If Su Yu had said at first that he wanted to protect his two sons' prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives, it would have been impossible for him to believe it. But if Su Yu said that, he would have to consider what he had done in these years. The dynasty was also a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. The other party actually said that he could take his two sons away and live incognito in the future, but Chang Wei knew the temperament of his two sons best.
"Master Chang, you have to think about it. The Emperor has been keeping an eye on this case, and Dali Temple has been investigating it. If we find out before you speak, the information you tell us will be of no use to us. At that time, the conditions I just mentioned will not count."
Ding Yan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but admire Su Yu. The little girl didn't know where she learned all these tricks. She felt that if he were Chang Wei, he would be a little tempted.
"Master Chang can also rest assured in terms of safety. Before the case is solved, I will ask Mr. Ding to send someone to protect the safety of your two sons, or it is not impossible to bring them to Dali Temple."
Chang Wei, who was hesitating at first, felt reassured by Su Yu's words.
"If it is as Miss Su said, I will tell you who instigated me to do this, but can I believe what Miss Su says?"
Su Yu was not needed this time. Ding Yan, who was sitting next to him, immediately took over the conversation.
"You can rest assured, I guarantee with my official position that what Miss Su says will be counted as what I said."
"Okay, but I want to see my two sons first."
"Okay, take it down."
Su Yu shouted towards the door, and two government officials came in and took Chang Wei down.
Ding Yan went to order people to go to Chang Wei's hometown and bring his two sons over. As for the other members of the Chang family, Su Yu didn't tell Chang Wei or ask for anything just now. He was lucky to be able to withstand the pressure and save the lives of his two sons. Chang Wei did not dare to expect to save the lives of his parents, wife, brother and family.
When he found out that something was wrong in Chang Wei's hometown, Ding Yan sent someone to guard him in the dark. However, after the people who went to pick up his two sons returned to Dali Temple, Ding Yan learned that someone had set fire to the Chang family and wanted to kill the whole family. If it weren't for the people from Dali Temple guarding in the dark, this whole family would have been dead a long time ago. Ding Yan was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he had left manpower, otherwise Chang Wei's two sons would have died, and it would be difficult to pry them off again. Open his mouth.
What happened next was much simpler. After seeing his two sons explain themselves, Chang Wei revealed the person behind the scenes.
The person who instigated Chang Wei was a streetwalker from Dongjie named Zhou Jin. He was in his twenties and usually idled around without any serious occupation. However, people from Dali Temple found out that his mother-in-law was working as an errand at the Prime Minister's House. , and was still the confidant of the Prime Minister’s wife, but the nanny had disappeared the day before the people from Dali Temple found the nanny. The servants of the Prime Minister’s Mansion put the body in a thin-skinned coffin, took it out from the backyard and threw it in a mass grave. . According to people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had an emergency, and he left within two days.
However, various signs made Ding Yan and Su Yu suspect that the case was closely related to the Prime Minister's Mansion. With the direction, it would be much easier to investigate. The people in Dali Temple did not live in vain. There were so many women. If it was really someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion who did it, it would be impossible not to reveal the slightest trace. They were soon traced to the head of the nursing home of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this person usually obeyed the Prime Minister's orders.
It was a big deal that it involved the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ding Yan had to report to the Emperor. When the Emperor heard that it was related to the Prime Minister, his eyes felt dark. He asked himself that he had never done anything wrong to Cao Yuan in these years. Cao Yuan's family fell into decline in his early years. When he passed the imperial examination, Emperor Anqing was still only the second prince. At that time, Cao Yuan came to surrender. He felt that Cao Yuan could be of great use, so he promoted him step by step. Even after he became emperor, It took ten years to elevate Cao Yuan to the position of prime minister. I never expected that one of the people he trusted the most would actually collude with people from Nanyang Kingdom.
The emperor simply waved his hand and directly asked people from Dali Temple to seal the Prime Minister's Mansion. The female family members were locked up in the mansion, and all the men were imprisoned.
When Ding Yan told Su Yu that the Prime Minister had already recruited them all and that he was responsible for all these things, Su Yu was in a daze. Was it too easy to investigate this case? But even the Prime Minister himself had been recruited. She also thought If it doesn't come out, what's the problem?
After Prime Minister Cao was recruited, the rest of the matter became much easier to handle. From the details he explained, many secret passages were found, and these were all correct. All the men above the wheel of the Cao family were beheaded, and the remaining younger men were sent to the border. The women rushed into the Jiaofang Division. For some older women, the emperor left them a dignity, and gave each of them a white stick. Aya ended their lives.
When the case was announced to the world, the people in Kyoto City couldn't believe it, because Prime Minister Cao's official reputation was relatively good among the officials in Kyoto City. Unexpectedly, he knew people, knew faces, but didn't know people's hearts. It's something worse than a beast.
On the way to the Meridian Gate to behead the men of the Cao family, I don’t know how many rotten vegetables and rotten eggs were thrown at them by the people. Su Yu and Yu Zheng were sitting in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, watching the prison cars passing below. Until now, Su Yu Only then did he see the youngest prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty. Although he was dirty, he was estimated to be in his thirties. His promising future was ruined in his own hands. Su Yu also guessed at this moment. No matter what, what is he trying to do?
The reason given by Prime Minister Cao was that he was short of money and said that his family was not suitable for business, so he decided to abduct and traffic women. Although women in the Zhou Dynasty were not worth much, they could be sold to Nanyang Kingdom. A woman with average looks can be sold for a high price of thousands of taels, and a good-looking woman can be sold for even more. This is almost a costless business.
The Nanyang Kingdom doesn’t know the reason. Most of the babies born are boys. If a family gives birth to a girl, it must be treated as a treasure. Therefore, the people of the Nanyang Kingdom prefer to buy girls from other countries to do business in their own country, especially Women from the Zhou Dynasty were particularly popular. They were doing serious business and the prices were high. Even though the case was solved, it was impossible for the women sold to Nanyang to come back. According to Prime Minister Cao, he has sold at least tens of thousands of women to Nanyang Kingdom in the past few years. It was because of the lack of women in the past two years that he decided to move to Kyoto City.
It stands to reason that the Cao family has a lot of money, but the silver that Jinyiwei ransacked from the house did not add up to more than one hundred thousand taels. Prime Minister Cao did not explain clearly where the money went until his death.
It was already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year when the matter was resolved. Su Yu planned to go back today, and his parents at home should be anxious.
"I'll take you back."
