Ji Zun stood in front of the main entrance of Tian Mansion with a stern face. He said in a deep voice to the two county soldiers in front of him: "Go and call the door!"
Two county soldiers quickly climbed up the steps and came to the front door of Tian Mansion. They slapped the door panel hard and shouted at the same time: "Open the door, open the door! Open the door quickly!"
The two slapped each other for a while, and there was silence inside. The two county soldiers turned back to look at Ji Zun, who waved to them. After the two county soldiers moved away, he said in a deep voice: "Bang the door."
!”
Following his order, seven or eight county soldiers worked together to lift a thick wooden stake, walked to the gate, and hit the gate with the wooden stake.
Boom, boom, boom——
The collision between the wooden pile and the door panel caused a heavy muffled sound. In just two or three minutes, there was a crisp click, the door bolt inside the door broke, and the door opened in response.
Several county soldiers raised the wooden stakes and stepped aside, while another group of ten county soldiers rushed into the gate of Tian's Mansion with spears. As soon as they entered, they heard a series of swish, swish, and swish sounds of bow strings.
An arrow flew out from the courtyard.
The three county soldiers who were running in front fell to the ground. The seven county soldiers behind them bent their waists and crawled away. "Sir, there is resistance in Tian Mansion!"
Ji Zun looked around and shouted loudly: "If you encounter resistance, kill without mercy!" As he spoke, he took a shield from the guard on the side, and at the same time drew out the sword from his side, and took the lead in attacking Tian
When the surrounding county soldiers saw this, the county soldiers holding shields followed Ji Zun and rushed towards Tian Mansion, followed closely by the county soldiers holding spears.
Liu Xiu, who was watching, turned his head and said: "Xu Fei, Xu Ting, follow Di Sun. If there is any danger, rescue him!"
Liu Xiu didn't know what Ji Zun's abilities were, and now that he was taking the lead in person, Liu Xiu was a little worried.
Xu Ting and Xu Fei both agreed and jumped out as fast as flying.
As Ji Zun led a large group of county soldiers into Tian's mansion, Tian's mansion, which was originally deathly quiet, seemed to explode, with shouts and sounds of fighting everywhere.
Soon, county soldiers continued to lift out the injured and corpses one after another from the Tian Mansion.
Among the dead and injured were county soldiers, but most of them were people in civilian clothes. It could be seen that these people were either the subordinates of Li Wen and Jia Xuan, or the retainers, guards or servants of Tian Mansion.
There was such a big commotion in the Tian Mansion, which naturally alarmed the whole city. After hearing the news, many clan leaders rushed to the scene. Seeing the Tian Mansion full of flames and hearing the thrilling fighting inside, people's faces were filled with shock and confusion.
.
When they saw Liu Xiu standing across the street, they all ran forward and asked in a trembling voice: "Liu... General Liu, what... is this going on?"
Liu Xiu put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "The Tian family harbored Li Wen, the remnants of Jia Xuan, and the fire in the Yongcang grain store were all caused by these people!"
The heads of the gentry clan looked at each other. They did not doubt Liu Xiu's words. The Tian family did have close contacts with Li Wen and Jia Xuan, and they were also shamed by other gentry families.
It's just that the friendship between each noble family has been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone seems to be doing well on the surface.
Now that both Li Wen and Jia Xuan are dead, the Tian family still takes in their remnants, and even sets fire to the food that the Han army urgently needs. The Tian family is too courageous, isn't it because they are deliberately seeking misfortune?
The heads of the noble clans shook their heads repeatedly and sighed, but there was nothing they could do. Even if they did such a thing, they could not even plead for the Tian family.
The fighting in Tian's mansion lasted for two quarters of an hour, and then the sound of fighting gradually faded away. After another two sticks of incense, Ji Zun walked out of Tian's mansion.
