"I'm afraid your Su family won't be able to pass this level. A calm, powerful voice came in.

"Who dares to say such a big thing?" The jade ball in Su Wen's hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked towards the door of the council hall.

A swarthy and tall young man strode into the meeting hall of the Su family with his head held high, wearing a dark guard uniform embroidered with a majestic white tiger, with his solemn eyes and a slightly smiling face, this kind of demeanor even the ghost face that followed was secretly admired.

"Lord Ghost Face, the twelve hour deadline has not yet arrived, why are you here again?" Gong Rufeng recognized the ghost face behind the swarthy young man, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"That's not what I meant. Ghost Face shook his head, and stretched out his hand to the young man beside him: "This is Ye Hu, the guard of the White Tiger Courtyard of Jingwei Mansion, if you have anything to ask, just ask him?"

"Oh, is that Ye Hu who was disturbed by a rat and lost face?" Su Zhu got up and punched Ye Hu: "I want to see what you have to dare to come to the Su family to spread wild." ”

Ye Hu didn't even move his body, and just as his fist was about to touch his left cheek, his right palm came back and pinched Su Zhu's fist.

"Hmph! A businessman should pay attention to harmony and make money, where is he so angry?" Su Zhu only felt that every bone in his fist was "gurgling", and he was about to be crushed at any time.

"Guard Ye, please calm your anger. Seeing this, Su Wen hurriedly stood up and played a round game: "Brother She's words are not true, Wen is here to make amends." ”

"It's still the generosity of being a brother, and this is a reparation for Ye Mou. The corners of Ye Hu's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, and he let go of Su Zhu: "Lord's order, from now on, the Su Mansion will be jointly managed by the Jingwei Mansion and the Tingwei Mansion; ”

"We will obey Your Commandment. Everyone in the Su family bowed their heads in thanks.

In the Nanyuan study, Li Chongde, the head of the household, was talking endlessly in front of Xiao Shiyu's imperial case: "Your Majesty, this time the Su family has always been rich and unkind, and this mutiny also has the reason why they deducted people; ”

"Li Shangshu, you can't say that. Liu Yuanzhi, who was given a seat on the side, smiled at Li Chongde: "Although some dirty silver and fake tax cards were found from the secret room of the Su family's providence gambling house, it cannot be directly determined that the fake tax collector was instructed by the Su family." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the minister who found out that the Su family's people have all the suspicious deposits in Sanshun Qianzhuang and their own Guangyuan Qianzhuang, please take a look at your majesty. Sharpa respectfully presented a copy of the book with both hands.

"Yun 13 and Leng Fengtian each deposited 2,000 taels of silver in Sanshun Qianzhuang, Li Rat deposited 1,000 taels of silver in Yanran's account, and Zuo Tianhao deposited 5,000 taels of silver in Guangyuan Qianzhuang. Xiao Shiyu looked at the fold: "Tell me in detail, where are these people suspicious?"

"This Yun 13 and Leng Fengtian are the stewards of the Su family's Providence Gambling House, and Li Rat has already confessed that Su Xing gave him two silver taels; as for this Zuo Tianhao, he is a stranger and no one knows him; it is very suspicious to suddenly deposit so much silver in this Guangyuan Money Village recently. Sharpa prayed.

"The money bank and the casino are places where dirty silver can be laundered, although the household department has ordered all the money banks to deposit large amounts of silver in the near future are allowed to enter and not to leave, but the night is long and dreamy, and His Majesty ordered the Su family to be sealed up to recover the tax silver. At this moment, Li Chongde and the previous submissive appearance are like two people.

"Liu Zhongshu, what do you think?" Xiao Shiyu turned his head and asked Liu Yuanzhi's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not know much about this matter, and he has only raised a little doubt of his own. Liu Yuanzhi smiled and said: "How to adjudicate is still subject to Your Majesty's decision." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shiyu lay on the imperial case with his left palm, holding a cinnabar pen in his right hand, wanting to write something but couldn't put down the pen for a long time, it was obviously difficult to choose.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to seal up the Su family now. There was a hurried cry from outside the study, attracting the eyes of everyone in the room to look towards the entrance of the study.

Zhang Shumin couldn't wait for the report, and directly lifted his official robe and stepped into Xiao Shiyu's study: "Minister Zhang Shumin knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

"Flat. Xiao Shiyu saw Zhang Shumin's face with joy: "Shumin, tell me your reason, why can't the Su family be sealed?"

"Although the Su family is ranked at the bottom of the four major families, it is also the family of Shang who was sealed by the first emperor. Zhang Shumin straightened out the official robe that was messed up because he ran too quickly, and straightened the official hat: "What Master Fang Cai Sha said is just corroboration, the fake tax collector has not been caught, and Su Xing himself has not been found, at this time, we can monitor and control the Su family, but we can't make such a big move to seal it." ”

"Lord Si Nong's words are wrong, if all the evidence is conclusive, I am afraid that these tax money that was defrauded would have been transported out of this Jinling City a long time ago. Sharpa put forward a different recital: "Besides, this Su Xing has been missing for nearly six hours, I am afraid that it was done deliberately." ”

"You all stand down, Rong Zhen thinks about it. Xiao Shiyu couldn't make a choice for a while: "Two hours later, I will make a clear decree." ”

"The ministers retired. All the officials withdrew from the Nanyuan study.

