My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 234 - I Did It
Chapter 234: I Did It
As soon as Su Wen finished speaking, every woman felt a chill run through their hearts.
Obviously, Su Wen was not joking.
Finally, a concubine mustered her courage and stood out.
“Su Wen, I want to leave the residence…” she whispered.
Su Wen focused his gaze and saw that it was none other than Su Changqing’s latest concubine, Dong Xue.
She was only 21 or 22 years old, at the prime of her life.
If one were to tell her to be a widow for the rest of her life, it would be too cruel.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Aunt Xue, why are you so nervous? I’ve already said that I’ll allow you to leave the residence. Don’t worry, I’ll give Aunt Xue 10,000 taels of silver later. It’s enough for you to live after leaving the residence. However, you should still stay in the residence for the next two days. I’ll arrange for someone to find a small residence for you in the city first. You have to have a place to stay, right?”
Su Wen’s arrangements could be considered as being extremely benevolent.
When he said that, another two young concubines had thoughts and stood up. Su Wen naturally did not stop them and arranged them according to this standard.
On the other hand, the older wives had interacted with Su Changqing for many years and had deep feelings for him. None of them had any intention of leaving the residence.
After everyone dispersed, Su Wen came to his mother’s side and said in a low voice, “Mother, I think Father will be gratified by my arrangements. He will definitely be smiling in the netherworld…”
Su Wen’s mother nodded. “Your father is very good to the people around him. He must also hope that they can find a good home.”
Su Wen said sadly, “I know… Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done this today… I think Father will be happy to see them live according to his wishes in the afterlife.”
At this moment, thousands of miles away.
Su Changqing suddenly trembled.
Beside her, a beautiful woman raised a wine cup to toast Su Changqing and said with a smile, “Young Master Su, are you fighting the chills? Aren’t you too weak?”
Su Changqing snorted. “Don’t you know for yourself whether I’m weak or not? That’s not what you said last night.”
“Hahaha… I’m just teasing Young Master Su. Of course I know how good Young Master Su is…”
Su Changqing wasn’t really angry and roared with laughter. “Hahaha, let’s drink! Senior Gongsun, don’t stand on ceremony. This junior will be responsible for all the expenses. Just play as you please!”
Gongsun Shi was also full of smiles.
This kid was interesting!
Extremely interesting.
Beside him sat two well-endowed women as well…
Su Changqing drank the wine in one gulp.
A trace of nostalgia flashed across his heart. “In the end, I still prefer the plum wine which has been scalded in the winter snow.”
However, he immediately smiled. “But this wine is not bad either! Furthermore, with beauties accompanying me, how enjoyable is that!”
Laughter filled the room…
In the capital of Great Zhou, Emperor Zhou sat on his throne.
Needless to say, after this fellow was forcefully turned, he now displayed the aloof characteristic of a proud ‘onee-sama’.
The officials were even more enthusiastic now.
Wu Qiuhan stood out and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, that Su Changqing has betrayed the country. His son, Su Wen, is currently imprisoned in the Sky Prison. Your Majesty, please issue a decree to bring him out to be executed by a thousand cuts.”
“Huh?” Emperor Zhou suddenly recalled that in the eyes of the public, Su Wen was still locked up in the dungeon.
“Hehe! This child has already escaped during the chaos in the city!” Emperor Zhou said calmly.
Wu Qiuhan frowned and said, “That’s not right, Your Majesty. The prison isn’t affected by the chaos in the city. Furthermore, Su Changqing didn’t bring anyone from the Prison. How could he have escaped?”
Emperor Zhou cursed in his heart, ‘Idiot! Are you f*cking retarded? Do you think that if Su Wen was in prison, would keep him there? If I can cut him 3,000 times, I definitely won’t stop at 2,999. Can’t you understand my thoughts like Su Changqing?”
However, no matter how much he looked down on Wu Qiuhan in his heart, he could not show it on his face.
However, he couldn’t help but miss Su Changqing at this moment.
Emperor Zhou said indifferently, “That Su Changqing’s methods are strange. I don’t know how he was saved!”
“Looks like we should strengthen the defense of the prison!” Wu Qiuhan sighed.
“Hehe…” Emperor Zhou didn’t respond.
The court session continued in Great Zhou. Meanwhile, Su Wen returned to Great Zhou at this time.
Since he had nothing to do, Su Wen decided to find more fun for Emperor Zhou.
How did that phrase go? It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but a petty person would take revenge all day.
Obviously, Su Wen never planned to be a gentleman.
He changed his appearance and strolled through the streets of Great Zhou.
Just as he was thinking about who he should target, he unknowingly walked to the fried vermicelli stall.
What made Su Wen happy was that the boss was still alive.
