Chapter 36 The Su Family Was Copied
On the clear water, the willows in Su Di, red men and green women laughed and laughed.
Yang Fan and Su Tingting walked side by side on Su Dike, with their affection and envious eyes coming from the people around them.
Facing the rising sun and breathing fresh air, Yang Fan recalled yesterday's incident in the gambling house, and broke Zhang Yang and Chen Suan and crippled his hands and feet, which was considered avenge that he would not bully them before.
However, the thrilling dangers are still vivid in my mind, and it is thrilling to think back.
Seeing that Yang Fan didn't speak for a long time, Su Tingting asked on his own initiative: "When will you come back?"
Yang Fan was really hard to answer this question, so he joked: "Don't worry, my husband, I will miss you, my wife!"
"Stupid! Who is your wife?" Su Tingting pushed Yang Fan and said coquettishly.
Yang Fan didn't plan to let her go, so he continued to joke: "Don't forget, I won the engagement back! According to Zhang Yang's words, I am your legal fiancé!"
Su Tingting looked shy, blinked her eyes and said in a sweet voice: "If you want to be someone else's fiancé, you are willing to change your surname to Su and marry into the Su family!"
Yang Fan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "That's probably going to disappoint you Miss Su! I, Yang Fan, am sorry for my parents. If I change my name again, it would be even more unfilial!"
Su Tingting exclaimed, a little unbelievable. In her opinion, it seemed that Yang Fan had already tied up her heart. It can be seen that Yang Fan refused to marry into the family without hesitation. This behavior made her feel panicked.
Seeing her appearance, Yang Fan laughed in his heart and continued, "Don't worry, although I won't marry into your Su family, I will take you to elope! How about it, how about going to Tokyo Bianliang with my husband?"
Su Tingting exclaimed, and was startled. She didn't dare to look at Yang Fan, and lowered her head and said hesitantly: "Brother Yang, you also know that your father is old. Tingting is only one daughter. You can't stay away from such a big family business!"
Yang Fan was mentally prepared from the beginning. He knew that Su Tingting had been using him, but he just wanted it!
So when Yang Fan heard Su Tingting's words, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled freely and said, "Don't be afraid! I'm joking with you!"
Su Tingting looked at Yang Fan with a complicated look on her face. She always thought that Yang Fan was in her control, but at this moment she suddenly realized that she was wrong.
The two were silent at the same time, both of them knew each other clearly, but they both tacitly understood and did not reveal each other.
The scenery is still magnificent, but no one who admires it is in a mood.
Seeing that Su Tingting didn't say anything, Yang Fan took the initiative to say: "Let's leave tomorrow, and there are still some things to clean up today. I'll say goodbye first!"
Su Tingting just nodded, lowered her head, and said nothing.
At this moment, a thudded footsteps came, and a servant from the Su family ran over and rushed to Su Tingting and Yang Fan quickly, and said anxiously: "Miss, I have something urgent to come to you, so I'll ask you to go back quickly!"
Seeing that the servant looked anxious, Su Tingting immediately said goodbye to Yang Fan and left in a hurry.
Yang Fan watched Su Tingting leave, feeling a little reluctant. However, seeing that she did not ride in the comfortable carriage, she directly recruited the servant's horse to leave, he looked tight, so he stepped forward and asked, "What big thing happened? Is so anxious?"
The servant turned around and saw that it was Yang Fan, so he said, "The villain is not very clear. It's just that a large group of officials came to the mansion just now. The magistrate Wu came to the door in person and said he wanted to search the Su family!"
"Searched the house? What crime did the Su family commit?" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, felt something was wrong, and continued to ask.
The servant thought for a while and said, "The villain was leaving anxiously and didn't hear anything. It seemed that something was wrong with the tribute purchased by the Su family for Hangzhou Prefecture!"
Yang Fan was worried that Zhang Yang would take revenge on Su's family and wanted to learn more, but the servant knew very little.
However, the servant begged: "Young Master Yang, although you are leaving the Su family and going to the capital, you should go and take a look, maybe you can help me!"
When people said this, Yang Fan was embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
When Yang Fan arrived at Su Mansion, the surroundings were already filled with people watching the fun.
A team of officials surrounded the Su Mansion and the whole family were blocked. At the door, the servants and maids of the Su Mansion kept leaving with big bags and small bags. The officials in the door were strictly inspected, and they were inevitably allowed to eat and get the card before they could be released.
"The government sealed the Su Mansion and was not allowed to enter!"
