Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 136 All Settled

The expression of the middle-aged guard who was on the side of Ling Qinglan was changed. He was about to take out the medicine from his arms, but his clothes were seized by Ling Qinglan from back. He knew the meaning of his master. Although he was extremely worried, he could only stop to take it.

That was impolitic…

Ling Qinglan stopped coughing and regained his calm. His heart was cold. From the beginning of the talk, he understood that “Ms. Li” definitely was not a stupid opponent like those people in the past. She could know something from his cough.

“Although I don’t want to trouble Ling Mo, this time I should ask Shalou Cult to sound out…”

When this idea occurred to him, suddenly, Su Li stood up and said with a smile, “The joke has gone too far. If you don’t mind, please accept my gift of apology.”

Ling Qinglan felt puzzled. Even if he was smart, he didn’t understand the reason why Su Li’s attitude was so different from just now. She was so aggressive just now to push him to a dead end, but now she apologized and even gave him the gift of apology?

“Please follow me…”

At that moment, Su Li got up and led the way. Ling Qinglan was slightly stunned. Vigilance flickered in his eyes, but he did not retreat. Instead, he patted his folding fan and got up. He said, “It’s not necessary to apologize. But what is the gift of apology? I’m interested and I want to see it. After you, please.”

Su Li smiled and went downstairs with Ling Qinglan. However, she was sure that this person was Qinghu. Although Ling Qinglan disguised perfectly and even his heartbeat did not change after she sounded him out. Don’t forget that Su Li was proficient in medicine and poison skills. His cough exposed a lot.

“It turned out that Qinghu had unmentionable disease. No wonder that he was the first one died in previous life.”

Su Li thought secretly. The purpose that she built the power was to help him. But she could only help him in secret, and she couldn’t let him know. It was a trouble that how to treat Ling Qinglan without letting him know.

During she was thinking, everyone came to the front of the adytum.

Ling Qinglan squinted. The middle-aged guard behind him stepped forward and blocked in front of him.

Su Li turned back and glanced at them. Without saying anything, Su Li opened the door of the adytum and swayed in. Ling Qinglan took a deep breath and followed her.

The path was short and quiet without any secret equipment.

Or, it didn’t start.

Ling Qinglan was a little relaxed, and he was sure that at least the Linli Building had no hostility to the Yinmo Cult. Otherwise, the Linli Building had a variety of methods to let him die because only one guard accompanied him into the Linli Building.

Creak—

Su Li opened one door and stretched out her hand to ask Ling Qinglan to come. She said in a low voice, “This is the gift of apology. Come in, please.”

Ling Qinglan approached to see the situation inside the room. He said with his pupils instantly shrank, “Wu Yun? She is actually here.”

“You should know that Lord Yan asked the Linli Building to secretly protect the little girl. In fact, Wu Yun was also there that day, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with the Lianshi Cult. The status of the Gong Family in Yunjing is fairly good, right?”

After hearing what Su Li said, Ling Qinglan looked slightly serious. The power of Tianya House almost infiltrated into all streets and lanes of Yunjing. They knew exact details of each aristocratic family, but they did not find the connection between the Gong Family and the Lianshi Cult.

Obviously, it was abnormal!

Ling Qinglan knew the seriousness of the matter and his smile disappeared. He gave a fist and palm salute to Su Li and said slightly, “Thank you, Ms. Li. I will remember this big gift. Can I take Wu Yun away?”

Su Li nodded slightly, and her tone was still relaxed, “This is the gift of apology to Child Ling. Madam Gong is naturally at your disposal. But I only hoped that you will not return kindness with ingratitude. The Linli Building just did small business. We just want to sell wine and we can’t withstand the destruction of the Shalou Cult. If we can meet in Yunjing in the future, I hope that you are lenient and give the Linli Building a way to exist.”

Ling Qinglan was slightly shocked. He did not nod and shake his head. He asked the middle-aged guard to carry Wu Yun on his shoulder. Then he said goodbye to Su Li and left. The carriage quickly went away.

