Chapter 304 He Doesn't Have to Take Over

Mrs. Huang heard what Xu's words meant, and immediately cleared her throat, with a embarrassed expression on her face.

"Miss, the master is in the study. I heard that Miss is coming. Please go over and talk."

Ginkgo opened the curtain and came in.

Su Wei stood up: "The third aunt is talking with the wife, I will go first."

After leaving the door, the maid under the door was holding a tray, which contained a cup of soup, two snacks, and a pot of tea. She guessed it was for Su Shou, so she reached out to take it: "I'll take it."

After Su Shou washed and washed, his tired face faded a lot. When he saw Su Wei coming in, he asked, "Last night, Shizi Han took you to the basement. I heard that you chased the carriage to the mountains in the southern suburbs. You were not injured. Bar?"

"I have gunpowder in hand, and the imperial guards came very quickly, so there were no injuries." Su Luo put the tray on the case, saw the file under him, and said, "Is Fang Mei still alive?"

"It was about to die when it was carried down. Fortunately, the emperor had foreseen it, and sent the imperial physician to meet him halfway, and rescued him. After being in a coma for an hour or two, he has already woken up."

"This person really deserves death, but it's really not the time for him to die. Father," Su Wei suddenly slowed down, "After you finish interrogating him, can I go to see him in prison?"

"What did you see him do?"

"He said on the mountain that he had seen my mother. I asked him the details, but he said he couldn't remember. I think he was hiding something. But this is my private matter, our family affairs, and the cause of my mother's death has not yet been filed. , you Dali Temple shouldn’t be in charge of interrogation, right?”

Su Shou frowned: "Our Su family has never had any contact with the Fang family, and your mother doesn't like to socialize around, and the only ones who go around are those few families. He really has no reason to see her."

"So can I go?"

Su Shou nodded: "Jieshi, you listen to my arrangement."

"it is good."

A topic ended, and the room was a little too quiet.

It was the first time that the father and daughter spoke in such a calm manner since their reunion.

Su Luo poured him a cup of tea and said, "Father called me, do you have any questions?"

"Because the basement was stolen last night, the emperor issued an order in the morning to let the craftsmen speed up the progress to complete the reconstruction of the mechanisms. However, the craftsmen of Tiangong Workshop did not know how to open the several mechanisms that were touched by you last night after they arrived in the morning. So, you need to point out to them where you have changed."

Suddenly, Su Luo quickly picked up a pen and paper from the table and said, "I'll draw a picture for them."

Su Shou looked at her right hand, which was holding the pen neatly, and said, "Brother Qi, how is your skill training?"

"It's quite a hard work. I asked him to go through all the basic skills again. In the future, he will take over Tiangongfang. His half-baked skills will not work."

Su Shou picked up the tea: "It's not like he has to take over Tiangongfang."

Su Wei paused for a moment, then raised her head: "He is the eldest son, why don't you let him pick it up? Do you let brother Li pick it up?"

Brother Li is still in his infancy!Besides, Su Qi is also the first wife's son-in-law. Although she and the Xu family have a good relationship, but if he leaves Su Qi and does not stand up for Su Li, it is obvious that he is planting the root of disaster in the Su family.Besides, what is it called to spread the word?Does he still think that his reputation of being ungrateful and ungrateful is not bad enough? "

When Su Shou heard this, he said softly, "This is not urgent, let's talk about it later."

It looked like it wasn't worth worrying about at all.

Su Wei lowered her head and drew a few strokes, then suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then said, "I want to ask my father about something."

"What's the matter?"

"Last night, the fire came in a hurry. There was no sign that there would be trouble at the Defense Department, and there was no clue that Chang Wei wanted to target the Su family. How did my father think of reminding Han Shizi to beware of the Defense Department's accident at that moment? ?”

Su Shou stopped gesturing, stared directly at the table, and suddenly didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Luo added: "I heard that Han Shizi also got many things belonging to the Xue family in the other courtyard where Chang Wei was captured, that is, Xue Rong, a cabinet scholar who was overthrown by Chang Wei more than two years ago. They got it from there. It is very different from what was presented to the court at the time, and my father had already served as Shaoqing in Dali Temple at that time, you should know about this matter, right?"

Su Shou responded slowly: "I know."

"Then, was Xue Rong killed unjustly?"

Su Shou suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her: "Whether it is an unjust killing or not depends on the emperor's decision, not our decision. Even if the evidence is in front of you, you and I can see it clearly, there must be an imperial edict recognized by the world." Let’s make a conclusion.”

Su Wei stood up: "But doesn't father want to help Xue's family rehabilitate?"

Su Shou's eyes were dark: "Why should I help Xue's family to be rehabilitated?"

Su Luo was speechless.

In the past, he kept his secret about Xue Rong and kept the matter of condolences for Xue Rong firmly hidden, so that now, except for her, no one in the Su family knows that he still has entanglements with the Xue family. She can understand that it is because Xue Rong is "Rebel", the Su family can't afford this kind of trouble.

But now with the arrest of Chang Wei and the publicity of those belongings of the Xue family, the whole world is full of sighs for the Xue family. Even in the palace, the emperor has been continuously calling for his courtiers since the fifth watch. It can be seen that Everyone has made up their minds about this matter, and they can say it openly, but why does Su Shou still keep the Xue family secret?
"The water in the court hall is deep. Don't think that if you see a fish, you have already touched the bottom." Su Shou retracted his gaze and looked out the window, and his voice was very slow, "If you want to be rehabilitated, someone will come to rehabilitate. Our Su family is just doing our job. They are officials and merchants. The Xue family and the Su family have nothing to do with each other, even if it turns out to be an unjust case, we are two families who have never met before."

Su Luo stared at him blankly, the ink on the nib of the pen was all over the blueprints under her hand, but she didn't notice it.

"...This brat! White-eyed wolf! See if I don't break his leg!"

The scolding from outside the window disturbed the father and daughter in the room, Su Shou frowned: "What's going on?"

"It sounds like the second uncle is scolding!"

Su Luo probed to look, then put down her pen: "I'll go and have a look."

What happened last night, Su Yan didn't know until this morning. First of all, the first news was that Chang Wei was arrested. On that day, Su Shou called Su Yan to the study, saying that Su Zhen wanted to enter the camp through Chang's family to practice. At that time, he was furious. Although Su Zhen was accepted into the mansion as an adopted son, the Su family treated him with conscience, but Su Shou told him not to worry, so he held back and said nothing. Where can I bear it?

He was in the yamen in the morning, and listened to the rumors for a long time. Before he could leave the yamen, he rushed back.Without further ado, he called Su Zhen back from the school, held up the whip and whipped him up.

When Su Luo came over, Su Zhen had already knelt on the ground and had been whipped several times, blood oozing from his back under the silk clothes.
