"What! Brother Dog was captured?!"

It was noon again. As soon as Su Su woke up, she heard Shen Huan tell her that Li Xinglan had been taken away by people from the yamen.

She gave a brief account of what had happened.

Su Su slumped on the edge of the bed. Damn it, she seemed to be in trouble! She had hurt Dog Brother!

When she realized what was happening, she rolled over and put on her shoes, "Such a big deal! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shen Huan also felt aggrieved, "The young master specifically instructed me before he left not to disturb your rest."

Su Su: e=(′o`*))) Alas…

Su Su knew that she had little influence and needed to find someone to support her. She hurriedly asked Shen Huan, "Where is Li Sandie?"

"The young master said that the third master left before dawn today with Prince Pingwu's western expedition team."

Su Su: ...

What this means is that the two thighs just walked away in such a smooth and graceful manner.

Su Su was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She quickly washed up, put on a veil, and hurried to the yamen.

The yamen was not far away. After jogging for more than ten minutes, Su Su wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned her head to look at Shen Huan who was following behind her, and nodded firmly at her.

Shen Huan understood, ran to the drum of grievance, and hit it hard with a wooden hammer.

"Boom boom boom..."

The dull sound of drums echoed in Qintai Street, and two yamen runners walked towards Su Su impatiently.

"You've never been idle all day!" One of the yamen runners frowned, "What's going on?"

The bailiff's voice was deep and powerful, and his stern expression frightened Su Su. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "My brother was arrested early this morning. There must be some injustice involved. He was wrongly accused."

There was another yamen runner with very dark eyebrows standing next to him. He happened to be one of the people who went to arrest Li Xinglan in the morning. He looked Su Su up and down.

The little girl was petite and thin. Although she was wearing a veil, her eyes were beautiful. Their black and round eyes were completely different from the young master Li's seductive and aggressive fox eyes. She exuded innocence.

His tone softened as he asked, "Are you his sister?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Su nodded repeatedly, "My two lords, how is my brother now?"

"In the jail, the trial will be held at the appointed time." (3 to 5 p.m.) After saying this, the two yamen runners walked away, stroking the swords at their waists.

Su Su looked up at the sky. It was noon now. She still had some time to go to the Fairy Tale House to discuss countermeasures with Blind Chen.

She took Shen Huan and ran to the fairy tale house in a hurry.

Business there is still good, with long queues, but not as good as at the beginning.

She didn't care about that and quickly pulled over Blind Chen who was chatting animatedly with a customer, "Uncle Chen, Gou Ge has been taken away!"

Blind Chen, who was originally smiling, suddenly stopped smiling. His smile froze on his face. After nodding and apologizing to the customer, he quickly pulled Su Su to the backyard and asked, "Where was Brother Gou taken?!"

"The government arrested Brother Gou!" Su Su twisted her handkerchief between her fingers and spoke weakly, "Last night, Er Gou and I sneaked into Tongfu Restaurant and pulled out all the fortune trees belonging to Chen Taifu. They thought Brother Gou did it..."

Blind Chen stared at Su Su in a daze for a while before slowly coming back to his senses. "Pulling out all the money trees can ruin someone's fortune. How could Er Gouzi join in such a ridiculous prank with you?"

"Is this the point? Shouldn't the point be Brother Gou?" Su Su's old face turned red, but fortunately, the veil was covering it, so people couldn't see clearly.

The two of them lowered their heads and whispered to each other, discussing countermeasures. Chuanzhu Fuling and the other one lay behind the kitchen door, listening with their ears pricked up.

Fuling's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. She always felt that Su Su was joking. She actually did such a thing.

Chuan Zhu was trying to hold back his laughter. The young master had a miserable life. He encountered all kinds of troubles.

Finally, when it was almost time to apply for leave, Su Su pulled Blind Chen and headed straight to the yamen. Fuling and Chuanzhu looked at each other and made up their minds.

They greeted the busy Rendong and Su Ling, and followed Su Su's footsteps.

Chen Taifu, the owner of Tongfu Restaurant, sued Li Xinglan, the owner of Fairy Tale House.

The news spread in just a few hours, and many people gathered at the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement. Su Su and Blind Chen squeezed for a long time before they got to the front.

Seeing Li Xinglan squinting his eyes, standing with his hands behind his back, looking like you can do whatever you want to me, you can kill me or cut me up as you please, Su Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it didn't seem like there was the torture she had imagined.

The gavel rang with a bang. Han Zhiling stroked his goatee, his tone dignified and inviolable. "Boss Chen is suing you for breaking into his house in the middle of the night and killing four of his money trees, each worth a hundred taels. Is that true?"

Li Xinglan didn't even open his eyes and answered clearly, "No."

"You did it! And you still refuse to admit it!" Chen Taifu held up another withered money tree and spun it around for everyone to see. "I've been caring for this tree for five years. I have feelings for it. We were like father and son, and now it's gone from me like that. How is this any different from murder?"

It may sound exaggerated, but damaging other people's property at will is indeed a crime.

The crowd nodded repeatedly, saying it was too much.

Li Xinglan still didn't open his eyes, but he was still unforgiving. He said in a faint voice, "Why would I pull this thing out of your hand in the middle of the night? I can't find your mother's grave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Taifu's face turned dark again. The bursts of laughter from the crowd made his face even darker, turning purple.

Han Zhiling also tried to hold back his laughter, and actually felt that what Li Xinglan said made some sense.

He knew this young man, and his identity could be said to be of great importance. Not to mention that he was so young and had King Pingwu in charge of his restaurant, his father was the richest man in Jiangnan, which was enough to make him arrogant.

He also knew that even if this young man really did it, he would not be punished, but he still had to go through the formalities and not leave any room for criticism.

After thinking about it, he pretended to be stern and warned: "Don't make personal attacks."

Li Xinglan finally opened his eyes. He looked up at Chen Taifu, his bloodshot eyes still etched. "Where's the evidence? If you make a false accusation without evidence, you'll have your tongue pulled out."

When asked for evidence, Chen Taifu was not panicked. He nodded calmly, "Of course I have evidence."

When he went back in the morning and waited for the court to open, he realized something was wrong after calming down. Although he firmly believed that Li Xinglan was just unhappy with him for stealing his business, he had no evidence and could not convict him based on his empty words.

After thinking about it, a figure emerged in his mind.

Chen Taifu bravely gave Li Xinglan a mocking smile, "Do you really think I don't have evidence? You tree-killer!"

He bowed and clasped his fists towards Han Zhiling, "Sir, I have a witness!"

After hearing these words, Su Su and Li Xinglan both raised their eyebrows.

They both thought at the same time, what the hell, you have a witness with a hammer.

There was a commotion among the crowd, and then a man was carried up by two yamen runners on a wooden board.

Although his legs are disabled, it can be seen that he is well taken care of. He is dressed cleanly and his hair is combed meticulously.

The man was actually quite handsome, but the greed and madness in his eyes made him look hideous.

From the moment Su Su saw him, hatred surged in her.

It turned out to be this beast!

Li Xinglan's eyes, which were originally half-open, suddenly became sharp. He looked at the man on the ground, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, but it was sinister.

Blind Chen, who knew him well, gave the man a sympathetic look and silently mourned in his heart, "If nothing unexpected happens, you're going to die."
