As early as this morning, after getting the warrant from Hua Qianfeng, Lu Zhen sent Lin Lie and Qinggele to take people to Xie's house to search for relevant evidence.

Of course, it is clear that they are asked to search, but it is difficult to say what kind of thoughts they have inside. Qinggel is a brocade guard, if it comes to finding hidden places, looking for prohibited items, and even planting blame, he is a good hand, and he can do many things, so he doesn't have to worry about being seen any flaws in many things afterwards.

Now that he has decided to convict the Xie family, Lu Zhen always has to come up with the most suitable reason for them to make such a bold move, colluding with the White Lotus Sect, is an idea he gave.

Since its establishment in the Tang Dynasty, this White Lotus Sect has always been a stinger in the eyes of the ruling court, whether it is the Song or Yuan Dynasty, or the current Ming Dynasty, they will do everything to fight them. However, this force that relies on cult theories to bewitch fools and fools in the village and wilderness is always burned by wildfire, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, covering the sky over the country like a cloud.

The Ming Dynasty took the White Lotus Sect very seriously, as long as it had a little to do with it, it would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. Therefore, as long as Lu Zhen can let people find clues related to the White Lotus Sect in the Xie family, it doesn't take much, as long as there are a few volumes of scriptures, it is enough to completely overthrow the Xie family, and the previous testimony is enough for everyone to accept.

When he went, he had a few volumes of scripture in his arms.

After arriving at the Xie family and revealing their identities and intentions, although the people of the Xie family wanted to oppose and obstruct, they no longer dared to stand in the way under the scare of the officers and soldiers with knives and guns, so they could only let hundreds of people enter the gate, and then rummage around the yard.

For a while, chickens and dogs jumped in the entire Xie family's mansion, and the cries of women and children were even louder. For these people who don't know the outside situation, this kind of behavior of the government sending people to suddenly rush in is no different from raiding the house, which makes them even more sad because they know that their master was taken away by the government.

Although housekeepers like Xie Yi continue to reassure people's hearts, the effect is not significant. Especially after seeing the wolf-like servants directly break into their houses and turn their dwellings into a mess, while the guards at home don't even dare to say a word, everyone is even more desperate.

The first few courtyards were quickly turned into pieces, and some people even entered the inner house in the back. And everyone in the Xie family can only be patient with this, seeing this scene, Lin Lie didn't see the slightest color, but frowned. Because of the previous rummaging, they didn't even find any forbidden things, and I don't know if they were already alert, after seeing Qinggel and they went to the back house, Xie Yi and several other housekeepers also followed.

The excuses they came up with when they went with them were not only to guide people, but they were afraid that they would lose valuable things at home, but in fact, Lin Lie knew that they were also on guard against the government's planting. And with these people watching, it will not be so easy even for Qingler to do tricks.

Soon, Qinggele and they had found the courtyard where Xie Bingxiao and his wife were, where in addition to their bedroom, there was also a study and a Buddhist hall. Seeing the Buddha Hall, Qinggrad's heart moved, and he quickly rushed in, as long as he mixed the things in his arms with those Buddhist scriptures or something, then the other party would be difficult to distinguish.

Unexpectedly, he moved, and Xie Yi also followed: "This poor master, the Buddha Hall is a quiet place, please be careful." Although he said this, his eyes were wary of each other.

Seeing this, Qinggel could only sigh secretly, and walked around casually in the Buddhist hall that was not too big, and with his eyesight, he didn't see any problems in it. There are no mezzanine chambers or cellars or anything like that, so even if you want to, you don't have the chance.

As for those Buddhist scriptures, they were also neatly placed on the shelves on the side, and no matter how fast Qinggele's hands and feet were, it was impossible for him to do the past actions of releasing those few White Lotus Sect scriptures under Xie Yi's gaze.

"Bad master, is there anything unusual here? If not, please take a look elsewhere. Xie Yi seemed to urge again, as if he reminded him.

When he said this, Grad's face sank, and after snorting, he turned his head and left. This Buddha hall really doesn't see anything weird, the things here are simple, you can see everything at a glance, just want to plant it, this is not a suitable place.

Then, Qinggel went around Xie Bingxiao's bedroom again, and there was nothing to gain. In the end, he could only pin his hopes in the study. As long as he could find any problems in this, he would have an excuse to break Xie Yi away, and then the scriptures in his arms would be able to blend into the study smoothly.

