Chapter 10: The Only Answer!
At this moment, these two families have been surrounded by the three layers of Jinyi Weili and the outer three layers.
All the relatives of the two families were evicted and stood in front of their respective doors.
"The grass people He family and the grass people Shen family visit Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The moment Xu Jing lifted the curtain of the chariot, more than 40 people knelt down at almost the same time, and the sound was like a mountain and a tsunami.
Xu Jing looked coldly at the two kneeling in front and said coldly: "You two, isn't one bedridden and the other dead?" ”
The head of the Shen family and the head of the He family were on their backs, sweating like rain.
"Grass Folk ........"
The two of them just wanted to open their mouths to explain, but Xu Jing interrupted them again.
"According to the Great Qianlu, non-scholars are not allowed to stay on Changlin Street and are not allowed to wear fancy clothes, so the two of you regard the Daqianlu as nothing?"
As Xu Jing spoke, hundreds of brocade guards drew their swords out of their sheaths almost at the same time, and hundreds of cold rays turned into a forest chill in the soft moonlight.
It seems that as long as Xu Jing is dissatisfied with the answers of the two, these hundreds of chills will become a life-seeking blade!
Under the murderous intent, Shen He and the two family heads were already frightened.
The reason why the two of them did not go to the banquet was completely due to the will of the Xiao family, and the two of them did not want to be caught in the treacherous power struggle in the court.
But reality has to make them bow their heads, and between the imperial power and the Xiao family, they can only choose the powerful Xiao family.
As for moving into Changlin Street, there was indeed such a provision when the Great Cadres opened the country 300 years ago.
But today, there are far more than two merchant families living here, and that rule has long been broken.
It's just that now, being questioned by Xu Jing like this, they are also helpless.
It is the new emperor of the dynasty who is the creator of all the rules, and his right is the only answer!
"These houses are all borrowed by friends, and the grass people will move out of Changlin Street......."
Shen He and the others glanced at each other and replied in unison.
"I don't plan to listen to your quibbles, since I have violated the law of the country, I will be punished."
Xu Jing waved his hand and was not interested in this, and waved his hand to signal that Jin Yiwei could do it.
Hearing this, several brocade guards had already surrounded them.
Everyone in the Shen family and the He family had a big change in their faces, and there was a lot of commotion.
"Your Majesty! Please be gracious! ”
Where has the head of the Shen family and the He family seen such a battle, they have never been the only ones who bully men and women, and they never thought that they would also become other people's swordsmen, but they were fish and meat on the board, and they were so frightened that they trembled and became incontinent.
"Your Majesty, the He and Shen families are both law-abiding and law-abiding businessmen, you can't behead them if you disagree!"
"You must know that this place is the capital, so you are not afraid that wanton killing people will cause panic among the people behind you?"
At this moment, a young man in a Tsing Yi with a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a scholarly appearance strode out and shouted at Xu Jing.
"Oh? Do you think I'm wrong? ”
Xu Jing looked at the scholar with a playful look on his face, and sneered.
The scholar was full of ambition, knelt down not far from Xu Jing and said loudly: "Your Majesty is naturally not wrong, but you shouldn't be so murderous!" ”
"I'm thirsty for killing? Grandpa Cao, read it out. ”
What Xu Jing wants is for someone to stop him, and what he wants is to behead this group of lawless people in a dignified and upright manner!
When Gonggong Cao got the will, he immediately took out a pamphlet and shouted: "On July 14, the He family killed ten tenants for food, and on September 5, the head of the He family robbed the people and killed a family of four, and in three years, the He family resold 130,000 military horses and colluded with the Xiongnu to cause 31,000 people to die in the war..........
"In May of the same year, the Shen family colluded with three counties under the jurisdiction of Henan Province to resell 3,000 stone of grain, causing 8,000 victims to starve all over the land........"
The string of charges came out of the mouth of Gonggong Cao, and the He family and the Shen family, who were originally in turmoil, fell into a dead silence.
The eyes of the people who watched the two families not far away also turned from sympathy and pity to resentment.
"Collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, collude with officials, and wantonly kill people. Which of these things is not a capital crime? ”
"Now that the Yellow River has burst its banks, people are all over the place, but you are reselling the relief grain, isn't it a capital crime?"
"You are waiting to bully the people, but you dare to call yourself the people when you are dying? You ask Li Min behind you, are you a sin that deserves death? ”
Xu Jing spoke coldly, and his voice was as loud as a god.
"Your Majesty is wise, such sinners deserve death!"
The people behind him who had never been bullied by high-ranking officials, and now looking at Xu Jing, the new emperor, seeking justice for them, there was blood surging in their hearts, and they shouted one after another.
The countless shouts were like Dao Dao, and the sharp sword pierced the hearts of everyone in the He family and the Shen family.
At this moment, they know that they are finished! After today, the Shen family and the He family will no longer exist!
"Spread my will, the He family's Shen family collaborated with the enemy and treason, wantonly killed people, and resold food for several crimes, and the crime is unforgivable. The nine clans were sentenced, and all the family property was confiscated as disaster relief money! ”
Xu Jing opened his mouth coldly and shouted loudly.
Everyone in the He family and the Shen family sat on the ground in front of them, looking sluggish.
"And you, if you dare to defy the imperial power and collude with sinners, you deserve to be beheaded!"
The scholar had planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jing didn't plan to let him go at all, and he also wanted to let him die here!
"I'm the nephew of the prime minister today, you can't kill me!"
The scholar's eyes were round, and he didn't expect Xu Jing to even let him go, so he shouted again and again.
"Prime Minister's nephew? Xiao Daoling is no more than a courtier in front of me, and he also has to kneel three times and bow nine times, and even a grass citizen dares to defy the imperial power? ”
Xu Jing sneered.
Several brocade guards held down the scholar and wanted to drag him back to the edict.
The Liu family and the Huang family, who had been following Xu Jing's side, were already sweating profusely, and they were so glad that they had made their choice.
Although obedience to the new emperor will consume most of the wealth accumulated in a hundred years, as long as the family can be saved, it is a great luck.
Not to mention, such a majestic monarch can have a good relationship with him, and pairing is a good deal.
But Lin Hai on one side was full of sadness.
Xu Jing's killing like this has indeed solved a lot of troubles, but the world's major events can never be solved with a single killing word, and now that the Xiao family has been moved, the next prime minister's counterattack is absolutely terrifying!
"Go back to the palace!"
After settling the two, Xu Jing motioned for the chariot to turn around.
Along the way, the people were willing to kneel, their faces full of joy.
There are even several elderly people who are over the age of pestle looking at Xu Jing's chariot and shouting: "It is my great luck to have an emperor like this!" It is the luck of the people of the dawn! May Your Majesty be blessed and live a long life! ”
For a while, passing along the street, hundreds of people spontaneously walked out, knelt on the ground and shouted: "May Your Majesty be blessed with heaven and live a long life!" ”
At just this moment, Xu Jing's popularity has far surpassed that of the first emperor!
"Your Majesty, we are willing to hand over our entire wealth to Your Majesty, and I am only willing to exchange you for a promise!"
Back in the East Palace, the Liu family and the Huang family knelt down and said in unison.
"Promise?"
Xu Jing didn't agree to the two, but only looked at the two with a playful smile.
Xu Jing knew in advance that the Liu and Huang families were not ordinary businessmen.
It is a wealthy family that has lasted for seven generations, and its heritage is all over the country.
Compared with these two, the He and Shen families are just a temporary yellow flower.
