Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 29: When you go out, you give your identity to yourself!

The second floor.

Wang Susu came out after hearing the noise, looked at the departing figure, and murmured the poem softly.

The wild and domineering spirit displayed in this poem is vividly displayed on the paper. Just reading it once gives people a feeling of superiority over others.

Especially the last sentence, "The whole city is covered with golden armor", adds a bit of murderous aura.

In a trance, it seemed as if an army of war was coming towards us, which was daunting.

"The poem is good, but the author is quite crazy. This poem will soon spread throughout Chang'an City..."

Wang Susu smiled, as if she had thought of something, her face turned cold and she proudly puffed out her chest.

pawpaw?

pawpaw??!

Why should I use it?!

After walking out of Nishang Tower, Su Chen took Sun Qiang and others and walked towards the area where Hu merchants operated.

Now we can roughly conclude that the gossip we heard before was true.

In order to keep his beauty in a luxurious house, Wei Daijia spent a huge amount of money to redeem Miss Xu from Nishang Tower and placed her in the house purchased by White Glove Wang Quan.

If one wants to use this incident to bring down Wei Daijia, the most crucial point is Hu Shang.

As long as it is confirmed that the money Wei Daijia used to redeem Miss Xu was extorted from the Hu merchants, then Wei Daijia will definitely be dismissed from his post this time.

Even Wei Ting would be implicated and could not escape the charge of failing to educate his children properly.

Things went much more smoothly than expected.

Su Chen shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at the strangely dressed Hu merchants in front of him.

The clothing of these Hu merchants is very distinctive.

Some wore black felt hats and clothes similar to Hanfu, while others wore forehead ornaments and a red robe with white outside and red inside.

At a glance, you can tell that these people are not Han people.

If someone is wearing Hanfu, you need to get closer so that you can judge the other person's identity by their appearance.

"Sir, these Hu merchants operating in the West Market are outsiders. Even though they are often bullied by officials, they dare not speak out."

"This matter concerns Captain Wei. If we want to follow the same method and find out that Captain Wei accepted bribes, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Seeing Su Chen staring at Hu Shang not far away, Jin Yong thought for a moment and expressed his opinion.

Since they were doing business under someone else's roof, it was reasonable for them to pay some money to smooth the relationship. If they didn't know what was good for them, why would Wei wait for the price to be offered? With just one word, they could no longer stay in Chang'an City.

Su Chen smiled and tapped his palms, "Who said I was going to do the same?"

"Who are we?"

“…Ordinary people.”

After thinking seriously for a long time, Jin Yong gave an answer hesitantly.

Su Chen is not an official, and neither is he. Although among their companions, Sun Qiang is a guard of the Eastern Palace, it is naturally impossible for him to use this title.

Otherwise, once you get involved, it will be hard to explain clearly.

"Wrong, from now on, I am a distant relative of the Wei family."

"what?"

Jin Yong was stunned.

Sun Qiang was surprised and asked, "Mr. Su, didn't you say before that you were the son of a wealthy businessman? How come you have become a distant relative of the Wei family now?"

Snapped!
Su Chen tapped Sun Qiang's head with the folding fan in his hand, "Today, I will teach you a job."

"what?"

“When you go out, you give yourself an identity.”

"...?"

Sun Qiang and the other man looked confused.

But Su Chen opened his folding fan with a swish and walked slowly towards Hu Shang's shop.

The two hurried to follow.

"Hey, sir, what do you need?"

The shop owner spoke fluent Chinese, greeted Su Chen, and shouted, "Spices, jewelry, etc., whatever you want, I have it here."

Su Chen took a quick look and found that this shop was similar to the grocery store in later generations.

There are a wide variety of brightly colored gems, uniquely shaped ornaments, and spices with exotic fragrances.

Su Chen pointed at a few rubies that looked of good quality with the folding fan in his hand, as well as a bracelet engraved with Buddhist scriptures.

