Chapter 633 These are all young eagles waiting to fly
The little ones did have the ability to show their teeth at people, but they were generally very well behaved in front of Sang Zhixia.
Xu Mingyang turned over and sat up and said nonchalantly, "Hey, sister-in-law, just stay home and take care of me. Didn't my brother say that he would take care of all the things outside?"
“What do I raise at home?”
Sang Zhixia raised an eyebrow and asked, "To gain weight?"
Xu Mingyang smiled awkwardly: "You can't say that."
"If you're home, we'll benefit from it, sister-in-law. This kind of blessing doesn't come every day."
"Will you help me drink the tonic soup that the kitchen sends later?"
"No, no."
Xu Mingyang pointed at his throat, his face full of pain: "I'm about to vomit, and taking more hawthorn pills won't help."
Sang Zhixia snorted but said nothing. Sang Yanyou couldn't bear to see his sister's curiosity go unsatisfied, so he leaned over to Sang Zhixia from his seat on the ground, leaning in close and whispering, "It's nothing, really. It's just that Second Brother Xu is taking advantage of Zuo Cheng's assets."
Sang Zhixia's eyebrows slowly raised.
Sang Yanyou pushed Chen Yun, who was smarter and could guess everything, out and said, "You go ahead."
Chen Yun rolled his eyes and muttered to himself that Sang Yanyou was a dishonest boy. He couldn't contain his excitement after letting out a big breath of anger, and sat down next to Sang Zhixia with shining eyes.
Chen Yun opened her little mouth and began to talk about the whole cause and effect.
Xu Minghui did take action against the Zuo family, but his target was not only Zuo Cheng, nor was it only the Zuo family's assets.
To be precise, all the factions closely related to Zuo Cheng suffered from Xu Minghui's evil hands.
Chen Yun said, "Second Brother Xu first found out what the Zuo family's assets were, and then the first thing he did was to poach people at a high price."
Restaurants are poaching cooks, shops are poaching waiters, and farms are poaching laborers.
People working in these places usually do not sign a fixed contract. If they want to leave, they can just leave as long as they are willing to give up the wages for that month.
As long as the price offered is right, there is no one that cannot be dug out.
Relying on his wealth, Xu Minghui directly poached all the capable workers in a series of industries of the Zuo family, leaving only an empty shell.
Sang Zhixia said playfully, "That person left, so we can just hire someone else, right? Why is it left vacant?"
"Yes, we can recruit more, but there must be people willing to go."
Chen Yun spread her hands and shrugged, "Sister Xia, you've been at home lately. You don't know, but the Zuo family has a terrible reputation outside. Anyone who can still speak a few words will curse the Zuo family when they mention it."
"In this situation, there are higher wages and a better reputation on the other side. Guess where those workers would want to go?"
The direction chosen by the working people is wise.
This in turn caused trouble for the Zuo family’s business.
All those who can work have left, and the remaining empty shell cannot be built. The industries under Zuo Cheng's name either have to close down or dare not even open the doors.
Chen Yun: "Sister Xia is recuperating at home. We know this, but people outside don't know."
"People outside thought that the kind man who distributed the grain to them was harmed by Zuo Cheng, and now he has to recuperate at home. They are very resentful towards him."
Then these very angry and enthusiastic people, relying on the fact that the law does not punish the masses and the attitude of many nobles who will never pursue the matter, began to punish evil and promote good in indignation.
Xu Yanran said delicately, "I heard that in front of the Zuo family's door, there is a mountain of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs smashed into the ground every day. Some people even throw slop buckets of manure at the door in the dead of night. It gets even more lively every night."
Sang Zhixia's face twitched.
Chen Yun said with a grin, "Then the Zuo family had to stay indoors, and the property outside was in decline. Seeing that the autumn wind was blowing and the weather was getting colder, it seemed that everything was about to be lost."
And this is just Xu Minghui's first move.
Xu Minghui's second move caught Zuo Cheng off guard.
