Chapter 183: Difficulty in Saving People
Those who don't know would think they did it on purpose, digging a big pit for them to jump into. As a result, as soon as they left, their entire clan was exterminated.
Su Mo has never been opposed to giving up the position of clan leader and young master because he knew there would be a disaster, and rather than letting the Jinling Su family be destroyed in their hands, it would be better to let someone else do it.
"Grand Commander, please think of a way to speak up for the Jiangnan Su family. There may be some who have committed heinous crimes and whose lives are at stake, but most of the Su family members are innocent."
The guilty ones implicate the innocent, and I just hope that no heinous crime will befall them.
The crime committed by the Yao family is unforgivable, and all the adult males were killed. As for the underage children who were exiled to the border, it is hard to predict how long they can live, and I am afraid that few of them will grow up smoothly.
Su Shilin was almost crying.
He is the clan leader and cannot watch his people die.
Yao was disappointed and now doesn't want to care about others. This time, all of Yao's dowry has been paid, and there will be no peace without money.
Yao Yun still had some money on hand, but she could only buy some farms and shops. Even if Yao Yun's dowry was large, it would not be more than 500,000 taels. This time, Yao Yun took the bulk of the 500,000 taels of silver notes given to the Supervisory Guard.
Uncle Su bowed repeatedly and said, "Please ask the Grand Commander to help intercede."
Su Jingzhai said, "All five of the Jiangnan Su family members who I recommended to join the government were convicted. The three who joined the government earlier were beheaded at the Caishikou where they were working, and the other two were also sentenced to death. I submitted a letter of apology and have been deprived of the qualification to recommend people to join the government. Do you think I can have a say now?"
Su Shilin didn't expect these things to happen.
It was the Jiangnan Su family that implicated Su Jingzhai.
Su Jingzhai had left the Jinling Su family more than thirty years ago.
He was originally from the third branch of the Jinling Su family. Because he was the eldest son, his stepmother and younger brothers regarded him as a thorn in their side. In order to ensure his safety, his father agreed to let him move out of Jinling and start a new branch. The current third branch old man was his stepmother's second brother, and he had no feelings for this second brother.
Su Jingzhai shook his head helplessly: "If it weren't for Su Su this time, the Su family in the capital would have been implicated."
He closed his eyes. Emotionally speaking, he was also a member of the Jinling Su family in his early years, but he had to tell them about the punishment he had received.
“The Jiangnan Su Clan is cold-blooded and ruthless. You may not feel it, but we, the people from the side branches, feel it deeply.
If there are benefits, you should recognize them as members of the clan; if something goes wrong, you should stand aside and watch, benefiting the main branch and harming the side branches.
All the people you asked me to recommend to the government are fame-seeking and money-seeking people with ruthless hearts and evil intentions.
Now that the direct branch of the Jiangnan Su family has been convicted, it is actually a relief for the side branches and offshoots of the Su family."
Su Jingzhai did not hide it.
It is a fact that he is dissatisfied with the direct line of descent.
Su Shilin didn't know that this was how he viewed the direct branch of the family.
If the direct branch of the Su family valued Su Jingzhai, they would strictly screen the people recommended by Su Jingzhai instead of letting the elders of the family force them into positions in the family by virtue of their status in the family.
Entering the officialdom is an opportunity for them to gild the reputation of the playboys.
He has little talent, but his ambition is as high as the sky and his ability is as thin as paper. When he takes office, he seems to be a little bit decent at first, but he will do evil after a long time. If Su Zhen had not warned him before, Su Jingzhai would have been framed by his clansmen and it would be difficult to save his reputation after falling into the trap.
"It's too difficult to save innocent people! Can you guarantee that none of them will commit a crime that will implicate the entire clan?" Su Jingzhai waved his hand. "If a clan wants to gain a foothold, they must serve as officials. I no longer have the power to recommend you. You all have to rely on your own abilities. You came to Yueyang to live permanently, which gave me a difficult task. I warn your clansmen to be law-abiding. Once you violate the law, don't blame me for being merciless."
I can’t help and I can’t help.
Su Jingzhai was implicated by them, and all five members of the Jiangnan Su family who had entered officialdom were killed, and then their entire clan was exterminated.
Su Mo clasped his fists and said, "Grand Commander, I wonder if I can meet Princess Jiarou."
"You can't see her. She is now working for the court and is busier than me. As April approaches, there are too many things for her to manage."
Su Jingzhai didn't want to care.
Su Mo said, "Thank you, Grand Commander, for your advice."
Su Jingzhai said: "Su Mo, you are not worthy of Jiarou. Today, I might as well tell you the truth: Jiarou is not only my granddaughter, but also the heirloom of the current emperor."
No wonder he said that Princess Jiarou had the say, because she was the emperor's daughter.
From the very beginning, Su Jingzhai knew all the truth.
Jiarou knew that the court was going to search the Su family because of her different identity.
Su Mo and his son were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time. Su Jingzhai would not talk nonsense about such an important matter.
"Since you are getting married and are about to become a father, you should give up the inappropriate thoughts. With Jiarou's noble character, she can have any man she wants; with her pride, she will not snatch someone else's husband.
A'mo, don't disturb her peace anymore. If the emperor knew that your sudden marriage nearly caused Jiarou to fall seriously ill and pass away, he would be the first one to not forgive you.
In front of Jiarou, the emperor is just an ordinary father. "
If Su Mo continues to pester others without knowing whether to live or die, someone will definitely want to kill him. To them, killing someone is as easy as killing an ant.
The emperor values Jiarou and also cares for her.
Jiarou was the emperor's neglected daughter, but the emperor never lacked the love that he should give to his daughter.
The emperor's pearl, a princess in name only, they were obsessed with her and believed the rumors, thinking that her personality was not suitable for being a royal wife. They were so wrong. If Su Mo married Jia Rou, even his future descendants would have royal blood.
Su Mo was so shocked by the news one after another that he couldn't recover.
She is a member of the royal family, so how did she become the emperor's daughter?
"If you want to be Jiarou's husband, you have to pass the emperor's test. I can't control her marriage!"
Su Shilin clasped his fists and said, "Sir, let us meet the princess. In the beginning, my wife and I forced Ah Mo to marry Yao Yun. We also tied him into the bridal chamber and forced him to marry in the wedding ceremony..."
"If you still say these things after meeting Jiarou, I'm sorry I can't agree. If you just want her to help save the innocent members of the Jiangnan Su family, I can introduce a few to you."
But he won't do anything else.
Su Jingzhai got the guarantee from the two and would not mention the past when he met Su Zhen.
"Come to the Grand Commandery at noon tomorrow. I'll let Su Shao take you to Baixian Manor to meet Jiarou."
"Thank you, sir!"
The three of them withdrew from the Grand Marshal's Office.
Passing by the study, you can see the glass windows over there, where the young men inside are studying hard.
Su Wulang, Su Sanlang, and Su Silang studied together; the slightly younger Su Qilang and Su Balang studied together.
Even from a distance, you can still hear the sound of reading aloud inside.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
*
I thought that after coming to Yueyang Prefecture, I would be able to be with the person I love, but now I know that if I missed him, I missed him. He is not worthy of her.
Su Shilin said, "Amo, you are our only son. If something happens to you, how will we live? Your child with Yunniang has not been born yet, and your mother has already made a mistake. Do you want to demote your wife to a concubine, or divorce her and marry someone else?"
No matter which one it is, according to Su Jingzhai, there is no possibility for him and Princess Jiarou to be together anymore.