When the two officials saw that Yang Fan was about to go in, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Yang Fan took out two pieces of silver and handed them over, said good things, and then let him in.
When I entered the Su Mansion, the atmosphere was very tense. There were officials everywhere searching the Su family's property, and boxes of things were sealed and moved out.
When Yang Fan came to the entrance of the hall, he saw Mrs. Su crying, holding a handkerchief and snot and tears, muttering constantly, scolding the government and pirates.
Looking at Su Tingting again, although her eyes were red and tears were hurt, she was much calmer and was thinking about countermeasures.
Xiao Cui's sharp-eyed eyes. When she saw Yang Fan coming in, she immediately shouted: "Miss, it's Mr. Yang who is here!"
When Su Tingting heard that Yang Fan was coming, she was happy first, and then she faded. She stood up and asked, "Aren't you going back to pack your things and leaving for the capital? Why did you come to my house?"
Yang Fan asked without answering, "What happened? Why did the government raid your house?"
This matter is hard to describe. Su Tingting asked Yang Fan to sit down and asked Xiao Cui to serve tea, and then explained slowly.
It turned out that the Su family's fleet recently went to Dashi, Sanfoqi, Xintiao and other countries to traffic in a batch of precious goods, including pearls, ivory, rhinoceros horns, spices, corals, glazed, fragrant rose water, etc., which were all high-end goods sold in the mainland of the Song Dynasty, worth millions. Among them, the ivory, spices, fragrant rose water and other goods were purchased by Hangzhou's prefect Wu Tianliang, who was ordered by the Queen Mother and entrusted the Su family's commercial port to order overseas. As a result, on the way back, the Su family fleet was robbed by unknown pirates while passing through the Jiaomen Passenger overseas in Mingzhou.
The situation of the Su family is that not only is the goods worth millions gone, but the Su family fleet and hundreds of crew members are also unknown. However, Su Tingting's father, Su Li, received a deposit of 50,000 guan from Hangzhou Prefecture in advance and made a promise to deliver the goods as scheduled. If the contract is breached, the compensation will be ten times the amount. Now that the goods are robbed, the compensation alone will be obtained by the Hangzhou Prefecture. Moreover, the goods purchased by the Empress Dowager ** will be held accountable. Once the time limit is exceeded, the Su family will be held accountable and was criticized by the court.
Hangzhou magistrate Wu Tianliang learned that the Su family fleet was robbed, and immediately brought people to investigate all the Su family's industries and arrested Su Li to prison.
After learning the whole story, Yang Fan looked puzzled and asked, "The final delivery deadline is still some time before. It is logical that the government should arrest the pirates first and retrieve the robbed goods of the Su family, but why did they so much unable to hold back, search your Su family and arrest Master Su? Isn't your Su family very familiar with Master Wu? Isn't this face for you!"
Su Tingting smiled bitterly and said, "The Su family has a million dollars, but after all, it is a lowly businessman. Wu Tianliang is very generous in the Su family, all for the money of the Su family. Secretly, he actually wanted to seize the handle of the Su family and occupy all the Su family's property! Now he has finally found a reasonable excuse!"
Yang Fan sighed and comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a solution!"
Su Tingting said miserably: "My mind is in chaos now and I can't think of anything!"
Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "The problem lies in that batch of goods. As long as the batch of goods ordered by the government are replenished on time, then there is no reason for the Prime Minister Wu to arrest your father and confiscate your house!"
Su Tingting still smiled bitterly and shook her head, "There is only one month left before delivery. The goods ordered by Master Wu are from overseas. It takes at least half a year to travel back and forth, and it is too late!"
Yang Fan suggested again: "It's not just your Su family who go out to sea. You can try to buy from other merchants. Even if you pay less, it's important to keep the Su family first, so as to make a comeback in the future!"
Su Tingting forced a smile. She was grateful to Yang Fan for his advice, so she replied: "It's not that I didn't think about it! It's just that the Su family's funds are all on this batch of goods, and there is no spare funds to acquire them from other merchants! What's more, Wu Tianliang may not give us a chance to turn the tables, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to search the Su family! Now, we are penniless and we may have to sleep on the street tonight!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "How can I let my wife sleep on the street? Don't worry, come to my house first, and let's make a long-term plan!"
Su Tingting was both ashamed and annoyed, and said unhappy: "Brother Yang, it's time? People are so anxious! You are still flirting with others!"
Yang Fan smiled awkwardly, and at this moment, a familiar voice came from outside.
"Miss, brother is here!"
