The business of Cuixiang Tower suddenly became deserted. There were not many customers in either the Cuixiang Tower in the Bell and Drum Tower or the Cuixiang Tower in the West Market.
The shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop walked in shyly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the table in the middle. He walked over with a smile: "Why are you so cautious about talking?"
The shopkeeper of Xu Ji’s Grain and Rice Shop pressed the shopkeeper of Silk and Satin Shop onto the chair: “Keep your voice down!”
The shopkeeper of the Satin Shop smiled and said, "What's going on? Even you are so taboo about it. I've never been so careful when I heard you talk about imperial edicts in the past."
The shopkeeper of Xu Ji Grain and Rice Store looked around and lowered his voice: "You really haven't heard about it, have you? Last night..."
"Last night? Last night I went to Laifeng Tower for a banquet. Not to mention the girls there are all pretty good. How about you and I go together next time?"
"Hey!" The shopkeeper of Xu Ji's Grain and Rice Store sighed: "It seems that you are the last person in Chang'an City to know about this important event. When you came here, you didn't notice that the streets are different today?"
The shopkeeper of the Satin Shop thought for a while and nodded slightly: "It's really different. There are fewer people, but there are more soldiers. The princes who are in charge of Jinwu and Tingwei are all over the street. What, what happened?"
The shopkeeper of Xu Ji’s Grain and Rice Shop mysteriously waved his hand, signaling the shopkeeper of the Silk and Satin Shop to come over and say, “Something big happened in the Su Mansion!”
"Su Mansion, which Su Mansion?"
"And that Su Mansion?"
"Oh! That Su Mansion? Why, they are at war with Princess Guantao again? No way, I heard there is something going on in Princess Guantao Mansion!"
The shopkeeper of Xu Ji’s Grain and Rice Store shook his head and said in a lower voice: “I don’t know if it’s Princess Guantao, but it’s a serious matter. I heard that dozens of people died.”
"Ah!" The shopkeeper of Silk and Satin Shop was startled. Shopkeeper of Xu Ji Grain and Rice Shop quickly pressed it down: "Why are you so loud? Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
"Tell me, Su Zhonglang is a powerful man. I remember the fight the year before last. Who wouldn't be afraid of those methods? Who is so brave?"
The shopkeeper of Xu Ji's Grain and Rice Store shook his head: "You can tell! But with Su Zhonglang's behavior, the powerful people in Chang'an City have basically offended all the powerful people. There are many people who want to deal with him. It's really hard to say who caused the problem this time.
Do it.”
"Ahem, cough, cough...!" Old Zhao coughed a few times and glanced at the shopkeeper of Xu Ji's Grain and Rice Shop and the shopkeeper of Silk and Satin Shop: "Boy, do you think the food is delicious? If you don't like it, please go elsewhere."
The two people straightened up quickly: "Very good, very good. Let's leave after eating!"
As soon as Lao Zhao left, the two of them looked at each other without saying anything, and just immersed themselves in eating. Different from the past, Cuixiang Building today was relatively deserted, and there were only a few people in the lobby. Lao Zhao patrolled back and forth, leaving all the gossips in the room.
The guy understood whose territory this Cuixiang Building belonged to. Looking at Lao Zhao's dark face, everyone ate very quickly, finished the food in a hurry, and hurriedly paid the bill and went out.
The streets were in chaos. Zhi Jinwu was responsible for the security of Chang'an City. Such a big thing happened, and it was also the Su Ren family. The emperor was furious and ordered to solve the case within a time limit. Zhi Jinwu personally went out and led his soldiers to search from house to house. If there was any problem,
They were all arrested without any concern for the impact.
The Tingwei Mansion is also crazy. After being tricked by Su Ren last time, Tingwei was dismissed from office and Ting Weicheng concurrently served as the Tingwei. Before his butt was even hot, something happened again. If you don’t want to go to Lingnan to see the woods, Su
The affairs of the Ren family must be clarified. Tingwei Chengchou's hair has turned a lot white since last night, and he is always worried that he will follow in the footsteps of the original Tingwei.
Compared to them, the Su family was extremely quiet. No one was sent to search for the murderer, and no one went out to make noise. The door was closed tightly, and there was no sound inside. Of course, don't think that the Su family is really so quiet, there are already
The pot was boiling. If Su Ren hadn't tried his best to suppress it, Huo Jin and others could have demolished the entire Chang'an.
"What the hell, they've actually offended us. I think they don't want to live anymore!" Hawking roared loudly. He was already fully clothed and holding the Overlord's Halberd in his hand.
Su Ren snorted coldly: "Sit tight and get out if you say another word!"
Hawking muttered and was pushed down on the chair by Shi Bao.
Everyone from the Su family, big and small, was here, even the pregnant Leng Yue. No one said anything. They were waiting for the results of Su Kai's interrogation. They did suffer huge losses last night, but they also captured several assassins.
.Those people were very strange and no one knew them. Even the captured assassins were surprised for a long time after they showed up.
The sound of footsteps came from outside, and Su Kai appeared at the door covered in blood. Before Su Ren could say anything, Huo Jin stood up in a loud voice: "How are you? What did you ask?"
Su Kai shook his head at Su Ren: "I'm very harsh. I only said that I was a bandit who was bullied by my husband. I didn't say anything else. I've used all the torture tools that can be used. If I continue, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it."
