After Su Xiuning entered the room, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan left with interest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For a while, only Su Changyi and Su Xiuning's father and daughter were left in the room.

"Daddy......" Su Xiuning walked quickly in front of Su Changyi, with both worry and concern in his expression, and was about to say something.

However, before Su Xiuning could speak, Su Changyi had already preemptively said: "Ning'er, time is running out, don't talk yet, listen to Daddy and I." ”

Su Changyi's eyes were firmly fixed on Su Xiuning in front of him, and his tone was eager: "Ning'er, Daddy is now in a catastrophe, and the Su family is about to collapse completely, Daddy is self-inflicted and has nothing to say, only pity your brothers and nephews, they have been implicated by Daddy, even if they have escaped this catastrophe, but as the family of a criminal official, they will neither be able to take the imperial examination nor do business in the future, even if they are farming, they will definitely be infamous and bullied, and our family's property has all been confiscated by the imperial court, and they will not be able to make a living in the future. I'm afraid I'll have to live on the streets, and I'll be cold and hungry from now on, and I don't know how long I can last......"

Speaking of this, Su Changyi's face was already full of sadness and tears.

Hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning also looked sad, but she didn't know how she should comfort her father, and she couldn't think of any solution - she was just a lady who didn't go out of the door, if she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if she was strained, she could only be helpless.

Then, Su Changyi wiped his tears, his eyes stared at Su Xiuning's beautiful face again, and said, "So, Ning'er, now only you can save the Su family!" ”

"Me?"

After hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning was a little dazed.

Su Changyi nodded and said: "At the beginning, my father asked you to take the initiative to approach Zhao Junchen, the head of the household department, because he expected today's crisis and wanted you to become Zhao Junchen's wife, so that we can survive today's calamity with the support of Zhao Junchen in the center of the imperial court...... But Daddy also knows that Zhao Junchen is not a good match for you, and you have never taken the initiative to please men, and this matter is indeed Daddy's embarrassment to you. In the end, Zhao Junchen did not choose you as his wife, and our family also suffered today's disaster, but Daddy doesn't blame you, after all, Daddy is sorry for you......"

Although Su Changning said that he didn't blame Su Xiuning, after hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning still couldn't help feeling guilty, and only felt that he was still too reserved when he first contacted Zhao Junchen, and failed to do his best to save the Su family.

After seeing Su Xiuning's expression change, a trace of guilt flashed in Su Changyi's eyes again, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke again: "However, for the sake of your brothers and nephews, and for the future of our Su family, Daddy still wants to beg you again...... Ning'er, don't blame your father, your father is also forced to do so! …… Gu Quan, the right and royal history, is Zhao Junchen's cronies, and he deliberately took care of you today, obviously because of Zhao Junchen's intentions, it seems that Zhao Junchen still has a good impression of you, so ......"

Speaking of this, Su Changyi seemed to be a little unbearable to speak, but he still gritted his teeth and continued: "So, when the matter here is over, you will go to the capital immediately, take the initiative to approach Zhao Junchen again, and you will definitely find a way to enter the Zhao Mansion, please Zhao Junchen, and become Zhao Junchen's woman!" Now that my father has lost power, I can't support you, and Zhao Junchen is respected and powerful, I'm afraid he won't marry you as his wife...... But、But even if it's just to become Zhao Junchen's concubine, you have to do your best! As long as you please Zhao Junchen and get Zhao Junchen's favor, then Zhao Junchen will help our Su family, so that your brothers and nephews will not be left on the streets and have nothing to rely on, maybe our Su family will have the possibility of turning over again! ”

Hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning looked at his father in front of him in a daze, as if he didn't know the person in front of him at all.

Is the person in front of her still the father who dotes on her and cares for her?

At the beginning, Su Changyi begged Su Xiuning to abandon his reserve and happiness, and take the initiative to approach and curry favor with Zhao Junchen, but after all, in order to seek the position of the Zhao family's wife, Su Xiuning would not be wronged too much after marrying into the Zhao Mansion.

But now, Su Changyi is actually begging Su Xiuning to abandon his dignity and pride again, and try his best to enter Zhao Junchen's mansion, all just to become Zhao Junchen's woman, even if it is to become a lowly concubine?

Obviously, Su Changyi was already planning to sacrifice everything for Su Xiuning for the sake of the future of the Su family.

Su Xiuning has grown up in all kinds of care since she was a child, everything is smooth, she has never encountered too many setbacks and grievances, and now she is letting her find a way to become a concubine of a corrupt official, and she will no longer have any dignity and status, and will be called and scolded at will, such a gap is really too big.

Therefore, although Su Xiuning also wanted to do something for the Su family, it was still difficult to accept Su Changyi's request.

But seeing Su Changjian's pleading appearance, and then thinking of his brothers and nephews, although Su Xiuning's heart was extremely resistant, it was difficult to refuse after all, so he just turned his head slightly, avoided Su Changjian's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, my daughter has tried her best to please Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen seems to be very polite to her daughter, but there is always a sense of alienation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my daughter to do this......"

