"Smack!" Xie Jingchang's son, Xie Binglian, slapped his son in the face heavily, knocking him to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth at the same time.

Then Xie Binglian took another step forward, stared at his son on the ground hatefully, and scolded: "Evil animal, why did I give birth to such a bold evil beast as you!" The voice was full of disappointment and anger, with a hint of deep panic.

Behind them, Xie Bingxiao, the head of the Xie family, was also pale, just quietly looking at the father and son in front of him, his brother and nephew, and didn't say anything. Because his heart was in a mess at the moment, when Xie Jingchang came back in a hurry and told everything truthfully, he felt that something was wrong.

This nephew, who has been seen by himself since he was a child and has high hopes, is too bold this time, and he dares to participate in the battle in the official palace, and he is still deeply involved. That's it, now it is still related to such an extremely sensitive matter as the civil uprising, and when he thinks of this, he feels that his heart is about to be raised to his throat. What now? Will the government find out about their own body? If it is found out that Xie Jingchang is being pushed behind the scenes, what will their attitude be?

Should I take Xie Jingchang to the yamen to confess? This thought rose from Xie Bingxiao's heart several times, but he never made this decision. After all, the Xie family is such a famous son and nephew, and they are still counting on him to glorify the lintel in the future, and Xie Binglian has also helped himself too much over the years, and now handing over his son like this, how will the rest of the Xie family think of himself as the head of the family?

Nervousness, anger, panic...... All kinds of thoughts were tangled together, making Xie Bingxiao's face more and more ugly.

At this time, Xie Binglian had already thrown his son aside directly and looked at his brother: "Big brother, when things come to this point, I have to hand over this evil animal first, otherwise I am afraid that even my Xie family will be deeply affected." The commotion on the side of the Dharma field today was so great that thousands of onlookers almost collided with the prefect and the deputy envoy of the Imperial Inspection......"

"Third child, don't panic, there is always a solution to things. If you hand over Jingchang now, wouldn't that put him in a Jedi? He was only young and vigorous, and he was dizzy for a moment before he did such a thing. Xie Bingxiao hurriedly comforted.

Xie Bingli, the second child who had not spoken on the side, also spoke in a timely manner: "Yes, third, something happened, we should indeed solve it, but not even our own children and nephews have to be betrayed." Moreover, with the status of my Xie family in Hangzhou, even if the government wants to move us, it is not so easy. ”

"Beast, do you hear me? It is because of you that my Xie family is now facing such a situation. You, hurry up to the ancestral hall, kneel in front of your ancestors, and don't take another half step out without my orders! Xie Binglian immediately got off the donkey and shouted at his son.

In fact, as Xie Jingchang's son, how could he bear to let his son go to the yamen to suffer? What he said just now was just to advance and retreat, but now that his two brothers have said so, I think Xie Jingchang is safe for the time being. And with the relationship that the Xie family has managed for many years, although this time the matter is indeed tricky, it should not be too difficult to keep Xie Jingchang.

Xie Jingchang was like a defeated rooster at this time, he didn't dare to say a word, drooped his head, got up from the ground with difficulty, and walked out accompanied by two servants outside.

But before he could take a few steps, there was a commotion outside, and then, a large group of government officials and soldiers had rushed in, and the Xie family slaves who followed closely behind them all looked anxious: "Master, they ......"

It was a young official who came, with a handsome appearance and slender eyebrows, and when he saw him, Xie Jingchang's face changed again: "You...... Lu Jin! ”

Lu Zhen didn't pay attention to the young master of the Xie family at all, and directly looked at the three main brothers of the Xie family who stood up inside: "Which of you is Xie Bingxiao, the head of the Xie family?" There was no warmth in his voice, and he looked like he was completely businesslike.

If it was in the past, even if the prefect Hua Qianfeng came, the Xie family would not take it too seriously. But now, seeing this murderous green-robed petty official who came with people, Xie Bingxiao could only walk out of the door and arched his hand at Lu Jin: "It's down there, I don't know what this adult is doing here?" ”

"You Xie family incident happened, please follow me back to the yamen to talk." Lu Zhen waved his hand, and ordered unceremoniously: "Take Xie Bingxiao and Xie Jingchang back to the yamen." If there is resistance, it will be punished as rebellion! ”

Hearing this, the Xie family was even more struck in their hearts, and those who wanted to step forward to obstruct or say something didn't dare to make a move at the moment. Even Xie Binglian and Xie Bingli can only look at Xie Bingxiao to see what kind of attitude he has.