The Tianya House was on the first street. There were only two streets between it and the Linli Building.

The middle-aged guard deliberately ran the carriage in a circle for a few times. When he made sure that no one followed them, they went into the Tianya House through the secret door. He took out the medicine as soon as they got off and left Wu Yun alone.

Ling Qinglan shook his head and let the middle-aged guard take back the medicine. The middle-aged guard sighed and did not refuse. He took back the medicine and carried Wu Yun out.

All medicines had toxin, not to mention the Fire-refined Medicine to suppress ice toxin. It was fire toxin.

He also knew that the more the master had, the closer he was to death. He did not want the master to have more. But the master coughed badly. He was afraid that if his master couldn’t maintain the balance between the ice and fire, he would freeze to death.

After locking Wu Yun in a room, Ling Qinglan didn’t question her. It was a big matter to investigate the Lianshi Cult, but the Linli Building also could not be underestimated. According to what that Ms. Li had said, it was obvious that she had confirmed his identity, and she even knew clearly the relationship between the Yinmo Cult and the Shalou Cult.

He even suspected that Ms. Li knew the relationship between the Tianya House and the Yinmo Cult. And she was very familiar with the methods used by the Tianya House to collect information. Otherwise, it would not be possible for the Tianya House to find nothing about her.

“The only fortunate thing is that the Linli Building showed them kindness. Otherwise, once the identity of Ling Li is exposed…”

Ling Qinglan muttered. He feared when he thought of that.

“According to what Ms. Li said, she will go to Yunjing in the future. If she just wants to sell wine safely, why does he go to that chaotic and dangerous place?”

Thinking about it for half day, Ling Qinglan sighed and could not tell whether the Linli Building was an enemy or a friend. Since he told the arrangements of the Shalou Cult, he naturally did not dare to ask Ling Mo to take action without knowing anything.

“Forget it. I should solve the matter of the Lianshi Cult first. No one can block my way.” A beam of cold light flickered in Ling Qinglan’s eyes, “Those bad asses got involved too much!”

…

On the other side, in the Linli Building, all people saw that Su Li giving Wu Yun to Ling Qinglan. Their reactions were different.

“Su Li, are we reckless this time? We even don’t know the background of Ling Qinglan. And we gave Wu Yun to him. If Ling Qinglan has relationship with the Lianshi Cult, don’t we screw it up?”

Qu Qingning looked worried and what he said was also the doubts that all people concerned. Ordinary people couldn’t get into Yunjing. They didn’t have any people on their own side, so they didn’t know the origin of Ling Qinglan.

However, Fang Yuan considered that Su Li might know Ling Qinglan which was like that he knew Ling Li and Ling Mo. After all, … both of them had the same surname Ling.

“There is no doubt that Ling Qinglan was on his side.”

Su Li said slowly as she glanced at Fang Yuan. It seemed that she had saw through his thought.

Fang Yuan’s eyes moved up and down, but Qu Qingning and others were still puzzled. They didn’t realize. However, when Qu Qingning saw Fang Yuan was pale, he suddenly realized and said with laughter,

“Sure, he is. Ling Qinglan is the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary. People who want to work there must be innocent. He is so powerful that he can arrange people there!”

Yin Xuetong and others were still puzzled but Qu Qingning did not explain who “he” was. Ling Li’s identity only could be privately talked about. If they said out, someone might be listening on the other side of the wall. He and Fang Yuan still had the consciousness.

“Let’s talk less about him later. Leave the Lianshi Cult alone. We should try to have no relations with it.”

Su Li looked cold and left briskly after telling them what they should do.

“Tut-tut!”

Qu Qingning signed for something that no one knew. Fang Yuan looked gentle and smiled.

For three consecutive days, Su Li did not go to the Linli Building, but quietly stayed in the courtyard of the school. She enjoyed the care of her eldest brother Su Qingtan.