"I'm a little tired, a little bit. Xiao Shiyu instructed Gao Xian: "No one is allowed to disturb within two hours." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty. Gao Xian replied respectfully.

Xiao Shiyu slowly walked from the back of the study into the bedroom of the Noji Palace, and a dark shadow knelt in front of him: "Kui Niu has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Kui Niu, how is the situation at the city gates these days?" Xiao Shiyu lit the oil lamp and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Your Majesty's will, all city gates are guarded by secret guards, and nothing unusual has been found. Kui Niu knelt down on one knee and bowed to Xiao Shiyu.

"That's fine. Xiao Shiyu sighed: "I am in charge of a big country, and sometimes I really feel tired. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to take care of the dragon's body, don't hurt your mind too much. Kui Niu said: "The minister must do his best to guard the city gate." ”

"Kui Niu, I am undecided on whether to seize the Su family. Xiao Shiyu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what your opinion is?"

"The minister is just His Majesty's bodyguard, and he doesn't understand these national affairs. Kui Niu also shook his head.

"yes, I'm confused, so I shouldn't have asked you. Xiao Shiyu smiled bitterly.

"But。。。。。。 "Kui Niu seems to have remembered something.

"But what?" Xiao Shiyu asked again.

"At four o'clock yesterday, the minister was secretly on duty at the east gate of Jinling, but was attacked by a man in black. Kui Niu truthfully told Xiao Shiyu.

"Oh, I know your skills, who dares to take the initiative to attack you?" Xiao Shiyu couldn't help but be curious.

At four o'clock yesterday, on the roof of a private house facing the east gate of Jinling, a secret guard dressed in black was standing motionless here.

"It's shift time, go and rest. Kui Niu lightly jumped onto the roof and patted the concentrated black-clothed secret guard.

"Yes, sir. The black-clothed secret guard listened to Kui Niu's instructions, and he didn't say anything, and as soon as he jumped down, a few ups and downs disappeared into the vast night.

Like the secret guard just now, Kui Niu leaned motionlessly on the roof and stared at the city gate, repeating the boring task.

"Huh?" Kui Niu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and a black shadow attacked his face door from below, and Kui Niu's arm that was crouched on the roof made a slight effort, and the whole person bounced up, avoiding the sudden attack of the black shadow.

The black shadow grabbed the eaves with one hand, and the whole person jumped up, and threw his hands sharply in mid-air, and more than a dozen silver needles shot at Kui Niu like raindrops.

"What a powerful secret weapon. Kui Niu didn't think about it in a hurry, the surface of his body glowed with green light, and the shining light could only hear the sound of "whoosh", and these blue lights made his body suddenly double the speed of the original. He touched the ground with one foot, swaying from side to side like a tumbler, avoiding all the flying needles.

"What a Qingdian Drought and Thunder Body Method, I didn't expect your soft skills to be so powerful. The black shadow was five feet away from Kui Niu, and suddenly stopped chasing him, just looking at him quietly.

"Is that hidden weapon a silver needle flying over?" Kui Niu frowned: "You came out of there?"

"It doesn't matter where you come from?" the dark shadow smiled, "The important thing is that even if you guard the city gate every day, you can't share the worries of your master?"

"I'm a martial artist, I can't understand these twists and turns?" Kui Niu also faced the black shadow: "If you have anything to say, you just say it?"

"If you don't understand, don't listen. The black shadow took out a letter from his bosom and threw it gently, and then it fell firmly into Kui Niu's palm: "Go back and show it to your master, he will understand." ”

"Your Majesty, that's how it happened. Kui Niu took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Shiyu: "If it weren't for the matter of the Su family, Kui Niu would still be hesitant to hand over the letter to Your Majesty." ”

"Since you have a letter, why not take a look?" Xiao Shiyu said with a smile while opening the envelope: "I'm very curious, if you continue to compete, who will lose?"

"It's hard to say, the minister didn't use all his strength, and the other party kept his hand. Kui Niu said truthfully: "But the minister has a hunch that if he really continues to fight, he won't be able to get any bargain." ”

"Although the Su family can solve the urgent need, it is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, is your Majesty's ambition limited to this?" Xiao Shiyu looked at the letter over and over again, but there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment in his heart.

"Your Majesty, why don't you speak?" Kui Niu looked at Xiao Shiyu in a daze, and couldn't help but worry.

"Kui Niu, you have done this well, I already have an idea in my heart. Xiao Shiyu took the letter and walked to the oil lamp and burned it: "Remove all the secret guards guarding the city gate." ”

Two hours passed quickly, and Xiao Shiyu's holy decree was quickly sent to the Su family: "Your Majesty has a decree to seize all the properties under the Su family's name except for the Infernal Music Fang and the Shanshui Inn, and fine 100,000 taels of silver, Qin this!"

"The grass people are waiting for the lord Longen!" After Su Wen, Su Zhu and the others received the holy decree, their faces were like ashes, and their hearts were dripping blood.

"Guard Ye, the rest of the matter will be handled by you and the Tingwei Mansion. Gao Xian shook off the dust and turned away.

"Yes! Gao Gonggong!" Ye Hu made a series to Gao Xian: "Come here, carry out the holy will, and notify all the guards to seal it." ”
