Four hours later, it was precisely when the sky was at its darkest.
Fang Yuan was as tired as a dead dog. He lay on the carriage full of raw materials and watched Su Li skillfully driving the carriage to the depths of the mountain forest. He felt more and more strange. How could Miss Su have such a brilliant driving skill with her experience?
In his eyes, Su Li was like a cloud of fog, more and more mysterious and elusive.
After a few breaths, he sat up reluctantly and looked at the back of the carriage. He couldn't help but frown and blurted out, "Little … Su Li, the carriage is very heavy and will definitely leave deep ruts. We will be easily discovered."
"No." Three words came from the front of the carriage, and then there was no more words.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but frown more tightly. Thinking of what happened in the South Street a few days ago, he finally didn't ask again and turned back to lie down to recover his strength.
After two hours, the sky was already turning white. The carriage finally stopped with a creak.
Fang Yuan turned over and jumped off the carriage. Looking around, he was shocked. This place was so hidden. He didn't expect that there was such a place in the Dasu Town.
They were in a naturally formed valley. The valley was extremely narrow. The mountain walls on both sides were smooth and towering, covering the sky and the sun. The valley was covered with vines. If Su Li didn't bring him here, he would never find this place.
"The carriage stops here. Let's go back. After a while, the Su House will be in chaos. I have to rush back to join in the fun. "
Su Li said lightly. Fang Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You'd better think about how to cover the ruts."
Then he walked out of the valley worriedly, but found that there was no trace all the way.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yuan was so shocked. He clearly saw the ruts left by the carriage along the way. How could they disappear? It was so weird!
"Go back quickly."
Su Li looked as usual and urged him to leave the valley. Fang Yuan woke up and immediately followed her. After walking along the way, he couldn't help but fall into a greater shock. The ruts they came over really didn't leave any trace. Su Li … how did she do it?
"It's just a little trick. Don't ask more."
Su Li said perfunctorily. She entered the Su House from the back door of the Jinyuan Court and disappeared.
"It's just a little trick?" Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. Even the Nanjiang Country, which was famous for its deceit, didn't have such magical skills.
When Su Li returned to the Jinyuan Court, it was the time to get up. Mammy Li came to wake her up before she lay down after changing clothes.
With cultivation, Su Li didn't feel tired even though she didn't sleep all night. She washed, ate, and went to school to study as usual. Only when she was alone would she show a little distressed.
"It wasn't easy to cultivate the Mysterious Extreme Soil, and it's all used up just like that. What a pity …"
She had accidentally obtained the method of making the Extraordinary Soil in her previous life. She only needed to sprinkle a little bit of the Extraordinary Soil along the way, and within six hours, no matter how much pressure she was under, she would recover to her original state in a short time. Moreover, it also had the effect of concealing her aura.
After six hours, the Extraordinary Extreme Soil would become ordinary soil, and no one would be able to detect any abnormalities. In her previous life, she had relied on the Mysterious Extreme Earth to escape countless pursuits. In this life, he had naturally created some early on, just in case.
After the morning class, Su Li returned to the Jinyuan Court. The Su House was still quiet as usual.
"It seems that Su Huanli is not stupid to block the news."
Su Li put down the writing brush and dried the ink on the envelope. Her calm face was a little cold.
At this moment, in the warehouse of the back mountain, Su Huanli looked at the corner of the warehouse with only a few small bags of seasonings left. His face was extremely ugly. He punched the wall fiercely and roared in a low voice,
"The warehouse of the Su Family is extremely hidden. Who did it? With only a little seasoning left, the Baiwei Building can't last for two days! "
Li Yin also frowned tightly. Such an accident really caught him unprepared.
"Master, the guards were all stunned by the sleeping incense and didn't know anything. And … there is no trace of carriage driving outside the warehouse. It's so weird. "
Li Yin analyzed it sentence by sentence. Su Huanli immediately said angrily, "Can these seasonings fly away by themselves? Old Li, is there really no raw materials in the mountains near the Dasu Town?"
Li Yin quickly bowed his head and said, "Master, after a month of searching, the mature period of this spice plant has already passed. All raw materials have been collected in the warehouse. Even if we find the mountains around other towns, there will be no raw materials at all. "
"Bastard, it's really outrageous!"
Su Huanli trembled with anger, "The time is too coincidental. There must be a mole in the Su Family! Damn it. Without these raw materials, the Beggar's Chicken will be gone, and the reputation of the Baiwei Building will plummet! It's really a good method. Who is against the Su Family … "
The more Su Huanli said, the more he felt cold and desperate. The enemy's methods were far more than just brilliant. Their every move seemed to be seen by the other party, while they were still in the dark. They had no idea who the culprit was.
After a moment of breathing, Su Huanli calmed down and whispered, "Don't make it public. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to the Yang Family and the Zhu Family. You go to Second … Li and ask if other seasonings can be used instead. If not, let her develop new dishes immediately!"
