After saying that, he angrily walked away, heading straight for the gate of the Wang family.
The guests who had something to do wanted to catch up and watch the excitement, but they were stopped by the servants as soon as they arrived at the door, saying that no one could leave the theater without Wang Qiuyu's order!
In desperation, everyone had to wait patiently in the banquet hall and predict the development trend of this matter in private.
As for the memorial full of signatures, it has been put away long ago, and no one knows where it is hidden.
When Wang Qiuyu rushed out of the Wang family gate with a group of servants, the first thing he saw was Prince Cheng, Xiao Shen, standing majestically in front of the stairs. He had his hands behind his back and was wearing a purple suit that represented the prince's identity.
There is a lifelike three-clawed silver dragon embroidered on the chest, and there is a hint of romance hanging in the corner of the eyebrows and eyes, but the aura exuding from the whole body is so strong that people dare not despise it.
As soon as she saw him, Wang Qiuyu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strong sense of foreboding.
Wang Qiuyu forced a smile and stepped forward to say hello: "I heard that the prince was missing. Concubine Duan and the Qin family were almost crazy with anxiety. Now that you are finally back, why did you come to me instead of keeping safe with them?
Could it be that you are also here to celebrate your birthday and have a drink?"
"I'm not here to drink. I have business to do." Xiao Shen took out the golden scroll from behind, slowly unfolded it, and glanced at Wang Qiuyu with a half-smile, "The imperial edict has arrived! Prime Minister Wang, please kneel down quickly.
Is there an order to be received?"
Wang Qiuyu looked at the golden imperial edict in his hand in disbelief. Isn't the emperor not in the palace? Where did this imperial edict come from?!
Wang Qiuyu widened his eyes, trying to see some signs of fraud in the imperial edict. However, he couldn't see anything wrong after looking at it for a long time.
This can only show that this imperial edict is true.
Xiao Shen raised his voice slightly and said with a warning: "Prime Minister Wang, why don't you kneel down to accept the order? Do you really want to resist the order and be disrespectful?"
Wang Qiuyu had no choice but to hang his head, knelt down unwillingly, and knocked his forehead on the ground: "I accept the order!"
Xiao Shen read slowly: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict to investigate. In the name of a birthday banquet, Prime Minister Wang Qiuyu gathered important officials at home to discuss treason. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime is unpardonable and he is sentenced to
The whole family will be executed and all the family property will be confiscated. I admire this!"
With a bang, something seemed to explode in Wang Qiuyu's mind, and suddenly everything went blank.
He knelt there blankly until the officers and soldiers came forward to lock him up. He finally came back to his senses and immediately struggled to resist and shouted loudly: "Wei Chen is innocent! Wei Chen is not guilty! Wei Chen is not guilty!"
The minister refuses to obey! The minister is wronged!"
Xiao Shen put away the imperial edict and sneered: "It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. What matters is what His Majesty thinks of you."
When Wang Qiuyu saw the shackles in the hands of the officers and soldiers, he knew that he was in doom. Suddenly, the steward behind him pushed them out to block his arrest, while he himself took the opportunity to turn around and run away.
This is the Wang family, this is his territory, how could he be caught so easily?!
Xiao Shen was well prepared and immediately asked people to surround him: "Catch him! If he runs away, we will all be dead!"
More than a dozen tall and strong officers and soldiers surrounded Wang Qiuyu. Like a cornered animal, Wang Qiuyu roared angrily: "Get out! My surname is Wang! I am the head of the Wang family! Who of you dare to touch me?"
Let me give it a try?!"
He was waving his arms wildly, scratching anyone he caught, and occasionally punching and kicking them.
He only has one thought now... he can't be caught! He can't be caught even if he dies!
Wang Qiuyu resisted too much. Not only did he injure many officers and soldiers, he even injured himself. Judging from his posture, he was planning to fight to death.
The scene was getting more and more chaotic, and it might get out of control if it continued like this. A military general asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still waiting for us to return to the palace. Time is running out. This matter must be ended as soon as possible. You
Look now..."
Xiao Shen's face was expressionless: "Ask the archers to prepare. As long as no one is killed, let them shoot as they please."
"Okay," the general turned around and told the archers to get ready to work.
The officers and soldiers who were arresting Wang Qiuyu got the order and quickly got out of the way. Wang Qiuyu took the opportunity to escape. At that time, thousands of arrows fired straight at him!
He was hit by an arrow in each leg and fell to the ground on the spot. Blood quickly stained his pants and flowed all over the floor.
The officers and soldiers immediately rushed forward and pinned him firmly to the ground, locking his hands and feet with shackles. The general went up to check, then returned to Xiao Shen and whispered: "His legs were shot.
There were varying degrees of abrasions on his clothes, arms, shoulders and neck, but none were fatal."
"As long as you can't die," Xiao Shen strode up the stairs and glanced at the Wang family servants who were pale and confused. "Take them all away. These are all certifications. Remember to ensure that you are alive so that you can report to Your Majesty later."
Crossover."
The general bowed his hands and said, "I obey my orders!"
After Wang Qiuyu and the Wang family servants were escorted away, Xiao Shen led a large number of fully armed officers and soldiers and swaggered into the Wang family mansion. With an order, the officers and soldiers rushed out like wolves and tigers descending the mountain, and quickly gathered in the banquet hall.
