The four young masters of the aristocratic families lived together and cooked their own meals on weekdays. They only got this opportunity to hone their skills through connections in their clan. They could rest for three days every month and go home to get rice and flour for food.

Su Shao took Su Shilin and his son to Su Zhen's yard for lunch.

There is a girl here who specializes in cooking.

Su Zhen cleans his face and washes his hands.

Xiao Luo was busy setting the table. There were cold cucumbers, stir-fried beans, pork meatball soup, a big bowl of braised pork, and a plate of refreshing Sichuan pickles.

Xiao Luo asked: "Princess, can we finish planting the corn seedlings today?"

"When all the crops below the mountain are planted, Dahu's family will lead the farmers to plant on the mountain."

Su Shilin took two bites and found the food refreshing and beautiful. "Princess, the Jiangnan Su family was confiscated, but not all members of the family are guilty. Can you ask the court to spare the innocent members of the family?"

Su Zhen froze for a moment.

Chunmei said nothing and looked towards Xia Yang's room. Xia Yang must be striving to become a great martial artist. He went into the back mountain. He was most worried about the princess. If he saw Su Mo coming to his house, he would definitely be unhappy.

Su Shilin begged, "Princess, please give the innocent people of the Su family a chance to live. They deserve death for their crimes."

Su Zhen said: "There are no innocent people in the Yangzhou Su family and the Jinling Su family! If you enjoy the family's glory and protection, you will naturally have to bear the consequences of the family's parasites."

Her cold words shocked Su Shilin and Su Mo and left them speechless.

She has changed. When she was working in the fields, she was easy-going and very close to the people, but now when it comes to Su's crimes, she is very cold.

Su Shilin said: "Please ask the princess to intercede..."

In her words, there are indeed no innocent people.

Su Zhen continued, "The first charge against the Su family in Yangzhou and the Yao family in Fuzhou is the same, they privately raised over a thousand soldiers and were guilty of conspiracy to rebel.

The Su family of Yangzhou committed crimes in the Yangzhou area, forcing women to become prostitutes and running brothels. In the past ten years, the number of Yangzhou residents harmed by the scourge reached 383 households, with more than 1,800 direct victims. These people were forced to lose their families and families, and their cries to heaven and earth were ignored. It was a horrible sight. The Su family of Yangzhou deserved their punishment, and it would be difficult to apologize to the innocent people if they did not die!"

The Su family of Yangzhou could neither plead for mercy nor help.

The disaster is caused by the aristocratic families. When they occupy a certain area, they become the local tyrants of that area, and even the officials are helpless against them.

The local officials are unable to deal with them, and only the Supervisory Guards can take action, suddenly surround the entire clan, bring those who have violated the law to justice, and kill them on the spot. They cannot even be given a chance to survive, otherwise they will definitely seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack.

"We tried to capture the most heinous members of the Su family in Yangzhou, but they resisted wildly. Together with the government soldiers, they killed more than 370 officers and soldiers, and have been convicted of treason. The entire Su family in Yangzhou has nine branches, and all the male members have been beheaded, and half of the women have died tragically!"

She knows more than Su Jingzhai.

Chunmei took the initiative to report the progress over there to her.

Chunmei said that the Su family in Yangzhou seemed to have received the news in advance. When the Supervisory Guards led their troops to surround the family, the masters, ladies and wives were escorted out by palace soldiers from the main gate and the back gate. During the fight, many officers and soldiers died.

The Supervisory Guards were enraged, and a bloody fight ensued.

All the male members of the Su family in Yangzhou were beheaded on the spot.

There are masters and slaves here. This is the first time that the Supervisory Guards have taken action against slaves since the operation began.

Su Mo was terrified when he heard this.

Su Shilin bowed and asked, "How is the Jinling Su family doing?"

Su Zhen said coldly: "Wait for the news. The Yangzhou Su family resisted and killed more than 300 soldiers. They will be punished most severely. The extermination of the family is inevitable. The most pitiful are the women of the Su family. Because of the madman in their family, they have been reduced to lowly prostitutes regardless of their age. They have no right to refuse guests. Their life is worse than death!"

The death of a member of the Supervisory Guard was a challenge to their authority. One can imagine what kind of nightmare these women will experience.

Su Zhen knew the result, but he also saw the heinous crimes committed by the Su family in Yangzhou. They occupied Yangzhou, controlled the commercial market and docks in Yangzhou, and hindered the operations of the Yangzhou Shipping Bureau. Since the founding of the country, taxes in Yangzhou have been difficult to collect and all of them went into the pockets of the Su family. Yangzhou is still the Yangzhou of the Su family, not the Yangzhou of the Great Qi.

The one who led the troops to investigate the serious crimes of the Su family in Yangzhou this time was the one with the Eagle Flag, and the Eagle Envoy was carrying the order from the Ninth Princess.

Not only did the Ninth Princess come into contact with the Snake Envoy, but now she has also become acquainted with the Eagle Envoy.

Chunmei stood to one side and added, "It was the Ninth Princess who issued the Phoenix Order to investigate the Jiangnan Su family. Princess, if you want to intercede, I'm afraid the Supervisory Guards will be embarrassed."

We can't let these people think that these things have anything to do with the princess.

The princess was absorbed in studying new crop cultivation techniques and improving papermaking and printing techniques, so she had no time to care about murder.

Chunmei curled her lips, "In the capital, Princess Changle and the Ninth Princess are the most popular candidates for the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. Princess Changle and her group in Yueyang have made extraordinary achievements; the Ninth Princess and her group in Jiangnan have vowed to eradicate the local evil forces in the south and Jiangnan, and restore peace to the people of these two places."

Chunmei described the Su family as a criminal gang, a local bully, and extremely evil.

She said this to let the Su family father and son know that if the princess asked, the Ninth Princess would give her some face, but as soon as the princess made a move, the Eagle Envoy would definitely guess that the real Phoenix Master was their own princess.

This would expose one's identity too easily.

The competition between the Ninth Princess and Princess Changle is fierce in the capital. If the princess is not careful, she will be drawn into the fight.

Su Zhen understood Chunmei's meaning. If he intervened in this matter, he would easily be exposed.

Chunmei said, "Princess, you should think twice. The power of the Ninth Princess and Princess Changle in the court is second only to that of the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince. They have also gathered a group of noble ladies and recommended several noble ladies to enter the government as exceptions. Once you open your mouth, you will owe the Ninth Princess a favor. At that time, the entire Baixian Manor will be dragged into the faction war..."

In a word: It’s not worth saving irrelevant people.

Once a woman goes crazy, she can be more cruel and ruthless than a man.

These two royal ladies have almost gone crazy in their quest to prove that they are the real Phoenix Lords.

Princess Changle joined the game and brought the entire Prince Gong's Mansion with her, determined to become a princess who was famous throughout the world and would go down in history as a "protector of the country, guardian of the country, and defender of the country" and to protect the Great Qi world.

Su Shilin clasped his fists and bowed, his eyes full of sorrow.

Su Mo released the former banished immortal and begged again and again.

Although he knew it would make things difficult for Su Zhen, he still had to beg, as these were human lives.

Su Zhen said: "I will plead with the emperor to punish the culprits and those who deserve the punishment. The innocent people of the Su family can be spared from death, but the Su family has become a big problem in Jiangnan. The Su family must leave Jiangnan, and the innocent people of the family will be exiled 3,000 miles away. I can't guarantee whether the emperor will agree, I can only plead for mercy from both sides..."

Chun Xiao said, "I will go and prepare the writing brush and ink."
