Chapter 357 The crisis of the seven powerful families!
Chapter 357 The crisis of the seven powerful families!
Their Jiangnan Su family has been passed down for thousands of years and is the oldest family among the seven great clans.
They are indeed rich enough to rival a country. In terms of family wealth, even the Lu family cannot be compared with them.
If all the good farmland and property were sold, one could indeed get 100 million taels.
But he absolutely couldn't do that.
He immediately told Qin Chuan: "Master Qin, 100 million taels is really not possible. Even if we can get it together, we have to sell all our assets. Even though I currently control the Su family, I can't get the Su family to agree."
Qin Chuan could tell that the Su family could really come up with 100 million.
This is really rich!
The rumors that they are richer than the Lu family are all true.
But they choose to keep a low profile and tell everyone that they have no money.
It seems that they have been able to pass down for thousands of years and they really understand the way to longevity.
This person came to him for help, and he must have wanted to gain benefits for the Su family and himself.
If he asks for 100 million, it is really too scary. I am afraid that he would rather flee with his family property than cooperate with him.
Qin Chuan couldn't push them into a corner.
I started bargaining with him immediately.
In the end, the two reached a consensus on 15 million taels.
Qin Chuan untied him and wrote a personal letter to him.
"I will only give you five days. If the money is not in place, you and your young lady will have to stay in this mansion forever."
Qin Chuan said with cold eyes.
"Don't worry, Lord Qin, the money will definitely be in place!" Su Wuyue was extremely confident.
"And where exactly is the mineral you mentioned? I want it now!" Qin Chuan ordered.
Su Wuyue is now determined to cling to the big tree of Qinchuan.
He said without the slightest hesitation: "Okay, I will write you a personal letter, and you can go there and control it when the time comes!"
After finishing writing.
Qin Chuan looked at the location and found that it was not far from the capital of Qian Kingdom.
It takes about three days to go back and forth on a fast horse.
After Qin Chuan collected the location, he arranged: "You will stay here during these days when the money has not arrived."
"Here!"
Su Wu Yue was very cooperative, but when Qin Chuan just stood up, he saw Su Wu Yue walk up to his unconscious female companion, pick up a vase and smash it on her head.
After his head was covered in blood, he did not stop, but picked up the broken pieces of the vase and cut his female companion's neck.
Blood is flowing...
"What are you doing!"
Qin Chuan asked.
"This person knows your secret and cannot be kept alive! She must die!" Su Wuyue said expressionlessly.
Enough!
Be flexible and have strategies!
If it can be controlled, it will be a great help to those around you. If it cannot be controlled, it will probably become a time bomb.
Do we really need him to serve us?
Qin Chuan can't make a decision for the time being.
This guy wanted to get the money first, and if he was not killed in the future, he could let him do something he found difficult.
If it is finally discovered that he is incompetent or has ulterior motives.
You need to kill it without hesitation!
"It's up to you. But this girl should be a lady from a wealthy family. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble and I won't help you deal with the body. I'll stay with you for now!" After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he chose to leave and left Su Wu Yue in the yard. He arranged for the servants in the mansion to take good care of him and never let him go out.
Qin Chuan did not stay in the imperial capital either.
He needed to figure out whether the metal ore Su Wu Yue mentioned was the same as that of the Wusun Kingdom.
If they are the same, then the big problem has been solved.
Since he had Tian Tianci staged that scene of heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth, even if there were still people who suspected that it was all fake, there were many superstitious people in ancient times.
Most people believed it, and no one dared to come to his house and ask him to hand over Zi Ling.
You can enter and leave the imperial capital freely.
He first went to the place where the cannons were cast, took some ore from the Wusun Kingdom, brought Lu Yanan and the tools for smelting the ore, and then he took Lu Yanan and Niu Dali to the place mentioned by Su Wuyue.
A day and a half later.
Qin Chuan and his two companions rode fast horses and arrived at a place with high mountains and steep cliffs.
This place is located in the southwest of the imperial capital.
Many wars have taken place here before, and many soldiers died here, so it got the name Junshan!
The surrounding area is mostly mountainous and sparsely populated.
Qin Chuan went deep into the mountains according to the address and indeed found where the mine was.
The mine has not yet been officially mined, and only two servants are left to guard it.
When Qin Chuan took out Su Wuyue's handwritten letter, the other party took Qin Chuan into the mine.
After comparing it with the ore from Wusun Kingdom.
Qin Chuan asked Lu Yanan to set up the tools and started smelting on the spot.
Two hours later.
The conclusion reached made Qin Chuan very happy.
Although the metal mines here do contain special metals obtained from the Wusun Kingdom, it is only one-tenth of the content.
