Just when Xu Bin and Xi Yan were retiring, the raid of the Jing family by the palace avant-garde led by Jin Wu Huo Miao was also in full swing.

The gate that Jing had stood for more than 100 years was forcibly opened under the pressure of the holy decree, and hundreds of soldiers armed with spears rushed in, and before Jing Yuheng and Jing Yuan could react, they were immediately taken down and locked, and then thrown into the prisoner car.

Regarding this flying disaster, Jing Yuan seemed to have lost the ability to think and was stunned and did not say a word; As for the head of the Jing family, he has been asking for a face, but Huo Miao seems to have turned a deaf ear and simply ignored his request.

After all parts of Jing's mansion were sealed and Jing's women and children were confined in the inner courtyard, Zhijin Wu personally escorted the men who were Jing's officials in the court into the prison.

As soon as all the affairs had been taken care of, Huo Miao rushed back to the palace non-stop and replied to the emperor.

The emperor was waiting for Huo Miao to come back and forth, but as soon as Huo Miao arrived, the emperor was busy asking: "When you go, how about the Jing family's father and son?" "The Emperor doesn't want to say their names now, once he remembers...... The emperor's mood will be extremely bad.

They didn't dare to resist, and the eldest son of the Jing family didn't say anything as if he had lost his mind...... As for the head of the Jing family, he has been begging for the face saint, and he has been crying out for injustice. ”

"Shouting grievances? Face saint? The emperor sneered, and his face was full of anger again, "He is embarrassed to shout injustice!" Did you say what sin they were in when you went? ”

"This ...... No, the minister was just called to do things. ”

There is no clear charge, this is also Huo Miao's doubts, when Xu Bin and Xi Yan were in the hall just now, Huo Miao was far away outside the hall, and he couldn't hear what was said inside at all, at this time he came back to his senses after doing something, Huo Miao looked at the emperor with slightly confused eyes.

"Then what kind of injustice does he shout! If you don't have a weak heart, how can you cry out for injustice! The emperor seemed to think of something again, and turned to the eunuch on the side and said, "When you went to Jing's house to get that square seal before, what was Jing Yuheng's reaction?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," the eunuch was very respectful, and said truthfully, "The head of the Jing family heard that the slave was ordered to take it, although he was reluctant, he still untied the seal......"

"Reluctantly?"

"Yes," the eunuch Si Li has followed the emperor for many years, so he naturally knows how to speak at this time, "After the slave announced the decree, the head of the Jing family also shirked and wanted to go to the back hall to change clothes, but was stopped by the slave......"

"You're doing the right thing," the emperor is now disgusted with the Jing clan to the point of incomprehension, but since the thieves have all been detained, he only has to wait for the criminal department to interrogate and come back.

After dropping these words, the emperor drove back to his dormitory and threw everything on the heads of his courtiers.

The Jing clan was suddenly raided, which made everyone in the court uneasy, and everyone wanted to know what was going on, but no one dared to act rashly. The original majestic and prominent Jing family mansion is now surrounded by the avant-garde of the palace who are strong and stubborn. wanted to find out some news from Huo Miao, but Huo Miao, who didn't know anything...... In fact, he really didn't know.

But the ministers also understand...... With such a big movement, the Jing clan's crime must not be small. Many inquiries were fruitless, and the ministers had to go back to their respective mansions and wait for tomorrow morning.

But the ministers obviously don't have to wait until tomorrow morning, not long after Xu Bin left the palace, all the officials of the Criminal Department were urgently called to the yamen of the Criminal Department. Xu Bin briefly introduced the facts of the case, and then began an intensive interrogation.

And Xi Yan, on the other side, also effortlessly found the whereabouts of the 200,000 taels of silver in Jing Yuan's annex. When he led someone to send a piece of physical evidence to the Criminal Department, he happened to run into the Criminal Department Shangshu, who was too busy.

"Young Master Xi, but the stolen silver has been found?"

"Exactly," Xi Yan pulled out a roll of documents from his sleeve, "This is the bill found in the Jingyuan Villa, and it matches the bill of the dart bureau...... However, the stolen silver still has to be sent back by the Criminal Department, after all, 200,000 taels is not a small amount. ”

"That's true," Xu Bin naturally took over the evidence and said casually, "Since Gongzi is handling this case under secret orders, if you have someone who needs it, you can transfer it from the Criminal Department." ”

"Thank you Xu Shangshu," Xi Yan was not polite, and directly opened his mouth to make a request, "But this case is indeed not small, and it may take some time to deal with it." I also hope that Xu Shangshu can help vacate a room in the yamen of the Criminal Department, and give me a token to enter and exit the prison," Xi Yan was slightly embarrassed, "Although he has been ordered, the lower official is now hanging a military ......position after all."

"You can rest assured," Xu Bin took out a token from his bosom very understandingly, handed it to Xi Yan, "This token can enter and exit the prison at will, and as for your office, it is still in the original east wing." ”

"Thank you, thank you," Xi Yan thanked Xu Bin again with a smile, and the two stopped greeting each other, and then went to their respective jobs.

Although the Jing clan has hundreds of years of accumulation, the collapse of the building is only a moment's work, and the speed of eight or nine hundred soldiers raiding the house is naturally very fast. In just two days, the entire Jingfu was turned upside down.

When the officials in charge of the criminal department and the household department saw this scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation...... Stacks of silver were neatly stacked in an empty room, and silver ingots were piled up from the ground to the beams, and they thought that was the end of it, but when the door of the other secret room was opened, everyone was stung in the eyes by the golden yellow of the room......

"These ...... If it is folded into silver taels, it will be three million taels to say the least......" It was Liu Yuanli who made such an emotion, and standing beside him was Xue Zhong, the head of the household.

"yes...... Plus the ones piled up in the front yard, and the ones that came out of the wall, I don't know how many will be in the end...... What the Jing clan has done over the years, I'm afraid even His Majesty can't think of it. ”

"With these alone, it is far more than the Xie family back then......"

Just as the two of them were sighing, another soldier came to report, "Two adults, I found a secret compartment in the master's study. ”

The two have been in officialdom for many years and are very sensitive people...... Moreover, it is the most important place such as the head of the family's study, and I think that there must be important evidence of Jing's rebellion hidden in the secret grid.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuanli and Xue Zhong both hurried to the study.

The compartment was very narrow, except for a locked sandalwood box, and only a book wrapped in silk silk.

Xue Zhong's eyes were quick, and he asked the guard beside him to take a knife, and he ruthlessly split the lock on the wooden box. But the contents of the box obviously surprised the two of them, "I didn't expect that what the head of the Jing family hid here was actually some silver tickets...... Liu Yuanli was obviously a little disappointed, but he heard Xue Zhong say: "No...... It's all title deeds. ”

A palm-thick piece of paper is full of the Jing family's title deeds, and the properties and farms under these title deeds are almost all over every state capital in Dazhao. Xue Zhong couldn't help but sigh, as the head of the household, he knew too well how important the farm house was to the people...... With so many land deeds, I don't know how many people have been exploited behind them.

Although Liu Yuanli sighed secretly in his heart, he still reached out and untied the silk silk wrapped in the book, "Zuofutang Collection!" ”

Liu Yuanli's exclamation surprised Xue Zhongdu, but when he came back to his senses, the shock in his heart was slowly replaced by solemnity and fear.

Think about how many officials in the Great Zhao Dynasty were degraded for this book...... How many people have lost their heads. Now, such a rebellious book has been searched in the Jing family's study, and the Jing family ...... It's no longer powerible.
