Chapter 294 But it was Sang Zhixia who did this!

The inference put forward by Xu Yu was confirmed by Chen Nianhe through his own channels.

But the facts before them could not make Chen Nianhe or Xu Yu feel at ease at all. Their feet, hanging on the edge of a knife, once again stepped into the abyss of countless conspiracies. If they were not careful, the outcome would be irreversible.

Xu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lieutenant General Wu suppressed his fear, exhaled slowly, and said in an inaudible voice, "The general said that this matter is of great importance and involves many people. For the sake of safety, Young Master Xu should remain calm."

Apart from the illusory and lofty gods and Buddhas in the world, the most powerful person is the one in Kyoto.

But that person at this time...

Deputy General Wu didn't dare to say more. After careful consideration, he whispered, "According to the news from Kyoto, the Emperor is feeling unwell. The Crown Prince has become increasingly reckless during his time as Regent. It would be a bad idea to show up now."

The Xu family's treason is inseparable from the regent, and the chaos in the northwest is also his doing.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than eliminating dissidents, suppressing those who do not support him, and even those capable officials who may hinder his own performance.

Such things are not uncommon, but the method used by that person was really despicable and he did not take other people's lives seriously.

However, the current crown prince is the only descendant of the long-deceased Empress Yuan. He is the eldest son and has an unparalleled noble bloodline, and his status is superior to that of other princes.

The emperor also loved the prince as if he were the apple of his eye, and for many years he spared no expense to pave the way for the prince.

It is impossible that the emperor did not know anything about the Xu family's affairs, but he still allowed the Xu family to fall to such a state. From this, we can guess the emperor's attitude.

The Emperor has always indulged the Crown Prince, so the number of casualties is not important.

The Crown Prince lacks talent and virtue but is too ambitious. In order to ensure that the Crown Prince can secure his position as the Crown Prince among a group of outstanding princes, the Emperor condones and approves the Crown Prince's actions.

Things have come to this point, and it would be inappropriate for Xu Yu to investigate further.

What if we find out more?

The emperor's heart to protect his sons remains undying. Except for the crown prince, all others, including several princes who were granted the title of king, are bystanders.

I dare not think of anything and I can't do anything.

Deputy General Wu was worried that Xu Yu would not give up, and was racking his brains to think of a few more words to say, but Xu Yu's expression was calm without any surprise or anger, and his tone was so light that no emotion could be discerned.

"Thank your general for me."

Deputy General Wu held his breath cautiously and gently reminded, "The Crown Prince has behaved inappropriately, and there has long been criticism within the court. Young Master Xu should calm down and wait for the day ahead."

Being patient and not speaking out at this time is not about accepting what happens, but about trying to wait for a more appropriate opportunity.

Those whose virtue does not match their position will eventually be drowned by water.

Xu Yu appreciated Lieutenant General Wu's kindness and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lieutenant General. I won't expose my chest and run into the knife point."

Just doing nothing is not his style.

Deputy General Wu stopped talking and changed the subject to ask about the tea ceremony at the tea mountain, confirming the details with Xu Yu in a low voice.

The stones are all available, and all it takes is time to build and pave a road that winds through the mountains.

The people brought by Deputy General Wu were willing to work hard. Seeing this, the people of Heiya Village were afraid that their boss would be disgusted with their incompetence, so they also put in all their efforts as if they were competing.

Cart after cart of stone was carried to the top of the mountain in batches by shoulders, mules and horses. The thick fog that rose in the mountains drowned out the sound of banging and horns coming from the forest, and the scattered white mist also covered the sharp corners of Xu Yu's lips.

Waiting for the future?

He has a long future ahead of him.

But before the clouds and fog clear away, which may arrive at an unknown time, some people cannot live too smoothly.

The bite of an ant is not painful or itchy, but if the waves caused by the attack of a group of ants are strong enough, it is not wishful thinking for the ants to shake the tree.

On the side of Moding Mountain, mules and horses were coming and going incessantly with the sound of hammering and banging.

The farms in Luobei Village were also bustling with activity, a rare sight as everyone gathered in one place.

Xu Tongsheng clutched the frayed pen in his hand, feeling extremely distressed. He gasped and said, "Are we going to slaughter all 30 pigs at once? Are we really going to slaughter them all?"

It's not a festival, why are they suddenly killing pigs?

Sang Zhixia looked at Xu Tongsheng, whose nose and eyes were twisted with heartache, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, isn't there more than half left?"

"It's not like they're all being killed at once, so why are you so angry?"

"Oh my boss, how come this is not the case?"

Xu Tongsheng said with a bitter face, "These piglets have already been hungry for a while, and they haven't put on much fat yet. If we take them out and slaughter them now, there won't be much meat left!"

The winery can now produce hundreds of kilograms of distiller's grains every day. In addition, as the weather gets warmer, there is more grass for the pigs to harvest. These two supplies are enough to feed the pigs three times a day. Within three months, the pigs in the pigsty will see a big change.

Xu Tongsheng had originally had good intentions, working hard to produce as much as he could as long as he could survive. However, by the end of this year, all the pigs he pulled out were fat pigs weighing over 200 yuan.

Who could have thought that Sang Zhixia would be slaughtered now?

Could it be that he is craving for meat?

Xu Tongsheng thought that the excuse of being greedy was too funny, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said, "Boss, if you are greedy, you can kill one or two."

"The twelfth lunar month has long passed, and we can't make bacon now. If we slaughter all the animals and let the unsold meat spoil, wouldn't that be a waste of good things?"

These are all pigs that Xu Tongsheng watched grow up little by little. If someone else did this job, Xu Tongsheng would be so anxious that he would gouge out that person's eyes.

But the one who did this was Sang Zhixia!

Xu Tongsheng was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.

Sang Zhixia was afraid the old man would collapse from anxiety, so she quickly helped him sit down on the side and said, "Uncle Xu, just be at ease. Don't waste even the bristles you scrape off the pig, let alone the meat."

Xu Tongsheng raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "Is this true?"

"Is the boss trying to scare me?"

"Why would I scare you?"

Sang Zhixia picked up the tea that Xue Liu had poured and placed it in Xu Tongsheng's hands, saying with a smile, "Uncle Xu, don't worry. I won't do anything stupid."

Although slaughtering a large number of pigs at that time was contrary to people's cognition, Sang Zhixia had always been reliable in his work.

She is not a reckless and arrogant person.

This should be a sure thing.

Xu Tongsheng took a deep breath, suppressing his heartache, and said with a struggle, "Then kill it. There's still half of it left. It will surely be fat by the end of the year."

Sang Zhixia didn't dare to say that the remaining half might not stay for long, for fear of giving him more stimulation, so she quickly found another excuse to leave.

Xue Liu, who had witnessed the entire incident, recalled the reactions of Xu Tongsheng and the others on the farm and couldn't help but laugh, "These people put so much thought into the livestock on the farm that they'd rush into the pigpen to stop the butcher knife if they saw it."

It’s not that he treats all the pigs in the pigsty as his own, but on the contrary, he doesn’t allow the proper owners to touch them.

I just spent countless efforts to take care of it along the way, and I always wanted to feed it a little longer and put some weight on it.

This way, you can live up to the preferential treatment given by the host, and the effort you put in will turn into more fat, which is also pleasing to the eye.

Sang Zhixia also found it amusing. She glanced back towards the pigpen and said, "We've slaughtered a lot of meat today. The fat has been removed and will be used to make oil and soap. The unused parts will be sent to the restaurant and butcher shop as agreed. There's no need to find a place to go for the rest. We'll share it with everyone."