She was still selling vermicelli as usual there.
Su Wen sat over and said, “Give me a bowl of vermicelli.”
“Alright!” The lady boss agreed with a smile.
A simple smile appeared on her face.
Soon, the fried vermicelli was served. Su Wen realized that her business seemed to be very cold today.
But it was obvious that with so many people dying at once, everyone’s businesses would definitely be affected.
The boss brought the vermicelli over.
“Thank you!” Su Wen replied politely.
The boss smiled and said, “Young Master’s voice is so familiar. In the past, there was also a young master who came to eat vermicelli with his guards at home every time. This Young Master’s voice is similar to his.”
Su Wen was stunned. He did not expect that this lady boss would remember his voice even though he did not interact much with her.
With that, the boss put down the vermicelli and left.
Su Wen lowered his head and quietly finished his noodles. He left behind a silver ingot and stood up to leave.
For him, he might never come to eat again.
The people of the past were no longer around, so the same warmth he got from eating the vermicelli there was also gone.
In the past, this was home.
Right now, this was where his enemies were.
What could he do to anger Emperor Zhou?
Su Wen thought for a moment and decided to look for the Third Prince.
He had long wanted to beat this bastard up.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, Su Wen helplessly discovered that this fellow had a Heaven Rank expert protecting him.
Obviously, Emperor Zhou, who had suffered losses before, did not dare to be careless this time.
His sons all had a Heaven Rank expert placed with them to prevent further assassinations.
“What a pity!”
Su Wen sighed to himself before turning around and leaving.
After pondering for a while, Su Wen went to the Spiritual Master Residences.
This time, Su Wen did not walk through the door and directly found a secluded place to climb in.
When he arrived at Mo Xin’s residence…
Bang bang bang bang! Su Wen knocked on the door.
“Who is it!” The old man was very angry at being disturbed.
“It’s me!”
Su Wen spoke.
Upon hearing this, the old man stopped talking. Not long after, the door opened.
Mo Xin looked conflicted.
“Did you disguise yourself?”
He naturally heard what happened to Su Wen and his family.
“Yes, I came to visit an old friend.” Su Wen smiled.
Mo Xin shook his head helplessly. “What exactly do you want? Your father has done such a heinous crime, and you’re now the target of everyone in the Great Zhou.”
Su Wen said helplessly, “Then what can I do? He’s my father. I came to look for you to ask if you’re interested in coming with me?”
Since he had nothing to do, he might as well poach someone.
Su Wen naturally would not slaughter those commoners to create trouble for Emperor Zhou.
However, if he were to poach a talent like Mo Xin, Emperor Zhou would probably feel heartache.
Mo Xin shook his head. “I’m not leaving. Kill me.”
The old man was very open-minded towards death.
Su Wen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Is there a need for this? If you don’t want to leave, then so be it. Just treat it as me coming to talk to you about the past. How are the missiles doing?”
At the mention of missiles, Mo Xin became excited.
“There’s progress, there’s progress. Look, this is my new design. As long as it passes…”
After a series of professional terms, Mo Xin pointed at a missile that was more than four meters long and said, “It can already hit accurately from two miles away.”
Su Wen: “…”
He couldn’t help but blurt out, “Two miles? Have you ever thought that if you utilize a 9th Grade Earth Rank, you might be able to throw this thing… with your bare hands from over two miles away?”
“What do you know!” Mo Xin was unconvinced. “Even if he can throw two miles, he can only throw two miles forever. I can only shoot two miles now, but as long as I continue to perfect it, I might be able to shoot twenty or even two hundred miles in the future!”
Fine, now he was despised by a native who knew nothing about projectiles!
Suddenly, Su Wen stopped Mo Xin.
He smiled and said, “Alright, I don’t need the person anymore. I’ll take the things with me instead.”
Mo Xin: “????”
He wanted to struggle angrily, but it was useless. He wanted to shout but discovered that he could not make a sound.
He could only watch as Su Wen plundered everything in the laboratory.
Although it could be remade as long as he was still around, it was too sad to watch it happen.
After Su Wen finished plundering, he walked to Mo Xin’s side and said in a low voice, “I think you’re wrong about one thing. A 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator might only be able to throw the missile from two miles away, but once he breaks through to the Heaven Rank, he won’t even need to throw such toys.
He himself is a humanoid missile launcher, and he has super high mobility and unlimited ammunition. His destructive power is much greater than any missile you can come out with.”
“By the way, remember to tell His Majesty that it was I who killed the Crown Prince. I was the one who drugged him as well. In addition, I gotta say, the Empress tastes wonderful.”
Su Wen laughed before running away.
