The movement of the Jin Wuwei guards on their mission was not small, all the street entrances were blocked, the gates of the four sides were also closed, and the officials and eunuchs who had a little sense of smell realized that something was wrong. Moreover, when Jin Wuwei was dealing with the Xue family, the Xue family wailed, which was particularly clear in this silent snowy night.

Anyway, the neighbors around Xue's house are all as quiet as quails, so they are afraid that if they disturb Zhi Jinwu, they will break in. But they are also quietly watching Jin Wuwei's movements.

"Did they call it up?"

"No, I don't think they're leaving in the direction of going back to the office."

"They went east."

One by one, they looked at each other, they were rich in the east and rich in the west, and the north was real and the south was empty. Is this still going to move nobles?

The Qin family

The Qin family is also very lively, Mrs. Qin and the third sister-in-law Nie Yunniang finally knew about the death of Qin Yue and Qin Ming, and the matter of Qin Yue's sacrifice for the country has spread in the court, and it will not be hidden for long, and Qin Ming's funeral will also be handled.

Hearing the news, Nie Yunniang directly moved the fetal gas, and then started to give birth. In fact, she should have come to the day of her birth. She was helped into the delivery room, and the two midwives followed, and the maids in the yard began to get busy, and the kitchen was always ready with hot water.

The Qin family didn't sleep, and they naturally knew about the movements of the Xue family.

Lu Songli knows that this is not the end, this is the beginning.

Xie family

When Xie Zhan received the news, he was still reading in the study, and Zhao Yutan was smiling and pouring tea and water for him, washing his pen and grinding ink. Under the dim candlelight, a picture of talented and beautiful women with red sleeves and fragrance.

The two got married yesterday, just when they were like glue, Zhao Yutan was very sticky to Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan has been in a good mood recently, and he is not disgusted.

He was still thinking about which one Jin Wuwei would be next, when he heard a sound of footsteps coming to the door, followed by a panicked voice of his henchmen, "Shao-young master, Jin Wuwei is coming to our side!" ”

When Xie Zhan heard this, he pushed Zhao Yutan away slightly and walked out, "I'll take a look!" ”

Zhao Yutan chased him out, but found that he had already left.

Xie Zhan walked towards the main courtyard with his henchmen, "Are you sure you're coming from our Xie family?" ”

"Sure."

Xie Zhan's face was solemn.

The four princes killed the crown prince together with those ministers who wanted to make a fortune from the dragon, and the four princes were let go by the emperor. He didn't believe that the emperor was not resentful of some of the ministers of the original Four Princes' group, Xue Huaimin was extremely evil, and others aided in the abuse. He didn't believe that disposing of one Xue Huaimin was enough to dissipate his anger, and there must be other ministers who would bear his wrath.

It stands to reason that their Xie family belonged to the Four Princes later, and their Xie family should not be the second target of Jin Wuwei's visit.

However, the Xue family is in Xicheng, and their Xie family is in Dongcheng. Now Jin Wuwei left those ministers alone, and went straight to their Xie family from the Xue family in the east to the west, which shows that their Xie family is very hated by the emperor. This had to make him wonder what was wrong.

Unless he is exposed, it can't be!

Xie Zhan immediately denied this speculation, he was very careful when he first offered his advice to the Four Princes, he dared to say that as long as the Four Princes did not expose him, no one would guess that he would be the new think tank of the Four Princes. It will definitely be exposed later, but now he is still very confident that he can hide it.

He originally wanted to put the plan of killing people with a knife on the four princes, he hid behind the scenes, so that the emperor could see the strategy of the four princes, but now that the emperor is like this, doesn't the emperor believe that the plan to kill people with a knife is from the hands of the four princes? And then suspect that these ministers who are plotting to get the work of the dragon are coming?

Anyway, they are in trouble.

Jin Wuwei knocked on the door, and the concierge of the Xie family opened the door tremblingly.

If you don't open the door, you can't do it, this is a group of killing gods.

Xie Zhan stepped forward with a smile, "Commander Lin, this is?" ”

Lin Ran said with a serious face, "The emperor has an edict!" By the way, you go and invite Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong together. ”

When Xie Zhan heard this, his heart sank, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were his uncle and grandfather, and the other was an uncle, but they were both elders of the Xie clan who combined fame and ability. Their presence plays an important role in uniting the strength of the whole clan.

The people of the Xie family were quickly gathered in the main courtyard, and Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also invited, the former was already in his sixties, and his face was full of solemnity at the moment.

"Everyone's here?"

"It's all here."

"Let's get started!"

"The emperor's decree, Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, and Xie Yunsong kneel to receive it!"

Led by Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, and Xie Yunsong, the rest of the Xie family members all knelt down.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, Xie Mingtang, the secretary of the ministry, has been an official for 20 years, and he has fulfilled his duties, repented of himself, not phosphorus and restraint, recommended the virtuous and the able, and avoided the ...... of the virtuous road"

It's full of beautiful words.

Hearing this, most of the Xie family members breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it turned out that it was not a holy decree to reduce sin. When Jin Wuwei came out of Xue's house just now, he went straight to their Xie family, which really scared them to death.

But the more Xie Zhan listened, the more he felt that it was wrong, none of these words praising his father were worthy of his father's conduct.

Dedication? can barely be counted, although his father has not used his position to make profits.

Self-denial? That's no, his father has never been a restrained person in his selfish desires.

It refers to the fact that it is not thinly dyed and not black, which is a metaphor for a person's quality of being loyal to his feelings, which will not change due to external influences.

