Thinking that the middle-aged man would rather die than hand over the silk, then the secret recorded on the silk must be more important than his life.
Because it is so important, it is impossible for those who want it to give up.
But now this piece of silk was on Su Shi's body.
Even if Su Shi didn't know what secret was recorded on the silk satin, the trouble would find his way sooner or later.
What's even more troublesome now is that Su Shi feels a little nervous, excited and stimulated at this time.
Because he is so boring.
Now that such an exciting thing suddenly happened, how could Su Shi not be interested.
And he also told himself confidently in his heart, since trouble will come sooner or later, why don't I strike first.
"Master! Master!"
Lin Mo yelled twice because he found that Su Shi's expression was wrong. He was a little shocked, a little excited, and even a little nervous.
He had never seen these expressions on Su Shi's face at the same time.
So he was worried.
Su Shi came back to his senses, smiled at him, shook his head, and reassured him.
At this time, the two yamen servants walked towards Zui Foreign Country. When they saw Su Shi, their originally arrogant expressions immediately turned cautious, because looking at Su Shi's dress, they were not someone they could offend.
The two of them came to Su Shi and looked at Su Shi with smiles on their faces. One of them smiled and said, "Li Yun, I have met the young master."
Another person followed closely and said: "I, Liu Yong, have met the young master."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
When these two people saw Su Shi, although he was a noble son, he behaved politely and was polite to them, and they couldn't help but feel good about him.
Li Yun said apologetically: "Someone was drunk and fell into the water just now. Someone saw the person who fell into the water had been to this store. Due to my responsibilities, I had to come and inquire. If it disturbs the young master, I will ask for more."
"Since it is my duty, how can I blame you?"
"Thank you, sir." Seeing that Su Shi was so reasonable, the two of them clasped their fists and said gratefully.
Li Yun signaled to Liu Yong, who immediately took out a pen and paper and started recording.
"May I ask your surname, please?"
"Su Shi."
Liu Yong was about to record it when he suddenly heard the name. His hand shook and the pen and paper fell to the ground.
He stared at Su Shi blankly, never expecting to meet this evil star here.
Li Yun's expression was no better than his.
"Su Shi, the Second Young Master of General Su's Mansion?" Li Yun's voice trembled involuntarily.
"yes."
At this time, Li Yun and Liu Yong wanted to turn around and leave, but their feet seemed to have become weak and they were unable to take steps.
Li Yun forced a smile, but this smile was uglier than crying. He clasped his fists at Su Shi again and said bravely, "It turns out it's Mr. Su. I'm ignorant of Taishan. I'm disturbing you too much. Please take my leave."
After saying that, the two of them prepared to leave.
Faced with such evil stars, it is natural to stay as far away as possible.
Although Su Shi looked friendly at this time, Li Yun knew that these noble gentlemen were quick to turn against each other faster than they could read a book. If they accidentally offended him with their words, they would probably be left with nothing to eat.
But how could things go as they wished? Seeing that the two government officials were about to leave, Su Shi hurriedly stopped them and asked, "Don't you have something to ask me?"
How could Li Yun dare to mention this matter again? He hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone saw that the man jumped into the river by himself, so there is no need to trouble Mr. Su."
Su Shi said, "Since you have no questions to ask me, I have a few questions to ask Brother Cha."
Li Yun was startled for a moment, and then felt frightened in his heart, because he didn't know what tricky questions these noble gentlemen would ask when they were full and had nothing to do. If an answer was inappropriate, he might be in trouble today.
But now that Su Shi had spoken, Li Yun had to reply: "What does Mr. Su want to know?"
Su Shi pondered: "Have you found out the identity of the person who fell into the water?"
Li Yun shook his head: "The body of the person who fell into the water has not been found yet, and no one has reported anyone missing, so his identity has not been found yet."
"The body hasn't floated yet?"
"Mr. Su doesn't know something. The Nghe An River is deep, has many undercurrents, and the mud at the bottom of the river is thick. People who fall into the water will either sink into the mud or be swept away by the undercurrent. It may take two or three days for them to float up. "
Su Shi thought for a while and continued to ask: "Did you say that someone saw a person who fell into the water go to a foreign land?"
"Yes. When we were asking just now, someone said that they saw people who fell into the water stumbling in here as if they were drunk, so we came to ask."
"What else did the man say?"
Li Yun shook his head again and said, "No more."
"there is none left?"
Su Shi felt a little strange, because the two people who later appeared in Zui Foreign Country followed the man who fell into the water, but no one saw him.
"Has anyone seen how a drowning man leaves his hometown?"
"No."
Su Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Someone saw a drunkard enter the drunken foreign land, but no one noticed when three living people left the drunken foreign land.
"Since the man who fell into the water was drunk before he came here, his behavior will naturally attract the attention of others. Have you found out his whereabouts before entering the drunken place?"
Li Yun and Liu Yong looked at each other, and then they both shook their heads. It seemed that no one mentioned the whereabouts of the drowned man before he entered the drunken land.
It was as if this man appeared out of thin air at the door of his hometown, and then jumped into the Ngee Ann River without hesitation.
But what made them even more strange was that Su Shi seemed to be very interested in this matter.
They really couldn't figure out why a man who committed suicide by jumping into a river was so interested in a noble prince.
Lin Mo couldn't figure it out either.
Not only could he not figure it out, but he was also secretly shocked because every question Su Shi seemed to have had a purpose.
Lin Mo looked at Su Shi in confusion, because he had a feeling that Su Shi seemed to know something about this matter that others didn't know.
At this time, Su Shi asked again: "I see that when you were questioning just now, you would record the information of the person being questioned. Can you let me see who the person who just said that he saw the person who fell into the water entering the drunken land is?"
At this time, Liu Yong carefully replied: "Back to the young master, since it is just an ordinary suicide by diving, if the person being questioned does not want to reveal his name, we will not force him to do so."
Su Shi nodded to express his understanding. After all, most people don't want to get involved in official disputes, and many things can be avoided if possible.
"Thank you two big brothers." Su Shi said with a smile.
At this time, the two government officials were relieved and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare. If the young master has nothing else to do, we will leave now and won't disturb the young master."
Su Shi nodded, and Li Yun and Liu Yong left in a hurry without stopping for a moment.
After the two left, Su Shi suddenly said to Lin Mo, "How are your tracking skills?"
Lin Mo was stunned and asked, "Is there something wrong, Master?"
Su Shi nodded, looked at the yamen servant's back, and said, "Follow them, but don't disturb them. I want to know who will come into contact with them."
