Chapter 56: The Ruthless Strike (1)
These days, Lei Wentong has been restless.
Provoking the Wang family and Su Tianran is the best way, but unfortunately, it has no effect, until Su Huawen, Wang and Su Tianran left Pingyang Mansion City, there is no news, on the contrary, what worries Lei Wentong is that the Su family's land in Pingyang Mansion has actually been allocated to Su Tiancheng's name.
This shows that his plan failed, or was seen by Su Huawen and Su Tiancheng.
Lei Wentong originally despised Su Huawen, and they all did business in one place, after so many years, Lei Wentong knew what kind of skills Su Huawen had, Lei Wentong knew very well.
He didn't expect that Su Huawen didn't move.
After some analysis, Lei Wentong believed that Su Tiancheng saw through his plan.
After a plan, Lei Wentong thought of another plan, that is, to unite some big households in Pingyang Mansion City to collectively deal with Su Huawen, or Su Tiancheng, but unfortunately the matter is unknown, people are unwilling to do it, Su Tiancheng is a scholar, Su Huawen went to Taiyuan Mansion to do business, what does it have to do with them.
The prefect Weng Tongzhang met with Su Tiancheng, which made Lei Wentong nervous, continue like this, it won't take long, Su Tiancheng has risen, and his family may not be able to deal with it.
At present, Su Tiancheng is still in the process of development, and there is still a chance, so he must do it.
The safest thing to do is to nip the danger in the bud.
Lei Wentong's experience is also unusual, his ancestors have always been in Pingyang Fucheng, and in the hands of Lei Wentong, the business has been very large, and he belongs to one of the largest households, and for a period of time, he almost monopolized the business of Pingyang Mansion to traffic grain to the outside.
Luck came, everything went well, but in a few years, Lei Wentong's own nephew was promoted in the exam, and his three sons also became veritable scholars.
Lei Wentong is cautious and bold, saying cautious, is that he always pays attention to the rumors of the outside world, and when he says bold, he dares to seize all possible opportunities, and never allows threats to exist.
Su Tiancheng has become a huge threat, his son Lei Fangui and Su Tiancheng fell out, this may not be a particularly big deal, but he went to Su Mansion by himself, taught Su Tiancheng a lesson, and later provoked the relationship, which made things completely deteriorate.
In his opinion, the relationship between him and Su Tiancheng is already a life-and-death relationship, and such a threat must not exist.
After thinking about it carefully, Lei Wentong made up his mind to let Su Tiancheng completely disappear from this world.
Thinking about doing it, he had to figure out all the circumstances, Qu Qingze went to Su Mansion, he went to investigate, but there was no news, it seems that this Qu Qingze is not a big person.
Now that it's been decided to do it, there's not much politeness to say.
To do such a thing, Lei Wentong can't come forward, and he can't do anything in Fucheng, in case he annoys the prefect, the Lei family can't bear it.
Not only that, Lei Wentong thought more far-reaching.
It is best to find an opportunity when Su Tiancheng is out, so that he can completely clear up the relationship, and no one can think of himself.
Money can make ghosts grind, as long as you give up the money, are you afraid that no one will do it?
The opportunity soon came, and Su Tiancheng actually went out to travel.
Lei Wentong quickly dispatched the most effective nursing home, and secretly followed behind, until Su Tiancheng and others left Shanxi and entered Henan.
The nursing home of Lei Mansion was originally composed of all kinds of people, and some people knew that between Pinglu in Shanxi and Luoyang in Henan, there was a team of rogues, and there were not many of them.
Lei Wentong, who was carried away, actually sent a nursing home and contacted this team of rogues.
The silver discussed is 10,000 taels, and the task is to kill Su Tiancheng, as well as everyone who has traveled with Su Tiancheng, bury the body deeply, and don't let anyone know the way, so that Su Tiancheng will disappear for no reason.
Lei Wentong was already overwhelmed with anger, and what he thought of was dealing with Su Tiancheng and the Su family, no matter what the price was. It's a pity that he made a huge mistake, and that was to contact the rogue.
Even if it is to contact the bandits, the nature is different, the imperial court for collusion with the thieves, divided into three situations, collusion with Houjin is the most intolerable, no matter what the situation, all beheaded, confiscated family property, family distribution, family members issued music. The second is collusion with the rogue, which is also a felony, after finding out, it is the same beheading, and the family is distributed, but the family will not be assigned to the music book, and the most common thing is to collude with bandits, etc., which is an internal contradiction, and it is much lighter to deal with, and it can even be silver, and in the end there is nothing.
Lei Wentong didn't know the rules of the Imperial Court, but he was dizzy.
