Chapter 94 Confiscating the Xie Qian Family (Part 2)
Xie Qian felt uncomfortable all over now, sometimes as if his whole body was on fire, and sometimes as if he was being fried in a pan.
He almost wanted to explode and die.
But now that Xie Qian has become a prisoner, it is naturally impossible for him to do whatever he wants like in the past. Now he is only breathing rapidly, even shaking and moaning.
The commander in charge of taking the prisoners, Deng Bing, thought that Xie Qian was angry, so he ignored him and ordered people to take Xie Qian to a prison car.
But Xie Qian couldn't hold it in any longer, so he broke free from the hands of the two officers and soldiers and rushed towards one of them. He threw himself on that person and kissed him wildly. He also lifted up his robe to do something.
And that person was Du San who was still staying where he was. Du San was already frightened when he saw the officers and soldiers. Now when he saw Xie Qian trying to take off his clothes, he was so frightened that he shouted: "Old Ge, Mr. Ge!"< br>
Seeing this, Deng Bing hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers to pull Xie Qian up, put on shackles, and locked Xie Qian into the prison car regardless of Xie Qian's struggle.
Du San was so frightened that he quickly put on his clothes again.
Xie Qian still looked at Du San with burning eyes: "Beauty! Beauty!"
The body was still pressed against the outside of the prison car desperately.
The flag officer who was guarding Xie Qian was very puzzled when he saw Xie Qian acting like this, so he had to give Xie Qian a whip: "Be honest!"
Xie Qian was at the time when the drug was taking effect. After being whipped, he immediately opened his mouth: "One more whip, another whip!"
The chief flag officer was a little confused. He had never seen anyone take the initiative to ask to continue beating him.
However, the chief flag officer did not beat Xie Qian again. He did not dare to beat Xie Qian to death. After all, Xie Qian was a repeat offender of the imperial court.
At this time, Xie Qian, who was almost completely unconscious, saw that the flag officer did not continue to beat him, so he simply hit the pillar of the prison car by himself, making the prison car clang and clang, and after a long collision, his whole body moved up and down. The friction against the car pillar started getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing this, the general flag officer just thought that Xie Qian was struggling to get out, so he didn't care about Xie Qian. After all, his mission was just to take good care of Xie Qian.
At this time, members of the Xie family were arrested one after another, each one howling and screaming, but Xie Qian ignored them completely and only fought against the prison car.
Du San was also taken into the prison car. After all, he was staying at the Xie family and could be considered a member of the Xie family.
Du San also regretted this very much. He originally came here to seek an official position from Xie Qian, but he didn't expect that he would be implicated and become a prisoner.
Du San could only shout desperately: "Sir! I have nothing to do with the Xie family. I am just a commoner who comes to the Xie family to do business!"
"I don't care, according to the imperial court's decree, all the people in the Xie family will be taken to Fengyang first!"
Deng Bing said and ordered to continue taking people.
At this time, Lu Ju also started to search the house with him.
However, Xie Pi, who came after hearing the news, stopped Lu Ju and shouted directly: "You are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, why do you take people for no reason? My father was once a veteran of three dynasties and a minister in the cabinet. How can I allow you guys to take them away at will?" ! Come on! Beat them out!”
At this time, Deng Bing personally brought the imperial edict: "We are following the imperial edict. The treacherous minister Xie Qian committed regicide and committed treason. His crime cannot be pardoned!"
As he said that, Deng Bin first hacked a powerful Xie family slave to the ground who rushed over, and immediately scared away other Xie family slaves. Even Xie Pi was stunned. He only gritted his teeth and said: "My father must have been wronged. You guys must have been wronged." Don't be too arrogant with these imperial eagle dogs!" Deng Bing didn't bother to care about Xie Pi and just had Xie Pi taken away!
At this time, Xie Qian seemed to have had all his fun and regained some sense, and hurriedly shouted: "Pi'er, let them take the people! Let them ransack the house! I have been an honest official all my life. I have never sought any personal gain for myself. I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. After ten years, I have been brutally harmed by these traitors, and I can only bow my head and admit my guilt. I only hope that someone can prove my innocence after he is 10 years old!”
"Yes, my father has always been an honest official, and my Xie family has always been honest and honest in running the family. Let's see what you can find!"
Xie Pi also agreed at this time.
Lu Ju did not respond to Xie Qian and Xie Pi's father and son, and only asked people to search them carefully.
After an hour, Lu Ju's officers and soldiers withdrew one after another, but they did not find much gold, silver and jade, just some land deeds.
"Master Lu, and Master Deng, I know that you are only following the imperial decree, but are you so willing to kill Zhongliang on behalf of a traitor? Now you can see clearly that in addition to the land deeds, I seem to be searching for antiques and jades. Are you collecting celebrities’ calligraphy and paintings to enrich yourself? ”
Xie Qian said and then asked: "You can let them take a closer look. These land deeds are all the ancestral property of our Xie family. Even the land purchased and donated was voluntary by the people, and it was not taken by chance!"