Seeing that Su Xiuning did not refuse directly, Su Changyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said again: "My good daughter, as long as you are willing!" Today's situation is very different from the beginning, when Zhao Junchen was choosing a wife, he was naturally extremely cautious, but if it was just a concubine, Zhao Junchen would not be so cautious, with your daughter's talent, as long as you take the initiative to cater to it, no man in the world can refuse, and it must be easy to get Zhao Junchen's favor. ”

However, thinking of Su Xiuning's conservative and reserved temperament, Su Changyi was still a little uneasy after all, and said: "Also, before you go to the capital, go to Gezi Lane in the south of Suzhou City, where there is a house, which is an estate secretly placed by Daddy, and there is a woman in the mansion, named Xiang Yu, who is a ...... of Daddy Outer chambers. This Xiang Yu was originally born in Qinglou, and was redeemed by her father a few years ago, but due to the law and discipline of the imperial court, it was inconvenient for her father to enter the house, so she was raised outside, and you can call her an aunt after you see her...... She is quite good at some foxes, and her father has also left her a sum of money, she has always been loyal to her father, you can take her to the capital, learn from her some ways to cater to men, and you can also ask her for her opinion on many things......"

After hearing Su Changyi's explanation, Su Xiuning knew that Su Changzhen was actually cultivating the outer room in private, and even visited the Qinglou......

was originally a flawless father figure, but at this moment it became more and more dilapidated.

She looked at her father in front of her in a daze, a little unsure of how she should look at this person, and she didn't know whether she should agree to this person's bitter pleading.

After Su Changyi saw Su Xiuning's expression, he smiled bitterly and said: "Daddy knows, Daddy's decisions are really sorry for you, if things hadn't developed to this point, Daddy really didn't want to do this, Ning'er, you resent Daddy or despise Daddy, but all this is for the entire Su family!" Ning'er, can you really bear to see those brothers and nephews of yours living on the streets, even reduced to pariahs, never turning over? ”

After speaking, seeing that Su Xiuning's expression was still hesitating, Su Changyi "pounced" and knelt in front of Su Xiuning, with a crying voice, and said sadly: "Ning'er, even if it is Daddy begging you!" ”

*

Half an hour later, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan came to Su Changyi's room again.

In the room, Su Changyi was holding Su Xiuning's hand, his old face was full of pleading, not at all like a father, while Su Xiuning was wiping her tears, her expression was full of contradictions and embarrassment.

After seeing Huang Yourong and Gu Quan appear, Su Changyi's expression became more and more anxious and sad, and he stared at Su Xiuning tightly, and after Su Xiuning hesitated for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "My daughter promised her father." ”

Then, Su Xiuning pulled out his hands and turned around and left directly, never looking back at Su Changyi again.

Su Changyi looked at Su Xiuning's back in a daze, his expression was extremely complicated, he seemed to be a little guilty, seemed to be a little sad, and seemed to be a little relaxed.

Huang Yourong is also a person who has experienced many ups and downs, and he is used to seeing the sophistication of people and the world, and now after seeing this scene, where can he not guess what happened between Su Changyi and Su Xiuning?

For a while, even if he was selfish and cold, he inevitably sighed with emotion in his heart.

So, Huang Yourong walked up to Su Changyi, patted Su Changyi's shoulder, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" If Master Su hadn't been corrupt and bribed all these years, he wouldn't have to sacrifice his daughter's life now. You first made her carefree and carefree, and now you have pushed her into the fire pit with your own hands, which is too cruel for her. ”

Su Changyi turned his head and glanced at Huang Yourong, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes - Huang Yourong is not an honest and self-disciplined person, and he is really not qualified to teach him, which is quite a bit of a cat crying mouse and fake compassion.

However, after a moment of silence, Su Changyi said slowly: "What if you are not greedy? If you don't be greedy, you can't live! I have a meager salary, and Su not only has to support his family, but also has to deal with the welcome and send-off in the officialdom, and he has to maintain the dignity of the court officials...... With just that little money, where is it enough? At the beginning, Su was not willing to be greedy, but seeing that he was abiding by his duty but making his family suffer and being ridiculed, while the colleagues around him were living nourishing one by one, his heart was naturally unbalanced.

Then, Su couldn't help but be greedy a little bit, just a little silver, enough to maintain his life, but after seeing that his small actions were not discovered by the court, his courage gradually grew, and after his life became more and more nourished, he became more and more reluctant to return to his original poor life.

What's ridiculous is that when Su was still honest and self-controlled, he became an alternative in the officialdom, and everyone suppressed, excluded, and stumbled on me, and he didn't move in the position of the county magistrate! But after Su stretched out his hand to embezzle, he was promoted again and again, and in just three or five years, he was promoted to the fourth grade, and everyone regarded Su as their own.

Su still remembers that when his daughter Xiuning was just born, Su was serving as the prefect in Jiangxi, and secretly intercepted a batch of hydraulic silver and was denounced...... Hehe, isn't this because Su's handle fell into his hands, so he can use Su with peace of mind?

