To borrow an old saying: If the Su family stamps their feet, the entire Shuizhou Kingdom will tremble.

However, such a huge family collapsed a year ago. Almost overnight, the Su family was accused of treason and the entire family was executed.

It is said that the emperor was so angry that he fainted for three days because when he searched the Su family mansion, he didn't find anything valuable, only an empty house.

When Ji Xingzhi heard the eunuch say that the Shuizhou Emperor had fainted from anger, she laughed unkindly. Well, she could understand why the Shuizhou Emperor fainted from anger. He had undoubtedly coveted the Su family's wealth by overthrowing them, but in the end, he hadn't gained a single cent.

When the Su family was around, they could pay some protection fees or something, and also added a huge sum of money to the national treasury. Now, the Emperor of Shuizhou State is really shooting himself in the foot.

At that time, the eunuch asked Ji Xingzhi why he said that it was the Emperor of Shuizhou who overthrew the Su family, and not the Su family themselves who colluded with the enemy?

Ji Xingzhi's answer was: "The Su family emptied out all their property, which shows that they had anticipated this outcome and made preparations in advance. The Su family has its roots in Shuizhou. Although they are merchants, even the emperor respects them. They have no reason to collaborate with the enemy. If they really collaborated with the enemy, given the Su family's ability, they would not have let the Shuizhou emperor catch them so easily. It is obviously a frame-up. If the Shuizhou emperor had not turned a blind eye, who in Shuizhou would have the ability to bring down the Su family? The entire family would be executed... and those who would be executed may not be members of the Su family. At this moment, who knows where the Su family members are enjoying themselves."

At that time, Ji Xingzhi really hoped that the Su family could escape to Lizhou State and drive the economic development of Lizhou State. She only needed to watch, so why not?

It’s a pity that the Su family did not go to Lizhou State.

"Su Yang...it turns out that the Su family really wasn't executed. With the Su family's protection, how did you fall into Uncle Qin's hands?" Ji Xingzhi expressed her confusion.

"What surprised you is not that someone from the Su family is still alive, but why I fell into Uncle Qin's hands?" Su Yang said in surprise.

Ji Xingzhi nodded honestly and said, "I've long guessed that the Su family's murder was a false case, but it's never been proven. Look, you've just proven it for me. I'm not interested in why you were saddled with infamy and fled the Shuizhou capital. Instead, I'm interested in you... From what I know, the Su family's young master, Su Hang, has a little daughter who's intelligent, playful, and adorable. So, that means it was you. Since the Su family was able to leave the Shuizhou capital safely with their entire family, why did you end up in Uncle Qin's hands?"

Su Yang chuckled and said rather embarrassedly: "To be honest, my third uncle said that I was born to be a martial artist. Before he died, he took me away despite everyone's opposition and forcibly passed on his life's cultivation to me, but he died after passing it on. Uncle Qin happened to appear and helped me collect the body of my third uncle. In order to repay Uncle Qin's kindness, I followed Uncle Qin. In fact, this is not the real reason why I left with Uncle Qin. The real reason is that Uncle Qin said that he wanted me to go to Huazhou Kingdom as a spy. I thought about it, the old emperor of Shuizhou Kingdom said that my Su family had allied with Huazhou Kingdom and colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, so I went to confirm this crime and give him a trick..."

Ji Xingzhi was speechless. What a favor to collect the body, what a plan...

"But later I thought it through. I felt that I shouldn't waste my good time because of being angry with the old emperor. When I was about to leave, Uncle Qin fed me poison because he didn't believe that I could serve the country sincerely. He would give me medicine to relieve the poison before it took effect. I had no choice but to stay. I stayed for a year." Su Yang said depressedly.
