The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 113 Play Her to Death
The emperor's anger never subsided that day.
There are always unruly people who want to embezzle the property that should belong to the court.
Previously, the Liu family of Hezhou had been executed.
The Xie family was extremely wealthy, but they didn't even report the discovery of the iron mine. These people were extremely greedy.
The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with plundering the property of these families. If he wanted something, these families should give it to him voluntarily.
In the last Osmanthus Conspiracy, even though he and Chu Runxue had implicated both the Yang and Xie families, and even caused the Yang family to be destroyed, the emperor did not feel any guilt.
He thought that by favoring Concubine Xie and Concubine Yang once each, he was appeasing them and their families.
But at the moment, although the emperor was angry, he still had a hint of joy in his heart. If there was conclusive evidence that the Xie family had committed a crime, then he could arrest the Xie family.
No need to worry about an empty treasury anymore.
Chu Runxue can be said to have made great contributions.
The emperor seemed furious on the surface, but in fact he was happily waiting for Yin Shao to arrest the person.
Chu Heyi said nothing.
From the moment she saw the "letter of denunciation", she knew that Chu Runxue had big appetites. She not only wanted to overthrow the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and put it into her pocket, but also wanted to overthrow the Xie family, fill the national treasury, and make great contributions in front of the emperor.
Chu Heyi recalled that in his previous life, the Xie family completely collapsed at this time. Xie Lin vomited blood and was in a coma for a month. When he woke up, everything had changed.
Looking back now, the timing is consistent.
It turned out that this was the reason why Xie Lin was poisoned and fell into a coma for a month. After this incident in his previous life, his health deteriorated.
But that was in the past life. Everything is different in this life.
If Chu Runxue drags the Xie family into the battle, she will only end up in trouble.
Therefore, she was not in a hurry to give false testimony.
Instead, he smiled at his aunt and said, "You dote on your child so much that you lied to the emperor for her. This will only hurt her more."
Chu Heyi waited quietly.
The emperor was tired, so he went to the inner room to rest for a while, leaving the other courtiers in the Purple Palace discussing the matter.
Basically, everyone is saying that the Xie family is so bold that they dare to go against the imperial court even though they are so rich and powerful. They are simply seeking death.
Some people gloated: "The Xie family has been rich for too long, but they don't know how to make choices. It's time to give up their position and let other families have more opportunities."
Chu Heyi discovered that the Censor Wen Tingshen was unusually silent today, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Other courtiers also noticed it.
Yu Zijin took the initiative to call him: "Master Wen, what do you think of what the Xie family did?"
Wen Tingshen was a man of many words and loved to impeach officials. Yu Zijin asked this question because he wanted to hear Wen Tingshen criticize the Xie family so harshly that they had brought their current fate upon themselves.
Wen Tingshen glanced at him and said, "Master Yu, what you asked is really strange. What can I think? If the Xie family's entire property is really confiscated, can it still fall into my hands?"
He then said, "Your Majesty is acting in accordance with the laws of Daqi. What do you think I should think, Lord Yu?"
Yu Zijin: “…”
You shouldn't talk to this guy!
The Zichen Hall was bustling with activity, with only the Chu family still kneeling, waiting for the Xie family to be taken into the palace, interrogated again, and then the final verdict to be made.
However, something big had indeed happened to the Xie family. Since morning, the family seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. The atmosphere was tense and everyone was trembling with fear.
The old lady was crying in the room, and Nanny Ji was sighing but didn't know how to comfort her.
This morning, the old lady prepared the medicine as usual and personally brought it to Xie Lin's room, watching him drink it.
Not long after they left, Wangshan came to say that Xie Lin vomited blood and fell into a coma after drinking the medicine.
The court physician was asked to see the patient, but he just shook his head.
The old lady then asked people to invite other doctors outside, but they all sighed and were at a loss as to what to do, and asked everyone to prepare for the funeral.
"It was fine before, how come it suddenly became so serious?" the old lady asked, wiping her tears.
"The Third Master is already weak, and the cold weather is even more unbearable. Although winter has passed, spring has just arrived. The chilly spring weather is chilly, and the Third Master's body has reached its limit. It is possible that he can't bear it."
The doctor also said, "Many people with weak health often cannot survive the winter, and those who survive the winter pass away in the early spring."
The old lady couldn't stop crying. Anyone who saw it would feel heartbroken. They felt sad that Xie Lin collapsed at such a young age, and they also felt sad that the old lady was about to see her son die. It was really sad.
The old lady really couldn't bear to look at Xie Lin who had fallen asleep and looked pale, so she just told Wangshan: "Take good care of your Third Master and don't let anyone else disturb him." Then she went back to her own house in the yard.
Soon, everyone knew that the head of the Xie family had been in poor health after a cold winter. After taking the medicine, he vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell into a coma. It was feared that he would not live long.
But no one knew that at this moment, Xie Lin's yard was guarded tightly. All the people were trained by Xie Lin in the past. Everyone was very loyal. If there was a mouse approaching, they would pass the news to him immediately.
After everyone left, Xie Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, opened his narrow eyes and slowly sat up.
He glanced at the sky outside the window. There was no sunshine today, and the clouds were thick. The entire sky seemed to be covered by an invisible gray net.
"Third Master, the dummy is ready." Wangshan took out a dummy made of straw from behind the screen. The dummy had a gray-white mask on its face and looked lifelike.
Xie Lin got out of bed and changed his clothes. When he turned around, he saw that Wangshan had already placed the scarecrow on his bed, facing inwards. His inky long hair could be seen scattered on the pillow.
Wangshan let down the curtain again, and he could no longer see clearly the person inside, and could not tell whether he was dead or alive.
Xie Lin took Wangshan and left through the secret passage.
The exit of the secret passage is a forest. The forest belongs to the Xie family, and no one would set foot here unless there is something going on.
Coming out of the secret passage, there were two horses tied on the small road outside the forest. Xie Lin and Wangshan jumped on the horses at the same time and headed for the Osmanthus Garden in the west of the city.
Both of them were dressed in black and wore black veils on their heads to cover their faces.
When they approached the Osmanthus Garden, they dismounted from their horses and walked quietly.
They heard a loud noise from afar. Xie Lin and Wang Shan hid in the woods and saw that the soldiers were stacked up in layers and blocked the exit of the Osmanthus Garden.
Someone else was digging in a mountain next to the Osmanthus Garden and found iron ore.
"Sir Yin, we haven't found the Second Master of the Xie family and Xie Shaobai. I'm afraid they got wind of the situation in advance and fled out of fear of the crime!" The guards who had been searching everywhere came to report.
Yin Shao frowned: "You guys take a hundred people to search for Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai everywhere in the city. You guys take a hundred people to the Xie family and arrest the head of the Xie family and other people in charge!"
The people below responded quickly.
The sound of neat footsteps stepped on the ground and passed heavily by Xie Lin's ears.
Yin Shao arrested all the people working in Guihua Garden and went back to report to the emperor.
Wang Shan looked at the retreating guards, then at Xie Lin beside him, with pain in his eyes, and asked in a tense voice: "Third Master, are you okay?"
