0262 Xu Jue's calculations
On the second day after Xu Wenli was killed by thunder, a complaint sued the Xu family to the yamen.
After Emperor Yong'an learned about this, he immediately sent Tianlongwei to investigate thoroughly.
Now, the case has finally come to an end.
Just three days after Xu Shan was punished to kneel in the mourning hall, Emperor Yong'an personally issued an edict to remove Xu Jie from his official position, remove Xu Jie and Xu Ying's fame, demote all the Xu family to commoners, confiscate family property, and send them back to their hometowns.
All the people involved in the Xu clan will also lose their fame.
Those who hold official positions shall be dismissed.
The culprit was sentenced to beheading.
Those who were guilty of a lesser offense were also sentenced to prison.
Although Xu Jue and Xu Ying didn't have to behead or go to the border, just removing their fame, confiscating their family property, and repatriating them to their hometowns were enough for them.
You must know that Xu Wenli was struck by lightning has long been spread.
When Tianlongwei went to investigate, he had already publicized this matter to Xu Wenli's hometown.
Not to mention the entire Xu family, even the local people know about it.
It is conceivable what kind of difficult situation Xu Jue and others will face when they return to their hometown.
This time, many people in the Xu family were implicated, but people are selfish, and there are not many people who are willing to blame themselves. Many people who have been punished often do not feel that they are at fault, but prefer to blame others for their mistakes.
After Xu Wenli was struck by lightning, the Xu family was thoroughly investigated.
How can these people not be angry?
When Xu Wenli's body was sent back, how could the people of the Xu clan let him enter the ancestral grave and spoil the good feng shui of the Xu family?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult for Xu Wenli to find a place to be buried.
What's even more terrifying is that Xu Jue and Xu Ying were both stripped of their fame and never had a career again.
So after the will came down, Xu Ying, who was still sick, was so angry that she vomited blood.
Although Xu Jue didn't vomit blood, his face was terribly white, and his whole body was shaky.
Compared with when Xu Wenli first had an accident, he has lost weight several times, and the whole person is terrifyingly thin.
It can be said that it is skinny and bone.
The ladies weren't much better.
Jiang Shi and Chen Wan fainted directly, leaving Xu Shan screaming wildly, as if she had gone crazy.
After the angel who delivered the message left, Xu Jue immediately pulled Xu Ying by the hand: "Second brother, don't be stunned, come and help your mother back to the room." β
However, Xu Ying was still stunned, as if she was already stupid.
Xu Jue saw it in his eyes, and was so angry that he slapped him hard: "Second brother!" What are you doing? Hurry up and help my mother back! β
"Smack!"
Xu Ying's face was crooked, but he still didn't react.
Xu Jue was so angry that he slapped him again: "Xu Ying, you cheer me up!" β
"Cheer up?" Xu Ying suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "Brother, we have all been removed from our fame, and we will never have a career in this life, how can you cheer me up?" β
Xu Jue gritted his teeth and said: "It's just to remove the fame, not to kill the head!" As long as we are alive, there is hope! β
"Hope? What hope? Xu Ying looked at him stunned, and suddenly laughed, "Do you want to talk about the nonsense Shan'er said?" Brother, when did you become so naΓ―ve? β
Regardless of whether Xu Shan is really reborn or not, whether what she said is true or not.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Their Xu family is finished.
Neither he nor Xu Jue wanted to get up again.
Unless Emperor Yong'an is willing to rehabilitate them, with such a stigma, how can Xu Mengzhen marry his grandson?
But the crimes of the Xu clan are already conclusive, how can Emperor Yong'an rehabilitate them?
Unless Emperor Yong'an is in power and the crown prince ascends to the throne, it is absolutely impossible.
However, Emperor Yong'an was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, unless he died suddenly, how could the crown prince ascend to the throne?
As long as Emperor Yong'an is still there, their Xu family will not have the possibility of rehabilitation and recovery.
Even if the real prince ascends the throne, the Xu family is rehabilitated.
But their father was killed by the thunderbolt, how could Xu Mengzhen marry into the royal family with such a way of death?
When Xu Ying thought of this, her heart was only full of despair.
So he laughed louder and louder, like a madman.
Xu Jue just looked at it coldly, until Xu Ying laughed hoarsely, he gave Xu Ying two slaps again, and then asked him coldly: "Have you laughed enough?" β
Xu Ying raised her eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.
Xu Jue sighed, and then said: "I have already thought about it, after returning to my hometown, you and I will live together and keep filial piety for my father for three years." In the past three years, you and I have practiced martial arts together. After three years, you will join the army and try to climb up. β
Xu Ying was taken aback: "Practicing martial arts? Joining the army? Brother, do you think I can do it? β
After a pause, he said in a panic, "We are afraid that we have already offended the King of Qin, if you let me join the army, won't you let me go to death?" β
Xu Jue smiled coldly: "No matter how arrogant King Qin is, he can't cover the sky with one hand." Since I dare you to join the army, I am sure that I will save your life! You are my own brother, and after my father dies, we are the only two brothers, will I harm you? β
When Xu Ying heard this, she couldn't help but change her face: "Brother, you mean, you have ...... in the army"
Xu Jue interrupted him sharply: "Shut up, you can also say this?" Anyway, you listen to me. But it's too early to say this, and when we go back, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble waiting for us. Even if you want to join the army, you have to wait until three years later, so don't think about it so much, take care of your body first. β
Xu Ying nodded, but she was not so desperate in her heart.
He originally thought that if he got rid of his fame, he would have no career in this life, so he could only do nothing for a lifetime.
No, Xu Jue actually gave him such hope!
Joining the Army...... Joining the Army......
That's right, he shouldn't just give up! How can a good man waste his life?
After he returned to his hometown, he began to practice martial arts!
Xu Ying thought about it beautifully, but she forgot a crucial thing: did he have the talent to practice martial arts?
Gentleman's six arts, although he has also practiced riding and archery, but that bit of ability is just a fist embroidered leg.
It's really nothing.
Now that he is already a handful of years, even if he studies hard, what can he practice?
However, Xu Ying has been stimulated by the news revealed by Xu Jue, where can she care about thinking about this?
Emperor Yong'an gave the Xu family three days to move out of the capital, but they wanted to save face, so they didn't delay until the third day before leaving, and after packing up, they left the capital the next day.
When they left, they sat in a simple carriage, poked their heads out and looked at the towering walls of the capital, their hearts full of unwillingness and resentment.
Wait, sooner or later, they will come back!
In order to avoid suspicion, the female dependents and the men sat separately in the car.
Chen Wan offered to sit in the same car as Xu Shan.
Jiang Shi sat in the same car as Mrs. Xu.
In the carriage, Xu Shan's whole person was in a trance.
I don't want Chen Wan to say suddenly: "Shan'er, help me pinch my legs." Don't forget, now the family spends all of it as my dowry. β
