Su Xiang sighed and said: "At the same time, many trading houses and embroidery workshops that had some festivals with the Su family began to join forces to suppress the Su family, and some business partners who were originally Su families also cut off their business contacts with the Su family for fear of getting involved. Even... Even the second master took people out of the Su family and announced that he had nothing to do with the Su family. ”

Although Su Xiang said vaguely, Yang Yi also roughly knew the situation of the Su family at this time after careful questioning.

Su Zhongzhai has a total of two sons and a daughter, his mother Concubine Ning is the youngest, and the eldest is called Su Fan, who is a somewhat pedantic reader, timid and has no opinions, and the second is called Su Sheng, who is a more cerebral but rather ruthless person.

When the Su family suffered this catastrophe, the second Su Sheng actually broke away from the Su family with his family and took away a lot of the Su family's property, which made Yang Yi extremely angry.

I have to say that the current situation of the Su family is even worse than Yang Yi imagined, and it is more appropriate to describe it with a sentence that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing. According to Su Xiang, most of the Su family's industry in Chengzhou has been eaten, and the hall and industry outside are gradually being swallowed up, and the reason why it can still persist is undoubtedly because Su Zhongzhai is still alive, once the sick Su Zhongzhai dies, the fate of the Su family is predictable.

Su Xiang is the old man of the Su family, in charge of the Su family's most important business shop in Jianchongguan, although he regrets the current situation of the Su family, but there is no other way.

"Childe, when you come home this time, remember to be careful, don't reveal your identity, otherwise even the master won't be able to protect you."

Yang Yi nodded and condensed: "Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I will definitely find out who is framing the Su family, and I will settle the Su family's accounts with them." ”

Su Xiang paused when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Son, don't be impulsive, since I heard that your illness was cured a year ago, I have always said that as long as your mother and son are safe, it will be fine, and now that the young lady is gone, you are the only person that the master is worried about." ”

Su Xiang only thought that Yang Yi had taken refuge in Shuzhong, afraid that he would be young and vigorous, and if he returned to Chengzhou, something would happen recklessly, and then he would be in trouble.

Yang Yi naturally knew Su Xiang's worries, and did not make many excuses, but said: "Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I naturally know in my heart, and ask Uncle Xiang to arrange for us to leave early tomorrow morning, and I will arrive at the state capital as soon as possible." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Yang Yi and his party set off for Chengzhou non-stop.

After entering Jianchong Pass, the road was much easier than when it came, and there were more post stations and patrolling troops on the road, and there was no more trouble such as bandits.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Yang Yi finally arrived at the largest city in Shuzhong, Chengzhou Mansion.

Chengzhou Mansion --- stands on the rare plain basin in Shuzhong, is the capital of Chengzhou, and is the concentration of military, economic and cultural in Shu. Although Chengzhou is far from being as big as Kyoto, it still has a population of more than 300,000, and it is the most concentrated place in Shu.

Although Shuzhong is located in the remote southwest, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the roads are difficult to travel, but because of this, the wars experienced here are far less than those in the Central Plains.

From the time Yang Yi and others entered the city, he found that the search at the gate of Chengzhou Mansion was not large, and both the sergeants and the people seemed very calm. The great turmoil in the Central Plains does not seem to have had much impact here. Maybe the people here feel that whoever is the emperor is very far away from them.

There are many people on the streets, and they are also very prosperous, and the variety of merchants is not less than that of the Central Plains cities. However, Yang Yi did not have the leisure to visit Chengzhou City at this time, and under the leadership of Su Guy's plan, he rushed straight to the Su family's house in the east of the city.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived outside the Su family's house.

When he saw the Su Mansion with a wide wall and a tall courtyard gate, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh that the Su family was an old chamber of commerce in Chengzhou Mansion after all, and the area of this mansion alone was enough to prove the prosperity of the Su family, or the prosperity of the past.

What Yang Yi didn't expect was that there were a lot of people in front of the Su family at this time, and it looked very lively.

Yang Yi led his generals to surround him, and found a group of people standing outside the door, all of whom were wearing red flowers, and the ground was full of boxes and boxes, which looked like a team of relatives.

Yang Yi stopped the man from the merchant house who led the way and wanted to report it, and decided to see what the situation was first.

I saw that there was a young man in the team who was dressed cleanly, with fine skin and tender meat, talking to a middle-aged Confucian standing at the gate of Su Mansion.

I only heard the beautiful boy smile and said: "I said father-in-law, you see that my son-in-law and I have brought all the dowry gifts from afar, why do you let me stand outside here?" ”

The middle-aged Confucian student's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Zhuzi Hugh is talking nonsense, I am not your father-in-law, and my Su family has no plans to take a son-in-law now." ”

The beautiful boy smiled: "Where did you start, old man?" Is it disgusting that my Gao family is not worthy of your Su family? Or do you dislike me for not being worthy of your precious daughter? ”

"Hmph, it's my Su family who can't afford your Gao family, and my daughter doesn't plan to marry for the time being, so Master Gao should go back." The middle-aged Confucian said coldly.

