"The sky in the south is going to be in chaos." Ji Wuyin murmured.
Xue Xu said nothing.
Xie Zhan's situation is over, just look at how the Chen family and Lu family will fight! The Chen family is like a crazy dog. If it catches the Lu family, it will bite them. But the Lu family is not a soft persimmon and will naturally fight back.
The other four major aristocratic families and the Ji family are still waiting and watching, holding their ground.
"What do you think would happen if Xie Zhan's conspiracy was told to the heads of the major families at this time?"
Xue Xu was confused, "Are you going to tell Chen Jiaye?"
Ji Wuyin choked and said angrily, "Can you say something nice?" Chen Jiaye was already dead, how could he tell her? He was looking forward to him dying.
Ji Wuyin explained, "What I mean is to tell the remaining family heads, such as the Gu family, the Liu family, and the Zhang family." The Zhu family no longer needs it.
"Why tell them?"
Tell them that Xue Xu doesn't think it's necessary.
Take the Chen family for example. Although Xie Zhan is hateful, the Chen family is not innocent either. The Chen family themselves led the wolf into the house and suffered backlash, so no one else can blame them.
Also, who knows whether the formation of these six aristocratic families was achieved with blood? Everything is just a matter of success and failure.
The most important thing is that Xie Zhan set up a trap to expose Zhu Jiasi's gold mining to the emperor. The emperor's eyes must have fallen on Nandi at this time.
On this trip, they just want to go with the trend, not against it. They don't want to attract the other party's attention and expose themselves.
Besides, they have no friendship with the six major families. Isn’t it normal to not want to take risks?
"Or do you think that if you tell them, the Southland will not be in chaos? Then you are wrong. Even if you tell them the truth now, the Southland will still be in chaos."
People's hearts are very dark. In the final analysis, interests are what move people's hearts.
"I'm just unhappy that Xie Zhan counted everyone in his calculations."
"Not everyone." Xue Xu emphasized.
Ji Wuyin: "Okay, okay, not everyone."
Xue Xu nodded, "There will be a day when the truth will be revealed."
It is Xie Zhan's purpose to break down and then establish, so that the Xie family can rise.
At the end of this mess, the situation will become clear, and the family that was plotted against should understand who is the culprit. If by that time, it is still unclear who is behind the scenes, then they deserve whatever fate they will end up with.
"But before that, don't mess around and ruin Mrs. Qin Liu's affairs."
Madam Six, she sent all her husbands to the Southland not to show their kindness.
Their purpose of coming here is very clear, they are here to catch fish and pick peaches. Waiting silently to pick up dead fish, and then safely evacuate, hiding your merit and fame.
At the same time, Zhu Changnian did not return home, but went to his brother Zhu Changning's home.
From Zhu Changning, he learned that with Zhu Changning's help, his son Zhu Congwen had indeed used two warehouses of grain as collateral and borrowed 200,000 taels from Ji's Bank, saying that he was going to make a big deal with a guaranteed profit.
Zhu Changnian completely lost his soul.
Zhu Changnian's appearance shocked Zhu Changning, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened? Don't scare me."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"My nephew said he wanted to give you a surprise."
"He fell into someone else's scheme."
"What?"
"There is a gold mine on Xiao Zhuya Island. They sold it to him on purpose. That little brat should be digging for gold now." Zhu Changnian showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Our Zhu family is finished."
Zhu Changning took a breath, and his expression changed when he thought that his nephew had sent a group of people who were good at digging.
"Brother, who told you this? Is there a mistake?"
"This is what Xue Guangxian told me."
"Are you sure it's true? Otherwise, we have someone call Cong Wen back and ask him clearly?"
"It's okay to have people go to Xiaozhuya Island for verification, but we can't waste time and wait quietly for the results. We shouldn't take chances at this time." Zhu Changnian looked at him deeply and said, "You must know that gambling If we lose, it will be a major event that will destroy the entire clan." Our new emperor has a criminal record.
Zhu Changning's heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, if we take the initiative to hand over the gold mine, the two hundred thousand taels will be wasted!"
Zhu Changnian shook his head, "It's too late. Xue Guangxian said that the imperial envoy had already set off from Chang'an a few days ago."
To the emperor, these aristocratic families are like fattened pigs waiting to be slaughtered. Now that they have grasped the handle, they can grab the grass and beat the rabbits, and there is no reason to let them go.
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
Besides, if they set up such a trap, they would not let the Zhu family escape easily.
"Then what should we do?"
"Be prepared for the worst." If he were the emperor, after hunting rabbits, he would definitely want to eradicate the weeds.
Zhu Changning understood that the worst-case scenario was to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan.
"Brother, why is this happening?" Zhu Changning burst into tears. No one is not afraid of death. What's more, the Zhu family didn't do anything wrong, yet they encountered this disaster of genocide inexplicably!
If you prepare for the worst, you must leave a trace of blood for the Zhu family.
"Brother, who is behind the scenes? Chen Jiaye of the Chen family?" Xiaozhuya Island is originally the territory of the Chen family, and it is normal for them to know that there are gold mines in it.
But Chen Jiaye is dead, who should they seek revenge from?
"I was too shocked at the time and didn't ask. But since Xue Xu said that your nephew was plotted against, it can be inferred that even if Chen Jiaye is not the mastermind, he must be aware of it, and the Chen family is not innocent."
"Brother, since Xiao Zhuya Island was sold to us by the Chen family, can't we drag the Chen family into trouble?" They reported the Zhu family's gold mine. Why couldn't they accuse the Zhu family of doing it first? Would the emperor mind killing one more pig?
Zhu Changnian pondered, yes, why not? Even if the Zhu family were to die, they would still have someone to support them!
He explained, "Okay, let's go separate ways. You go and select some of the Zhu family's heirs, and I'll have people send them away, so that our Zhu family's bloodline will not be cut off."
It’s said to be a choice, but in fact there isn’t much to choose from. Those who were listed in the family tree have basically disappeared.
"If you can give away those who are not in the family tree, especially the little-known illegitimate children."
Zhu Changnian nodded with red eyes.
"That's it, I'll leave this matter to you. These people will be sent away overnight tonight. I have to see someone now."
"Brother, are you going to see Xue Guangxian?"
"Um."
Zhu Changning hesitated and said, "Did Xue Guangxian tell us this specifically for some reason?"
"I know he has an agenda. Or do you think that the huge assets of our Zhu family have benefited the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"In no mood."
