After getting the exact information, the emperor secretly ordered Jin Wei to lead people to Jizhou.
At the same time, a secret letter was sent from prison to the Duke of Qin.
As the news spread to Kyoto, various forces gradually learned about the matter, and for a while they all disguised themselves and sneaked into Jizhou.
Cui Taishou received Chu Chengyao's secret message and hurriedly sent his confidants to rush to Jizhou day and night. He thought it would take a lot of effort to find the place, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time. Fortunately, he found it successfully half a day before Jin Wei entered Jizhou City. place.
He hurriedly picked out the valuable ones and moved away a batch of jewelry. They hid in the carriages in batches and dispersed out of the city.
As soon as Prefect Cui's men withdrew, Wanyuan Sect followed closely behind them, quickly plundered a batch of treasures, and evacuated half an hour before the Golden Guard arrived.
Even so, when Jin Wei went down to the secret room and saw the treasure house, he was still shocked by the remaining treasures.
He sent people to guard the treasure house for inventory, and arranged for people to take the token given by the emperor to convey the order to the general of Jizhou, ordering him to send troops to guard the outskirts of Zhuangzi, and no one could come near.
After arranging everything, he quickly sent someone back to Beijing to deliver the message.
Although the huge Zhuangzi is empty and cluttered, the exquisite pavilions and pavilions still reveal the gold and luxury of the past.
Now, all the valuable items have been moved away, just like the Xue family's situation.
When Jin Wei was sighing secretly, he heard his subordinates' reports and noticed that there were traces of Zhuangzi behind him, so he hurriedly followed him.
At the back door of Zhuangzi, messy ruts and footprints were everywhere. Upon seeing this, Jin Wei immediately ordered to follow the traces.
A confidant stepped forward and asked, "General, are you worried that someone has already arrived?"
Jin Wei squatted next to the carriage mark: "The ruts are so new and so deep. There must be something heavy on the carriage. We have to check it. There is no way that there is no one in such a big village. Please lead people carefully." Search it and find all the former servants of this village."
By the time my subordinates found all the Xue family servants in Jizhou City, it was already evening.
The stern-faced Jin Wei sat on the porch, showing an air of calmness and dignity.
In the courtyard in front of them, the servants of the Xue family were kneeling all over. They thought that the official in front of them was coming to arrest the servants of the Xue family because the Xue family was imprisoned. Every one of them had a pale face, and the timid ones were already frightened. sobbing softly.
Before anything happened to the Xue family, people would give them some face wherever they went. At that time, they were all proud of being the servants of the Xue family.
Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, and the Xue family was suddenly imprisoned, their property was confiscated, and they became bereaved dogs...
"After the Xue family was imprisoned, who has been here? When did you leave? Who is not here today? Did you take anything with you before leaving? Tell the truth and you can leave alive. If there is anything to hide, Then there’s no need to get out of this house alive again.”
When the servants heard this, they were stunned for a moment. When they heard that there was a way to survive, they immediately asked whether it was true or not.
Jin Wei took out the sword from his waist and stood on the ground with his hands on the handle of the sword. The cold light on the blade made everyone tremble, and they couldn't help but hunched over and shrank their necks.
"The words I say are as true as this knife. If anyone doesn't believe it, just come up and try it."
The servants did not dare to ask any more questions and answered honestly one by one in order.
"The chief steward from Kyoto came here on the third day after I was imprisoned. He said that I will never come back after being imprisoned. He asked us to leave Zhuangzi as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."