After contacting Liukou, Lei Wentong didn't think about tea and dinner, waited for the news, and paid attention to the situation in Su Mansion at the same time, in case Su Tiancheng went home directly, proving that things were not done well, then quickly send 10,000 taels of silver and get the letter back.
After sobering up, Lei Wentong also felt afraid, but he thought that Su Tiancheng was just a white-faced scholar, with no power to restrain the chicken, there must be no way to live, there were three hundred rogues, these people, spitting, Su Tiancheng couldn't stand it. Moreover, the letter was also written in the capacity of the Lei family's nursing home, so the problem was not too big.
After the tenth day of the fifth month, Lei Wentong always paid attention to the situation in Su Mansion, according to the calculation of time, the Liukou should also start at this time, and his own nursing home is still in the Liukou, waiting for news.
On May 12, Qu Qingze arrived in Sufu.
Wang Dazhi stood guard outside the study and did not allow anyone to enter.
Su Pingyang waited outside the moving courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter.
"Brother, everything has been investigated clearly, the guard sent an army to clean up this group of rogues, but fortunately, the news was received in time, the rogues were caught off guard, and most of them were wiped out, the biggest achievement, guess what?"
Su Tiancheng had already expected that Qu Qingze was going to do this.
"Big brother, tell me quickly, I can't guess."
"Ha Luha, what do you look at here?"
Qu Qingze took out two letters.
"Here, one is a letter written by the Lei Family Nursing Home to Liukou, the meaning is very clear, take your life, of course, including my life, all the people who travel with it, don't think about life, the price is 10,000 taels of silver."
Su Tiancheng's face became very ugly.
"Another letter is the confession of the Lei family's nursing home, you can't imagine it, Lei Wentong actually sent the nursing home, waited for news in the den of the rogue, and was captured alive by us, all of this was planned by Lei Wentong."
Su Tiancheng's face showed a sneer.
"Harming others will end up harming yourself, big brother, you shouldn't just talk about things."
"Well, I don't understand what you mean."
"I mean, you shouldn't let the Lei family's nursing home say that the purpose is to kill me."
"Ha Luha, brother, I can't see it, you are really scheming, will I be so stupid, Lei Wentong is thinking about my life, I will be polite, the nursing home is said according to my request, Lei Wentong has been colluding with the rogues for a long time, and the rogues invaded Pingyang Mansion last year, and Lei Wentong has a huge relationship."
Su Tiancheng smiled and nodded, doing such a thing, Jinyiwei has always been handy.
"Brother, Lei Wentong is completely finished, don't talk about him, even his three sons, his fame is gone, I'm still wondering if his nephew, who is in charge, will also take some responsibility."
The scope of this kind of involvement, Su Tiancheng really didn't expect that Lei Wentong's problem would involve his nephew.
"Brother, since Lei Wentong wants to take your life, I think I should also compensate you for something."
"What do you mean by that, big brother?"
"The Lei family must have been confiscated, such a large merchant family, the property is needless to say, according to my estimates, at least more than one million taels of silver, you didn't think that you could get some from the middle."
"Big brother, you are joking, copying the Lei family, that's a matter of the government, how can I interfere, besides, the confiscated property needs to be registered, and the calculation is clear, I just want to get some, and I don't have a chance."
Qu Qingze smiled.
"Brother, you have always been shrewd, how did you become so honest, whether you want me to find a way to help you, no matter what, we are all brothers."
Su Tiancheng hurriedly began to think, there are not many opportunities like this, since Qu Qingze is willing to help himself, why not, even if he wants to break off the relationship with Qu Qingze, there is not much possibility, the two of them killed five people together, they know the roots, they can get gold and silver, such a good thing must not be refused.
"In this way, Brother Xie Xie."
"Hehe, tell me, think about how much compensation you want."
Su Tiancheng gritted his teeth.
"I want 10,000 taels of gold, since Lei Wentong wants to buy my head with 10,000 taels of silver, then I will ask for 10,000 taels of gold as compensation."
Su Tiancheng thinks that he has asked for too much, 10,000 taels of gold is 100,000 taels of silver, the ancestors of the Su family, who have saved it for so many years, that is, 10,000 taels of gold.
"Brother is too polite, he doesn't have a big appetite, according to my thoughts, it's far more than that, brother is a person who does big things, and he needs silver taels, but you have already spoken, as a big brother, I must help you, double, 20,000 taels of gold, with this gold, you can do a lot of things."
Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, dumbfounded, his appetite was big, Qu Qingze's appetite was even greater.
Poor Lei Wentong, still waiting for news in the mansion, he didn't know what to do, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze, at this time, were already calculating his property.
Now, Lei Wentong just knows the news, and he has no chance to turn the tables.
