Chapter 3: The Destruction of the Heran Family (1)
The exit of the secret passage of the Herlan family is in a dilapidated ancestral hall, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others because of its dilapidation! was also able to be ignored in Xu Yingcheng's all-round investigation, so that Yang Qing sent by Wei Qinian received them as soon as possible.
Helanqin didn't know whether she should trust this stupid-looking soldier anymore, even if she was saved by a soldier in the same costume just now, she really didn't know what she should do?
It's just that she is too tired, too tired, and she also feels that her body has reached the limit of what she can bear! If it weren't for the two children and her grandfather, her mother's instructions, she felt like she was about to collapse!
Yang Qing said that his master was Wei Qinian, Wei Ying's eldest son, and Wei Qinian had long known that the secret passage exit of Helan Mansion was told by Helan Che himself to his father Wei Ying.
Looking at this sincere adjutant, Helanqin could only believe his words. Because if you don't believe it, you can't do it, after all, you and your children really don't know where to go!
As soon as he left the ancestral hall, he met the deputy general sent by Wei Qinian, and asked them to hide in Old Man Han!
He Lanqin didn't know who the old man Han they were talking about, and she didn't know whether she should follow them, but on this dark and windy night in the moon, with two children, the only thing she could do was to follow them and act again!
Wei Qinian finally saw the adjutant who came to report back, and when he heard that Yang Qing had already taken people to Old Man Han's inn, his hanging heart was put down!
Until Xu Yingcheng walked out with a black face and said loudly, "Why did you people go earlier?" You haven't found out such an obvious secret passage? Send someone in and search! The city gate is strictly guarded, even if you go out a fly, you can find out the ins and outs of it! Martial law in the city! Arrest all those who wander around the city, and it is better to kill ten by mistake than to spare one! Anyone who rebels against the Helan family will be killed!
Xu Yingcheng changed his calm appearance of joy and anger in the past, and roared a little angrily!
His appearance made Han Qinian, who had been aggrieved for a day, feel a little more comfortable.
He knew that Xu Yingcheng would not give up easily this time! Because if he doesn't bring down the Helan family this time, his Xu Yingcheng's good days will come to an end!
Even if Helan Che didn't settle this account with him, none of their subordinates would spare him!
This is now, he is the emperor's imperial history, he is the Qincha, he holds the emperor's decree in his hand, as a courtier, he doesn't dare to do anything to him now!
Now that he has discovered the secret passage, he will definitely continue to pursue it, and the rescued people must wait until he leaves before they can be sent out of the city!
Similar to Wei Qinian's expectations, the old man Helan did not directly burn himself and his family to death, he just set the hospital on fire, but did not set fire to the Helan clan ancestral hall in the main courtyard, he led all the family members in the family to drink poison outside the ancestral hall, a large family, plus some house slaves, servants, the entire ancestral hall is full of corpses of the Helan family, and the old man and several family members, including the two princesses and the third lady, as well as the only son of Helan Xuande and the eldest daughter of Helan Xuanyu are also among them!
Xu Yingcheng didn't know the family members of the Helan family, but he brought the local bureaucrats to identify these deceased, which made Wei Qinian feel cold.
It's just that he can't show his coldness, he silently followed Xu Yingcheng and the bureaucrats to confirm the bodies of these deceased people over and over again.
In the end, the bureaucrat said that he could determine the identity of the old man Helan and the two princesses, but for the third lady of the Helan family, none of them had seen the deity, they only heard that they were weak and had been sick in bed for many years, and the two little princes and little county lords had never seen themselves, so they were not sure!
As for the other domestic slaves and subordinates who were martyred, they did not know anything!
Xu Yingcheng regretted a little that he didn't rush just now, and hunted and killed all the families in Helan Mansion, and he should have left a few alive in the first place for them to claim it.
Only now? can only be counted like this, as for whether this Helanqin is the real body, he can only find a way to determine!
However, he had also heard in the imperial city that Herlan Che's youngest daughter had been frail and sickly since she was a child, unlike his two elder sisters, one was the queen of the current emperor, and the other was the princess of King Zhennan! Two women admired by women all over the world!
If Helanqin hadn't been physically weak, she might have been the princess of a certain prince by now!
Since she is a half-dead person, presumably Old Man Heran will not let her go out and suffer her life!
Therefore, Xu Yingcheng was sure that there were indeed old men and two princesses in the courtyard, but he didn't care about the others.
Wei Qinian knew that Xu Yingcheng would not properly dispose of the body of the old man Helan, but because the accusations that the emperor had snare for the Helan family were too big, he didn't dare to directly propose to settle these deceased!
Fortunately, Xu Yingcheng was eager to deal with the Helan Che father and son who were still in custody, and when he saw that he wanted to let the dead die, and he had more important things to do, he handed over the matter of dealing with the aftermath of the Hou Mansion to Wei Qinian!
According to the rules of the imperial dynasty, the guilty minister cannot have an aftermath, but ...... It is impossible for Wei Qinian to let the old man Helan and the two princesses be hastily buried like his subordinates.
waited until he had properly arranged the old man and the two princesses, and then heard the news that Xu Yingcheng was escorting Helan Che and Helan Xuande to the imperial city!
Then he also received a secret report from his father Wei Ying, saying that Helan Xuanyu had been given death by the emperor in the imperial city, and his wife, Princess Huiren, committed suicide by drinking poison with her young son because of excessive grief!
Fortunately, the eldest princess Huiren did not leave her young son who was less than two years old, and as soon as she died, the emperor gave death to all the distant relatives of his subordinates who were involved in the Helan family on the grounds that the Helan clan not only communicated with foreign enemies, but also dared to defy the imperial power and refused to admit guilt!
Helanche's eldest daughter, the current queen Helanxue was also deposed by the emperor because of her father's and brother's crimes, and she committed suicide several times, and was rescued by the eunuchs, and now she has been escorted to the cold palace, and she has been sent to guard day and night in case of accidents!
Only Helanche's second daughter, Helanyu, the princess of Zhennan, has not heard any news until now, presumably the emperor is hindered by the face of Zhennan and does not dare to make a move, right?
Wei Ying told Wei Qinian that at this time, don't act rashly, everything is based on the overall situation! Especially now that they have rescued the only bloodline and flesh of the Helan family, if something happens, not only will the lives of Old Man Helan and Helan Xuanyu be lost, but also the Wei family will suffer a catastrophe!
Wei Qinian is well aware of his responsibility at the moment, only by saving the few people he rescued will he not let the blood of Old Man Helan be shed in vain!
It's just that before Xu Yingcheng left, he had ordered the defenders of Xihai City to patrol everywhere and strengthen patrols to prevent the remnants of the Helan clan from making trouble, so the inventory at the city gate was particularly strict, not to mention a girl and two children, and it was difficult for even flies to get out easily through the pass!
In addition, Xu Yingcheng secretly sent people to follow him and monitor his every move, so Wei Qinian has not seen the few people he rescued so far!
Of course, with Old Man Han taking care of them for him, he has nothing to worry about!
Because he knew that Old Man Han and his father were both close friends of Helan Che, as long as he knew that the few people he sent over were the bloodline of the Helan family, Old Man Han would definitely protect them! Wei Qinian is very relieved of this!
Now it's up to us to figure out how to get them out of town!
Because no matter what, those people can't stay in Xihai City!
