A room in the government office was taken down by Fu Yin and Sun Xing, and the assassination attempt on Su Qi'an came to an end.
Fu Yin and Sun Xing were escorted down, leaving only Su Qi'an and Sun Wen in the room.
Sun Wen's eyes flashed, he sighed again, and said solemnly to Su Qi'an.
"Uncle Su, considering that you and I have been on the battlefield, I still have to remind you to be careful of Duke Zhao."
Su Qi'an frowned. Of course he knew that if Fu Yin dared to take action against him, there must be a certain Duke behind him.
This Zhao Guogong has a good background. He is a veteran of three dynasties. Whether it is seniority, prestige or power, there are not more than a handful of people in the government and the public who can compete with him.
Even the nobles of the royal family had to respect Uncle Zhao when they saw him.
Su Qian asked, "It seems that Duke Zhao has no conflict with him. Why would he kill me?"
"Uncle Su, do you remember Zhao Ang? He is the grandson of Zhao Guogong."
Listening to what Sun Wen said, Su Qi'an understood it all at once, and he said tentatively.
"Could it be that I am responsible for the death of Zhao Ang?"
Sun Wen nodded, "Yes, Uncle Su, don't you know? After the border battle, you did not come to Kyoto, but went back. However, there was a lot of controversy about you in the court."
"First there was a huge quarrel over your ennoblement, but in the end it was His Majesty who made the decision himself and stopped this farce."
Su Qi'an knew this, so he did not interrupt Sun Wen and signaled him to continue.
"Not long afterward, I don't know who spread the news that Zhao Ang's death was related to you. In addition, you returned directly to Xizhou, which further confirmed your guilty conscience."
"Although there is no evidence for this, Duke Zhao cannot attack you openly, but privately, he has already said that once you come to Kyoto, he will kill you no matter what."
Listening to what Sun Wen said, Su Qi'an was also a little helpless. It was true that if a person was sitting at home, disaster would come from the sky.
For someone who could deliberately disrupt and frame someone up like this, Su Qi'an thought of a person, Zheng Liang.
You must know that Su Qi'an witnessed Zhao Ang's death at the beginning. Thinking about it now, this Zheng Liang still doesn't give up on him.
To actually come up with such a trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone, this is really a great move.
For this malicious frame-up, Su Qi'an could not go to Zhao Guogong to explain, considering Zheng Liang's identity, he was also a national celebrity.
The power of Zheng Guogong in the court is not weaker than that of Zhao Guogong. Zheng Liang dares to make this move, which shows that he is very sure to make Zhao Guogong trust him. .
No matter what Su Qi'an said, Zhao Guogong would not believe it. The current plan was to find a way to see if there was a chance to make a pilgrimage in person.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and Sun Wen beside him thought that Su Qi'an wanted to confront Zhao Guogong, so he quickly dissuaded him.
"Uncle Su, I would like to advise you. When facing Zhao Guogong, you must not act rashly. Everything must be considered over the long term and there must be no rush."
Su Qi'an was a little surprised by Sun Wen's persuasion. He asked, "After tonight, the Sun family may be seriously injured. Don't you hate me if I treat the Sun family like this?"
"It stands to reason that a confrontation between me and Mr. Zhao Guozheng is what you want to see most. This should also be the thinking of other young masters from aristocratic families."
Sun Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, the Sun family's vitality has been greatly damaged. I should hate you, but I know better that even without you, once my Sun family gets on the boat of Zhao Guogong, I am afraid that they will be destined to become pawns. .”
"Actually, I have to thank you. If you hadn't come here tonight, I'm afraid I would have fallen into a lost situation like my uncle and my second brother."
"If you put your family's future in the hands of others, the consequences will be miserable. After this incident, I just hope that Uncle Su can be noble and let the Sun family go."
"The Sun family promises that from now on, they will never interfere in anything related to Uncle Su, and they can even withdraw from Kyoto."
Sun Wen's words made Su Qian have a high opinion of this noble prince for the first time. "
Be able to recognize that if you don’t say anything, even if you don’t say it,
He is willing to cut off his arms to survive in order to risk the family's future. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary young men from aristocratic families can possess.
Su Qi'an said softly, "Sun Hou, just based on what you just said, the conflict between you and me has been wiped out. If the Sun family can ruthlessly scrape the bones inward and remove some rubbish, I guarantee that the Sun family in the future will not be destroyed." , but Nirvana and rebirth.”
Sun Wen was startled, and he raised his head sharply, but in front of him, there was no Su Qi'an, only a retreating figure was left.
What Su Qian said was a very strong hint, and it had even pointed a direction for the Sun family.
If the Sun family wants to rise in the future, it depends on whether Sun Wen is brave enough to be so cruel.
Sun Wen's eyes flashed, his hands clenched, his face changed, he was struggling and hesitating, but finally, as Sun Wen punched the table hard, Sun Wen finally made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll bet on you this time, Uncle Su. I also want to see how you stir up trouble during this trip to Kyoto."
