My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"Third Brother, this wasn't made by Zheng Hongxiu."
While Su Wansan was going mad, Cui Wuming had already checked the cages of the unconscious guards and was now inside the cages examining the carcasses of the wild beasts.
Su Wansan rushed into the cage, picked up a floral dress, and looked as if he was about to shed tears of heartache.
"Of course I know it wasn't that slut! She was with us just now, she must have had someone do this!"
“No.” Cui Wuming shook his head.
Su Wansan asked doubtfully, "Why are you so sure?"
"Judging from the posture and angle at which these guards fell, they fell almost simultaneously, with no more than three breaths between them. In other words, the person on the right side of the cage was knocked unconscious before he could even turn his head after hearing the sound of the person on the left side of the cage falling."
"Looking at these wild beasts, they have almost no external wounds; they were all killed with a single blow!"
"This speed and this technique are already those of a master."
Cui Wuming looked at Su Wansan and said seriously, "How could Zheng Hongxiu, a brothel owner, order a grandmaster around?"
Grandmaster!
Su Wansan's heart skipped a beat.
Even though he was a wealthy merchant and the richest man in Yanchuan City, he felt that this term was too far removed from him.
He's rich and can afford to hire people to work for him.
However, they were unable to invite a grandmaster.
So when he heard Cui Wuming say that, he knew that Cui Wuming's judgment was correct.
If he can't even invite a grandmaster, how can Zheng Hongxiu possibly do so?
To make a grandmaster do such a... immoral thing!!!
Su Wansan asked doubtfully, "That's strange. When did I offend a Grandmaster? Could it be someone from Han Nancheng's side?"
Cui Wuming shook his head and said definitively, "They are all dead, and there is absolutely no possibility of revenge."
"Who could it be?"
"I've thought of one..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Cui Wuming.
Being targeted by a grandmaster terrified not only Su Wansan, but everyone in the Su family.
“Chen Yuxian was killed by Yang Taozhi, who was in Yanchuan City.” Cui Wuming said in a deep voice, “I consider myself second in martial arts in Yanchuan, but in my heart, the first is Yang Taozhi.”
Su Wansan was stunned, and exclaimed in surprise, "That girl is actually a Grandmaster???"
Cui Wuming sighed, his words filled with admiration, and said, "Everyone says I am the swift swordsman Wuming, but I know that her sword is even faster than mine."
Su Wansan suddenly slapped his thigh, stood up, and said, "I know, it's Zhao Cheng!"
"The four renowned calligraphers were invited by Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng received a cut of the money from the calligraphy sales that day. Zheng Hongxiu inflated my price that day because of Zhao Cheng!"
"Think about it more carefully. Zhao Cheng frequents Heaven on Earth and practically considers it his home. He is very likely Zheng Hongxiu's boss behind the scenes!"
"Yang Taozhi is Zhao Huan's adopted daughter and Zhao Cheng's adopted sister. Even a Grandmaster would listen to Zhao Cheng's every word."
"It matches up, it all matches up!"
Su Wansan slammed his fist on the iron cage and roared, "Such a despicable thing! Looking across the entire Yanchuan City, he should be the first person I think of!"
"Xiao Wei!"
"Third Uncle, I'm here!" Su Wei quickly came over.
"Take a headcount of how many skilled men you have left in the manor, and gather them all together!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute." Su Wanyi called out to Su Wei, and said solemnly, "Third brother, the Right Prime Minister's residence is not the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Don't act rashly."
Su Wansan angrily said, "Zhao Huan hasn't returned yet, and the Right Prime Minister's mansion only has a hundred soldiers. Even if Yang Taozhi is there, don't we still have Wuming? With Wuming holding Yang Taozhi back, I can drown Zhao Cheng with a human wave!"
Su Wanyi said in a deep voice: "The key to dealing with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is not whether we can win, but whether we are capable of winning."
"Don't forget the news from Changsui: the Left Chancellor's attitude towards Zhao Huan outside Tianze Palace... that shows the deep bond between master and disciple!"
Su Wansan fell silent, gradually calming down.
Su Wanyi then said, "If the Left Prime Minister intends to reconcile with Zhao Huan, wouldn't we be ruining his grand plan?"
Su Wansan pointed behind him and shouted, "Brother, look at my peacock! My clothes!"
"This is everything I have! I can't swallow this!"
“I only said not to act rashly, not that you should swallow your anger.” Su Wansan said solemnly, his hands behind his back. “Go write to the Earl of Sha County and tell him exactly what you want to do about Zhao Cheng. See his attitude.”
Su Wansan pondered for a moment and then nodded.
...
A fast horse set off from the west gate overnight. When it had galloped two miles outward, the rider suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. A swift and phantom dragged him off the horse and returned to the city at an extremely fast speed.
In the backyard of the Right Prime Minister's residence, Yang Taozhi casually tossed aside the unconscious person and handed the letter to Zhao Cheng.
Zheng Hongxiu moved closer to Zhao Cheng to watch together.
After reading it, Zhao Cheng laughed and said, "They've fallen for it."
Zheng Hongxiu sighed, "Su Wansan is really tired of living, daring to even touch the Right Prime Minister's residence!"
"Wen Tai's lackeys are so audacious!"
Zhao Cheng shouted, "Green Lotus!"
Green Lotus, Wen Hu's 'needle', stepped forward and said, "Imitate the handwriting of the letter Wen Hu sent you and write a reply for me."
Zhao Cheng handed the letter to Lü He and said, "The gist of it is that Su Wansan is to go ahead and do it. Zhao Cheng and Zhao Huan are both insignificant!"
"Tell him to gather his men as soon as possible, the bigger the commotion the better. Changsui will protect him!"
"Yes!" Green Lotus nodded.
Zhao Cheng kicked Su Wansan's messenger and said to Yang Taozhi, "Sister, can we ask him to send the letter back again?"
"Don't worry, there are only two kinds of people under my sword."