At this time, there were indeed a large number of people outside who came over after hearing the news. Among them, a few health workers wearing square scarves took the lead in giving a grand ceremony:
"Officials, it is clear that students and other Yao people do not know why the imperial court arrested Mr. Xie Ge and other gentlemen. Logically speaking, we do not dare to obstruct the court's law enforcement, but we have to plead with the officials and ask the court to forgive Mr. Xie Ge and the others. Well, my hometown has always been kind to the people and never We all have witnessed this by torturing our neighbors and helping those in need. How many widows and lonely people in Yuyao County cannot be supported by the county, but my hometown is providing relief! The house was confiscated and taken away! ”
There were more and more people outside. They were all pleading for Xie Qian and his family, and some were crying bitterly.
Some even directly threatened: "Neighbors, these are Liu Jin's traitors in the court who are trying to frame us, Mr. Ge, and these people are the hawks of the court. We must not let them take Mr. Ge away today! Otherwise! Mr. Ge will be killed by them, we can’t let them take Mr. Ge away!”
Lu Ju was younger and had never seen such a battle before. He couldn't help but look at Deng Bing: "Brother Deng, look at this situation. Is Mr. Xie Ge really a good official? What should we do?"
Deng Bing was not in a hurry to answer Lu Ju's words. He could see that although many of these so-called common people were simply interceding for Xie Qian, some were obviously deliberately inciting people's hearts and intending to hinder his own officers and soldiers from enforcing the law. But he He also knew that now he could not easily lead Xie Qian and others to confiscate Xie Qian's family. After all, if a civil uprising really happened, he and Lu Hu would be the first to take the blame.
Naturally, Deng Bing would not believe that Xie Qian was really a good person. Based on his understanding of civil servants, there were few truly upright officials, but there were quite a few hypocritical ones. Therefore, he couldn't help but think carefully about what to do. Break the current deadlock.
Xie Qian sneered. Although he had just vented his anger, the effects of the medicine had not worn off, and one area had begun to itch uncomfortably. Therefore, he now also hoped that these officers and soldiers would let him go and let him take a shower quickly. He couldn't help but wink at a member of the Xie clan who was under his care among the people kneeling outside.
This Xie clan member hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, sit back and watch Mr. Xie Ge being killed by them. Let's smash the prison car and save Mr. Ge. Come with me and charge!"
As soon as the Xie clan member finished speaking, Deng Bing made a quick decision and shot an arrow through the Xie clan member's throat. The people who were about to rush in were so frightened that they retreated back.
At this time, Xie Qian became furious: "Deng Bing, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately! Even if Xie is guilty, what has he got to do with the villagers! You will not die well!"
Although Deng Bing's arrow just now shocked the Xie clan who pretended to be common people and the common people who were sympathetic to the Xie family, it did make the people even more angry. Now Xie Qian expressed even more indignation at the killing of the people. The people present supported the Xie family even more, making the scene even more tense.
At this time, Deng Bing accidentally saw Du San. The fishy smell on Du San's body made him remember it deeply, and it also reminded him of how he saw Du San, an ordinary citizen, when he just rushed in with his people. While chatting and laughing with Xie Qian, I still remembered Xie Qian's words, "Go to Liuxiang Cave."
For a moment, Deng Bing hurriedly asked Lu Ju: "Commander Lu, have your people searched Liuxiang Cave?"
Lu Ju shook his head hastily: "The people below reported that there is no such place in the pavilion."
"Send people to search! If you can't find anything, demolish the wall. First ask a servant of the Xie family where the incense cave is." After Deng Bing said this, Lu Ju hurriedly ordered Qian Hu to bring people there, and Xie Qian At this time, he couldn't help but turn pale after hearing this, and immediately shouted: " Folks! Whoever is willing to rescue me now, I will give him one hundred acres of fertile land and one hundred taels of silver. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. As long as you are willing to come to rescue me, the court will not blame you, and the court will have to do the same. Obey public opinion! ”
Xie Qian shouted like this, and the Yuyao people who already sympathized with the Xie family heard that they would be rewarded with fertile land and silver for saving Ge Lao. They also heard that Xie Qian said that no one would blame them if they went to the court, so they all responded and started fighting. They went to their respective homes to find hoes and other things to save Xie Qian.
Thank you to book friend V Dream of Infinite V for the reward of 1000 starting coins. Thank you to book friend JiuLongJiu for the reward of 100 starting coins. I wrote more than 2,700 words without realizing it, but I haven’t finished writing the content that Xie Qian copied. It can be considered a success. It seems that the end of the small plot of confiscating the Xie family can only be placed in the next chapter.
