Outside the gate of the Yang Mansion, hundreds of soldiers from Zhongdu Guantuli held swords and surrounded the entire Yang Mansion tightly, as if not a single fly would fly out.

Xiao Jie was riding on the tall horse with a playful expression, taking the time to quietly watch the tightly closed door.

I have planned for so long, and today is the time to close the net.

Many people were watching from afar, whispering, pointing and discussing, wondering what happened to the Yang family, to the point where the mansion was besieged by the army.

At this time, the gate of the Yang Mansion slowly opened to both sides, and Yang Mao in official uniform led a group of people out slowly.He looked solemnly at the hundreds of Zhongdu officials, apprentices and soldiers outside the door, and saw Xiao Jie on the horse with a playful expression, and felt nervous for no reason.

He knew in his heart that since Xiao Jie dared to openly bring people to besiege their Yang family's mansion, he must have grasped the evidence that their Yang family violated the prohibition to secretly brew wine, otherwise he would never dare to be so confident.

Now that their Yang family has been convicted of someone making wine without permission, he doesn't know how the matter will end in the end, because the crime of making wine without permission can be big or small. If it is light, the wine making equipment will be confiscated and fined for a few days, but If it is serious, it will be executed or even be executed.

What Yang Mao is worried about now is that Xiao Jie will take the opportunity to make a big fuss, use this as an excuse to persecute the Yang family's children wantonly, and even kill the entire Yang family, ransacking the family.

But until now, Yang Mao knew that it was useless to think too much, so he could only look at the condescending Xiao Jie, his expression darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness, what do you mean?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Private Yang, don't get me wrong, I just came here to arrest the perpetrators of the wine brewing case, and I didn't intend to offend the Yang family."

Yang Mao looked surprised: "Did His Royal Highness make a mistake? Our Yang family has always restrained our children, and all of our Yang family children are well-educated and reasonable. They will catch our Yang family."

Of course Xiao Jie would not act with Yang Mao, he still smiled and said: "We sent people to search for a lot of wine-making utensils and a lot of wine in the 'Luming Manor' outside your Yang family city. explain."

Although Xiao Jie did not cooperate, Yang Mao could only bite the bullet and continue acting. He turned around and glared fiercely at the Yang family disciples behind him, and said in a hateful voice: "Who are you so bold as to dare to openly set the law of Da Ning?" For example, I ignored it and violated the imperial ban to brew wine privately, ruining the century-old reputation of my Hongnong Yang family."

All the Yang family's children bowed their heads, only Yang Jian fell to his knees with a plop, crying loudly: "Patriarch calm down, it's my nephew who was confused for a while, damn it!"

"You... are so angry, old man!" Yang Mao pointed at Yang Jian with a livid face, with an indescribably distressed expression on his face.

Afterwards, Yang Mao turned around, his face turned into shame, and he said to Xiao Jie in a painful voice: "Your Highness must laugh at me, our Yang family is unfortunate, and we are really ashamed to have such a person who ignores righteousness and forgets profit."

While speaking, Yang Mao kept staring at the expression change on Xiao Jie's face, and felt even more nervous.

He asked his nephew Yang Jian to plead guilty voluntarily, just to test Xiao Jie's attitude.

It would be fine if Xiao Jie only took away Yang Jian, but if Xiao Jie wanted to take away himself as the head of the family, then the problem would be serious. Xiao Jie would very likely blame the entire Hongnong Yang family for the wine making On the head, take the opportunity to deal with the entire Yang family.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, bowed his hands to Yang Mao immediately, and said: "Thank you Taifu Yang for his deep understanding of righteousness, righteousness for killing relatives, so that I can give the court an explanation."

Yang Mao secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, listening to what Xiao Jie said inside and outside the meaning, as long as he took away Yang Jian alone, he would not implicate the other Yang family children, let alone cause trouble for himself, the head of the Yang family.

But even so, there was still a wry smile on Yang Mao's face, he let out a long sigh, and said in a very heavy tone: "Although Yang Jian insults the family style, he is still a child of my Yang family. I hope His Highness will take care of this old man. Don't be too embarrassing." He, let alone impose severe punishments."

Obviously Yang Jian violated the national law, but Yang Mao lightly dismissed it as an insult to his family, but he kept looking at Xiao Jie, hoping to see his true attitude through the change of Xiao Jie's expression.

How could Xiao Jie do what he wished, he just smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Madam Yang, as long as I make my nephew confess, I won't do anything to him."

Yang Jian couldn't help but tremble when he heard the words, almost collapsing to the ground.Because he clearly heard another meaning of Xiao Jie, if he didn't tell the truth, he might be rude to him.

Yang Mao looked at this useless nephew, feeling angry and hated in his heart, but he still had to "remind": "Do you understand what His Highness said, and you must explain what you have to explain."

Yang Jian almost collapsed, because he also understood another meaning of the Patriarch, that is, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the Yang family will not be able to spare him.

Having said so much, Xiao Jie stopped talking nonsense, and directly ordered someone to come forward to put Yang Jian in shackles, and escorted him into the prison car.

Yang Mao looked at the surrounding people, his complexion sank, the Yang family's face was completely lost this time.

Xiao Jie cupped his hands at Yang Mao immediately, and said with a smile: "Thank you again for your cooperation, Taifu Yang, and I will take my leave."

Yang Mao also managed to squeeze out a smile: "Your Highness, walk slowly, I will see you off soon."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, nodded, then turned his horse's head and led hundreds of Zhongdu officials, Tuli and soldiers to escort the prison cart and retreat.

Yang Mao looked at the figure of Xiao Jie leaving, and then looked at the onlookers who kept pointing at Yang Jian in the prison car from time to time. His mood became even worse, and he ordered people to prepare the car directly. He was going to visit some good ministers. , intending to ask them to write a letter to the emperor to intercede, so as to save the life of his nephew Yang Jian and the face of the Yang family.

After all, although it is true that Yang Mao violated the court's prohibition to make wine, there is no famine and food shortage in the world, which is far from the point of banning alcohol, so it shouldn't be a felony for the Yang family's children to brew wine privately.

Behind Yang Mao, Wei Tao also looked at Xiao Jie's receding figure from a distance through the gate, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

Xiao Jie has been planning for so long, it is absolutely impossible to just catch an insignificant Yang Jian and let it go. He must have other tricks.

But now, Wei Tao really couldn't think of what Xiao Jie's next move would be.

……

The next day, the front page news of the latest issue of "Sili Times" was that the Yang family was suspected of violating the imperial court's prohibition on brewing wine privately.

As the news spread everywhere, various gossips began to ferment, and all kinds of rumors and rumors came and went. Yesterday it was said that the entire Hongnong Yang clan participated in wine making, and today it was said that the emperor Longyan was furious and wanted to flood the entire Yang family. copy cut.

Just when everyone was discussing how the imperial court would deal with the Yang family, there was news that Shengtai Bank was also involved in wine making, and that the imperial court might raid Shengtai Bank, and some people panicked instantly.

They all knew that when the Shengtai Bank was established, the Yang family also paid a lot of money. It is said that it is second only to the Wei family and can be regarded as the second boss of the Shengtai Bank.

If Shengtai Bank was really sealed up by the court because of the Yang family's involvement, what would happen to the money they kept in the bank!