Li Yin sighed when he heard the words. How could there be a new dish so easily? The Baiwei Building might be finished.
Thinking of this, Li Yin didn't say it and hurried to the Jinyuan Court.
"Raw materials are stolen? Develop new dishes? "
In the study, Su Li stood up in surprise and was shocked, "Grandpa Butler, what happened? Have all those raw materials been stolen? "
Li Yin sighed and was about to explain, but he heard the shout of the guard outside, "Butler, there is a letter on the gate. Come and have a look!"
Li Yin immediately looked serious and hurried to the gate. He took the envelope in the guard's hand and asked, "When did it happen?"
"I just opened the door, and the letter fell from the crack of the door." The guard answered truthfully, which made Li Yin frown more. It was impossible to know the specific time.
With a sigh, Li Yin unfolded the note and looked at it. His face changed slightly. Without saying anything, he took the note to Su Huanli.
"I am lucky. I have hundreds of kilograms of raw materials for seasoning the Beggar's Chicken! If the Su Family is interested in buying, they can go to the Sanhe Bridge to trade at midnight. Each kilogram is priced at eight hundred taels. With the financial resources of the Su Family, they can afford ten thousand taels of silver. Remember, if you come with your subordinates or officers and soldiers, I will disappear immediately. If you still want the Baiwei Building, you can come to trade alone! I won't wait for you! "
Su Huanli read it with trembling hands and immediately tore the note into pieces angrily, "It's a naked blackmail! Hateful! Hateful! "
Li Yin shook his head helplessly, "Master, this person stole the seasoning and then sold it blatantly! Obviously, he knows that our Su Family will never give up the Beggar's Chicken. One kilogram of raw materials can make three hundred Beggar's Chickens. Including the precious Beggar's Chicken, the gross profit is only about two thousand and five hundred taels of silver. Our Su Family accounts for forty percent, which is only one thousand taels of silver. This person asked for eight hundred taels, which is the bottom line. It's terrible … "
After listening to the score, Su Huanli suddenly broke into a cold sweat. When did their Su Family provoke such a terrible enemy? He took away all the seasoning secretly and could thoroughly find out the bottom line of the Su Family's profit. He was not a mole but a roundworm in the stomach of the Su Family!
"However, this person still didn't take one thing into account." Li Yin whispered, "Master's false accounts were so vivid that the Zhu and Yang Families didn't find anything unusual. In this way, our Su Family can account for sixty percent of the profit. The Zhu and Yang Families account for more than half of the loss of eight hundred taels. In fact, our loss is not much."
Su Huanli looked a little better, but still looked terrible, "Tonight, you hide in the dark and go with me. If you can catch this person, I must peel off his skin!"
Li Yin was silent for a moment and finally nodded slightly.
Su Huanli sighed and said helplessly, "Old Li, I know you are in a dilemma, but you also know that the Su Family is not a martial arts family. In this dangerous situation, I can only rely on you. If you can help me catch the thief, you can take half of the property of the Su Family."
Li Yin was slightly shocked and quickly refused, "Master, you are too serious. I never want to seize the property of the Su Family. I just want to live a retired life here peacefully."
Su Huanli smiled and squinted, "Then I won't force you. You should be careful today."
"Yes, Master."
In the afternoon, the weather was very good. The Baiwei Building was still lively as usual, but Fang Yuan smelled an unusual atmosphere. It seemed that under the calm surface, the undercurrent was surging, and it was impossible to predict the future.
"How is she going to deal with those seasonings …" Fang Yuan was puzzled, but he dared not go to the Su House to find Su Li, for fear of exposing himself.
In the blink of an eye, it was night. The moonlight covered the Sanhe Bridge like a veil, and the calm lake reflected a lonely figure.
By the moonlight, Su Li saw herself in the lake. It was a man in his thirties with a black face and a beard. His face was extremely ordinary. He was tall and thin, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole.
Anyone who saw him would never associate him with the most beautiful Miss Su in the Dasu Town.
"Fortunately, my cultivation has reached the acquired ninth hurdle. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will take me several days to recuperate after such stretching."
When Su Li muttered in her heart, a figure finally appeared on the other side of the Sanhe Bridge. It was Su Huanli who came alone.
When Su Huanli saw the man's face, his heart suddenly tightened. He had never seen this man before.
"Who the hell are you? What grievances do you have with the Su Family? Why do you steal the goods of the Su Family? "
Su Huanli asked three questions in a row. Su Li chuckled and said in a low and unpleasant voice, "Old guy, don't talk nonsense! Do you want the hundreds of kilograms of raw materials or not? "
Then, Su Li turned her head to look under the bridge and said in a cold tone, "Old guy, I clearly let you come alone, but you have to bring someone with you. Is it not clear enough on the note I gave you?"
Li Yin, who had just dived into the water, suddenly felt nervous. Was he discovered? Or was he bluffing?
"You are talking nonsense!" Su Huanli was guilty, but his face didn't change, "I came alone. Don't slander me!"
"Ho ho ho …"
