On the fourth day, the silent undercurrent in the imperial city began to emerge. Various rumors and rumors against Xuan Qingwei spread from nowhere, even in the market.
It's not that it's related to the Qin family this time, but that there are various little stories about Xuan Qingwei's "illegal facts" and "if you do bad things, you will eventually suffer the consequences."
In a market where people generally have no education, the power of these stories is far more down-to-earth and "real" than notices written in black and white. Besides, with Xuan Qingwei’s evil deeds, who wouldn’t want them to be unlucky? Pooh! Deserve it!
this is the truth. Besides, who among the Xuanqing Guards thinks he is a good person? My brain is almost gone.
Such rumors were flying around, but Xuan Qingwei never responded, as if they had really forgotten the deadline given to them by the emperor.
Until the afternoon of the fourth day... Huang Ping, the foreign affairs steward of the Qin family, disappeared when he went out to inspect the shops in the city. Like a small stone dropped into a calm pool, a circle of ripples slowly spread out, stirring the pool water and starting to have twists and turns. .
That night, at Hai Zheng, Shen Hao, who had been "missing" for many days, finally appeared on the street. He was surrounded by a whole army of soldiers from the Black Flag Battalion organized by small banners, and a group of town commanders organized by the general banner. Guard.
In the middle of the night, this speeding team was like a pack of hungry wolves. With advance control, they quickly surrounded the Qin family's mansion, including all the surrounding streets.
In fact, it is not just the main house of the Qin family, but the other two houses of the Qin family are also like this now. Even the side house of the Qin family who stayed in their ancestral home in Jingdong has also gone to a small camp in Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen.
Xuan Qingwei has always done everything at once, and rarely does anything half done. And I like to do it most at night.
"boom!"
The door was violently broken open, and the servants who were on duty all night inside wanted to react immediately, but Xuan Qingwei, who rose up, cut off his heads one by one with a knife.
"If you encounter resistance, kill them!"
The Qin family, which was already in a state of panic, was completely upset. There were constant cries in the house, but there were only sporadic curses.
Who dares to scold? When you open your mouth, you will be slapped several times, and your back molars will be slapped out. Do you still scold me?
Because it was not a raid on the house, but only on people, no goods were transported out of the Qin Mansion, only people who were dragged out in strings.
No one among the diligent and miscellaneous slaves was spared, and naturally no one from the Qin family was spared.
"You dare to take me without His Majesty's warrant?!"
The right minister of household affairs, who was over fifty years old and had some cultivation, looked a little embarrassed at this time. He was still wearing a nightgown, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were red because of his rage. However, the incident happened suddenly, and before he could resist, he was suppressed and locked up. Now that he was dragged out, only his mouth could not be locked.
Qin Wenhe's Qi was very strong, and it was even more deafening at night.
Shen Hao waved his hand to the soldier who was about to lock Qin Wenhe's mouth to stop temporarily, and walked over with a smile.
"Qin Wenhe, you harbored important criminals and allowed them to continue to do evil. Although you hold an important position, you have used power for personal gain to become the backer of evil. Do you still have the nerve to say "Your Majesty"? Look! This is the warrant you want!"
After the interrogation in the afternoon, Huang Ping confirmed that Qin Yurou had an unusual relationship with Huang Ping. After that, he reported the progress of the case and applied for the arrest of Qin's family members to start a large-scale trial.
And because Qin Wenhe is the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he needs an order from the emperor to arrest the other party. Xuanqing Guard must also abide by this rule. Therefore, Pang Ban came to the palace to ask for the warrant an hour ago, and it was transferred to Shen Hao's hands before arriving.
Therefore, the warrant is genuine and there is no falsehood. It was approved by the emperor after reviewing the current two stages of Xuan Qingwei's case progress files.
In other words, Qin Wenhe had been abandoned by the emperor.
Not to mention the previous plan of the civil servants to reduce the emperor's voice in the temple, the Qin family's crime of "harboring important criminals" after losing the queen's protection was enough for the emperor to punish them harshly.
Qin Wenhe's eyes were about to burst. Even though he was furious now, he could still distinguish the authenticity of the warrant Shen Hao took out. That's why my heart is so desolate. But why is this happening?
Qin Wenhe still doesn't understand why his Qin family collapsed so suddenly. Who is harming them? ! Why do this?
"You...um..."
Just as he was about to ask a question, Shen Hao signaled the soldier to lock his mouth. Showing the emperor's warrant to the other party was considered as completing the procedure. Shen Hao hoped to ask questions after returning to Xuanqingwei's territory for every sentence he said, and to keep records.
"Sir, the Major Case Department of the Criminal Department rushed over together with the Imperial City Guards. Now we have deployed manpower to stop them outside."
"Garrison people? What are they here for?"
"It seems that because the Ministry of Punishment warned that a large number of swordsmen would appear in the city, they followed here to take precautions."
Shen Hao curled his lips. He had expected that something like this would happen before he came. After all, there were no more than five people in the entire country who knew about tonight's arrest operation in advance. I'm afraid the officials in the Ministry of Justice are shocked now, right?
It’s interesting to think about it. A group of people who didn't know anything were involved, and they always thought they were chess players, but in fact they were treated as flags without even realizing it. I don’t know what the expressions of the civil servants will be like when the brief summary of the case is finally announced. Will you put your face away and put it in your pocket?
Standing on the steps leading out of the Qin Mansion's gate, Shen Hao raised his eyes and saw the battle on the street.
On the left are the yamen servants, and the leader is none other than Tie Mian Xue Gui. His eyes seem to glow red in the light of the lantern, which is breathtaking when combined with the surrounding night and the chilling scene.
On the right are uniformly dressed garrison soldiers. The leader is a Fu Qianhu, a slightly fat man with a smile on his face, riding a tall horse. When he saw Shen Hao coming out, he raised his hand to express his attitude.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Shen Hao walked towards the guard first with a smile on his face.
For military positions, especially for garrisons in various places, Xuanqing Guards can be considered half of our own. Because there will always be many opportunities for both parties to cooperate, either to cooperate or to assist, or even to fight together to fight the enemy together. At least in Shen Hao's eyes, he felt very close to the military position of garrison status.
"Hahaha, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! Lin Chong, I haven't asked this gentleman for his name yet!" Seeing Shen Hao approaching, the man with a thousand households quickly got off his horse and took a few steps forward to meet him.
Just hearing this energetic look makes him look very military. The style is very similar to that of most of the people in the military that Shen Hao has come into contact with.
"Lin Qianhu is very polite. My Excellency, Shen Hao. Now that I am on business here, I would like to ask Lin Qianhu to make it easier for me. This is the warrant." The other party was polite, and Shen Hao was also polite. Besides, the people below had come to report to the garrison before. He was deceived by the Ministry of Punishment, so it is unlikely that he had any malicious intentions.
When Deputy Lin Qianhu saw the palm-sized red seal on the warrant, his smile froze, and he quickly closed it and returned it.
"Your Majesty, please don't delay Mr. Shen on his errands. Please don't blame me for disturbing you. I'll take my leave."
