Wei Desheng was speechless. He saw countless of his men being beaten or killed along the way. Even though he was used to seeing dead people, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart - this is worthy of a woman! How could there be such a cold-hearted woman? !
His hands were tied behind his back. Su Yao had no respect for the Yunnan general, the local tyrant. Her subordinates were naturally able to read Wei Desheng's expressions. Seeing Wei Desheng hesitating, He Jian gave him a heavy push from behind. Seeing Wei Desheng glaring at He Jian, Ruan Xiaojiu sneered, "What are you doing? Could it be that Lord Wei wants to take action again?"
Where is Wei Desheng's place to speak now
He had no choice but to purse his lips and with a cold expression, he was pushed into the carriage that they had already prepared.
The carriage slowly arrived at Chu's house. It was already bright. Chu Yongcheng and his family were awakened by the huge explosion last night. The whole family was almost scared to death. The direction of the accident was Chu Fengyuan! They hurried over. Master Chu didn't even wear shoes. He ran out barefoot. However, the mansion was heavily guarded. They couldn't get in for a while. They didn't know what was going on inside. They were so anxious that they even had several blisters.
Especially Chu Yongcheng, he almost wanted to die.
His entire life and property now depends on His Highness. If anything happens to His Highness, he will be the first to suffer the consequences!
Just when he was about to bang his head against the wall, Master Chu shouted in a trembling voice: "Miss Su is back! That's Miss Su's horse!"
Su Yao's horse was found by the Chu family, so Mr. Chu recognized it.
They also knew that Miss Su was the sister of the Earl of Yongding and that she came from the capital. It was obvious that she was highly valued by His Highness. When she came, Chu Yongcheng almost kowtowed to the ground. He hurriedly rushed forward to pay his respects and ask to see Su Yao.
Su Yao was sitting on the horse. Seeing that Chu Yongcheng and his family were all nervous and panicked, he nodded and said, "Your Highness is fine. It's just that there are many things to do now. If you have anything to do, please come back later."
When she came here, she had already heard Su Rong talk about the Chu family. She also knew that although they were a little utilitarian, they were knowledgeable and had really helped Xiao Heng a lot. Now seeing them waiting here eagerly, she knew what they were worried about, so she reassured them.
Chu Yongcheng was so excited that he was about to cry. He didn't dare to delay Su Yao's business. He thanked Su Yao profusely and quickly pulled his father to make way.
It was only at this moment that Master Chu felt some pain in his feet. He jumped up with a cry and wiped the cold sweat from his head: "Oh my God, I was really scared this time. For no reason... "
Such a loud explosion shook almost half of the town. If they hadn't been prepared, how could they have been safe
Now that they came to their senses, Master Chu and Chu Yongcheng guessed that this matter was probably within the expectations of His Highness and the others. In this case, they had nothing to worry about. After waiting at the gate of the mansion for a while, they returned to the old house.
At this time, everything inside the Chu family was in order.
In Bifeng Garden, Su Rong tied up the tall and thin man and a few remaining survivors tightly, and took them to Chufeng Garden to meet Xiao Heng.
Chu Fengyuan was blown beyond recognition, but fortunately this time we were well prepared, so there were no casualties.
But looking at the extent of the damage to the building, you can imagine what a terrible situation it would be today if we hadn't been prepared last night.
Su Rong's eyes became increasingly cold. He led this group of people around Chu Feng Garden and came to another courtyard on the side where the buildings were relatively intact. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Yuan and others talking in the courtyard.
Seeing him coming, Tang Yuan hurried over to greet him and asked him, "Is everything going well for you as well?"
"It went smoothly." Su Rong said briefly, looking behind him, and said to Tang Yuan, "Everyone is here. Six of them died, leaving only four. The poison sacs in their mouths have been removed, and their jaws have been removed. They cannot die."
Tang Yuan nodded. This group of people were extremely vicious. Assassinating the imperial envoy was a capital crime. It would not be a big deal even if they were chopped into pieces on the spot, let alone just cutting off their jaws to prevent them from committing suicide.
After Su Rong finished speaking, he asked him, "How are you guys doing here? Is His Highness okay?"
He also knew that it must be fine, otherwise how could Tang Yuan stay here so leisurely? As expected, Tang Yuan also laughed: "Don't mention it, those guys really thought their plan was perfect, and they didn't think about it. Those carpenters were eyeing Bifeng Garden and Chufeng Garden at the beginning, and only a blind man would not see it. We have already sent people to follow them. After following them for so many days, we naturally know that their whereabouts are strange. Moreover, we have stepped up our defenses, and they thought they were digging tunnels outside secretly. The funny thing is that after the explosion, they were so bold that they wanted to make sure that His Highness was really in trouble, and they wanted to pretend that our people went to Chufeng Garden to watch the fun."
If the explosion really happened, there's a chance they wouldn't be discovered.
But didn’t the explosion happen at all
These people were simply walking into a trap; he couldn't help but find it ridiculous when he thought about it.
Su Rong also pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile, and said: "I will go in to see His Highness."
Xiao Heng was discussing with Cui Daru how to deal with these people next.
He originally wanted to kill these people directly.
Cui Daru disagreed. He stroked his beard and said earnestly, "Originally, these people are not worth dying for, so they can be killed. But they can be of greater use, so it is better to keep them alive."
Xiao Heng seemed to be thinking about something, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Daru: "Sir, what do you mean?"
"Your Highness, although Yunnan is called Yunnan of the Great Zhou, it is not actually controlled by our court. The natives only obey their chieftains, and the attitude of the chieftains towards the court is the attitude of the natives towards the court. Therefore, even if a chieftain who is close to the court is replaced this time, who can guarantee that his next generation will continue to be loyal to the court?"
Everyone said that this chaos was caused by the dispute between the legitimate and illegitimate children in the Mu Mansion, but Cui Daru did not think so.
Cui Daru believes that the root cause lies in the chieftain system.
Tusi were equivalent to emperors among the natives. They had a natural ability to control the natives. If this problem was not solved, the chaos in Yunnan could not be completely quelled.
Xiao Heng seemed to have realized something. He finally understood why Su Yao insisted on bringing Cui Daru to Yunnan. Cui Daru was indeed a treasure.
