Du Ruhui's expression was resolute. "Next, I will spread the news that Zhou Yunhe took bribes and perverted the law during his tenure. He even embezzled money and sent it to the Wang family.
"Once the news spreads, Zhou Yunhe will be finished.
"The commoners have always hated corrupt officials, especially the Wang family's involvement. The commoners will also be hostile to the Wang family. At that time, the Wang family will lose its foundation in Daizhou.
"Even if there are countless officials promoted by the Wang family, without the support of the commoners, these officials will become rootless duckweeds. When the time comes, I can remove them one by one and also ensure the stability of Daizhou. "
Du Ruhui said, "Su Sima, you are different. Therefore, I hope that you can repent and rein in the horse at the edge of the cliff.
"As long as you turn back, I will still use you as a sima. When I get rid of Sima Changsheng, I will promote you to be the acting governor. This, is my promise to you. "
"For you, if you can follow your heart and be promoted, if you can benefit the commoners, why not?
"I believe that you will make the right choice."
Du Ruhui spoke frankly and frankly, talking about the current situation and his promise to Su Jiang.
Su Jiang's expression began to show hesitation.
His heart began to waver.
If Sima Changsheng didn't want to kill the commoners to force Du Ruhui, Su Jiang wouldn't have wavered. On the other hand, Sima Changsheng wanted to kill the innocent commoners. Su Jiang was already wavering. He wasn't willing to help the tyrant and kill the innocent.
Now, Du Ruhui had promised not to pursue his past and wanted to promote him.
With several reasons added together, Su Jiang was moved.
When Du Ruhui saw Su Jiang's expression, he already knew what Su Jiang was thinking. He continued, "Su Sima, to speak the truth, putting aside everything else, just in terms of benefits.
"Even if the Wang family is an aristocratic family, they are still no match for the imperial court.
"Even if the aristocratic families have deep roots, if the imperial court really wants to deal with them, the aristocratic families won't be able to resist. Moreover, what can the Wang family give Su Sima? It's impossible for them to give Su Sima anything.
"On the contrary, the current Wang family needs Su Sima's support.
"The imperial court is different. You didn't have any connections in the past, but now, I'll give you one. Now that you've come to assist me in wiping out the Wang Clan's power in Daizhou, you are part of my bloodline, as well as the Qin King's bloodline. "
"You will have a foundation in the court."
Du Ruhui promised, "In the future, your future won't be limited to just being a field marshal or a senior official. You might even be able to become the governor of a province."
When Su Jiang heard this, his heart calmed down.
Entering the Duke of Qin's Manor was an opportunity.
The most important thing was that Su Jiang didn't need to go against his conscience. Su Jiang no longer hesitated and said, "Steward Du, I'm willing to change my family's status and work for Steward Du."
"Alright!"
Du Ruhui wore a smile on his face.
It was a success!
He had the soldiers Cao Can and Xu Youwen. In addition to Su Jiang, this Sima, and the eliminated Zhou Yunhe, Du Ruhui's strength was actually not inferior to Sima Chang Sheng's.
He had more confidence in dealing with Sima Chang Sheng.
Du Ruhui said, "With Sima Su's help, the entire situation in Daizhou will shift more smoothly. This official came to Daizhou not only to tidy up the province, but also to let the people of Daizhou live a good life. "
Su Jiang's expression was solemn as he said solemnly, "Steward Du, you are now facing a big problem."
"What problem?"
Du Ruhui asked.
Su Jiang said, "Earlier, I went to Sima Chang Sheng's residence. Sima Chang Sheng has now decided on a plan to deal with Steward Du. His plan is very simple. Starting tomorrow, he will start killing people in Daizhou's Gate of Yan. "
"He will kill one tomorrow, one the day after tomorrow, and twelve people in a row for twelve days."
