Chapter 601: The Sin of Collaborating with the Enemy
Drive! Boom –
On the official road outside the city, people and horses ride the red dust all the way, and the dust raised does not disperse for a long time, attracting pedestrians to look sideways.
"Ahhh
Brother Li's hand waved the dust, and he watched the pedestrian go away, "I'm afraid that this speed will travel six hundred miles a day." ”
"Is there something wrong with Youzhou?" The voice of the person who spoke was melancholy, six hundred miles in an emergency, not a border emergency, how could anyone fight so hard.
It shouldn't be, that called Brother Li's heart said.
The pedestrian who was talked about by these pedestrians stopped for a moment after advancing fifty miles.
"Head, we can rush to Luoxia Town before nightfall, and we should be able to arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow." After Yan Yan inspected their team of more than a dozen people, he solved some of the problems they encountered before coming to Shen Dongxi's side.
When he was in the Youzhou military camp, as the news of the capital reached Youzhou like snowflakes, Shen Dongli realized the dangerous situation of the Xie family in Beijing. With the news coming one after another, the Xie family was like a small boat swaying in the sea of wind, the wind and rain were drifting, and they could be destroyed at any time.
When the accusation of the Xie family collaborating with the enemy was reported in the palace, Shen Dongli finally couldn't help but come back to help. After deploying the affairs of the general, he entrusted it to Xing Shaosi, and took a dozen henchmen selected from the army, quietly left the military camp in disguise, and rushed back to the capital day and night.
They traveled six hundred miles in a hurry, and the Marches did not stop, killing a batch of horses and replacing three batches of horses.
Yan Yan saw Shen Dongli holding the cowhide water bag in his hand, raised his head and took a sip, his eyes fixed on the direction of the capital, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't worry too much, we will be able to arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow, and there shouldn't be much change in the next two days." Yan Yan was comforting, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.
This time, not only was the Xie family in crisis, but in fact, the Yan family, which seemed to be unharmed, was actually in danger.
Shen Dongli didn't say anything about his words, but said, "Tell me to go down, rest for another quarter of an hour, and then get on the horse and rush to Luoxia Town!" ”
"Yes!" Capital
As the Xie Fu family was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, the people in Beijing gradually panicked.
These ordinary people are just small people, but they have lived in the imperial city for a long time, and they have a unique sensitivity to the upper class, politics and the direction of the wind. As the Xie family of the National Medical Mansion was besieged, instead of quickly returning to normal, as time went by, the news of their collaboration with the enemy also spread, and the common people knew that something was wrong on this day.
Moreover, with the siege of the Xie family, the medical halls and pharmacies under the Xie family are in a state of closure and suspension, which has brought great trouble to the people. Every time many ordinary people pass by the National Doctor's Mansion and see the heavy Imperial Forest Army, they can't help but complain in private.
"What's wrong with the Imperial Court? Why did you surround the Xie family? "That's the initial doubt.
Then, there was suspicion, "Isn't it true that the Xie family has committed something?" ”
Then, there's speculation, "If yes, it must be a big deal." ”
The Yuwen family didn't even care about the decency of the elders of the two dynasties, isn't it a big deal?
"It shouldn't be the emperor's decree, I heard that the old man of the saint is in very poor health and has been recuperating."
"It won't be the prince's order, you must know that Young Master Xie is now his side concubine!"
"I can't understand it, I can't understand it, the front foot just sealed the young master Xie as the prince's side concubine, and the back foot made people surround the National Medical Mansion."
"yes, it's only been a long time."
"I heard that the Xie family committed the big crime of killing the head, collaborating with the enemy!"
"Impossible!"
said that the Xie family rebelled, and they were the first to disbelieve it.
The Xie family's descendants are full of two people, and the old man Xie is buried in the yellow mud to his neck, and the young master Xie is a female streamer, can become the young master or even the head of the family of a big family, is it possible that he still has the ambition to be the empress?
In other words, you say they are desperately trying to rebel? Even if it is really successful, will Old Man Xie ascend the throne or will the Xie family be able to produce an empress!
"I only hope that the court will find out the truth as soon as possible and return the Xie family to innocence."
"Yes, hurry up, return the Xie family's innocence, so that the hospital medicine store can open."
Since the palace went out and the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Xie family, the stalls under the Xie family have all closed their doors. It's not that something like this hasn't happened before, and the shops of those ministers' families are closed as soon as they are closed, and the impact is not great. But the Xie family has made many people at a loss this time, especially the closure of the Qingbao Hospital, and the little people of Xie Duo have no way to see a doctor, and they are almost dying.
It's really a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer.
They don't blame the Xie family, they can understand their approach very well, the nest is surrounded, where do they still have the heart to open a store. To make matters worse, the Xie family's Chinese patent medicines or pills were also discontinued. As soon as this news came out, it was no less than a bolt from the blue for the people. As a result, the unused proprietary Chinese medicines that had previously flowed out were speculated on the black market to prices that were two or three times the original price. And with the refusal of the Imperial Forest Army besieging the Xie family to withdraw, the prices of these Chinese patent medicines have a faint tendency to continue to rise.
Because of these factors, countless people are eagerly and secretly looking forward to the emperor's disposition of the Xie family.
However, they were soon slapped in the face.
Emperor Chrysostom opened the jade, and the Xie family was accused of collaborating with the enemy and financing the enemy. With the affirmation of the crime of collaborating with the enemy, there is another holy decree that falls on the head of the Xie family, arresting Xie Rumo, the young master of the Xie family. At the same time, the messenger also brought an edict to remove the plaque.
For the Xie family, this news is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
With the plaque of the National Medical Mansion being taken down, when everyone was speculating that Old Man Xie would not be able to bear the news, the Xie family maintained its peace as always after being sealed.
On the contrary, many of the onlookers couldn't stand this and their eyes turned red, and even many people couldn't help but murmur, "How can this be?" ”
"How can the Xie family of the National Medical Mansion collaborate with the enemy!"
"The human heart is unpredictable, what is impossible? You think, if it weren't for such a fatal crime, with the status of the crown prince and concubine of the young lord Xie, the prince would be able to protect the Xie family. Someone retorted with a sneer.
This makes sense, and they couldn't do anything about it for a while.
"Shhh
Let's say that after Xie Rumo and his entourage dressed up in disguise, they quietly arrived in Beijing.
Walking on the streets of the capital, they clearly felt that the entire imperial city was loose outside and tight inside.
They only stopped two streets away in Yongxingfang District, where the National Medical Office is located, and listened to the discussion of people coming and going.
Xie Rumo was silent, she watched the door of the Xie family of the National Medical Mansion closed, and she was only allowed to enter but not leave. Even the weekday expenses were handed in by people from outside the house from the small door.
