   Chapter 591 Hook Up (1)

  Li Jing couldn't move his right hand, picked up the first page with his left hand, and switched to the second page after reading it. When I saw the third page, I also took a deep breath, and my face was ugly.

  I never expected that someone in the Jiangnan old clan would hook up with the third prince.

   No wonder he encountered assassinations from time to time after he came to Jiangnan.

   No wonder the old people in Jiangnan were so daring, they came to besiege the Governor's Mansion with open flames and swords, and even General Luo was bought with a lot of money. In order to put him to death, Li Hao really spared no effort!

  Lu Mingyu's voice sounded in his ear: "When such a confession is sent to the father, do you think the father thinks this is evidence that you and I deliberately fabricated to frame Li Hao?"

  Li Jing was silent, and the hand holding the paper quietly exerted force.

   This is the most sinister and ingenious part of Li Hao's plan. Donggong and the third prince have old grudges. Li Hao was involved in the transcript submitted by Donggong. What would Emperor Yongjia think?

  Lu Mingyu reached out and stroked Li Jing's frown.

  Li Jing came back to his senses and smiled at Lu Mingyu: "What the father thinks is the father's business, since this matter is related to Li Hao, it is no trivial matter. This testimony will be presented to the court first."

  Lu Mingyu nodded: "I think so too."

   paused, and then whispered: "In this confession, I also explained the other three families. I will pass the order and have them blocked."

  The Jiangnan family has been severely damaged in the war, and there are still five families that still have some weight. They were Zhu, Wei, Shen, Wang, and Qian.

   The two men in black who were caught the night before were the heads of the Zhu family and the Wei family. The one who secretly had a connection with the third prince was the Qian family.

  Li Jing looked solemn and nodded slightly: "Okay, now I will issue an order to seal all the five families. Bring all the heads of the family into the Governor's Palace. All the old and weak women and children, also watch over them."

   This matter is too important to be trusted by others.

  Lu Mingyu thought about it for a while, and asked Li Yan to come over and instructed him.

  Li Yan heard the whole story, his face flushed with anger, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The third prince and His Highness are brothers, how could they murder His Highness like this!"

   Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said lightly: "There will be a moment to confront him in the future. You should lead people there now, remember to bring more people, and no one can escape."

  Li Yan suppressed the surging anger and surrendered.

  …

  Li Yan led a thousand people out of the house.

   These thousand are the prince concubine's personal soldiers, each with a long knife on his waist, murderous, and the first one arrives at Zhu's house.

   The head of the Zhu family is the Pentecostal man. The Zhu family was once a second-rate family in the Jiangnan aristocratic family. Almost all the top first-class families were removed. The Zhu family jumped up and became the head of the Jiangnan aristocratic family.

   However, the Zhu family is now in decline. There are only a few talented people in the family, and they are also low-ranking officials. No influence in the courtroom.

  Li Yan led a group of princes and concubines to seal the main entrance of Zhu's house. The women and children of Zhu's house were crying, and all the adult males were taken away.

  Wei's house is not too far from Zhu's house, about an hour away.

When    arrived at Wei's house, Li Yan also sealed the door. However, there was some resistance in the Wei family, and more than a hundred servants rushed out with weapons.

  Li Yan sneered and ordered unceremoniously: "Take them all. If there is resistance, shoot them!"

  The iron-blooded method is always the most effective. After more than a dozen servants bleed all over the ground, the remaining servants all turned pale and their legs went weak, and their weapons were thrown to the ground.

  After the Wei family was sealed, the remaining three families were a bit difficult to handle.

  The Shen family and the Wang family have a half-day journey, the Qian family is even further away, and the fast horse also takes most of the day.

  Li Yan had long planned to divide the people into two teams, one team went to Shen's house, and the other team went to Wang's house. Finally reunited and rushed to Qian's house overnight.

   This series of movements, of course, can't be concealed from those who have a heart.

   Before the prince concubine's personal soldiers arrived, the Shen Wang family got news. Where did the two families dare to stay, they packed up the soft bank notes, left the women and children at home, and only sent the adult men into the secret passage to escape.

When Li Yan led the troops to the Shen's house, the main entrance of the Shen's house was wide open, an old woman with white hair knelt at the door, and behind her were more than a dozen inner-house women with dull faces, and five or six girls of different ages. .

   If you want to kill or cut, please feel free, anyway, the men have all run away.

  Li Yan was so angry that he cursed when he saw such a situation.

  This man from the Shen family is too unreasonable. All the women, children and girls were left behind, and the men, big and small, ran away. What will happen to the women and girls in this yard if they encounter soldiers and bandits?

   "Li Shizi, what should we do next?" a personal soldier asked in a low voice.

   What else can I do?

  Li Yan had a handsome face and squeezed out a few words: "The Shen family is sealed, and none of the Shen family will move."

  The other team arrived at the Wang's house, and it was the same situation.

   No wonder other aristocratic families perished, only these families survived to this day. Emotions rely on "broken arms to survive". When the time of crisis came, he left behind the burden of women and children, and the man fled with gold and silver, changed his name and surname in another place, and then married a bride and gave birth to a man. Wouldn't the family be passed down like this?

  Bah!

   As for the Qian family, there is no need to think too much. It's been a day, and by the time it's over, I'll run away without a shadow.

  Li Yan rushed all night and went to Qian's house.

   ran all night and arrived at Qian's house. The front door of Qian's house was closed.

  Li Yan waved his hand, causing people to knock open the front door of Qian's house. The dead silence in the courtyard was shocking.

  Li Yan entered Qian's house with a frown and saw the woman's corpse hanging in a row under the porch. His stomach twitched violently, and he almost vomited on the spot.

   This Qian family head is the most ruthless, the man ran away without saying anything, and also hanged all the female relatives to death.

  …

   In the evening, Li Yan returned to his life with a face full of shame.

   "I wish the Wei family were closed, the men of the Shen Wang family ran away, and the remaining old and weak women and children were taken care of. The Qian family ran away, the women were all hanged, and there was no one alive."

   Everyone gasped when they heard this.

   Those who are qualified to be by the side of the prince and the prince are all officials of the East Palace. When Shen Shilang heard the scene described by Li Yan, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Mingyu: "Prince Concubine, the three families of King Shen and Qian have all run away, what should we do now?"

   "That's needless to say. Someone must be sent to hunt him down." Fang Zizhan immediately spoke up.

  Zhou Li and Fang Zizhan agreed: "It's only two days of work, and they can't run very far. Please pass the word of mouth to the county and county government offices."

  Li Jing and Lu Mingyu looked at each other.

   After a while, Lu Mingyu opened his mouth lightly: "Shen Shilang wrote all this on the memorial and sent it to the court. Li Yan, you will send the arrested person to Lu Yi, and have him tortured and interrogated."

   also instructed Fang Zizhan: "You write a prince's edict and send it to all the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River."

   The crowd responded in unison.