"Think about it. If twelve people die in a row, the murder case will gradually blow up, causing the whole city to be in a state of panic. Then, the matter will reach the Chang 'an court. When His Majesty intervenes, Steward Du will be unable to solve the case and will be removed from his position due to his incompetence."
"This is Sima Chang Sheng's plan."
Su Jiang said, "Previously in Sima Chang Sheng's residence, I didn't agree and said that I needed to think about it. So Sima Chang Sheng promised to give me some time. Tomorrow, I will reply to Sima Chang Sheng. He won't give me too much time. "
Du Ruhui's pupils shrank after hearing this. A fierce look appeared in his eyes as he said coldly, "Sima Chang Sheng is really ruthless! In order to deal with this official, he wants to slaughter the people. "
Su Jiang said, "It's precisely because it will affect the innocent people that I didn't agree for the time being. In fact, before Steward Du came, I was already thinking about this matter. "
Du Ruhui said, "Sima Chang Sheng should be executed."
After a pause, Du Ruhui said, "Sima Su, did Sima Chang Sheng commit any crimes during his tenure?"
"Yes, but there is no evidence!"
Su Jiang shook his head and said, "Sima Chang Sheng once wantonly eliminated dissidents and suppressed enemies. Originally, there were several people in the Six Cao Army who were not promoted by the Wang Family. Sima Chang Sheng arranged to eliminate dissidents and replace them with people who are biased towards the Wang Family. If not for Steward Du's arrival, Sima Chang Sheng would have dealt with Xu Youwen next. "
After a pause, Su Jiang continued, "Sima Chang Sheng is extremely cautious when doing things. He won't leave behind any evidence for the things he has committed. It's almost impossible to find a loophole in Sima Chang Sheng's actions. "
After Du Ruhui heard this, he sighed.
It seemed that it was not possible to get evidence of Sima Chang Sheng from Su Jiang.
Du Ruhui said, "To deal with Sima Chang Sheng, we have to think of another way. Yes, for the time being, we will start with the assassination. When the time comes, we will take down the assassins sent by the Sima Family and use them to identify Sima Chang Sheng. As long as there is a crime, there will be no problem. "
Su Jiang said, "Steward Du is right. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Sima Family and inform Sima Chang Sheng of my agreement. Sima Chang Sheng will arrange for people to take action. When the time comes, I will try to find out the time and location of the operation so that we can catch the assassin. "
"Okay, then it's decided."
Du Ruhui nodded in reply.
Together with Su Jiang, Du Ruhui discussed many other details. Du Ruhui had always been good at gathering information, so after Su Jiang submitted, he asked a lot of questions and gathered all the information he needed to know.
Du Ruhui got up and left at the end of the Chou hour.
Su Jiang personally sent Du Ruhui to the door. He looked at Du Ruhui's departing figure with a deep gaze. Although he had already submitted to Du Ruhui, he was still somewhat nervous. That was because he did not know what the final situation would be. After all, the Wang Family was powerful.
In short, he had to have a clear conscience.
This was the only thing Su Jiang could do.
Du Ruhui returned to his residence, somewhat tired. But as soon as he returned, Du Qi came. When Du Qi had returned, he had wanted to see Du Ruhui and tell him about what had happened in the Tang Family. But when he learned that Du Ruhui had left, Du Qi could only wait.
Du Qi said seriously, "Father, you left the residence so late. What did you do?"
Du Ruhui said, "I went to instigate Su Jiang."
Du Qi said, "What was the result?"
Du Ruhui stroked his beard and said with a smile, "How could there be a possibility of failure when instigated for Father? That Sima Su Jiang is already working for me. In Daizhou, not only do we have soldiers Cao Can and Xu Youwen, we also have Sima Su Jiang. Moreover, Su Jiang's identity is hidden for the time being. It will be beneficial for our next operation. "
Du Qi said, "Father is wise!"
Du Ruhui laughed, quite pleased with himself. His son had convinced Xu Youwen. Now that he had convinced Su Jiang, he was not to be outdone. So he was very happy.
