Chapter 227 Unreliable
"Su Wei?"
When the news from Wudaokou reached Zhao Xiaonian's ears, he couldn't help but frown.
The situation in Jiangnan Road is very complicated. I have never been there. Compared to my understanding of the Northwest, I have almost zero understanding of Jiangnan. How can I believe him?
Tang Bowen introduced: "Su Wei is the son of Su Congwen, the Jiangnan Road inspector. Now the news is that his daughter Su Yan was killed by Xu Ruxiong, and that Su Wei just wanted to avenge his sister."
"What is Su Congwen's attitude?"
Tang Bowen shook his head: "I didn't see any reaction from him, he didn't mention anything about Xu Ruxiong, but there are rumors in Jiangnan that Xu Ruxiong was killed by the Su family."
"How did you kill it? Have you found out?"
"It was said that someone died by a knife piercing his heart!"
"Um……"
Zhao Xiaonian fell into deep thought.
Tang Bowen frowned and said, "His idea is too naive. How could the queen be killed if he wants to? However... Su Congwen has been in Jiangnan Road for many years. The Su family has a great influence in Jiangnan. The salt, administration and shipping of the two Huaihe Rivers are involved. If the Su family can be recruited, it will be helpful to the stability of the Jiangnan side when they ascend the throne in the future. As long as Jiangnan is stable, Qingzhou and Dongzhou will be stable. From the seventeen provinces to the southwest, they can be stable. Otherwise, it will have to spend a lot of effort to reorganize the mess in Jiangnan at that time, and it will not be easy..."
Seeing that His Royal Highness did not express his opinion, he continued: "According to our information, Su Wei is impulsive and irritable, but he is also a hospitality and loves to make friends. He is also a famous gourmet in Jiangnan. He often travels with his friends all over the mountains and rivers and tastes delicious food. Speaking of which, his personality is quite similar to that of Xu Ruxiong, and he is also a moody person. It is said that they were drunk when they were in the mountains. Xu Ruxiong was obsessed with his sister and attacked his sister, which led to Su Yan being killed by him when he resisted. Later, in order to cover up, he said that Su Yan was bitten by poisonous insects and died of infection. However, since then, Su Wei had a falling out with Xu Ruxiong. Later, he reported the case that Xu Ruxiong was killed, and he also said that it was the assassin we sent."
“…”
Zhao Xiaonian lowered his weight and listened quietly, and didn't speak.
In any case, the current situation is obvious, especially the battle with the Xu family is about to rise to the top. At this moment, the people in the Prince's Mansion are already clumsy, and it is already very difficult to deal with the rebels. If they fight with the Xu family again, it will be even more laborious. At this time, foreign players just happen to come, which is a good thing.
Tang Bowen's mind is correct.
This Su Wei can at least help them restrain the Xu family.
However, Zhao Xiaonian still didn't want this. He lowered his head and asked, "Is that Su Wei also very lustful?"
"color?"
There is no news about this, and Tang Bowen doesn't know. After thinking about it for a moment, Tang Bowen shook his head and said, "How to look at this? The Su family came from a famous family and was an official of the five generations. They have a high reputation in Jiangnan. They should be self-disciplined."
"Um……"
Although hesitated, Tang Bowen was right. The Su family still had to fight for it.
"His sister..."
With his hand, Zhao Xiaonian's eyes flashed, and he signaled Tang Bowen not to mention it.
I am not a lustful gangster. Before I became the emperor, a large group of girls below could not stand the loneliness and ran to the palace, waiting to be his concubine. This...
Although it is great, it is not appropriate for a prince to get dozens of concubines out of a talent show. Even if it is a rotation of one day, it will take a month to get all the luck. This is really nonsense.
"How is Li Xiuyun doing?"
"It's still going on. His Jingzhao Mansion is arresting people every day, and the streets are in chaos, and many people dare not go out."
Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but frown. If he continues like this, he will probably be as Tang Bowen said. After infinitely amplifying his pessimistic emotions, he will become a pessimistic situation.
I wanted to expect Li Xiuyun to use torture to arrest the rebels as soon as possible to maintain public order, but instead had a counterproductive effect.
What should I do?
Zhao Xiaonian hesitated for a moment and said, "Let it go, let Li Xiuyun slow down. The autumn auction the day after tomorrow. Be prepared to not catch thieves all day."
"yes!"
This is also impossible. Since the last attack, these thieves have calmed down a lot. However, there are always a few elusive people who write big words on the wall or set off firecrackers on the street corners to scare people. Some people even use poisonous needles to attack the street patrol constables, which makes everyone in the capital dangerous, fearing that these guys will target themselves.
The thieves nowadays are simply using guerrilla warfare to fight them. They are really annoying and their scalp is numb.
The people dare not go out or go out. At the beginning, there may be people who stand in the perspective of the prince and support the prince to kill the rebels, but after a long time, they cannot go out to buy supplies or go out to work to earn money, and the taste of this matter will change. In this way, the people will inevitably start to complain, complain, and then escalate to resentment. Zhao Xiaonian is very clear about this and empathizes with it.
Therefore, this chaos must be resolved as soon as possible and cannot continue. However, the thieves are now indomitable and seem to have the spirit to play the game of catching mice with him! Although Li Xiuyun has tried very hard to control the situation, his methods are nothing more than high pressure, deterrence, and then using spies to capture suspicious people everywhere. This actually hits the enemy's thoughts and becomes Li Xiuyun creating white terror, making the people even more uneasy.
It is not easy to solve the current situation, but Tang Bowen's idea is correct. If you come to Su Wei, he will at least bite the Xu family like a mad dog, and will also create some space for himself to swim.
Nowadays, the thieves are becoming more and more unrestrained. There must be an invisible hand behind them to help them. Otherwise, why do these thieves know so much about the capital? After searching such a large place, why can thieves emerge one after another? Where did they hide?
This matter is worth thinking about, but the easiest thing to make people doubt is that the people of the Xu family hid the rebels?
Why?
Because only the Xu family is an official, they are the ones who are most resistant to searching.
According to the previous report, there will be Xu's family's houses around the place where the incident happened, which is very suspicious. However, without evidence, the matter can only be given up.
At this moment, Tang Bowen sighed and said, "For the sake of this, I would like to ask the emperor to issue an order as soon as possible to make Your Highness ascend the throne."
Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but feel sad, but then he fell down.
He was right, but the father was still afraid that as soon as he came up, he began to carry out reforms and make the construction mess. Wouldn't that be sorry for the ancestors of the Zhao family...
