”What else do you know about Witch Clan?”

Before Jian Zhihang could say anything, Stars Pet Chain Supermarket walked over and said, ”Jian Zhihang, you're not allowed to say anything. Do you still want to kill everyone like that person?”

Su Li thought back to what Mo Lianjin had said last night. Emperor An ordering the burning of everything related to Witch Clan, just like how the First Emperor had destroyed his entire clan, if they dared to secretly hide anything related to Witch Clan, they would definitely be punished, and those who did not know would also be punished the same.

After all, the Witch Clan Member would threaten the existence of the State Grandmaster.

Su Li did not understand what was going on in the minds of the people in power, she was only concerned about the case.

”Since it's inconvenient to say it, I won't force it.”

When Stars Pet Chain Supermarket heard this, he sat back down and took out her knife. He stuck it into the table with an even colder expression.

Just as Su Li was about to leave, Jian Zhihang took out his brush and wrote down a note, which he handed to Su Li, ”Let's read it after we return.”

Su Li nodded and kept the paper away, ”Thank you.”

It was a form of trust that Jian Zhihang could take the risk and tell her about the matters regarding Witch Clan.

Just as she turned around, she saw Mo Lianjin appearing outside the door, so she walked over very naturally, ”Why are you here?”

”I'm afraid that if you run away, I'll arrest you and bring you back home.”

Su Li swallowed his saliva, ”My rewards are still in your hands, if you want to run, you should at least bring a reward.”

Mo Lianjin raised his hand and touched her nose, then turned and walked out.

She followed, but he did not get into the carriage.

The two of them strolled along the long street. The noise around them was so loud that it was as if they were nothing but the two of them in the entire world.

Walking beside him, he gave off a cold aura that lingered around her.

His helplessness and compromise in the court today was immediately relieved.

”This King has heard of the matter in the court.”

”Hmm?” Su Li regained his senses and turned to look at him. The more he looked, the more he felt that he was good-looking.

”If you really can't take this lying down, and if the person who makes a mistake gets the punishment they deserve, this king will accompany you on your journey to the Ji Assistant Minister Mansion.”

Su Li opened his mouth, and then looked into her eyes. The light in his eyes became profound, as if he could see the deepest part of a person's heart.

”You offended someone for such a small matter, making it difficult for you to continue on your path.”

”What are you afraid of?” He had walked the hardest path ever, step by step.

”Then I'll be serious. If the justice courts don't investigate the Madame Ji, I will definitely go to the Assistant Minister Mansion to get the person.”

”Yes.” The corner of Mo Lianjin's mouth widened into a smile as he wrapped her small hand in his own. ”The matter of Feng Jiu going to Marquis Cheng'en Palace to look after the illness of the State Grandmaster is set to happen the next day.”

”You were the one who let him go to the Marquis Cheng'en Palace, right?” Su Li looked at him strangely.

Once the illness in the eyes of the State Grandmaster was treated, the Emperor An would arrange for a marriage.

”I should at least let you live in the Fifth Prince's Mansion legitimately.”

”…”

”Oh yeah, the grudge between Jian Zhihang and Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, do you want to hear about it?”

”Have you found it?” ”Tell me quickly.” Su Li asked curiously.

”Back then, there was an incident at the Censor's residence because a person was taken in. That person was rather knowledgeable, and was the first person to point out that the Imperial Advisor was faking it. Originally, he was just talking when he was drunk, but later on it spread to the ears of the father, and using the weather that the Imperial Censor had calculated, he executed the entire Censor's family...”

”Jian Zhihang is still young, he shouldn't be the one who brought about the disaster right?”

”It's impossible to find out the specific relationship between Jian Zhihang and that person, but it should be related. After the incident at the Censor's office, Jian Zhihang did not receive any responsibility.”

”Did the person back then question State Grandmaster whether or not he mentioned Witch Clan?”

”Yes.”
