chen of stealing royal items would be very damaging to Su Chen.
Xia Hongjin was obviously desperate and came up with this method.
"Now that we know this, we can take the feathers away first. In this way, when Xia Hongjin and others bring people to look for them, they will be in vain."
Li Shitong said.
"No need."
Su Chen said calmly, "Since Xia Hongjin wants to play, then let's play with him."
"how do you want to do it?"
Li Shitong asked.
"I have a better way."
Su Chen smiled and then picked up the
The silver feather was observed under the light, with a faint cold light flashing in his eyes, "Since Xia Hongjin wants to die, then there is no harm in letting him die."
the next day.
Early in the morning, as expected, someone banged on the door.
"Open the door, the city guards will inspect."
Su Chen opened the courtyard door, and outside was an unfamiliar middle-aged commander of the city guard.
"Are you Su Chen?"
Seeing Su Chen open the door, the middle-aged commander also said arrogantly, "An important item has been stolen now. I suspect you stole it. Now let us enter your mansion immediately. We will search the house thoroughly. And
A space ring for everyone.”
"Why?"
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, not having any intention of letting the other party enter the house.
"You mean, do you plan not to cooperate with the normal work of the city guard?"
The middle-aged commander said solemnly.
"Tch, what's so great about the City Guards? My brother Chen knows you, General Nie."
Gu Qianxue stood aside, akimbo, puffing out her cheeks and shouting, "If you have the ability, let General Nie come in person before we talk about the search."
"Humph, General Nie is busy with everything, so how can he personally intervene?"
The middle-aged commander said coldly, "What's more, even if General Nie comes in person, the result will be the same. The valuable token of the royal family has been lost. You are suspected by the owner and must be searched."
"Oh? Is it possible that as long as the owner suspects someone, your city guards can search his residence?"
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "If that's the case, I lost a teacup yesterday, and I suspect it might have been stolen by the Seventeenth Prince. I'd also like you to go and search for it at his place."
puff!
Everyone present screamed, "What are you talking about? The Seventeenth Prince is a noble man from Tianhuang. How could he steal your mere teacup?"
What's more, who dares to search the Seventeenth Prince? Isn't that asking for trouble?
"You are so impudent, who gave you the courage to insult the Seventeenth Crown Prince?"
A figure emerged from the crowd. It was Xia Hongjin. He pointed at Su Chen and said, "You stole my royal token. It was given to my father by the fourth prince before, and you actually stole it. And you
Now you are slandering the seventeenth prince, how brave you are."
Su Chen said casually, without even raising his eyelids: "You, the son of a guilty minister, how can you speak?"
Xia Hongjin's expression changed drastically. What he is most taboo about now is for others to mention the identity of the son of his guilty minister. You must know that in the past, he used his identity as the son of Commander Xia to mobilize more than a dozen city guard commanders at once without any problem. As a result,
Now, it's difficult to even command a leader. And all of this was brought about by Su Chen.
Thinking of this, Xia Hongjin immediately gritted his teeth, but then he seemed to remember something and sneered: "I'm not qualified to talk to you, so does he?"
After saying that, Xia Hong stepped aside and revealed a figure behind him. It was Yi Si whom Su Chen had met at the Alchemy Guild that day.
"Boy, we meet again!" Yi Si said proudly.
"Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be a fool!" Su Chen showed a smile.
But Yi Si's expression changed. He was already bitter about being called a fool by Su Chen that day, otherwise he wouldn't have come here with Xia Hongjin.
In fact, when Xia Hongjin found Yi Si yesterday, the two almost hit it off. Yi Si was still brooding over what Su Chen scolded that day. What was even more annoying was that Vice President Dai was still on Su Chen's side.