The shopkeeper was delighted and hurriedly wrapped it for Su Chen, "What else do you want, young master?"

"And that's all."

Su Chen shook his head and waved at Jin Yong, who stepped forward to take over.

"A total of one tael of silver. Thank you, sir."

"money?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of displeasure on his face, "Do you know who I am? I take your things to give you face!"

"what?"

The store owner was confused.

Seeing Su Chen turning around and about to leave, the shopkeeper hurried forward to stop him, but was kicked to the ground by Su Chen, "Listen carefully, I am a relative of the Wei family. Captain Wei, do you know? He was the one who asked me to come."

Shopkeeper: “…”

"Walk."

With the folding fan opened, Su Chen walked away with a swagger.

After this operation, Sun Qiang and the other man were completely dumbfounded.

"Sir, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

Sun Qiang scratched his head, "Aren't we just taking advantage of the power of the tiger?"

Su Chen smiled and looked at him without saying anything, but Jin Yong pondered and said, "Young Master, you want to anger these Hu merchants. If so, have you ever thought that after this matter is exposed, you will be implicated?"

"will not."

"Why?"

"You'll know in a few days."

Su Chen grinned and said, "Let's go, next one, don't be polite to me, take whatever you like, the Wei family will pay for it."

Sun Qiang and the other two: "..."

Looking at Su Chen's leisurely back, Sun Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to follow the young master."

Jin Yong: “???”

Sun Qiang patted Jin Yong on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to spend money to do anything. You will soon fall in love with this feeling. It's wonderful."

Jin Yong: “…”

In Hu Shang's shop, Su Chen and the other two made some refreshing purchases for free.

Give money?

What money should be given?

I am from the Wei family. Do you know how related Captain Wei is to me?
do not know?
You're lucky, kid!

After all these operations, Su Chen returned with a full load. By the way, he asked Jin Yong to use the tribute he received from the Hu merchant to redeem the two girls, Hongyan and Qingcui.

On the way back to the Prince's Residence, Jin Yong brought the two girls and blocked Su Chen's way, "Sir, they must see you." The two girls looked at each other and bowed, "Thank you for redeeming me, and I am willing to offer myself to be your slaves and maids."

Su Chen waved his hand, "If you two sisters hadn't told me before, how could I have escaped the assassination? Helping you two sisters to redeem themselves is just a small token of my gratitude. As for becoming slaves or maids, it is not necessary."

"If you have nothing else to do, take the money and leave this troubled place, find a family to live in peace."

"Sir, wait a minute."

Hongyan called Su Chen, bit her lip, and whispered, "Sir, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Su Chen nodded, followed Hong Yan and walked to one side.

Hongyan: "I know that the young master doesn't like us sisters. This trip to Nishang Tower is just to find out about Wei Duwei and Sister Xu."

Su Chen looked calm and said nothing.

Hongyan continued, "I have taken care of Sister Xu for a period of time and have a pretty good relationship with her. I know that Sister Xu is not attracted to Captain Wei, but she has no other choice."

"I once heard Sister Xu mention that if she didn't obey Captain Wei, he would send someone to kill her entire family."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, Hongyan stepped forward and lowered her voice, "Wei Daijia once accidentally killed someone and buried him in a wild forest outside the city. He dug a piece of bark from the trunk as a mark. I heard that it was Wei Ting who stepped in to resolve the matter."

Done.

Hongyan and Su Chen pulled some distance apart, smiled and saluted, "I thank you again for redeeming my body. We two sisters will leave Chang'an by car at dusk. If we are destined to meet again in the rivers and lakes."

"Thank you, sister Hongyan, for being frank."

Hongyan and Qingcui smiled and waved their hands, then left together.

Sun Qiang and the other man stepped forward, their gossip burning, "Sir, what did Miss Hongyan say to you?"

"Jin Yong, gather your friends now and go to the wild forest outside the city to look for the body. There is a piece of bark missing from the tree trunk where the body was buried."

