Wang Xiaohan and Jiang Zhiqing had similar expressions on their faces. They looked at each other under the candlelight as if they were looking at ghosts. They knew that the Wang family and the Jiang family were safe at the moment, but they still couldn't help but feel a little palpitated.
Everyone knew that Wang Yue or Qian Wubing had to deal with several other people, but they did not expect that the other party would move so quickly and strike so harshly.
Today is the tenth day of November. The day they met Wang Yue was the sixth day of November. It was only five days. No matter how much help the Xu family had in Beijing, even the letter had not yet been delivered to Beijing! As for Nan
In the officialdom of Zhili, under the power of Wang Yue and Qian Wubing, no one would dare to speak for the Xu family at this time!
For such a charge as "liaison with traitors!" Even the officials of the Xu family who have been fed with money will have to think hard about it before they want to speak. If they are not careful, they may be responsible for the death of their entire family.
It’s a matter of riding in!
"Didn't it mean that the Xu family and Wei Guogong's family still have some relationship? At this time, Wei Guogong will not look at the old relationship and try to pull them out!"
Under the light, Jiang Zhiqing muttered to himself, and seemed to be telling Wang Xiaohan that outside the room, the guards of the two families were waiting outside, and there was no tense atmosphere. Today's meeting, it is said that several people in the city
Everyone knows that no one will disturb you at this time.
"Everyone in the world may rebel, but the emperor will not be suspicious of Duke Wei. Otherwise, he would not have handed over Nanjing to his family to guard it for generations!" Wang Xiaohan shook his head: "If we really have an old relationship with Duke Wei,
None of these things will happen. Since the officers and soldiers are involved, it means that the Duke of the country has acquiesced in this matter. Whether the Xu family has a way to survive depends on how they are doing in Beijing. In Nanzhili, they are
Don’t count on it anymore!”
"Right now, it's just a charge of collaborating with thieves, not treason. If the Xu family is really cruel, they can throw out a few scapegoats, and then spend a lot of money to find a way in the capital, and they might be able to pass this hurdle!"
"He is a traitor now, and he may be plotting rebellion in a few days!" Wang Xiaohan shuddered, thinking about what happened in the past few days, his heart felt chilly.
The posture of Wang Yue and Qian Wubing didn't look like they were going to let the Xu family go. They had resorted to any means of frame-up, subjugation or subjugation. This series of actions, if they were said to be impromptu, she would not even kill Wang Xiaohan.
Believe it. Moreover, she was very sure that even if the other party did a little more, the Xu family would be unable to recover. Unless their aid in the capital did not jump out, if he did, it would be "death".
Thinking about how many families complained about Sihailou at the beginning, and how the Xu family's letter inviting them to other families vaguely hinted at an alliance to deal with Sihailou, even now the Wang family has decided to turn to the "peaceful" Jin Yiwei Dai.
The commander gave the order, but she still felt very uneasy. They regarded Sihailou's Sihai fleet as an obstacle, and Sihailou did not regard them as such. The problem was that Sihailou had guards with knives in their hands, and that
They have extremely solid backers, and apart from their necks, they only have some paper and pens.
"Miss, Mr. Su is here!" A guard outside whispered.
"Please come in, Mr. Su!" After sorting out his mood, Wang Xiaohan stood up. The door of the flower hall opened gently, and a scribe in his fifties walked in from the outside. In the yard, the guard he brought was talking to Wang Xiaohan.
Several familiar guards greeted me in low voices.
"Uncle Su!" Wang Xiaohan called out and looked behind him: "Is it just Uncle Su? Where are the others?"
"I alone am enough!" The scribe was Su Juanyun, the head of the Su family. When Wang Xiaohan heard this answer, she immediately understood that Su Juanyun's visit this time was not only a representative
The Su family also represents the other families. As expected, they have a tacit understanding.
In fact, this is not a strange thing. Just like the good relationship between the Jiang family and the Wang family, where there are people, there is a circle, let alone such a big family. It is just a bit strange, which seems to them who do not know Qian Wubing's conditions.
Come on, Qian Wubing's series of actions against the Xu family will most likely fall on them. This is almost a life-and-death situation, and they are actually willing to let Su Juanyun represent them.
Su Juanyun looked at Wang Xiaohan and Jiang Zhiqing with unfriendly eyes. Obviously, he came prepared.
"Tell me, Wang Yue and Qian Wubing, what are their conditions!" He sat down and said directly: "When you invited the four of us, your master must have given you clear words! Could it be that a
Can the Xu family satisfy their appetite?"
"Uncle Su, if you say that, we won't be able to talk anymore!" Wang Xiaohan has never been a light-hearted person. Calling the other person "Uncle Su" is a courtesy, but the other person's words are so loaded with gun and stick.
Yes, she won't live through it.
Su Juanyun glanced at her, as if he had just met her, and nodded slowly after a while: "Okay, for the sake of calling me uncle, I will talk to you well today, but it will not be clear in the future!
"
"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Wang Xiaohan lowered his eyelids: "Uncle Su, does he know why the Xu family has encountered these things in the past few days, and we still don't know the outcome?"
"Isn't it just blocking their Sihailou's way of making money? I know this, you know it, and everyone knows it. It's bad luck for the Xu family to be operated upon by them!"
"Yesterday, Mr. Chen Jingwen, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qiandu of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, was worried!" Wang Xiaohan said: "This is news that everyone knows. However, the news that everyone does not know is that this Mr. Chen Jingwen and Chen are in the Xu family.
Under Xu Zihou's instigation, he wrote a pamphlet, which greatly praised and criticized the current affairs in Nanjing!"
Wang Xiaohan suddenly talked about a seemingly unrelated topic, and Su Juanyun just listened quietly without saying a word, knowing that there would be something to follow.
"The 'illegal' behavior of Sihailou in Nanjing is of course the focus of Mr. Chen. As for the maritime transactions that we are concerned about, he did not mention that the imperial court's maritime ban is there!"
"Then what?"
"Everyone guesses that the eunuch Wang Eunuch has some benefits in Sihai Tower!" Wang Xiaohan raised his head: "That's right. Sihai Tower, indeed the Eunuch Wang has a share. Not only the Eunuch Wang has a share, but also the Dai Wang and the Marquis of Dingyuan.
, Qingyuan Marquis, An Ding Bo, Wu Yuan Bo, Ping Yang Bo, and other fourteen clans and nobles also have a share!"
Su Juanyun's expression changed a little.
Wang Xiaohan glanced at him and then continued: "This is not all the members, but only half. The other half of the members..."
She pondered for a moment: "Uncle Su, do you still remember that there were rumors that Sihai Tower was related to the palace?"
In Wang Xiaohan's eyes, Su Juanyun has always been a very calm person. Under the light at this moment, she could clearly see that the other person's lips were trembling slightly: "You mean...you mean..."
Wang Xiaohan nodded: "Yes, this rumor is also true. Half of the people in Sihai Tower are supervised by internal officials!"
She sat down and looked with her big eyes at the head of the Su family, whose face was turning green and white as if in a dyeing workshop: "This is what Uncle Su said, and what my masters told me. I just relayed it to Uncle Su as it is.
After listening, I don’t know whether Uncle Su believes it or not!”