But after entering the study and searching around, I couldn't find any problems. In addition to the huge number of books, there are only a few swords and other things that can be used for town houses or entertainment. These things were controlled knives in later generations, but they are not a problem today.

Is it true that today we will return with nothing? Qingge glanced at Xie Yi with his peripheral vision, thinking a little unwillingly. But at this moment, he suddenly found that the face of the person behind him had changed a little, not like the hesitant appearance just now, but a little nervous, as if he had seen something terrible.

Qingle immediately guessed the reason, he must have seen something that was not good for him to discover, so he did this. So he quickly turned around and looked at him.

Xie Yi's reaction was not slow, and as soon as he found that Qingle had turned around, he quickly moved his gaze to the side. It's just that his movements are still half a beat slower, and Qingler follows his gaze to the side wall.

On the wall, at this time, a copy of Li Taibai's "Chivalrous Travel" was hung, and two swords were hung next to it! As his gaze swept over the appearance of one of the knives, the corners of Qingler's mouth finally raised. He immediately stepped forward, and with a stretch of his hand, he picked up the long, half-man-high knife in his hand. Then, Fang Cai looked at Xie Yi with a smile: "Steward Xie, how could this sword be here?" As far as I know, since the implementation of the sea ban in the Xuande period, there has been no trading between the Japanese and my Daming coast, but this knife ......" said and pulled out the knife, and at the bottom of the knife body, there is a thin line of Yin text - Cargill two-year!

After revealing the above year to the other party, Qingler continued: "This knife has been clearly written, this knife was forged in the past two years. Dare to ask Steward Xie, where did your Xie family get this sword? Although the imperial court has knives for the tribute of the Japanese state, it will never give it to your Xie family, right? ”

"This ......" Xie Yi suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

In fact, as early as after Xie Bingxiao was taken away by the government, the Xie family was on guard against this. So since yesterday, the whole family has been busy disposing of everything that might cause them trouble. This is also the reason why the government came to search for so long today but found nothing.

However, there are still omissions in all kinds of precautions. This knife has been hanging in Xie Bingxiao's study for two or three years, and everyone is used to its existence, so they didn't care about it this time. But he completely forgot the fact that it was a sword, and forgot that the Ming Dynasty is now forbidden to the sea.

Qinggel immediately didn't say anything more to Xie Yi, took the knife and walked straight outside. Xie Yi stayed there and hesitated for a moment, and then hurried out: "This poor master, please raise your noble hand, I have five hundred taels of silver here as a tribute, as long as this time it happens, there will be more big gifts." ”

This shot is five hundred taels of silver, and this Xie family steward is still quite generous, which is enough to see how serious this matter is. But Qinggel didn't even stop his steps, and just said: "If you try to bribe me, it will be a crime, and I will report it truthfully." ”

"You ......" Xie Yi didn't expect the other party to be unmoved by the silver, and his face suddenly sank with his heart, knowing that things were going in the worst direction.

And when Lin Lie, who was originally a little worried, saw this knife and confirmed from Qinggele's mouth that it was forged in the past few years, his expression suddenly changed: "Come on, take down everyone in the Xie family and take them into custody." Also, send people to the government office, go to the criminal department to transfer people, and completely fence this place, and no one is allowed to approach. This Xie family is likely to be a person who is a collaborator! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xie family was struck by lightning, and they were all stupid on the spot. It was Xie Binglian, who hurried back, at this time his face was also as pale as earth, he opened his mouth but couldn't say half a word, and there was only one thought left in his heart, this time, the Xie family was completely finished, even if someone went to invite those old men to Nanjing to intercede, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the responsibility.

But Lin Lie didn't care about the thoughts of these people, but just said to Qinggele: "You take people to stay here, and I will bring this knife to the yamen, so that I can help the adults settle the case completely." ”

Qinggel nodded in agreement, so Lin Lie got up and went back to the mansion, and while Xie Bingxiao was still struggling to support it, he reported the knife and the problems in it to Lu Jin.

And Lu Zhen was even more overjoyed when he learned this, and after taking the sword and taking a casual look, he stared at Xie Bingxiao, who was already pale: "Xie Bingxiao, what else do you have to say now?" Just now, the official really couldn't think of the real purpose of you to disturb Hangzhou, but now, everything is very easy to say. You colluded with the Japanese people, you must have another plan, and now you have found an opportunity to disturb the hearts of the people of Hangzhou, and everything is reasonable. You still don't plead guilty? The last sound smashed on the top of Xie Bingxiao's head like a thunderbolt, making his legs weak and almost sitting on the ground!
