Chapter 42 Xie Family
Xie Qiye ignored the anxious Xie family steward, but slowly picked up the tea bowl in front of him and put it to his mouth, but his mouth was full of mellow glutinous rice wine.
"Seventh Master." The manager of the Xie family couldn't help shouting again.
Mr. Xie Qi frowned and reluctantly ordered the boy to call back the beautiful prostitute who had escaped. He comforted the girl with kind words and then stood up unsteadily. .
Seeing Mr. Xie Qi like this, the steward of the Xie family couldn't help but sigh secretly. He was only twenty years old, but his body was almost empty from wine and sex. No wonder the master would be angry every time he saw Mr. Qi.
The carriage stopped at the door of Xie's house.
"Master Qi," the boy reminded, "otherwise we go and change clothes first."
Master Xie stretched himself and was about to agree, but the steward next to him was busy. He said: "We can't delay any longer. The old man is still waiting in the main room."
Mr. Another fire was set on the old man's head, and the fire was so strong that no one in the Xie family could have an easy time.
The boy simply arranged Xie Qiye's robe. Xie Qiye stood in the yard, blown by the cold wind. He seemed to be more awake and finally walked with a little more strength. The steward finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, not long after, Mr. Xie Qi, who was walking normally, stopped again. He stared at the boxes and cages piled up in the east room and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Although he was in charge of things He was anxious, but he could only reply: "This is a New Year's gift to be sent to the capital."
Master Xie Qi raised his eyebrows: "For the Xie family in Kaifeng?"
Steward echoed.
Master Xie Qi showed a strange smile: "My grandfather and father are really thoughtful. I remember that in order to celebrate the marriage between the Xie family and Prince Huai County, they sent a batch. It was only a few months ago... …”
The steward pursed his lips. There were some words that he shouldn't have responded to, but...
Xie Qiye continued to walk forward and said lightly: "Is it too risky to bet now that the Prince of Huai County will inherit the throne? It’s too early. Even if Prince Huai succeeds in the future, the Xie family’s wife will be made queen?”
The manager’s heart will pop out of his throat.
Although the Xie family desperately wanted to get closer to the Xie family in Kaifeng, and even said privately that they were a branch of the Xie family in Kaifeng, they would never dare to talk about the Prince of Huai County.
The father of King Huai County is the adopted son of the current official family. The official family has no biological heirs and will let their adopted son inherit the throne in the future. But as long as that person does not sit on the throne for a day, there will still be changes. The Xie family cannot get involved in the fight here.
You know, in any battle involving the emperor's heir, the stakes are the lives of the entire clan.
Fortunately, there was no one else around. The steward comforted himself, but Xie Qiye’s next words directly caused the steward’s expression to change again.
“I don’t know if Mrs. Xie, who is going to marry into the royal family, is as powerful as my ‘Ten Sister’ who came back from the dead.”
“Ouch,” the steward finally couldn’t bear it. Stop, "My Qi Ye, please stop talking nonsense for a while."
Xie Qi Ye doesn't care, he doesn't know whether the Xie family can climb up to the Xie family in Kaifeng, but before that, he has to think about how to solve it Your own troubles are the right thing to do.
In Mr. Xie's yard, his children and grandchildren stood all over the place, but the house was unusually quiet.
Mr. Xie raised his eyes and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Mr. Xie: "Is there any news from the government office?" The prosecutor's office found hundreds of kilograms of green and white salt in Du's house. A small amount of green and white salt was also found in other houses in Yong'anfang. Fortunately, the amount was not large..."
Mr. Xie slapped his palm on the table: "Didn't you say that there was nothing wrong with the Yang family? How could you let the inspection yamen find these evidences? Even though they are not many, the inspection yamen can use this to dig through Yong'an Fang inside and outside."
Xie Chongjun is the leader of the Xie clan, and he is particularly dignified in front of his clan members. Now that he is being reprimanded by his father in front of so many people, he feels somewhat embarrassed.
The second master, Xie Chonghai, couldn't help but interjected: "Dad, I can't blame my elder brother for this. It has only been two days, and no one expected that He Tan would do it so quickly."
Old master Xie glared at his second son: "I have warned you a long time ago, don't underestimate He Tan. Not only can he mobilize the He family, but also the Wang family can pave the way for him. Otherwise, can he come to Daming Mansion safely?" Anyone else would have lost his official position, and those generals Mr. Xie has seen this before.
Xie Chongjun was in trouble and couldn't tell. He had already been watched by people who could mobilize the manpower of the He family, but this incident started in the inner house of the Yang family. Before He Tan took people to the Yang family, they Didn't hear any news.
Xie Chongjun said: "The Yang family's case is not that simple. The evidence was found so quickly, as if their own family specially presented it to He Tan. Yang Mingjing had just been promoted to deputy envoy... ..."
Mr. Xie frowned: "What do you mean? Could it be that Yang Mingjing killed his own father for a deputy envoy?"
Xie Chongjun thought for a while, but he still didn't speak. The information he found out was that this matter was closely related to "Xie". Everyone said that Xie was taking revenge on the Yang family, but he I think it’s impossible. How can a female family member have such means?
But he really didn’t understand "Xie".
"Mr. Xie" is just a corpse they bought. Who would bother to inquire about the origin of a dead person?
To be on the safe side, he specifically asked the steward to find a nanny to handle the matter. Who knows that something might have happened despite being so cautious.
Had I known it, I would have found a servant, reported an emergency, and made her willing to die.
