Su family.

As the head of the four major families in Runzhou, the Su family is undoubtedly the head of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Bai, Shen, and Song families have a certain gap with the Su family.

In the past tens of hundreds of years, the four families have fought openly and secretly, and even the rapid rise of the Xiao family in recent years has still not replaced the position of the Su family.

At this time, within the Su family, which firmly occupies the position of the first family in Jiangnan, everything seems to be as usual, but in a certain hall, the atmosphere is a little dignified.

There are only two people in the spacious hall.

Su Zhe, the head of the Su family, sat on the main seat, rubbing his thumb and index finger lightly, and said in disbelief: "The Xiao family is actually the remnant of the Xiao family of the Liang Kingdom......

Another man paced slowly in the hall and muttered: "The Liang Kingdom has been dead for a long time, and they still want to restore the country, and they even told us about this kind of rebellious idea, aren't they afraid that the Su family will tell the government?" ”

"He's afraid he's fearless." Su Zhe stood up and said: "In my opinion, I don't dare to say the entire Jiangnan, but Jiangnan Dongdao, I'm afraid that it has fallen into their hands, otherwise, he will never dare to find out all this with us." ”

The man looked at him and asked, "What does the eldest brother mean, we are going to help the surnamed Xiao?" ”

"Why should we help him?" Su Zhe glanced at him and asked: "Today, the Tang family is in full swing, among the two princes, His Majesty is obviously more inclined to His Royal Highness King Duan, whether it is to be powerful or rich, the Su family only needs to wait a few years, why take such a risk?" ”

"What do you mean by big brother......" The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "We expose them to the government?" ”

"Nope." Su Zhe waved his hand and said: "The surname Xiao has no fear, presumably Runzhou is already under his control, once he is angered, I am afraid that the Su family will be destroyed in his hands." ”

The middle-aged man's face sank, although the Su family is the largest family in Jiangnan and can mobilize huge resources, but in the end it is just a merchant family, and there are only about 100 people in the family, so it is impossible to fight with a well-prepared thief.

He said with a gloomy face: "It's not to help, it's not to help, so what should the Su family do?" ”

"Wait and see." Su Zhe sat down again and said: "This move, whether it is advancing or retreating, there is a great risk, the best way is not to advance or retreat, and wait and see what happens." ”

His eyes looked out of the window and said: "If the Xiao family fails, it won't even affect our Su family, if he really succeeds, the Su family is not an enemy of him, and he won't do too much, at most he will suffer some losses, and he can still save the family's ......."

The middle-aged man looked at him and asked tentatively, "Big brother thinks it's possible for them to succeed?" ”

"With them alone, it is naturally impossible." Su Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "But there are still the Western Regions and Jiangnan, if the Chen State is attacked by the enemy, it may really be impossible to survive, this may not be small, the Su family must not be desperate, and pin all their hopes on the Tang family and King Duan......"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "I understand, if you wait and see, the Su family can advance or retreat, and no matter what happens in the future, they will not be forced to a dead end......

Su Zhe nodded and said, "The Xiao clan rebelled, and he will definitely not let go of the Jingguan of the Ministry of Officials, even if he can't rebel, if he can help us get rid of that person, it will save a lot of trouble for the Jingshi......"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "If they don't get rid of it, we can also set fire to it while there is chaos, after all, the Jingshi side has taken special care of the ...... this time."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "You can arrange this matter......"

Before he finished speaking, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the room, Su Zhe paused, looked outside, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

In the courtyard of the Su family, dozens of figures in armor poured in from outside the door, and one of the leaders stood in the courtyard and said loudly: "Who is the person in charge of the Su family?" ”

A housekeeper ran over and asked, "The villain is the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, I don't know what the official has to do?" ”

Liu Tong glanced at him and said, "One of the assassins who sneaked into the post station yesterday to assassinate my family ran away, and we suspect that he hid in your Su Mansion ......"

