Song Xuan had a smile on his lips, "You did a good job this time!"
Hu Hai said with a flattering look on his face: "It is Hu Hai's honor to work for you! It is a shame for me, the Hu family, to be associated with those families that oppress the people and harm the loyal!"
At this moment, the heads of the Zhou family, Sun family and other clans were all stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
We have a traitor among us?
No wonder,
No wonder the mob here had just entered the city, and the Xuanyi Wei Tiqi and Yanyuan Salt Soldiers from the other side began to enter the city to quell the chaos.
No wonder, the city guard garrison general has been silent for a long time, as if he is dead and cannot even send a message back.
After working on it for a long time, it was Hu Hai, the traitor, who had already told Song Xuan their plan. They had already dug the hole, waiting for them to jump in!
"Hu Hai, you traitor!"
"Our eight major families have always been in the same spirit. If we fall, what good will it do to you?"
"Shabi, do you really think Song Xuan will treat you well in the future? He dares to kill the princess, so he still cares about you, a rip-off?"
"You can be a human being, but you insist on being a dog, Hu Hai. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
The heads of the several clans looked fierce, and they all wanted to eat Hu Hai alive.
Compared with the enemy Song Xuan, they hated the traitor even more.
It's like two armies fighting against each other. Both sides put their chariots and horses into a fight. In the end, even if they lost, they would admit that their skills were inferior.
But in the end, before they even started taking action, the traitor Hu Hai leaked all their plans. How could they not hate losing at the hands of such a villain?
After being scolded and scolded, Hu Hai looked a little embarrassed at first, but the next moment, he stood up suddenly, pointed at several clan leaders and started scolding them.
"You old dogs, I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"You are said to be one of the eight major families in Yangzhou, but every time you eat meat, my Hu family can't even get a mouthful of soup. How dare you say that you are the same as me?"
"You want to rebel, why should I follow you to rebel! Just because of the three melons and two dates you gave me, or because you come to sleep with my wife every now and then?
Don't think I don't know anything about the good things you did with that bitch.
I have always known it, but I just pretended not to see it. I have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to send you all to hell! "
"Fortunately, I'm waiting for you, the Governor of Zhenfu, and I'm waiting for you, Master Qingtian from Yangzhou City!"
After saying that, Hu Hai knelt down next to Song Xuan again, kowtowing full of admiration, "Hu Hai, on behalf of the millions of people in Yangzhou City, I would like to thank you for your kindness. Thank you for bringing order to the chaos and returning Yangzhou City to a bright and clear sky!"
Song Xuan coughed lightly.
Although it's nice to flatter you, your photos are too high-profile. Can you be more subtle?
Next to Song Xuan, Hua Manlou, an innate master who was responsible for guarding, could not help but blink his blind eyes, as if he wanted to take a good look at where the master found this person.
Song Qian, on the other hand, who originally had a cold look on her face, felt much more pleasing to her eyes when she looked at Hu Hai's fat body. This old boy was very discerning, and he could see how extraordinary his brother was at a glance.
"Hey..." She poked Hu Hai's fat body with the scabbard, "Is your wife really having an affair with that Zhou behind your back?"
The expression on Hu Hai's face is wonderful.
She wanted to cry a little and was a little angry, but after seeing Song Qian standing casually in front of Song Xuan, she forced a smile on her face and nodded awkwardly.
"Not only the one named Zhou, but that old guy named Xiao has also been there!"
Song Qian gave him a thumbs up with some admiration.
People who are self-conscious are really powerful. They can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, endure for many years, and defeat all their opponents in one day. This kind of people are really cruel.
The next moment, Song Qian stood up from the ground and stood on an attic. Standing high up, she had a panoramic view of the entire Xiao family.
Wherever anyone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, she casually sent a sword energy down. Wherever the sword energy passed, a breath as cold as winter hit her face. Anyone who was hit by the sword energy was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
The sword was raised and dropped, and after a few sword energy, everyone in the Xiao family, whether they were clan members or ordinary maids and servants, had completely given up the idea of escape, and they all knelt on the ground, waiting for Xuanyi Wei Ti to ride. of capture.
...
The next morning, the city-wide martial law order imposed by the Governor was finally lifted.
The people walked out of their homes nervously and kept looking around.
The streets were empty, and the corpses on the ground had been cleared away long ago, but the dried blood had not yet been cleaned up, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
Everywhere you can see yamen servants from various yamen cleaning the streets with buckets, and even the city guards were mobilized to wash the floors.
The city guard general had been killed by Lu Xiaofeng, and now the acting general was a young captain who swore allegiance to Song Xuan.
In the Xuanyiwei Yamen, from time to time you can see groups of people crying for their fathers and mothers and being escorted to prison. These people are members of the Zhou family, the Sun family and other major families.
Last night, following Song Xuan's order, the eight major families in Yangzhou City, except for the Hu family who was the first to take refuge, all had their homes confiscated by Xuan Yiwei on charges of treason.
There are already thousands of direct and collateral clan members captured from these families alone.
As for the other branch tribesmen, they are estimated to be more numerous, and Xuanyiwei's imperial prison is far from enough.
As a result, Song Xuan asked Hu Hai to vacate a manor, build temporary cells, and stuff the prisoners in one after another.
At this time, Song Xuan was sitting in his study, sorting out the evidence of the major families' rebellion. Some of them were real, and some of them were beaten into submission in prison.
Song Xuan needed to select some evidence that seemed reasonable and convincing from these messy confessions and write it into the memorial to the emperor.
Of course, oral confession evidence and the like were of secondary importance. Song Xuan knew without even thinking about it that what the emperor probably cared about most was not how many people died or how many big families were destroyed, but how much money was confiscated.
Song Xuan was also waiting. When the follow-up Xuanyi guards finished counting, in order to avoid any accidents, he sent Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou out at the same time to supervise the people who counted the property.
Kick, kick, kick! !
Song Qian walked in cheerfully wearing her special waterproof leather boots. As soon as she entered the door, she picked up her brother's big red robe and started drinking.
Song Xuan said with some disgust: "Won't you pour yourself another glass?"
Song Qian looked unconcerned, "I've been busy since last night, and I haven't even had time to drink. I still hate drinking your cup of tea. Landlords and wealthy people are not as picky as you."
Song Xuan said speechlessly: "Tell me, is Prince Huai's Mansion ready?"
Song Qian nodded, "The salt soldiers and our Xuanyi Guards have surrounded the entire palace. I'm just waiting for your word whether we want to take action or not."
"hold on."
"What are you waiting for? Let's quickly cut through the mess and finish these matters. Huang Rong and I have made an appointment. I'll help her find someone when I'm done."
"Waiting for the statistical results of silver to come out!"
Song Xuan tapped his fingers casually on the desk and said with a smile: "How much money do you think it takes to make the emperor not care about the death of a prince, and even quarrel with the civil servants of the dynasty for this?"
