stepson

Chapter 8

It has been more than half a month since I arrived in Su Garden, and Su Zhaoxue remembered that he had sold Su Shihui and the others to become ministers for so long, and he hadn't gone to the capital to inquire.Not knowing if they were found, decided to go and see what was going on.

After smearing the medicine powder on the face a few times, the appearance changed drastically.He used the method of disguise and make-up in his previous life. The medicine powder was prepared for him by an expert who taught him martial arts.After explaining to Ming Bao, he quietly left Su Garden early in the morning.

He dressed up as a weak, white-faced scholar with an ordinary face, and he looked like a passerby.At the entrance of Sanyuan Village, I found a carriage to deliver goods to the capital, and gave the groom some money to go with him.

It was already noon when we arrived in the capital, so Su Zhaoxue went to a restaurant to order some food, and listened to the conversations of the diners while eating.His status in the Hou Mansion was embarrassing, and he didn't make any friends when he was studying in the Su Clan School.No one told him what happened in the capital, for this reason, Su Zhaoxue often wandered to various teahouses and restaurants to inquire about the news.

In the Jin Dynasty, the folk customs were open, and scholars and common people had the habit of discussing political affairs.Speaking of which, the current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of five, and has been in power for 41 years now.There are five of his princes who are adults and three who are minors.The current Empress Yuan of His Majesty has no sons and died more than ten years ago.Since then, His Majesty the Emperor has never established a queen, so there is no direct son today.The eldest prince and the third prince of the court are the most powerful, and they have reached the point where they dare to fight in court.According to rumors, His Majesty wants to make the eldest prince the crown prince.

Su Zhaoxue said that His Majesty is able to be emperor from the age of five, and has been in office for 40 years, so he is obviously a very capable person.I have never heard of any illnesses in your Majesty's body, and it looks like you can live another 20 years. Now that the crown prince is established, he is obviously a badass. No emperor wants to see his son become too powerful. His Majesty the Emperor wants to balance the court. Get a target.Whoever has the most limelight now will end up in a worse situation. Don't you see that Kangxi played his sons to death, and none of them ended well.

"Have you heard that the third son of the eldest prince's family has been missing for more than ten days. Whoever dares to kidnap the grandson of the emperor is really impatient."

"Hey, the eldest son of Marquis Wei Yuan and the eldest grandson of Uncle Chang Yuan are also missing together with the third son. The kidnapper under the emperor's feet is too courageous. I heard that His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to solve the case immediately. If he is caught, he will be exterminated." His nine clans."

"According to gossip, they disappeared in the building outside the building. Wen Guogong's grandson was with them that night, but he was not kidnapped. I really don't know what's wrong with it."

"That's not true. If Wen Guogong's family was not the mother's family of the Yuan Empress, I'm afraid His Majesty would have accused him of it."

"Wen Guogong is more than 70 years old, and he still knelt outside the study room for an hour, what a pain."

When Su Zhaoxue heard the news, he was in a bad mood. He thought that Su Shihui was with only two rich men from noble families, but he didn't expect that there was also a grandson.This matter actually got to the emperor, it seems that it will not be good, do you want to run away?No matter how good his martial arts is, he would not dare to go against the court.

Thinking of this, Su Zhaoxue couldn't eat anything, so he recruited the waiter to pay the money, and then hurried out of the capital.Halfway along the road, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, he thought maybe he didn't have to flee to the end of the world.

At You hour in the evening, a young man was lying in the woodshed in the backyard of a family in the west of the capital.The young man's body was covered with bruises all over his body, and blood was still flowing between his legs. The young man stared at the roof with a pair of lifeless eyes. The lofty aspirations for a bright future were all in vain because of last night.

A drop of tear silently slid down his cheeks, let him die like this, if people find out, his father will definitely be criticized, not only will he miss that position, but he will also shame the entire royal family.Die silently is the best ending, but he is not willing to die like this!

"My lord, let us go in and give you medicine." Su Shihui and Uncle Chang Yuan's eldest grandson Xie Ji asked cautiously outside the woodshed.

