The sincerity of the Chu family is self-evident.
Master Chu took a deep breath, tremblingly reached out his hand to support his son's shoulder, and said to his son solemnly with a complicated look: "Son, your father has been busy all his life. Merchants pursue profits, always thinking about making money and currying favor, so I was willing to give your sister to someone as a concubine. But now, I really regret it. If His Highness hadn't chosen our family and used your sister to hide his identity, our family... our family would be finished now."
He also thought about the consequences even if Tan Zhengtong had not failed this time and the conspiracy had not been exposed.
But would that be a good ending for their Chu family
If anyone knew even a little bit about what Qin Zheng and the others had done, they would be guilty of the crime of destroying their entire family and property!
Master Chu has lived for half his life. It is good to have wealth and splendor, but it is not as important as life. He was really frightened by the blood on the streets these days. With a sigh, Master Chu turned his head and looked at the furnishings and things that had been quickly added. He nodded gently and said, "Time is short. I can only inconvenience your highness and his party. I will slowly add good things after a few days."
Although Chu Yongcheng didn't think as deeply as his father, he didn't need to think so deeply, because he only needed to know one thing - follow Xiao Heng and help Xiao Heng with things, Xiao Heng would not treat him unfairly. Their family has gained a lot of benefits over the years relying on Qin Zhengtong. If they were not the crown prince, others would have dealt with them in the future. But now that he is the crown prince, it actually leaves them a way to survive.
Of course he cherished it, and when his father said so, he asked his father not to worry, and he took a team of servants with him to check the house carefully from top to bottom.
Everything that needed to be replaced had been replaced, and everything that needed to be cleaned had been cleaned out. The hired workers were now clearing away the gravel in the garden. Seeing the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Go and make some sour plum soup for everyone. In addition, today, each of the servants in the house will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver. In addition to the wages, each of the hired masters will also be given an extra one or two taels of silver."
The housekeeper quickly agreed.
After a while, the housekeeper came back and hurriedly leaned close to Chu Yongcheng's ear and whispered a few words.
Chu Yongcheng glanced at him and said without hesitation: "Clean up Bifeng Garden, it's right there, so we can arrange the manpower!"
As he spoke, he went to Bifeng Garden again.
Bifeng Garden is located at the very edge of the Chu family mansion. There is a small courtyard in the garden. The courtyard is three stories high and there is a staircase in the middle. There are back houses and side rooms on the left and right sides, which can accommodate a lot of people. Chu Yongcheng checked it up and down and nodded. He felt more and more that there was nothing wrong with his idea, so he asked the housekeeper to do the work.
That evening, Bifeng Garden was completely renovated and many people moved in.
The Chu family mansion was also very lively.
Many burned soldiers and guards had to wait for treatment. Fortunately, the Chu family went around looking for doctors and found several barefoot doctors who were good at treating burns from the public, and only then was the situation under control.
The Chu family made a great contribution this time. Xiao Heng met Chu Yongcheng and praised him in person.
Chu Yongcheng was extremely terrified. He no longer dared to call Xiao Hengdeng "brother". He stammered and called him "Your Highness". He scratched his head and said, "It is our blessing that you still need us."
What he said was from the heart. Xiao Heng smiled, but his tone was indifferent: "It's too early to say whether it's a blessing or not. I have something to tell you. You should take your parents and others to live in Qiuyiju."
Qiuyi Ju was renovated from the old house of the Chu family. In the beginning, the Chu family only had that one house. After they became wealthy, they gradually started to buy up the surrounding houses and connect them up.
Chu Yongcheng's family had not lived there for a long time, and those who had been living there were only some members of the Chu family.
However, when Xiao Heng mentioned this, Chu Yongcheng agreed without thinking. After all, Xiao Heng's identity was extraordinary, so it was normal to clear the area.
After he left, Cui Daru stroked his beard and said softly, "The fish has taken the bait."
He raised his hand, and Mr. Cui came forward and whispered, "Among the hired men, there are a few who are a little different. Others can't wait to eat after finishing their work, but they are different. Not only are they not in a hurry, they even strolled around and said they had never seen such a big house. Some also said that the carpenter was old and really loved the wood in this house..."
Sure enough, as soon as the bait was thrown out, the fish came rushing over and wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
Since they had no place to stay, of course they had to find a place to live.
Wei Desheng and his men naturally had to seize this opportunity to rescue Lord Yuan and assassinate him again. Otherwise, if they waited any longer, once the imperial edict arrived, even if those officers and soldiers did not obey the Crown Prince, would they really obey a traitor who had already been sentenced to death by the imperial order
It seemed that they were waiting, but Wei Desheng and his men had already left no way out.
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and asked: "What about Bifeng Garden..."
At their suggestion, Chu Yongcheng spent a lot of effort to clean up and arrange Bifeng Garden, and checked it thoroughly inside and outside. Most people would think that such a heavily guarded and tricky place must either hold a special person or be the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.
No matter which possibility it is, those people will never give up.
Cui Siye immediately said, "Those people followed the smell and went over. Many of them stayed there for quite a while, including a carpenter with a measuring tape."
It is normal for carpenters to carry a tape measure, and they think it will not arouse suspicion.
But when this is a trap, the person who set it up naturally cannot take anything lightly.
Xiao Heng said nothing more and went to Bifeng Garden in person. He stayed there for more than an hour. When he came out, he said to Su Rong who followed him with a sullen face in a low voice, "He is so ungrateful! He thought that since his wife was rescued, he could get out too. What wishful thinking! Punish him, don't be polite! Make sure to find out the channels through which he sent letters out of the city, as well as the rest of the names!"
Su Rong also responded with a common hatred for the enemy, and reassured Xiao Heng: "I will guard it myself, and no one will be allowed to enter this courtyard, not even a fly! Your Highness, you have been busy for so long, and Chufeng Garden has been cleaned up. You should go to bed early today. Today is the night shift of Prince Consort Tang, so you can have a good sleep."
Xiao Heng rubbed his temple tiredly: "I am indeed a little tired, so you must pay more attention. One has already escaped, so we can't let another one escape."
