Chapter 1129: One hundred and twenty-nine – It’s your own fault

Views:

If I could, I would really like to stab this ungrateful bully to death.

But now he already had a guess in his mind, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only suppress his impatience and stared coldly at Boss Ma: "If you are willing to tell me your future plans, I can spare your life."

When he heard that his life would be spared, Boss Ma seemed to have heard something funny.

He sneered and taunted mercilessly: "If I cared about my life, I would have escaped from the mountain stream long ago. Do you still want to find me?"

This was also the truth. Su Rong was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If that's the case, why are you so persistent? Does our Su family have any grudge against you?"

If it weren't for the hatred of exterminating the entire family, Su Rong really couldn't understand why these people had been staring at the Su family for decades. Even if there was some relationship between the evil desires of the previous dynasty, and these people were preparing for some kind of restoration, but in the final analysis, there were countless people who were higher in status and more powerful than the Su family. There were only seventeen or eighteen families of court nobles left until now, and even families like the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion were much stronger than the Su family.

However, there has never been such a serious plot against the Duke Ping's Mansion.

He couldn't figure it out.

Boss Ma narrowed his eyes. The injury was too severe. Even a desperate man like him could not bear the pain. He covered his stomach to relieve the pain and snorted lightly, "Since you asked about this, I can be merciful and tell you. Do you know what your Su family did before?"

What did the Su family do in the past

Su Rong stared at him with a frown on his face. Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but they passed so quickly that he had no time to grasp them. He could only respond to the changing situation with the same attitude: "I don't know."

"Then you really have forgotten your ancestors." Boss Ma's words were very harsh, and he was not afraid of Su Rong's anger at all: "Your ancestors made their fortune through military merit, but when it came to your grandfather's generation, he didn't rely on military merit. He relied on helping the person on the throne to frame charges to sit on the Yongding Earl's seat so firmly!"

Su Rong immediately realized something. He looked at Boss Ma's bitter and resentful look and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you from Xiangyang?"

The reason he said this was because the old Earl of Yongding had only been ordered to slaughter the entire Zheng family in Xiangyang.

But there was a reason for that. When the deposed emperor issued an order, the Zheng family almost led troops to kill the Yuanfeng Emperor, who was still a vassal king at the time. Not only that, when Emperor Yuanfeng was being chased and fell into the river, Queen Hu jumped in to save him, but it was also the Zheng family who led people to chase him.

So when Emperor Yuanfeng attacked Xiangyang again, he ordered the old Earl of Yongding to take people to Zheng's house without hesitation.

The Zheng family defended Xiangyang to the death and refused to give an inch. For this reason, Emperor Yuanfeng finally ordered a killing spree.

The Zheng family was almost wiped out.

The reason why I say almost is because now Boss Ma seems to be a member of the Zheng family.

When Xiangyang was mentioned, the smile on Boss Ma's face disappeared. He stared at Su Rong fiercely and sneered: "How many people have you killed as the dog emperor's pawns? You should have expected this day to come!"

It turns out that he is from the Zheng family.

After hearing that he was really from the Zheng family, Su Rong regained his composure instantly. He raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "So it was the Zheng family. If you said it was someone else, I might have to think again about whether what my grandfather did was right. But if you said it was the Zheng family, didn't the Zheng family deserve it?"

Boss Ma was like a dog whose tail was stepped on. He asked with his teeth bared, "What did you say?"

"You said we are the current emperor's lackeys, but what about your Zheng family? When the deposed emperor wanted to have fun in the Xiangyang Palace, you led people to forcibly cut down the forest farm of the local wealthy Lin family. The Lin family wanted to file a complaint, but you threw all the family members into jail. More than a hundred people in the Lin family died just like that!" Su Rong sneered, "Also, the prefect Feng Shun wanted to surrender to the current emperor, but you cooked Feng Shun directly. Isn't this a wicked thing you did? In comparison, my grandfather only killed the adult males of your Zheng family. This is the result of your heinous crimes and you deserve it. You actually hate us for such a ridiculous reason. It's ridiculous!"

It's both ridiculous and hateful.

Veins bulged on Boss Ma's neck, and he looked ferocious. "You're talking nonsense! It's just a matter of winners and losers! Since you are so ruthless to us, we can fight back!"

"Sure enough, they are of the same lineage!" Su Rong stared at him coldly: "The Zheng family committed murder and arson in the past, and those who remain now are also unscrupulous. No wonder your Zheng family is going to perish."

Boss Ma was hit in the sore spot, and felt the blood rushing up his body. When he heard Su Rong say this, he was so angry that he said something he didn't want to know: "Even if it is so, so what?! Your good days are over. Do you know what we are planning? Don't you want to know what I am going to do next?"

He smiled strangely, as if he felt that he had finally defeated Su Rong, and began to calm down again: "Go ahead and guess, and see if you can guess it when the day comes that you die!"

Su Rong rushed forward, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

The huge force made Boss Ma feel dizzy. He struggled for a moment before reacting and even started to add fuel to the fire: "Oh, you finally can't help it and want to kill me? Quick, quick! Quick! I'm waiting, Lord Su, Earl of Yongding, please kill me quickly, kill me!"

Su Rong couldn't bear it anymore.

At this moment, Su Yao's voice came from outside: "Brother!"

As soon as he heard Su Yao's voice, Su Rong's anger instantly disappeared and he became the calm and composed Earl of Yongding again.

He threw Ma Lao Da to the ground, agreed, and when he saw Su Yao coming in, he said to Su Yao first: "Don't worry, A Qiu is smart and took Pang Rou to hide. We arrived in time, and they are both fine."

Su Yao already knew this. She hummed and said with a smile, "I know. I saw Qiu when I came in just now."

When the little girl saw her, she burst into tears.

Su Yao thought of Aqiu's appearance, and when he looked at Boss Ma again, his eyes were filled with indifference.

Sensing Su Yao's look, Boss Ma whistled at Su Yao provocatively: "Hey, it's County Lady Su here, what's up, are you very proud? Look, you've won again, it looks like the Pang family won't consider you an enemy anymore, not only that, you saved their precious child, now they must be eager to worship you as a Buddha, why, County Lady Su should thank me, if it weren't for me, County Lady Su wouldn't have gotten this advantage."
