Chapter 57: The Ruthless Strike (2)
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the mansion is surrounded, and there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside......"
Lei Wentong was so frightened that he trembled all over, and the morning tea that had just been brewed was also poured on his hands, but this severe pain was nothing, he thought of the worst, and he had been worried about it for the past few days, is it really so bad luck.
At the end of the day, the official army surrounded the Lei Mansion, which shows that the official government has been prepared for a long time.
"What's the big deal, what's the big deal, okay, as I go out to take a look, tell the family, don't panic, no one is allowed to act rashly."
Lei Wentong is calm, it is said that he has a lot of connections with the government, even if it is the prefect Weng Tongzhang, he has some connections, if there is something in the government, it will not suddenly attack, what is the matter today, the officers and soldiers in the city of Pingyang Mansion, that is, the sergeants of the Inspection Division, who don't often meet.
Before we reached the front yard, there was already a knock on the door outside.
Everyone in the Lei Mansion didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, and they all looked very flustered, but Lei Wentong was calm, and to a certain extent, stabilized these subordinates.
"Go open the door."
Lei Wentong stood in the front yard and ordered his subordinates to open the door, many nursing homes were already standing beside him, these nursing homes were arranged by the master's family, and at the critical moment, they must protect the safety of the master.
No sooner had the door opened than two columns of heavily armed sergeants entered, one with a spear in his hand and the other with a steel knife in his hand.
Lei Wentong's heart began to beat violently, he didn't know any of these sergeants, it didn't seem to be the sergeants of the Inspection Division, what kind of sergeants came from.
A bad thought entered his mind, could it be that the matter was exposed, these days, he has always been strange, and he has not come back to deliver a letter for a long time.
Two generals on horseback entered, dressed in silver armor.
The older general saw Lei Wentong surrounded by the courtyard and spoke coldly.
"Are you Lei Wentong?"
"I'm Lei Wentong, may I ask the general to come to the mansion, is there anything wrong, such a big noise, I don't know what crime Lu Dao has committed."
"Ha Luha, you are quite tough, come here, arrest Lei Wentong, everyone in the Lei family, gather in the house, and wait for the fate."
The nursing home beside Lei Wentong saw the sergeant coming, and raised the steel knife in his hand one after another.
"Lei Wentong, you are not timid, do you want to rebel publicly?"
"General, I didn't mean that, but you suddenly broke in, and the guards didn't know your identity, and they were also confused below."
The general smiled coldly, and took out a horse talisman from his body, this talisman card, two inches wide and one foot long, with two dragons on the top and two tigers on the bottom, only the commander of the command department is qualified to wear such a gold medal, that is to say, this general is at least the commander.
The commander is the military general of the imperial court of the third grade, and the inspection of the inspection department of Pingyang Mansion is just an official from the ninth grade, and the two are not at the same level at all, so it is said that the prefect of Pingyang Mansion is only the fourth grade.
The commander came to the house, and he said that he would arrest people.
Lei Wentong's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble, he had already expected what was going on, and what could alarm the commander was the master, unless it was a case of rebellion.
At this time, if you command the nursing home to resist, you will die faster, maybe the whole Lei Mansion may be killed, Lei Wentong doesn't want to see such a situation.
"All lay down their arms and are not allowed to resist."
The sergeant quickly stepped forward and tied up Lei Wentong strongly, and as for the nursing home, all the weapons were confiscated, and together with the subordinates, they were shot into a room and taken into custody.
The thunder mansion soon jumped up, and miserable cries and scolding came out.
The surrounding residents have long found out that the situation is wrong, but outside the Lei Mansion, there are many sergeants, and no one dares to approach, such a thing, if it hits the muzzle of the gun, it will be useless to reason with anyone.
Just after all the people in the Lei Mansion were imprisoned, two mysterious people with hats and veils appeared, they walked to the door of the Lei Mansion, raised the sign in their hands, and the sergeant immediately respectfully invited them in.
Half an hour later, the small door in the backyard of the Lei Mansion was opened, and a group of people with hats and veils appeared here, and there were two carriages waiting here.
Some of the boxes were carried out one by one and placed on top of the carriage, and after about an hour, the carriage left, and the street in the backyard was already under martial law, and there was no one to be seen, and no one knew where the carriage had gone.
After Weng Tongzhang received the news, he was greatly surprised, he, the prefect, didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, Lei Wentong was arrested, and many sergeants entered the Lei Mansion, it is estimated that they have raided their homes, what a sin this should be.
As the highest governor of Binh Duong Prefecture, of course, he wants to know what happened.
