Chapter 498 The Calculations of the Four Major Families
Just as the head of the Zhao family said, the four major families in the capital are now evenly matched in strength. No matter which one sits on that throne, the other three families will either surrender completely or be suppressed.
So why rebel at this time?
Once this balance is broken, the four major families will no longer exist in the competition, and only the winner will remain.
But no one wants to break this balance.
If he wanted to protect his family, he had to wait until both royal families suffered heavy losses in the fight, and then see how the situation developed.
It won’t be too late to fight then.
At that time, the winning family will be the master of Xifeng Kingdom, and the four major families will compete for that one-quarter opportunity.
If you win, you are king; if you lose, you die.
The four major families have existed for so long, it’s time to give it a try.
Su Yue listened to what the head of the Lin family said outside the window, and admired the four major families in her heart. They had so many talented people and they could actually act like this.
The current situation is not just an internal struggle among the royal family members.
The fight ended in a draw. Even if the four major families took action again, no matter how powerful the royal family was, it would be useless. They could not defeat the four major families and would be destroyed.
The head of the Zhao family is really a capable person. She will definitely meet him tomorrow night.
Let’s clean up the Lin Mansion first tonight.
If they want internal strife in the royal family, they will be disappointed. With Su Yue around, how can they afford internal strife?
Su Yue collected her thoughts and continued listening.
At this time, Lin Haonan's voice came: "Then we can't just watch Murong Li treat us like this in vain."
The head of the Lin family sighed, "Of course. The immediate goal is to find a way to eliminate Murong Li. Once he dies, the emperor will have no son to inherit the throne. Then the royal family will jump out. Let them fight among themselves and see who is the winner. Then the four major families will make the decision."
Su Yue was startled when she heard this. It turned out that this was what they were planning.
Want to kill Murong Li? That's a fantasy. Then they can just wait for the four major families to come and kill them.
Lin Haonan: "I heard that Prince Li is very skilled in martial arts, and so are the secret guards around him. I'm afraid it won't be easy to kill him."
The head of the Lin family said quietly, "Nothing is difficult in this world, as long as one is determined. Even the most powerful people have weaknesses."
"What does father mean?"
Patriarch Lin raised his eyebrows: "Yes, who do you think Prince Li cares about the most?"
Lin Haonan's eyes lit up: "Is it Princess Li?"
The head of the Lin family nodded and said: "That's right, Princess Li is more important to Prince Li than his mother. As long as Prince Li is caught, who is afraid that he will commit a crime?
By then, we will have laid a tight net and he won't be able to escape."
This was also the result of his discussion with the head of the Zhao family. Murong Li must be eliminated first before the royal family can be in internal strife, and the four major families will then reap the benefits.
Moreover, Murong Li must die now. His spearhead has been pointed at the four major families. If the four major families do not take action, they will be pushed to the forefront. At that time, they will be a thorn in the eyes of some people, and of course, they will also be a favorite in the eyes of some people.
Although the four major families are powerful and have complex connections, they are not invincible.
For example, their Lin family is now facing a crisis after what Murong Li did. If they cannot survive this crisis, the Lin family will definitely be severely damaged and will be eliminated from the list of the four major families in the capital.
Therefore, this culprit must be eliminated. Coincidentally, the other three families also feel that if this person is not eliminated, it will be a major hidden danger and a threat to the four major families.
Then he would take the opportunity to use them to get rid of him.
The more Su Yue listened, the angrier she became. She even wanted to capture her to force Murong Li. She really wanted to ask the four major families if they regarded her and Murong Li as trash.
How could he catch her?
Su Yue really didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore, so she took out a bag of medicine powder from the space and blew the powder in through the gap.
“Plop, plop!”
Soon, the sound of someone falling was heard in the house.
Su Yue immediately released her mental power to be on guard to see if anyone was coming.
After a long time, no one showed up. It was probably because the head of the Lin family had ordered the secret guards not to get close to the calligraphy.
The study is a very important place, and no one should get close to it, and some information should not be leaked out.
Secret guards are also human beings and can be bribed.
Su Yue then took down half of the window with great effort, placed it gently on the ground, and then she climbed in through the window.
As soon as she entered, Su Yue scanned the room with her mental power. The study was very large, with bookcases on three sides and a desk in the middle. Opposite the desk was an octagonal table. The father and son of the Lin family were sitting there drinking tea and chatting, and now they had fallen to the ground.
Looking at the objects displayed in the study, Su Yue's eyes were shining. Any one of them could be said to be priceless.
The four major families have profound heritage, which can be reflected in this study.
Su Yue clicked her tongue twice and quickly put the Lin family head and his son into the space. Then she went through the study and put everything in the study into the space, including this eight-immortal table. This table was actually made of golden nanmu, and so was the stool.
Anyway, in the end, the house was empty.
At this time, Su Yue carefully checked the study again. In places like study, many people have dark rooms.
Su Yue searched for a long time and finally found a secret compartment. She reached into the compartment and found a mechanism. She pressed hard and a crack appeared in the wall to her right. The crack slowly opened and turned out to be a door.
Su Yue couldn't help but sigh at the people here's mastery of mechanical engineering. Even her mental power couldn't tell that there was a door here.
The door stopped when it was open enough for two people to sit side by side.
Behind the door is a staircase leading underground, which must be a basement.
Basements are commonly used by people and are the safest place to store things.
It is hard not to attract attention when built on the ground. There are so many precious treasures, how can they be placed on the ground? The basement is the safest place.
The stairs were clean and tidy, and it was obvious that people often went there.
It was pitch black below, but it didn't matter to Su Yue. She stepped in.
The stairs went down at an angle, and it was about half a meter before reaching the basement.
The basement is very large, covering an area of 2,000 square meters, and there are four stone pillars supporting the stone chamber to prevent collapse.
The four walls of the basement are inlaid with luminous pearls, making the entire basement as bright as day.
It was filled with all kinds of boxes, some were open, some were closed, and some were stacked layer by layer.
The treasures in the open box were so dazzling that Su Yue's eyes were dazzled.
There are more treasures here than in the national treasury.
The four major families are indeed the four major families. They are indeed very wealthy, so wealthy that they can be said to be rich enough to rival a country.
Su Yue had seen countless treasures, and she didn't have the excitement of collecting treasures for the first time. Without saying a word, she wrapped these things with her mental power and put them all into the space.
After collecting all the items, she also pried off the night pearl on the wall.
Then he left the basement and came to the study. He poured the oil in the barrel into the study before leaving.
