This involves a life-threatening situation.
Although these powerful people have always claimed to be superior to others, the Zhang family has not reached that level yet. At least they would never dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Thinking of this, Master Su San couldn't tell what he felt.
Now it seems that Su Yao doesn't just need Mrs. Su San's favor? She is simply too opinionated!
"Don't worry, Third Master." Su Yao seemed to know what he was thinking: "It's true that there is no such thing as despising the poor and loving the rich or breaking off an engagement, but Liang Cheng does have a deep grudge against the Zhang family, there is no doubt about that."
This is also the reason why Su Yao chose Liang Cheng.
Ever since Su Rong asked Qing Kun about the incident, Su Yao had no intention of letting the Zhang family go.
There are not many people she cares about, but each one of them is extremely important.
I can suffer injustice, but they can't.
Zhang Linghui has crossed her bottom line, so of course she has to accept the punishment.
Su Rong said that he had already made arrangements. Su Yao did not argue with him, but she also made preparations in advance. She asked the smartest Ruan Xiaojiu to follow Master Zhang for a while.
It may be difficult to find something to hold against someone else, but Master Zhang is full of holes and there are things to hold against him.
This person seemed to be born to do bad things. Even when Ruan Xiaojiu came back to report, he wanted to slap Master Zhang a few times.
Master Zhang has been a troublemaker since he was young. When his sister married the son of the Earl of Yongding, he regarded himself as a nobleman. He spent his days fighting cocks and walking dogs, and did not do any good deeds.
He had no money to pay back the money he borrowed from others at high interest, and the Zhang family couldn't afford it either, so he ran to the Yongding Earl's Mansion to cry to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was soft-hearted with the only younger brother in her mother's family. She subsidized him again and again, but this only made him become worse.
At first he was just a small scoundrel, but later he became a complete devout connoisseur of all vices, including eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He even squandered all the first lady's dowry.
This spendthrift guy doesn't know how to restrain himself. He once cried and made a scene in the Su family, accusing the eldest lady of loving money like her life and disregarding family affection.
The eldest lady was pregnant with Su Rong at that time, and the younger brother fainted due to anger, resulting in premature birth.
Because of this incident, Old Lady Su and the then Prince of Yongding were both very embarrassed. In the end, they helped him to fill the hole for the sake of the eldest lady and then arranged his marriage.
But this prodigal son looked down on the girls that the Su family found for him. Instigated by his bad friends, he fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy family, which caused a lot of uproar.
From then on, Old Lady Su lost interest in Zhang Tan, thinking that he was heartless and ungrateful and would only be a burden in the future, so she warned the first lady to stay away from him.
Later, Zhang Tan was well-behaved for a few years - Mrs. Zhang was a capable woman and kept him under control.
He settled down, and the old lady and old man of the Zhang family died one after another. Before they died, in order to save this useless son, they forced the first lady to agree to the marriage.
In fact, the Su family really looked down on the Zhang family at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhang had already promised and given a token of love at her parents' home, Old Lady Su would never have agreed to let her eldest grandson marry a girl from the Zhang family.
Later, when something happened to the Su family, the eldest lady returned to her parents' home and wanted to ask Master Zhang to help her write a petition and find out the truth about the enclosure, but Master Zhang flatly refused.
Not only that, there were frequent rumors of canceling engagements.
Before her death, the eldest lady still felt that her younger brother just didn't think it through at the moment. Before she died, she held Master Zhang's hand and begged him to take care of his nephew in the future.
But how could a person without conscience suddenly develop one
It happened that Xu Rui, the prince of Chengguo Mansion, saw Zhang Linghui when he went to the Buddhist temple and fell in love with her at first sight.
He seized this opportunity and wished to send his daughter to someone else's bed. He caused a lot of trouble and finally forced the Su family to cancel the engagement. He successfully became the father-in-law of the prince.
Relying on this identity, Master Zhang has become even more lawless. He no longer lends money at usury, but instead lends money at usury under the name of the Chengguo Mansion.
Liang Cheng's father was a juren, but he failed in the imperial examinations many times. As he grew older, he gave up the hope of passing the imperial examination, so he went to report to the Ministry of Personnel, hoping to fill a vacancy and become a minor official.
But it is not easy to pass the examination of the Ministry of Personnel. After all, there are already many successful candidates, but each vacancy is filled to the utmost. If you can be selected, it is the result of the good deeds of your ancestors.
Liang Cheng's father thought of countless ways and finally found the help from Master Zhang.
Master Zhang waved his hand and asked him to use the silver to smooth the way.
As for where the money came from, it was naturally borrowed from his subordinates.
Liang Chengjia borrowed three hundred taels of silver, and Master Zhang took the silver with a promise, saying that he would use it to smooth things over for him.
But in the end, they didn't take it seriously at all. They turned around and told the Liang family that the plan had failed and asked them to think of another solution. Then they started to ask the Liang family to repay the debt.
Not only did he fail to smooth the relationship, but he also failed to get an official position. Instead, he was saddled with a debt of three hundred taels of silver. The interest compounded and soon the debt grew to a huge sum of more than one thousand taels. The Liang family was simply unable to repay the debt.
Master Zhang had people coming to the Liang family's house all day long to demand payment, either beating them up or pretending to set fire to them, which frightened the Liang family into living in fear and anxiety.
Finally, Liang Cheng's father could no longer hold on and jumped into a well and died.
The family was completely ruined.
Liang Cheng hated Master Zhang so much that he wanted to grind him into ashes.
When Ruan Xiaojiu came back and said this, Su Yao immediately came up with an idea.
To deal with such a villain among villains, Su Yao has never hesitated to use the greatest malice.
Of course, in her opinion, this was actually a show of mercy.
Did she cause Master Zhang to lose his life
Considering Master Zhang's shamelessness and the Xu family's ability and morality, Master Zhang would just have to go to Shuntian Prefecture and at most lose his job. The matter would eventually be suppressed.
However, perhaps because she had been suppressed for too long, or perhaps because she hated the Zhang family too much, Liang Cheng's mother actually hanged herself at the door of the Zhang family.
Su Yao sighed slightly.
Some people try their best just to stay alive, but some people, in pursuit of power, treat human life as worthless and trample on everything without any empathy.
For such a person, Su Yao felt that it was no use dying. There was nothing to regret.
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent involuntarily.
Just as Su Yao said, when the Zhang family did something extreme, did they ever think about leaving others a way to survive
After going through all this, Mrs. Zhang still wanted to use her daughter's death to disgust the Su family and restore her reputation. People like this will never know they are wrong.
The best punishment is to make them lose everything they care about.
Master Su San was a little stunned. After hearing this story, he finally sighed: "This Liang Cheng..."
