The corner of Su Yizhao's mouth twitched, this old man can really think about it!
If the Second Old Master and the others found out that she was holding the patriarch's token, wouldn't they hate her to death?
The second old lady has been the acting patriarch for so many years, but she has never touched the patriarch's token. Doesn't this mean she is going to slap the second old lady in the face?
"With my grandson holding the token, no one in the clan dares to disobey. This is my wish. If they disobey, you will deal with them according to the clan rules.
There is no need to be soft-hearted, this matter is related to the survival of the Su family. I am not just being alarmist, this step is the key to whether it will skyrocket or fall into the dust."
Su Yizhao was stunned. She didn't expect Su Jinxun to take this matter so seriously?
"Stay neutral and don't get too close to the princes. It's not appropriate to take sides at the moment. I'll leave this matter to you for the time being and let Brother Jue assist you."
Su Yizhao was very surprised that Su Jinxun gave him such great authority.
According to her previous thoughts, she didn't really want to get involved in this muddy water. She didn't expect Su Jinxun to give her such great power. Could Su Jinxun really trust her to handle this matter?
In the eyes of outsiders, she is only thirteen years old.
Suddenly, Su Yizhao felt that the burden on her body was much heavier. She didn't expect that Su Jinxun would trust her so much.
"If you have no one available, you can go to Shopkeeper Jin of Wangxianlou and he will make arrangements for you. In addition, I will send the chief stewards Su Huai and Dequan to assist you. They have already set off with their tokens and will meet you soon.
.”
Su Yizhao put down the letter with mixed feelings in his heart.
...
Su Yizhao in Beiyuan Mansion was in a complicated mood, while Su Jinxun, who was far away in the capital, was also in a state of confusion.
"Master! Do you really want to leave this matter to the seventh young master?"
The second steward, Su Bing, was very puzzled. Su Yizhao was just a concubine and would not be able to inherit the family business in the future, but the master valued him so much?
Su Jinxun took a deep breath and said, "I have been cautious and abiding by the rules all my life. What's the result? It's just a mediocre life!"
"Sir! The seventh young master is still young. Although he is indeed extremely intelligent and quite experienced in his actions, this matter is not a trivial matter. Are you being too hasty in entrusting him with the responsibility for this matter?"
Staff officer Shi Kun also agreed with the second manager, Su Yizhao was only thirteen years old!
"But I've thought about it a lot, but I haven't found a more suitable candidate than him. The boss and the others are all in their official careers. If they send someone to do it, it's beyond their reach. Among the juniors, he is the only one who can afford it now."
Su Jinxun thought of his eldest grandson. The eldest grandson he carefully cultivated was not as good as the wild Su Yizhao.
"Yuan'er is still too immature. We can't leave this matter to him. Boss and the others actually have their own thoughts, but I'm afraid they won't be able to control it. Xiao Qi can be calm and brave, so he is a suitable candidate."
In fact, Su Jinxun thought about it for a long time before making up his mind.
Su Yizhao is a concubine and will not threaten the status of the eldest son in the future.
If he could be allowed to carve out a niche in the court, it would only be good for the Su family.
Even if he temporarily gave the clan chief's token to Su Yizhao, Su Yizhao would have to return it later.
"He is limited by his birth. If he is the eldest son, why should I be so worried?"
Su Jinxun sighed deeply, it was a helpless move now!
"I think the fifth young master has extraordinary qualifications, and his behavior now looks like yours back then. After a few more years of experience, the fifth young master should be able to stand alone." Su Bing thought of Su Yijue, and then said.
"You also said that he can't take charge of his own business yet. How many years can Su wait?" Su Jinxun shook his head, not much time left.
"Based on the first two times Xiao Qi indirectly faced off against the chief minister, and his series of strategies, I feel that he will become a great asset in the future. It is really rare for a young man to not fall behind against a scheming and powerful minister."
Speaking of Su Yizhao, Su Jinxun could not hide his admiration, and his eyes were full of joy.
Staff Qian Jun couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "The Seventh Young Master is indeed a good strategist. He will definitely be able to adapt quickly when he becomes an official in the future. In particular, he is decisive and bold in his actions, and he usually takes things by surprise."
They had to admit that Su Yizhao's responses these two times were very beautiful.
Not only did he save himself from danger, but he could also use this to fight back. The plan was absolutely perfect.
"But I think he is too calculating, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control him. He has always been dependent on his biological mother, and Su has ignored their mother and son for so many years. Doesn't he have any complaints in his heart? I'm afraid he has no feelings for Su.
So much sense of belonging.”
Shi Kun felt that children who grew up like this must have resentment towards their families.
Especially since his biological mother passed away so early, doesn't Su Yizhao have a grudge against the Su family?
Perhaps it was this kind of living environment that made Su Yizhao so scheming at a young age.
He acted so decisively because he was cruel.
Take the last plot against the Meng family as an example.
"The Seventh Young Master was still young back then, how could he remember so much? After all, he has been included in the Su family's genealogy, so he is tied to the Su family."
Qian Jun felt that Shi Kun seemed to have some prejudice against Su Yizhao. Su Yizhao was a great talent, so how could he let him go?
"Master! If he hadn't acted so ruthlessly, we wouldn't have completely offended Mr. Chief Assistant!"
The second steward, Su Bing, then talked about the recent events, "The seventh master of the clan was found guilty of ginseng while he was in office and has been dismissed from office. Isn't this the warning given to us by the chief minister?"
Su Bing is talking about Su Wenren, the seventh master of the clan, who was originally the magistrate of Maiqi County in Luoze Prefecture.
A censor in the court read his book, and the Luo Ze Mansion found out that during Su Wenren's reign, there were no less than ten unjust, false and wrong cases, resulting in innocent people being imprisoned.
Bullies run rampant in the countryside, but they don't care. As a result, the people are bullied but have nowhere to redress their grievances.
There are dozens of other crimes like this.
This resulted in Su Wenren being dismissed from his official position. Although he was spared from prison, his official career was ruined. There was little hope of recovery in the future, unless these were all framed.
However, Su Jinxun specially sent people to investigate. Although some of the accusations were exaggerated, some of the charges were indeed true.
This time, the first assistant's actions were fast, precise, and well-founded.
"This is his own fault. During his reign, he did not seek the welfare of the people and only focused on bribing the top. If I had not taken action in time, he would have been imprisoned just for bribing the top."
Su Jinxun snorted coldly after speaking, but he also understood in his heart that local officials, especially the county magistrate, were indeed difficult to govern.
Let’s talk about the bully. If someone in his family is an official in the court, shouldn’t he act like a bully?
As a county magistrate, he was afraid of the power in the court, so he could only turn a blind eye.
"Even if the seventh master of the clan has taken advantage of others, I'm afraid things like this will continue in the future. Being targeted by the Chief Assistant, our Su family will not have a hard time!"
Su Bing frowned, there are only those who are thieves all day long, and there are no people who guard against thieves all day long. How can we guard against thieves?
