Chapter 8

"Correct!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Therefore, I am not only preparing to establish a medical school, but I also want to form a private army so that when the chaotic times arrive, I can make contributions and establish a career, and at the same time, allow our Su family to survive better in the chaotic times."

Su Lie frowned again: "Forming a private army is a major crime. Moreover, since we know the Taiping Dao is going to rebel, we can just report this news to the imperial court!"

"With the strength of the Great Han, the mere Taiping Dao probably won't be able to stir up any waves, right?"

Su Xuan looked at his old father speechlessly upon hearing this and asked in return: "Father, do you really think so?"

His old father is a bit naive, isn't he?

"What's the problem?"

Su Lie looked puzzled.

"Sigh!"

Huang Shi, who was on the side, sighed, rolled her eyes at her husband, and said unhappily: "When will you be able to change this naive habit of yours?"

"The Taiping Dao has been able to develop to over a million people in just a few years without being noticed or feared by the imperial court—is there really no problem here?"

"Is this really something that can be done by a mere bunch of mud-legged people?"

Clearly, Mother Su, Huang Shi, saw things much more clearly than Father Su.

"Hiss!"

Su Lie gasped upon hearing this, looking suspicious: "Could it be that there are court officials and noble families involved?"

"More than that!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "In my opinion, many noble families, powerful clans, and eunuchs are likely involved."

"Although their goals are different, for their own interests, they are all pushing or supporting the Taiping Dao to rise up behind the scenes so they can profit from it."

"Father, if you really report the news to the imperial court, the Son of Heaven might not necessarily receive the news."

"The most likely scenario is that it will be secretly suppressed by court officials or eunuchs."

"Afterward, our family will likely be the ones to suffer."

Being the first bird to stick its head out is not easy.

You ruin someone else's good thing and expect to end up well?

Naive!

"This... Hiss!!"

Su Lie was dumbfounded upon hearing this, feeling his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, his son and daughter-in-law were both clear-headed; otherwise...

Sure enough, there was a reason why he could only be a county magistrate.

"Then what should we do?"

Su Lie recovered and asked with a tightly locked brow.
