The accumulation of wealth is always accompanied by sin and blood.
This has always been the case in all dynasties, ancient and modern, both at home and abroad...
Even if Fang Jun suddenly rises to become one of the richest people in the world, if it is passed down from generation to generation, his son or grandson will inevitably embark on this journey in order to maintain the family business, add glory to the ancestor's foundation, and honor the ancestors.
A sinful path.
This is the nature of capital...
If all the aristocratic families in the world were shaken down, none of them would be clean.
Su Dingfang could almost imagine what kind of turmoil it would cause after the news of the Gu family's annihilation spread. All the aristocratic families in the world would regard Fang Jun as a thorn in their side, and they would like to get rid of him quickly!
Why?
Because of fear!
Think about it, if you only need military power, you can kill an aristocratic family that has been passed down for centuries without any thought, it is really shocking.
Today it was Fang Jun who destroyed the Gu family, but tomorrow it will be someone else who destroys their family?
It must be an overwhelming and overwhelming trend!
While worrying about Fang Jun, I also have to admire Fang Jun's courage and ambition!
"What are you afraid of? We are working for the emperor now. Anyone who hinders our progress will be in trouble with the emperor. Isn't it a royal minister who can't get in trouble with the emperor? If you have reason and evidence, then that's it.
Forget it, just like the Gu family who relies on their own influence to mess around, who will you deal with if you don't deal with it? General Su, you have to remember that whether it is an officialdom or an army, wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and wherever there are disputes, there will be disputes.
Stand in line. The so-called strict neutrality and the two sides helping each other may seem noble and conceited, but in fact they are the most stupid. Because when someone needs to take credit, no one thinks of you; when someone needs to take the blame, you are the first choice.
, because no one will help you... Since we are His Majesty's ministers, we must wholeheartedly plan for Your Majesty and the empire. Gu deserves to die, but his crime is not worthy of death. He blocked His Majesty's national policy of ruling Jiangnan. Since
In this way, we must think about your Majesty’s thoughts, worry about the empire’s concerns, and put the interests of your majesty and the empire above all else. This will offend the whole world, so what is there to be afraid of?”
This is what Fang Jun said to Su Dingfang in private.
It can be seen that the general manager treats him with all his heart. Not only does he hand over the command to him, but he can also say these words that are obviously contrary to the mainstream. If such words are spread, he will be a "treacherous sycophant"
You can't run away from "the bastards" and "the sycophants"...
But these words are the true meaning of the world.
The truth often doesn’t sound good…
Well, this is also what the chief manager said.
Su Dingfang understood that the reason why the chief manager said these words to him was to teach him that if he hugged the emperor's thigh tightly, he would not have to worry about anything!
To put it nicely, Su Dingfang said he was a noble person and never formed cliques. To put it unfavorably, he meant that he was politically incompetent...
Fang Jun made it very clear that in the officialdom, if you don't stand in line, you will suffer a big loss, but standing in line also pays attention to methods. Which method is the best now? It's very simple. Since they are all hugging each other, then let's pick the thickest one.
Hug! Not only do you need to hug, you also need to put in the effort!
"Hold your thighs" is also a term used by the general manager. It is very vulgar and vulgar, but it is inexplicably appropriate.
Now Su Dingfang has a feeling of "a sudden enlightenment". The officialdom that he was not used to was actually so simple that he could solve all the problems simply by "hugging his thighs"...
Su Dingfang moved to the main hall of the house.
Candles have been lit in the hall and the lights are brightly lit.
The goods need to be counted. These are the seizures of the Navy. Some of them belong to His Majesty, and the other part belong to the Guanzhong clan. This is the reward they should have received for supporting Fang Jun. Although Su Dingfang felt that the reward was a bit high, Fang Jun said
"People must be honest," Su Dingfang said no more.
Although he never thought that Fang Jun would pay attention to "integrity" with those arrogant aristocratic families, and he certainly didn't know what Fang Jun's plan was, but there was a pit here, that was basically certain...
The soldiers were still collecting the corpses. It was satisfying to satisfy their hatred while killing, but after the killing, there would be trouble. After all, the Gu family is a wealthy family in Jiangdong. Even if they kill everyone, they still have to make a list for everyone. Let's see.
Whoever dies or escapes, we can also issue arrest warrants to the sea according to this, and the whole country will be wanted.
