Chapter 56: A Cruel Hand

These days, Lei Wentong has been restless.

Provoking Wang and Su Tianran is the best way, but unfortunately, it has no effect, until Su Huawen, Wang and Su Tianran left Pingyang Fucheng, there was no news. On the contrary, Ling Lei Wentong What is worrying is that the Su family's land in Pingyang Mansion was actually allocated to Su Tiancheng's name.

This shows that his plan failed, or Su Huawen and Su Tiancheng noticed it.

Lei Wentong originally looked down on Su Huawen, and they all did business in one place. After so many years, Lei Wentong knew exactly what kind of abilities Su Huawen possessed.

It never occurred to him that Su Huawen didn't move.

After some analysis, Lei Wentong believed that Su Tiancheng had seen through his scheme.

One plan failed, Lei Wentong thought of another strategy, that is to unite some big households in Pingyang Fucheng to deal with Su Huawen, or Su Tiancheng collectively. Su Huawen went to Taiyuan Mansion to do business, so what does it have to do with them?

The magistrate Weng Tongzhang met Su Tiancheng, which made Lei Wentong nervous. If this continues, it won't take long. Su Tiancheng rises, and his family may not be able to deal with it.

Right now, Su Tiancheng is still in the process of development, and there is still a chance, so he must do it.

The safest way is to nip the danger in the bud.

Lei Wentong's experience is also unusual. His ancestors have always been in the city of Pingyang Prefecture. In Lei Wentong's hands, the business has become very large, and he is one of the largest households. For a period of time, he almost monopolized the export of grain from Pingyang Prefecture. Business.

With luck, everything went smoothly, but in a few years, Lei Wentong's nephew passed the examination, and his three sons became veritable scholars. If it weren't for the quota limit for entering the Imperial College, he would have sent all his sons to the Imperial College. , Silver is not a problem.

Lei Wentong is cautious and bold. He is cautious because he is always paying attention to the outside world. He is bold because he dares to seize every possible opportunity and never allows threats to exist.

Su Tiancheng has become a huge threat. His son Lei Fangui and Su Tiancheng had a falling out. This may not be a big deal, but he went to the Su Manor, taught Su Tiancheng a lesson, and later provoked the relationship. spoiled.

In his opinion, the relationship with Su Tiancheng is already a life-and-death relationship, and such a threat can absolutely not exist.

After serious consideration, Lei Wentong made up his mind to let Su Tiancheng disappear from this world completely.

Thinking of making a move, he had to find out all the situation. Qu Qingze went to the Su Manor, and he went to investigate, but there was no news at all. It seemed that Qu Qingze was not a big shot.

Now that he has decided to do it, there is not much politeness to say.

To do such a thing, Lei Wentong can't come forward, nor can he do it in Fucheng. If he offends the magistrate, the Lei family can't bear it.

Not only that, Lei Wentong thought more deeply.

It's best to find an opportunity when Su Tiancheng is out, so that he can fully understand the relationship, and no one can think of himself.

Money can make ghosts turn the millstone, as long as you can spare the money, don't you worry that no one will do it.

The opportunity came quickly, and Su Tiancheng actually went out for a trip.

Lei Wentong quickly dispatched the most effective nursing home, followed behind secretly, until Su Tiancheng and others left Shanxi and entered Henan.

The nursing home of Lei Mansion was originally made up of various people. Some people knew that there was a team of rogues between Pinglu, Shanxi and Luoyang, Henan, with a small number of people.

Dazed, Lei Wentong actually dispatched a nursing home to contact this team of rogues.

The negotiated silver was 1 taels. The task was to kill Su Tiancheng and everyone who traveled with Su Tiancheng. The corpses were buried deep. Don't let anyone know about it, and let Su Tiancheng disappear for no reason.

Lei Wentong was overwhelmed by anger, and all he could think of was dealing with Su Tiancheng and the Su family, no matter what the price was.It's a pity that he made a huge mistake, which was to contact the rogues.

Even if you contact bandits, the nature is different. The imperial court divides into three situations for those who collude with thieves. Collusion with Hou Jin is the most intolerable. The family members issued the soundtrack.The second is collusion with bandits, which is also a felony. After it is found out, it is the same as beheading, and the family members will be assigned, but the family members will not be assigned to the music register. In the end, it is collusion with bandits. This is an internal conflict, and it is much easier to deal with. , You can even pay out money, but in the end nothing happens.

It's not that Lei Wentong doesn't know the rules of the court, but he's just in a daze.

