At this time, on the side of Su Mansion, Su Linxiu and Su Linzi entered the study after returning from the Drunken Wind Building. They didn't come out until it was time for dinner.

When the Su family eats, there is usually no habit of men and women, and they all sit at the same big table and eat together.

This night, because of the destruction of the Xia family, Su Xiang, who was in a rare good mood, took out the wine that he had been cherishing for many years, and planned to share it with the two sons. As a result, when he saw that the position that belonged to them was empty, he frowned at the moment.

He turned his head and asked his eldest daughter-in-law, Li, and his second daughter-in-law, Wang, "Did these two stinky boys go to fool around again?

Li and Wang glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

In the end, it was Li who took the lead in speaking: "Dad, the uncle and the second master have come back in the afternoon, and they went to the study together. ”

Su Ming's eyes widened, and he slapped the vibrating dishes and bowls on the table: "Don't be hungry? If you don't get hungry, you can skip eating? Every night at home, all the descendants must be in place, have they forgotten this rule? It seems that they have been itching lately, and they have forced the old man to use family law on them." ”

"Master, maybe they are talking about something important and forget the time for a while, don't be angry yet, I'll send someone over and call them over. Seeing this, the old lady on the side was afraid that Su Ming would really use the family law for those two sons, so she hurriedly persuaded her, while glancing at the Li family and the Wang family.

Li Shi hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, Dad, you can't be angry because of this little thing, I'll go and call them over for dinner." ”

"Since they are not hungry, then don't eat tonight, lest you waste food." Let's eat!"

Su Ming gave an order, where did everyone dare to hesitate, and immediately picked up the chopsticks one by one and began to eat, and for a while, the sound of chopsticks colliding with dishes could only be heard occasionally in the entire hall.

After the meal, Su Ming went for a walk in the garden of his house according to his previous habits, and he didn't know if it was intentional, but he came to the door of Su Linxiu's study courtyard.

He looked at the candlelight reflected in the window in the study inside, and his eyes narrowed at the moment, he wanted to see what the hell these two people were doing, and they didn't even eat dinner. waved his hand and didn't let the guards outside the study report, and pushed the door in directly with a cold snort.

There was a lot of movement when he pushed the door, and both doors were pushed directly against the wall, making a clattering sound.

Frightened, the two brothers inside hurriedly rushed out, and when they saw that it was their father, their faces were stunned, but when they saw the angry look on their father's face, they began to feel a little bad in their hearts.

Just now they were in a hurry to come out to check the situation, and those title deeds didn't have time to be collected, if Dad wanted to go in later......

The two brothers glanced at each other, and then Su Linxiu took the lead in speaking: "Dad, why are you here?" After all, this study is his, and Dad came over so angrily, could it be that he knew what the two brothers did today?

Su Ming snorted coldly: "Why did I come here? I want to ask you, it is said that as soon as I come back in the afternoon, I will nest in this study, and I won't even eat dinner, what are you doing?"

"Where, Dad, our brother is fascinated by discussing business matters, if you don't believe me, you can ask your eldest brother. Big brother, do you say yes?" Seeing that Su Ming didn't believe it, Su Linxiu hurriedly raised his hand and pointed at the people around him.

Su Linzi nodded and confirmed: "Dad, what the second brother said is right, we are indeed discussing business matters." ”

Su Ming's eyes wandered around the faces of the two, and after a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked directly inside, and said, "Oh, then I want to see what kind of business can make your brothers forget to sleep and eat so much, it seems that our Su family is going to make a fortune." ”

Su Linxiu saw that he was going inside, so he hurriedly stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't you believe in your son? You can't understand this business matter as an official, and now that it's late at night, you might as well go back and hug my mother and rest in peace earlier." ”

"Go to bed now, don't you think it's still early?Second brother, are you looking for a reason to stop me, please find a decent one? It's just a brain, full of loopholes, hum!" Su Ming directly pushed him away and continued to walk inside.

Su Linxiu stood there and scratched his head, and saw that the boss was also looking at him with a mocking look, and he was out of breath at the moment, glared at him and said, "What kind of expression are you, you have the ability, why didn't you stand there just now?"

Su Linzi raised his eyebrows and retorted with contempt: "Dad has already come in, so it is naturally impossible to let him go back." Originally, you just had to go in one step ahead of Dad and pack up those things, and it would be fine. Who knows, you are really a person who talks and does things without brains, alas...... With your intelligence, how can you be my younger brother? The next time you go out, don't tell others about our relationship when you meet someone. After saying that, he followed in with a proud face.

Leaving Su Linxiu standing in place with an ugly face and grinding his teeth secretly, he had no choice but to follow up.

As soon as the two entered the inner room of the study, they saw their father sitting on a chair in front of the bookcase and looking at the thick stack of Xia's pharmacy title deeds, and their temples began to dance happily.

Su Ming heard the footsteps of them coming in, so he put the title deed on the bookcase, pointed to the chair next to him, and said lightly: "Sit down, you'd better give me a reasonable reason." Otherwise, don't blame your father, I don't treat you as sons. ”

His tone was very light, and it seemed that there were no emotional ups and downs at all, but the more he was like this, the more Su Linxiu and Su Linzi were beating drums in their hearts, and the two of them could only sit down in a proper manner.

