The movement of the Jinwu Guards performing their tasks was not small, all the streets were blocked, and the gates of the four sides of the city were also closed. The officials and officials who had a little sense of smell realized that something was wrong.Moreover, when the Jinwu Guards dealt with Xue's family, the Xue family's wailing sound was very clear in this quiet snowy night.

Anyway, the neighbors around Xue's house were all as quiet as quails, fearing that if Zhi Jinwu was disturbed, he would break into the door.But they are also quietly paying attention to the movements of the Jinwu Guard.

"Have they closed the team?"

"No, I don't think they left in the direction of returning to the office."

"They went east."

They looked at each other in blank dismay, they Chang'an City is rich in the east and rich in the west, while the north is solid and the south is empty.Is this still going to move the nobleman?

Qin family

The Qin family is also very lively. Mrs. Qin and the third sister-in-law Nie Yunniang finally know about the deaths of Qin Yue and Qin Ming. The news of Qin Yue's sacrifice for the country has been spread in the court, and it won't be long before they can hide it. And Qin Ming The funeral should also be arranged.

Hearing this news, Nie Yunniang directly moved her fetus, and then began to give birth.In fact, it was time for her to give birth.In this way, she was helped into the delivery room, followed by two midwives, the maids in the yard began to get busy, and the kitchen was always preparing hot water and hot food.

Everyone in the Qin family was awake, so they naturally knew about the movements of the Xue family.

Lu Songli knew that this was not the end, but the beginning.

Xie Jia

When Xie Zhan received the news, he was still reading in the study, and Zhao Yutan refilled his tea and water, washed his pen and ink with a smile on his face.Under the dim candlelight, there is a beautiful picture of talented scholars and beautiful ladies with red sleeves.

The two got married yesterday, just when they were like glue, Zhao Yutan was very clingy to Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan was in a good mood recently, and he didn't feel disgusted.

He was still thinking about which family of the Jinwu Guard would be next, when he heard footsteps approaching the door, followed by a panicked voice from his heart, "Young—Young Master, the Jinwu Guard is coming to us! "

When Xie Zhan heard this, he slightly pushed Zhao Yutan away and walked out, "I'll go and have a look!"

Zhao Yutan chased him out, only to find that he had already left.

Xie Zhan walked towards the main courtyard with his confidant, "Are you sure you are coming to our Xie family?"

"determine."

Xie Zhan was serious.

The fourth prince killed the prince together with those ministers who wanted to gain merit from the dragon, and the fourth prince was let off by the emperor.He didn't believe that the emperor didn't feel resentment towards some ministers of the original group of four princes.He didn't believe that disposing of Xue Huaimin would be enough to calm him down, and there must be other ministers who would bear his anger.

It stands to reason that their Xie family belonged to the fourth prince's sect, and their Xie family should not be the second Jin Wuwei to visit.

However, Xue's family is in the west city, and their Xie family is in the east city.Now the Jinwu Guards left those ministers alone, and came straight from the Xue family in the east to their Xie family in the west. It can be seen from this that their Xie family is very hated by the emperor.This had to make him suspect that something had gone wrong.

Unless he is exposed, impossible!

Xie Zhan immediately denied this speculation. When he offered advice to the fourth prince, he acted very carefully. He dared to say that as long as the fourth prince did not expose him, no one would guess that he would be the fourth prince's new think tank.It will definitely be exposed later, but now he is still very confident that he can hide it.

He originally intended to put the plan of killing with a knife on the fourth prince. He hid behind the scenes and let the emperor see the strategy of the fourth prince. But now that the emperor is like this, does the emperor not believe that the plan of killing with a knife came from the hands of the fourth prince?Then the suspicion came to them, the ministers who sought the power of the dragon?

In any case, they thanked the family for trouble.

The Jin Wuwei knocked on the door, and the gatekeeper of the Xie family opened the door tremblingly.

You can't do it unless you open the door, this is a group of killing gods.

Xie Zhan stepped forward with a smile, "Commander Lin, this is?"

Lin Ran said with a serious face, "The emperor has an order! By the way, you go and invite Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong together."

Xie Zhan's heart sank when he heard that, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were his uncle and grandfather, but they were both the elders of the Xie clan who combined fame and ability.Their existence plays an important role in gathering the power of the whole clan.

The members of the Xie family were quickly gathered in the main courtyard, and Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also invited. The former was already in his 60s, and his face was solemn at the moment.

"Everyone's here?"

"It's all here."

"Then let's get started!"

"The emperor's decree, Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, and Xie Yunsong kneel to accept it!"

Headed by Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, and Xie Yunsong, the rest of the Xie family all knelt down.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xie Mingtang, has been an official for twenty years.

The whole article is full of praise.

Hearing this, most of Xie's family breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not an imperial decree.Just now Jin Wuwei came out of Xue's house and went straight to their Xie's house, which really scared them to death.

However, the more Xie Zhan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. None of these praises for his father were in line with his father's conduct.

Do your duty?It can barely be counted, although his father did not take advantage of his position for profit.

Self-denial and return to courtesy?That's not true, his father has never been a restrained person in terms of selfish desires.

No phosphorous, no blackness, refers to not being worn thinly and not stained black, which is a metaphor for a person's quality of being faithful, noble and loyal to his feelings, which will not change due to external influences.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Zhan understood that these beautiful words are actually the opposite!On the surface, he praised his father, but in fact he scolded him, scolded him for having no moral integrity, poor self-discipline: being unfaithful to his wife, having two hearts towards the king: it is easier to understand recommending talents and avoiding virtuous ways, What they are talking about is that their Xie family is domineering and domineering, and they have held the position of Dali Temple Minister for so many years so that no one can interfere.