Now that I think about it carefully, this matter is more or less strange. How could it happen by such a coincidence?
Is the Xie family unlucky, or is it being plotted against? The one who knows the inside story best is Jiao Da, but Jiao Da is dead. Xie Chongjun sighed. Thinking of this, he was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from the door.
“Take the tenth sister home and ask, everything will be clear, isn’t it?”
Everyone turned their eyes over and saw Mr. Xie Qi from outside. Come inside.
"Grandfather," Mr. Xie Qi first saluted Mr. Xie, and then pointed at Xie Chongjun, "Father, second uncle."
The room was scented with incense, but Xie Chongjun still smelled a strong smell from Xie Qi. He smelled of alcohol. I don’t know whether this little beast had drunk alcohol early in the morning or was still hungover. He was about to have a fit and start scolding, but Mr. Xie had already stepped forward and said: "Where did Shi Niang come from?"
Xie Master Qi was not afraid, and asked knowingly: "That's the one who married Yang Liu! It's the dowry I went to send."
Mr. Xie became even more angry, and pointed at Master Xie: "You still have Why are you mentioning this? Didn’t you go to Yang’s house to inquire about this matter?” After leaving the Yang family, I also want to invite Shiniang back to talk. We are always a family. It would be too troublesome to sue us. Is there anything that can’t be solved behind closed doors? "
"It's a pity that my brother didn't do a good job. Shi Niang refused to give me face. How about another person in our family try?"
After Xie Qiye said these words, the room became even quieter, Xie Chongjun's face I felt nervous. Everyone's ideas on this matter had some truth, but this traitor was the only one who deliberately added fuel to the fire.
“Kneel down,” Xie Chongjun sternly said, “You have embarrassed the Xie family by fooling around outside all day long. Something happened at home and you can’t be found anywhere. How dare you now? Are you talking about this? "
There was an accident at home, he was scolded by his father, and there were still a lot of unresolved hidden dangers. If he was targeted by the inspection office again, Xie Chongjun didn't dare to think about the trouble he would have. There was nowhere to express his anger, but now that this traitor was coming to his door, how could he let him go?
“Take the family law,” Xie Chongjun pointed at Mr. Xie Qi, “drag this traitor out, beat him with twenty sticks, and lock him in the ancestral hall. No one will give him food today, and let him face his ancestors. Liezong, please sober up.”
Xie Chongjun spoke, and the eldest lady Zhao next to her hurriedly persuaded: "Master, calm down, Qi Lang is weak and can't fight."
Mr. Xie looked at Xie Qi, and you can still see it from his eyebrows The shadow of his biological mother also frowned. The boss was usually reluctant to punish Xie Qi for that woman's sake, but now he finally spoke.
Mr. Xie glanced at Mr. Zhao: "If you don't cut jade, it won't make it. If you indulge him like this and let him live in debauchery, you are really ruining your body."
Mrs. Xie also said something, in charge of things I had to call a few people to come forward and take Mr. Xie Qi down.
Xie Qi struggled a few times, but to no avail. He had to say: "What I told is the truth. You will know sooner or later..."
After shouting, Xie Qi's eyes changed, with a somewhat sarcastic expression on his face, and he looked at the steward: "The beating will be lighter later. Master Qi is weak. If you really beat me to death, none of you can escape." Dropped. "
It's a good thing to be locked up in the ancestral hall, because he just doesn't want to get involved in the current chaos.
Besides, isn’t his purpose in this family just to make them vent their anger? They would use their anger on him so that they would not resent his mother.
Xie Shiniang.
Xie Qiye muttered, don't back down. At the critical moment, your brother can still help you.
...
After Mr. Xie Qi was taken out, Mr. Xie's expression softened a little. He looked at Xie Chongjun again: "At times like this, nothing can happen to our Xie family."
Thank you Everyone knows what the old man is referring to.
"But don't be afraid," Mr. Xie said coldly, "We are a branch of the Xie family in Kaifeng. If we are really bullied, the family will not ignore it."
"That case Settle it as soon as possible and completely cut off the relationship with the Yang family, so as not to let this fire come over. That woman is not my Xie family’s daughter, and her name is not included in the genealogy. This must be made clear to the Yang family and the government office. "
"There is no place for her in the Xie family. In this life, she will never even think about setting foot in the Xie family."
Mr. Xie said this intentionally because of Xie Qicai's suggestion.
“No matter who she is,” Mr. Xie said, “I don’t want to hear a word from her anymore. Do you understand?”
Xie Chongjun responded: “I understand. "
He will immediately take a steward to the government office and let the steward bear all the blame. They originally bought the body of a woman from an innocent family, but the steward failed to investigate and sold it. If someone is implicated, the Xie family will bear whatever punishment the court wants. As for other things without evidence, the Xie family will not bow their heads.
As the head of the Xie clan, he would also admit that he was confused for a moment and entered into this ghost marriage. It was better to lose face than to be implicated by the Yang family.
“It’s not too late,” said Mr. Xie, “Go now.”
Xie Chongjun stood up and was about to walk out when Mr. Xie added: “If you meet that Mr. Xie ...Tell her that she is not allowed to call herself Xie, and teach her a lesson. A woman must know how to behave as a woman. If she wants to extort money from the Xie family, she must have the ability. If she dares to cause trouble, the Xie family will definitely not spare her. ."
Xie Chongjun frowned, meeting "Xie" in the government office?
It can’t be that coincidental, right?
