There are many houses in Chang'an City, either because of the decline of their family fortunes or because they have been sent out to serve as officials. Many houses are bought and sold every year.
The next day, Su Ce did not go to the East Palace, but rode a horse to find Li Chang. Not every place in Chang'an City was prosperous.
In the prosperous age, there are many bones, and pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, rushing to make a living. Among the upper levels of Daqian, there are people who are in the right position of corpses, but most of them are squeezed into corners of power and will only die in two or three generations.
The process of self-cleansing of one's own group by noble officials is far more cruel than others imagine. If they do not want to be discarded as a weight in the battle, they must let their value be cherished by the chess players.
After Su Ce met with Li Chang, he didn't mention the mole cricket. He just said that Baiguo Niang could increase production in a timely manner. As for who to sell the prolific Baiguo Niang to.
Su Ce left it alone and left it to Li Chang. In fact, the person from the Sovereign Mole Cricket disguised himself as a businessman and approached Li Chang just to get a share. After getting the recipe of Baiguo Nang and the method of brewing high-alcohol wine, Mole Cricket suddenly had a way of making money. Already.
But Li Chang was not a fool. The Su family seemed to be short of money to buy land to build a village in Nanshan, or to buy land to build a mansion in Chang'an City.
Li Changying decided to expand production. He had to make preparations to buy more fruits in May and June, otherwise there would be no fruits in Baiguo Niang and he would not be able to make wine.
After meeting Li Chang in Chang'an City, Su Ce returned to Shizhai Mansion. At this time, Su Ce felt that someone was staring at him.
Su Ce did not look around while riding on the horse, nor did he try to find a place with many people to get rid of him.
Now that the fish is hooked, all we have to do is wait for an opportunity to lift the rod.
Returning to Shizhu Mansion, Su Ce saw a very ordinary one-horse carriage parked at the entrance of the government office. There were not tens of thousands but thousands of such carriages in Chang'an City.
The Shili Mansion is located in the imperial city, or all the official residences of Daqian in Chang'an. Except for the government offices in Wan Chang'an and Chang'an, the other yamen are all in the imperial city.
The feeling of being watched just now disappeared when Su Ce entered the imperial city.
In addition to the officials in the imperial city, there are also the Nanya Forbidden Army. If the crickets could have spies in the imperial city, the cadres would have been in chaos long ago.
However, many people in the Nanya Forbidden Army don't know that they have been found out by Molecule. After all, if people want to live, they will always make friends, and many people are friends with Molecule.
The second prince Zhao Zaixiao has been waiting in Su Ce's room for a while.
Standing inside the door were two peony guards wearing brocade robes with peony patterns.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Ce saw the usually mysterious Peony guard standing inside the door. The second prince had arrived earlier than Su Ce thought.
"We met again. I heard that you made the prince very angry last month. Well done! Haha..." the second prince Zhao Zaixiao said jokingly.
The corners of Su Ce's mouth twitched. This second prince was more mysterious than outsiders thought. He seemed frivolous. However, after getting in touch with the second prince Zhao Zaixiao, he found that this second prince had talents that were no less than the prince's. The superficial frivolity was just a disguise. , this is not a kind of self-protection.
The fourth prince is a saint, the prince is virtuous, the second prince is smart, the third prince is steady, and the fourth prince is gentle.
This is Da Gan Shilin's evaluation of the four princes. Su Ce has only been in contact with the crown prince and the second prince. He is also very curious about the third and fourth princes in the south. Of course, Su Ce does not dare to underestimate any of them.
As smart as a demon, the second prince joked a few times and saw Su Ce's dull temper. He felt bored and stopped teasing Su Ce. He sat on Su Ce's case and looked through the neatly arranged papers. Documents.
Two Peony guards in brocade clothes pulled Su Ce to explain the matter.
Third-grade purple robes, these peony inner guards passed down purple robes. Everyone knows that Daqian is enshrined in the palace, but they don't know that there is a peony inner guard on it.
Su Ce knew that he had heard a few words before, so he was very respectful to the two Peony guards in front of him.
"General Su, we have spent more than ten years in Chang'an, and we have basically found out. The Chang'an Molecule has the overall power of the Molecule. As long as this group of Molecules is eliminated, the Molecules will continue to be in chaos, so General Su must not let go. Leave one person alone to prevent him from resurrecting." Straight to the point, the two Peony guards quickly explained the follow-up matters clearly.
The two of them spoke in detail. Secret battles are more cruel than battlefields. The Peony Guards have buried no less than 500 hidden stakes for more than ten years. So far, only less than ten people can be contacted. As for the people who cannot be contacted, , I am afraid that something unexpected has already happened.
"Understood. Tomorrow my housekeeper will go to discuss the cooperation with Mole Cricket about the Baiguo Brewing. On the day of delivery, I will personally lead the family nursing home to Yongpingfang. The Brigade Army still needs to make arrangements. Don't worry, you two!" Su Ce frowned. To be honest, he really doesn't want to involve his family members in this.