After contacting the rogues, Lei Wentong didn't think about food and drink, he just waited for the news, and at the same time paid attention to the situation of the Su residence. If Su Tiancheng went home directly, and it proved that things were not done well, he should send 1 taels of silver and get it back. letter.

After waking up, Lei Wentong also felt afraid, but he thought that Su Tiancheng was just a poor-faced scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, so he must have no way to survive. There are 300 rogues. Tiancheng couldn't bear it.Moreover, the letter was also written in the identity of Lei's nursing home, so the problem is not too big.

After the [-]th day of May, Lei Wentong has been paying attention to the situation of the Su Manor. According to the time calculation, the rogues should have made their move at this time. His own nursing home is still inside the rogues, waiting for news.

On May [-]th, Qu Qingze arrived at the Su residence.

Wang Dazhi stood guard outside the study, and no one was allowed to enter.

Su Pingyang waited outside the moving yard, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Brother, everything has been investigated. The guard sent troops to wipe out the gangsters. Fortunately, the news was received in time. The gangsters were caught off guard, and most of them were wiped out. The biggest achievement, what do you think?"

Su Tiancheng had already expected that Qu Qingze was going to do this.

"Brother, tell me quickly, I can't guess."

"Haha, look what this is?"

Qu Qingze took out two letters.

"In it, one is a letter from Lei's nursing home to the rogues. The meaning is very clear. Take your life, of course, including mine. All those who travel with me, don't even think about surviving. The asking price is 1 taels of silver."

Su Tiancheng's face became very ugly.

"The other letter is the confession of Lei's nursing home. You can't imagine that Lei Wentong actually sent a nursing home to wait for news in the rogue's den, and we captured him alive. All of this was planned by Lei Wentong. of."

A sneer appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"If you harm others, you will end up harming yourself, big brother, you shouldn't just talk about it."

"Well, what do you mean, I don't understand."

"What I mean is, you shouldn't let the nurse of Lei's family say that the purpose is to kill me."

"Haha, brother, I can't see it, you are really scheming, am I so stupid, Lei Wentong is thinking of killing me, I will be polite, the nursing home is according to my rules What I want to say is that Lei Wentong has been colluding with the bandits for a long time, and last year the bandits invaded Pingyang Mansion, and they have a huge relationship with Lei Wentong."

Su Tiancheng nodded with a smile, Jin Yiwei has always been able to do such things with ease.

"Brother, Lei Wentong is completely finished. Don't talk about him, even his three sons have lost their fame. I'm still wondering if his nephew, who is in charge, has to bear some responsibility."

Su Tiancheng really didn't think about the scope of this kind of involvement, how could Lei Wentong's nephew be involved in the problem.

"Brother, since Lei Wentong wants to take your life, I think I should give you some compensation."

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"The Lei family must have been confiscated. Needless to say, such a large merchant's family has wealth. According to my estimation, it is at least a million taels of silver. You didn't think that you could get some from it."

"Brother, you are just joking. Confiscation of Lei's family is a matter for the government. How can I interfere? Besides, all confiscated properties need to be registered and calculated clearly. I just want to If you want to get some, there is no chance."

Qu Qingze smiled.

"Brother, you have always been shrewd, why have you become so honest, let me figure out a way to help you, no matter what, we are all brothers."

Su Tiancheng quickly began to think, there are not many such opportunities, since Qu Qingze is willing to help him, why not do it, even if he wants to break up with Qu Qingze, there is not much possibility, the two of them Killing five people at the same time is considered to know the basics, and you can get gold and silver, such a good thing, you must not refuse it.

"Thank you, brother."

"Hehe, tell me, how much compensation do you want?"

Su Tiancheng gritted his teeth.

"It takes 1 taels of gold. Since Lei Wentong wants to buy my head with 1 taels of silver, then I will ask for 1 taels of gold as compensation."

Su Tiancheng thought that he had already asked for too much. 1 taels of gold was 10 taels of silver. The ancestors of the Su family had saved it for so many years, which was 1 taels of gold.

"Brother is too polite, I don't have much appetite. According to my thinking, it's much more than that. Brother is a person who does big things and needs silver. But you have already spoken. As a big brother, I must help you. Double the amount, 2 taels of gold, with this gold, you can do a lot of things.”

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, dumbfounded, his own appetite was big, and Qu Qingze's appetite was even bigger.

Poor Lei Wentong, still waiting for news in the mansion, he has no idea that Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze are already calculating his property at this moment.

Now, even if Lei Wentong knows the news, he has no chance to make a comeback.
