Chapter 726: a smart move

Lin Ze's hesitation slowly started to leave him, the more he listened to Su Wan, the more he thought that what she was saying was correct. He could of course understand that she was digging a hole for him but the more he thought about it, the treasures at the bottom of the hole were too shiny for him to ignore.

He was no one pawn why should he allow anyone to use him as they pleased and even take the most risk by dragging himself through a river of magma?

After carefully thinking, he turned to look at Su Wan and asked, " Is it possible for me to go against that person? I mean they are quite powerful, how can I go against them on my own?"

Actually, he too wanted to do something like this after finding out that someone strong from the capital was behind this but he threw the thought out of his head when he thought about how he would be thrown into prison and punished if he was caught by them.

He did not want to go to the Yamen again.

Su Wan nodded before she said in a determined voice, " You can definitely do it, you just need to know how and when to move."

" What's more you are not the only one who has been used as a pawn by that person, my maternal family members were used by them as well. If you think you can't do it alone then you can always go to them and have them join hands with you. In fact, I will suggest that you use them as well because that way you will be able to share the risks with them."

" After you get them to help you then you need to catch the man who is giving you directions, and have him tied and locked in your warehouse where no one can see him."

" That man will surely receive some sort of letter in the future or he might already have some letters with instructions from that person in the capital by someone, catch that person as well. You will be able to get something from them and as long as you catch hold of some concrete evidence from that man, you can go to the capital and search for that person. Threaten them just like you are being threatened, if they don't agree to your requests, tell them that you will go to the imperial censor who keeps an eye on what goes around everyone except the emperor."

" If the reputation of that person takes a plunge then the censor will make the Emperor aware."

" But I don't think that you will have to go that far because the person who is behind this is a concubine, she would not want the Emperor to find out about her schemes which is why she will try to suppress it by giving you everything that you ask from her. So as long as you keep hold of the evidence that can be used against her and leave a way out for yourself, you will be a threat to her."

The concubine was indeed standing at the top but the higher she was standing the more careful she has to be to make sure that she wouldn't fall from the great height she was standing at.

That concubine should be rather close to the Emperor for her to be this fearless but the closer she was to the Emperor the more she will be under the eyes of the other concubines if she was to make a mistake or she gets caught in some sort of trouble then surely the other Concubines will use it to their advantage.

Lin Ze's eyes widened as he looked at Su Wan and blinked his eyes before asking, "How can you be sure that something like this will work?"

Su Wan raised her brows and then softly said, " Ex uncle let me tell you something, I am someone who brought my husbands from poverty to one of the richest merchants in the town, do you think that I will not be able to plan against that person?"

She was using her bragging skills here, when she was in her modern world, she would often use these skills to attract customers by making use of her past achievements. Thus, she made use of the same skills in front of Lin Ze to sell her plan to him.

Lin Ze thought about it for a second and he had to admit that what Su Wan was saying was correct. His nephews were indeed hardworking but no one can ignore the fact that she was the one who came up with all the different and unique ideas, if not for her, his nephews would not have made it so far.

And her plan wasn't wrong either, if the person behind was a concubine he would be able to take care of her, after all, what can a woman do if they want to trap her?

It was normal for that Concubine to suppress such matters and this girl was indeed smarter than others, what if her plan really works?

Su Wan noticed that she has convinced Lin Ze and continued speaking, " Besides Rui went to the capital and he knows that the concubines in the palace have to watch every step that they take, I am sure that the woman wouldn't want to be caught by the Emperor, isn't that right Rui?"

Lin Rui was surprised that Su Wan was using such a tactic to take both Lin and Su's family down like this but he has to admit that this plan that his wife has come up with was one of the best plans.

In fact, he was ashamed that he did not come up with such a plan. This way they will be able to get these troublemakers busy for a while and while these troublemakers were busy they will be able to get a move on with the plan of establishing the fief that was given to them by the Emperor.
