Chapter 363 The next one is Zui Xiang Lou
It's quiet at night.
Gong Yuanzhi and Madam Gong sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting.
Gong Yuanzhi suddenly discovered that a figure seemed to be climbing over the wall and coming in from outside.
Gong Yuanzhi immediately became alert.
He protected Madam Gong behind him and watched the figure climb over and enter the bushes.
The grass rustled.
Suddenly Su Rou popped out.
Gong Yuanzhi was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"General Gong."
Gong Yuanzhi looked frightened.
"You scared me to death, kid."
Su Rou had a pure expression on her face. "What are General Gong and Madam Gong doing here? Why were they scared by me just passing by?"
Passing by?
"Who climbed over the wall instead of leaving the door open?"
Su Rou took a step and came out from the bushes.
With the help of the light, Gong Yuanzhi discovered something was wrong.
Her light blue dress was stained with black blood, as if it had dried on it.
Gong Yuanzhi said, "Who did you fight with?"
Su Rou walked straight up to Gong Yuanzhi, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.
"No, who can fight me?"
Gong Yuanzhi also walked over and sat down. He picked up the hot tea and said, "That's right."
"I killed a few people and framed them."
"Poof! Cough cough!" Gong Yuanzhi couldn't hold back the hot tea that was already in his mouth and it sprayed out directly.
"Who did you kill? Did anyone see it? Who did you frame again? Did you clean up the mess?"
After facing several questions in a row, Gong Yuanzhi was worried that someone would trace the matter back to their Gong family.
Su Rou was calm and composed. "Don't worry, I won't leave any handle for others to use. But I think they will probably guess it..."
Gong Yuanzhi said, "Do you want me to help you silence it? Since you've already done it, it should be done cleanly. Cut the grass at its roots."
Su Rou put down the empty cup in her hand and asked, "Why don't you resist now?"
Gong Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant.
"I've said before that I support you and Yu'er's relationship, but you two both like to act first and ask for your permission later. Even if I resist, even if I'm worried that the Gong family will be implicated, it's better for me to join you and help you. Then, when I'm old, I won't have you two gossiping about me."
Madam Gong sat aside and smiled softly.
Su Rou said, "There's nothing I can help you with. I have to say something unpleasant, General, you are too old to help me now."
After she said this, Gong Yuanzhi's expression became obviously lonely.
Su Rou added, "If you really want to help, then protect Madam Gong and the women of the Su family. My father has returned, but I can't tell you where he is now. What Gong Yu and I did was for your own good. Don't try to stop us. That's enough."
Gong Yuanzhi has been in the court for many years, how could he not know what Su Rou meant?
only……
Gong Yuanzhi said, "I understand, let it go."
Su Rou nodded.
Gong Yuanzhi also felt that it was not easy for the two of them to get to this point.
He couldn't have imagined it.
Su Rou and Gong Yu were really planning a rebellion.
Su Rou drank a belly of tea and went back to rest.
On the second day, the news of the massacre of the Yuan family spread to every street and alley.
The cause of the incident was that a commoner passed by the gate of Yuan Mansion and saw that the gate was open and did not take it seriously.
But the white jade wall at the door was covered with blackened blood.
The commoner was feeling strange, so he stuck his head over to take a look inside, and was frightened by the scene before him.
This matter reached the Shang Mansion.
Yuan Wen, who was having breakfast with Shang Jiu, changed his expression drastically after hearing this.
"Yuan Wenfu is dead?!"
Shang Jiu said, "Yes, His Majesty summoned officials to investigate this matter early this morning. I was wondering, were they people you hired?"
Shang Jiu was summoned to the palace before his leg had healed, which shows how much His Majesty values the massacre of the Yuan family.
Yuan Wen frowned, "I left the Yuan family, how could I have any money?"
Shang Jiu probably thought what she said made sense.
Shang Jiu said, "If you did it, I will keep it secret for you, but don't hide it from me."
The merchants of the Yuan family usually don't like to show up in public.
Yuan Wenfu has only been the head of the family for less than a year. Who could he possibly make an enemy of?
Yuan Wen had no intention of continuing to eat.