All the officials were arrested.
The guests who were stunned by this series of events were all put in chains before they could turn around. They didn't even have a chance to defend themselves. The voices of yelling and cursing suddenly started to rise one after another, one wave after another.
Xiao Shen was too lazy to argue with these loud-mouthed civil servants, so he dragged a chair over and sat at the door to wait.
He crossed his legs and shook while watching his men arresting people. Every time he saw a guest being tied up and walking past him, he would greet him with a friendly smile: "Shilang Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have a big belly."
It’s more mellow again, you’ve been very oily recently, right?”
"Isn't this Qiu Shangshu? Look at the material and workmanship of this dress. It must have been made by Tianfeng Cloth Shop in the city. The price is certainly not cheap."
"Editor Yu, why are you here too? Don't be in a hurry to curse. This king is also doing things according to the decree. Every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner. If you want to curse, just curse the person who promulgated the imperial edict, but there is no point in cursing me.
What’s the use?”
When the officers and soldiers who were working diligently to arrest people saw this scene, they all gave Prince Cheng a thumbs up in their hearts... He is indeed His Majesty's brother. He is really a source of hatred! Must give him a thumbs up!
When Song Huaicai was pushed out by the officers and soldiers, Xiao Shen called to them, pointed at Song Huaicai and said: "Your Majesty said, he does not need to be arrested."
"Yes," the officers and soldiers immediately let go of Song Huaicai.
Song Huaicai rubbed his sore wrist and said to Xiao Shen, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Xiao Shen smiled smartly: "It's just a little effort. Are you injured?"
"No," Song Huaicai paused. After all the guests were escorted away, he asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty has returned to the palace?"
Xiao Shen nodded: "After I finish handling the affairs of the Wang family, I will return to the palace to resume my duties. Do you want to go with me to see His Majesty?"
"Well, I happen to have something to report to Your Majesty."
The two of them made an agreement, everyone was arrested, and Xiao Shen began to lead people to ransack the house.
The Wang family is a century-old family with extremely rich wealth. A random search revealed a large number of valuable treasures, which made Xiao Shen smack his lips: "With these things, the treasury will no longer need to cry for poverty, Second Emperor Brother
I will definitely be overjoyed after seeing it.”
Song Huaicai was not as optimistic as him. While watching the whole process of confiscating the house with him, he said solemnly: "The foundation of the Wang family is very deep. Even if the Wang family's mansion was confiscated today, the Wang family still has many branches in other places.
If they really want to cause trouble, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
These aristocratic families attach great importance to the distinction between direct descendants and concubines. They usually dislike relatives in branch and collateral families. In their eyes, collateral families are not important at all. However, in other small places, most of these collateral families are very important in the local area.
With their reputation, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are local emperors. If this group of people gets into trouble, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away. It will be impossible to suppress them even if they want to, and I will have a headache just thinking about it.
Xiao Shen squatted down, grabbed a handful of luminous pearls, and played with them in his hand: "Don't worry, the Second Emperor Brother has already thought of these things. Before we take action, the Second Emperor Brother has sent secret guards to various places to take those things.
All the incredible things have been dealt with."
Xiao Shen did not elaborate on the specific solution, and Song Huaicai did not ask further questions.
The two of them changed the topic in a tacit understanding, talked about their experiences in the past few days, and exchanged news with each other.
Xiao Shen was the first to speak, telling the inside story about his disappearance over the past few days.
It turned out that when Xiao Shen was kidnapped, a group of mysterious masked men suddenly appeared on the way. They quickly killed the kidnappers and quietly kidnapped Xiao Shen. Xiao Shen, with great anxiety and panic, was led by the masked men.
He went to a very secluded villa, where he lived alone for two days. He had no worries about food and drink every day, and the treatment was very good. It didn't look like the other party wanted his life.
This guess made him sigh in relief, and at the same time, he became even more confused about the real intention of the group of masked men. He once tried to escape secretly, but he soon found that there were people guarding every door. Even if he had wings, he would not be able to escape.
It was difficult to fly, so in the end I had to be patient and see what those masked men wanted to do.
It wasn't until the night of the third day that the group of masked men appeared, and they respectfully invited Xiao Shen to the pavilion by the lake.
There, Xiao Shen finally met the leader behind the mask people.
This person is none other than his second emperor brother Xiao Feng!
It turned out that Xiao Feng had already rushed back to Wushuang City day and night, but he didn't want to alert others, so he didn't tell anyone the news. He secretly sent someone to kidnap Xiao Shen in order to hide it from others. He said that some things had not been arranged yet.
Let Xiao Shen stay well in the villa until this morning, Xiao Shen suddenly received an imperial edict from Xiao Feng and led a large group of officers and soldiers straight to the Wang family to arrest people.
After Xiao Shen finished speaking, it was Song Huaicai's turn.
Song Huaicai said that the reason why he came to attend the birthday banquet was because he received a secret letter from His Majesty. The letter said that Wang Qiuyu was likely to use the name of the birthday banquet to attack civil servants, and ordered Song Huaicai to go to the birthday banquet to inquire about the news.
, it is best to cooperate inside and outside at the last critical moment to catch all the old people in the world. (To be continued)
