All the members of the Yun family walked into the prison on their own, without struggling, without crying, or even crying.
The remains of the ancestors of the Yun family were placed in the black coffin in the Yun family ancestral hall. Zhang Tianhai and his men ransacked the Yun family and did not dare to touch her coffin.
But rumors in Beijing that Zhang Tianhai forced the ancestors of the Yun family to death were already flying everywhere.
Although the Yun family's mansion was so large, they didn't find much of the family's property after they searched it. Instead, they found a lot of letters that were in collaboration with the enemy.
These letters can be used as evidence, but this evidence is too easy to come by. Would a person who is a true collaborator with the enemy put such important things in his house so that you can search them at will?
It was precisely because of these letters that came so easily, the death of the ancestor of the Yun family, and the rumors that spread all over the sky that someone in the court finally couldn't sit still and came out to speak justice to the Yun family.
Xiao Wei and the Song family had formed a relationship many years ago, and the Yun family was Mrs. Song's natal family. The task of arresting people and confiscating their homes was assigned to Xiao Wei. With so many things happening, it might be a sign of revenge.
inside.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is nonsense to accuse the Yun family of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the court. But now the court is in turmoil, the prince has not been decided, and Emperor Chengxing is a useless person. Most of the civil and military officials have already stood up, and the remaining ones who have not
Those who stood in line did so for self-protection. Very few people could come forward and say something fair. Even if they knew that Xiao Weigong was seeking revenge, no one would expose him.
The person who came out to speak this time was the same scholar-bureaucrat who came out to help the Song family when the Xiaoyun clan beat the drum and sued Xiao Wei in the Jinluan Palace.
Revealing in front of everyone that Duke Xiao Wei avenged his personal revenge, not only the ministers in the court were surprised, but also Xiao Wei himself. This scholar-official looked like a stubborn old man in the court, but he had long been under his control, and he was demolished in this way.
, it feels like being betrayed, how can I not be angry?
He immediately stood up and expressed his position: "Although I have some grievances with the Song family, those grievances are not such that I can't even distinguish right from wrong. I definitely have no public revenge."
The scholar-official then said: "I believe that there is some grudge between the Yi king and the Song family. The Yun family's case is deeply involved, and the Yi king should not have intervened at this time."
Xiao Wei was so angry that he was so angry at this scholar-official, but he couldn't get angry on the spot. Instead, he had to pretend to be magnanimous and respond.
Emperor Chengxing had ignored the business for a long time, and now he couldn't help him if he wanted to. Hearing what the scholar-official said was reasonable, he nodded.
In fact, he himself knew that the charge of the Yun family being accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the imperial court was a bit excessive, and there might be a lot of strange things in it. However, since he succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager Jiang has been telling her about it and has been instilling in the Yun family in the northwest.
, the theory that none of the Liaodong Cao family are good people.
Now the people in the northwest no longer belong to the Yun family, but deep down in my heart, I still have some grudges against the Yun family. Even though I know that they may not have done these things, I don’t want to pay attention to them. This time Xiao Wei wants to avoid taboos. Think about it.
, this matter was simply supervised by several ministers from Dali Temple.
Xiao Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief when the Yun family's case was thrown to Dali Temple. Dali Temple always handled cases slowly. No matter what kind of case it was, it would take half a year at the earliest. If it was difficult,
There are cases from two to three years ago.
As soon as the incident with the Yun family came out, Xiao Jingchuan rushed to send a letter to Xiao Ci who was far away in the south. This matter was so big, but his own ability was limited. The ancestor of the Yun family was gone, and now he was dragged to Dali Temple.
, then all we can do is wait for Xiao Ci to rescue the Yun family.
However, what is unexpected is that after Dali Temple advocated burying the ancestors of the Yun family, they actually changed their past behavior and used vicious methods. All the Yun family members, men, women, old and young, who were imprisoned in Dali Temple, were tortured severely.
The one in my arms couldn't talk or walk, so I didn't let him go.
When Xiao Jingchuan's spies heard about the situation in Dali Temple, they were shocked and frightened. They sent people to the south one after another to urge them, and they themselves made the worst preparations.
The members of the Yun family are also hard-core, and even though they were brutally tortured, they could not get anything out of them. Dali Temple had no choice but to arrest all the disciples of the Yun family.
The Yun family has been in the northwest for many years. After moving back to Kyoto, they have kept a low profile and do not make friends with others. There are not many Kyoto disciples in the capital, but there are still some.
After all, these disciples are not as tough as the Yun family. Dali Temple tried so hard to coerce and lure them, but some actually took the bait and fabricated false confessions to accuse the Yun family of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the imperial court.
But even so, everyone in the Yun family refused to admit a single word.
Dali Temple had the confessions of the disciples of the Yun family, and regardless of whether the Yun family confessed or not, they took the confessions to Emperor Chengxing, confirmed the Yun family's many crimes, and asked Emperor Chengxing to decide on the sentence.
Emperor Chengxing was still a little reluctant to have the entire Yun family beheaded, but he couldn't bear the fact that several bachelors from Wenyuan Pavilion agreed, so he had nothing to say except for one sentence: "The emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people."
, Aiqing, let it be up to you."
The crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the imperial court was to punish the Nine Clans. Now that Emperor Chengxing had spoken, the people of Dali Temple were unambiguous in handling matters, arresting all the Nine Clans who were related to the Yun family.
Even the Song family, who had always had little sense of presence in the Marquis of Qibei, could not escape this disaster.
For a time, there was an uproar in the capital. Officials were coming and going on the streets, and the people did not dare to discuss the matter openly. Everyone was in danger.
This situation was completely out of Xiao Jingchuan's control. At this time, he had not received any news from Xiao Ci. The Yun family and the Song family had set a date for the execution. He became even more unable to sit still and became extremely anxious.
But no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that the day of execution was getting faster and faster day by day, Xiao Ci sent someone to send a message back first, but the person had not arrived yet. Song Qinghuan, who got the news halfway, also asked someone to send a message back, but the person turned back.
On the way.
The couple had not yet rushed back to Kyoto, but Xiao Jingchuan welcomed Wei Yutang.
Wei Yutang took Brother Xu back to Beijing last year and has never left. He has also been secretly paying attention to the Yun family's case. As a commoner, he really can't do anything, so he can only pay more attention, but
When the Song family was also implicated, they could no longer sit still.
Wei Yutang also knew that Song Qinghuan had left Beijing. He sent Brother Xu to Prince Rui's Mansion and handed it over to Xiao Jingchuan: "Brother Xu, please trouble the prince to help Wei look after him for a few days. I want to go back to Lizhou."
Xiao Jingchuan himself was so irritated that he looked at Brother Xu with his eyes wide open and asked, "I wonder what Uncle Wei has to do. I..."