He looked behind him and waved his hand, "Search for me!" ”

The housekeeper took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Tong, and hurriedly said: "Official, are you mistaken, this is Su Mansion, how can Su Mansion harbor people and criminals?" ”

Liu Tong put the silver ticket into his arms, looked at him, and said angrily: "You dare to bribe me, brothers, there must be something wrong with the Su family, give me a careful search, a ruthless search!" ”

The housekeeper of the Su Mansion changed his face greatly, Su Zhe walked out of the room, looked at Liu Tong, and asked, "Who are you, do you have a search warrant from the government?" ”

Liu Tong threw the search warrant issued by the Assassin's Mansion to him and said: "Assassinating an official of the imperial court, but it is a capital crime, harboring people and committing crimes, and it will be punished for the same crime, what, do you want to stop it?" ”

Su Zhe looked at him and asked, "What if we want to stop it?" ”

Boom!

Liu Tong unsheathed the long knife on his waist, pointed at him from afar, and said, "Kill me!" ”

At the same time as he made this move, two old men walked out from behind Fang Zhe, staring at him with dead eyes.

Being watched by the two old men, Liu Tong felt like he was being targeted by two poisonous snakes, and couldn't help but shudder, and when he looked at the two of them again, he laughed instead of being angry, and said loudly: "Brothers, listen well, Su Mansion is very likely to harbor criminals, if anyone dares to obstruct official affairs, kill them!" ”

"Wait." Su Zhe walked out, waved his hand to the two old men behind him, and said, "Whether the Su family harbors criminals or not, you will know after searching." ”

"You know each other." Liu Tong glanced at him, looked behind him, and said loudly: "Search for me!" ”

……

"That's the second master's favorite vase, they actually smashed ......"

"The third lady's rosewood cabinet was also demolished by them!"

"Who are these people, has the Su family offended them?"

"I don't care about it...... master"

Sioux House.

The people under the maid stood in the courtyard, watching those people turn the entire Su family into a mess, and the rare treasures placed outside by the Su family didn't know how much they had been destroyed, and they all showed horror on their faces.

"They did it on purpose!" The middle-aged man looked angry and couldn't help but take a step, but was stopped by Su Zhe reaching out his hand.

He turned his head and said angrily, "Big brother, do you want to watch them destroy the Su family?" ”

Su Zhe's face was calm, he rubbed his fingers again, and said, "Let's see what they want to do first." ”

Sioux House, somewhere turned into a messy room.

Liu Tong looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Old Chen, is there really a criminal here?" ”

Chen Zhou waved his hand and said, "No matter who commits a crime, this is just an excuse made by adults." ”

Liu Tong showed a puzzled expression on his face, and said: "No one committed, why did the adults toss the Su family so much, could it be that the Su family once offended him?" ”

"It's not the Su family that offends adults, it's the Jingshi Tang family, but who let them have a relationship with the Tang family?" Chen Zhou glanced at him and said: "You don't know the careful eyes of adults, you are careful, you will be revenged, the enmity between the adults and the Tang family is as deep as the sea, and the relationship between the Su family and the Tang family is so close, this time, if you don't make the Su family restless, the adults are afraid that they will not give up." ”

Liu Tong looked at him and asked, "What kind of chicken and dog are restless?" ”

Chen Zhou glanced out the window and said: "It's not simple, come to the Su family once a day to search, one day to prepare a dragon robe, two phoenix crowns, just say that it was from the Su family, in this way, the Su family's rebellious hat can't be taken off, we take the opportunity to take down all the Su family, escort them to Jingshi, and then confiscate their family property and hand it over to the treasury, Your Majesty let Lord Tang come to Jiangnan this time, just to make money, the Su family is so rich, will Your Majesty let it go?" Even if the Tang family makes it clear to the Su family in the court, for the sake of the silver, His Majesty will turn a blind eye to it......"

Liu Tong glanced sideways at the window, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Wonderful......"

Outside the window, a member of the Su family listened to the conversation inside, his legs trembled, his forehead sweated like rain, and when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside, he pulled his legs and ran......

……

"What did you say!" The middle-aged man beside Su Zhe looked at a member of the Su family, his face changed wildly, grabbed him by the collar, and said loudly: "That's what they said!" ”