Could it be that Rourou helped her get revenge?
Why did Rourou kill everyone in the Yuan Mansion? Will His Majesty and Shang Jiu find out about Rourou...
After all, Rourou had just returned to the South Country not long ago when this incident happened.
Yuan Wen grabbed Shang Jiu's hand and said, "I hired someone to kill him."
Just take all the responsibility on yourself.
As long as Shang Jiu and His Majesty can't find anything on Rourou, that's all that's fine.
Just do whatever Rourou wants to do.
Shang Jiu was stunned and frowned. "Didn't you just say you didn't have the money? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Besides, you're not that kind of person. If you want to protect someone, it's okay to tell me. She helped you, and I won't deal with her."
Yuan Wen shook his head. "I didn't take any money out of the Yuan family to hire someone to kill someone, but the money you gave me over the past year is enough. I hired someone to help me hinder His Majesty."
As he spoke, Yuan Wen's voice even trembled.
Shang Jiu held her hand and said, "Okay, don't be afraid."
Su Rou pinched a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She lay leisurely on the eaves, looking at the sky with white clouds.
There is a lot of commotion outside today, and people are staying at home and dare not go out.
The old man ordered the Censorate to conduct a thorough investigation into the massacre of the Yuan family.
The Censorate, a department that supervises and investigates major officials in the court.
But Yuan Wenfu was not an official in the court.
Because Yuan Wenfu's death affected that old man's interests...
She was just speculating, but she didn't expect that Yuan Wenfu was really related to that old man.
Su Rou choked on the pastry in her mouth.
Straighten up and sit up to breathe smoothly.
Now that Yuan Wenfu is dead, the other members of the Yuan family should find Yuan Wen and have him take the position of head of the family again.
However, before Yuan Wen goes back, she has to cause trouble for the Yuan family as soon as possible, otherwise all the trouble will become Yuan Wen's.
The next one is Zui Xiang Lou.
Su Rou jumped down from the eaves.
To deal with Ah Si, we cannot simply compete with him in force.
Before she returned to the South, she asked the old woman for a nice toy.
Night falls again.
The Zui Xiang Lou is brightly lit.
Today is just an ordinary auction.
Su Rou grabbed the eaves with one hand, picked a window she liked and swung in.
Su Rou fell to the ground and couldn't help frowning.
There was a strange fragrance in the room, as if some incense was lit.
This is a study room, with the four treasures of the study placed on the shelves.
Su Rou reached out and took the inkstone down from the shelf.
nice one.
It's easy to hit people.
Outside the door, a row of maids carrying food walked under the eaves.
Their shadows fell on the window frames.
After the last person walked over, Su Rou checked the surrounding environment.
She blocked the mouth of the last maid who had nothing in her hands, dragged her into the room and was about to kill her, but she was stunned.
Was this maid's face burned by fire?
There was a burn scar on half of his face, one of his eyelids was melted, and his eyes were one big and one small, looking at her with horror.
Su Rou gritted her teeth, put away the dagger, and knocked the maid unconscious.
What the hell is this place? This maid is already so miserable, yet she is still being exploited?
Su Rou couldn't bring herself to do it.
She thought that all the people in Zuixianlou were evil people like Asi.
Su Rou changed into a maid's clothes and walked out of the room dressed as a maid.
This would allow her to find out what was going on inside Zui Xiang Lou.
Su Rou looked around and found that the interior space of Zui Xiang Lou was very large.
Where is the man named Asi?
"What are you standing there for?! Why don't you come here quickly?!"
Su Rou looked in the direction of the voice and found that the other person was talking about herself.
"I?"
"Who else could it be? The master is coming today, why don't you go and get ready? What are you wandering around here for?"
The other person was a woman wearing rouge and powder. With her already gorgeous facial features and the rouge and powder, she was a first-class beauty.
Su Rou couldn't help but frown. Aren't all the girls in Zui Xiang Lou filled with faces like those of the maids?
He looks so bossy, as if he is the master here.
The woman's clothes were exactly the same as the maid's.
Su Rou remembered that she had not been discovered because of the scar on her face.
Su Rou said, "Where should I go?"