Weng Tongzhang arrived outside the Lei Mansion, and the raid was still going on.
After all, it was the prefect who came, and the general who took out the horse talisman came out.
The two whispered a few words of greeting, and Weng Tongzhang's face was full of shock.
After a while, the general took out a letter from his body and handed it to Weng Tongzhang, who hurriedly opened the letter, read it quickly, and then returned it to the general.
When the people saw him, they looked up to the sky and sighed, and said a word.
"Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live if you do it yourself."
The raid continued until three o'clock.
The Lei Mansion is too big, and it will be impossible to search for a while and a half, and of course, these sergeants are not prepared to end the battle in a day.
Lei Wentong and his two sons were taken directly to the government prison, they didn't even speak, in fact, they didn't have a chance to speak, since their homes were raided, what it means, they should be clear.
As for the family members of the Lei Mansion, they are still being detained in a room, and there are still people crying in the morning, and in the evening, before the grain of rice has entered, they have long been silent, and they probably understand that this time it may have been a catastrophe.
The courtyard of the Lei Mansion was as miserable as the subordinates, locked in the house, and could not make a sound at will, otherwise the sergeant would not be polite, and there was a subordinate who couldn't stand it and screamed, and was dragged out of the house and beaten half to death.
It wasn't until Hai that the guys from the restaurant brought lunch boxes, and there were not many of them.
That night, Lei Wentong in the prison couldn't stand the torture, and finally said out where the Lei Mansion buried gold and silver, and the big families would bury a lot of gold and silver underground, which was also for insurance, in case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, keep the money, and have a chance to make a comeback, at least there is no difficulty in life.
Early the next morning, a lot of big boxes were carried out of the Lei Mansion and loaded onto the carriage, these boxes were full of real money, and the poor Lei family had worked hard for so many years and accumulated wealth, and in an instant, it was gone.
The family members of the Lei Mansion are treated a little better, they are imprisoned in the mansion and can eat two meals a day, as for the nursing home and the subordinates, they only eat one meal a day and don't starve to death.
The encounter between Lei Wentong and Lei Fu has already spread, and Lei Wentong's two brothers have long been so frightened that they are hiding at home, they don't know what Lu Dao is about, and they don't know if Lu Dao himself will be implicated.
Fortunately, two days passed, and no one bothered them.
This went on for five days.
The general and Lei Wentong met once in the prison, and this was after the completion of the raid.
The general left the prison, and that night, Lei Wentong hanged himself.
With Lei Wentong's suicide, in the city, gossip is flying all over the sky, and no one can say clearly what Lei Wentong has committed and why he has such an encounter.
With the arrival of the holy decree, everyone finally understood that Lei Wentong's collusion with the rogues, including in the first half of last year, the rogues invaded Pingyang Mansion City, all of which had a great relationship with Lei Wentong.
For a while, many people scolded Lei Wentong, what is this doing, don't do a good business, but go to collude with the Liukou, if the government doesn't find out, I don't know what will happen to the Ludao in the future, if the Liukou attack Pingyang Mansion City, Lei Wentong has done an internal response, and when the time comes, won't everyone be finished.
The decree is so clear that no one can doubt it.
As for Lei Wentong's family, they were all sent to Qiongzhou, which is Hainan, such a poor place, in his lifetime, there is almost no hope of returning to the Central Plains alive.
The Lei family's guardians and subordinates were assigned as slaves and sold by the officials.
Lei Wentong has hanged himself, and he is still smart, as for his three sons, because they were involved in the middle of the rebellion case, the second and third children in the family were removed from their fame, and the eldest who studied in the capital Guozijian was removed from all his fame
sent to Qiongzhou and reunited with his family.
The holy decree was issued, and the family members of the Lei Mansion cried loudly, they never thought that the lord would collude with the rogue, but the evidence was conclusive, there was no room for debate, and their own lord committed suicide in the prison, which shows that the lord is clear in his heart, and the court is not mistaken.
On the day of leaving Pingyang Fucheng, the family members of Lei Mansion were put in a prison car and all sent to Qiongzhou, this scene was very miserable, most of the people in the prison car were women and children.
Su Tiancheng didn't look at it all the time, he fully felt the cruelty of the world, Lei Wentong was self-inflicted, but his family should not suffer such a big sin, this family was completely ruined, and the country was studying
It's not a big deal, but the ending is so cruel. The boss, get rid of his fame and be sent to Qiongzhou, the second and third children suffered the same thing, Lei Wentong didn't understand for fear of death, why would such a thing happen to Lu, all the family members were also dismissed to Qiongzhou, and the guards and subordinates became slaves and were sold by the government.
