Chapter 252 The scene where the thief shouts to catch the thief
Xiao Tingshan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he struggled for a long time but couldn't open his eyes. However, when he heard Shen Shuyi's words, his fingertips slowly curled up uncontrollably.
Shen Shuyi stood up again, lowered his eyes to look at the man on the ground, his lips slightly curved, his almond eyes cold.
"You...you vicious woman!" Song Bai got closer and heard Shen Shuyi's words. He was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Shen Shuyi didn't care and said calmly: "If you delay any longer, you will probably just have to wait to collect Mr. Song's body."
Songbai was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he no longer cared about anything else.
He and Song Ren carried Xiao Tingshan up, planning to take turns with the guards who were still able to stand, and insisted on sending the young master to the clinic.

The backs of the group gradually disappeared from Shen Shuyi's sight, and the direction they were heading was opposite to Liancheng.
This game is destined, some people will get what they want, while others will fail.
"Miss, are we still going up?" Yuping asked softly.
"No, I thought of another important thing." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice. Liancheng already had a grudge against her, so she would only be asking for trouble if she continued to follow him.
Jinzhu kicked a man in black at his feet, bent down and pulled the scarf off his face: "I don't know who these people are, they are so brave."
Shen Shuyi glanced at the person on the ground, but didn't take it to heart.
Except for Meng Kuo, most of these were desperate criminals hired at high prices.
"Miss, Mr. Liancheng seems unhappy with your actions...then won't all our efforts for so long be in vain?" Yuping held the umbrella for Shen Shuyi, feeling somewhat unwilling.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the truth will come out someday, but now is not the time."
Yuping blinked and couldn't help asking, "Miss, do you know something?"
She knew she shouldn't ask, but she couldn't help it. She felt that the whole matter was confusing and not as simple as it seemed.
Shen Shuyi turned his head and glanced at her, his almond eyes clear and sharp: "It's just the thief crying thief."
Yu Ping was stunned for a moment: "You...you mean..."
Jin Zhu was obviously also in disbelief: "This Mr. Song looks like a decent person, but he is such a jerk!"
"Miss, why don't you tell Mr. Liancheng?" Yuping couldn't help but speak again, unwilling to see Shen Shuyi being misunderstood.
As Shen Shuyi walked down, he said, "You have to have evidence when you speak. Do you have any evidence?"
Yuping was suddenly speechless.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were gloomy, and he said again: "Besides, given Song Tingshan's personality, he must have a trick up his sleeve. This assassination attempt alone is not enough to turn Liancheng against him."
He wanted Xiao Tingshan to have to watch Liancheng for the rest of his life, but he would never be able to ask him for help again.
Shen Shuyi carefully recalled every word he said today. He was a person who didn't like to speak without purpose. Everything he said and did had a deep meaning.
Besides, putting all this aside, she does have selfish motives.
The more Liancheng misunderstands her now, the more guilty he will feel when he learns the truth in the future, and the more disgusted he will be with Song Tingshan.
He will naturally be much easier to talk to.
"But the young lady is so powerful that she pulled Mr. Song in front of her with one hand. Fortunately, the knife did not stab Mr. Liancheng, otherwise he would have been used by this bastard!" Jinzhu cursed indignantly.
Shen Shuyi smiled. She had been on guard since Meng Kuo didn't move. As soon as Meng Kuo retracted his fingers and clenched the long sword, she made up her mind!
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
There's no reason why Xiao Tingshan, that bastard, should get such an advantage!
Regardless of the fact that this was a good show directed and acted by him, he just said that he owed her in his previous life, and he should pay her back with this knife!
But she is not as great as Jinzhu boasts, it’s just the right time and place.
After all, Xiao Tingshan was weak to begin with, and he kowtowed and kneeled for more than an hour, so naturally he was exhausted.
In addition, his original intention was to block the knife for Liancheng, so the two of them exerted their forces in the same direction, so that Shen Shuyi hardly had to spend much effort to pull him over.
Unfortunately, although the results were similar, no matter how you looked at it, Xiao Tingshan’s plans had failed.
One was caught to block the knife, and the other risked his own life to save the other.
The quantities are always different.

On the way back, Shen Shuyi sat in the carriage thinking about Xiao Tingshan's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Yuping sitting beside him, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but smile and said softly, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Ping lowered her voice and could not help but say, "You asked me that day what I saw in the painting. I just felt familiar with it at the time. I have been thinking about it often in the past few days. I actually... I recognized who was in the portrait..."
Shen Shuyi was not surprised that Yuping recognized him.
She didn't ask who Yu Ping was, but just said, "It's not the right time yet."
She could of course tell Liancheng directly now, so that Liancheng would immediately treat her brother, and Liancheng and his daughter could be reunited.
But Xiao Tingshan was very busy and he was also looking for Lian Qiao.
He is a scheming and good at disguise. If he discovers the truth without any preparation, Lian Qiao will be put in danger.
What's more, although Liancheng dislikes him now, he is not disgusted or wary of him.
He must see through Xiao Tingshan's true face and be on guard, so that he and Lian Qiao can be safer.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped at the intersection of West Street in the capital.
Shen Shuyi got out of the car and looked up, and saw many children, men and women with grass stuck on their heads on both sides of the road.
This is a famous place in the capital for buying and selling slaves. Most of them are poor people who have encountered difficulties and spontaneously come here to buy and sell slaves as a way to make a living or to add some money to the family.
"Miss, but are you buying a slave?"
"Miss, our Qiaojie is very capable, smart and sensible, take a look..."
"Miss! Whether you want to buy a strong man or not, he can do any job. It only costs twenty taels of silver!"
"..."
As soon as Shen Shuyi showed up, a group of people surrounded him and tried hard to sell his products.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked around. They were a group of people in tattered clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty faces. It was obvious that they were having a hard time, which was in stark contrast to the dignitaries in the capital.
Only those eyes were filled with hope and desire the moment they saw Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi knew that such situations would become more common in the next two months. When the cold winter came, more people would go hungry, and more people would sell their children and freeze to death on the roadside.
I don’t know how much charcoal my uncle has stockpiled, but I just hope it can help more people survive this winter.
"Ask Madam Fang to collect more furs later. No matter the price, the more the better." Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice.
She doesn't make money from these people, but she always makes a lot of money from those who are not short of money.