In just half a month, the two of them lost a lot of weight, and they no longer had the arrogance and confidence of the nobles of the aristocratic family.The deep-rooted family glory made them dare not reveal their identity and background. Even if they did, the vulgar and daring old bustard might kill them to silence them.

Before this, they never knew that there is such a frightening place like purgatory in the world. Even today, they still can't figure out who would dare to sell them here.

After a long time, a weak voice came from inside. "Go away and leave me alone for a while."

Su Shihui and Xie Ji looked at each other, each sighed sadly, and stood where they were.The two of them had been taught here for a few days, but they were afraid and dared not resist any more, and obeyed the old bustard's arrangement, completely losing their dignity.But the third son, Song Bingrui, vowed to die, and was tortured to the brink of death by whipping and starvation. The madam kept him for two days in fear of losing money if he died, and threw him to a guest with special hobbies last night.

Su Zhaoxue sneaked into here secretly, found the backyard, and saw Su Shihui and Xie Ji standing outside a house.Seeing that no one hit their acupoints with stones to stun them, he dragged them to the side and put them away.Then I looked in through the crack of the door, and saw the people inside were tortured and bruised all over.

Seeing that the people inside looked like they were going to die, Su Zhaoxue didn't feel guilty at all, if he didn't take action to teach these people a lesson first, he might end up worse than them.None of the three is a good thing.In Beijing, it is widely rumored that the eldest prince's third son, Song Bingrui, loves young children. In one of his private houses, all children under ten years old live. However, some people say that the eldest prince likes young children, and he helped the eldest prince to raise them.

Uncle Chang Yuan's eldest grandson once took a fancy to a down-and-out scholar and robbed him, but the scholar did not commit suicide in the street.Because the scholar had no power and power, his body was swept up by a piece of grass and thrown into a random grave.

Su Zhaoxue pushed open the door and knocked him out with the same technique.How to steal them from the building outside the building, how to steal them from here in the same way.Take them to the carriage by the back door, and feed each of them a little sleepy pill.

Su Zhaoxue had already stepped on the spot. There was an empty house in the alley not far from this gentleman. I heard that the owner's family was prosperous and bought another house in the north of the capital, and planned to sell it here.He moved the three of them to the wooden couch in the inner room, covered them with quilts, left some silver on the table and left.

These three people have prominent identities. After releasing them back, for the sake of their family and their own face, they will definitely not tell what happened to them. Instead, they will try their best to calm the matter down.This is why Su Zhaoxue is confident.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the man you have been watching." Fan Changkong had just received the news and immediately reported it to Prince Bei'an's son Shang Xuanlie.

"Oh, what's the matter, they were found?" Shang Xuanlie raised his head from behind the desk and asked casually.

"No, it was Mr. Su Zhaoxue who stole him again." Fan Changkong said, "Shadow Twelve, who was monitoring him, reported that he went to eat in a restaurant in the capital in disguise early in the morning, and he may have heard it." He was afraid that the matter of kidnapping someone would be exposed. He hurriedly left the capital, but who knew that he turned to the family of the Xianggong when he got halfway, and stole him out after dark, and put him in an empty house nearby. "

Shang Xuanlie tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "From the fact that he dared to sell his stepbrother, this person is not a coward. He let him go this time, I am afraid that he wants to calm down the matter. As long as As soon as those three people find out, they will definitely try to smooth this matter out. After all, it is not something glorious. This kid probably only found out today that he sold the emperor's grandson."

"This old man thinks so too." Fan Changkong stroked his beard and sighed, "This son is bold and scheming. He knows that the person he betrayed is the emperor's grandson, so he doesn't panic at all, and he can think of a way to make up for it. My son, Su Zhaoxue has no relatives, and is not close to his own mother, he is brave and resourceful and does not fear imperial power, do you want to recruit him."

"Observe for a while, if we rashly try to recruit him, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion." Shang Xuanlie said.

"Having said that, the son can get acquainted with him first." Fan Changkong said.

Shang Xuanlie thought for a while and said, "Then please arrange it, sir."