Someone secretly sent a most fatal thing to the palace, which was detailed evidence that Zuo Cheng and his close associates accepted bribes and embezzled military pay.
Zuo Cheng has been relying on his status in front of the prince over the years to act without restraint, and even those close to him have behaved in a very inappropriate manner.
It's not that others don't know about the many dirty things that cannot be exposed to the public, but because of his old relationship with the prince, it is difficult to mention them.
But at this moment, the stinky cloth covering the rotten feet was all peeled off, and none of the bugs and maggots hiding underneath had a chance to escape.
Chen Yun crossed his arms and shook his head: "At this rate, in a few days, not only will we have to cut off our arms to save the Zuo family, but even the Wei and Xu families who are close to the Zuo family will be wiped out."
Once the fig leaf was pulled off, a ready-made handle was revealed. No matter whether it was the political enemies who had long disliked Zuo Cheng, or the others who were waiting to sharpen their knives, no one would miss such a good opportunity.
Sang Zhixia paused thoughtfully, then asked with a smile, "So what do you think will be the final fate of Zuo Cheng and his clan?"
The little ones who were asked looked at each other sideways. After a while, Sang Yanyou touched his chin and said, "I hope he dies completely, but he shouldn't die."
"I think so too."
Xu Mingyang said unwillingly, "Although I don't know why, I think the prince should spare his life."
"But it's limited to keeping you alive."
Chen Yun spread his hands to the side and said lazily, "For a person like this, even if he stays alive, it's just a facade and can't be maintained."
From now on, he will no longer be valued as before, and the Zuo family's status in the Lingnan Royal City will be much lower than before.
After going around in circles, this result is barely satisfactory.
Chen Yun thought for a moment, then touched his chin and said in surprise, "But I still can't figure out how Second Brother Xu gathered all the evidence so quickly."
"Has Brother Xu been on guard against this person for a long time?"
But if that were the case, how would Zuo Cheng have the chance to jump in front of Sang Zhixia?
Shouldn't we nip it in the bud as soon as the signs of it appear?
Allowing risks to ferment secretly is obviously not Xu Minghui's style.
They had discussed the problem that Chen Yun couldn't figure out many times in private, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.
As they talked, the little ones couldn't help but huddle together and whisper, holding on to the suspicious points they had discovered and refusing to let go.
Sang Zhixia listened to them quietly, feeling amused and emotional at the same time.
These children are young, but they are calm and sharp. Some of them may seem reckless, but they are actually smart. Given time to grow up, they will definitely not end up like everyone else.
These are all young eagles waiting to fly...
As long as the time is right, there will be a day when you can soar into the sky.
But who is collecting the evidence?
Sang Zhixia rubbed her fingertips and smiled silently.
She might have guessed it.
Sang Zhixia knew the truth but pretended to be confused, watching the little ones continue to discuss and speculate crazily.
At the same time, Xu Yu, who was far away in the royal city, read the letter in his hand at a glance and burned the letter paper with a fire stick.
Lu Xin, who was following Xu Yu, whispered, "Boss, that old bastard Zuo Cheng is completely gone this time. Now that everything has been settled in the royal city, you should be able to rest assured."
"Are you getting along?"
Xu Yu raised the corner of his lip in a sarcastic tone, his voice carrying a chilling coldness: "How can this be considered a reconciliation?"
The claws that dared to draw their swords at Sang Zhixia are still hanging on the hands of those people.
This is not the end.
Lu Xin bared his teeth in dissatisfaction, thinking that Zuo Cheng had really hit a wall this time. Before he could utter the next sentence, he saw Xu Yu's clothes hem sweeping up a gust of cold wind out of thin air when he turned around.
"Walk."
"Send the order down and set off tonight."
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment: "But... the city guard of Shuiliangzhou has not relented yet. If he can't handle things well, will..."
"Either make him kneel down and submit to Lingnan, or let him die immediately."
"You want me to teach you how to kill someone?"
