Chapter 436: Ruining the Scene

Someone trashed the Su family's place.

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he heard the news.

Jinling City is different from Sui'an City. Here, the powerful gentry of aristocratic families have greater power than anything else. Therefore, even if there are prefects in the Gu family's seventh house and commanders in the city, they do not have absolute dominance.

For example, they would not offend the Su family easily.

After all, the Su family, like the Gu family, has existed since the founding of Jinling City. Although the name of the seventh house is the Gu family, in the end he is just a side branch.

If he succeeds in ascending to the throne and takes the position of the head of the Gu family, he may have a chance to fight with the Su family, but it is absolutely impossible now.

Therefore, after hearing that the Su family's place was smashed, Du Jingyi planned to go over and take a look at the situation in person, and the eldest aunt also said with a solemn face.

"You and Shaoyu should be careful. Anyone who dares to damage the Su family is not just a minion."

"Don't worry, auntie, we'll come as soon as we go."

Then, Du Jingyi, accompanied by Yingying and Lizhu, headed towards the place where the Su family was smashed.

Dock, warehouse.

The Su family is considered a dominant force here, but now most of the warehouses have been burned to the ground, and you can tell at a glance that someone is behind it.

When Du Jingyi arrived, Gu Shaoyu was already standing here. When he saw her coming, he quickly stepped forward and held her hand, and then said worriedly.

"Why are you here?"

"After I heard about it, I was worried, so I came here to see if the general had found someone who could do it?"

Gu Shaoyu looked complicated, and the Su family father and son were also furious, but after seeing Du Jingyi, they calmed down a little.

Du Jingyi was not stupid. She could see the struggle in the eyes of the Su family and his son. She didn't know why she always felt that this matter seemed to be related to her, so she thought about it and asked.

"If my uncle and uncle have something to say, just say it."

Seeing how frank she was, Uncle Su was the first to speak.

"The person who came opened his mouth and said, it was Yan Zhiqing who did it."

Yan Zhiqing? !

Du Jingyi was full of surprise. Both the Su family and her husband knew what this identity meant, so naturally they would not believe such nonsense. But what made Du Jingyi a little confused was that she had not revealed any tricks, so how could she suddenly do so? Was he framed?

Sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight?

Do you want the Su family to deal with Yan Zhiqing?

But now that the Su family and Yan Zhiqing are really fighting, what benefit can he gain from it?

What is the purpose?

A series of questions quickly popped up in Du Jingyi's mind, but there was no result. After a while, she still didn't understand this level, so she asked in a serious tone.

"Where did Uncle Su hear the news?"

"The person who set the fire last night used a lot of kerosene. By the time our people discovered it, it was already too late. As soon as the fire spread, the person who came announced his name and said it was the debt owed by our Su family. Yan Zhi I’m here to demand justice.”

Seeking justice?

The other party would blame Yan Zhiqing, as if there was really some life-and-death grudge between Yan Zhiqing and the Su family. The Su family and his son knew Yan Zhiqing's true identity in advance, so they knew that the identity of the visitor was false.

But what could be that person’s true identity?

"Do you still remember the figure and appearance of that person?"

"The steward said that he was wearing a black robe and could not clearly see the other party's appearance, but even if he did, it would be useless. It would be a lie anyway."

Uncle Su spoke too quickly. Something flashed through Du Jingyi's mind, but she didn't catch it. Of course she knew something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Mrs. Su took a look at the situation at the scene, took a deep breath and said.

"Go home, we'll talk about it later."

"yes."

The carriage quickly took everyone straight to the Su family, while the Su family's guys were still cleaning up the mess.

Among the crowd, a strange face suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared without a trace.

Su family, in the study.

The Su family father and son, Gu Shaoyu, Du Jingyi and his wife sat across from each other. The last time they discussed things in the study room, it was Du Jingyi who revealed his identity, and now, they are still discussing because of this identity.

"Do you think someone accidentally knew your identity and did this on purpose?"

As soon as Uncle Su spoke these words, he was interrupted by himself.

"I'm really stupid. Knowing that you are the Gu family's daughter-in-law, why would you go against us!"

And it was this sentence that made Du Jingyi react immediately, and said with bright eyes.

"Uncle Su's words make sense. Since it's wrong to say it directly, the other party may mean the opposite. He doesn't know that Yan Zhiqing is me, but he speculates that it may have some relationship with the Su family, so through You want to find me, and he should have succeeded by now."

"What's the meaning?"

The Su family's father and son suddenly sounded the alarm, and looked at Du Jingyi in a panic.

Since they learned the news, no one said anything, not even anyone at home. But now Du Jingyi was sure that the other party knew the news about her identity, so he immediately became vigilant.

Could it be that there is a mole around?

Those who have been following them are confidants for decades. If there is really a mole, many secrets of their Su family will be leaked, so they have to be nervous.

When Du Jingyi saw them like this, he understood and quickly added.

"Don't worry, uncle and granduncle. It's not a traitor. It's because Uncle Su said something at the dock just now. You said it's useless even if you see it clearly. It's fake anyway. If I'm not mistaken, the person who set the fire last night should be at the scene, so after hearing this, he can be completely sure that the Su family must know the true identity of Yan Zhiqing. Even if he can't guess it's me, he should be able to guess that it's related to the Gu family."

"What do you mean?"

"The Su family's things were burned overnight. If it were any other day, I'm afraid that the city of Jinling would have been shaking and looking for the real culprit. But now when we arrived, it was just some gossip passed on by word of mouth among the people. The only thing that can make the Su family so attitude is that the Su family knows the true identity of Yan Zhiqing and wants to protect it. After all, isn't it our Gu family?"

Hearing this, the faces of the Su family father and son were not good.

After they got the news, they rushed over, but they ignored the fact that if someone unfamiliar with them had done it, the Su family would have issued killing warrants everywhere, so they wouldn't have waited until now.

Therefore, they also knew that they had exposed Yan Zhiqing's identity, and they blamed themselves.
