The Jinwu Guards were doing their missions quite a bit. All the streets were blocked and the city gates were closed. The officials who had a little sense of smell realized something was wrong. Moreover, when the Jinwu Guards were dealing with the Xue family, the Xue family was wailing, and it was particularly clear in this quiet snowy night.

Anyway, the neighbors around the Xue family were all as quiet as quails, for fear of disturbing Zhi Jinwu, and they would break into the door. But they were also quietly paying attention to the movements of the Jinwu Guard.

"Have they withdrawn?"

"No, I think the direction they left is not going back to the office."

"They went east."

They looked at each other, their Chang'an City was noble in the east and rich in the west, and their north and south were empty. Is this still necessary to touch noble people?

Qin Family

The Qin family is also very lively. Mrs. Qin and her third sister-in-law Nie Yunniang finally learned about the death of Qin Yue and Qin Ming. The fact that Qin Yue sacrificed his life for the country has spread in the court, and it will not be concealed for long, and Qin Ming's funeral will also be handled.

Upon hearing this news, Nie Yunniang got angry and started giving birth. In fact, it was time for her to have a child. She was helped into the delivery room, and the two midwives followed her in. The maids in the yard began to get busy, and the kitchen was always ready for hot water and hot food.

The Qin family was not sleeping, so they naturally knew the movements of the Xue family.

Lu Songli knew that this was not the end, this was the beginning.

Xie Family

When Xie Zhan received the news, he was still reading a book in the study. Zhao Yutan smiled and poured tea and water to him, washed his pen and grinded ink. Under the dim candlelight, a picture of a talented man and beautiful woman adding fragrance to her red sleeves.

The two got married yesterday. It was a time when Zhao Yutan was very attached to Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan is in a good mood recently and is not disgusted.

He was still thinking about which Jinwu Guard would be next, and he heard footsteps coming to the door, followed by a panic-hearted voice, "Young Master, Jinwu Guard is coming to us!"

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

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

Xie Zhan took his confidant to the main courtyard, "Are you sure you came to our Xie family?"

"Sure."

Xie Zhan's face was solemn.

The fourth prince killed the crown prince together with ministers who wanted to seek the merits of the dragon, and the fourth prince was let go by the emperor. He did not believe that the emperor was not angry with some ministers in the original fourth prince group. Xue Huaimin was extremely guilty and others helped the evil. He did not believe that disposing of Xue Huaimin was enough to relieve him, and there must be other ministers who would bear his anger.

Logically speaking, their Xie family belonged to the Fourth Prince who later joined the disciples of their Xie family, and no matter how they did, they should not be the second Jinwu Guard to visit.

However, the Xue family is in Xicheng, and their Xie family is in Dongcheng. Now the Jinwu Guard has left the ministers and comes straight from the Xue family in the east to the Xie family in the west. From this we can see that their Xie family is hated by the emperor. This makes him wonder what something went wrong.

Unless he is exposed, it is impossible!

Xie Zhan immediately denied this speculation. When he offered advice to the Fourth Prince, he acted very carefully. He dared to say that as long as the Fourth Prince did not expose him, no one would have guessed that he would be the fourth prince's new think tank. It would definitely be exposed later, but now he is still very confident that he can hide it.

His original intention was to put the plan of killing people with a knife on the Fourth Prince. He hid behind the scenes and let the emperor see the fourth prince's strategy. But now the emperor is like this, does the emperor not believe that the plan of killing people with a knife is from the fourth prince? Then he suspected that the ministers who were seeking the dragon's merits?

No matter what, their Xie family is in trouble.

The Jinwu Guard knocked on the door, and the Xie family's doorman opened the door tremblingly.

It’s not OK to not open the door, this is a group of killing gods.

Xie Zhan smiled and stepped forward, "Commander Lin, is this?"

Lin Ran said seriously, "The emperor has an order! 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 uncle, but they were both elders of the Xie clan who combined fame and ability. Their existence played an important role in condensing the power of the entire clan.

The people from the Xie family were soon gathered in the main courtyard, and Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also invited. The former was already in their sixties and had a solemn face at this moment.

"All people are here?"

“Everything is here.”

"Then let's start!"

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

Leading by Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong, the other Xie family members knelt down Hulala.

"The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven and Imperiality said that Xie Mingtang, the Minister of Personnel, has been an official for twenty years. He has performed his duties conscientiously, restrained himself and returned to courtesy, and recommended the virtuous and capable, avoided the virtuous..."

The whole article is full of praise.

Listening to this, most of the Xie family felt relieved. It turned out that it was not an imperial edict for the crime. Just now, the Jinwu Guard came out of the Xue family and went straight to their Xie family. It was really scary for them to death.

But Xie Zhan felt the more he heard it, the more he felt that it was wrong. None of these words praising his father was in line with his father's character and ethics.

Performing his duties conscientiously? It can be considered a barely good, although his father has used his position to make profits a lot.

Restrain yourself and return to courtesy? That's not the case. His father has never been a restrained person in terms of selfish desires.

