The third lady immediately opened her eyes. She guessed what Su Ning was thinking, but she still couldn't believe it.
"It's impossible. The master will never do anything to rebel. He wouldn't dare. I know it."
Su Ningxin shook her head helplessly. She had seen many fine people in the palace, as well as many famous ladies. It was rare for someone who came from a noble family to be as stupid as the third lady.
"Xingyuan Mansion is hundreds of miles away from the capital. The Emperor only sees the evidence presented to him, and evidence can be forged. As long as the evidence is found from the Su Mansion, the Su family will be unable to defend themselves."
"Put the evidence in and take it out again," Su Ningxin lowered her delicate hand and then raised it, "very quickly."
The third lady suddenly slammed the table and stood up, which made Su Ning tremble in fear and look confused.
The third lady didn't notice, but just cursed loudly, "These people who killed a thousand people want to blame the Su family to absolve themselves of their guilt."
Seeing the actions of the third lady, the servants in the back hall fell silent, and then became more chaotic. Although they didn't understand the connection, they also knew that the Tea Transport Secretary had no good intentions, so they were naturally worried that they would succeed and signed the contract. For domestic slaves who are indentured, they will never end up well if something happens to their master's family.
The third lady stood up and strode outside, "This Su Mansion is the residence of the imperial court officials. There are so many soldiers in the mansion who are not just living for free. They can also let soldiers like them who have committed serious crimes be allowed to run wild."
Watching the third lady go to the front yard, the stewards and servants followed her out. The third lady asked each of them to hold a stick in their hands. In addition to the palace soldiers with swords in the mansion, there were also a lot of them.
"Let's follow over and have a look." Su Ningxin whispered to Shuanghua, and then the master and servant strolled to the front yard not far behind the others.
The third lady walked with dignity, listening to the footsteps behind her, as if there were thousands of troops going to the battlefield behind her, she felt confident.
When the third lady arrived at Mr. Su San's study in the front yard, her eyes were splitting as she looked at Mr. Su San's messy study. There were many correspondence and official documents between Mr. Su San and the capital. Not to mention that they forged evidence. After taking these away, I don't know how much dirty water I will pour on the Su family.
"Presumptuous!" the third lady said loudly, regretting that she did not beat out these officers and soldiers when they entered Su's house.
Those officers and soldiers who wanted to dig up the Su family's ground had already stopped what they were doing. The third lady and her group came over in great force. They had already noticed it and looked at the third lady with some vigilance.
A leading soldier stood up and asked, "Mrs. Su, what do you mean?"
The third lady had always lived in the back house. She shrank when she saw the cold eyes of the officers and soldiers. She took off her clothes when Su Ningxin beside her took a deep breath to strengthen her courage. Then she raised her head and said, "What do you mean? I want you to get out of Su." It means home.”
"Third Madam, we have official duties, so please don't interfere with official duties." The officer and soldier said, using his eyes to signal the soldiers around him to step forward and stop these people.
The soldiers on the opposite side gathered from all around, suddenly pulled out the sword from their waist and pointed it at the people of the Su family. The third lady saw the cold light of the sword flashing in front of her eyes, as if it was going to stab her at the next moment. She was so frightened that she took a step back and almost fell if Su Ningxin hadn't supported her.
"Who dares?" Su Ningxin scolded coldly, looking calmly and firmly at the commander opposite. The murderous and restrained eyes made the other party feel the pressure and subconsciously looked away.
Originally, Su Ningxin didn't plan to come forward, but looking at the current appearance of the third lady, it would be better if she didn't faint. If no one stepped forward, the Su Mansion would really be turned upside down today.
She hid the official tea in the Su Mansion in order to gain some credit for Mr. Su San, but she never thought about pushing the Su family into a pit of fire. It was not easy to find a suitable identity. She also had no idea about her current life. If you are satisfied, naturally you won't let anyone ruin it.
"I wonder what the commander's name is?" Su Ningxin asked after looking at his clothes. It was easy to tell from his attire that he was a commander.
"My surname is Gao." The commander didn't know what this person who looked like a boudoir lady was going to do, so he followed her words and wanted to wait and see what would happen.
"Commander Gao, if I remember correctly, the Commander of the Tea Transport Department, from the seventh rank, what kind of crime is it for a commander from the seventh rank to stab Madam Gaoming with a knife?" Su Ningxin looked at the other party playfully, with a very warning tone. obvious.
"Miss Su misunderstood, I did not assassinate Mrs. Su." Commander Gao immediately argued that he would never admit to such a crime.
"Oh? No assassination? Then who is your knife aimed at?" Su Ningxin pressed forward step by step.
Commander Gao rolled his eyes before giving the order, "Put away the knives. This is Su Zhizhou's residence. How could anyone interfere with official duties?"
Those soldiers put away their weapons as they were told, but Su Ningxin only sneered in her heart, "Isn't it obstructing official business if I don't let you know what I own?"
Su Ningxin turned to look at the row of government soldiers beside her, and said in a stern tone, "The master humiliates the servant to death. Are you just going to watch your master being bullied to his home and to his head?"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then immediately drew their swords and pointed them at the officers and men, reversing the situation half a moment ago.
Su Ningxin shook her head secretly. It had been a long time since the soldiers of the Su Mansion had encountered something that required action. They really had no sense of being a soldier at all.
Commander Gao's expression changed after being pointed at by the other party, "Miss Su, what do you mean? We are performing official duties."
Su Ningxin couldn't help but have a faint smile on her lips, "Is Gao Dutong telling a joke? Official duties? Who gave you official duties? Is it your fifth-grade director? A fifth-grade junior official sent someone to check on a fourth-grade official. How can there be such truth in the world?"
"Miss Su," Gao Dutong said sternly, "we were ordered to search after someone reported that official tea was hidden in Su's mansion."
When the third lady heard this, her face turned pale. Such a crime would make the Su family behead her. The hand holding Su Ningxin was shaking all the time.
Su Ningxin glanced at the third lady reassuringly, then raised her head to look at the other side and asked,
"Who reported it? How about asking him to come out and confront him, and explain clearly how and where the official tea was in the Su family, so that we can be convinced."
Commander Gao clasped his fists and said, "For those whose identities cannot be revealed, please forgive me, Miss Su."
Su Ningxin laughed as if she was angry, and her expression turned cold after laughing for a while, "I just don't forgive you!"
"Your Tea Transport Department randomly found someone out of thin air, and then led troops to search the Su Mansion. There was no evidence or conviction and they directly raided the officials' mansions. Even the Holy One today would not dare to do this. Your Tea Transport Department is actually a bit more domineering than the royal family. .”
