Now that Su Hong took the initiative to ask, Wei Zhe couldn't help but sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Su's eyes, so I won't beat around the bush anymore. To be honest, I took the liberty to come here late at night." Visiting at home is really asking Mr. Su for something."

Now that Wei Zhe had reached this point, Su Hong had no choice but to say: "What did Shang Shuling say? Since you and I are both officials in the Ministry of Shangshu, if there is anything that the lower officials can help, just open your mouth." Yes."

Wei Zhe sighed again, shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I didn't come here today for myself, but for the affairs of the Yang family."

"About the Yang family?" Su Hong couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, but he quickly realized and asked tentatively, "Master Shang Shuling is talking about the Yang family's children violating the prohibition to brew wine without permission?"

Wei Zhe nodded: "Exactly!"

Su Hong looked a little embarrassed for a moment: "I have heard about this matter, but I heard that the Sili Captain's Mansion has caught the current situation, and the two of them have indeed violated the law of the country, so we don't want to intervene indiscriminately." , lest people in the world say that the court is unfair."

"Master Su misunderstood me. I didn't mean to intercede for the two youngsters of the Yang family." Wei Zhe shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Since the two of them violated the laws of the country, they should be punished according to the law, but the two of them After all, I am a descendant of Hongnong Yang's family, although the Yang family didn't know about their private brewing, let alone participated in it, but they are also worried about being implicated in this matter."

"I think Mr. Shang Shuling is too worried. As long as the Yang family is not involved, I believe that the Sili Xiaowei's mansion will never wrong the Yang family." Su Hong stroked his beard with a smile and comforted him.

Wei Zhe still sighed, shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, I heard that Taifu Yang is still very worried about this matter, and has trouble sleeping and eating. And the Wei and Yang families are family friends, I can't bear to see Taipu Yang like this, so Wanting to help the Yang family, that's why I had the cheek to visit the Su manor in the middle of the night to see Mr. Su."

"Master Shang Shuling, you don't have to beat around the bush anymore. I'm afraid what you really want to see is not the lower official, but His Royal Highness King Qi."

Even though the words went around a lot, how could Su Hong fail to understand Wei Zhe's meaning when it came to this point.After all, the case of the Yang family's children making wine privately is being investigated by the Sili Xiaowei's house, and the Sili Xiaowei is Qi Wang Xiao Jie, and he, Su Hong, is Qi Wang's grandfather-in-law.

After Wei Zhe said so much, he just wanted to connect with Xiao Jie, the king of Qi. Su Hong was sure that Wei Zhe was so desperate to see his grandson-in-law, it was definitely not just for the sake of the Yang family, but on behalf of their Wei family. I want to have a good talk with Xiao Jie.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Mr. Su. I hope Mr. Su will help me with this for the sake of my colleagues." Now that Su Hong had already guessed his intention of coming, Wei Zhe simply didn't pretend and had a showdown.

"The lower official understands the meaning of Lord Shang Shuling, but the lower official can't be the master of His Highness King Qi's affairs, but the lower official can pass on a message for Lord Shang Shuling, but whether he wants to see Lord Shang Shuling depends on His Highness. meaning." Su Hong pondered for a moment, neither agreeing nor refusing outright, but said that he could pass on a message for him.

However, Su Hong also feels that his grandson-in-law has made too many enemies now, which is not a good thing.And the Wei family is the head of the aristocratic families in Guanzhong and Heluo, since they are willing to take the initiative to reconcile with Xiao Jie, he is also happy to facilitate this matter.

Wei Zhe couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, Mr. Su, I will take care of everything."

……

A carriage stopped in a hurry outside the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Tao Lu, the Patriarch of the Tao family, got off the carriage and hurried towards the gate.

And the waiter of Prince Qi's mansion had already got the meaning of King Qi Xiao Jie, and when he saw Tao Lu, he asked other servants to take him to the study of Prince Qi's mansion, and told him that King Qi had been waiting for him in the study for a long time.

Tao Lu didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, and couldn't help but continue to quicken his pace.

