The fury in Sima Chang Sheng's heart was almost uncontrollable.
On the way back, Sima Chang Sheng didn't say anything.
After returning to the Sima Clan, Sima Chang Sheng and Su Jiang sat down. Su Jiang looked at Sima Chang Sheng and asked, "Elder Sima, Du Ruhui has already made his move in Daizhou. How should we deal with him? "
Sima Chang Sheng said, "If Du Ruhui exists in Daizhou, then there's no us. If we exist, then there's no place for Du Ruhui. At this point, it's time to decide victory and defeat. It's time to get rid of Du Ruhui. I originally thought that even if there was a battle, it wouldn't be so intense. But now, that's not likely. Zhou Yun He's death has already broken the balance. "
Su Jiang rolled his eyes.
He had already asked how they should deal with this, but Sima Chang Sheng was still spouting nonsense.
Nothing was of use.
Su Jiang said again, "Sima Chang Sheng, enough nonsense. Right now, let's talk about how to deal with Du Ruhui. I know that we and the Du Clan can't coexist. One of us has to die. But, what should we do? "
He and Sima Chang Sheng didn't have a good relationship.
They didn't get along well.
Moreover, he wasn't afraid of Sima Chang Sheng. After all, he was a Sima. Even if his power was weaker than the elder's, he still couldn't be underestimated.
Sima Chang Sheng said, "I think it's very simple to deal with Du Ruhui. We just have to agree to his arrangements on the surface, but refuse to carry them out. Apart from that, we should also let some things happen in Yanmen City and increase the number of problems. As long as something happens in the city and Du Ruhui can't deal with it, the matter will spread to Chang 'an. I don't believe that Du Ruhui can stay in Daizhou forever. "
Su Jiang said, "What kind of trouble?"
Sima Chang Sheng said, "Naturally, it's a murder case. It's very simple. We'll create a serial murder case. Today, we'll kill one person in the west of the city. Tomorrow, we'll kill another in the south. If Du Ruhui can't deal with it, he won't be able to stay in Daizhou. He can only leave with his tail between his legs. "
Su Jiang thought for a moment and said, "If we want to serial murder, it'll definitely affect the common people. Twelve ordinary people were killed in a row. These people were all innocent. "
Sima Chang Sheng clenched his teeth and roared almost hysterically, "How can there be no losses if you want to topple Du Ruhui? If he could defeat Du Ruhui, everything would be worth it. It's just some lowly commoners who died. It's not a big deal. "
Hearing this, Su Jiang fell silent.
Even though he was supported by the Wang Clan, he still couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Sima Chang Sheng glanced at Su Jiang and said, "Su Jiang, there's no need to feel pity. You have to know that Du Ruhui won't show you any mercy. "
"You are a member of the Wang family. Everything is given to you by the Wang family. If you are unable to complete the task entrusted to you by the Wang family, then the Wang family will not give you any face, and will not even support you anymore. "
"Similarly, because you are a member of the Wang family, Du Ruhui will always target you. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for you to establish yourself in Daizhou. "
Sima Changsheng said, "You have no other choice."
Su Jiang still looked a little hesitant.
When Sima Chang Sheng saw Su Jiang's expression, he said, "Su Jiang, do you know why I've always been the one suppressing you, while you can only lower yourself to me?"
Su Jiang said, "Because I'm not ruthless enough?"
"Yes!"
Sima Changsheng said in a low voice, "You've always been soft-hearted and not ruthless enough. You and I are both ordinary people, not people with any background, nor are we members of any great clans. "
"It wasn't easy for us to reach this point."
"Just like now, it's just a few lowly commoners who died."
"The most important thing is to protect yourself. You shouldn't give your unnecessary weakness and pity to these lowly commoners. Because in their eyes, they might even wish for you to die. "
Sima Changsheng said, "Your status doesn't allow you to pity them."
Su Jiang said, "I need to think about it."
Sima Changsheng said, "I can't give you much time. At most, I'll give you a day. If you don't cooperate, I'll carry out this plan alone. When the time comes, I'll send a letter to the Wang family. If the Wang family knows that you don't cooperate, and that you don't target Du Ruhui, you can imagine the consequences. Everything you have now will be lost, and you might even die without a burial place. "
Su Jiang trembled when he heard this.
He still stood up and walked out, because he needed to think about it. He could work for the Wang family, but all these years, Su Jiang didn't do anything against the law, and he didn't die for the Wang family.
Because of this, Sima Changsheng's suggestion made Su Jiang's heart very conflicted.
Sima Changsheng looked at Su Jiang's back and shook his head with a cold smile. The reason why he was hostile to Su Jiang was that Su Jiang's nature was biased towards the common people, and he would always go against Sima Changsheng. Of course, Sima Changsheng never treated Su Jiang as a competitor, because Su Jiang had a bottom line, and his weakness was too obvious. He was the easiest person to deal with.
After Su Jiang left the Sima residence, he stood at the door.
His surroundings were as dark as ink.
The pitch-black darkness made it hard for one to breathe.
"Sigh …"
Su Jiang sighed, then took large strides and returned to his carriage, instructing, "Return to the residence!"
The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage moved forward, heading towards the Su family.
The Su family's residence was no longer in the south of the city, but in the east. Fortunately, the distance from the south of the city to the east was not far. It didn't take long for Su Jiang to return to the residence.
Right now, the sky was even darker than before.
It was already past dawn.
Su Jiang sat in the study room, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. In his mind, Sima Changsheng's words from before kept appearing. From the bottom of his heart, he wasn't willing to let the common people die innocently, because this didn't conform to his style of doing things, and it wasn't the reason for him to be an official.
During this time, Su Jiang's old wife came.
Su Jiang's old wife looked at Su Jiang sitting there and asked why. Su Jiang shook his head and didn't say much. He let his old wife go and rest, and he still sat alone in the study room.
"Bang! Bang! "
The sound of knocking suddenly rang out.
Su Jiang said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, but it was the butler who entered. Su Jiang hadn't rested, and the butler hadn't rested either. After he entered, he bowed respectfully and said, "Patriarch, the gatekeeper just reported that Manager Du has come to visit. Now, he has been led to the hall by the gatekeeper to take a seat. "
"What?"
Su Jiang's face revealed a surprised expression.
It was already past midnight, and it was even close to midnight. It was so late, and Du Ruhui actually came.
The butler said again, "It's Manager Du who came."
Su Jiang waved his hand and said, "Got it. You can leave. I'll go to the hall immediately."
"Yes!"
The butler turned around and walked out.
However, when the butler walked to the door of the study room, Su Jiang suddenly said, "Wait a moment, the news of Manager Du's arrival can't be revealed. Instruct him on this matter. "
"Understood!"
After the butler agreed, he turned around and left.
Su Jiang was still puzzled in his heart. Why did Du Ruhui come so late? He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he didn't think too much about it. After changing his clothes, he went to the hall.