Three days later, a large number of troops appeared in the Qinghe Town suddenly. They surrounded the Jin Family and the Lin Family.

Jin Zhentian and Lin Xingrong were happy about that. They thought that Yan Shixun was forced to rebel and was about to use the private soldiers at home. But when they saw that the head of the troops was not Yan Shixun but a young man in black uniform of the Supreme Judiciary. They immediately dumbfounded and lost the resistance with their hands and feet getting cold.

When did the people of the Supreme Judiciary arrive? They didn’t get any news!

The heads of the two families and the lineal offspring of the two families were taken away. Watching that, Yan Shixun was instantly relaxed. This struggle lasted for half a year and it finally came to an end.

Looking at Ling Qinglan who was serious in black uniform, Yan Shixun couldn’t help but sigh inside. He tried his best to find Wu Yun, but he didn’t find any clue. While Ling Qinglan arrived in Qinghe Town only for two days, he caught Wu Yun from somewhere no one knew. His efficiency of solving the case was amazing.

It was unknown that what method Ling Qinglan used to question Wu Yun. She confessed what she did and even told the relationship between her and the Jin and the Lin families. This time, the two families could hardly rise. They conspired to steal the official silver and colluding with the power of the martial arts circle. The two families must be beheaded!

And the lineal offspring of the two families would exile. Lin Yanxing and Jin Ruolan who should have a great future would completely be homeless. Lin Xiang, who had just become Lin Yanxing’s concubine, was even more dumbfounded. Her regrets and bitterness almost drown her.

She tried her best to have relationship with Lin Yanxing, but she was exiled in the end. If she could stay at her home as a miss, how could this kind of disaster occur to her?

After this incident, Su Huanli was finally released. Although no one insulted him in the prison, he was so scared that he lost so much weight. He was totally dispirited.

However, after he saw Su Qingtan who was in a black uniform, his spirit recovered at once. Suddenly, he knew that one of his sons was a high-ranking official in the capital of the country. It was more useful than any panacea.

Su Qingtan, who knew what happened in their family, did not have good attitude to Su Huanli. He only talked to him with few words to show his concern. He also said that he would go home to visit his mother when he had the free time. He even didn’t mention Zhu Yan and Mam. Su-Cui.

Su Huanli only thought that his son wanted to maintain the official prestige, and he agreed gladly. He did not notice that all of what Su Qingtan want to do were because of Su Li.

After the Su Family got rid of the suspicion, Su Qingtan thought that he would soon join in the investigation of the case. But after waiting for a long time, Ling Qinglan did not appear. He was puzzled. He waited for two more days and finally couldn’t help but visit him in the Yan House.

There was a large yard specially set for Ling Qinglan to handle the case in the Satrap’s Mansion. People there were all the henchmen Ling Qinglan took from Yunjing. Su Qingtan took a deep breath, he… certainly was a henchman of Ling Qinglan!

Although everyone knew that Ling Qinglan was close to the Third Prince on the surface, only his henchmen knew that Ling Qinglan seemed to be loyal to another mysterious power. But Su Qingtan couldn’t know more because he was a newcomer.

In the National Academy, everyone had their backer, except Su Qingtan. A humble home always had no noble people in ancient time. He was not an exception.

Moreover, only when he entered the National Academy, did he know that almost every man who was called the proud one in the National Academy was a talent in martial arts. Dahan Country in fact paid more attention to cultivation of martial arts, not like what said in the book that it put pen and sword in the same place.

And he could only be regarded as a man with surficial grasp of the martial arts in the National Academy.

If Ling Qinglan did not appreciate his character and did not accept him in advance, he would not come out from the National Academy in advance and become the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary with a bright future. He could only return to the Qinghe Town at most and became a useless and small official.

Thinking of so many things, Su Qingtan knocked on the door of Ling Qinglan. When the door opened, he saw Ling Qinglan looked at him with a smile. Ling Qinglan said with a deep meaning, “I thought you will come over in two more days. You really need to practice your spirits.”
