Volume 5 Jiangnan 480 Temple Chapter 431 Xie Family Change (II)
When such a stubborn and stubborn official army suddenly came to the door with murderous violence, it immediately shocked everyone in the Xie family's mansion, and even the dogs guarding the door curled up beside them, not daring to make a sound.
Then, without waiting for the steward of the Xie family to come forward to ask, there were already soldiers who rushed up, showing their knives and guns, forcing them to be silent, let alone transmitting messages inward, and they all stayed in the front yard honestly, waiting for the delivery.
That's not all, this army then divided into a part and guarded all the gates leading to the outside of the Xie family's mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. It was only at this time that Bao Da, the commander of the Weizi Battalion under the command of Hangzhou Garrison Yu Shouxin, strode into the Xie mansion surrounded by the remaining hundreds of elites.
As a middle-level officer in Hangzhou, he only has six grades, and he really didn't have the qualifications to enter the Xie family in the past, let alone come to see Xie Ao, the head of the Xie family.
But today, the situation is very different, Bao Da's whole person's momentum is also very strong, all the way to let the Xie family servants and subordinates take down on the spot, and then like a whirlwind straight to the rear house, under the guidance of one of the stewards, came to the ancestral hall where many Xie family children were gathered.
Seeing that the children of the Xie family were all looking at him with shocked eyes, Bao Da felt even more relieved, and said with a smile: "Your Xie family is really worthy of being a famous family, and there are no children who have even gone out to visit and enjoy the lanterns on such a good festival." ”
It is said that being a thief is weak-hearted, and under the arrangement of Xie Ao, everyone in the Xie family was naturally terrified when they saw the officials and soldiers coming to the door, and they all retreated backwards.
Only Xie Ao stood up at this time and calmly faced these hundreds of generals: "This is my Xie family's family matter, and the government can't punish us because my Xie family didn't participate in the Lantern Festival in Hangzhou this year, right?" ”
"If it's just this little thing, the government naturally won't have any blame. However, when it comes to the safety of Hangzhou, the life and death of thousands of people, and the safety of temples in the city, the government must come forward. ”
Bao Da suddenly stared at the other party-for-tat, and said word by word: "Xie Ao, your incident has happened." All the fanatics who were ordered by you to set fire to the temples have been caught, and you have confessed that you are the masterminds, and that I have been ordered to arrest your whole family! ”
These words hit Xie Ao's ears like thunder, making his body shake and almost spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
Although he had just looked at the dark night sky outside, and the faint sound of laughter, he had a very bad premonition. But when the truth came, he still couldn't bear it.
The failure of the plan was enough to hit people, and now he was even asserted by the government on the spot about his crime, which was too big a blow for Xie Ao.
"Wronged, ......" At this time, someone in the Xie family behind shouted loudly and stood up to argue: "Commander Bao Mingjian, we don't know about the arson of the temples in the city this time, and it was all done by Xie Ao and he hid it from all of us. We also learned about this from him just now, and we are still persuading him not to harm others! ”
This one opened his mouth was Xie Meng, who had been speechless by Xie Ao before, and thought he was completely finished.
Who would have thought that in just half an hour, things would change so upside down, and Xie Ao's plan failed, didn't that mean that he Xie Meng had a chance to get ahead?
And as he spoke, the others also came back to their senses, and then shouted: "Yes, General Bao, we have been wronged." All of this was done behind our backs by Xie Ao and his sons, and we are all innocent......"
"Our Xie family has always worshiped the Buddha and worshiped the Buddha, and most of the temple property in Yunlin Temple was produced by us, so how could we do such a heartbreaking act as setting fire to the temple? Please also ask General Bao to give us a clean ......"
All the children of the Xie family kept stating their positions, trying their best to deny their relationship with this matter, and at the same time throwing all the charges on Xie Ao's father and son.
This performance only stunned the Xie Yu and Xie Kun brothers, and then there was even more anger in their hearts.
This is the so-called Xie clan?
His father tried his best to save the Xie family, and even took such a big risk. But as for them, not only do they not know how to be grateful, but now they are even more down, which is really despicable and shameless to the extreme.
It was Xie Ao, but at this time, he laughed hahaha: "Yes, I let people arrange this matter, I do things alone, and I have nothing to do with others." I will go with you to the Yamen to confess the guilt, and the other Xie family members ......"
"Presumptuous!"
Before he could finish speaking, Bao Da had already stopped talking and stopped everyone's words: "Taishou and Lord Garrison have an order, and they want to arrest all the Xie people who conspired to mess with me in Hangzhou.
"Come on, take down all these criminals, and those who dare to resist will be killed!
"Also, many things in the Xie family's house may be evidence, and they will all be brought back for careful examination!"
As soon as this order was given, the Xie people naturally wailed and complained, while the other generals were in great spirits and overjoyed after receiving the order.
The meaning of his own general is naturally that he can let them go and grab a batch of property, which is a real benefit.
At that moment, these soldiers all pounced on them like wolves, and those who took people and took people, and went to other courtyards to loot money and goods.
At this moment, the entire Xie family's mansion fell into unprecedented chaos.
Courtyards were broken into, rooms were broken down, men, women, children, servants and masters were taken out, tied with ropes, and guarded by the side.
Then a large amount of property, gold and silver jewelry and other things in the master's house were also taken out by the soldiers one by one, and they were divided in front of everyone in the Xie family.
At this time, they had completely lost the courage to argue with each other, Xie Ao looked at everything in front of him even more indifferently, and there was only one question in his heart, what went wrong and let him lose so quickly......
There is a way to break the county order, the order of the door to destroy the door, this Taishou Lord ordered to target a certain family, and its efficiency is even higher than the latter two.
Hundreds of soldiers almost turned the Xie family's mansion upside down, and then they were satisfied, escorting hundreds of Xie family's masters and servants, with countless silver coins, swaggering back to the yamen.
At this time, the city of Hangzhou was still full of laughter and laughter, and hundreds of people were living this seemingly ordinary, but in fact, deep undercurrent surging Shangyuan Festival.
Maybe only tomorrow, after the news spreads, will everyone feel a deep fear......