When he rushed to the study, he unexpectedly saw that his granddaughter Tao Han was also there, but her eyes were slightly red, as if she was still trying to avoid his eyes.

Tao Lu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and felt uneasy for no reason.

Sure enough, Xiao Jie glanced at Tao Han, hesitated for a moment, and still sighed, telling him a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue——

Someone found two rotten corpses outside the city of Luoyang. They were identified and verified to be Tao Zhi and Tao Wang and his son.

Tao Lu's eyes darkened, his body shook a few times, and he almost passed out on the spot.

"Grandfather." Tao Han shouted, and hurriedly supported Tao Lu.

Tao Lu slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of muddy tears flowed down his thin face.

When he first learned that Tao Zhi had stolen the plates and seals from the Tao family's bank, he wished he could kill these two unworthy descendants with his own hands, lest they harm the Tao family.

However, with the help of Xiao Jie, the Tao family escaped safely, but there was no news of Tao Zhi, Tao Wang and his son. Many people have searched for their whereabouts, but there is still no news.

At that time, Tao Lu had already realized that their father and son were probably dead, but there was no one alive or dead, Tao Lu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

But when he really learned the news of his son and grandson's sudden death from Xiao Jie, Tao Lu still couldn't accept it for a while.

After a long time, Tao Lu finally calmed down, and heaved a long sigh: "The father and son were obsessed with ghosts, they were used by others, and they even tried to collude with outsiders to harm the Tao family. It can be said that they deserve death...but now that they are dead That's it, let him pass the past, anyway, their surname is Tao, and I hope His Highness can hand over their bones to me, let me take them back for a good burial, and fulfill the last responsibility of a father and grandfather."

Xiao Jie nodded: "Don't worry, grandfather, I will send someone to send their bones to Tao Mansion later."

"Your Highness has a heart." Tao Lu glanced at Tao Han, and then forced a smile, "Your Highness asked me to come here today, I'm afraid it's not just because of those two unworthy descendants."

He knew in his heart that if it was just to inform him of the death of Tao Zhi and his son, there was absolutely no need for Xiao Jie to send someone to call him to the door, he only needed to send someone to send the bones back to Tao Mansion.

And now that his granddaughter Tao Han was present, Tao Lu naturally realized that Xiao Jie must have something very important to tell him.

Xiao Jie couldn't help secretly admiring Tao Lu's sophistication, and he stopped beating around the bush, but said bluntly: "To tell the truth, the Wei family approached me through the Su family and wanted to reconcile with me."

Although Xiao Jie didn't say much, Tao Lu still understood what Xiao Jie was asking about himself. After all, Tao Zhi and his son died at the hands of the Wei family, and the Tao family contributed the most to deal with the Wei family. If Xun wanted to reconcile with the Wei family, he would naturally have to take the feelings of the Tao family into account.

Tao Lu didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes, obviously struggling.

Thinking about it, I just learned the news of the death of my son and grandson, but the next moment my enemy wants to smile at me, how can I make up my mind.

Tao Han looked at his grandfather and then at his husband, feeling very uncomfortable.

Although she didn't have too much affection for her uncle and cousin, they were her relatives anyway. Now that she heard of their sudden death, she still felt a little sad in her heart, and she was even more worried that her grandfather would be unable to hold on when he heard the bad news.

But he also understands his husband, these aristocratic families have strong foundations, and they cannot be completely eradicated overnight. If they refuse to reconcile, they will be against her husband forever.

While Tao Han was still tangled in every possible way, Tao Lu finally opened his eyes and said slowly, "Tao Zhi and Tao Wang are self-inflicted, and they are no different from others. How could they ruin His Highness's important affairs, Tao?" Zhi supports all decisions of His Highness."

Tao Han breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little distressed in his heart. He was afraid that his grandfather had made such a determination when he said these words.

Xiao Jie was also a little moved, and nodded heavily: "Thank you for your understanding, grandfather. I, Xiao Jie, swear to God that I will never fail the Tao family in my life!"
