Chapter 17: The Xia Family's Troubles
Early the next morning, a bunch of strangely dressed people surrounded the Xia family.
They are the imperial guards of the imperial court, and they have the privilege of cutting first and then playing, claiming that a vicious gangster infiltrated the Xia family last night, and killed many scholars, and wanted to search the Xia family.
Although the people of the Xia family were afraid at this time, they were afraid of the so-called gangster, and they did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
This search is extremely strange, because yesterday Xia Changyuan was urgently asked by the emperor to face the saint, and he has not returned until now.
Sure enough, the search was extremely violent.
If it's a search, it's basically like smashing.
As soon as he broke into the house, everything he could see was overturned, and the sound of all kinds of things being interrupted came out one after another, which frightened many maids and young ladies into crying and screaming.
At this time, the front of the Xia family was full of people eating melons, and they were all discussing whether something huge had happened to the Xia family.
At this time, Xia Sichou walked over, looking at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the Xia family's compound, his face twitched with anger, and he immediately wanted to rush into the theory.
But before he could go in, he was pulled away by a big hand.
"Who! Who dares to do this to Young Master Ben! See if I don't pick your skin! ”
Xia Sichou is a well-known gentleman in Kyoto, and he has a big temper.
Seeing someone do this to him, he immediately began to yell.
"It's me, you still want to peel my skin?"
Xia Lu's voice sounded, and Xia Sichou immediately quieted down.
"Xia Luo? How did you end up here? ”
After being stunned for a moment, he heard a strange noise from the Xia family's compound again.
"Okay, don't worry about this, we're going to let people smash it!"
Xia Sichou said and wanted to rush out again, but was dragged back by Xia Luo again.
"You kid calm me down, who do you think would dare to smash your house in the entire Kyoto City?"
"Who dares to smash my house?"
This made Xia Sichou quiet down, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes showed fear.
"What do you mean...... Royal house? ”
Although Xia Sichou is not very smart, he also knows the influence of the Xia family in Kyoto.
Although Xia Changchang is only a second-grade official, and he doesn't need to go to the court, he has no rights in the court.
But he's a judge!
In charge of Kyoto's justice, the oil and water are outrageous.
After so many years, the influence is not even inferior to that of the prime minister!
Let's ask such a family, apart from the royal family, what other family dares to move?
This time, Xia Sichou was also coaxed.
"That'...... So what now? Shall we run away? ”
It seems that this kid is really scared, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
But this is also normal, in such a society where the emperor lets you die, you have to die, imperial power means everything.
The royal family wants you to be destroyed, dare to ask who has the means?
Compared with Xia Sichou, Xia Luo is more calm.
"I don't think it should be possible for that emperor to do anything to your Xia family in a short period of time, first, the influence of the Xia family is too great, and second, if it moves your Xia family, what is the benefit to the royal family?
Besides, isn't your grandfather still on the emperor's side? Maybe it's just an ordinary search, but it's a little bit louder? ”
In fact, Xia Luo said this, and he didn't believe it.
Send someone to cause the accident yourself, and then send someone to search for it.
Such a big movement is obviously deliberately made by the royal family.
Coupled with what the eaves dog said yesterday, it can basically hammer the royal family to engage the Xia family.
The reason why I say this is to stabilize Xia Sichou first, and then wait and see what happens.
It didn't take long for a solemn middle-aged man to walk to the door of the Xia family's compound.
He wanted to enter, but was stopped by the man in black at the door.
For a while, he was furious, and the bruises on his face erupted.
"Blind your dog's eye! Don't look at who I am! ”
"Xia Xiangwen of the Xia family, the waiter of the Criminal Department, how could I not know it? It's just that there are villains in the Xia family now, we conduct a routine search, and I hope that the adults will not embarrass me and wait. ”
It seems that the leader of this group of black-clothed people is speaking, and he has extremely good strength.
Even in the face of Xia Xiangwen, who has the rank of third-grade, he will not back down at all.
"Okay, you keep searching, but it's better to have some so-called villains!"
Not long after, one of the men in black inside seemed to notice something and whispered a few words into the ear of the man in black.
After listening to the other party's whispers, a grim expression appeared on the face of the man in black.
"Xia Xiangwen, we found a thousand taels of gold in the cellar of the Xia family, and under the pillars of the inner courtyard, we found countless silver, as well as ......"
After listening to what the other party said, Xia Xiangwen looked incredulous.
"No way, it's absolutely impossible!"
When the other party said this, he was basically telling him that there were people in the Xia family who were corrupt, and the amount was huge.
If you want to embezzle such a large sum of money, the official position must be not small.
There are many officials in the Xia family, but there are only two who are big officials, one is him, and the other is his father Xia Changyuan.
He can guarantee that he is absolutely not corrupt, at least the embezzled money is not placed in the Xia family compound.
If what the other party said was true, wouldn't it mean that the money belonged to his father......
It's impossible to think about it!
His father wasn't like that!
"What? You don't believe it? ”
Xia Xiangwen shook his head, he definitely didn't believe it.
"Okay, then you can come in and see for yourself!"
Follow the head of the man in black into the inner courtyard, in addition to all kinds of dilapidated scenes, there are also a large amount of gold and silver, as well as all kinds of priceless things.
Xia Xiangwen was stupid, and before he could say anything, a slightly short man was escorted over by the man in black.
"Xia Xiangwu, what else do you have to say?"
The person who was escorted over was Xia Changyuan's second son, Xia Xiangwu.
Xia Xiangwu was already trembling with fright, and he lay on the ground, tears streaming down his eyes.
"I didn't want to be so greedy! I really didn't want to be greedy so much! ”
Hearing this, Xia Xiangwen understood what was going on.
He looked at Xia Xiangwu with an angry face.
"What do you say? You mean you got it all from you? ”
"Big brother, save my big brother, I don't want to die, I really know it's wrong! I know it's wrong! ”
Xia Xiangwu was like a drowning person who wanted to grab the last straw, and pounced directly towards Xia Xiangwen.
And Xia Xiangwen hated iron and steel: "You ...... How can you be greedy for so much silver? ”
"I don't know, it's only a little bit every time, I haven't spent a cent of this money, I haven't spent a penny! Don't dare! ”
Seeing this, the man in black smiled faintly, knowing that the time had come.
"Xia Xiangwu of the Xia family, embezzle disaster relief from all over the country, save life, according to the law of Tianyuan, the clansmen sit together, and immediately arrest all the clansmen of the Xia family!"
As soon as the words fell, all the black-clothed people around them began to act, and first stopped Xia Xiangwen and Xia Xiangwu.
Just as the Xia family and the rest of the clan fled in panic, a voice full of majesty sounded.
"I see who dares!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and it was actually Xia Changchang who was wearing a python robe!
