Stockpiling?

The guy scratched his head, pondered for a while, and then froze.

"Boss, you are not talking about the batch of goods in our warehouse that have become moldy and damp, are you?"

"That's right." The catfish shopkeeper showed a cunning smile and said slowly, "Take out the goods and dry them in the next three days to get rid of the mildew. It should be almost done. Replace the missing parts with new ones and she will definitely not be able to tell."

"This...but what if she finds out?"

"Hehe, she is just a woman, she probably doesn't know anything about medicinal herbs, how could she possibly tell? Besides, even if she did, what can she do? My brother-in-law is the new governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, what can she do to me?"

"Hehe, that's what the shopkeeper said. With this relationship, he can walk around the capital city freely."

The catfish shop owner was very proud of the flattery from his waiter.

At the same time, Bai Shu from Tianxin Pavilion sent someone to the Ministry of Justice to deliver a message to Shen Xuanheng, telling him that Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei had come to Tianxin Pavilion and wanted to see him.

At this moment, Shen Xuanheng was handling official business. After learning about this, he put down the things at hand and left the Ministry of Justice. In his opinion, nothing was more important than his wife looking for him.

After Su Xuqing settled the matter of the medicinal materials, she took a walk around the West Lake and returned to Tianxin Pavilion. It was already sunset and Sun Youwei happened to be there too.

Sun Youwei rested at home for half a day, and her complexion had relaxed a lot, but her little face was tense most of the time, unlike before when she always had a smile on her face.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you Sister Su for your concern. I'm much better now."

Sun Youwei pushed the hair behind her ears and forced a smile.

While the two were talking, Tianxin stopped a carriage and Liang Heng got out of it.

Seeing Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei at the door, he pretended to be surprised, and then said in a cold tone: "You two, why are you here again? You are so idle every day."

Su Xuqing had gotten used to the distant tone in his speech and didn't care about it.

"Master Liang, I came here today to ask for an important favor."

Liang Heng glanced at Su Xuqing and saw that his expression was serious, unlike usual, so he nodded slowly.

As usual, Liang Heng brought the two of them to the study in Tianxing Pavilion.

Pushing open the door, Liang Heng strode to the crime scene and sat down.

"I wonder what important matter the prince has today?"

After these words were spoken, Sun Youwei nervously grabbed Su Xuqing's sleeve, biting her lip lightly with her pearly teeth, looking very anxious.

Seeing this, even Liang Heng felt a little uneasy. Why did she have such an expression? Was she asking the lady to help with matchmaking again today?

Su Xuqing took a deep breath, then squeezed Sun Youwei's hand, signaling her not to worry.

"Master Liang, this is what happened..."

That's how it was. Su Xuqing told Liang Heng about Sun Youwei's distress. Of course, she spoke very tactfully and concealed the part that Sun Youwei was reluctant to talk about.

“When I arrived at the scene, that beast Sudan had already drugged Miss Sun. If she had taken even a step at night, the consequences would have been disastrous.”

Liang Heng gradually frowned. He didn't expect the Sultan to be so bold that he actually dared to give aphrodisiac to the young lady of the Taifu family!

Liang Heng had always been suspicious of the Sultan, suspecting that he had a close relationship with the third prince, but he had no substantial evidence.

He has been trying to find a way to put the Sultan in jail these days. Now that this has happened, it is a good opportunity to catch him.

"Princess, the Sultan has evil intentions towards Miss Sun. Logically, shouldn't you go to the Ministry of Justice and ask His Royal Highness to arrest him and bring him to justice? Why did you come to me?"

Su Xuqing snorted softly and said angrily, "Master Liang, you don't know that the Sultan is cunning and treacherous. When I scared him away today, he threatened Miss Sun. If this matter is spread, her reputation will be ruined."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liang Heng immediately understood what Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei were thinking.

"Got it, you two want him to shut up."

"Yes, I wonder if Pavilion Master Liang is willing to help?"

Liang Heng groaned for a moment. He originally wanted to accuse Sultan of a crime through the Ministry of Justice, arrest him, and force him to seek help from outside, so as to determine who the master behind him was?

Now that Sun Youwei's incident has happened, the Sultan cannot be given the opportunity to slander her reputation.

It is not difficult to kill him quickly, but it would be a bit troublesome if you want to know who is behind him.

Seeing Liang Heng remained silent, Su Xuqing quickly said, "If this matter is difficult for Pavilion Master Liang, just speak up. We won't force you."

If it was someone else's request, Liang Heng would have ignored it, but since it was his wife's request, there was absolutely no reason for him to refuse.

"This matter is not difficult to handle, but this person is involved in other things."

"whats the matter?"

Liang Heng leaned back in his chair and smiled faintly, saying, "A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see me. He said that there might be something wrong with the Sultan, and asked me to send someone to keep an eye on him. Crown Princess, you should know what I'm talking about."

Su Xu's clear and watery eyes moved slightly, and he remembered that Shen Xuanheng had told him before that this Sultan might be the third prince's man.

"I remember now. Does that mean we can't kill him here?"

Sun Youwei suddenly became nervous when she heard this. If she let Sudan live well, she would probably have to live in fear for the rest of her life.

Liang Heng shook his head. "This man can be killed, but I have to catch him first. There are many experts in Tianxing Pavilion who want to catch this man, but the Sultan is from the patrol camp after all. Taking action in the capital is undoubtedly a provocation to the majestic imperial power and the government. So this matter requires Miss Sun's cooperation. We have to lead the Sultan out of the city."

As he spoke, Liang Heng looked at Sun Youwei.

"I wonder if Miss Sun is willing."

"willing."

Sun Youwei nodded without hesitation. This matter originally happened to her, and it was only natural that she should step forward to resolve it, so she did not hesitate for a moment.

"Very good, then let's do this..."

In this way, Liang Heng told his plan.

night.

It was already late at night when Su Xuqing returned to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, and the small courtyard of the fourth room was lit up.

As soon as she entered the yard, Su Xuqing saw Taozi and Yinhuan sitting at the table under the peach tree, with Yinhuan looking angry.

"What's wrong? Are you two arguing again?"

"No." Yinhuan snorted, "Madam, you don't know that Su Min'er came again this afternoon and cleaned the yard from inside to outside, doing all my work."

Su Xuqing looked suspicious, wondering what on earth Su Min'er was up to? Was she trying to show her affection for some shameful purpose?

"Since she likes working so much, let her do all the work next time she comes. When she gets tired, she will naturally stop coming."

Taozi didn't care about it and spoke slowly.

"That's right." Su Xuqing nodded, "Next time he comes, you guys should do the same."