Xie Bingxiao sighed, in the situation in front of him, it was impossible for the other party to listen to what he said, and the other party had already put on such a posture, all he could do was to obey his fate. So after being stunned for a while, he said: "Since the adults said so, the grass people naturally dare not disobey." However, can you let the grass people change their clothes before they go with you? ”

"Yes." Lu Zhen nodded lightly, without meaning to embarrass him.

Seeing this, Xie Bingxiao didn't say much, turned around and walked inside, and at the same time made a look at his two brothers, and asked the two of them to go with him.

After returning to the backyard, Xie Bingxiao opened his mouth and ordered: "I'm afraid this time the matter is even more serious than we thought." If what I expected was right, everything would have been laid out a long time ago, in order to deal with our Xie family. At this time, we must not mess up, second, after you wait for me to leave, you will quickly bring some gold and silver, and Jing Qing will leave Hangzhou first, so as not to have another accident. ”

"Big brother......" Xie Bingli was a little anxious when he heard it: "How can this be done?" Could it be that if something happens at home, can I ignore it and just think about protecting myself and my son? ”

"Listen to me, it's just in case. My Xie family has deep roots here, and it is not a government office that can kill us, I went to the yamen, and I will be able to come back soon. Xie Bingxiao looked at his brother and said.

Being stared at by him like this, Xie Bingli finally didn't dare to insist anymore, so he could only nod: "Okay, big brother, don't worry, as long as I am away for a day, I will definitely not let you have anything to do!" Even if you really ...... I'll be sure to save you! ”

Looking at this second brother named Bingli, who is actually irritable and does the kind of thing that loses his head, Xie Bingxiao just smiled and patted him on the shoulder with his hand. Then, he looked at Xie Binglian, who had a solemn face: "Third child, you have always had a good relationship with the people on the official face, and this time the safety of me and Jingchang depends on you running outside." No matter what the price is, whether it is looking for a eunuch or a political envoy, you have to do your best! ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely take you out of the yamen as soon as possible." Xie Binglian hurriedly nodded in agreement, and walked in the direction of the tent as he spoke, obviously preparing to bribe those high-ranking officials' bargaining chips.

It wasn't until these words were finished that Xie Bingxiao returned to his house, hastily changed into his own set of clothes, and then returned to the outer room.

Lu Zhen didn't have any dissatisfied reaction to his belated move, but said with a smile: "Xie Yuanwai, can you leave now?" ”

"Let's go. By the way, the grass people still don't know what the adult's surname is, and what position he lives in. ”

"Lu Jin, now it's just a verdict from the government and the district, and it's really difficult to get into the eyes of Xie Yuan." Lu Zhen didn't hide his name and identity at all, and then looked at Xie Jingchang, who was blue and dark, and couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him, with a deep meaning: "I had a relationship with the third young master of the Xie family before. ”

"It turned out to be Lord Lu, but I have admired the name for a long time." Xie Bingxiao replied noncommittally, and then walked out of his own door under the escort of these yacha soldiers.

When I went out and walked through the long alley, I saw that there were many people gathered outside, pointing at this side and talking about it. And after seeing Xie Bingxiao, who was brought out by the government, everyone was even more shocked, and the discussion became louder.

In this regard, everyone who came out here did not react, and quickly escorted the uncle and nephew of the Xie family into the carriage that had been parked outside, while Lu Zhen got into another carriage and hurried away.

However, even if nothing was left, the news that the government had sent people to take people directly spread in the city of Hangzhou.

I don't know who the news came from, but this matter was quickly combined with the turmoil that had just happened on the execution ground, and it was said that the Xie family instructed some people to want to disturb the execution ground, and this was taken down by the government.

When this news was spread, ordinary people gave birth to an idea that was rarely seen in the past - it seems that this time the Xie family is afraid that something big will happen, and maybe the entire family will be overturned.

The people don't fight with the officials, no matter how famous and talented your Xie family is in Hangzhou, after such an incident, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out.

Xie Binglian is still quite disdainful of this statement. Because he believes that with the friendship between the Xie family and the people in the government, as long as he gives enough benefits, he must have the possibility of turning big things into small ones.

However, what happened next made his idea completely unsuccessful.

When he rushed to the eunuch to see Wu Miao, the reaction he got was that Gonggong Wu had just gone out before and was not in Hangzhou. And when he went to the Yamen of the Political Envoy, the other party's attitude became even tougher, and he didn't even give him a word, so he sent him away. Even if he Xie Sanye accompanied Xiao to send five taels of silver, those yamen guards only sighed with some pity, and finally said that all this was specially ordered by their own adults!

This is to put the Xie family to death.

It wasn't until this moment that Xie Binglian finally panicked, could it be that the Xie family was really at the moment of overturning?
