Those people who had some ghosts in their hearts were all trembling with fear, fearing that their family would be in trouble at the next moment. As a result, every household went out of business early, closed its doors, and stayed behind closed doors.
At this time, the street, which should have been lively, except for the officers and soldiers, seemed to be very cold and deserted due to the cold wind. However, there were many people secretly inquiring, wanting to know what was going on.
at the same time.
The gate of Chen Mansion was surrounded by countless officers and soldiers, led by the magistrate of Xuanyang County. At this time, he was commanding the soldiers to arrest people.
Originally, Liu Tong was preparing to have dinner.
After a day of exhaustion, he sat down and before he could warm his buttocks, a pile of incriminating evidence was thrown in front of him. In addition, it also came with the emperor's imperial edict to confiscate the family. He just took a quick look and knew that the death of the Chen family was not unjust.
.
honestly.
Liu Tong is the newly appointed county magistrate. He has always been cautious about his career. Although he has not made many political achievements, he has never made any mistakes. Even he did not expect that under his nose, there are such scourges as the Chen family. It is just right.
Being caught by His Majesty who was passing by was a dereliction of duty on his part.
I don't know if I can keep the black gauze hat on my head after this time. No, after receiving the order, I didn't even eat dinner, so I hurried over to do things.
I just hope that your majesty can take into account that he has hard work despite no merit and not to be angry with him.
When he saw the content of the imperial edict, his feet were weak.
Kill the nine tribes.
Their emperor is a wise monarch.
Since ascending the throne, I have never seen His Majesty become so angry. Not to mention the Nine Clans, even if the homes were ransacked, only the people involved were beheaded, and the others were basically exiled. But this time, the Nine Clans were directly killed. This
This is the first time that the emperor has killed nine people since he ascended the throne.
Tomorrow, the streets in Xuanyang County will probably be dyed red.
Although he is also an official, just thinking about it makes his back feel cold and he is very scared. It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This was the first time Liu Tong realized it deeply.
Just as his thoughts were wandering, Liu Tong heard a disdainful voice in his ears.
"Whoever, who doesn't have eyesight, dares to come to my house and act wild? Believe it or not, I will kill him."
I heard a servant coming to report that someone had broken in. The eldest young master of the Chen family, who had not yet woken up, left his concubine and came over without waiting for the servant to finish. No, he didn't see the person clearly and started to succeed.
prestige.
Upon hearing his words, the county magistrate's face turned dark instantly.
"Being presumptuous and insulting the imperial officials will be punished with an additional penalty."
"Come here, let me arrest you."
"Yes, sir."
After seeing clearly the officers and soldiers standing in the yard, the eldest young master of the Chen family suddenly woke up.
this……
How is this going.
Seeing those officers and soldiers, and Magistrate Liu standing in the yard, Chen Youqian felt bad.
"This, this sir."
"Isn't this, there may be some misunderstanding. You see, my cousin is a person close to Prince Pingyuan. You see, he is a member of his family. If there is any misunderstanding, I will go to the Lord's house to apologize to you someday..."
The implication is obvious.
Before he could finish speaking, Magistrate Liu's expression changed.
This bastard wants to hurt me.
"Whoever is one of your own family is talking nonsense. Come on, please shut up his mouth."
Fortunately, he really had nothing to do with the Chen family. Otherwise, if this were to reach the ears of the emperor, he would not be able to cut off his head even if he had a few heads.
"Let go..."
soon.
In less than a moment, the entire Chen Mansion was pressed into the courtyard by officers and soldiers.
The person in charge was Chen Wei, the owner of the Chen Family Trading Company and one of the wealthy businessmen in Xuanyang County. And he was the last one to be arrested.
"Master, save me."
"Dad, dad."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master, what on earth is going on?"
"Dad, it hurts."
At this time, there was a lot of crying in the yard.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Chen Wei, who was in his fifties, was thrown directly in front of Magistrate Liu by two officers and soldiers.
Standing up from the ground, Chen Mo looked at the officers and soldiers standing in the yard, as well as his family members, and his heart suddenly went cold.
It's over.
The things he had done in private must have been exposed. Just looking at Magistrate Liu standing in front of him, Chen Wei still held a trace of luck in his heart.
"Master Liu, look, is there some misunderstanding?"
Before he could continue to speak, Magistrate Liu sneered.
"Misunderstanding, you don't know what you did. Chen Mo, I didn't expect that on the surface, your Chen family business is doing serious business, but the things you did behind the scenes are simply outrageous. This time you died unjustly
.”
Chen Mo took a step back.
Sure enough, I got it.
"Sir, the common people confessed, but these things were all done by the common people themselves, and my family members had no knowledge of it."
There was no trace of luck in his heart. Chen Wei knelt down and confessed his crime, asking for leniency.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, County Magistrate Liu took out the imperial edict directly from his arms.
"By God's decree, the emperor issued an edict that the Chen Family Trading Company has been secretly selling women from good families in recent years, at the expense of human lives. It has been tax evasion, collusion with the party, and privately manufacturing weapons with the intention of rebellion. It is an unpardonable crime. Search all properties under the Chen Family Trading Company, within the nine clans.
, all the men were beheaded in public display, and the women were kept as slaves for generations.”
"Everyone who comes, take them away with me."
Kill the nine tribes.
After Mrs. Chen reacted, she fainted immediately, followed by the concubines who collapsed on the ground.
"Help."
"We don't want to die."
"It's unfair. It was all done by my father and has nothing to do with us."
"grown ups……"
"I'll take away whatever you're noisy about."
Seeing himself being arrested, Chen Wei shook his head in hindsight this time.
"No……"
"No, there isn't."
He has indeed taken many lives on his hands and caused many families to be separated. In the past few years, he has made a lot of dirty money, selling women from good families privately to make weapons privately, and colluding with the rebel party with the intention of rebelling.
Even if you give him ten courages, he would not dare to make weapons privately and rebel. This is to kill the nine tribes.
"Sir, this is unjust..."
"take away……"
"Report..."
At this moment, several officers and soldiers came over carrying several boxes.
"Sir, we found several boxes of fine weapons from the cellar."
When Chen Wei heard this, he collapsed to the ground, "This, this is impossible."
Who wants to harm him?
Magistrate Liu kicked him and said, "You still dare to shout that you are wronged. Anyone who comes will be taken away by me."
Magistrate Liu and his wife have a deep love as husband and wife, and they don’t even have any concubines in the family. It is very unwelcome to see this evil man who makes evil money in private, causing wives to be separated and families to be destroyed. In the past few years,
, this Chen family secretly trafficked hundreds of virtuous girls. They killed countless people, and these alone are capital crimes.
Now, with the evidence in front of us, we are still quibbling.
Since the emperor has punished your nine clans, how can he still unjustly accuse you?
Seeing that you are urging me every day, I will update two more chapters tomorrow. I will work overtime tonight to code and vote. Again, if you like it, read it, if you don’t like it, don’t force it. I can’t guarantee that everyone will like it, but I will try my best to write this well.
Story. In addition, the male protagonist's name is Zhao Chengji, whose alias is Yuanzhi. So far, the female protagonist only knows the male protagonist's alias, so it is Zhao Yuanzhi. If you don't understand, you must have skipped the chapter.