He did not care if he was exposed or not. So what if the Zhou Emperor knew that he was the one who did it?
I just want to make things difficult for you!
I’ll disgust you to death!
When Mo Xin regained his mobility, he wanted to cry.
This matter quickly spread to the palace and Emperor Zhou.
Everything else was fine, but when he heard that Su Wen was the one who drugged him, Emperor Zhou went berserk!
He had finally found the culprit!
He roared angrily in the palace, “Bastard! This little bastard! What did I do to him? How dare he play such a dirty trick on me?”
The old eunuch didn’t dare to continue speaking.
Ever since he was plotted against, Emperor Zhou’s personality had become even more temperamental!
At this moment, Emperor Zhou finally understood!
No wonder there were always people who were able to cause trouble in Great Zhou!
No wonder the Crown Prince was burned to death!
Everything was because of Su Wen!
Emperor Zhou muttered, “He killed the Crown Prince… he was the one who drugged me… the Empress…”
Emperor Zhou clenched his fists!
“This little bastard is lying to me. He must be lying to me! I can’t fall into his trap! I can’t fall into his trap!” Emperor Zhou kept reminding himself to stay calm.
However, the anger in his heart was indescribable at this moment.
At this moment, Emperor Zhou was filled with regret. He regretted choosing this guy to betroth a marriage to. He regretted not letting him and Xue Meng be sent to the border at that time!
He regretted trying to nurture Su Wen into a Heaven Rank expert!
Bang!
Emperor Zhou kicked the table over.
At this moment, the old eunuch said, “Seventh Princess’s mother is still in the palace.”
“Hmph!” Emperor Zhou snorted and glanced at him.
He said in a cold voice, “Do you think that killing my concubines will be of any use other than letting others feel my incompetence? Would that brat be crazy enough to come directly to the palace to suicide? If I infuriate him, he will slaughter commoners all over the city. Does he even still care about my country?”
Emperor Zhou said coldly, “This brat is telling me all this to provoke me. I can’t fall for his tricks. The angrier I am, the happier this brat will be. Because he can’t do anything to me!”
He became more and more calm.
But sometimes, once suspicion rose from the bottom of one’s heart, it would be unbearable.
“The Empress… it can’t be true… but after all, that little prince did serve the Empress for a period of time. That brat’s methods towards women…” Emperor Zhou began to suspect something.
However, he did not want to say anything on the surface.
Because he knew that if he asked the Empress about this matter, regardless of whether it was true or false, as long as he pursued it, he would lose even more face.
Hence, he could only insist that Su Wen was framing the Empress!
He said coldly, “I finally understand. This Su Wen must have a spatial-type spirit artifact that can allow him to travel back and forth between Chu and Great Zhou. Get the Spiritual Master Residence to think of a way for me to research it. At the very least, they must have a method to monitor and deal with it!”
Emperor Zhou sent down the royal decree.
At this moment, Su Wen had already returned to Great Chu. To him, so long as he didn’t kill everyone when he went to the capital of Zhou, it would be very difficult for him to stir up any trouble.
However, he was very happy to be able to give Emperor Zhou trouble!
[Ding-dong. Congratulations on Host triggering an intense anger in Zhao Fu. +200 Emotional Value]
[Ding-dong. Congratulations on Host triggering an intense anger in Zhao Fu. +200 Emotional Value]
Zhao Fu was Emperor Zhou’s real name.
He saw the two system notifications on his interface suddenly, and beamed with joy.
This level of anger and killing intent was enough for a normal person to have a brain hemorrhage.
This showed how angry Emperor Zhou was.
After returning to Great Chu, Su Wen still had an even more important question to consider.
That was how to earn money!
Compared to Zhou Country, Great Chu was poor. Although his title as a King sounded nice, and his salary was not bad in the eyes of ordinary people…
However, in the eyes of Young Master Su, who was used to being extravagant, 3,000 taels of silver a month seemed like a joke.
Moreover, he had to provide for the widows left behind by his father… as well as the expenses of his own residence.
He might even get himself more wives in the future.
It was also fortunate that he had moved a lot of gold and silver from his family’s secret treasury. Otherwise, Young Master Su would have really tightened his belt and lived his life frugally.
But he could not possibly sit back and do nothing.
He had his father’s trade route in the past, but it was gone now.
He had to think of a way to open up the trade route to reconnect the source.
To Su Wen, earning money was not difficult.
His foresight far surpassed this era!
However, he needed a stable way to earn money. Furthermore, he needed to earn money steadily. He also could not worry too much about earning money.
Soon, Great Chu’s first ever lotto shop appeared!
It was very cheap. Two copper coins for a lotto ticket!
However, Su Wen knew that the speed at which this thing could be sold was extremely impressive.
