Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 399: Killing the escort, the imperial decree is not obeyed
At dusk, Bao Weida urged them to hurry up and go to the town ahead to find a large mule and horse inn on the wild road to stay.
When I walked out of the city, I walked all the way to Shili Pavilion with all my strength.
After resting, when I walked again, my legs hurt so much that I could hardly move.
The shackles were heavy, the ropes rubbed my wrists so hard that they were extremely painful, and my legs were filled with lead, so I couldn't walk even if I died.
Madam Xie discussed with Bao Weida: "Officer, can we take a ride in the carriage that our relatives sent for us?"
As he said this, he handed over a silver note.
Bao Weida took the banknote, but whipped him with a whip and said, "What are you dreaming of? Riding in a carriage? Do you want to live in a palace? We have only walked a few steps, and you are already dawdling?"
Old Madam Xie took the beating from Bao Weida and gritted her teeth without saying anything. If you don't bow your head under someone's roof, you will bring disaster to your children and grandchildren.
Seeing his grandmother trying to hold back her anger, Xie Zhaozhao said to Yuanyuan, "Kill him!"
Li Yunmu was afraid of causing trouble for Xie Zhaozhao and the others, so he just threatened Bao Weida with a whip. But now, after hearing what Xie Zhaozhao said, what are you waiting for? Start killing!
Bao Weida is a military household and has good martial arts skills, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the escorts.
Only when Yuanyuan pulled out the soft sword did Bao Weida realize that she was carrying a weapon.
More than forty escorts gathered around to kill Yuanyuan.
Xie Anfeng wanted to reason with Bao Weida, but Bao Weida sneered, "Do you still think you are the Lord Xie who commands the support of all? Why are you speaking to me in an official tone?"
Li Yunmu said, "Uncle Xie, don't reason with such a villain. Although they have an assessment for a 3,000-mile journey, they are not punished if the mortality rate is less than 20%. For people like my grandmother, they wish they could die early so that they can travel faster."
Linglong is a martial maid and also joins the fight.
Seeing that Yuanyuan and Linglong were no match for the group attack, Xie Zhaozhao clapped his hands and shouted, "Lengren, Wuhen, Zhuanzhu, Yuge!"
They are the four death warriors given by Zhang Yanyan.
Four men suddenly jumped out, their swords and knives became a group of afterimages, and there were only a few clangs of weapons colliding. The necks of six escorts including Bao Weida and Li Er were broken and bleeding profusely.
Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "It's dealt with."
The four of them picked up one each without saying a word, and disappeared in a moment.
The other escorts were terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Please spare my life, Miss."
"Can we take the carriage now?"
"Yes, yes, please get on the carriage, old lady." The escorts turned into riding stools and asked Old Madam Xie and others to get on the carriage.
That night, they hurried and arrived at Yichuan Town, 50 miles away from the capital.
After finding the only inn in the town, Xie Zhaozhao directly asked the owner for the large bunk bed and all the upper rooms.
Madam Xie was very worried and said, "Zhao Zhao, I'm afraid they will report it to the local authorities!"
Xie Anfeng was also worried: "Zhao Zhao, killing six escorts is a serious crime. I'm afraid they won't let it go."
"Then I can't bear it!" Xie Zhaozhao said calmly to Xie Anfeng, "Grandmother, you can rest with your sister-in-law and aunt. I have something to say to my father and brother."
Old Madam Xie was nervous, but she was really tired, and Princess Changping was also tired.
All the women in the family didn't say much and fell asleep immediately.
Xie Anfeng, Xie Yu and Xie Zhaozhao talk.
Xie Zhaozhao still spoke slowly, but Xie Anfeng immediately felt his daughter's unprecedented strength.
"Father, brother, the Xie family has been driven to the brink of desperation by His Majesty," Xie Zhaozhao said, "We have no way out."
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu didn't say anything nonsense, they both thought it through.
"Father handed over all the Black Guards in exchange for a chance to be exiled to a prefecture. If it's just that the journey is difficult, we still have a 50% chance of survival, but I'm afraid His Majesty won't let us get to the place of exile safely.
He did not make his aunt's matter public for the sake of the royal family's reputation, but his fear of the aristocratic family had always existed, and he did not hesitate to get rid of it if possible.
