Chapter 920: Kneeling to Welcome
The door opened, revealing the true face of Lushan inside, a man in his fifties with dozens of men stood there neatly, until the gate was completely opened, then they all knelt down, and said in unison: "Welcome Lord Qincha!" ”
On that day, Xia Xuan asked to see Zhang Zhijie in Hangzhou, but it was just a chic arch, but now the head of the Xia family took the old and young masters to kneel down respectfully at the gate!
This is the first time in a hundred years that the Xia family has knelt down to greet someone like this, which shows that they really feel the pressure. It is also to show weakness and win sympathy from the outside world.
Seeing that the old and young masters of the Xia family knelt down at the gate to greet him, this made Zhang Zhijie feel very surprised! However, he also understood the meaning behind the kneeling of the Xia family, and the Xia family was by no means obedient.
Zhang Zhijie got off the horse and walked towards the gate with only dozens of people including Yiye and Ziyi. Of course, Zhang Zhijie will not rush in with all the people and horses, and the Xia family's manor will not be able to hold it.
The most important thing is that no matter what, the Xia family will not do anything to Zhang Zhijie in their own manor, if they kill Zhang Zhijie, the lord of the Qincha, in their own manor! That's going to be a whole house!
Zhang Zhijie just led dozens of people into the gate, looked at these dozens of people kneeling here, looked at the leader and smiled: "Your family is Xia Bingzhong, right?" Are all the descendants of the Xia family here? ”
Zhang Zhijie stood directly in front of these people when he entered the gate, and accepted these people's kneeling as a matter of course. What's more, he didn't mean to get these people up.
Of course, Zhang Zhijie is not a domineering person, and he doesn't like people kneeling around, but these people are sinners in Zhang Zhijie's eyes, since they are sinners, then kneel.
Although Xia Bingzhong was already prepared when he heard this, his heart still sank. There was a hint of anger on the faces of the juniors behind him! Originally, they knew that they were going to kneel to greet Zhang Zhijie, and they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, but now this Zhang Zhijie not only accepted their kneeling salute, but also didn't even have the intention of letting them get up!
If it weren't for the elders in front of them still kneeling there, they would have jumped up a long time ago. The juniors can't stand this humiliation, Xia Bingzhong, the older generation, can stand it, Xia Bingzhong replied very respectfully: "Go back to Lord Qincha, except for the old lady in the house who is old and has bad bones and did not come out to greet Lord Qincha, the rest of the descendants are here!" ”
Zhang Zhijie nodded and said, "That's good!" The Governor said it all to your face! ”
"Jin Yiwei caught a felony in Zhejiang, and on the way back to Hangzhou, he was attacked and killed by bandits! The twenty brocade guards and felons were all killed, and after the investigation of this governor, it was Xia Xuan, a descendant of your Xia family, who planned this attack and murder! ”
Everyone kneeling on the ground was listening, in fact, they were already clear about the beginning and end of this matter, Xia Bing said in a deep voice: "Lord Qincha, if it is really Xia Xuan who broke the law, please punish Xia Xuan severely!" The Xia family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and they have never committed anything for several generations, how could there be such a rebel, it is simply a shame for the Xia family! If it was really Xia Xuan's doing, please punish this rebel severely! ”
Xia Xuan is Xia Bingzhong's son, but Xia Bingzhong said this categorically without hesitation, the Xia family is going to give up Xia Xuan! As long as he can get through this difficulty, Xia Xuan will go with him! Zhang Zhijie will kill if he is willing to kill, and let him go if he is willing!
It's a pity that Xia Xuan doesn't know his family and his father's attitude, otherwise he would definitely not have endured so much torture before recruiting, and he would definitely have been recruited from the beginning! If Xia Xuan knew, he would definitely feel that he had been wronged.
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The governor has already found out that it was Xia Xuan who instigated it, and Xia Xuan has already confessed!" ”
Xia Bing said in a deep voice: "Since the adults have found out, then the Xia family should not have this rebel, and the adults will punish him properly!" ”
"Ming Zheng's punishment is naturally wanted, but he has recruited something else! That's why Ben Du came to Xia's house! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.
Xia Bing said in a deep voice: "This rebel has never had a door, he talks nonsense all day long, and he talks crazy, and I don't know what he said?" ”
"The Xia family, violating the laws of the imperial court, instructed the organization of a fleet to go to sea, disregarded human life, fornicated with bandits, and bribed the officials of the imperial court! On behalf of the Son of Heaven, this governor will inspect the southern provinces and escort you all to the capital to await trial! Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice.
As soon as Zhang Zhijie's voice fell, there was an uproar, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to come directly! There was no detour at all, and there was no temptation to negotiate conditions!
Those juniors were filled with righteous indignation one by one, but the older generation's hearts sank, looking at Zhang Zhijie's appearance, they didn't intend to talk about conditions at all.
Xia Bingzhong said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's just a matter of listening to Xia Xuan's words, he was punished by the family law when he left home, so he also has a grudge against the family!" The Xia family has always believed in the ancestral teachings, done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and never did anything that violated morality! Please also have a good understanding! ”
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This governor will naturally learn from it, and now the Holy Son of Heaven is wise, even if this governor does not know it, there will naturally be an emperor's knowledge!" Therefore, the Xia family should follow this governor into Beijing! ”
The juniors of the Xia family in the back finally couldn't stand it anymore, and someone couldn't help but choke: "Do you have evidence?" Why are you arresting people? If you want to arrest our Xia family, you have to have the emperor's will, right? ”
Zhang Zhijie hadn't said anything yet, Xia Bingzhong had already turned around and scolded angrily: "Shut up!" How do you talk to Chincha-sama? After finishing speaking, Xia Bingzhong turned his head to Zhang Zhijie and said with a smile: "The juniors are young and irritable and ignorant, please forgive me!" ”
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This governor inspects the southern provinces on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and has the right to intervene in and supervise any political affairs. ”
"Is there anyone in your Xia family who is an official above the fifth grade? No, since the governor has already determined that your Xia family is involved in the case, why do you need any will? Not to mention arresting you, Ben Du can even cut you first! ”
In the end, there is no lack of cold in Zhang Zhijie's words, even Xia Bingzhong, the older generation, can't help but feel cold in their hearts after listening to Zhang Zhijie's words! Although they have always thought that their family is powerful, they can't help but admit that they are not officials in the official world!
If Zhang Zhijie really made a ruthless decision to cut first and then play, at least from the point of view of the rules, there is nothing wrong, because Zhang Zhijie does have this power! Although I don't know if it will bear any price, it has nothing to do with the Xia family, because there is no Xia family in the world at that time.
