Chapter 478 Taking over the duties of master of the family
However, Su Yizhao did not have any surprises. Instead, he said to Kang Jing: "How many people did you bring?"
Kang Jing was a little surprised, "There are more than a dozen people preparing to change shifts outside the Second Prince's Mansion."
"Follow me and arrest people." Su Yizhao said, got on his horse and rode towards Beicheng.
Kang Jing hesitated for a while, then got on the horse, and then called the people behind her to follow.
Su Yizhao speeded up, feeling a little anxious.
Wei Lian is dead, but Wei Lian must know a lot, so there must be things they want in his home, and maybe he can still meet those people.
The servant was about to run to Dali Temple when he saw a man riding a horse on the road. When he got closer, he saw that this was his young master, wasn't he?
"Master!" the waiter shouted quickly.
Su Yizhao tightened the reins, "What's the matter?"
"Someone contacted Xierlin, it was Xuanwu. He said he wanted Xierlin to carry out the assassination mission."
"Who to kill?" Su Yizhao asked quickly.
The attendant said solemnly: "Second Prince."
Xierlin was someone Su Yizhao found to pretend to be, and he was also good at martial arts. But why not send a dead soldier to assassinate the second prince? Isn't it safer than Xierlin?
Although Xierlin is a military commander, his martial arts are not very strong. This man wanted to test Xierlin, and he became suspicious of Xierlin.
"Let Xierlin go." Su Yizhao said and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem.
"Ah?" The servant was a little shocked. Has the young master forgotten that this Xierlin is fake?
Su Yizhao bit his finger, Emma! It hurts so much, it’s such a big loss.
He wrote a letter in blood, "Give it to Lord Kang, he will naturally know what to do. In addition, let Xierlin prepare and go to the Prince's Mansion for a tour."
The waiter didn't dare to ask any more questions. The young master must have a plan. He turned around and left, not wanting to delay the young master's affairs.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from the front again. Su Yizhao took a closer look and saw two familiar faces. They were two generals under Zong Zeming, whom she had met once before.
"Master, it's just a matter of orders." The two said without any nonsense, clasping their fists.
Su Yizhao nodded, "Okay! Come with me."
Su Jinxun has been uneasy since Su Yizhao left the house.
"Master, it's late at night, let's go back and rest!" Su Huai entered the study and saw that the master was still sitting by the desk, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Not back yet?"
He didn't say who it was, but Su Huai knew it was the seventh young master he was asking.
"Yes! It will be dawn in more than an hour. I'm afraid it won't be a foregone conclusion until dawn."
"Yeah!" Su Jinxun nodded, and then sighed.
He suddenly turned to look at Su Huai, "You and I have been together for more than sixty years."
I don’t understand why Su Jinxun is so emotional, but when it comes to this, Su Huai is indeed deeply touched.
"Yes, it has been sixty-one years."
"We are not young anymore. I have released your whole family's bond of sale. We don't need these."
"This?" Su Huai was a little panicked, "We have called Su Mansion our home for a long time. Now that we are old and can't serve the master, where can we go?"
"Don't worry, I'm not letting you go, I'm just releasing your family's bond of sale."
Su Jinxun smiled. Su Huai had been with him all his life, but he was still a servant. He couldn't bear it.
"But your little grandson is good, but he can't be let go. I want to keep him to assist Xiao Qi."
Su Huai's grandson was good at martial arts. He saw that he had talent, so he specially trained him.
"That's his blessing." Su Huai has no objection. How talented is Su Yizhao? Fuer will not suffer any disadvantages by following Su Yizhao.
"Follow him for ten years, then return the deed of betrayal, and then stay with him wherever he goes. I will tell Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi will agree."
As Su Jinxun spoke, he took out a small, palm-sized box from the secret compartment on the desk. When he opened the box, he found a maroon token with a bell engraved on it, and a seal.
"You wait for Xiao Qi to return home, give this thing to him, and say that from today on, the Su family's money and power will be at his disposal."
Su Jinxun took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "Let him take over the duties of the head of the family until I pass away, and then return it to the eldest brother."
Su Huai was shocked, "Master?"
He naturally knew what it represented. It was the family head's token. The family's property and the secret forces could only be manipulated by the family head.
The hard work of three generations is all on the head of the family.
"Take it! I'm old and don't have many years to live, so it's of little use to have these. I know Xiaoqi has his own power, but it's not yet strong. Give him these to make the best use of them. As long as you have
If he is here, the Su family will not fall."
Su Huai couldn't recover for a while, "Do you believe him so much?"
"The eldest brother is not a good person. The second brother has his own selfish interests. The third brother depends on Jue'er, but he has not grown up yet. Now besides Xiaoqi, who else can the family rely on?"
Su Jinxun touched the token in his hand, "I only hope that after my death, he can take care of the Su family's kindness to him and help the Su family."
Su Huai was very sentimental, "The seventh young master is from the Su family, so naturally he cannot abandon the family."
Su Jinxun was stunned, "Yes! He is from the Su family. He is listed in my Su family tree, so he is my Su family."
It was getting slightly brighter, so the emperor called Xu Luo to change his clothes.
"Ahem!" The emperor clenched his fist and coughed several times, his face still a little pale.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body! Why don't you rest for a few more days?"
Xu Luo was very worried. The imperial doctor told the emperor to rest more, but the emperor refused to listen and insisted on going to court early today.
"I have been recuperating for several days and have not gone to court. Now that such a big thing has happened in the court, how can I not go to court early?"
The emperor waved his hand and then glanced at the sky.
"Is Su Yizhao here?" the emperor asked.
Xu Luo shook his head, "Master Su entered the palace without passing the sign."
"What about Kang Shiwen?" the emperor asked again.
Xu Luo shook his head again, "No!"
The emperor couldn't help but frown, "It's been a whole night, and these two people haven't settled it yet?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, Master Su Yizhao, compiled by the Hanlin Academy, handed over the sign to the palace to ask for an audience."
The sound of reporting happened to come from outside, which made the emperor's eyebrows relax a lot.
"Order him to wait in the imperial study room!"
Su Yizhao stayed up all night, his face looked a little haggard, but he was still graceful.
When Xu Luo entered the imperial study, he glanced at Su Yizhao, who was already a celebrity in front of the emperor.
"How?" The emperor asked eagerly without waiting for Su Yizhao to salute.
"Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" Su Yizhao handed a tray to Xu Luo, all of which were evidence of guilt.
"How can I have time to read this now? You can report it directly!" the emperor said impatiently.
"The second prince's collusion with outsiders has been found out, and the current charges have been listed. The other prince colluded with the officials guarding the border, and used the government to purchase armaments and passed them off as substandard goods. They stole the goods and replaced them, enriched their own pockets, and took those materials as their own."
The emperor clenched his hands into fists. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country made him the most angry, let alone his own son.
"I have been involved in this case for three years. It is roughly estimated that the court lost more than four million taels. The specific amount has to be calculated by the Ministry of Revenue and the border customs. Eleven officials involved in the two cases have been arrested and the list has been submitted.
