Chapter 3 Noble
Sun Xiumin was about to get off the slope and gently uncover the matter.

Before she could speak, Qin Ruizhi shook her head and said Yingying: "Old Mrs. Su not only didn't understand that it's easy to ask the gods but it's difficult to send them away, she even forgot that back then, the Gao family, which had a heavy army, had power over the world, and a family of five tiger generals, collapsed. It was destroyed in the hands of a woman."

Mrs. Su felt like a bolt from the blue, and the past slowly came to mind.

At that time, Gao Chengming, the grandson of Gao's family, took a fancy to a girl and kidnapped her on the street and brought her back to his mansion, hoping to make her his concubine.The woman was bullied and desperately escaped from Gao's mansion. She went straight to the Kyoto County government office, beat a drum to complain about her injustice, and sued Gao Chengming.

It also happened that the county lieutenant at that time was jealous of evil and was selfless. He took the case and arrested Gao Chengming on the same day. Following Gao Chengming's vine, he also found out that he was greedy for military pay, invaded fields, took human lives, bullied men and dominated women, etc. It was a heinous thing, and then the indestructible ship of the Gao family collapsed at a devastating speed.

And it all started with a woman beating a drum at the Kyoto County government office to express her grievances.

Mrs. Su broke out in a cold sweat, her body trembled slightly, her voice was inaudible, "This is a serious matter, I want to discuss it with the master."

The Gao family is not a good person, so can Su Yiling be a good person?
The Gao family was corrupt and perverted the law. Could it be that Su Yiling was a good official who was diligent and caring for the people?
They are all the same dirty stuff, no one is nobler than the other.

Qin Ruizhi was confident of winning and said calmly, "Don't be anxious. After all, Master Su's future is related to us and we need to discuss it carefully."

Mrs. Su's resentful eyes were like knives, she wanted to cut Qin Ruizhi into pieces with a thousand knives. She looked at her one after another before leaving, then stepped out of the threshold to discuss with Su Yiling.

………………

"She really said that?"

Mrs. Su conveyed Qin Ruizhi's words to Su Yiling, who was a little surprised.

Strictly speaking, among the four sons of the Gao family, only Gao Jinying is a pure and good person. Only Gao Jinying was not involved in the numerous crimes discovered by the Gao family back then.

In the past 20 years, he stayed in Puzhou and served as his county magistrate. He worked hard and raised Heli's sister and niece without complaining.

But the niece raised by such an impeccably good person would actually run away with others and engage in blackmail.

"Yes, he is indeed Gao Zhiying's child." Mrs. Su said angrily, "It's true that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Like mother, like daughter."

"Gao Zhiying..." Su Yiling called this name softly. It had been a long time since she heard this name. "Since Qin Ruizhi does not seek marriage but only wealth, then give her 1 taels of silver."

"Master..." Mrs. Su almost thought she heard wrongly, "That despicable and shameless boy wants 1 taels of silver, not 1000 taels, nor 100 taels."

"Madam, a small impatience will mess up a big plan. Don't let a small loss lead to a big loss. Although your Majesty issued a secret order to transfer me back to Beijing, the official appointment has not been received. Now is a critical period for my recovery, so I must not create extraneous matters. Since Qin Ruizhi is seeking wealth, That’s as she wishes.”

Qin Ruizhi's identity is very special. On the surface, she is Gao Zhiying's daughter after her divorce. Her father does not care about her, and her mother does not care about her. She was raised by her fourth uncle and four aunts, so she is considered a dependent.

But her father was Qin Lianghui, the captain of the prison gate, guarding the most important gate in the imperial city, and her eldest uncle and second uncle held high positions.

The position of the left prime minister is vacant, and there are many people watching.If Qin Ruizhi really exposes the Gao family and goes to the Yushitai to complain, and the Yushitai impeaches Su Yiling, and people with ulterior motives use this to make a big fuss, it will be difficult for Qin Lianghui and Uncle Gao not to be caught up in it and stand on the opposite side of Su Yiling. At that time, Su Yiling would be surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if the emperor wanted to favor him and promoted him to the position of prime minister, he would have to consider it carefully.

As for the future...it's not too late to settle accounts after the fall.

"But..." Old Mrs. Su was in a dilemma, "The government can't afford so much money at the moment."

Su Yiling's ancestral home is in Puzhou. He became a Jinshi scholar at the age of 16 and then became an official. Later, his family moved to Kyoto, and all the properties and family properties they purchased were also in Kyoto.Puzhou also only has an old house with three entrances, a few acres of fertile land and a few scattered shops. These properties are far from enough to collect ten thousand taels of silver.

If you want to transfer money from Kyoto, it will take many days to go back and forth, and the nights will be long and you will have many dreams, which can easily lead to unintended consequences.

Su Yiling paced with her hands behind her back, "Then go to Pei's house to borrow it."

........................

"Sister, are you joking, right? You don't really want to blackmail the Su family for 1 taels of silver, do you?" Gao Lingchu pulled Qin Ruizhi's sleeve and said timidly: "Didn't you hear Mrs. Su say, Mr. Su?" When he wants to be the prime minister, it’s too late for others to curry favor with him. If you blackmail him like this, aren’t you afraid of him taking personal revenge?”

Qin Ruizhi looked at her and smiled, "Achu, don't you think that if I don't blackmail, the Su family won't retaliate?" They all want revenge anyway, so why not take the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Ah?" Gao Lingchu was confused and whispered: "How is it possible? Mr. Su..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard messy footsteps approaching the side hall. He expected that it was Old Mrs. Su who was leaving and returning. Gao Lingchu hurriedly kept silent and stood next to Sun Xiumin, keeping a distance from Qin Ruizhi.

Mrs. Su walked in, and Sun Xiumin and Gao Lingchu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Old Mrs. Su didn't care much, and winked at the nanny beside her, who then walked a few steps forward, shook the banknote in her hand, and said coldly: "Miss Qin, this is 1 taels." The bank note is a commercial note from Peijia Guanglitong, it is convenient to hold..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and the banknotes in his hand flew out and fell all over the floor.

If you want to take the banknote from the Su family, you have to kneel on the ground and pick it up.

Mrs. Su's face was cold and gloomy, and she remained silent.

This was clearly meant to humiliate her. Qin Ruizhi looked calm and smiled slightly, "He is too old and useless, so why not bury him in the ground as soon as possible."

Then he lifted his leg and hit the old woman's kneecap.The old grandma groaned, her legs softened, and she knelt down towards Qin Ruizhi.

Qin Ruizhi Yingying said, "Then there is Grandma Lao."

The old grandma looked at Mrs. Su, full of grievances.

Mrs. Su looked stunned, wrinkled with anger, and was about to get angry, but Qin Ruizhi was gentle and calm, and said leisurely, "It's a pity that the future of Mrs. Su and Su Pan has been thrown to the ground like this. It's really worthless."

This is a threat.

After Qin Ruizhi received the money, she would naturally not go to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto to complain.If she didn't want to accept the money, she would definitely make a big fuss.

She didn't want to pick up the money thrown on the ground.

Old Mrs. Su's hands trembled slightly and she scolded in a cold voice: "Vulgar old woman, the older she gets, the more useless she becomes. She can't even hold a banknote. Why don't you pick it up quickly and bring it to Miss Ruizhi with both hands?"

The old grandma endured the pain in her legs, knelt on the ground, picked up the banknotes one by one, numbered them neatly, put her hands in front of Qin Ruizhi, and handed them over steadily.
