Chapter 261: Turning Eyes
However, this kind of persistence will not last long, what has happened, even if Old Man Su does his hands and feet cleanly, others will not really be able to find any traces.
At most, people just spend more time and take more detours.
This is also why after a few years, Old Man Su will not give up and appear in the capital of the Great Zhou.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, the rule of officials was relatively clear, and the old man Su was not in office for a long time, because the amount of bribes he embezzled was not particularly large.
In addition, in addition to corruption and bribery, this product has not been found to be charged with other crimes, and it is his superior, and in the end, he was only dismissed.
But even so, Old Man Su still has a strong unwillingness.
He wants to be an official, he wants to hold authority.
With General Shen under pressure in Liaodong, he has no way to continue to be an official, but he doesn't want to just go back to his hometown to be a farmer.
So this product hit the idea to the dignitaries in the capital.
In his mind, even if General Shen could cover the sky in Liaodong, he would inevitably have some sworn enemies in the capital who either disagreed with him politically or had some personal grudges with him.
Old Man Su's targets for going to Beijing this time are these dignitaries who are not on good terms with General Shen.
He thought very well, but unfortunately when it came to actual operation, things were far from being as simple as he imagined.
There are indeed high-ranking officials and nobles who are not on good terms with General Shen, but the question is, what qualifications does he have to let the family stand up for him?
First of all, he is just a former dynasty jinshi without any background, if it weren't for the lack of talent when the new dynasty was established, it is still a mystery whether he can be appointed as the governor of the state by the imperial court.
A poor person like him who has a stain on his body, has no family support behind him, and has low utilization value, no dignitary or dignitary will be willing to go to great lengths to help him reinstate.
Secondly, he is already very old, and in the ancient society where the average life expectancy is very low, people of his age basically belong to the category of needing to take care of their lives.
Although he still refuses to give up, others always have to consider whether their investment has a chance to get a return, right?
Don't wait until someone else has worked hard to arrange him up, but he kicked his legs and returned to the west, isn't that person busy in vain?
If he had a good son, he could repay the debt from his father, but his eldest son had passed away, the second son was issued a "never hired" approval document by the imperial court, and the third son was a complete bastard.
Again, he really has the handle in the hands of others, instead of being wronged and framed, even if there are dignitaries who don't dislike him and don't worry about his sudden death, that person has to weigh whether helping him implicate himself, right?
Based on the above reasons, Mr. Su's trip to the capital can be said to be unsmooth and hit a wall everywhere.
He entrusted a lot of favors and spent a lot of money, but in the end, he couldn't find a dignitary who was willing to stand up for him.
Just today, the last person he could ask for brought him bad news, just like everyone else.
Old Man Su was completely desperate now, he wandered on the streets, full of unwillingness and resentment.
Touching the sleeve pocket of the silver ticket that there was not much left, Old Man Su wandered aimlessly on the street while beginning to think about returning to his hometown.
However, at this moment, he happened to see Su Shen and Meng Hao, a young couple.
At that time, Su Shen and Meng Zhen had just come out of Shen's house, and because they didn't have lunch at Shen's house, Meng Zhen and Su Shen planned to go to the restaurant to pack some things to take home.
When Old Man Su pushed the car window and ordered Cedar, he happened to see the face of Su Shen, who was eight points similar to his eldest son.
Recognizing Su Shen, Old Man Su was surprised, but also felt that he saw a glimmer of opportunity again.
Of course, he didn't expect Su Shen to help him run for office, he just remembered a rumor in the capital coldly.
It is said that General Shen's long-lost biological daughter has been found, and the name of his son-in-law is Su Shen.
When he first heard this rumor, Old Man Su was both shocked and unbelievable.
He accidentally knocked over the cups, plates and bowls on the table, which for a time attracted the surprised eyes of those around him.
But soon Old Man Su forced himself to calm down, in his mind, if Su Shen was really General Shen's fast son-in-law, then he would definitely kill back to the Su family as soon as possible and find their family to take revenge.
Since Su Shen didn't do this, then this Su Shen should obviously not be Bi Su Shen.
In fact, Old Man Su's guess can't be wrong, if he were to replace the previous Su Shen, Su Shen would really do everything he could to avenge his mother by any means.
When Meng Zhen first met Su Shen, didn't Su Shen just look like he was "living just for revenge".
Old Man Su just didn't know what happened to Su Shen and what happened to him after leaving the Su family.
Of course, he didn't want to confirm it with his own eyes, but at that time, he was busy tying up with the powerful people in the capital for his official career, and of course he would not put Su Shen's affairs in the first place.
If it weren't for the fact that he was completely desperate at this time, Old Man Su would not be doing official desire. Driven by hope, an impulse directly came to the door of the Su family.
"Ah Shen, your two uncles and I have been looking for you all these years."
Old Man Su tried to play the family card, but Su Shen didn't appreciate it at all, he sneered, "Looking for me?" Is it to kill me again? ”
"You kid." Old Man Su was embarrassed and weak-hearted, but he didn't dare to show any clues on his face.
Indeed, his two sons sent people to find Su Shen, in order to really keep doing nothing and let Su Shen die outside.
Especially during the period when General Shen was looking for Su Shen, the second and third sons of Old Man Su were all restless and on pins and needles.
Moreover, Mr. Su's second son also lost his temper because his mother, younger brother, and sister-in-law were not careful enough.
He was afraid that his mother, younger brother, and sister-in-law would implicate him, and the facts just proved that Old Man Su's second son was not unfounded - this evil thing done by his mother, younger brother, and younger brother-in-law did indeed cause him to go home and eat himself soon.
Because of this, Old Man Su's second son's family directly turned against Old Man Su's third son and his family, and now although the two of them still live in the same house, the two families have already fought like black-eyed chickens.
Old Man Su's step-room saw his two sons and brothers turn against each other, and his grandchildren were only left with hatred, resentment, and intrigue between each other, and her heart was feeling what it meant to be in dire straits almost every day.