At this time, Su Qian walked out of the gate of the government office and stood at the door of the government office. He raised his head and glanced at the two red lanterns. He knew that tomorrow morning, the government office would probably be replaced.
Su Qi'an waved his hand and signaled Su Yong and others to leave. He had done what he should do, and it was up to Sun Wen to see what he would do next.
Su Qi'an got on the carriage, which slowly left. Next to him, Su Yong's voice sounded, "Sir, what should we do with the people following us?"
"Let them go. It will be difficult to convince them now. Let's wait until tomorrow. I don't think we need to take action. They know how to choose."
"My subordinate understands."
The carriage drove away and soon returned to the villa where he lived. As soon as Su Qian got off the carriage, he turned his head and asked the maid he had brought.
"By the way, what's your name?"
When asked by Su Qi'an, the maid's face was startled, and then she quickly reacted and said hurriedly.
"Go back to Master, my name is Liu Meng."
"Liu Meng, please give me a good name. Starting tomorrow, you will take those maids and be responsible for the health of this courtyard."
Liu Meng nodded repeatedly, with a hint of joy on his face.
This is the day she has been waiting for. Regardless of the work she is responsible for, it is no different from before, but Su Qian's attitude towards her is completely different from that of the Sun family.
She is no longer a so-called slave, but is regarded as a real person by Su Qi'an.
And she believed that as long as she worked hard, Su Qi'an would definitely give her more important tasks.
"From now on, I will be the master." Liu Meng secretly swore in his heart.
Su Qi'an stepped into the other courtyard. At this time, in the small courtyard, a maidservant had been waiting in the small courtyard for a long time.
After the crowd was dispersed, only the maid, Su Qi'an, and Su Yong were left in the small courtyard.
This maid was none other than Captain Xu's sister. Su Qi'an had already led Su Yong and a group of new troops to the government office to solve the problem.
Regarding Captain Xu, Su Qi'an entrusted other New Army soldiers to inform them one by one.
Su Qi'an's judgment was correct. This maid was the sister Xu Xiaowei had asked Su Qi'an to look for before he died.
After the original border war, Su Qi'an always kept Lao Xu's wish in mind.
There was a reason why he didn't look for it right away. At that time, even though he was granted the title of uncle, he still hadn't settled one or three-thirds of his family's land.
If you head to Kyoto rashly, you may be killed by a small Kyoto family like the Sun family as soon as you arrive.
Because, for more than a year, Su Qi'an had been accumulating strength in Xizhou. It was not until he was able to leave Xizhou that he decided to go to Kyoto.
God had opened his eyes, and Su Qi'an met Xu Xiaowei's sister as soon as he came to Kyoto.
Finding Xu Tangtang can be regarded as comforting Xu Xiaowei's spirit in heaven.
Seeing Su Qi'an approaching, Xu Tangtang knelt down and bowed to Su Qi'an.
"Thank you sir for your help. Although I don't know who your sir is, Xiaotang must respect someone who can make my brother trust him."
"From now on, little
Tangtang belongs to Mr. Tang. Xiaotang will do whatever Mr. tells Xiaotang to do. Even if he goes to death, Xiaotang will never have second thoughts. "
After helping Xu Tangtang up, Su Qian shook her head repeatedly, perhaps because she was sold to the Sun family as a maid.
She has experienced too much warmth and ups and downs in human relationships. Although she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, Xu Tangtang does not have the innocence of a child at all.
He spoke like an adult.
Seeing Xu Tangtang showing her loyalty, Su Qi'an felt quite sad.
What did a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old child go through to become like this?
"Okay, Xiaotang, it doesn't need to be so serious. Lao Xu is not only my subordinate, but also my brother. If you don't mind, you can call me brother. From now on, as long as I am around, you will never let him Anyone bullies you."
Su Qi'an's words made Xu Tangtang stay in place in a daze.
Her heart was beating rapidly, but her eyes were red. Although she was holding back, looking at Su Qi'an's warm smile, she couldn't hold it back after all.
With a cry of wow, she burst into tears, hugged Su Qi'an, and buried her head in her chest.
Su Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief at Xu Tangtang's appearance. This was Xu Tangtang's true appearance.
Children, after all, must have the innocence of a child. If you blindly pretend to be an adult, it will be bad for your psychology.
Su Qianqian is such an example. If she hadn't met Su Qian and Qin Ziyin and corrected her, I'm afraid Su Qianqian would have followed Xu Tangtang's path of suffering.
Xu Tangtang cried for a long time, which was also a kind of emotional catharsis. Su Qi'an comforted her, and it took about an hour before everyone gradually fell asleep.
The morning of the second day came quickly, when the sky was bright and the streets of Kyoto began to be noisy as usual.
Suddenly, a piece of news swept through the ten streets of Kyoto like the wind.
The content of the message is very simple, only one paragraph.
Sun Fuyin and Sun Xing, relying on their official background, ran rampant in Kyoto, causing complaints among the people of Kyoto. The Sun family could not bear it and killed their relatives out of righteousness. They captured and escorted them, and asked the court to punish them severely in accordance with the law to vent their anger. Public outrage.