After only thinking about it for a while, Xie Zhan understood that these beautiful words were actually all opposite! On the surface, he praised his father, but in fact he scolded him, scolded him for his lack of virtue and integrity, and had poor self-restraint: he was unfaithful to his wife, and he had two hearts for the king: it is better to understand the ability to recommend the virtuous and avoid the virtuous road, which is what they say about the tyranny and domineering of their Xie family, and they have held the position of Dali Siqing for so many years and did not let people interfere.

Thinking about this, Xie Zhan's heart became heavier and heavier.

Looking at his father again, his face was blue and white.

Xie Mingtang only felt that these good words sounded so harsh? Isn't that really a sarcasm for him?

Xie Zhan sighed in his heart, it seems that the emperor's impression of their Xie family is indeed very bad. Fortunately, the emperor is about to die, and the new emperor is about to ascend the throne.

In the edict, the long words of praise for Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, Xie Yunsong and others were finally read.

When Lin Ran saw the following words, he couldn't help but pause, and then continued to read: "You and the other three, I am very pleased, and I specially execute Jinwu to declare my decree and give a gift to accompany the funeral. Now give Bai Aya three feet and a glass of poisonous wine, choose one to cut off by yourself, and there is no delay! Thank you! ”

Later, as soon as the words of the emperor's order to accompany the funeral came out, the Xie family only felt that their ears were rumbling.

Xie Mingtang: The soul is gone!

Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also shocked.

This is a funeral edict! Xie Zhan didn't expect the emperor to come to this trick, it was really unexpected!

Sheng Huai'an listened to this yin and yang weird decree word for word, and was also amazed by this edict. After reading this full of praise, it is a death, which sounds ironic, right?

In a word, the emperor thinks that you are a very good official and very useful, and when you go underground, he still wants to continue to use you.

The emperor likes your Xie family very much, so he gave you a few places for the Xie family to accompany the funeral, not the kind that can't be used, and it must be used up. Or would you refuse to give it a try?

He admired it very much in his heart, and the person who wrote the edict to the emperor was also a talent.

What he didn't know was these edicts, and most of the first half of the rhetoric was written by Lu Desheng. The part that gives death is added by the emperor's imperial pen.

The emperor told Lu Desheng at that time that he would give grace to some people, including several members of the Xie family and a few people who did not deal with him in the court.

Lu Desheng was full of reluctance when he heard this, the Xie family hated it to death, and those political enemies also hated it to death. If the emperor wants to entitle them, he will do it?

He begged the emperor at that time, and he didn't want to do this work. The emperor didn't agree, so he had an idea, and he had such a clear compliment.

What Lu Desheng didn't know was that after he finished this work, Emperor Kang Cheng often lay on the rocking chair and asked Wei Zili to read these edicts, laughing while listening.

"The emperor will be able to do it, and the military generals need to open the way first! Do you want to? Lin Ran saw that the three members of the Xie family did not move, and asked coldly.

Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong glanced at each other, their eyes were full of bitterness, they didn't expect that today would be their death date.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Jin Wuwei was eyeing them, and they couldn't resist anymore, and the clansmen were watching them.

The lives of the whole clan are tied to their thoughts, since they are destined to die, it is better to thank the emperor for his grace and die generously, which can also make the emperor have a little more good impression of their Xie family. It can also make the clansmen remember their good more, and during the New Year's Festival, there will be more sacrifices.

The most important thing is that after thanksgiving, I can finally leave a whole corpse.

All three of them invariably chose poisoned wine.

Before Xie Jingyuan drank, he said to Xie Zhan, "The Xie family will be handed over to you, and my uncle is gone." Then he drank it all.

Xie Yunsong also picked up the poisonous wine and gestured to him, then raised his head and drank it all, everything was silent.

Xie Mingtang was scared, but he also understood that he had no choice, "Ah Zhan, take care of your younger brothers." ”

Jin Wuwei was sure that as soon as the three of them died, they left without stopping, and they had to rush to one house.

Xie Zhan dealt with the aftermath with a heavy heart. But he still kept people paying attention to Jin Wuwei's movements, and when he later learned which houses Jin Wuwei went to, he was relieved.

Xie Zhan didn't expect that Emperor Kang Cheng would be so angry that he would kill so many people after disposing of Xue Huaimin and others. Especially the two or three families that they took refuge in later, they were all taken care of by Emperor Kangcheng.

From this point of view, Xie Zhan guessed that Emperor Kang Cheng should be looking for him, that is, the person who lent the idea of killing people with a knife to the fourth prince. Obviously, Emperor Kang Cheng was not sure who the man was. Therefore, those who were suspected by him, the head of the house, and the head of the house, were taken away.

Emperor Kang Cheng probably wanted to kill by mistake and would not let it go.

His father and two uncles were burdened by his decision. But he doesn't regret it, after the new emperor ascends the throne, their Xie family will go further, and even become the largest family in Dali!

Xie Zhan didn't know that Emperor Kang Cheng originally wanted to uproot their Xie family, but considering that he killed a bit more people this time, the impact was already great. If you add anything else, you will push people too far, and it may cause turmoil, so you will give up.

Emperor Kang Cheng didn't expect that because of his own thoughts, he let go of the big fish he had been looking for.

In fact, it is understandable that after all, he has run out of oil and dried up, where can his body withstand such high-intensity mental activities?

"Chief, where are we going next?"

"Third place, Cheng'en Mansion!"

Sheng Huai'an hissed, Cheng'en Mansion, isn't that the Queen Mother's maiden family? Uncle Guo? didn't see the edict, and he didn't know what this uncle had done to make the emperor ruthlessly want to take him away?
