Chapter 97 etc.

 Chang'an Street, 2nd floor of Shusi.

“Second Miss, I’ve told you everything I know.”

Lin Er swallowed and did not dare to look at Su Leyun's angry face.

From Lin Er's mouth, Su Leyun learned a lot of things. The previous accountant was kicked out by Lin Wenbin.

“Cuiliu, go and bring Lin Wenbin up.”

Cuiliu responded, quickly went downstairs, and ran up again after a while.

 “Miss, the person is missing.”

"How can it be?"

Lin Er couldn't believe what he heard. He pushed Cuiliu away and rushed downstairs.

Su Leyun followed and went down to the first floor.

 There was indeed not a single figure in front of the cabinet.

“Miss, has Shopkeeper Lin run away?”

"uncertain."

Su Leyun looked around, his eyes falling on the open back door.

She took a few steps forward and looked out the back door, where she could see a well.

Just as he was about to take a few more glances, Lin Wenbin's voice sounded from the door.

 “Second Miss.”

"uncle!"

Lin Er rushed forward first and grabbed Lin Wenbin's sleeve, as if he was worried that he would run away.

As soon as Lin Wenbin saw his reaction, he knew something was wrong, but his expression remained calm.

“Second Miss, have you taken good care of the account books?”

"Watch it. I wonder where Shopkeeper Lin ran away just now?"

Su Leyun withdrew his gaze from the back door and fell on Lin Wenbin.

Lin Wenbin waved the medicine bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I just remembered to get some medicine. It's at Baicaotang next to it, not far away."

His breathing was steady, but the continuous rolling of his Adam's apple showed that he was lying.

Su Leyun took this discovery into consideration. Baicaotang was indeed not far away, and there was no need for him to rush for it.

 Unless he went to another place, a place far away from the library.

“Shopkeeper Lin is not in good health?”

 “Just a little problem.”

Lin Wenbin waved his hands, not paying much attention.

Su Leyun then smiled and said, "In that case, shopkeeper Lin, you don't mind if I ask you about the account books, right?"

 “Second Miss, what do you want to ask?”

Lin Wenbin paused slightly with his hands, but quickly and calmly put the medicine bag on the cabinet.

“Lin Er has told me everything that needs to be said.”

Su Leyun did not ask directly, but said something with a half-smile.

Lin Wenbin's face darkened, showing a bit of annoyance, "Second Miss, I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

“Some of the things Lin Er said are not what you think.”

He glanced at Lin Er, who met his gloomy eyes and couldn't help but take a few steps back and then lowered his head.

Lin Wenbin sighed: "Second Miss, in fact, the bookstore has been losing money over the years. I didn't want General Sun to worry, so I tampered with the account books. Liu Ye noticed my actions and thought I had embezzled the money. , but in fact, it was me who kept investing money in the bookstore to keep the bookstore running."

 The Liu Ye he was talking about was the accountant who was dismissed earlier.

He was also the one who sent the account books and resignation letter to Su Leyun.

“Shopkeeper Lin has a deep affection for the bookstore and even uses his own money to subsidize the bookstore.”

Su Leyun stared at Lin Wenbin, but there was no flaw in his expression.

Moreover, what he said is indeed quite consistent with what Lin Er said.

 “Let the second lady see the joke.” Lin Wenbin shrugged and smiled, “I have been in the bookstore for so many years, and I don’t want to see it disappear.”

"I will solve the money problem. I just hope that Shopkeeper Lin will not do these things again in the future."

Su Leyun spoke calmly, as if he believed Lin Wenbin's words.

Seeing this, Lin Wenbin's eyes flashed with a smile, "Young lady, I am relieved."

"How much money do you need? You and Lin Er make a list and send it to Su Mansion, and I will have someone make arrangements."

Su Leyun said that and left without staying much longer with Cuiliu.

Not far from the book shop, Cui Liucai said with a puzzled face: "Miss, do you think what Shopkeeper Lin said is true?"

“Lin Wenbin is not trustworthy, but I think if someone from the government searched for it, they would not be able to find anything.”

Su Leyun looked not far away with a low voice.

 “Now, let’s wait for him to reveal himself.”

The signboard of Baicaotang came into view. Su Leyun thought of his grandfather's illness and said, "Let's go to Baicaotang and have a look."

Cuiliu followed Su Leyun step by step. As soon as the master and servant reached the entrance of Baicao Hall, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

  Turning around, he saw an out-of-control horse running rampant on the road.

Seeing the horses knocking over several stalls one after another, Su Leyun frowned, his fingertips moved slightly, and a silver light flashed.

 The next moment, the silver needle flew out and stabbed the horse.

The horse lost its strength, stopped suddenly, and fell sideways.

dusty.

 A figure rolled to the ground, stood up again, and waved his hand to disperse the dust around him.

Su Leyun was stunned for a moment. The person who fell from the horse was Princess Yongping.

“Princess, are you okay?”

Several people came up from behind and quickly surrounded Princess Yongping, asking for her welfare.

Princess Yongping was impatient, "Everyone, get out of here!"

 “Princess, this horse is dead.”

 A guard checked the horse's pulse and asked Princess Yongping.

"Dead?" Upon hearing this, Princess Yongping's eyes widened, "This is a **** BMW I just bought, how could it die so easily! Didn't I tell you not to do anything?"

“Princess, please forgive me! It was not my subordinates who did this. When my subordinates came after me, I saw the horse fall to the ground.”

Princess Yongping couldn't hear it. She only knew that the **** BMW she had just bought died like this.

 “Let me find out who did such a heavy hand to my horse!”

The angry Princess Yongping turned her head and met Su Leyun's eyes.

She frowned and stepped forward.

"Why are you here?"

“This is an interesting question from the princess, can’t the daughter of the people be here?”

Facing Princess Yongping, Su Leyun didn't have much of a good face. The whip last time and the wanton riding this time made her not feel that the Princess Yongping in front of her was worthy of her good treatment.

Upon hearing this, Princess Yongping couldn't bear it. She reached out to touch her waist, but found nothing.

“Princess Princess, is it possible that you are going to commit murder on the street?”

Su Leyun threw the whip in his hand to the ground. Princess Yongping was startled. The whip was clearly hanging on her waist. When did Su Leyun take it?

"you…"

“Princess, the daughter of the people still has some things to do, so I’ll excuse you now.”

Su Leyun bowed sideways and led Cuiliu into the Baicao Hall.

Behind him, Princess Yongping didn't know what she was thinking of, but she even moved her steps and followed him.

“Miss, how can I help you?”

 The medicine boy came up to him and greeted him warmly.

Su Leyun smiled gently and replied, "I want to buy some medicinal materials."

 “This way, please.”

 The medicine boy led Su Leyun to a counter.

 In front of the medicine cabinet, an old man with a gray beard sat. He was holding a medical book and was reading intently.