The identification of the corpse can only be done by the servants of the Gu family in Wubao.
Divide the servants and maids into several groups so that they cannot communicate with each other, and then lead them one by one to identify the corpses. The corpses jointly identified by several groups can be concluded. Occasionally there are one or two who died in a horrific and unrecognizable manner.
, after two or three rounds of identification, it can also be determined.
This process is not difficult, but it is time-consuming.
Su Dingfang sent someone to call Xi Junmai.
Although Gujiawu Fort was tightly sealed and no one inside the fort escaped, it was extremely difficult to keep the news sealed for a long time. To eradicate the root cause, the Gu family's old house in Suzhou must be demolished and everyone must be arrested.
Xi Junmai was a scout and had excellent equestrian skills. He quickly rushed to Suzhou and led a pair of navy soldiers who had been arranged outside Suzhou city to raid the Gu family's old house.
Su Dingfang took the trouble to congratulate Xi Jun. The key point was how to deal with resistance from the Suzhou government. In short, it was just one word: "Quick!" Enter the city quickly, and capture the Gu family's old house quickly. If you are resisted by the Suzhou government,
If the Suzhou government government blocks it, then we must be tough!
Just as he was giving instructions in a low voice, Liu Renyuan ran in in a hurry.
"Captain, we caught a big fish!"
Su Dingfang was puzzled. Now he made a fortune, and now he caught a big fish. Are you sure you, the bastard, are an officer and a soldier and not a bandit?
Unexpectedly, Liu Renyuan ignored his unkind look at all and rushed up to Su Dingfang in three steps. The two of them were almost out of sight before Liu Renyuan said excitedly: "The general has captured Gu Cong's little daughter. The little girl confessed.
Yang Hao, the grandson of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the nephew of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the son of King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty, is within Wubao!"
"boom"
Su Dingfang shook his hand and swept the inkstone on the table to the ground. Thick black ink spattered and the inkstone fell into pieces...
"Is this true?"
Su Dingfang couldn't calm down anymore!
Yang Hao, son of King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty?
A truly noble person from Tianhuang!
The Gu family hid such a person in Wubao and sent heavy troops to guard it. The purpose behind it is obvious! If the previous "framing and frame-up" is still a bit far-fetched, it will inevitably fail to convince the public.
Its existence simply provides the most sufficient reason for Fang Jun to "bloodbath the Gu family"!
Fang Jun's luck is really incredible...
"How dare the general to talk nonsense about this kind of thing? We have already sent people to guard the courtyard. Commander, let's go and have a look together?"
"It's natural!"
Su Dingfang immediately asked Xi Junmai to set off immediately. Regardless of whether this former nobleman was real or fake, the Gu family's old house in Suzhou must be eradicated. The situation of being killed instead of being killed must not be allowed to happen.
Xi Junmai left in a hurry.
Su Dingfangze and Liu Renyuan quickly came to a side courtyard of this mansion.
The rain has not slowed down at all, and it has a kind of tenacity that will last until the end of time...
The rain hitting the banana leaves in the yard made a snapping sound, like drums on a battlefield, rapid and intensive.
There is a gravel-paved path in the center of the yard. There is an oil lamp burning in the main room, and the light pours out through the cracks in the door and windows.
A group of soldiers stood silently in the courtyard, tightly controlling all parts.
Su Dingfang opened the main door and stepped in.
A cheerful man sat on the floor, with a four-legged coffee table in front of him and a small red clay stove beside him. The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and a kettle made a gurgling sound.
White gas.
When the man saw Su Dingfang coming in, he smiled warmly and extended his hand to greet us: "The visitor is a guest. General, please sit down for a moment while I, the prince, make tea for this distinguished guest."
The courtyard was crowded with soldiers, with swords and spears like a forest, and a murderous aura.
Even if he had never left the house, it was impossible to turn a deaf ear to the fighting in the house. Under such a situation, he was still calm and composed, and his demeanor did not diminish. This kind of determination made Su Dingfang secretly heartbroken.
He followed the good example and walked directly to the man, knelt on the ground and remained silent.
Without asking about the person's identity, he watched the man's hands washing the tea, making tea, and dividing the tea like butterflies in flowers... Such daily chores were performed in his hands, giving him an elegant and refined look.