"Yes!"

"This……"

Sun Qiang was stunned.

Is there any unexpected gain?
Return a favor?

That cute girl...

Return to Prince Residence.

Li Chengqian and Yu Zhining were dumbfounded when they saw what they had pulled back.

Is the silver sent from Taizhou for you to squander like this?
"Hey, what a coincidence."

Su Chen took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian: "???"

When he was seriously ill before, Your Majesty had invited Popo to pray for him and recite sutras many times, so much so that he is now overwhelmed by seeing these things.

Yu Zhining asked curiously: "Brother Su, what's this?"

Su Chen: "Of course it's a gift for his son. Do you want it?"

Yu Zhining: “…”

Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, "Thank you."

Su Chen waved his hand, "You're welcome. We went to Hu Shang's place today and bought a lot of goods. You can take a look and take anything you like."

Li Chengqian held the Buddhist beads, his heart bleeding: "How much of the silver sent by Taizhou is left?"

"That silver is useless."

"Then these..."

"They were all given by Hu Shang."

"...?"

Li Chengqian and Yu Zhining looked at each other.

Was it given by Hu Shang?

There are many valuable items in it. Would the Hu merchant give them away easily?
Do you think all Hu merchants are fools?

Easy to bully, right?

"Just now, I borrowed the name of Wei Daijia and went around Hu Shang's place..."

Su Chen briefly explained the situation and sighed, "Compared to your title as the crown prince, his title is more useful."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Yu Zhining: “…”

"Brother Su, have you ever thought about how badly this matter will affect you and the Eastern Palace?!"

Yu Zhining looked grim.

Wei Daijia could enrich himself and rob people by trickery, but they couldn't.

Don’t even touch it.

it's good now.

Su Chen used the name of Wei Daijia to launch a wave of zero-yuan purchases, which directly offended those Hu merchants.

Once Hu Shang files a lawsuit, can Su Chen get away with it?

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Chengqian put down the Buddhist beads and said in a deep voice: "I think Brother Su should have a plan!"

Yu Zhining frowned and looked over.

Su Chen put away his smile and sat up straight, his expression somewhat serious, "Now comes the key point."

Yu Zhining: “…I’d like to hear the details!”

"At the morning court tomorrow, the imperial envoy will impeach Commandant Wei of the Left Thousand Oxen Guard for taking advantage of others and robbing tens of thousands of silver from the Hu merchants. He will redeem Miss Nishanglou and place her in a house in Huaiyuanfang."

Li Chengqian and the other man's eyes lit up, but they soon frowned.

This alone is enough to get Wei Daijia dismissed from office, but as for Wei Ting, how big the impact will be depends on his position in the emperor's heart.

"Impeach Wei Daijia for killing someone and hiding the body in the wild forest outside the city. Impeach Wei Ting for being a counselor but failing to enforce the law impartially, for being partial and corrupt, and for helping him conceal the matter!"

hiss!
Li Chengqian and the other man widened their eyes.

This……

This is a big deal!

"Brother Su, is what you said true?"

"The first one is true, and the second one is murder and hiding the body. I have ordered Jin Yong to lead people to investigate!"

Su Chen smiled and leaned back, leaning his back against the cushion, picking up the teacup, "Yu Changshi, you said Hu Shang wants to sue, is it me or the Wei family whose house collapsed?"

"Of course it's the Wei family!"

Yu Zhining blurted out.

Once all the evidence is complete and the Wei family is convicted, no one will care whether Su Chen is a distant relative of the Wei family, an illegitimate child, or something like that.

They will only beat the Wei family hard after they fall into trouble and take back what was previously taken away by the Wei family!

Even ten or a hundred times more!
At this time.

Jin Yong was delighted and ran in hurriedly, "Sir, I found it!"

"We not only found the body, but also the royal power that previously purchased the house!"

"Very good, the rest is up to you two!"
