Chapter 172 Grandparents' Conversation
The old marquis was heartbroken. How could such a harmful person appear in the Su family?
Fortunately, his grandsons expelled her from the Su family. He did not blame his grandsons for their actions at all. Instead, he agreed with their actions.
Such people who act impulsively without considering the consequences and only think about themselves, such selfish people should be eliminated and die a good death! !
But the second child might be sad to hear this, after all, that is the child he raised in his arms.
The old marquis felt mixed emotions and was extremely upset. Even after being exiled here, the Su family still couldn't live in peace.
It's time to give the two sons a severe beating. I hope this incident will teach them a lesson. No matter how much you love your children, they should still give them a good education. If you don't teach them well, the worst result will be that they will not only sacrifice their own lives but also hurt others.
The old marquis let out a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Now that the person is dead, nothing he does will help. The important thing now is to find a way to deal with the emperor's anger.
That person will definitely not let the Su family have an easy time, and will not give Murong Li any chance to turn things around.
I don’t know what he will do next.
"You are doing the right thing. Let your second uncle come over and let him handle it himself. We won't have to get involved."
Su Yue nodded.
The old marquis continued, “As for Prince Yi, he will definitely say something nonsense in front of the emperor when he returns to the capital. We must be mentally prepared in case the emperor issues an order.
As for Prince Jing, from what Grandfather knows about him, he's not dead yet, so he's definitely not going to give up and is thinking about making a comeback. You all need to be careful in the future, fearing he might stab you in the back. He has the same personality as the current prince, a narrow-minded and vindictive person. He must be holding a grudge against you all now."
The old marquis gave some advice, saying that Su He's matter was a small matter, and the matters between Prince Jing and the Emperor were particularly serious.
A person who had been dead for several years is now alive and well, and almost wiped out the entire Su family.
It's really scary when you think about it. There are so many lives in their Su family, but in his eyes, human lives are not as important as ants.
His grandchildren have ruined his good deeds again, and this man will definitely take double the revenge.
Hey, why did he target their Su family?
The old marquis was thinking in a mess in his mind, why is such a person still alive and still thinking about becoming the emperor? If such a person sits on that seat, it will definitely be a disaster for the people of Xifeng Kingdom.
That is something that brings disaster to the country and the people.
He is old now and has the will but not the strength. Unlike when he was young, he would definitely stand up and find ways to stop such things when he encountered them.
He glanced at his energetic grandchildren and Murong Li, hoping they could stop him.
Su Qiwen said, "Sister, please tell Murong Li about this matter later. He has people under his command, so ask him to keep an eye on it at all times. Our Su family is left with only one commander, so it's good enough that we can protect ourselves."
Su Yue: "I will definitely tell him what my grandfather and eldest brother said.
In addition, Grandfather, I have an idea in my mind. We really have no one under our command. The Su family is really alone. If something really happens, we really have no way to protect ourselves.
What I'm thinking about is that the people in the northwest are displaced by the severe drought, and now it's winter, I don't know how many people have starved to death or frozen to death. Grandfather, what do you think? We should go and pick out a group of eight or nine-year-old children and some young and strong men. We can train them ourselves and build a force that belongs to the Su family.
Su Yue had never thought about these things before, but after hearing what the old marquis said, she realized that they were facing quite a few crises. She could protect herself, but as for the Su family, she had no way to take care of them once they were out of her sight.
If there was someone protecting the Su family, they would not be helpless and driven crazy when encountering emergencies.
Although they were protected by more than 20 people including Zhang, the leader, they were not enough. They could resist a few people if they encountered a small number of people, but if there were more people or they were stronger, they could only watch helplessly.
It is urgent to establish the Su family's power.
The old marquis' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed, "This idea, Miss Yue, is good. Indeed, countless elderly people and children freeze to death every day in and around Northwest City. We just need people, so we can start tomorrow."
The old marquis was even more anxious. He had also been to the battlefield when he was young. The thought of forming a force to protect the Su family made his blood boil, and he wanted to train himself.
"Are there still people freezing to death or starving to death? Didn't the court send a county magistrate?" Su Qiwen asked. He heard this from Murong Li, who said that a new county magistrate was sent from the northwest.
The old marquis said disdainfully: "He is here, but he comes with bare hands."
Su Yue touched her nose after hearing this. She had emptied the emperor's treasury and really had no money to give. The people she sent last time were robbed by King Jing.
Thinking of the banknotes and silver in the space, Su Yue wondered whether she should do something.
Banknotes and grain can be given, but silver cannot be given. It has the seal of the national treasury on it, and if you take it away it will be exposed.
There is also coal, and we need to speed up the mining process.
Thinking of coal, Su Yue waved her hand and a piece of coal appeared in her hand.
The old marquis knew her abilities and wasn't surprised. He looked at the black coal and asked, "Yue girl, what is this?"
"This is coal, which can be used as firewood. Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, many people are short of charcoal, so they use this as a substitute. Later, each courtyard in our mansion will take some back to burn. However, when burning this, make sure to ventilate it properly."
Su Yue was embarrassed to say that coal combustion would produce carbon monoxide. There was no such word here. If there was no ventilation, it would be easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Is this easy to do?"
The old marquis took it in his hand, looked at it and asked, "This is like a stone. It should be difficult to handle. He has never seen such a thing in his life."
"It's not easy. It grows underground, just like iron ore. It needs people to dig it out."
Su Yue said this and took out a few more pieces and put them into the charcoal stove in the house.
This charcoal stove is like a stove and has ventilation ducts, so there is no need to worry about smoke reaching people.
As soon as the coal was thrown in, it began to crackle and burn.
The old marquis squatted in front of the stove and stared at it. He saw that the black stone was really burning, and the fire was quite big.
He even reached out to feel the fire.
"This is really good, Yue girl, how much is this now?"
"Not much. What I have here is only enough for us, but Murongli's people are digging."
The old marquis expressed regret for a moment and sent the three people out of the study. He had learned a lot of news today and he needed to digest it now. Moreover, his grandchildren had just returned and came to him without even having a rest.
The three of them left the old marquis' study. Su Yue went back and got some medicine from the space. She asked Caixia to deliver the medicine to Uncle Liang before she went to Murong Li.
