Chapter 366 How can I be sure that the title deed I got is not a fake?
Shen Anzhu really couldn't understand why Sang Zhixia was so interested in the Sun family's past.
However, the man who could secretly stir up the salt rebellion in Shu and become the bandit leader of Qingcheng Mountain could not be a real fool.
The silence lasted only a moment, and a hint of unclear meaning appeared on Shen Anzhu's face: "What do you want to do with the Sun family's past?"
Sang Zhixia didn't answer but laughed: "That depends on what you know specifically."
“Miss Shen, to some extent, you and I are not enemies. On the contrary, if you are willing to be honest with me, maybe I can help you?”
Shen Anzhu looked fixedly and said nothing.
Sang Zhixia smiled leisurely: "For example, the food you want, or the silver you can use, which are the things you lack most right now."
"How much I can give depends on how honest you are with me."
Sang Zhixia waited quietly after she finished speaking. Shen Anzhu struggled again and again, but just said solemnly: "What is your relationship with Bai Chengren?"
"Bai Chengren?"
Sang Zhixia's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said disdainfully, "I'm just an ordinary merchant. How can I possibly reach the heights of the high and mighty Governor of Shu?"
"Didn't Bai Chengren ask you to come?"
"Of course not."
Sang Zhixia thought about the various behaviors of the Shu officials and showed a subtle expression: "Miss Shen's enemy is Bai Chengren?"
"You already know so much, why ask such a question?"
Chen Anzhu was worthy of being the bandit leader who instigated the salt rebellion. After a brief and quick thought, he decisively made the decision that was most beneficial to him.
"I have conditions."
Sang Zhixia was at her ease: "You go ahead."
"The people on Qingcheng Mountain claim to be salt bandits, but in reality they are pitiful people who have suffered from the salt chaos and harsh policies, and their families have been destroyed. They really have no way to survive, and I bewitched them, so they took the risk and went up the mountain. In fact, they know nothing."
Shen Anzhu said as he slowly exhaled: "I don't know where you come from, and I don't want to delve into it too much."
"But if you can ensure that after the salt bandit rebellion is quelled, these people can safely return to the mountains and will not be held accountable, I can satisfy your curiosity."
Before Sang Zhixia could respond, Shen Anzhu spoke up, "Besides, you're not interested in the Sun family's vengeance, but who used shady means to murder the Sun family. Bai Chengren is just one of them to you."
"Your goal is so ambitious. The lives of these elderly, weak, women, and children shouldn't be too much of a problem for you, right?"
Sang Zhixia just smiled and said nothing.
Shen Anzhu snorted sarcastically, "It seems I guessed right."
As the governor of Shu, Bai Chengren can indeed do whatever he wants in Shu.
However powerful an official is, he will always have people backing him up.
Sang Zhixia didn't explain it too clearly, but his meaning was clear.
Shen Anzhu's goal is to use the power of the imperial envoy to expose Bai Chengren's crimes and avenge the tragic extermination of the Sun family.
Sang Zhixia wanted to cut off the source of the problem and use the Sun family to point the tip of the knife at the person behind Bai Chengren.
In the final analysis, it's just mutual exploitation.
After figuring this out, Shen Anzhu lost his initial nervousness and became much more natural: "If you can promise and do it, I will tell you everything I know."
"If I can't do this, even if I can't leave today, I won't be able to speak."
Shen Anzhu's request was not excessive.
Sang Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Only this one?"
Shen Anzhu quickly closed his eyes: "I'm talking about everyone on Qingcheng Mountain."
"I'm not going to say anything until I'm sure these people are safe."
"What you said is not difficult to do, but how can I believe that what you said will work for me?"
Sang Zhixia said with a smile, "You were able to use the power of your words to incite a group of salt bandits to invade Qingcheng Mountain. It shows that the power of words is far beyond people's imagination."
"If you don't show any sincerity in giving it to me, how can I be sure that what I got is not a fake deed?"
Speaking of fake land deeds, the smile on Sang Zhixia's face did not change at all. On the contrary, Shen Anzhu felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Anzhu coughed to suppress his extra emotions, lowered his eyes and said, "The Sun family was tragically wiped out. It was by chance that I got something I shouldn't know."
"The Yu family in Kyoto has controlled the salt permits in Shu for many years. The Sun family has all the accumulated account books and stamped certificates. I know where they are."
The words "Kyoto Yu Family" may not sound eye-catching at first glance, but if you consider that the Yu Family is the prince's uncle's family and the old man of the Yu Family is the emperor's uncle, the weight of this trump card is worth weighing.
Sang Zhixia's heart skipped a beat, and she narrowed her eyes calmly, "Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Chen Anzhu was not panicking at all. He smiled and blurted out, "It's true that I played a role behind the Salt Rebellion, but if you say I was the main person responsible, I don't have the guts to take credit for such a great achievement."
"My original intention was just to make a big fuss so that I could bring up what happened back then and start a fire. Of course, I have enough firewood."
"But whether I keep this fire in my hands and light it myself, or give it to someone else, depends entirely on whether you can fulfill the conditions I promised."
If there is enough firewood, the lighting torch will burn in anyone's hand.
The only difference is the burning effect.
If the ending is the same as what Chen Anzhu and Sang Zhixia both hope for, it doesn't seem to matter who starts the fire.
Sang Zhixia glanced at Chen Anzhu with complicated eyes: "Three days."
"I will give you a satisfactory answer in three days."
Shen Anzhu nodded without much concern: "Okay."
Seeing her about to leave, Sang Zhixia immediately added, "But you can't leave here within these three days."
"you……"
"Miss Shen, since the fish are floating on the water, there can't be only one open net."
Sang Zhixia was too lazy to listen to Shen Anzhu's sarcasm and said subtly: "If I can find it, then there are others who can find it."
"If you insist on going out now, I can't guarantee your life or death."
Bai Chengren has done so many evil things and is still alive today, so he can't be a fool who knows nothing.
The imperial envoy's mouth was blocked, and when Bai Chengren turned around, the first person he would attack would definitely be the salt bandits from Qingcheng Mountain, and it happened to be Shen Anzhu, a descendant of the Sun family, who would be the first to bear the brunt.
Chen Anzhu was stunned for a moment before he understood what Sang Zhixia meant. He paused and said, "I want to send a letter to the people in the mountains."
"Can."
Sang Zhixia was easy to talk to: "As long as you don't run around with your life, this is easy to handle."
"I'm sorry to bother you for the next few days. Once the trouble on the mountain is over, I'll talk to you about other things."
Sang Zhixia stepped out and whispered a few words to Ling Chu who was outside the door.
Ling Chu lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Boss. I know what to do."
Sang Zhixia didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around and went back to the house where she was staying temporarily.
The remaining chess game on the table had been solved, the tea had cooled, but Xu Yu was nowhere to be found.
Sang Zhixia sat down patiently and waited for a while. When she was about to call Song Liu to ask, there was a slight creaking sound outside the window. Xu Yu, who had disappeared for a long time, climbed in with one hand on the windowsill.
Sang Zhixia peeked out in surprise, then blinked in surprise when she thought of who was next door. "Were you eavesdropping on us on the roof?"
Xu Yu was not honest but was very angry: "How can you say it's eavesdropping?"
"I clearly just went to the roof to look at the moon for a while."
Sang Zhixia pointed to the bright sky outside the window and said with a smile, "I'll give you another chance. How about coming up with a new excuse?"
Xu Yu followed the direction she pointed and saw the sun, and immediately changed his words: "I'm going to get some sun."