Han Qing frowned: "Without the confessions of these people, it would be difficult to identify anyone. Even if we know who did it, there is nothing we can do against them."
Su Ren closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then turned and asked Chunyu Yi: "Mr. Chunyu, how is Liu Shuang?"
"It's just that I was overly frightened. I just need to recover for a while."
"Old Liu, can the dead and wounded brothers be properly accommodated?"
Liu Gao hurriedly said: "It has been secured, the dead ones have been enshrined, and the injured ones have been diagnosed and treated by Mr. Chunyu himself. The problem is not big."
Su Ren nodded, slowly stood up from the chair, and saluted Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang: "Father-in-law, teacher, I've made you two elders so frightened. I'm really sorry. I haven't slept all night. Now that I'm fine, you two elders will go and rest first."
, I’ll leave this to the kid, please don’t worry.”
Dong Zhongshu nodded: "Don't go too far!"
Su Ren saluted again: "No, I will remember it!"
Dong Qian hurriedly came over and helped Dong Zhongshu walk out the door. Wen Dang patted Su Ren on the shoulder: "Zi Heng, remember one sentence, it is good to know some things in your heart, and you must not kill too much. The Princess Guantao Mansion two years ago
I still dream about it."
Su Ren quickly said: "The teacher's lesson is that this kid will not act recklessly this time."
After sending off the two elders, they sent the women down. Chunyu Yi also left to take care of the wounded. The master's father said: "Sir, do you want..."
Before Master Yan could finish speaking, Su Ren immediately waved his hand: "No, this kind of thing cannot be publicized, and it must not be published in the Dahan Daily!"
"Why? I'm afraid this matter has already spread in Chang'an. If we don't explain it, the people may be frightened!" Sima Xiangru said.
Su Ren glanced at Sima Xiangru: "The matter itself has no solution. How to publish it? The most important thing at this time is the stability of Chang'an. No trouble must be caused. I'm afraid your Majesty thinks so too."
Ignoring Sima Xiangru and Master Fuyan, Su Renyi waved his hand and led people to go to the cellar to see the captured assassins. It must be said that these people are very powerful. If Li Danghu, Wei Qing and others had not appeared in time, only
With the little bodyguards of the Su family, they were no match for them. Coincidentally, last night Gongsun He was in the mood for drinking wine when he suddenly thought of Su Ren, so he sent someone to the Su family to call Su Ren. Only then did he realize that Su Ren was
Something was not right at home, and by some strange coincidence, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao and others came running.
The captured assassins were captured by Li Danghu and his men. Gongsun He was smart and pinched the mouths of several of them when they first caught them, so that they didn't let those guys swallow the poison hidden in their mouths.
.
The Su family's cellar was not prepared for storing things. It was a torture chamber with complete facilities and even some of the world's only torture instruments. When Su Ren came down from above, he saw at a glance the several meat strips hanging on the wall and all the clothes on his body.
He had been stripped naked, everything he could see was blood red, and his face was swollen to the point where his face was probably unrecognizable.
Leng Jun stood at the entrance with his arms folded. Several naked guards were still beating him. They stopped when they saw Su Ren coming.
Su Ren stepped forward, looked at several people from top to bottom, and suddenly asked: "Can we find out where they came from?"
Han Qing said quickly: "The one on the far left is a butcher from Huifang Street. I have never heard that he knows martial arts before; the second one is a tooth man from Luoma Market; the third one has a shop in Dongshi, specializing in rouge and gouache.
; The fourth is the son of Widow Zhang from Houjie; but the fifth is interesting. He just entered the city yesterday and is a fire-headed soldier of the Sansanlipu Northern Army."
"Are you sure they didn't know each other before?"
Han Qing nodded: "At least there is little contact."
"Who called them here?"
Su Kai said: "The widow's son said he was a shopkeeper named Qin, the fat shopkeeper who owns a wine shop across from our house."
"Where are the others?"
"Dead! He was already dead when we went there." Leng Jun answered.
"Who is their leader?"
Su Kai shook his head: "They all said they didn't know. They were only told to gather at the wine shop opposite. Everyone wore night clothes and covered their faces with black cloth."
Su Ren let out a long breath: "It's really secretive. It seems that the Mo family spent a lot of money this time."
No one spoke, they all stood quietly. Gritting his teeth grimly: "These guys are just following orders. If they don't catch the rightful owner, they will have endless troubles in the future."
"Where is that old guy Mo Cong hiding?"
Han Qing said quickly: "I left the city yesterday and my whereabouts are unknown. The person we sent was dumped."
"Where's Liu Hong?"
"Stationhouse, with King Huainan."
"Humph! They were all picked cleanly!" Su Ren suddenly turned around, his eyes turning red: "The dead brothers cannot die in vain. They provoked us first. If we don't uproot the Mo family from today on, I, Su
I swear not to be a human being!"
Han Qing was stunned and said quickly: "Sir, will this cause..."
"They have already come to our house, so what are you worried about? Not only the Mo family, but also the King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan, these two old guys, none of them are good!"
Hawking shouted: "Brother, just tell us, what should we do?"
Su Rendao: "Use all methods to kill everyone who can be sure to be the Mo family. The same goes for the spies placed by King Huainan in Chang'an. They made us pay the price, so they won't have it easy either! Don't mess with them."
Flying dog jumps, this matter is not over!" (To be continued)