Gradually, Su's greed is getting bigger and bigger, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, and when he is about to retire, he comes to the drunken Jiangnan and gets the high position of the governor of Nanzhili, so he thinks that he has been greedy for so many years and has not been discovered, and when he is old, he will take the opportunity to work hard and earn enough silver, so that the Su family can be rich and prosperous for a long time, but the result is that people are not as good as heaven, Su is obviously going to return to his hometown in a year, but he was liquidated by the court at this time, and it was really fate......

After all, Huang Ge Lao, you are right, it is Su who is lucky and too greedy......"

As the position of the imperial court, Huang Yourong should have vigorously condemned Su Changyi's statement at this time.

But Huang Yourong himself is not clean, and after hearing Su Changyi's remarks, he actually felt a little empathetic.

In the end, Huang Yourong changed the topic, no longer entangled in Su Changyi's psychological activities of corruption and bribery, and just asked: "Master Su, according to your request, the old man has already asked you to meet Su Xiuning in private, so should you also tell the old man where you hide the silver?" ”

Su Changyi sighed, and then without any concealment, he said: "Su still has three places to hide silver, one is Su's ancestral house in the countryside, and there are about 350,000 taels of silver hidden in the cellar, as well as 7,000 taels of gold and some jewelry; In addition, the floor of the ancestral hall of the ancestral house is also full of silver, about 200,000 taels; The other is in the ancestral tomb of Su's hometown, the cemetery in the northwest is all empty, and the coffin is hidden with gold and silver, a total of 170,000 taels of silver and 30,000 taels of gold; There is also a secret compartment behind the bookshelf in Su's study, which is full of silver tickets, both official and private, and a total of 250,000 taels of silver. ”

After a pause, Su Changyi said again: "In addition, after Lord Zhao of the household department established the 'United Shipping Company', Su Mou let the two shipping companies under his name join it, and also invested about 150,000 taels of silver, which should not have been used yet, and it is still all in the account." ”

After hearing Su Changyi's explanation, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan were both surprised and glanced at each other.

Su Changyi's hidden silver is even more than they imagined!

The problem now is that all these pieces of silver have been hidden by Su Changzhen, and now only the two of them know, so do they still need to hand it over to the imperial court?

If it doesn't need to be handed over to the imperial court, then what should be done with this money?

Huang Yourong and Gu Quan looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes were meaningful.

Then, Huang Yourong turned his head to look at Su Changyi again, his eyes were sincere, his expression was full of confidence, and he looked like he was wholeheartedly thinking about Su Changyi, and said slowly: "Master Su, these three Tibetan silvers add up, I'm afraid there can be two million taels of silver?" With such a huge amount, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to do! Coupled with the gold and silver treasures seized in the Su Mansion, as well as all your properties Master Su, the sum of all items is more than four million taels of silver!

If the old man truthfully reports this number, it will be one of the best corruption cases in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, His Majesty will be furious, Lord Su, you are not only in the catastrophe, but you will also be stinky for 10,000 years in the future, even if the punishment of the Su family will be more serious, so ......"

Huang Yourong said this, but he gave Gu Quan a look.

And Gu Quan said with a smile: "So, according to the official's meaning, it is best to continue to hide the matter of these silver hides, Master Su, don't tell anyone else, this will be good for everyone!" What do you say, Master Su? ”

Regarding Huang Yourong and Gu Quan's approach, Su Changyi had already expected it.

When he told him about some of his hidden silver, it was destined to be privately divided among some people.

If Su Changyi becomes the minister of the Qincha, Su Changzhen will do the same.

Therefore, Su Changyi's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "In this case, Su Mou will thank the two adults for taking care of them, don't worry, Su Mou knows what to do, these silver will be given to you by Su, I just hope that the two adults can treat the Su family leniently during this time." ”

Hearing Su Changyi's answer, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan's expressions became more and more cheerful.

Then, after the two said a few good words to Su Changyi, they left the room together.

But after walking out of the door, the faces of the two changed one after another, Huang Yourong's expression looked a little gloomy, and Gu Quan's expression was thoughtful.

As he walked slowly, Huang Yourong said slowly: "Master Gu, if Su Changyi's few Tibetan silvers want to be eaten with peace of mind, Su Changyi can't stay for a long time, don't look at him agreeing happily today, but who knows if he will tell these things in the future?" ”

Gu Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's best to inform Lord Zhao about this matter and find out Lord Zhao's intentions." ”

Seeing that Huang Yourong's expression was vaguely unhappy, Gu Quan said again: "Lord Qincha, don't worry, we have to stay in Nanzhili for a long time, and we can go back and forth quickly enough." I'm going to write a letter to Lord Zhao, Lord Qincha should rest early, the raid on the Su Mansion is just the beginning, and we have a lot of things to do next. ”

This time, Huang Yourong had a little more smile on his face.

Indeed, Su Changyi's house raid is just the beginning, Su Changyi still has many friends, these people will also raid their homes, and then it will be a lot of extra money.

In addition, there is also the matter of "United Boat Trip" that they need to deal with, and if everything goes well, the benefits will be even more *********** S: the first update, a large chapter of 5,000 words! There's one more chapter around the wee hours of the morning!
