Su Hong bent down deeper and replied with a bit of compassion in his tone: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I was worried that Your Majesty would have this misunderstanding, so I didn't remind Your Majesty specifically.
The old slave supports Dijiazhuang not for Lord Di, nor does he side with Lord Di, but for the poor people in Dijiazhuang.
Your Majesty, you also know that the old slave is also a miserable person. There is no filial piety in the front, no favor in the back, nothing left and right, no matter how much money you keep, it is useless. Why not just help them. "
Su Hong sometimes had to accept the money that came from others' filial piety. Even if you accept it, do nothing, or say anything, it doesn't matter.
Everyone just has a good relationship.
Even if Su Hong falls out, no one will think that he is a vicious dog.
But if you don't accept it, you will be resented for it.
So Su Hong accepted it.
I just save it, and when something big happens to the country, I quietly donate it in the name of others.
Later, through his sister's incident, Su Hong gave all the money he collected to his sister and asked her to help donate it to Dijiazhuang.
The Di family refused to accept it at first, until Di Ying was dismissed and returned home. After learning about it, they let them accept it generously.
Therefore, Di Ying also asked Eunuch Su to go to Dijiazhuang to dig some land and meet the people in Dijiazhuang.
This made Su Hong feel that the donation was extremely worthwhile.
Therefore, he now takes it as long as others give it to him.
Sometimes when others don't want to give it, he will ask for it in a roundabout way. Just like other eunuchs.
This makes his current reputation not very good.
Su Hong didn't care.
He is now very happy to take money from the pockets of those powerful people to help those who are really in need.
But your Majesty cannot know about this, otherwise...
Like now, His Majesty would be suspicious of him and question whether he had joined Di Ying.
It is taboo for anyone to have people around them siding with others.
After hearing Su Hong's reply, the old emperor sighed softly and said, "I don't blame you, you are also doing good things for me. That guy Di Ying... is really too poor."
Dijiazhuang takes in poor people, and the old emperor has known about this for a long time. And that guy Di Ying is so poor that he can't even support himself...
The old emperor didn't want to blame himself, so he changed the subject and said: "From now on, you can give it directly to Di Ying in my name."
Su Hong: "...Old slave, I obey."
Then, he straightened up, retreated outside the hall, and brought Xiao He in.
The old emperor glanced at Xiao He and saw that he was quite behaved, so he nodded in agreement.
After Xiao He was led by Su Hong's apprentice, Xiao Shizi, for training.
The old emperor spoke out again: "Wu Qiongsi, he is determined to destroy Di Ying. For this reason, he will not hesitate to frame you. So let him stop doing any real work. Get rid of his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and let him Let him be the unemployed Prince of Liang and Prime Minister of the Left. Let Zhang Jian take over the vacant position of Minister of Household Affairs."
Su Hong suddenly felt relieved and secretly happy in his heart.
He remembered Master Di's words: Instead of telling His Majesty directly, it would be better to let Your Majesty guess for himself.
In fact, Wu Qiongsi did not send less money... and he did not know this little secret between Su Hong and His Majesty...
But Di Ying knew.
How do you know?
Su Hong donated money to Dijiazhuang, and then... was tricked by Mr. Di...
Speaking of which, it’s all bitter tears.
Then……
Anyway, Wu Qiongsi couldn't possibly confront His Majesty about this matter. Hey hey hey.
…
Not to mention how aggrieved Wu Qiongsi felt when he was inexplicably removed from his actual position and became just an idle official.
Back to Di Ying, how busy he was with Wu Kaiji's case.
After the guards searched around and reported back the news, Di Ying fell into deep thought.
"Sir, I have not heard of any mysterious sects operating in the area. However, my subordinates have asked: There are quite a few men who are accustomed to walking around at night wearing black power fences.
Based on the descriptions of the people, we estimated the number: there were probably dozens of people.
They are tall, short, fat and thin, men, women, old and young. Among them: some people can talk to others, and some people can't. However, they all walked and did not ride in a carriage.
The subordinates and others carefully checked and found that among the dozens of people, there was no Wei Taihe. I don’t know…”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the adult slamming the table and getting up.
"It's broken, those people are going to die! Hurry, use your fastest speed to find those people..."
The guards paused.
Where to find this?
What they heard was just what they heard.
The common people who told them this news had only seen such people on the road. Who knows where those people live? Who are they?
After Di Ying finished speaking, he also reacted when he saw the expressions of the guards.
Then he said: "Inform the city defense soldiers immediately, and the whole city will be cordoned off, guarded, and searched. If anyone is found to be suspicious, he will be arrested and brought to the government office."
In addition: Search from house to house. As long as there is a suspicious or strange single male guest in the house, or if there is a black fence or strange objects in the house, bring them all back! "
This time, Di Ying wanted to alert the enemy.
The guards immediately took action.
However, they were still a step too late.
That night, fires broke out in more than forty places.
It caught everyone off guard.
The cause of the fire was: forty-seven people set themselves on fire.
One of them was a city defense soldier. While searching with his colleagues, he encountered kerosene. He suddenly picked it up, ran outside, poured it on himself, and then lit himself on fire in front of the other city defense soldiers.
The only good thing is that those people chose to spontaneously combust in an open place, and no innocent people were involved. Not even a blade of grass was involved.
Di Ying was so angry that she fell...
Not willing to give up.
He kicked the table leg hard.
Ignoring the pain, my mind was racing.
This is a provocation from the bad guys behind the scenes.
When he didn't pursue it, they lurked and continued to operate in secret. When their pursuit intensified, they adopted this behavior of cutting off clues and provoking Di Ying.
Di Ying wanted to say: Keep closing the city gates, keep searching, keep visiting. Because he believed that the people's eyes were sharp.
People who have the courage to self-immolate must also have weird words and deeds in daily life, and it is impossible for people around them to not notice it at all.
There must be some strange things in his home.
However, Di Ying changed his mind before the words were spoken.
This time, those people burned themselves. If the search is intensified, it is very likely that innocent people will be implicated next time.
When a fire breaks out, burning everything is an unbearable loss for the people.
Di Ying was unwilling to take such a risk.
A bad person has no scruples when doing bad things. He must have scruples.
However, all this also shows that the people who are controlling all this behind the scenes are panicking.