But this mine belongs to Qian State and can continue to be mined. Relying on the minerals here, more cannons can be cast for sure.
After reaching this conclusion, Qin Chuan returned to the imperial capital.
After sending Lu Yanan back, he went to the palace to find Nangong Wan and Xue Wei.
Let the Blood Guards find a group of reliable people to control the minerals and start mining as soon as possible.
Two days later.
As expected, the people from the Jiangnan Su family sent 15 million taels.
All of them were exchanged for gold bars.
When it was unloaded into the yard, it was like a small mountain.
After asking Qingyue to send him to the palace and hand him over to Nangong Wan, Qin Chuan met Su Wuyue again.
For a few days.
Su Wuyue was accompanied by the corpse of his female companion, but he was still in high spirits and looked as if he didn't care about life and death. It was obvious that he had held countless lives in his hands.
Qin Chuan has also thought it through these days!
He decided to use Su Wuyue!
However, this method of use naturally cannot give him the greatest trust as directly as Qingyue did.
Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back: "Su Wuyue, I see your sincerity, but I only use useful people. You need to prove your ability."
"Lord Qin, what you said is absolutely right! I have something I want to do for you right now!" Su Wuyue said eagerly.
"You've already thought about it? Then tell me!"
"Here!"
Su Wuyue said excitedly: "With you here, Ling Huanyu has nothing to fear.
Therefore, I think the most important thing I need to help you do right now is to take this opportunity to weaken the seven powerful families.
This time, His Majesty asked all their core members to go to the imperial capital. There should be a large number of them who are secretly colluding with Ling Huanyu, or they will go to other countries to seek refuge. It is absolutely impossible for them to go to the imperial capital to give up their lives.
Therefore, I want to organize some people to assassinate the core members of the powerful families who have fled to other countries for refuge! "
Qin Chuan remained calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart.
He didn't expect that the seven major families would seek refuge in other countries.
Now that Su Wu Yue had reminded him of this, he realized that the seven great families had been flirting with other national forces before. They only needed to pay some price to seek refuge in other countries. In this way, they could completely avoid going to the imperial capital to give themselves up, and they wouldn't have to worry about Ling Huanyu.
After all, they calculated correctly that the Emperor of Qian would never abandon Qian just because they left!
Su Wuyue is indeed a talented person!
Now Qin Chuan needs to concentrate all his energy on dealing with Ling Huanyu, and he really cannot spare any manpower to deal with the members of the wealthy families who have fled abroad for refuge.
If Su Wuyue could do this, it would be a great help to him.
"Su Wuyue, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you can do a good job!" Qin Chuan agreed.
"Lord Qin, I will definitely do it beautifully and inflict heavy casualties on those people from the seven major clans!" Su Wuyue said confidently.
Qin Chuan did not doubt his ability. According to this man's calculations, if he put all his efforts into plotting against those people from the seven powerful families who fled in panic, they would indeed suffer heavy casualties.
In order to prevent him from playing tricks, Qin Chuan used the same old trick and forced him to take the poison.
What surprised Qin Chuan was that this guy was very cooperative.
Could it be that this guy really wants to follow him?
Or are you willing to be loyal?
Don't be deceived by appearances, just see what the final result is!
"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news." Qin Chuan waved his hand and signaled him to leave.
Su Wuyue bowed respectfully to Qin Chuan again, then he carried the body of his female companion and left.
She was crying as she walked, and she looked as if she was extremely sad.
What a good actor!
Another three days passed.
The Blood Guard then sent the Shadow Guard to deliver a message that she had successfully taken control of the mine and had begun mining.
In addition, according to the investigation of the shadow guards, the core members of the powerful families headed by the Lu family have begun to migrate to neighboring countries in batches.
After the shadow guard left, Qingyue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chuan, the actions of the seven noble families are now consistent with what Su Wuyue said. If he listens to him, he will kill the core members of the seven noble families who are seeking refuge abroad.
So what are you going to do with the Ouyang family?
Should we let them seek refuge abroad, or should we let them come to the imperial capital?"
"I have my own arrangements. Now follow me to Ouyang Xun's home." Qin Chuan ordered.
"What are you going to do with him?"
"You'll know once you go there!"
The effort of a stick of incense.
Qin Chuan then came to Ouyang Xun's house.
Now that the Ouyang family has been unified, Ouyang Xun has been sent back by Ouyang Jinglei to continue serving as his Minister of Works.
When Ouyang Xun saw Qin Chuan coming, his heart sank suddenly. Based on his understanding of Qin Chuan, this guy definitely had no good intentions in coming here on his own initiative!
