Volume 5 Jiangnan Four Hundred and Eighty Temple Chapter 484 The Su Family's Response
The Su family mansion is located in the west of Suzhou City, just two streets away from the Taishou Mansion, and to the east, is the Wu family's mansion.
The courtyard here stretches for four or five miles, and it is placed in Suzhou, where every inch of land is valuable, and such a magnificent mansion cannot be compared with the official yamen.
And the magnificence of the materials and decorations in various parts of the house is even higher than that of official residences such as Taishou Mansion, and the stone lions in front of the door alone, the two of the Su family are more than twice as high as those in front of the yamen.
The main gate is more than three zhang high and five zhang long, and it is even enough for two or three carriages to run in parallel at the same time, but this portal is not often opened.
Really open in and out of people every day, or the left hand side door, more than two zhang wide, more than one zhang high side door, put in the general large family there, in fact, it is no different from the main gate.
But even if it is a side gate, there will not be too many people who can step into Suzhou City.
But today, seeing that it was getting dark, the Su family's gatehouse was about to close the two doors that were five or six feet thick and covered with iron sheets, but a man dressed as a soap li came in a hurry. Without saying a word, he had already pressed the door, and gasped for breath: "Quickly send a message to the British steward, just say that I want to report to the sect master again......"
The doorman was about to reprimand, but after seeing the identity of the person who came, he quickly changed his attitude, and quickly agreed to let the person in, and then closed the door forcefully.
After the meal, this soap servant was already accompanied by Su Ying, the foreign manager of the Su family, stood in front of a brightly lit hall, and reported to an elegant man: "Fifth master, the people in the yamen have already gone to Chengjiagou, I'm afraid that in more than half an hour, they will bring people back, and then ......."
"Su Yu, you did a good job this time, I will take credit for you." Even after hearing such fatal news, Su Wenqing, the fifth master of the Su family, still looked calm and calm, even the tea in the teacup in his hand did not have the slightest ripple, and his face was still a warm smile.
He nodded at Su Ying again: "Go to the tent and get three hundred taels of silver for Su Yu, and say that it is for his mother's 60th birthday." I will give you the rest of the reward in a little time. ”
"Fifth Master Xie rewarded ......" Su Yuden was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and then under the leadership of Su Ying, he went with a thousand thanks.
The Su family not only has a big family, but also a large population, but not all the children of the Su family can become masters like a few ancestors.
A side branch like Su Yu in a side branch, in fact, is not a good life, so he relies on himself to be diligent, clever enough, and good at stammering, so he got a little relationship with his family, and then got a job in the official mansion with this.
And he is smarter, he knows better what role he should play in the official yamen, especially after learning the truth about the Hanshan Temple case before......
Although he was terrified in his heart, he understood that this was an opportunity, and whether he could come forward and be truly appreciated by his family.
Therefore, after he happened to know that Wu Tieyi was going to send someone to Chengjiagou to get someone, he didn't care about anything else, and came directly to report the news.
Even if he will be pursued by Lord Wu later, as long as he hugs his family's thighs, he is not afraid. And maybe, after this time, Wu Tieyi will no longer be able to be a pusher in Suzhou, and his position in the yamen will be a few steps higher.
With this in mind, he gave it a go. And judging from the current results, this one is a complete bet on him.
It wasn't until the two of them left that Su Wenqing's face became slightly gloomy, and he knew that there would be such trouble.
The third brother sometimes looks quite decisive in his actions, but sometimes he is still too kind to a woman, resulting in such a big flaw.
Now that he is not at home, this loophole can only be filled by himself!
After exhaling a long breath, he quickly spoke: "Su Yun." ”
A lean-looking subordinate came in at the call, bowing his head in obedience.
"You go to the side courtyard, find Mr. Tong and a few of them, tell them that my Su family is in trouble, and I hope they will ...... action."
As he opened his mouth to say what he meant, Su Yun's originally calm face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. But after snorting for a while, he only bowed his head and agreed, and then turned around and went to find the helpers.
After making arrangements, Su Wenqing gently tapped his finger on the bookcase for a while, his eyes flickered, but he had already made a decision: "Come and prepare the car!" ”
"Fifth Master, where are you going so late?" Outside the door, another cronie hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"I haven't visited Sect Master Wu for a few days, and I want to go and see him. By the way, bring the two or three hundred years old ginseng that I got from the north before. Since the chaos in the north, this thing has become less and less common. ”
Soon, a carriage drove out of the side gate of Su's house, and four horses galloped at the same pace on the wide Suzhou long street. To its left and right, there were more than twenty tall men with swords and bows on their backs, escorting them, and they all headed towards the east.
And this scene was all seen by a man hiding in the shadows on the side of the road, and said softly: "Sure enough." Your Majesty is really wise, they are really weak-hearted, and they move first! ”
Of course, what he didn't notice was that a corner door on the side of the Su family's mansion also opened and closed quickly at the same time, and then a group of about thirty people also rode away quickly.
It's just that after the group went out of the city smoothly with the token, they didn't go straight to Chengjiagou, which was a few miles away, but after galloping back and forth along the official road for a while, they picked a few positions, divided them into arrays, and hid them gently.
Just looking at the skillful movements of these people, you can know that they are all good at hiding and sneaking attacks, and the target of the ambush here is naturally self-evident.
Time passed quickly as they waited, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second watch, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
At the end of the month, when there is no moon and only a few stars hang in the sky, there are no pedestrians on the official road, so it is extraordinarily quiet.
Even the distant sound of insects could clearly reach the ears of the people who were lurking here, and several of them were so powerful that they could even faintly hear the chaotic sounds of the village in the distance.
Obviously, the sudden attack and arrest of the officers and soldiers caught the whole village off guard, and perhaps Zhang Lei and others, who were the targets, would struggle desperately, but in the end they still couldn't get out.
But it doesn't matter, Tong Wanli, who has a pair of provocative ears and feels that he can hear more clearly than the other brothers, showed a cold smile: "Even if you arrest all the people, soon, they will become five dead people!" ”
