Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Two of them ran away just now. Brother Xiao remember to send someone to catch them back."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I understand."
Xu Qing took Long Bing'er back to Youranju under the protection of several shadow guards, and all the Huang family, Liu family, and Duan family in Yi County were escorted to the county government by the shadow guards.
In less than an hour, the Huang family went from being a powerful and domineering party to being prisoners who committed treason.
However, no one lamented this situation. Instead, they clapped their hands and cheered, running around telling each other.
The Huang family fell, and the invisible mountain pressing on them suddenly collapsed.
The heavy rent imposed on tens of thousands of farmers in the south of Fengzhou also disappeared without a trace.
I'm afraid most of the people in Yixian County won't be able to sleep tonight.
…
The streets of the capital city were already filled with a sense of murder.
Teams of shadow guards escorted the prisoners towards the Yixian County Government step by step, armor plates clanking, and the originally bustling night market was silent when the shadow guards passed by, not daring to take a breath.
It wasn't until the last shadow guard passed by that everyone dared to speak in a low voice, but they still couldn't hide their joy when they saw the Huang family being escorted.
The Huang family was arrested!
Yixian County Government
Magistrate Wang, who had offended a nobleman and even had his future in jeopardy, was still drinking in the back office. But while he was drinking, he suddenly heard the officer beside him saying that the Huang family had been arrested by soldiers and were heading to the county office.
The wine in Magistrate Wang's hand spilled out and soaked his clothes.
Although Magistrate Wang was greatly frightened, he did not dare to neglect at all. He quickly put on his official uniform and walked quickly to the gate of the county government office to prepare to welcome him.
At this time, Magistrate Wang could already see the rows of Xuanjia Shadow Guards approaching and the Huang family they were escorting.
And walking at the front of the shadow guard was the young man who beat all the government officials that day and was called a nobleman by the third master of the Huang family.
Xiao Ye looked at the shadow guard on the side and said: "Take all these prisoners to the prison. After all the prisoners are arrested, they will be escorted to the state prison and transferred to Beijing."
The shadow guard on the side cupped his hands and said: "Yes."
The shadow guards escorted the Huang family members to the county prison. At this moment, County Magistrate Wang was stunned. He could actually mobilize elite soldiers to accompany him...
But, when did Yi County recruit so many elite soldiers? Why didn't he, the county magistrate, receive any news?
The shadow guard behind Xiao Ye looked at Magistrate Wang who was wearing official uniform but did not move at all and said sternly: "How brave! Why don't you be polite when you see His Royal Highness?!"
"His...His Royal Highness..." County Magistrate Wang couldn't help but feel weak in his legs when he looked at Xiao Ye.
According to common sense, Fengzhou only has one crown prince, Prince Cheng.
However, at this time, another heir apparent appeared...
Although Magistrate Wang is located in the south of Fengzhou, he still knows a little bit about the news in the north of Fengzhou.
Prince Xian and Prince Anding led the imperial army to suppress the rebellion on Funiu Mountain.
The only prince who has the ability to mobilize armor soldiers is the wise prince who came to suppress the bandits, and now, the wise prince is standing in front of him...
Who is the wise king? A man in power in Chu!
This is not a secret in Chu State.
The Prince Xian is equivalent to the Prince of Chu!
And two days ago, he actually ordered someone to arrest the Crown Prince of Da Chu...
Now it's all over...
Xiao Ye looked at Magistrate Wang, whose face was getting more frightened, and said, "We meet again."
Magistrate Wang's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "Xiaguan...Xiaoguan has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xiao Ye looked at Magistrate Wang kneeling in front of him and frowned: "I don't have an imperial edict on me, why are you kneeling on me?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ye seemed to remember something and said casually: "But it doesn't matter. I will tell the emperor another day. Magistrate Wang should receive the imperial edict soon."
Magistrate Wang was horrified. He would soon receive the imperial edict, but what he received was definitely not the edict he wanted...
County Magistrate Wang quickly kowtowed to Xiao Ye and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, have mercy, Your Highness, Your Highness, have mercy!"
Xiao Ye looked at Magistrate Wang and sneered: "You have been helping the tyrants and oppressing the people in Yixian County for many years. In the fish and meat village, you should be thankful that I didn't take you down now. How can you beg me for mercy?"
Although Xiao Ye is the virtuous prince, he still does not have the power to punish the court officials at will.
Of course, even if Xiao Ye really takes down the magistrate of Yi County now, no one will say anything, not even the wise king will care too much.
A mere county magistrate and a seventh-rank official can handle it.
But, Xu Qing taught him that there must be laws to follow, and there must be laws to follow.
Xiao Ye felt that it was still necessary to follow the formal process.
What the court officials should do must be in accordance with the court rules. It is not good to do things beyond their authority.
…
Youranju
When Xu Qing asked the shopkeeper Youranju to borrow the kitchen, the shopkeeper Youranju initially refused, because logically only his own people could enter the kitchen.
But when he thought about Xu Qing's identity, which even the Huang family had to give in to, and the few soldiers behind him who were wearing strong and sharp swords, he instantly put on a smile: "Of course it's okay in the kitchen, noble man, please follow the villain's instructions
Come here, the vegetables in the kitchen are all available, you can use them as you please."
As soon as the shopkeeper Youranju brought Xu Qing into the kitchen and came out, he heard the news that all the Huang family had been put into prison by the Xuanjia elite soldiers. The shopkeeper looked at the Xuanjia elite soldiers standing at the door, and then looked at the direction of the kitchen...
This noble man did what happened to the Huang family?!
Even the Huang family can be arrested at will, and he can also mobilize soldiers. What kind of status does this noble man have?
Fortunately, I didn't neglect your noble lord...
…
The day after they captured the Huang family, Xiao Ye and Xu Qing each took their shadow guards to capture the Liu family and the Duan family in the other two counties.
It is much easier to arrest these two families than the Huang family. Because of their marriage to the Huang family, they have already had an inseparable blood relationship with the Huang family. Naturally, among the nine clans of the Huang family, the Shadow Guard does not need to say anything to them.
If so, they were immediately captured and transported to the prefecture city.
Three families were exterminated, and their property, shop, gold, silver, money, and other belongings were naturally confiscated by the government. The wise king who was already wealthy suddenly became richer again.
The richer the wise king is, the more confident he will be. The more confident he is, the more confident he can be in raiding his house, and then he will be richer.
This is a virtuous cycle that only targets the wise king himself.
Anding Bofu
in the bedroom
Su Qian was sitting at the table painting at this time, and Xuan'er was polishing Su Qian's ink at the side.
The person in Su Qian's painting is Xu Qing, who went to Fengzhou to suppress bandits a month ago.
After starting from Xu Qing, she would draw a portrait of Xu Qing from memory every day. After finishing the painting, she would stare at the portrait with a self-conscious smile for a long time.
Xuan'er also followed Su Qian for a long time.
Just when Su Qian was about to write, Xiao Ruxue ran in with a letter in her hand: "Sister Su, Sister Su, Xu Qing has written again!"
Su Qian was only halfway through the painting at this time, so naturally she couldn't stop. While tracing the facial features of the person in the painting, she said, "What did your husband say? Xue'er and I should think about it."
Xiao Ruxue looked at the words "My wife's signature" on the envelope, her face turned red, and she opened the letter carefully.
With a little bit of trepidation and a little bit of joy...