When he came to Liu Xiu, he intervened and saluted, and said: "My lord, there are 115 people in the Tian family, and there are 38 people in Li Wen and Jia Xuan. Except for the deceased, the rest have been captured and brought to justice!"
Looking at the blood-stained Ji Zun on his face, Liu Xiu's eyes were bright and with concern on his face, he asked: "Is the second grandson injured?"
Ji Zun looked down at his own body, raised his hands and said, "It's all the blood of others, and my subordinates were not injured."
"Very good!" Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, looking at Ji Zun with his eyes naturally showing some appreciation. Ji Zun is a brave and resourceful all-rounder, such a talent is hard to find!
While they were talking, the county soldiers in Tian Mansion escorted out batches of captured people. The first one to be escorted out was Tian Yan, the head of the Tian family.
Tian Yan seemed to have been punched several times in the face, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. However, his body was in good condition. Apart from a few shoe marks, there were no obvious external injuries.
Seeing Tian Yan who was tied up, disheveled and in a state of embarrassment, the faces of the clan leaders present were not very good-looking. They had been friends for decades, and now that Tian Yan had ended up like this, they all felt sad.
.
When Tian Yan saw Ji Zun, his eyes immediately widened and turned red due to congestion. He roared: "Ji Zun, you villain! Mr. Li, Mr. Jia treated you very badly during his life. You dug in and out, and helped the tyranny. You
Don’t die a good death!”
Ji Zun seemed not to have heard and looked calm, while Liu Xiu frowned secretly and asked, "Di Sun, what should we do with these people?"
"Li Wen, the remnants of Jia Xuan should be cut in half. The Tian family colludes with the remnants. The crime is unforgivable. The men should be beheaded, the women should be prostitutes, and the children under the age of twelve should be given away or made into slaves." Ji Zun said every word.
said.
"Ji Di Sun, you villain, you will be punished. One day, you will die without a burial place!" Tian Yan was like crazy, jumping around and cursing.
Ji Zun still acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression was as usual, and he didn't even glance towards Tian Yan. He would not lose his temper with a dead man.
Tian Yan still yelled and cursed, but the surrounding county soldiers stopped. People raised their spears and hit Tian Yan hard with the tails of their spears.
After a while, Tian Yan's head was bleeding and he could no longer curse. Two county soldiers took his arms and dragged him away.
Those who were escorted out in the front were all men from the Tian Mansion, and those who were escorted out in the back were the female relatives of the Tian Mansion.
When a young girl was taken out of Tian's Mansion, Liu Xiu squinted her eyes and recognized her. This girl was the arrogant noble lady who took the lead in bullying He Miaoying in Li's Mansion that day.
No wonder she dared to be so arrogant and unscrupulous in the Li Mansion. She turned out to be a young lady from the Tian family.
Liu Xiu saw her, and she also saw Liu Xiu. When she first saw Liu Xiu, she just thought he looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, her eyes flashed, and she quickly stepped forward and said in surprise: "It's you? You're not Li Mansion."
...A domestic slave in the palace?"
The county soldier responsible for escorting the female family members was about to step forward and pull her away when Liu Xiu waved his hand and said to her with a smile: "I am Liu Xiu."
Liu Xiu?! He is not a domestic slave, he is the leader of the Han army who captured Xiangcheng! She was shocked, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried: "General Liu, please spare your life, please spare the slave's family..." As she spoke,
People have cried until the pear blossoms are wet with rain.
Looking at Miss Tian who was crying pitifully, it was difficult for Liu Xiu to think of the domineering lady from the gentry a few days ago. He turned to look at Ji Zun aside and asked with a smile: "Di Sun, who is this?"
?”
Ji Zun replied: "It's Tian Xiuyue, the eldest lady of the Tian family."
Liu Xiu asked: "How to deal with it?"
Ji Zun glanced at Tian Xiuyue and said: "A prostitute!" Then he added: "An official prostitute."
Tian Xiuyue trembled when she heard this, and more tears flowed from her eyes.
