Chapter 113: The Frightened and Desperate Xu Churen
Xu Ming's eyes almost popped out, and his expression seemed to be a ghost, and his screams were squeezed out of his throat, sharp and harsh.
Everyone around was shocked. That was the young master of the Xu family. He was the only one who trampled on others hard on weekdays. Never have ever seen such an arrogant person? Not only did he not give any face, he cut off one of his arm when he came up!
A guard of the Imperial City next to Hou Shijie stabbed him again. Xu Ming's head soared into the sky, blood spurted up, and Xu Ming's head rolled down on the ground, scaring everyone around him screamed, and the five corpses fell to the ground.
Xu Ming's head rolled to Hou Shijie's feet, his eyes were still wide open, and he didn't believe that these people dared to kill him.
Hou Shijie didn't even look at it, kicked the head to the grass aside, and shouted: "Get out of the Xu family!"
Such a huge noise has already alarmed everyone inside.
I saw a middle-aged man hurried out with someone, and there was an old man with gray hair behind him, following him.
The middle-aged man was luxurious and was Xu Huaishan, the head of the Xu family. He was a well-known wealthy business landlord in Qingzhou. I heard that there was a chamber of commerce in Qingzhou, and he was the president. He united many big landlords and merchants and almost monopolized half of Jingdong Road.
As soon as Xu Huaishan came up, he was stunned when he saw He Liren, and then looked at the group of men in black and brocade robes beside He Liren. His face immediately changed wildly and he quickly gave a big gift: "The grass people bowed to the emperor's special envoy!"
His eyes turned sharply, and when he saw his son's headless body and his head rolling on the lawn, he felt angry, but it was quickly suppressed, and he said to himself: This rebellious son is really in vain! He almost killed me!
But Xu Huaishan's wife didn't think so. Her son was hacked to death at home. She was greatly stimulated and screamed, and she threw herself on her son and became in pain.
"The emperor's special envoy is ahead, don't be rude and come back quickly!"
"Master, our son is dead! Our son is dead! You almost kill these people! You kill them all! Avenge your son!"
Xu Huaishan's face turned blue, this prodigal girl!
Xu Huaishan shouted angrily: "Come back soon, this beast must have committed evil deeds, don't hide him!"
Hou Shijie smiled and said, "Master Xu, there is nothing else. We arrested two people from the Xu family. These two people said that you ordered them to kill Gu Shun and Zheng Erniang, so we want to ask clearly."
Xu Huaishan's heart was shocked and he said respectfully: "Reply to the words of the emperor's special envoy, the villain had never heard of Gu Shun and Zheng Erniang, and he had never found anyone to kill them. The villain had no grievances or grudges with them."
"I don't care whether there is any grudge or not. I will ask you one last time if you ordered someone to do it?"
"The special envoy clearly observed that this matter has nothing to do with our Xu Mansion."
Hou Shijie walked a few times and said, "Catch it!"
Xu Huaishan was shocked: "What is the purpose of the special envoy? This matter has nothing to do with our Xu family!"
Hou Shijie ignored him and called his subordinates to take all the investigation documents: "What do you mean? Are you treating the Imperial City Gu Shun as a fool? This is the past of Gu Shun and Zheng Erniang who are investigating us. They are the tenants of your Xu family. According to the recent laws of the Song Dynasty, the taxes in June only need to be paid one-tenth of the previous year. All the tenants of the Xu family pay taxes in accordance with the laws of the court, but some people have to collect them according to the original ones. You kill Gu Shun and Zheng Erniang to kill chickens and warn monkeys, right?"
Xu Huaishan is worthy of being an old fox who has been in charge for many years. He remained calm and said, "The special envoy is clear and there is no such thing as this!"
"There is absolutely nothing? Someone came to the Imperial City Department to report this matter. Should I find someone?"
Ignoring Xu Huaishan's blue face, Hou Shijie said to He Liren: "Master He, you are also a good person. You are taking the emperor's salary and doing something to deceive the emperor. You are not killing Gu Shun and Zheng Erniang to warn the monkey. According to my opinion, you are killing the people to warn him today! You are so brave, you dare to regard the laws of the court without anything! You dare to provoke the glorious power of heaven!"
He Liren was so scared that he was sweating all over his body, but he forced himself to: "The subordinates don't know what the commander's commander's intention is. The subordinates' loyalty to the court can be used to see the sun and the moon!"
"Can you understand the sun and the moon?" Hou Shijie greeted the people on the side to take out a bunch of documents and sneered at He Liren, "Master He, there is all the evidence here about how you collude with the Xu family, oppress the people, occupying fertile land, and the lives of grass-roots people. Do you think I did not investigate in advance when doing business? The taxes in Qingzhou in this June are not less than before! Corvée service as usual! You are forcing the emperor to ask if the sword is sharp in his hand!"
He Liren finally couldn't hold on and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Shangguan spares you! Shangguan spares you! They are all instructed by Xu Huaishan! They are all instructed by Xu Huaishan!"
Xu Huaishan's expression changed wildly: "Master He, why do you want to slander me!"
Hou Shijie kicked He Liren and said hatefully: "As a court official, you are a solemn person in Qingzhou on behalf of the emperor, but you are played with and applauded by a small Xu family. It really gives the emperor a face!"
Xu Huaishan quickly knelt down and said, "The special envoy is clear! It's all He Liren's false accusation of the cannibals!"
"Don't complain, either, Imperial City Secretary will not miss it. Qingzhou City has been sealed, and Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce cannot escape. All blood debts will be paid for!
"Come here! Send everyone from the Xu Mansion to a prison, throw the Qingzhou magistrate He Liren into a prison, and escort him to the capital overnight, and be sentenced by the Emperor Sheng!
Late at night, unlike the tranquility of the past, someone in the Dazai Mansion hurried out, got on the carriage, and rushed to the palace.
Xu Churen felt that he was really troubled from the sky. The Xu family in Qingzhou had basically nothing to do with him except the same ancestor. He had long been distant relatives of distant relatives. He didn't care much about what the Xu family did in Qingzhou, but he had sent someone to warn him not to use his reputation.
I didn't expect such a big thing to happen now!
Damn it! What a group of stupid pigs! Do you think the emperor's army is joking to suppress the riot in Luoyang? I think my family is comparable to the Confucius Mansion!
The emperor dares to kill even the descendants of the saints. You are just the Xu family, and you dare to blatantly collect taxes as you did before. Who do you think you are!
Xu Churen finally tried what it means to be cheated by a pig. This is so fucking uncomfortable!
At this time, the so-called Confucian righteousness was also thrown away by Xu Churen, and saving his life is important!
When Xu Churen entered the palace to meet the saint, he saw a person, Wang Kui'an, who had not appeared for a long time!
Since the emperor returned from the Northern Expedition, Wang Kuian was ordered to go to the northwest by the imperial order. Yao Pingzhong, Zhe Keqiu and others cut each other with Dangxiang in the northwest. Wang Kuian returned at this time, indicating that the situation in the northwest had stabilized!
Xu Churen saw the memorial on the emperor's imperial case. He vaguely caught the word Qingzhou, his eyelids jumped, and he knelt on the ground: "I deserve to die for ten thousand times, please give the emperor a death!"
There was no need to kneel down when the Song Dynasty saluted the emperor. At this time, when Xu Churen came, he knelt on the ground and buried his head before he could speak.
Zhao Huan pretended to be surprised and said, "What does Xu Qing mean?"
Although the emperor was confused, he did not let Xu Churen get up. This showed that the emperor had received an urgent report from 800 miles and knew about the Qingzhou case.
