Chapter 261 The Fate of the Xie Family
Chapter 261 The Fate of the Xie Family
Xu Maochun confessed everything he knew, and his confession was more than ten pages long.
In addition, there are several pages of densely packed lists of names.
However, it was already late and the matter was not urgent, so Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng did not dare to enter the palace to disturb Emperor Taihe's sleep.
It was not until the next morning that the two men rushed into the palace before the morning court session and presented Chen Fang and Xu Maochun's confessions to Emperor Taihe.
Emperor Taihe was horrified by what he saw.
"Then Xu Shi and Xie Yun's concubines are actually Chen Huan's people? How many other people did this bitch arrange?"
There are quite a few civil and military officials in the court. If Empress Chen had placed women around all of them, wouldn't these women have already secretly controlled the court's movements?
Emperor Taihe felt even more horrified when he looked at the densely packed list!
For more than ten years, such a terrible woman has been hiding by his side!
"Investigate immediately! Now that we have the confessions of Chen and Xu Maochun, arrest Xie Yun and the others and interrogate them first!"
Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng immediately accepted the order.
After leaving the palace, the two men took people directly to the Xie family to arrest people.
When they arrived, Xie Yun and Qu Wan'er were worried about the bodies of Xie Yi and Xie Jia.
Xie Jia had previously suffered a miscarriage and was sentenced to death, so the two knew that her time was running out.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jia died in prison before he was beheaded.
Now the body has been sent to the Xie family, and they are asked to dispose of it as they please!
What's even more outrageous is that the people who delivered the body also asked them for money for the burial clothes and coffin, as well as money for running away!
The other party was the Black Kirin Guard. Xie Yun didn't dare to default on his debt, so he could only give the silver depressedly, and then took the opportunity to inquire about the information from the other party.
Unexpectedly, the man accepted the extra money he gave as a tribute, but refused to reveal a word and just asked him to wait for news.
Xie Yun was so angry that he couldn't sleep well the whole night. He felt extremely uneasy when he thought of the Black Kirin Guards guarding outside.
I can only pray secretly that all this will pass quickly and that the Xie family can turn danger into safety and escape this disaster.
Who knew that before dawn, two killing gods came to the house!
When Xie Yun was caught by the Black Kirin Guards, he was still a little dazed.
"What do you mean? Ah—"
He asked dissatisfiedly, but someone pressed the back of his neck hard and tied his arms behind his back, so that he could only bend over and bow 120 degrees, unable to stand up straight.
He couldn't even look directly at Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng.
I can only look up from a very low perspective.
The two men had cold faces at this moment, and they looked just like the cold-faced killers in the storybooks.
"take away!"
At Lu Xuan's command, Xie Yun, Qu Wan'er, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie were all captured by the Black Kirin Guards.
Xie You did not commit any crime, so his and Qu Wan'er's four children were safe for the time being.
However, after Lu Xuan took Xie Yun and others away, he still ordered the Black Kirin Guards to block all the doors of the Xie family, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
Even if Xie You had not been captured, his days would not have been easy.
He sat dejectedly at the desk, looking at the article in front of him, and scratched his hair angrily.
Ever since the Xie family was surrounded, he no longer had the heart to review his lessons, and Xie Yun obviously had no intention of teaching him anymore.
Even though he tried hard to force himself to review his lessons, answer questions, and write articles, the results were still very poor. The articles he wrote were a mess and unsightly!
Now that Xie Yun and others have been captured, Xie You can no longer bear to watch.
He angrily tore up the article in front of him, letting out suppressed roars like a trapped beast in despair.
"Uh uh oh ahh ...
Xie You vented his anger wildly and knocked over everything on the desk.
Then he kicked over the table.
Looking at the mess on the floor, his legs went limp and he sat down with a thud, collapsing right onto the official hat chair behind him.
After sitting paralyzed for a long time, he raised his hands to cover his face, breaking down in tears.
When Lu Xuan came to arrest people before, he didn't dare to go out and hid in his yard in fear.
It was not until the housekeeper came to report that he learned that Xie Yun and others had all been taken away.
Now, he has become the biggest master of the Xie family.
Xie You twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, his smile feeling bitter inside.
How he once wished that he could become the leader of the Xie family, and even his father Xie Yun would listen to him and not have any objections?
But now that he has finally become the biggest master of the Xie family, he is not happy at all.
It was for Xie Yun's promotion that he severed his ties with Xie Xiu and the Luo family and chose to be a filial son to Xie Yun.
Now that Xie Yun was captured, his plans naturally came to nothing.
He thought that with Xie Yun's help, he could pass the imperial examination next spring, choose a virtuous wife, enter the Hanlin Academy, or be sent to a wealthy place to be a county magistrate, and live a free and easy life from then on.
But now, he has become a complete joke.
Xie Yun was captured by the Black Kirin Guards. Not only would he be unable to help him in the future, he would also likely be implicated by Xie Yun.
Why is this happening?
How did he end up like this?
Xie You was filled with despair and extremely unwilling.
He wanted to ask Xie Xiu for help, but the people outside were all from the Black Kylin Guards. If anyone dared to run out, they would be killed on the spot!
Not only did he not dare to climb over the wall to leave, even the servants in the house did not dare to take the risk of being beheaded.
He could only wait helplessly at home for news.
Xie You felt extremely regretful.
If he had known the result would be like this, he would never choose to continue recognizing Xie Yun as his father!
On the other side, Xie Yun and others were all taken to the Black Kirin Guard prison and then interrogated separately.
Facing the aggressive Black Kirin Guards, Old Lady Xie no longer had her former arrogance and dominance.
After being whipped, she screamed and admitted that she had deliberately killed Luo Sheng.
Old Master Xie was also trembling like a sieve, but he had already suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, making it difficult for him to speak, so it was obviously not easy to get him to confess.
So the Black Kirin Guards threw him directly into jail and ignored him.
After interrogating Xie Yun, they locked Xie Yun up with Old Master Xie and ordered him to take care of Old Master Xie himself.
When Xie Yun was locked up, he was not only beaten all over, but his fingers were also pinched to the point of blood and flesh being mangled. The pain made him sweat all over.
He wanted to lie at first, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng were very difficult to fool.
As long as he told a lie, he would be tortured.
He was forced to tell the truth and confess everything he knew.
The Black Kirin Guard Yamen is completely different from the Ministry of Justice lobby. If you enter here, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.
The last time the Ministry of Justice tried the case, Xie Yun was still an official, and Chen Fang took all the responsibility. The Minister of Justice was concerned about the impact, so he naturally did not want to torture him in court, which made people think that the Ministry of Justice liked to force confessions under torture.
Almost all those who were arrested and taken to the Black Kirin Guards' office were thorns in the eyes of Emperor Taihe. Naturally, the Black Kirin Guards who were in charge of the interrogation would not be polite to Xie Yun anymore.
As soon as Xie Yun entered the cell, Old Master Xie screamed "Ahhh" and crawled towards him.
When he crawled in front of Xie Yun and saw his bloody hands, Old Master Xie burst into tears instantly. He screamed "Ahhhh" and slapped Xie Yun with his hands, hating him for choosing Chen Fang, the vicious woman, who made him suffer.
Not far from the cell, Luo Zheng stood quietly, watching all this coldly, with the corners of his lips raised in a ruthless and cruel manner.
In the corner, a yellowish object lay quietly, and then quickly disappeared.
