The servants of the Su Mansion looked at the middle-aged man and said swornly: "It's absolutely true. I just heard it while hiding outside the door."
He looked pale and said: "It's fake, it's all fake! There was no assassination at all, and no one committed it. This is someone deliberately trying to harm our Su family. They also said that they would search the Su family every day and use dragon robes.
Feng Guanlai framed the Su family for rebellion..."
The middle-aged man let go of his collar and took a few steps back, his face suddenly turning pale.
As the largest family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Su family has remained standing for so many years, and the reason why even the local government has given them three cents of favor is because the government will reason with the Su family.
They would not use such frame-up tactics to deal with a super family like the Su family - although the Su family has used such tactics to deal with others in recent years, although he is preparing to use more drastic methods to deal with that family.
Downing.
But before they took action, the other party actually struck first and was even more vicious than his method, and his attack was a fatal blow.
After all, the Su family is the people and not the officials. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, especially when the officials are unreasonable, they cannot fight no matter what.
Liu Tong led others out of Su's house, bowed his hands to the two people standing in the courtyard, and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that the criminal is really not in Su's house..."
After saying that, he looked back at the dozens of Blade members and said, "Brothers, let's go."
"Wait a minute." Liu Tong took two steps and was stopped by Su Zhe.
Liu Tong turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Su Zhe stepped forward and asked with a smile: "May I ask who was assassinated at the inn last night and whether he was seriously injured?"
Liu Tong glanced at him and said: "The traitor assassinated General Zuo Xiaowei, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Mr. Tang. However, he did not succeed. If you know the news about that person, you must report it to the government immediately..."
"Absolutely." Su Zhe cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, go slowly."
Liu Tong brought the Blade members in with great fanfare and left with great fanfare, leaving the Su Mansion in a mess.
The middle-aged man clenched his fists, looked at Su Zhe, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Tang Ning is so insidious and cunning. He is an official. If he really wants to use force, wouldn't he have to kill the Su family?"
Su Zhe didn't say anything. He turned and walked into the room behind him. He looked at the messy room and the broken tea cups on the ground. After a long time, he said, "Tell Prince Qian about his proposal. The Su family agreed..."
…
Xiao Mansion.
A young man looked at the Crown Prince of Guizhou and hesitated: "Your Majesty, the Su family does not accept our solicitation. If they inform the government..."
Prince Qian waved his hand and said: "Su Zhe is an old fox, he will not do this."
The young man didn't say anything more. He just sighed and said, "The Su family is the largest family in Jiangnan. If we can win over them, they will definitely be a big help to our uprising. What a pity..."
After he finished speaking, a servant walked in, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Su family has sent someone..."
Prince Qian stood up with a hint of joy on his face, "Have they figured it out?"
The steward of the Su Mansion walked into the hall, bowed to the Crown Prince of Guizhou, and said, "I have met the Crown Prince."
"No gifts, no gifts." The Crown Prince of Guizhou came up to him personally and said, "Butler Su, what do you want to do when you come to my Xiao Mansion?"
The housekeeper of the Su Mansion said: "This little man is ordered by the master of the house to bring a message to the prince."
Prince Qian looked at him and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The steward of the Su Mansion said: "The head of the family said that the Su family has agreed to the prince's proposal."
"Okay!" Prince Qian showed a smile on his face and said, "The head of the Su family is indeed very discerning..."
He looked at the steward of the Su family with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, as long as you sincerely help me, I will definitely not treat your Su family badly!"
The steward of the Su family looked at him and said: "The master hopes that the prince can agree to a condition of the Su family..."
The Crown Prince of Guizhou said: "But it doesn't matter."
The steward of the Su Mansion raised his head and said: "The head of the family hopes that after the prince's rebellion, Tang Ning, the acting minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can be handed over to the Su family for disposal."
"What about Tang Ning?" Prince Qian smiled and said, "Even if the head of the Su family doesn't say anything, I won't let him go. After we catch him, we can just hand him over to the Su family for disposal."
The butler cupped his hands and said, "The little man will go back to report to the master of the family."
Watching the steward of the Su family leave, Prince Qian smiled and said: "A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Su Zhe is indeed a smart man. With the help of the Su family, we will be even more powerful..."
The person next to him immediately raised his hands and said: "Congratulations, Crown Prince..."
When a few people walked back, a figure slowly walked out of the house on the other side.
One person looked over there and said in surprise: "It's so late, where is Miss Su going?"
Another person said: "Miss Su seems to go out at night and come back in the morning..."
The Crown Prince of Guizhou looked gloomy, but he only glanced at it and then looked away.
For him, restoration of the country is a top priority. At this critical moment, nothing can distract him.
When this matter is over, it will not be too late to deal with some things and people that need to be dealt with...
…
It was late at night, but the lights were still on in Tangning's room inside the inn.
There was a piece of information placed in front of him, which he asked the governor of Runzhou to send over.
Runzhou is the economic center of Jiangnan, so the imperial court will naturally tightly control local officials and will not let them collude with the wealthy families of Jiangnan.
In addition, the imperial court had some other means to control Jiangnan.
He also just learned that the Bai family, one of the four major families, was supported by the imperial court and competed with the wealthy families in Jiangnan.
What is listed in this document are some of the evidence against the Su family. There are many crimes involved. The accumulation of capital is inseparable from filth and blood. For a wealthy family like the Su family, no one is clean.
Of course, as long as the Su family didn't make any big mistakes, the imperial court would not make things difficult for the largest family in Jiangnan because of this.
There are not many people above the court who are truly clean. As long as they stand correctly, these small mistakes are nothing.
But once the team is on the wrong side, these small mistakes may push them into the abyss, and they will never recover.
There was also a letter from the head of the Bai family on it, reminding him to be careful of the Su family. The letter said that when he and the head of the Su family talked about Tang Ning, the acting minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Su Zhe once said that he should "take good care of" him.
Based on Tang Ning's relationship with the Tang family, this "care" naturally did not mean caring. It must have been that the Tang family had specially warned them before he came to Jiangnan.
Tangning didn't want to be taken care of for nothing, so he decided to take care of each other with the Su family.
He put these materials away and was about to take a rest when he realized that Su Mei was already lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Her insomnia is not caused by external reasons, but by a heart disease. I don’t know if Dr. Sun can do anything about it. Unfortunately, he travels all over the world and is hard to find. For now, he can only continue...
Fortunately, this is Jiangnan. If Tang Yaoyao knew that Su Huxu slept in the same bed with him at night, even if nothing happened, it would be a Shura field that he could not imagine...
Tangning hugged the quilt again and slept next to her fully clothed. An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart, but it made it difficult for him to fall asleep for a while.
…
Early morning, Runzhou Station.
It was still dark, so Chen Zhou habitually got up first. After washing, he went to the yard to practice whipping.
Although he wields a knife, no one knows that what he is best at is actually whipping.
He just shook his wrist, and there was a sound like cracking silk in his ears. The soil on the ground splashed, and a shallow pit was made by the head of the whip.
Even if the blue brick is like this, when the whip falls on a person's body, it will be a bloody hole. If it hits the fatal spot, death will be inevitable.
When he was about to crack the whip for the second time, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
Chen Zhou put away the whip, walked to the door, opened the door, looked at the woman standing at the door, his expression was startled at first, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked over again, he said in shock: "Three, third lady!"
