"Good, good, good. You have guts. I want to see what kind of storm you can create!"
Yu Zhanhong was never someone who was willing to take a loss. He had already sent someone to report to the government on the way here. The people of the magistrate court had a deep relationship with the Yu family. They brought their sabre constable over quickly and immediately controlled Li Yi.
The knife was placed against his neck, but Elementary Scholar Li was still unafraid. He was not allowed to retreat due to his scholarly attitude.
"Listen up, Yu family. Even if you bribe the officials to assassinate me, I still won't give you Hua ManLou's room deed. Just give up on that!"
"Even the Emperor wouldn't be so unreasonable!"
Yu Zhanhong silently cursed Li Yi as a lunatic. He only sent a few people to cause trouble.
They had won without even a single battle, and their reputation had even earned them gold. Even if they were angry, they shouldn't have held back at this point.
After a long period of fear, the Hundred Flowers Garden began to clear up the mess. Fortunately, the retard only made trouble in the main hall and didn't go to the private room on the second floor. If he went up and messed up like that, he really would have vomited blood and died.
"Wu wu wu. Manager, that grandson surnamed Li hit me, wu wu wu ~"
Yuan Ming covered his bulging head and sobbed silently.
Yu Zhanhong kicked him away and jokingly scolded, "Who told you not to see it, you actually went straight for the gun."
"Shopkeeper, you're still laughing? How much money did you destroy? Let me calculate .."
Yuan Ming struggled to pick up the abacus from the ground.
"Don't worry, I won't let go of a single cent of what I owe." However, for that fool to work so hard, it means that something bad has happened to Flower Mansion. "
Yu Zhanhong had always been smart. Li Yi was a fool, and the Su family's wife was not an ordinary person.
There was only one possibility for her not to be able to attend such a grand scene, and that was that she would be unable to leave.
Something big was definitely going to happen in Flowerland, so he decided to wait and see a good show.
"She's in charge. On the other side, the Su Clan's wife requests an audience."
He came too late, everything was settled.
Yu Zhanhong put away his astute smile and put on a mournful face, "Go, call him in. We have to give him an explanation no matter what!"
When Su Zhi walked in, she looked at the rubble on the ground and felt her heart turn cold. What do you mean, disaster doesn't work alone? This is it!
He had been keeping an eye on Elementary Scholar Li since long ago, but he had never expected that he would be so impulsive.
"Hello, Manager Yu."
She found Yu Zhanhong, who was huddled up under the table, and her expression instantly turned sour.
It seemed like Li Yi was going to beat him up.
"Lady Su, why did that fool barge in to beat people and destroy so many things on me? How do you want to compensate me? "
Yuan Ming came out from under the table again. As he cried, he fiddled with the abacus in his hand and said, "Let's calculate the treatment fee first. It hurts when he beats someone up, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ~"
Su Zhi had a terrible headache. Looking at the mess on the ground, she asked, "Have you already put him in the dungeon?"
"What do you mean by 'I closed'?" Yu Zhan Hong stood up, gritting his teeth in anger.
"He is breeding trouble and disturbing the order. He should be sending thirty people to the dungeon! "No, 40 boards!"
According to Yu Zhanhong's character, he would not let this matter go so easily. He would not let things go without ruthlessly extorting him.
Su Zhi also knew that she wasn't in the right. Other than allowing him to meticulously calculate what he needed to compensate, she couldn't refute him at all.
"I'll apologize on behalf of Brother Li. There is a reason behind the matter, and once everything has been investigated, I'll have a detailed discussion with the person in charge."
His top priority right now was to see that idiot in the prison. He was a weak scholar; if he was beaten, he probably wouldn't be able to last an entire night.
This trip didn't go smoothly. The Yu Family knew that someone was going to visit the prison, so they greeted them in advance.
Su Zhi had spent a lot of silver to bribe the General Prison Division, and those who were assigned as guards had successfully entered the prison.
The dark, damp dungeon was filled with the stench of rotting flesh, and rat ants were growing.
A few burly prison wardens were soldering red-hot iron as they beckoned to the prisoners who refused to confess. The smell of burning flesh spread out, and those who were timid or had low mental endurance were likely to be beaten that night.
Under the guidance of the guards, Su Zhi suppressed her discomfort and followed closely behind. She finally saw the imprisoned Li Yi.
"Big Brother Li!"
At this moment, Li Yi had changed his appearance from that of a hotheaded youth. He knew that he was being held captive, so he didn't panic. He calmly leaned against the corner of the wall and didn't cry out injustice like the other prisoners.
Hearing the call, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. "Little Su, you're here!"
Facing the spontaneous and generous Li Yi, Su Zhi didn't say much to reprimand him.
The two fell silent for a moment before she shook her head helplessly, "Brother Li is so muddle-headed!"
The matter had yet to be clarified and he had already caused such a huge mess. Apart from suffering from such grievances and not injuring a single bad person, it was truly a loss that was not worth it.
Li Yi shrugged indifferently. "It's fine, I've already thought of the consequences." "At most, I will just die and become a scoundrel, yet I am unable to get rid of him. I am truly ashamed in my heart."
Su Zhi sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, Brother Li. I will think of a way to save you." I've already made up my mind that they won't make things difficult for you for the time being. "I will have Qiu Hong come and bring you food every day. First, you have to suffer a little. It won't be long before everything is settled, then I will bring you back."
However, Li Yi shook his head and refused to accept Su Zhi's good intentions, "This matter was caused by me, so I will swallow all the bitter consequences." "Take a good look at the shop and expand the business of Flowery House. One day, those who look down on us will be amazed."
Even though she said that, Su Zhi could not stand by and watch him suffer in prison.
At the end of the day, he was doing it for the sake of the store, but the way to do it was still open for discussion.
Although he had acted rashly, it also proved that Elementary Scholar Li was a man indeed.
"Right, have you found anything today?"
"Hmm, it's not like we got nothing out of it. We've tentatively determined that this matter is related to the officials. Or rather, someone above is trying to make us suffer. "
Li Yi was stunned. "People from the government?" Was it not sent by Yu Zhanhong? "
Su Zhi smiled helplessly and explained, "This time, it can't be him. When Brother Li thought about it carefully, Yu Zhanhong's character didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all. If he really did it, would he still give you the chance to charge in and cause a ruckus? We'll definitely be on guard against you and have some thugs prepare them early, just in case. "
Only now did Li Yi realize what had happened.
"Then what do we do now? Have I wronged someone and done something wrong? "
Su Zhi shook her head again, "That may not be the case. Yu Zhonghong should have fought against him in the first place. That is an indisputable fact." After this incident, the people up there will definitely be secretly watching the joke. They became careless for a moment and thought that if we really suspected that the Yu Family was the culprit, we would be exposed. "
No matter how brilliant a criminal was, he or she would still reveal a little bit of his or her abilities when enjoying the fruits of the crime. It depended on whether or not he or she had the ability to uncover the truth of the matter.
However, Li Yi still didn't understand. Other than Yu Zhanhong, who would go against Hua Manlou? According to Su Zhi, the entire matter had become complicated and confusing for those involved with the government.