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Do you like Di Sun?"
Ji Zun was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He leaned over and said, "My lord, I already have a good wife at home."
After hearing this, Liu Xiu looked up, smiled, and said, "Then, leave her to me!"
"This... I'm afraid it goes against the law!"
Wang Ba rolled his eyes and said: "Since Xiangcheng has been captured by our Han army, it is natural to apply Han law. How much does Brother Sun know about Han law?"
His words really confused Ji Zun. He really didn't know what laws Liu Xuan had promulgated after he became emperor.
Seeing that Ji Zun was silent, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Then I will take her away."
Ji Zun frowned secretly, feeling quite unhappy in his heart. There is nothing wrong with men being lustful, but these are extraordinary times. If you are still greedy for women at this time, it would be too indifferent.
Tian Xiuyue, who was kneeling there, was surprised and happy. After reacting, she kowtowed to Liu Xiu. Unable to restrain her excitement, she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you General Liu, thank you General Liu for saving your life! From now on, the slave family will definitely
Serve the general with all my heart..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Liu Xiu secretly.
Liu Xiu's appearance is indeed outstanding, he is young and handsome, and he is also one of the leaders of the Han army. He is young and promising.
If she could follow him in the future, then she would be a blessing in disguise. She didn't know what Tian Xiuyue was thinking, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
Seeing the weird smile on her face, Liu Xiu was puzzled by her smile. He didn't know what the hell was going on in this girl's head. Her family was about to be beheaded and she was in trouble. How could she still be able to do it?
Can you laugh?
I didn't understand what the girl was thinking. Liu Xiu took Tian Xiuyue and went to He Mansion instead of returning to the county office. When they arrived at the gate of He Mansion, Tian Xiuyue couldn't laugh at all and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
.
When he learned that Liu Xiu had come to visit, He Lu hurriedly ran out of the house. When he saw Liu Xiu, he bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I didn't know that my lord has come to visit me. I'm a little short of coming to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, lord."
Liu Xiu waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite. He Lu straightened up, stepped aside and said, "My lord, please come to the house!"
"I'm just passing by, I won't go in." As he spoke, he waved to the side.
Xuying grabbed Tian Xiuyue's arm and pulled her over. Seeing Tian Xiuyue, He Lu couldn't help but be startled. He didn't understand what his lord meant by bringing the eldest lady of the Tian family here.
Liu Xiu said: "Tian Yan colluded with Li Wen and the remnants of Jia Xuan, and the fire in the Yongcang store was caused by them. Tian Xiuyue was originally going to act as an official prostitute, but I heard that Ling Qianjin and Tian Xiuyue were close friends, so,
I took her out and handed her over to Miss He. Whether to kill her, keep her, release her, or raise her, the He government will do whatever she wants."
He Lu had a big mouth, while Tian Xiuyue's face turned pale and her body was trembling into a ball.
Ji Zun showed a look of sudden realization, and looked at Liu Xiu with a bit of relief and a smile. The Lord was not lustful, nor did he fall in love with Tian Xiuyue, but used her as a gift.
At home, He Lu also heard that something seemed to have happened in the Tian Mansion, but because of the fire in the granary, his relationship with the nobles had been very tense recently, so he did not go to see it. Now after listening to Liu Xiu's words, he finally understood what was going on.
Already.
He turned to look at Tian Xiuyue, who looked panicked, with a hint of sinisterness flashing in his eyes.
It's not that he didn't know how Tian Xiuyue bullied and humiliated his daughter by relying on his status as a noble lady, but he had no choice. His little arms as a grain merchant couldn't twist the nobles' thighs. If he knew, he could only pretend not to know.
In front of other nobles, you have to be respectful and smile. Now that the Tian family has collapsed, Tian Xiuyue has become a down-and-out daughter, and was sent to her own home by her lord. Obviously, from now on, she can deal with this person as she pleases.
