When the private soldiers of the Qian family heard Wang Mang's order, they hurriedly rushed up.

After they grabbed the people of the Jia family, they tied them up one by one, with smiles on their faces.

Even, Qian Zhongyang was also enthusiastic and hands-on.

He aimed at an elder of the Jia family, kicked twice, slapped a few times, and scolded: "Old guy, weren't you arrogant in my Qian family that day?" Didn't you say that after letting the people of my Qian family see the people of your Jia family, they will retreat and leave? How about now? Fight with Lao Tzu and seek his own death. ”

The Qian family and the Jia family have a lot of grievances, and now that they see the Jia family suffering losses and being arrested, they naturally applaud and want to torture the people of the Jia family.

In this regard, Wang Mang will not stop it, whatever the people of the Qian family do, as long as they don't get killed.

This clan elder was kicked, wow, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and roared angrily: "Qian Zhongyang, if you follow Wang Mang, there is only one way to die." Don't be complacent, my Jia family master will avenge me in the future. ”

"Revenge? Hehe, how to get revenge? Will you send troops to Qingzhou to arrest me, or will you kill me in Xiangyang? ”

Qian Zhongyang said lightly: "The official is not afraid to tell you, after beheading you, after Lord Wang leads the troops to the border, the official will naturally be a turtle with a retracted head and return to Xiangyang." When the time comes, who will be able to help me when this official is in charge of the army? Qingzhou? Hmph, this official can't be provoked, can't he still hide? ”

Wang Mang squinted his eyes and said: "Lord Qian, I don't dare to say anything else, as long as their Jia family has the ability and dares to send troops to attack Xiangyang, then the 100,000 troops I left in Liaoning will definitely go to Xiangyang to help and ensure that you are safe." ”

When the young man of the Jia family heard that he was going to be beheaded, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, wailing and crying like rain.

Wang Mang ignored it and said indifferently: "It seems that this official has never gone on a killing spree. This time, I'm going to do a killing spree.

This time, your Jia family is also lucky to meet me, because I will not destroy the roots of your Jia family, and I will not kill those women and children. If other people copy your Jia family and convict you of treason, I am afraid that the thousands of people in your Jia family will be beheaded. ”

Yu Lao did not participate in the arrest and tying up of the high-level officials of the Jia family, he silently led the people and horses and rushed into the Jia family's treasury, looted the silver taels, seized the family property, and wanted to collect wealth for Wang Mang.

The Jia family is the upstart of the imperial court in the end, and they have the support of the officials of the Lingzhou faction, so they naturally have a lot of money and food here.

For this money, Wang Mang did not think about handing it over to the state treasury.

There are benefits and not to be occupied, and that is not his character.

After Yu Lao's statistics, Wang Mang found that the Jia family's inventory of silver was as much as hundreds of thousands. As for rice grain, there are also hundreds of thousands of deniers.

Although Qian Zhongyang showed a look of envy, he didn't ask for money, he was very interested, he expected Wang Mang to be a dime a dime.

"Congratulations to Lord Wang, congratulations to Lord Wang, this time you have finally made a small profit."

"Hahaha, where, where. With such a small amount of money, it is only enough to feed the people of a city for three or four years. If I copy all the other great families in the future, then it will be really developed. Wang Mangmei said.

"Flutter..."

Qian Zhongyang didn't expect Wang Mang to be so shameless, and he even thought about confiscating the money of other families.

Ji Rou was tied up and followed by Wang Mang's side, she was now silent, without saying anything, and seemed to have been appointed. Don't resist, don't struggle, don't beg for mercy, I want to see how fate will arrange me.

At the same time, there was a hint of irritation in her heart.

It was not Wang Mang who was angry with her, but Ji Yun and the others, blaming them for not saving them when they saw death.

Although she also knew that Ji Yun and the others couldn't save her, she was still very unhappy when she saw Ji Yun and the others retreat decisively, and a thought of being abandoned came out.

People are always like this, knowing that it is impossible, but they are also full of expectations. When the loss comes, the heart is disheartened and hatred is born.

Wang Mang glanced at the remaining women and children of the Jia family, and said lightly: "This official is not the kind of person who has to put people to death, in your Jia family, I still left a small amount of money and did not confiscate all of it, leaving you some money to live by." So you don't have to worry about starvation.

Of course, although the ruler will not kill you, he will deprive you of your wealth. From now on, you can only rely on yourself, farming what you should farm, and making a living when you should make a living. If you are not used to living a hard life for a while, and you want to kill yourself, then I have no opinion.

Also, you can also go to Zhuzhou to defect. But I advise you not to go. Because of the Jia family in Zhuzhou, I will still be destroyed in the future. When the time comes, the sword will have no eyes, and it will be a pity to die. ”

After saying this, he didn't bother to stay here for a long time, so he asked the guards to pull hundreds of high-ranking officials of the Jia family and run towards the general's mansion.

The Xiying forbidden army who came to help saw that the matter was over, and they did not return to the barracks, but ran in the direction of the Qian family to be stationed at the Qian family. I am afraid that if I stay in the barracks, I will be retaliated against by others.

Hundreds of clan elders, high-level officials, descendants, collateral relatives and other people involved in the case of the Jia family were pulled on the road with their hands tied by the Qian family, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Now that the sky has opened, many people have also known the situation, and rushed to the gate of the Jia family's mansion to watch the situation as soon as possible.

When they saw that these old men and young masters who were usually high in the sky had become prisoners, their hearts were extremely happy. They all scolded, smashed, and spit on.

These people may have hatred for the rich and officials, or they have suffered from the Jia family, or they are simply idle and want to make the Jia family angry. Therefore, they were very unanimous and did their best to humiliate the arrested people of the Jia family.

As for the spies sent by the big families, when they saw this situation, their hearts were unnatural.

Because of this situation, it is difficult for them to predict that they will not bear it in the future.

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, and no one can give absolute guarantees for the future.

Therefore, they just watched silently, and did not fall into the well and scold, and the sadness of the rabbit and the fox rose in their hearts.

Wang Mang intended to torture this group of people from the Jia family, so he deliberately asked the Qian family to walk on a long road, and let them parade the captured Jia family personnel into the street.

He wants to publicize it, no matter how high the other party's official position is or how powerful his power is, as long as they don't follow the king's law and oppress the people, I can arrest them. Give confidence to the people, and deter some other officials with bad intentions.

Ji Rou's face was a little unnatural, and she didn't dare to let her embarrassed appearance be seen by the people, her eyes dodged, and she leaned into the middle of the crowd, wanting to save a point or two.

Wang Mang thought about it for a moment and untied the ropes that bound her hands, but he didn't untie her shackles, and only said lightly: "You'd better not think about running away, otherwise, you should be able to predict the consequences." ”

Ji Rou hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I don't dare to run, I will be honest." ”

"That's good, you earn face by yourself, not by others. Now I've given you a chance to save face, and I hope you take advantage of it. ”
