This is the subtlety of the chess player's layout.
It doesn’t matter whether those charges are true or not, and it doesn’t matter what happens to Hu Jianbang in the end.
What is important is the identity of Hu Jianbang.
Su Yao slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled at Mrs. He: "Grandma, it's too late. I'm afraid he has found someone else besides you."
Mrs. He was stunned. Her back ached because it had been tense all along and now it suddenly relaxed. Then she immediately realized that Hu Jianbang had mentioned Xiao Heng, and she was furious: "He really is..."
Seeing how nervous she was, Su Yao hurriedly held her hand and shook it: "Don't worry, grandma, it's okay, nothing will happen."
How could nothing happen
Mrs. He pressed her temple anxiously: "Yaoyao, you don't know how serious this is. The emperor hates it most when others mention the reason why the queen went to the Jingshan Palace..."
If the old matter were brought up again, the current Xiao Heng would become the former crown prince.
All these years of forbearance have been in vain.
"No." Su Yao stared at Mrs. He with a dim gaze and shook his head gently: "Everything is different now. I already know how they plan to play this game."
After comforting Mrs. He, Su Yao first sent Mrs. He back to the He family, then changed his own carriage and went back to the Su family, and then went straight to Changxuan.
Not long after, Ruan Xiaojiu also came back and said to Su Yao, "Miss, Manager Tang sent a message saying that he did as you said and framed the young master of the Shen family for manslaughter, and asked the young master's classmates to pretend to report to the authorities..."
"How about my godfather and godmother?" Although Su Yao had already made up his mind, he was a little worried when he thought about the Shen couple who were probably scared and nervous: "Are you sending someone to watch them?"
"Don't worry, Lord Chen has already sent people to keep an eye on them. Mr. Shen and his wife will be fine." Ruan Xiaojiu also knew Su Yao's thoughts: "Now according to your plan, Uncle Zhong has asked the doctor to prescribe a drug that makes Mr. Shen sleepy, and then Uncle Zhong hinted that there is an ancestral jade dress in Madam's home, and asked Madam to take it out as a favor..."
In this way, it is natural to give things to Leiyun.
Su Yao nodded and said, "Tell Shopkeeper Tang to trouble him. The things must appear in Lei Yun's house. I will be very useful to them."
Ruan Xiaojiu agreed immediately.
Half a month had passed when Shopkeeper Tang handed the Golden Jade Burial Suit to Lei Yun. The Empress Dowager had passed her 100th birthday, and it was almost the end of November and the Chinese New Year.
Lei Yun came down from the octagonal pavilion in the mansion, opened it and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened, and he touched it lovingly. He was very proud and praised Manager Tang for his ability to do things: "You are really quick."
Shopkeeper Tang held up an exquisite handkerchief and pressed his forehead, smiling as he said, "The Shen family has long been vulnerable. Besides, everyone in the court knows that the fool named Hu has been saying that the eldest grandson of the emperor is the legitimate heir and the crown prince is wronged... The Su and He families have inevitably been affected and are too busy to take care of the Shen family. That's why the progress is so fast. It's because you are so omniscient and predictable!"
It is true that he has an all-seeing eye, but he cannot be said to be able to predict things like a god.
Lei Yun carefully closed the box with a click, told his confidant to put the things away, and after a few instructions, he turned to Shopkeeper Tang and said, "Now that we have the things, we can handle the rest more efficiently. You know, the higher-ups want to wipe out the Shen family before they'll stop. I don't want to bother two people with the same thing. I'm too lazy to let another person handle it. You should have some ideas in your mind."
Shopkeeper Tang readily agreed and went out to report as if he had lost all his parents.
Through a curtain, Su Yao said to Chen Dong calmly, "You can start now. I'll trouble Captain Chen to take care of everything."
Chen Dong clasped his fists, glanced at the shopkeeper Tang who was hiding in the corner obediently, then turned around and walked out cleanly.
Shopkeeper Tang was used to observing people's expressions. When Chen Dong was around, he didn't even dare to breathe. Only after Chen Dong left did he dare to shrink his neck and take a breath. Then he smiled and cautiously asked Su Yao: "Miss Su, you went through such a big circle just to give the golden jade clothes to Lord Lei? What exactly is in it..."
Su Yao chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Mystery, huh?"
Glancing at Shopkeeper Tang, Su Yao chuckled, "Shopkeeper Tang, if you ask me, I would like to ask you in return, what is the secret behind you going through so much trouble to get Hu Jianbang into the capital?"
Shopkeeper Tang was struck by lightning and was once again amazed at Su Yao's sharpness and calmness.
There has been a big quarrel in the court recently over Hu Jianbang's matter. Since Su Yao clearly knows that the killer move was actually Hu Jianbang's stupidity, has she actually just been watching the show all these days
But Su Yao is clearly from Xiao Heng's faction.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what Su Yao was up to until seven days later.
It was the second day of December, a normal day. Some diligent families had already started washing and drying their furniture in preparation for the New Year. Shopkeeper Tang came out of his house and was going to the shop to check the accounts as usual. Halfway there, he heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves, and then his carriage was driven aside.
Seeing the large group of the government army's rear guards rushing past, Manager Tang wiped his eyelids and looked ahead anxiously. Suddenly, he ordered the driver: "Hurry! Go to the front..."
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and called to the driver: "Stop! Forget it!"
The driver was confused by him, but Manager Tang didn't care about that. His heart was beating like a drum and he told the driver to turn around and go home quickly. After a long time, the servant he sent out came back.
Now he couldn't care less. Manager Tang grabbed the servant's collar and said, "Did you find out clearly? Where did those officials go just now?!"
"I've already found out everything." The servant was panting, his face pale as dirt: "Master, those soldiers were ordered to surround the home of the Minister of Revenue, Lei!"
What!
The dark cloud that had been lingering in his heart finally settled down. Shopkeeper Tang felt as if his heart was hit by a huge rock. Thinking of Su Yao's golden jade dress, he couldn't help but feel creepy.
A dignified third-rank minister, who was on the verge of ascending to the position of minister or even entering the cabinet, was actually pulled down like this!
How did Su Yao do it
He was confused and his mind was in a mess. In addition to panic, he felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, he had already withdrawn from his shameful business when Su Yao urged him to set up a plan to give away the golden jade burial suit.
