Chapter 1035: More wool to be plucked
The old man of the Su family was so angry that he felt pain in his chest and could hardly stand.
"How can this be absurd... How can this be absurd! A bunch of ignorant and uncouth folks dare to slander my Su family..."
"Slander? What a joke!" Su Laowu stepped forward, interrupting the old man of the Su family. He said with a slightly cold expression, "Has Old Master Su forgotten how he sent people to our rural countryside, repeatedly inviting a humble student like me to join the Su family genealogy, and then to participate in the imperial examinations as a member of the Su family to win glory for your Su family?"
When Su Laowu said this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.
He continued, "Even then, when we met at the restaurant that day, Old Master Su brought up this matter again and personally invited me to be included in the Su family tree, but I declined."
As soon as Su Laowu finished speaking, the old man of the Su family seemed to be slapped hard in the face and slapped several times in public.
When the people around saw the old man of the Su family being slapped in the face again and again, more and more people started to make noises and mock him.
Tang Bao looked at the old man of the Su family and asked sincerely.
"Does your face hurt?"
The old man of the Su family: "..."
Not only did his face hurt, it was also burning. For the first time in his life, he felt like crawling into the ground.
Old Man Su looked at the expression of the old man of the Su family, and felt both happy and complicated.
Once upon a time, he was proud of being a descendant of the Su family.
Once upon a time, he was full of admiration and respect for the person in front of him.
He had once fantasized about one day bringing honor to his family and receiving praise and recognition from the person before him...
However, all this was shattered when he was kicked out of the Su family.
"Old Five, take out the deed and show it to everyone, so that Old Master Su won't deny it." Old Man Su ordered.
Su Laowu immediately took out the gambling agreement that was signed from his arms.
"Everyone, look, this is the bet my sister signed with Su Yurui."
Su Laowu said this and showed the deed to the people around him.
"Su Huiyuan, I'm sure everyone in the capital knows about this bet. Why would you even need to bring the deed as proof?" someone shouted, "If the Su family denies it, we'll all be your witnesses!"
"That's right! I bet on their damn century-old family and nearly lost my pants!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
"Su Huiyuan, Princess Fude, stop talking and smash the plaque!"
"That's right! Smash the plaque! Smash the plaque of their century-old family. I've lost so much money, I accept it!"
"That's right... smash it quickly! Let us vent our anger!"
The people around were shouting and eager to try, as if they couldn't wait to do it themselves.
Regardless of what these people's intentions are, this situation alone makes people feel that a century-old family has declined and is being pushed down by everyone.
Otherwise, who would dare to make noise at the Su family's gate?
You know, the plaque hanging on the lintel is an imperial plaque that has gone through several dynasties.
Emperors of all dynasties have acknowledged that the Su family is the leader of the officialdom and have treated them with great courtesy.
Even as dynasties changed, no one took down the plaque on the Su family's gate.
Today, the plaque that has been hanging for hundreds of years has been lost by the descendants of the Su family.
Old Man Su looked at Old Master Su and said mercilessly, "I'm willing to accept the loss. What else do you have to say, Old Master Su?"
The old man of the Su family: "..."
My body swayed, my heart ached violently, and I could hardly breathe.
Tang Bao looked at Old Master Su's expression, touched her small bag, and felt that there was more wool to be fleeced today.
Well, not bad!
I should be able to make some more money before taking down the plaque!
"...This bet is void!" The old man of the Su family said with an extremely grim expression: "Su Yurui is not a descendant of our Su family. He has been expelled from the family!"
As soon as the old man of the Su family finished speaking, the head of the Su family's face changed.
Although he was also annoyed by what his nephew had done and wanted to kill him, it was only a momentary anger.
After the old man of the Su family said this, the situation became different.
At this time, Su Yurui, who was wearing a hat covering his face at the back of the crowd, felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground when he heard what the old man of the Su family said.
Old Man Su's face darkened.
"Is Old Master Su trying to cut off his own tail to save his life, or is he trying to maliciously evade his debt?" Old Man Su said in a deep voice: "When Su Yurui made the bet, he was still a descendant of your Su family. The deed was signed in the name of the descendants of the Su family, and--"
Old Man Su took the deed from Old Wu Su.
"It's written in black and white. Besides Su Yurui's signature, there are also signatures of many children of your Su family."
As Old Man Su spoke, he pointed at the long list of names and let the old man of the Su family look at them himself.
You know, when they made the bet, Tang Bao specifically asked the candidates from the Su family to sign as well.
The purpose is to prevent the Su family from defaulting on their debts.
"If you can't see clearly, I can bring it closer," Old Man Su said again.
The old man of the Su family: "..."
My eyes were getting darker and the black words on the paper seemed like hypnotic symbols.
Old Man Su sneered.
"Since Old Master Su has nothing to say and doesn't want to do it himself, let our family take down the plaque for you."
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he looked at Old Man Su II and Old Man Su III.
"Second brother, third brother, help Old Master Su take down the plaque and smash it!"
The two brothers, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San, had been waiting for their father to speak.
"Okay! Dad!"
The two brothers climbed up the ladder excitedly.
"Wait a minute! Let's talk it over!" the Su family patriarch shouted.
Unfortunately, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San pretended not to hear anything, and the two brothers climbed very quickly.
After all, they all knew that if the plaque couldn't be taken down today, Dad would never be able to get rid of the anger in his heart!
The head of the Su family panicked and wanted to ask someone to stop them, but the guards of the Princess's Mansion had already guarded the ladder.
By the way, although the Su family is a century-old family, they also have a lot of guards in the mansion.
But, after all, there is no way to compare with the Princess's Mansion.
Not to mention the number of guards, just talking about their skills, the guards in the Princess's Mansion are definitely one in a thousand.
Much stronger than the guards of the Su family, a century-old family.
After all, these guards were personally selected by Xuanyuan Jin.
At this time, the guards of the Princess's Mansion were protecting Su Lao Er and Su Lao San who were on the ladder, and the guards of the Su family could not get close at all.
The head of the Su family panicked.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" asked the head of the Su family in a panic.
The old man of the Su family felt dizzy before his eyes, and he held his breath and shouted angrily.
"stop!"
After he finished speaking, his lips turned purple, he covered his heart with one hand, and pointed at Su Lao Er and then Su Lao San with the other hand, tremblingly, and slowly fell backwards.
Tang Bao: “…”
It’s true!