Thinking about this, Xie Zhan's heart sank more and more.

Looking at his father again, his face turns blue and white.

Xie Mingtang just felt that these good words sounded so harsh?Isn't this really mocking him?

Xie Zhan sighed in his heart, it seems that the emperor really has a bad impression of their Xie family.Fortunately, the emperor is about to die, and the new emperor is about to take over.

In the decree, the long words of praise to Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, Xie Yunsong and others were finally finished.

When Lin Ran saw the following words, he couldn't help but paused, and then continued to read: "You three, I am very pleased with it, and I especially want to declare my decree to Zhu Jinwu, and I will be buried with you with a gift. Now give the white silk three feet and Take a glass of poisoned wine, choose one to kill yourself, without delay! Thank you so much!"

Later, when the words of the emperor's order to be buried with him were read out, the Xie family could only feel their ears rumbling.

Xie Mingtang: Your soul flies away!

Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also shocked.

This is a funeral decree!Xie Zhan didn't expect the emperor to make such a move, it was really unexpected!

Sheng Huai'an was amazed at the edict after listening to the yin and yang decree word by word.After reading all the words of praise, he was sentenced to death. Doesn't it sound ironic?

In a word, the emperor thinks that you are a very good and useful official, and he wants to continue to use you when he is underground.

The emperor likes your Xie family very much, so he gave you a few places to be buried with Xie's family, the ones that can't be done without using them, and must be used up.Otherwise you refuse to give it a try?

He admired him very much in his heart, the person who wrote the edict to the emperor was also a talented person.

What he didn't know was that most of the first half of these decrees were written by Lu Desheng.The part of granting death was added by the emperor's imperial pen.

At that time, the emperor told Lu Desheng that he wanted to give favors to some people, including some from the Xie family and some who were not against him in the court.

When Lu Desheng heard it, he was full of reluctance. The Xie family hated it to death, and those political enemies also hated it to death.It's all right if the emperor wants to grant them grace, but he should do the trick?

He begged the emperor at that time and didn't want to do this job.The emperor refused to agree, so he had an idea, and there were so many words of praise that were both positive and derogatory.

What Lu Desheng didn't know was that after his work was completed, Emperor Kang Cheng often lay on the rocking chair and asked Wei Zili to read these edicts, laughing uncontrollably while listening.

"The emperor is about to go, and the civil servants and generals need to clear the way first! Are you unwilling?" Lin Ran asked coldly, seeing that the three of Xie's family hadn't moved.

Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes. They never expected that today would be their death day.

"I will obey your orders!"

The Jinwu Guards stared at them covetously, they couldn't help but resist, and the clansmen were all watching them.

The lives of the whole clan depended on their thoughts, since they were doomed to die, why not thank the emperor for his kindness and die generously, so that the emperor would have a little more affection for their Xie clan.It can also make the clansmen remember their kindness more, and offer more sacrifices during the New Year's festival.

The most important thing is that after thanking you, at least a whole body can be left behind.

All three of them chose the poisoned wine unanimously.

Before Xie Jingyuan drank, he said to Xie Zhan, "The Xie family will be handed over to you, uncle is gone." Then he drank it down.

Xie Yunsong also picked up the poisoned wine and motioned to him, then raised his head and drank it all without saying a word.

Xie Mingtang was very scared, but he also understood that he had no choice, "Ah Zhan, take care of your brothers."

The Jinwu Guard decided that once the three died, they left without stopping, and they had to rush to a family.

Xie Zhan was dealing with the funeral with a heavy heart.But he still kept people paying attention to Jin Wuwei's movements, and when he later found out which families Jin Wuwei went to, he was relieved.

Xie Zhan didn't expect that Emperor Kang Cheng would be so angry that after disposing of Xue Huaimin and others, he would kill so many people.In particular, the two or three families that they took refuge in later were all taken care of by Emperor Kang Cheng.

From this point of view, Xie Zhan guessed that Emperor Kang Cheng should be looking for him, that is, the person who lent the fourth prince a knife to kill someone.Obviously, Emperor Kang Cheng was sure who that person was.Therefore, the owners of these families whom he suspected, as well as those who were in charge of the family, were taken away.

Emperor Kang Cheng probably wanted to kill by mistake and would not let him go.

His father and two uncles were burdened by his decision.But he doesn't regret it, after the new emperor ascends the throne, their Xie family will go one step further, and even become the largest family in Da Li!

Xie Zhan didn't know that Emperor Kang Cheng wanted to uproot the Xie family, but considering that he killed a lot of people this time, the impact was already great.If you add other things, you will push people too far, and it may cause turmoil, so let it go.

Emperor Kang Cheng didn't expect that, because of his own mistake, he let go of the big fish he had been looking for.

In fact, it is also understandable. After all, the oil lamp has dried up. How can his body be able to bear such high-intensity mental activities?

"Leader, where are we going next?"

"The third place is Duke Cheng'en's Mansion!"

Sheng Huai'an hissed, Duke Cheng's Mansion, isn't that the Empress Dowager's natal home?Uncle Guo?He didn't see the decree, and he didn't know what kind of outrageous things this uncle of the country did to make their emperor want to take him away?
