Three kilometers west of Guihua Village, on the hillside, is a large cemetery where generations of people from Guihua Village and several neighboring villages are buried.
"Xiaowu, this is Grandfather Su."
Su Ning'an put Xiaowu down and started burning incense to Old Man Su.
Xiao Wu looked at the relatively simple tombstone in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It couldn't be compared with the royal mausoleum at all.
At this moment, Xiaowu clearly realized the difference between the royal family and the common people. It was a world of difference.
Grandfather Su raised my father as his own son. He must have been a very good person. How could he be buried in such a small grave?
We must build a big tomb for Grandpa Su.
After everyone had finished burning incense, Xiao Wu was about to talk to Xiao Lingyu about rebuilding the tomb when he saw Xiao Lingyu taking a topographic map of Guihua Village drawn on silk cloth from Mo Shu.
"Ang'er, look, is that the place marked here?"
Xiao Lingyu roughly pointed to a place about 300 meters southeast of Old Man Su's tombstone, where there was a large open space.
Su Ning'an came over to take a look and said, "Yes, that's over there. No one uses it now, but in a few years someone will use it to repair the grave."
Xiao Lingyu said, "That would be a good opportunity to move your grandfather Su's coffin there and rebuild a new tomb."
"Mother, did you come up with this idea on a whim, or did you think about it long ago?" Xiaowu was very surprised.
Xiao Lingyu said, "This is the intention of your father and mother. The Feng Shui treasure land marked on this map was calculated by your great uncle before we left Beijing."
"Mother, leave this to me." Su Ningjie took a map of Guihua Village and, following the markings, found the auspicious spot. He roughly measured the area on foot and ran back to Xiao Lingyu. "Tomorrow, I'll arrange for construction to begin on a large and comfortable 'house' so Grandpa Su can live comfortably."
"Okay, we'll give priority to the villagers. Once the repairs are completed, we'll set off back to Beijing..."
Xiaowu wanted to build a large and beautiful tomb for Grandfather Su, as a way of repaying Grandfather Su for raising his father.
The stone, tombstone and coffin were all of top quality, and the renovation took a full three months.
During this period, Su Ningwen personally visited other counties and villages in Huayang County to collect relevant injustices in order to increase and amend legislation.
During this period, he, Su Ning'an, Su Ningjie and Xiao Wu successively arrested two corrupt officials in Huayang County.
Two hundred thousand taels of stolen money were seized, and the Vice Minister of War in the imperial court was implicated.
When Su Xingyi learned about this, he sat in the imperial study and laughed foolishly.
It was only after Wang Danei reminded him that Su Xingyi came to his senses and arranged for the Dali Temple to conduct a secret investigation.
Within three days, Dali Temple not only discovered that the Minister of War had accepted bribes, but also discovered that he had contacts with Feng Jinxiu.
When Su Xingyi heard the name Feng Jinxiu, he narrowed his eyes.
Tsk, being demoted to a commoner and still not content? That's a dead end!
"Nie Ying!"
"Go and capture Feng Jinxiu for me!"
"yes!"
The next day, Su Xingyi stripped the Minister of War of his official uniform in front of all the ministers in the court, confiscated his property, and exiled him to the northwest of Xirong to plant trees.
This was the first major case Su Xingyi had encountered since he took power.
Not only was his property confiscated, he was also exiled to the northwest of Xirong to plant trees.
Oh my God, who would have thought that after the Song family, there would be someone else exiled and sent to plant trees.
The ministers were horrified when they heard this, and they were afraid that in the future any official who committed a crime would be sent to the northwest to plant trees.
What a hell of a place Northwest Continent is. Once you go there, you can only eat sand every day.
The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Northwest Continent is, after all, the territory of the Western Rong. The Minister of War is familiar with our Beiyi military deployment. If he surrenders to the Western Rong royal family, it will cause endless troubles for us Beiyi. Please reconsider your decision."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Su Xingyi had certainly considered this aspect of the issue. "Now that we, Beiyi, and Xirong, are on good terms, don't worry, my dear. I have my own considerations. In the past, military deployments have remained static. How can this be allowed? Military deployments must be adjusted every six months. We cannot allow the enemy to take advantage of any opportunity. Do you understand?"
The Minister of War suddenly realized, why didn’t he think of it?
If we adjust our military deployment every six months, we won't have to worry about the Western Rong stealing our territory.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Mr. Minister of War, please come to the Imperial Study later. I want to discuss military deployment with you."
"I obey the order."
Three days later, Nie Ying entered the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Jinxiu has been captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Su Xingyi put down the memorial and said, "Let's go to the Saint King's Mansion and ask him to come into the palace. I want to meet Feng Jinxiu with him."
Three days later, Feng Yanzhi woke up in the morning and felt restless.
I couldn't calm down and recite Buddhist scriptures even in the meditation room.
"Aying, send someone to the capital to find out if anything has happened?"
"yes."
Half an incense stick of time after Li Haiying left, Chen Qiao ran in in a panic.
"Master, the emperor...is here."
Feng Yanzhi saw Chen Qiao's panicked expression and calmed down. "The Emperor is here, so why are you panicking?"
"The Emperor and the Holy King came together, and they brought the Second Prince with them, no, it was His Highness Feng Jinxiu who came with them."
"What? Xiu'er has been demoted to a commoner, yet these two still won't let him go!"
"Father, it's not that I don't want to let him go, but he is restless."
Su Xingyi strode in, and Feng Jinyu was pushed in with an expressionless face.
"You're talking nonsense! I've already demoted him to a commoner and confiscated his secret guards. How could he possibly not behave himself?"
Su Xingyi was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered his men to carry in Feng Jinxiu, who was beaten to pieces and half dead.