"Boss, you can speak first. Su Ming pointed at Su Linzi and said.

Su Linzi touched his nose and replied very unkindly: "Dad, you have also seen that those are all the title deeds of Xia's pharmacy, and this matter has nothing to do with me running a restaurant." If you want to say it, the second child will say it first, after all, he made this matter out. ”

"Boss, what do you mean by me? Could it be that there is no one else with me today besides you? If this matter is not approved by you, I can't take such a big risk to eat Xia's fat meat. Now although this matter has been known by my father, you also have the responsibility not to shirk. ”

"Shut up!" Su Ming saw that the two of them were still arguing about the question of responsibility and irresponsibility at this time, and glared at them fiercely: "I only want to ask you one thing, the Xia clan was exterminated, but is it your handwriting?"

When the two brothers heard this, they shook their heads in unison and replied, "No." ”

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Then did you know in advance that the Xia Clan would be destroyed?"

The two brothers glanced at each other, and finally Su Linxiu spoke: "When I went outside to inspect the shop yesterday morning, someone stuck a knife in my carriage, and there was a note left under the tip of the knife. After speaking, Su Linxiu took out the note from his arms yesterday and handed it to Su Ming, and continued: "Because the things mentioned above are too shocking, after all, the Xia clan is one of the six major families in the capital, with a population of more than a thousand, how could it be wiped out overnight, so my eldest brother and I thought that this should be someone's prank, so we sent someone to hide in the dark and watch the movement of the Drunken Wind Building, but we found nothing." In the end, for the sake of curiosity in my heart, I asked Ah Cheng to pretend to be me and meet with the other party at the agreed time on the note, and then things became like this. As soon as he finished speaking, Su Linxiu's head was hit for a moment, it was not very painful, but it hurt his self-esteem. After all, his own children are so old, and he was taught a lesson by his father in this way, and there was a big brother watching next to him, so he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Fortunately, Dad was not partial, and after giving him such a moment, Su Linzi also suffered a blow on his head, and now he felt much more balanced in his heart.

Su Ming looked at his two sons and scolded with a look of hatred: "Foolish, you guys! You are acting so recklessly, have you ever thought about the consequences it may bring to our Su Mansion in the future? Just to take advantage of such a little advantage, do you want the entire Su Mansion to be buried for your impulse?"

The two brothers were shocked when they heard this, and their faces changed slightly.

"Dad, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the imperial court still plans to confiscate the Xia family's property?" Su Linzi said with a calm face.

"How much money Xia has accumulated over the years, this is what everyone can see. Now that it is dead, those family properties will naturally have to go to the imperial court, and even if there is no reason to include it in the treasury, the emperor will definitely come up with a reason. If the imperial court finds out that these pharmacies have all changed hands, do you think you can get rid of the suspicion of killing the Xia family's murderer?"

"Dad, don't worry, I discussed with my eldest brother, and for the time being, I won't go to the yamen to change the name of the head of the household in these land deeds. The pharmacy continued to operate under the name of Xia's, and only needed to replace the shopkeeper of each pharmacy. And it is impossible for the imperial court to touch the Xia family property for a while, you forgot, there is still a queen mother surnamed Xia in the palace. As long as the Xia family did not commit a crime, and the Xia family still had descendants, it would not be the turn of the imperial court to make a move. As for the Xia clan, I naturally have a way to make her unable to find our leader. Su Linxiu said with a confident face.

After hearing this, Su Ming not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his face became more and more ugly: "Queen Mother, do you know that Queen Mother, since the emperor learned that the Xia clan was exterminated in the morning, he has already issued a secret order to let people confine the Snow Moon Hall where the Queen Mother lives. How can a person under house arrest be able to compete with the current emperor?"

Su Linxiu exclaimed: "Ah, then according to what you said, we have been cheated today?" His heart began to drip blood, which was a full 400,000 taels of silver.

"Hmph! I deserve to be scolded, I just think it's a lesson. Let's see if you dare to be greedy in the future! Before you get your hands on it yet, quickly dispose of these things! It's best to pack up these title deeds and throw them into Xia's pharmacy without realizing it. Handle the tail cleanly, don't let people suspect the façade of our Su Mansion. ”

Su Linzi was lowering his head at this time and did not squeak, and he was also heartbroken at the moment. But no matter how painful their hearts were, they were tempted by this piece of fat from the beginning, and they really didn't take this into account at the time, but this lesson was really expensive.

"Got it. Su Lin replied.

Su Ming nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know who the person you are trading with?"

Su Linxiu shook his head: "At that time, he had a veil on his face, and he couldn't see it very really. However, looking at his temperament, he doesn't look like an ordinary person in the market. According to what he revealed, all of them should be from outside the Guan. ”

"Outside the gates?"

"Well, that's what the man said. ”

"You believe him when he says that?" asked Su Ming.

"We didn't believe it at first, but one thing he said later made us believe a little. Su Linzi answered.

"What is it? Could it be related to the extermination of the Xia clan?"

"Dad, Wise!" Su Linxiu slapped a fart at the right time.

As a result, Su Ming glared at him: "Get out, don't try to be sloppy with Lao Tzu, there is anything that can't be said so far, hurry up and tell the truth." ”

Su Linxiu touched his nose and began to get to the point: "Here's how it ...... thing"
