Su Rong raised his eyebrows. He knew that Su Yao must be upset at this moment, but it was clear that there was another meaning behind what Su Yao said. After thinking for a while, he asked directly, "Why, was it Su An who did it?"
Of course it shouldn't be.
After the incident, Su An couldn't even leave the house, let alone see his servants. No one could help him with his work, and the time was not right. Besides, with Su An's brain, he would only find someone to cause trouble for the Shen family couple, and would not touch a child.
Of course, if Su Xingxuan hadn't instigated him, he would not have thought of the Shen family.
"No." Su Yao adjusted the tassels on his waist with a cold expression, and said in a light tone: "But Su An is an accomplice. If he hadn't rushed to the other village and caused that scene, Su Xingxuan wouldn't have gotten away so easily, and this incident would not have happened."
Su Rong understood that it was Su Xingxuan who was responsible for Shen Jiayan's incident this time. He was a little surprised: "Last time you asked me for someone, you said you were going to find someone, you were looking for Su Xingxuan, right? Didn't you say that Su Xingxuan and Su An didn't have that many people, and it was someone else who attacked me, and suspected that Su Xingxuan had colluded with the forces over there, and this incident was also caused by her? If that's true, then it would be easy for Su Xingxuan to have the spare energy to attack your brother."
He paused, and seeing that Su Yao's eyes were getting colder, he asked, "In that case, even if you bring shame to the Su family, how can you touch Su Xingxuan? You know, although Su An is hateful, she is just an accomplice. The real culprit is her."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you don't pursue it, she will pay the price just like Su An." Su Yao's lips curled up slightly, and the expression on his face finally changed, with a subtle smile: "Selfish people should be with selfish people. I was wrong. I shouldn't just think about driving Su Xingxuan out of the Su family."
Is this a humiliation for Su Xingxuan? Yes.
Is it a punishment? Yes.
But Su Xingxuan is Su Xingxuan. She is good at disguising herself, good at taking advantage of all her advantages, and has the coldest heart.
This is not enough, far from enough.
Since Su Xingxuan feels that being straightforward is not enough and likes to sharpen her knife in secret, that's great. She also wants Su Xingxuan to experience this feeling.
Su Rong paused quietly for a moment and looked at Su Yao, then nodded slowly: "In this case, the plan to send Su An away can be temporarily suspended."
Su Yao was lifting the curtain to take a look at the night view of the street. When he heard Su Rong's words, he was about to thank him, but when he looked up, he saw the Phoenix Tower with bright lights and many beautiful women leaning on the flying bridge and waving at him. His face froze immediately.
Su Rong noticed that she suddenly stopped talking, so he followed her gaze and looked outside. When he saw the brightly lit Phoenix Building, he asked her, "What's wrong?"
"I saw an acquaintance." Su Yao's blood stopped at that moment. After a long time, when the carriage had left Fenghuang Tower far behind, she felt her stiff body stretching again: "I thought of something."
Su Rong felt that there was something wrong with her expression. Besides, Su Yao had just arrived, so how could he have any acquaintances in the capital
But since Su Yao just changed the subject, he didn't ask any more questions and just said "Tell me about it."
"I think the other party should have already used their connections, so we should also take action." Su Yao smiled and sat upright, like a pine tree that would never be bent. "Tomorrow is the new moon and full moon, and there will be a grand court meeting. Lord Shao should also make a splash."
The next day, Shao Wenxun, who had just impeached the son of Marquis Changping, did something big again - he submitted a memorial in public, impeaching the grain transport commander for ten crimes.
Among them are corruption, bribery, collusion with cliques, seeking benefits, and collusion with the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Each and every one of them is a serious crime.
Everyone actually knew the identity of the second master of the He family, so even though the second master He was detained this time, the Dali Temple was actually quite polite and did not use torture, and the trial was conducted in secret.
This is obviously what His Majesty meant.
The emperor doesn't want this matter to get out of hand - those who understand the mystery know that he is doing this for the sake of the late queen.
But after Shao Wenxun exposed the matter, things became different.
This matter was suddenly brought up in front of all the officials, and the case was exposed to the world. It had to be investigated thoroughly, and for a moment, the cabinet was caught off guard.
But Shao Wenxun did not back down at all, and pointed out directly: "Two-thirds of the tribute satin of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, that is, two-thirds of the annual income, should be 800,000 pieces. Now two-thirds are gone. If converted into silver, if it is sold to Japan as agreed, it should be more than one million taels of silver! More than one million taels! So much silver was swallowed up by these rats! How could a mere transport envoy do this? There must be other forces behind it. The transport envoy cannot be exempted from the crime, but is it possible that the Ministry of Internal Affairs also knows nothing about it?! Is it possible that the Weaving Bureau also knows nothing about it?! These things are not something that a transport envoy can do. There must be other people behind the scenes. Please investigate thoroughly!"
Shao Wenxun knelt down and took off his official hat with both hands: "Your Majesty, I beg you to thoroughly investigate the theft of tribute satin from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and get rid of these parasites for the country!"
Prime Minister Yang's usually calm face trembled slightly.
And Pang Da had already started cursing in his heart.
Everyone knows that the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is closely related to the Imperial Household Department. The eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau has always been directly appointed by the Imperial Household Department. The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department is close to the Pang family and Concubine Pang.
Now that Shao Wenxun has exposed this matter in the court, he is not just talking about the Weaving Bureau, he is trying to accuse the Pang family of forming a clique!
He suddenly became unsteady on his feet.
But he was afraid to act rashly - Shao Wenxun was the son-in-law of Prince Fenyang. Although he came from a humble background and had no support, he had a prince in his corner, and Prince Fenyang was famous for protecting his own people.
The Pang family can use their power to suppress others, but when it comes to Shao Wenxun, they can neither hit him nor scold him... ... .
His hands were trembling slightly under the sleeves of his wide robe. It took him a long time to control his emotions and he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements above.
Unlike his nervousness, many people in the audience showed expressions of surprise and joy.
I didn’t expect that this god of death would actually stand up. What a pleasant surprise!