The Xie family, the Zhang family and others are all major concerns for him.
Before his death, His Majesty will clear the way for the next king, and the Xie family is only the first one."
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu remained silent.
We are all old foxes and we all understand that the window paper has not been broken.
"He's going to kill us?"
"Yes! Today is only our first day out. Along the way, so-called bandits and robbers should appear frequently."
Xie Anfeng asked Xie Zhaozhao: "What did His Highness tell you?"
"He said nothing. He and Your Majesty are biological father and son. He can't kill his father, and he doesn't want to hurt me. He can refuse to be the crown prince, refuse to take over the world, and prevent Your Majesty from killing the Xie family, but the more he does this, the more Your Majesty will hate the Xie family. So the best way to protect the Xie family is to stay away from him and draw a clear line."
Xie Zhaozhao said, "The military power is in the hands of His Majesty, and His Majesty is actually on guard against Your Highness."
Xie Yu asked, "What are your plans, sister?"
"I don't want to be exiled according to the imperial decree! Grandmother can't bear it. We will change our route tomorrow and head east. My soldiers will leave the city two days in advance. They will take us to Yejian Port, where my big ship is docked."
"Sister has a big boat?" Xie Yu was shocked.
"Yes, the Maritime Silk Road that has been popular in Daqian and the ten surrounding countries in recent years is mine!"
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu were extremely surprised by Xie Zhaozhao's words. That famous Silk Road, that route where every shipload of cargo was more valuable than gold, was Xie Zhaozhao's?
Xie Zhaozhao no longer concealed anything and told her father and brother everything that happened before and after the opening of the sea route, picking out what they could accept. She had to use sufficient guarantees to convince her father and brother and lead the entire family to disobey the order!
“That’s right, the route was opened by me, Yin Jin’an, Li Yunmu, and Zhou Lingyin.
We made a lot of money, several times more than the national treasury. I was the only one who donated the food and fodder for the northwest expedition against Wei, and I also paid for millions of taels of silver.
In addition, except for one ship that was retired from the canal transport business and belonged to Zhou Lingyin, the rest belonged to me and Yin Jinan.
Not only did we make money, we also captured several cities in the wild land. Baiyue City is mine, and Yin Jinan's is Shi'an City.
Most of the thirty-six states in the north have been conquered by Gu Chongjin, Yin Jinan, and Xie Jue.
In the past two years, Daqian’s salt, iron, horses, and grain, which replaced the Wei family, were not supplied by local government, but also came from the salt mines and iron mines owned by Yin Jinan and me…”
As Xie Zhaozhao listed the items one by one, Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu's hair stood on end.
They never thought that Xie Zhaozhao would have such a trump card!
"The thirty-six states in the north are fierce and good at fighting. How did you conquer them?"
"Use supplies to win them over, or use clay pot mines to attack them. Once they are scared, they will surrender."
"Clay pot thunder?"
"Yes, the clay pot thunder is a weapon that Yin Jinan and I came up with."
"..."
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu were already numb. If Xie Zhaozhao had not been impeccably polite since childhood and had never lied, they would never have believed it.
"Zhao Zhao, have you been wanting to rebel for a long time?" Xie Anfeng asked sternly, "Do you have the same idea as your aunt?"
"No, I have never thought of rebellion. All I did was to protect the Xie family. Auntie didn't know that I opened the route, and even Zhou Shaoyu only knew one thing but not the other."
Xie Zhaozhao had no choice but to bring up the gentle mother whom he had never met. "Father and brother, do you still remember the dream I had? In the dream, mother told me that our Xie family would be wiped out and there would be graves everywhere...
In the dream, Crown Prince Zhou Jingrui ascended the throne, and because the letter was found at home, the entire Xie family was executed. So I made money to support your majesty in eliminating the Wei family in an open and aboveboard manner. Father, brother, all my ambition is just to protect the Xie family. "
Xie Zhaozhao told the truth, but she didn't say that she was reborn. She only said that it was a dream her mother gave her.
At the end of the speech, Xie Anfeng fell silent and Xie Yu's eyes were filled with tears.
"If it is useful, then it will be used and then it will be abandoned. This body is floating on an empty boat. Father, I agree with my sister's suggestion: we will resist this imperial decree! We will not go to Yazhou!"