The beautiful boy named Gao Cheng looked pale, and said: "Don't think that if I call you father-in-law, you can rely on the old and sell the old, who doesn't know what your Su family looks like now?" My Gao family can afford your Su family, don't be ignorant. ”

Suddenly, a female voice said in the door of the Su Mansion: "Gao Cheng, don't think that others don't know what you want to do, you want to marry me to occupy the Su family's property, and you can think of it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman walked out of Su Mansion, the woman was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a blue silk light coat, her long hair was tied up behind her back and a small braid, she looked very exquisite.

Yang Yi and the others, who were standing outside the crowd, were shocked when they saw this woman, not for anything else, just because this woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Yang Yi's mother, Concubine Ning, especially the face of the symbol, the outline was very similar to Concubine Ning.

But when he heard the middle-aged Confucian student, he was a little surprised: "Luan'er, what are you doing when you come out?" ”

Gao Cheng below saw the woman come out, and hurriedly smiled kindly: "Miss Suluan, Xiaosheng Gao Cheng is polite!" ”

The woman named Su Luan didn't look at Gao Cheng, and said to the middle-aged Confucian on the side: "Dad, my daughter heard that there were dogs barking constantly at the door of our house, and it was very noisy, so I came out to see whose wild dogs were barking." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Cheng's face below turned pale, and he didn't know that Su Luan was scolding him for being a wild dog.

Gao Cheng laughed angrily: "Hmph, let you harden your mouth for a while, and when you marry into my family, I will settle this account with you!" ”

Su Luan looked at Gao Chengdao with disdain: "Are you also worthy of marrying Miss Ben?" You are still the son of the Gao family, you don't read as many books as me, and you're not afraid of people's jokes. ”

Gao Cheng seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and said angrily with an embarrassed face: "You have to marry today, and if you don't marry, you have to marry!" ”

The middle-aged Confucian said: "Gao Cheng, if you dare to mess around, don't blame me for reporting to the official..."

"Hahaha...!" Gao Cheng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and said: "My husband is so good, then I'll wait here, you go and report to the official to show me." ”

"You!" The middle-aged Confucian trembled angrily.

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Your Su family's feet tremble when they see the government now, and they dare to report to the official?" The government is looking forward to you sending it to the door yourself! Besides, I, Gao Cheng, brought so many dowry gifts, beat gongs and drums to get your daughter, and gave your Su family enough face, and you still reported to the official to arrest me? Do you really think you are still a wealthy family? ”

Su Luan said angrily: "This girl just won't marry your wild dog, see how you treat." ”

Gao Cheng laughed cruelly, and said to the subordinate on the side with a ruthless heart: "Put all the dowry gifts here for me, go and invite the young grandmother back to the house." ”

Behind Gao Cheng, more than a dozen strong family members shouted, and immediately rushed to the steps.

Su Luan and her father didn't seem to expect Gao Cheng to really dare to rob people, and after being stunned for a moment, the middle-aged Confucian exclaimed: "Luan'er, go in quickly!" Close the door! ”

But at this time, when the middle-aged Confucian was speaking, the gang of vicious family members had already rushed up the steps, blocking Su Luan's way back.

"Miss !!" The two old servants and maids in the door wanted to come out, but they were stopped by several members of the Gao family.

Su Luan said angrily: "Gao Cheng! Don't you dare!! ”

Gao Cheng's face was gloomy, he didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, the two members of the Gao family stepped forward to prepare to arrest Su Luan.

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

Two sounds of flesh and bones touching the ground sounded, and the noisy door of the Su Mansion suddenly fell silent.

Gao Cheng looked at the two Gao Mansion family members who had fainted after falling down the steps in disbelief, and then looked up at the top of the steps.

A big man stronger than a cow was standing on the steps, his hands clasped around his chest, staring at Gao Cheng with a smile.

Gao Cheng immediately reacted and said angrily to the surrounding families: "Why are you still stunned? Come on! ”

The Gaofu family members suddenly rushed forward with a shout.

For Tie Niu, these family members who don't know martial arts at all are no different from sandbags, and he can't even move a step, and when he comes up, he grabs them and throws them down the steps, one after another, just like throwing sandbags, Gao Cheng and Su Luan, who only watched, were dumbfounded.

However, in a dozen breaths, more than a dozen strong families in Gaofu all rolled and wailed under the steps, and the scene was very spectacular.

The sluggish Gao Cheng stood there looking at the still smiling Tie Niu and didn't dare to move, his face was in a cold sweat, where had he ever seen such a terrifying person.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on Gao Cheng's shoulder, and Gao Cheng was shocked.

Gao Cheng slowly turned his head and saw a man of the same age as himself standing next to him at some point, staring at him with a smile.

The man gently patted the dust on Gao Cheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little friend, you also have to be strong to be a gentleman, otherwise you will have to make jokes if you are not careful, hurry up, you will tell you to go home for dinner." ”
