Chapter 52: The Beginning of the Fall of the Gate Valve
"What the head of the family said is true, but who will lead the way?" Someone asked and said that after all, this is not a trivial matter, and there are huge risks and stakes involved.
"Judging from the younger generations, if it weren't for the two cousins in Shangjing City to take the lead in contacting, if I remember correctly, the two brothers are now officials in the court."
"One of them is the prince of the country and the other is the servant of the household, both of whom are extremely prominent officials and noble people, and it will be much easier to think if they go to negotiate with each family in their name."
Someone asked out loud, people like himself are all working hard in the local area, or for local officials, or for lowly businessmen, only he is in the same lineage, and he pours the strength of the whole clan to pave the way for them to enter the court as officials, so that they can rise step by step, and they can't let them take advantage of the cheap, and those things that can't be on the table are done by themselves and others.
"I don't know, what does my uncle think?"
The man continued,
There was inevitably a bit of resentment in his tone.
"You're talking about Bo'er and Xue'er?"
Xie Hengan frowned when he heard this, and his tone couldn't help but be a little colder as he spoke, you must know that when Xie Wenyuan colluded with the feudal officials.
Someone proposed to let Xie Wenxue, the second son who was on an errand in that household, participate together, but he didn't agree, and deliberately let them stay away, don't want to participate, but now someone has their idea.
"Shut up!"
"Is there a place for you to speak?"
Before Xie Hengan could speak, the clan elder with extremely high standing and gray temples reprimanded the man loudly with a cane.
"The younger generation is also for ......"
"Bang ......"
The man hadn't finished speaking,
A crutch was knocked down,
"Get on your knees!"
"You're talking half-sentences, old man, I have to tear your mouth apart!" The white-haired old man said fiercely, the latter was dizzy from being beaten with a cane, and blood flowed out of his forehead, but he still fell to his knees on the ground, not daring to question it.
"Why is it that my Xie family has gone through several dynasties of glory and disgrace, but it can still stand tall in the court and in the place, and it has not broken its foundation under all kinds of crises?"
"That is to always follow the rules set by the ancestors, no matter what kind of crisis, you can only bet separately, and now, how can you press all the chips?"
"You must know that eggs can't be put in one basket, Bo'er in Guozijian and Xue'er who is an official in the household department are the eggs that my Xie family put in another basket, and the two of them must not be involved in this matter."
"Wait, don't feel at a loss,"
"What is a clan?"
"It's a win, a loss!"
"Now put away your careful thoughts, everything must be in the interests of the family, if someone does not listen to the persuasion, the old man, I have to convene a clan meeting to remove you from the family tree!"
Although this old man rarely participates in family affairs on weekdays, he is there, and now he is even more justified and well-founded, but no one dares to refute it.
"Heng'an, you just have to let go and arrange the arrangements, as long as it is for the overall situation of my Xie family, the old man will support you, old man, I want to see if that person has the courage to disagree?"
"In this way, thank you uncle!"
Xie Hengan was relieved when he heard this, and with the support of this old guy, he was much more relaxed when he started to do things, even if he talked to everyone about the charter of the leading union.
"In that case, let's follow the rules."
"Do you have any objections?"
It wasn't until the third watch that all the articles of association were discussed.
Xie Hengan looked at the people below and asked.
"The head of the house is the decision!"
"Just from what day?"
"Well, it's getting late today, so let's do it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow at noon, each of your branches will send a suitable person to contact each family, and implement the good things discussed tonight as soon as possible, don't let that thief run rampant for too long!"
"Let's all go and rest, and recuperate." After that, Xie Hengan didn't stop and walked straight to Xie Wenyuan's mourning hall.
"You go and take your grandson to bed."
"The old man is guarding here."
Xie Hengan's eyes moved from his grandson who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall and fell to his daughter-in-law, and said in a deep voice.
"Father-in-law, I ......"
"That thief is ruthless......"
"My Orphans and Widows Are ......"
The woman saw that the head of the house had restrained her previous tough attitude, but pretended to be pitiful, and as she spoke, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she looked heartbroken.