It is neither phosphorus nor black, which means that it is not thin and dyed or black. It is a metaphor for a person's qualities of loyalty, nobleness, loyalty and loyalty to his feelings, and will not change due to external influences.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Zhan understood that these praises were actually all against each other! On the surface, they were praising his father, but in fact they scolded him, scolded him for being unethical and self-binding: they were disloyal to his wife, and had two hearts to the emperor: it would be better to understand that they were able to recommend talents and avoid the way to wise men. What they mean was that their Xie family was domineering and domineering, and had been controlling the position of the Dali Temple Minister for so many years and did not interfere.

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

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

Xie Mingtang only thinks that these good words sound so harsh? Isn’t this really a satirical mockery?

Xie Zhan sighed in his heart. It seemed that the emperor had a very bad impression of their Xie family. Fortunately, the emperor was about to die and the new emperor was about to take office.

In the decree, the long praises and praises to Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan, Xie Yunsong and others were finally finished.

When Lin Ran saw the following words, he couldn't help but pause, and then continued to recite: "I am very pleased with you and three others. I specially held Jinwu to declare my order and gave me a gift to be buried with you. Now I will give you three feet of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine. I will choose one to break it by yourself and do not delay it! I thank you for your kindness!"

When the emperor said the words given to him by the emperor to accompany him to bury, the Xie family felt his ears rumbling.

Xie Mingtang: The soul is gone!

Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong were also full of horror.

This is a burial edict! Xie Zhan didn't expect the emperor to use this move, which was really unexpected!

Sheng Huaian listened to this sarcastic imperial edict without saying a word, and was amazed at the imperial edict. After reading this full of praise, he was sentenced to death. Does it sound ironic?

In a word, the emperor thinks that you are a good official position and very useful. When you get underground, you still want to continue using you.

The emperor likes your Xie family very much, so he gives you the Xie family a few burial places, which are not enough, and they must be used up. Otherwise, you will refuse to give it a try?

He was very impressed that the people who wrote the imperial edict to the emperor were also talents.

What he didn't know was these decrees. Most of the first half of the statements were handled by Lu Desheng. The part that was given to death was added by the emperor's imperial pen.

The emperor told Lu Desheng at that time that he would give some people a gift, including several of the Xie family and several who were not against him in the court.

When Lu Desheng heard this, he was full of displeasure. The Xie family hated to death, and those political enemies hated to death. It would be fine if the emperor wanted to give them a favor, but he would still have to take charge of it?

He begged the emperor at that time and did not want to do this job. The emperor refused to agree, so he had a sudden idea and had such praises that were clear and criticized.

What Lu Desheng didn't know was that after his work was completed, Emperor Kang Cheng often lay on a rocking chair, asking Wei Zili to read these decrees, and laughed so hard while listening.

"The emperor is going, civil and military generals need to open the way first! Are you unwilling to do this?" Lin Ran asked coldly as he saw the three Xie family members not making any noise.

Xie Mingtang, Xie Jingyuan and Xie Yunsong looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness. Unexpectedly, today would be their death date.

"I will obey the order!"

The Jinwu Guard was eyeing them and they could not resist, and the tribe members were watching them.

The lives of the entire clan are all dependent on their thoughts. Since they are destined to die, it is better to thank the emperor for his kindness and die generously, so that the emperor can feel more favorable to their Xie clan. It can also make the clan members recite their good deeds more, and during the New Year, there will be more sacrifices.

The most important thing is that after thanking you, you can at least leave a complete body.

The three of them chose poisoned wine at the same time.

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

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

Xie Mingtang was very scared, but he also understood that he had no choice, "A Zhan, take good care of your brothers."

The Jinwu Guards confirmed that the three of them died and left without stopping, and they had to rush to the family.

Xie Zhan was dealing with the funeral in a heavy mood. But he still kept paying attention to the movements of the Jinwu Guard. After he knew which families the Jinwu Guard had gone to, he felt relieved.

Xie Zhan did not expect that Emperor Kang Cheng would be so angry that after dealing with Xue Huaimin and others, he would have to kill so many people. Especially the two or three families they later surrendered to were all the targets that Emperor Kang Cheng took care of.

From this point of view, Xie Zhan guessed that Emperor Kang Cheng should be looking for him, that is, the person who wanted to lend a knife to the fourth prince to kill people. Obviously, Emperor Kang Cheng was sure who that person was. Therefore, the head of the family who he suspected, and the head of the family, were taken away.

Emperor Kang Cheng would probably not let him go if he wanted to kill him by mistake.

His father and two uncles were exhausted by his decision. But he did not regret that after the new emperor ascended the throne, their Xie family would 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 lot of people this time, the impact was already great. If others were added, they would force people too much, which might cause turmoil, so they gave up.

Emperor Kang Cheng did not 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 already dried up the oil lamp, so how can his body still bear such high-intensity mental activities?

"Chief, where are our next family?"

"The third one is Chengen Duke's Mansion!"

Sheng Huaian said with a hiss, Chengen Duke's Mansion, isn't that the Empress Dowager's mother's home? Is the uncle of the country? He didn't see the imperial edict, and he didn't know what the uncle had done, which made the emperor ruthlessly take him away?
