Chapter 107 Second Life
Su Mo smiled slightly, his burning eyes like a child with a strong desire for knowledge.
She looked helpless and continued, "If the Su family wants peace, don't think about sending the girl to marry into the royal family. The battle for the throne among the princes has begun. If the Su family loses the bet, the family will be confiscated and exterminated.
My grandfather fled to the capital to avoid the battle for the throne. The emperor is in his prime, and it is too early to tell who will win. The Su family should live a down-to-earth life and not get close to any prince in the capital.
For the Su family, if the bet is right, it is just icing on the cake; if the bet is lost, thousands of lives will be lost, and the entire clan will be wiped out in the blink of an eye."
She had said this in sufficient detail.
Su Mo frowned slightly, "From what my cousin has seen, which prince has a better chance of winning."
The strength of each party is unknown. If you want to talk about the chances of winning, do you know how strong each party is? This chess game is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zhen Su ate a dessert and slowly stood up. "I am a girl in seclusion. It is ridiculous for me to talk about the world. It is better to practice calligraphy and draw a few pictures in my spare time."
"The Su family is a great family in the south of the Yangtze River. Cousin, you should restrain your words and deeds. There are twelve branches of the Su family, and three of them are legitimate branches. Nanjing is the eldest legitimate branch, Fuzhou is the third legitimate branch, and Lu Province is the second legitimate branch. The descendants of the Su family are spread all over the world.
Fifty percent of the silk business in the world belongs to the Su family, thirty percent of the pawnshop business belongs to the eldest son of the Su family, thirty percent of the tea business, thirty percent of the grain business, and twenty percent of the restaurants business.
Cousin Mo, the annual income of the Su family is more than that of the national treasury. What I know, they know. The Su family is doing something very dangerous. You can no longer get involved in the auction house business. "
Each one of them doesn’t account for much, but when added together they make up a significant proportion.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Su family is the richest family in the world.
The patriarch of the Jiangnan Su clan also manages several other branches of the clan. If the patriarch and the young master had not given the order, how could my grandfather have worried about the official careers of the Jiangnan Su clan members.
Uncle Su Qi was already in turmoil. Why did Zhen Su know all this? She was not a girl from a noble family.
Su Mo asked: "Who told you this?"
Zhen Su said, "Don't ask me how I know this. The court's crackdown on the canal bandits is just the beginning. If they don't stop, the Su family in Jiangnan will be the first to be hit when cleaning up the local powerful families." She sighed, "Someone told me: The Su family should stop!"
Almost no one knows about the affairs of the various branches of the Su family except themselves.
But Zhen Su was able to list the order of each branch of the Su family in detail, which didn't seem fake.
Now she told Su Mo what Lu Yan said.
Who is that someone?
Who told her this?
Su Mo bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me, cousin. I will ask Uncle Seventh to go back to Jiangnan to deal with this matter."
Zhen Su took three packages of snacks from the table and said, "These are for me. I'll take them. Thanks!"
"The construction of Yaxianzhuang is going smoothly and will be completed before the New Year. Because of the assessment competition of the Noble Women's Society, it is now famous."
"Since you are famous, if you continue to do business well, 30% of the bonus is too much for me. 20% is enough."
"My cousin was very generous. Uncle Shao only took 30%."
"In the future, I will have to trouble my uncle and my fifth brother to take care of it. They deserve it." Zhen Su thought, "I have a batch of things from the palace. How about selling half of them to you?"
"I can also buy raw materials of pearls, South China pearls, and gemstones."
"Okay, I happen to be short of money. I'll notify Cousin Mo once I've sorted it out."
It's still business as usual, and everything is handled impartially.
This was different from what he had initially thought. The days when they had shared hardships and discussed calligraphy and painting on the boat were gone forever. This was not what he wanted. He wanted her to truly love him.
Su Mo was silent for a long time, "Cousin Wen Jiang doesn't believe me?"
Do you believe it?
It depends on what kind of trust it is. Emotionally, she believes that he has feelings for her, but in other matters, he may not tell her the truth.
Zhen Su smiled bitterly, "Where Cousin Mo believes in me, I also believe in you; where you don't believe in me, that's exactly where I don't believe in you."
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat. He believed in her feelings and believed that she loved him.
Zhen Su said leisurely, "More than thirty years ago, my great-grandfather and others agreed to let my grandfather set up another branch in the southern suburbs of the capital. They clearly agreed, but for more than thirty years, my great-grandfather still worked for the Jiangnan Su family repeatedly.
I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Jiangnan Su family and the Beijing Su family, but if the Jiangnan Su family wants to drag my grandfather and uncle into your power struggle, I... have to be on guard against the Jiangnan Su family."
They are on guard against the Jiangnan Su family and also against Su Mo.
The Jiangnan Su family took advantage of Su Jingzhai becoming the governor of Hunan Province to expand the Su family's business to Hunan Province. Even the two disciples of the Jiangnan Su family entered the officialdom and sought the positions of prefect and county magistrate of Hunan Province. How could she not think too much?
"There is no such thing as free food in this world. You have repeatedly contacted my grandfather and asked him to help, but you did not expect that your several approaches and contacts would expose the strength of the entire Su family to the eyes and ears of the Tongzhengsi and the court."
Su Mo and Su Qiye were both terrified of me.
Now that the Su family’s strength has been exposed, will they be suppressed by the imperial court?
Master Su Qi leaned forward, clasped his fists, and bowed: "Please give me some advice, Princess..."
"How can a girl like me give advice? If you really want to do this for the good of my grandfather and uncle, then don't bother them anymore in the future."
She learned about the Su family's strength from the Beggars' Sect and was shocked when she found out.
The rapid decline of the Liu and Wang families in Luoyang was similar to the situation of the Su family. The Liu family in Luoyang was the eldest and legitimate family, and the Wang family was also the eldest and legitimate family of the Wang family in the world. Although they seemed to be one family, they could actually command the Wang families all over the world.
The threat of the aristocratic families in the previous dynasty had been exposed as early as the time of Emperor Taizu of Qi and Emperor Gaozu of Qi. The two generations of emperors wanted to suppress the aristocratic families, but they were resisted by these families together. In the end, they had to give up for the sake of peace in the world.
Zhen Su handed the token of the third elder of the Beggar Gang in the capital to the second prince. Now Emperor Dezhi and the second prince knew the accumulated problems of the aristocratic families. The destruction of the Liu and Wang families in Luoyang overnight gave the father and son experience and means to wipe out the aristocratic families.
The two great families in Luoyang revealed their strength. The Su family was far away in Jiangnan and would not have revealed its strength. However, Su Mo appeared in Yueyang Mansion this time, and the fifth prince and Princess Changle also came to Yueyang Mansion.
Zhen Su narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand, "Chun Jiang, send Master Mo to the front yard!"
Chunjiang agreed.
This Zhen Su was different from what Su Mo had imagined.
Zhen Su sat in the pavilion, holding a teacup in her hand, smelling the fragrance of tea. She had been a human for three lifetimes, and she was now in her fifties or sixties.
In the first life, at the age of 28, his life came to an abrupt end; in the second life, he lived to be 23, and was thought to have died of illness, but later it was discovered that he had been given a chronic poison by someone sent by the Wan family; in the third life, at the present.
Traveling through time!
Reborn!
Possessing the memories of three lifetimes.
