Yu Lu naturally cares about Fang Xi, but he always has a bad feeling.
Soon, this premonition came true.
Su Ziji asked Chai Kejing to bring a letter to Fang Xi, so he took out a written letter and handed it to Yu Lu first without sealing it.
"Look."
There was a trace of hesitation in Yu Lu's eyes, but he still took the letter, his heart beating like a deer.
When I took out the envelope and several pieces of paper and looked at it in a panic, the first thing that caught my eye was not Taisun's handwriting, but an unfamiliar handwriting.
It's a report, neatly written.
"Wei Chen was ordered to investigate, and the whole story is as follows..."
Yu Lu watched the group line by line, with veins gradually bulging on his forehead. Halfway through, his expression became ferocious, causing Chai Kejing to look sideways, not knowing what he saw.
After reading it all, I saw Taisun's familiar instructions at the end: "Read it, verify the matter, copy it and keep it in the file, and send the original copy to the letter."
Yu Lu held these pieces of paper, her face suddenly turned red, she closed her eyes to calm down, then opened her eyes and looked at Su Ziji.
"After we traveled, our every move was watched. Shang Xiucai was also sent by them. Burning the merchants was just a ploy. It was a trap set by them. Even shooting me was just to anger Fang Xi?"
"Yes, don't say it's them. Even I am setting up spies to prevent any unexpected events. As soon as your incident comes out, I will order an investigation."
"Because there were clues, the truth came out as soon as I checked." Su Ziji smiled slightly and said: "The relevant people and the people who reported the report are all below. It's not difficult for you to meet. I will ask the guards later.
Take you there."
Chai Kejing also understood it better and said: "Sir Yu, if you don't tell anyone else, our counties have heard about this."
"It's not a secret."
"Does the county know about it?" Yu Lu muttered, shaking his body.
It turned out that what he and Fang Xi thought was a secret trip was all under the watchful eyes and even turned into a joke at the banquet.
And all of this, what I have experienced, the anger I feel about it, the sadness I feel about it, and the fear I feel about it, are all just a result of someone else’s actions?
Even Shang Xiucai, whom he suffered from and admired, was actually someone they sent?
Did they set that fire on purpose?
No, if burning a business is a tactic, then the people who died inside...
Yu Lu's eyes became colder and colder. The person who died inside must indeed be Shang Xiucai's wife, right?
Mrs. Shang was obviously abandoned and treated as a part of this scheme in order to gain her trust and make herself believe that Shang Xiucai was killed and silenced just to investigate the case.
Not to mention, that arrow was sharp and accurate, aimed at his own heart, just to kill his calmer self.
Is it to anger Fang Xi and make Fang Xi do something wrong, thus becoming a crime against the grandson?
This is officialdom, is this conspiracy?
If you are sincere, loyal, and serving the country and the people, you will trample them under your feet without hesitation?
Su Ziji saw that Yu Lu's whole body was trembling slightly, like a bow that had been stretched but was about to break. He did not comfort him out of sympathy, but nodded: "Yes, as soon as you go out, you will be monitored, and
That’s it.”
"Visiting privately in private means breaking away from the system. With the dragon, you are in the white dragon fish suit. How can you not be the official with the licorice mustard?"
"With just one official, he can be captured and killed."
"Not to mention supervision and entry into the game."
"For the nobles, setting up a net to catch fish means you have to make a large net across counties and counties, but for a grassroots, the net between towns and counties is unbreakable."
Growing pains are experienced by many people.
For those who have a relationship with the grandson, it is a place where countless eyes are focused, whether it is to cling to, use, or frame him, it is indispensable.
Growing up earlier is a good thing rather than a bad thing for Yu Lu and Fang Xi.
At least this time, Yu Lu didn't pay the price with his life, he was just injured.
This is luckier than many people.
After hearing Taisun's answer, Yu Lu closed his eyes again. After a moment, he stood up and saluted to Taisun.
"Fang Xi and I made a mistake, a big mistake!"
Su Ziji reached out to hold him, avoiding his injured arm, patted the back of his hand, and reassured: "It doesn't matter, you guys have no experience."
Chai Kejing looked at it with nothing on his face, feeling envious in his heart.
This is the benefit of having a relationship with your grandson!
Even if you are just a new scholar and do the wrong thing when you go out to do errands, you will not be rejected because of it.
Even the great-grandson dedicated his time to protect him in the busy schedule. If it were anyone else, how could he be treated like this?
However, individuals have their own fate, and now he is doing things with his grandson, which gives him an advantage over others.
After Su Ziji finished speaking, he took the letter paper handed back by Yu Lu. One of the pieces of paper had a part torn off. He looked at the remaining part and said, "This part can be given to Fang Xi."
Chai Kejing didn't know which part was torn off, and he didn't ask.
He was waiting aside. When he saw Taisun putting the remaining letter paper in and handing it to him, he bowed and took it.
"Just send this letter to Fang Xi."
"Yes." Chai Kejing responded.
"You do your business first—take thirty guards with you."
Contrary to what many people think, "a general will die in a hundred battles" actually does not necessarily mean how strong the enemy is, but that he himself is too weak.
"The overwhelming power" actually does not necessarily mean that the enemy is too weak, but that one is too strong.
In the middle and late stages of everything, once the trend of sweeping the situation is formed, there will be no disadvantages. To put it bluntly, no matter how hard and stumbling blocks are, it will only "imitate the mantis with its arms".
To create such a general trend, one had to be cautious at first, and "a lion fights a rabbit, especially with all his strength." In Su Ziji's view, the biggest danger at this time was that someone suddenly appeared in the house of the arrested official "like the mantis with its arms."
", brazenly assassinated Chai Kejing.
This assassination was not in vain.
If people like Chai Kejing ascended the throne, they would have a thousand or ten thousand.
But at this juncture, or within a month, it would be difficult to find a replacement.
One month is enough for the capital to know and respond accordingly.
This is "late to change".
In Su Ziji's view, the yachamen that Chai Kejing gathered himself were actually easy to bribe, and the guards were the elites in the country. More importantly, they were members of the royal family. They were born to despise life and would kill anyone who wanted to.
Scruples are the best executors.
As for the emperor's people, what about the emperor's people? Even if the emperor gives an order, these people will kill him without hesitation.
At this time, it comes in handy.
This is called this time, that time.
Everything was for the power of thunder. This was the reason why Su Ziji acquiesced and even encouraged Chai Kejing to kill officials with a stick.
"I would like to thank my grandson for your great kindness!"
Thirty period guards are quite a lot. At critical times, there are iron-like enforcement personnel. Thirty people are enough to arrest and kill ministers in the imperial court, not to mention county officials.
Chai Kejing could feel his grandson's importance and support for him, so he responded again and kowtowed deeply.
"Get up!" Su Ziji smiled slightly, but his heart went far away.
Zhang Dai, Zhang Dai, do you know that the letter and the transferred case file this time are the only way for your whole family to survive?