But since Mole Cricket has chosen Su Zhuang, he must have figured out the situation in Su Zhuang, and it is like a thorn in his back. How is it possible that the Peony Guards do not know that Mole Cricket is investigating Su Zhuang?
But this is the rule of the game. To deal with the cancer of the empire, sacrificing an earl's house is a very good deal.
If Su Ce was the person behind the scenes, even a marquis would be willing to do it.
To be honest, Su Ce would like to thank the prince. It was the prince who allowed Su Ce to join the game. Otherwise, Su Ce would have no idea if he did not join the game. It is not impossible to choose someone else to deal with it. But in that case, will the Su family still exist in the future? Gods and ghosts are unpredictable.
"Do your job well and take a good two years' rest afterward. You will have your place." The second prince, Zhao Zaixiao, couldn't say much. Could it be that telling Su Ce that his Suzhuang was a bait for their connivance?
Su Zhuang has made huge profits from hundreds of fruits, but no one has dared to make any ideas in the past two years. This is abnormal in itself, and it is not that no one has reached out, but the outstretched hand was interrupted by the Peony Guards, in order to one day let Su Zhuang Baiguo became a bait.
Now Suzhuang has to pay back the asylum he has received in vain over the past two years.
Su Ce understood that the pie did not fall from the sky. When the minced fruit stuffing was sold in Chang'an City, he should have realized that he was hooked on the fishhook.
Su Ce sent the second prince and the two Peony guards to the ordinary carriage. At the same time, the Shizhu Mansion also started moving late at night.
Six guards from the Sixth Army outside the East Palace returned to the Tenth Palace late at night. Su Ce had no position, but he had the Golden Tiger Talisman of the East Palace.
"The second prince will be assassinated in a few days. Don't worry, don't worry, this is just a show." Su Ce saw six guards standing up in the middle of his words and explained quickly.
"Oh, you should have told me earlier, oh, you scared me!" Jiang Lan joked as she and Su Ce were close.
However, when Su Ce asked the six of them to come late at night, it was definitely not a matter of relationship. He had something very important to give.
"Order, soon after the assassination of the second prince, Liu An from the left Qing Dynasty will jointly lead the 500 brigade to stay in the East Palace of Wei to protect the prince, and Xiang An from the right Qing Dynasty will lead the palace of the Sixteenth Prince of Wei. Pay attention to people who go out at night, and do not alert the snake. Wait for a few days later to have a drum war in the drum tower at night. Sound the sound, take these people down, if they dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy!
On the ninth day of April, the guard general of Yanping Gate was replaced. On the tenth night of the tenth day, the left and right commanders and the left and right commanders led two thousand troops. They were brought out from the Beiyuan Camp on the second watch of the day. They were divided into ten batches, one mile apart. If there were any
If no one comes, all the rebels will be punished. Walk to Yanpingmen and sneak into Yonghefang one by one before the fourth watch. After that, Chang'an will be under martial law for ten days. During these ten days, they will lurk patiently and use the war drum as a signal to surround Yongpingfang. Remember
, Don’t make any noise or talk on the way, supervise each other to prevent the leakage of information, and keep an eye on each person to death.”
Su Ce sat at the main seat in the hall and said to Jiang Lan and the other six people.
"There are beggars, homeless people, as well as the officials and guards of the Sixteenth Guards in Yonghe Square, and bad people. These people will inevitably leak the news. General Su asked me to sneak in at night. If the news is lost, this move is probably inappropriate.
Come on!" Yan Boqing, the newly promoted guard leader on the right, waited until Su Ce finished speaking, then raised his own objection.
"I have already thought about this. My family was going to buy land and build a mansion in Chang'an City. In the next few days, we will buy Yonghefang and the people in it will be moved out of Yonghefang." Li Chang is quite spoiled these days.
Either there are people living in the suitable area, or the asking price is too high, and he can't make the decision, so he should record these clearly first and let Su Ce make the decision.
After explaining everything, Su Ce put on a black robe and returned to the East Palace. Prince Zhao Zaicheng's scolding sound suddenly sounded in the night, and the prince drew his sword and chopped Su Ce.
The next day, news came out from Chang'an City that Su Ce, the leader of the East Palace, had offended the prince. If it hadn't been for the thick armor on his body and the obstruction of Jiang Lan, the young prince of Qi State, Su Ce might have been hacked to death by the prince in front of him last night.
Early in the morning, many people saw Su Ce leading his horse out of Chang'an City with a lonely look on his face. They saw Su Ce's embarrassment and were also seen by people on the road.
The frustration on Su Ce's face was not disguised. The armor he had just repaired entered the East Palace and was covered with sword marks.
Thinking of last night, the prince took the sword and made sword marks on himself while shouting: "Su Ce, you are so angry that I am angry. I will kill you, a traitor and traitor." Su Ce.
I don't know that this is the prince's "revenge" on himself.
Seeing the prince's expression of joy after the incident, Su Ce could only laugh or cry. This prince really didn't suffer at all and took the opportunity to avenge the resentment he had caused him by shirking himself last time.
But this drama is not over yet, it has just begun.