"You can stay in my Xie family with peace of mind, the thief is ruthless, in Qinghe County, this acre of three points of land, I can't help you, even if he doesn't care about sending a large team of people to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the front foot steps on the boundary of Qinghe County, and someone will come to report the news on the back foot......"
"Your safety is naturally worry-free!"
"As for Yuan'er's affairs, you don't need to worry about it, the old man will make the decision for him, and now that the charter has been set, the thief will be rampant for a few days, and at that time, the old man will definitely personally cut off his head and use it to pay tribute to my family Yuan'er!"
Xie Hengan looked at the empty coffin, his face was gloomy, and his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, in the end, Xie Wenyuan was also his most proud son, high above the temple, holding real power.
Not surprisingly, after he retired from the position of the secretary of the military department, he was the next head of the Xie family, but now that he didn't even have a corpse, how could he calm down.
"That's exhausting."
"The daughter-in-law is a woman, so she won't ask more."
When the woman saw that her goal had been achieved, her heart was much soothed, and she looked at her son, who had been kneeling for a long time, and her lips were already white, and beckoned her to bring him a bowl of rice porridge to drink.
The rain intensified and the temperature plummeted, and the woman hesitated for a moment, but took him down to rest.
"Go down all of y'all,"
"The old man is talking to Yuan'er alone......
Xie Hengan waved his hand,
Withdrew the many subordinates who were waiting outside the mourning hall,
"Yuan'er ......"
Then he walked to the coffin with a lonely expression,
Four watches,
It was the thickest night, and with the rain as the company, it was the time when ordinary people slept the deepest.
"Is this the Xie family of Qinghe County?"
A green dragon wearing a hat, dressed in black, and carrying a wooden box, had already appeared on the hill not far away, looking at the huge mansion a little distracted.
In the years when Jinyiwei was lonely, he didn't say that he wanted to attack the children of the clan, the protégés, and the family lords all over the world, even ordinary officials could not be provoked, which can be described as extremely lowly.
Now that he was indeed ordered to come and slaughter the entire clan, you must know that even when the Great Departure Dynasty was founded, it was only suppressed and cut off the power of the gate valve, but it was never said that it was to be easily destroyed.
Today's move can be regarded as the first time.
"Lord Qinglong."
"Is this really possible?"
The saucer on the side asked in a low voice, although a small number of people went straight to the lair, Xie Fu was unexpected, and he was not prepared, but it was not as good as Shangjing, and there were many dead soldiers living in the mansion on weekdays, and it was definitely not easy to get along.
If there is a slight delay, give him time for the Xie family to react, gather people and horses, and fight to the death, that is, pack up the two or three thousand brocade guards in various states and counties outside the capital and throw them here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death.
"Where is the saying of success and failure?"
"Mission done,"
"It is the only mission and dignity of my Jinyiwei."
Qinglong said indifferently.
"Without dignity, what is the difference between death and death?"
"But Lord Qinglong, now my Jinyi Wei has ......"
The saucer remembered what the new commander had done, and subconsciously straightened his back.
Qinglong didn't answer, but looked at the direction of Shangjing from afar, patted the Ming Fourteen in his hand, and said, "Wait, wait outside, if the task is completed, a few thieves will take advantage of the chaos to escape, and they will be killed on the spot."
"If the mission is not completed,"
"This official will be benevolent!"
Qinglong said,
Then he walked away into the rain alone,
Coming, there is still a word that has not been spoken,
That is,
Dignity is not given by others, it is earned by oneself!
Everyone looked at his back and was silent for a long time, it was a kind of indifference that went deep into the bone marrow, colder than the raindrops of this late autumn.
Maybe he killed too much, the murderous aura on his body had overflowed, and while walking, even the torrential rain paused, maybe killing was not his choice, but a way to complete the task and achieve the goal.
Closer,
The huge mansion was like a giant beast hidden in the dark night to choose people to eat, trying to devour the thin figure in the rainy night, but his pace did not stop for half a minute.
Because
Jinyiwei is a road with no advance or retreat,
This,
He understands better than anyone else.