Furthermore, Su Wen immediately issued an order through the law using his influence.
All other lottery tickets were to be restricted. Capture and behead them!
Su Wen specially created a high platform to draw and present the prizes. Each time, there would be experts present to maintain the scene.
He got the Great Chu Spiritual Master Residence to build a lottery ball machine as well.
That was it.
As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Two copper coins. Once you won the prize, one could get at most 500 taels of silver in return.
To the commoners who had never seen the world, this was an unparalleled attraction.
Su Wen’s lottery ticket used the special ink that Ni Hongxiao gave him to prevent forgery. Furthermore, he learned from the later generations and added many hidden details.
The citizens of Great Chu were all excited.
Who didn’t want to try? Who didn’t want to get rich overnight?
Some people even bought 100 tickets a day!
However, Su Wen soon came up with a new rule. No one could bet more than 10 tickets a day.
He did not want some people who lost control to go bankrupt just to buy lottery tickets.
Of course, perhaps there would still be people who used all sorts of methods to buy it. Su Wen had no choice. To put it bluntly, even if one didn’t buy the lottery ticket, he could still gamble.
On the streets of Great Chu, countless people were discussing the lottery.
“Have you bought it?”
“I did! It’s a pity that I could only buy 10 tickets!”
“Hehe, I even got my wife to buy 10 tickets as well.”
“I won the lower tier prize yesterday… What a pity. I was just short of a number.”
“Just blame it on your bad luck. Just a few days ago, the butcher Old Wang bought a bet and won 500 taels in one go! In these two days, he took in two concubines!”
The entire capital was buzzing with this new trend.
Meanwhile, Su Wen and Xiang Feiyan sat in a restaurant.
On the second floor of the restaurant, there were only the two of them.
Xiang Feiyan smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that this lottery ticket Brother Wen mentioned would really be a huge success. You’ve earned quite a bit these days, right?”
Su Wen smiled. “It’s just so-so.”
To be honest, compared to the other times when he had spent thousands of gold, this thing paled in comparison. However, at the very least, it was an extremely stable source of money.
It was enough to support his daily expenses.
Su Wen said to Xiang Feiyan, “We have to keep a close eye on this thing. We can’t let anyone do it. Once they make a move, there will be too many tricks involved. The commoners can only be deceived!”
Xiang Feiyan nodded, “Got it. I’ve already sent the command down to various places. If there are any similar actions, they will be severely punished!”
After saying that, she looked at Su Wen and said, “I’ve also already prepared the newspaper that you mentioned. It should be released in a few days.”
Su Wen nodded and said, “This newspaper can use the news of the lottery numbers to spread throughout the capital. You have to know that with the newspaper, we can control the public opinion in the capital. Most people are still very innocent when it comes to being influenced.”
Su Wen was very certain about this. Even back in his world where the technology era was extremely advanced, many people would still be fooled by the media.
There were not many people who had their own opinions.
Furthermore, Su Wen had another plan for this newspaper, which was to collect Emotional Value.
He planned to serialize the article in the newspaper and write some stories within…
He would let the citizens of Great Chu suffer the evil of society!
Xiang Feiyan smiled and praised, “I really wonder how my Little Brother Wen has such a brain. Why does he have so many wonderful ideas?”
While they were talking, Yan Luoying came up from the stairs of the restaurant.
They had specially arranged for both parties to meet today.
Yan Luoying came up and smiled when she saw Xiang Feiyan and Su Wen. She walked to Xiang Feiyan’s side and cupped her hands. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Xiang Feiyan smiled. “This must be Sister Luoying! Her looks are indeed outstanding.”
Yan Luoying replied, “Compared to the few of us at home, Luoying is very ordinary.”
Xiang Feiyan looked at Su Wen and said sourly, “Brother Wen is so lucky.”
“Hahaha!” Su Wen could only laugh dryly.
Today, he was out to test the waters.
After a while, Wu Lie, Yan Ze, Su Cheng, and Su Yu arrived one by one.
After everyone sat down, Su Wen introduced them one by one.
He then said to Xiang Feiyan, “These are all people I’m close to. However, there’s definitely no problem with their abilities. When the time comes, Your Majesty can examine them one by one. If their abilities are lacking, there’s no need to hire them.”
To be honest, what Wu Kunhu said was not wrong…
No matter what, none of these people were mediocre.
Even with Su Cheng’s current cultivation, there was no problem for him to assume a military position.
Xiang Feiyan smiled and said, “Brother Wen, what are you talking about? I’ve seen all my beloved ministers today, and I’m relieved. When I return, I’ll designate a position for all of you.. Tomorrow morning, everyone can follow Brother Wen to the court!”
