The black cavalry of Jin Linwei rushed into Guo's house. The leader was Pei Heng, who was wearing a black brocade robe with cloud patterns, a gold-trimmed belt around his waist, and a jade crown binding his hair. He raised his hand slightly, showing off his majesty.
"kill."
She pursed her thin lips lightly and said a simple word. Behind her, dozens of guards in mysterious clothes and golden scales wore red belts and rushed into Guo's house quietly.
Pei Heng sat lazily on the horse, looking at the Guo family with cold eyes.
The murderers are bloodthirsty, and the evil sycophants are violent.
After a while, heart-rending roars and cries were heard from Guo's house, resounding throughout the sky. In a short time, the door of Guo's house turned into a mountain of corpses, and a river of blood flowed.
Guo Yun, who didn't wake up after the fall, doesn't have to wake up from now on.
When the fire was blazing into the sky, Jin Linwei moved boxes of gold and silver jewelry that the Guo family had collected over the years out of the secret room in an orderly manner, filling the whole yard.
Until dawn the next day, the Guo family's things had not been moved, and the yard could no longer be moved.
Pei Heng was sent directly to the palace.
Emperor Zhanghe was very happy.
His storehouse was full again.
In fact, Emperor Zhanghe had already known about Guo Qirui's corruption and bribery, but he just kept it secret.
It's like ordinary people raising pigs at home, knowing that they will die, so they raise them bigger, then raise them bigger, until they are fat and strong, and then choose a good day to kill the pigs.
Let the host family have a good year with a good harvest. This is the truth.
Xu Wanning also quickly learned that the Guo family was ransacked by Jin Lin guards.
Although the north of the city is far away from the south of the city, the news that the Guo family had been raided and executed, as well as the whole family, seemed to have wings and flew to every corner of Kyoto as dawn broke.
As soon as Xu Wanning got up, she heard Qing Xing's low voice, and she couldn't hide her joy: "No wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out to be because your family is rich."
"Who is it?" Xu Wanning lazily lifted the curtain and asked.
Qing Xing quickly came over and rolled up the curtain: "It's the Guo family. The Guo family was ransacked last night, and everyone in the house was ransacked and executed."
"Who ransacked the house?" Xu Wanning's mind moved, and someone faintly appeared in her heart.
"It's the team led by Jin Linwei, Governor Pei Dadu." Hongmei said.
Along with the news that the entire Guo family had been raided, there was also news that Pei Heng was extremely powerful, ruthless, cruel, and murderous.
The fear of being exterminated last time has not yet dissipated. Jin Linwei once again exterminated everyone. It was in the middle of the night. Many people were trembling, fearing that if they said something wrong or did something wrong, it would be their turn in the middle of the night.
The fear and hatred towards Pei Heng were like two entangled vines, growing stronger and stronger.
"There is one more thing." Hongmei decided to say: "Miss, the Guo Yun who bullied Qingxing last night went to Baihua Tower at night and had a conflict with the second son of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other party pushed Guo Yun down. On the second floor, I fell to my last breath."
Xu Wanning stood up quickly: "Change my clothes."
Seeing her cold expression, Hongmei Qingxing hurriedly stepped forward to dress Xu Wanning and comb her hair.
After just a cup of tea, Xu Wanning sat at the table. For the first time, she ate quickly, an egg, half a bowl of porridge, a plate of fish, and a plate of vegetables. After eating, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Let Fubai come in." .”
After Fubai came to Guangzhou, Xu Wanning said straight to the point: "I want to meet Pei Heng. Can you arrange it?"
"Yes!" Fu Bai agreed without thinking: "When do you want to meet me, Miss?"
"The sooner the better."
Fubai looked at Xu Wanning and felt very happy.
So you want to see the master? He must be missing his master.
"I'll make arrangements right away. Miss, wait patiently at home."
Fubai cupped his hands, turned around and left.
Xu Wanning looked at Fubai's leaving figure with inexplicable thoughts.
Yesterday, Guo Yun bullied Qing Xing and took Chen Wang away. Guo Yun was almost thrown to death at night. The Guo family was exterminated. Millions of taels of silver, countless treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were confiscated from the house. .
The Guo family has committed corruption, accepted bribes, and plundered people's wealth and wealth. They deserve to be copied and deserved to die.
Emperor Zhanghe's treasury was full and he killed a corrupt official, killing two birds with one stone.
In the whole thing, one person deserves it, another person gets it, and the other person gets nothing, but is saddled with a lot of infamy.
An hour later, Pei Heng was sitting on the high wall of the Lihua Courtyard, shaded by lush pear trees, playing with a green-skinned pear in his hand.
Xu Wanning: "..."
She remembered that Fubai had destroyed one of her trees last time, and now his master had plucked another pear from her.
"You two, master and servant, are really good spenders." Xu Wanning complained without even thinking about it: "One destroys my tree, and the other picks my pears."
Pei Heng could see Xu Wanning's anger, "Can't you pick it off?"
"It hasn't grown up yet, so what did you do with it?" Xu Wanning was a little angry, "It can't be eaten."
Pei Heng brought the pear to his mouth and took a bite: "Who said you can't eat it? You can eat it obviously!"
The green-skinned pear was small, and Pei Heng bit it down to the core in just a few bites. Seeing how he was eating it with gusto without frowning, Xu Wanning was convinced that the pear was really delicious.
"Delicious?"
"It's delicious." Pei Heng couldn't help but nodded: "It's sweet and crispy."
Xu Wanning deliberately placed her hand on a pear: "How about eating another one?"
Pei Heng refused quickly: "This pear is so delicious, let's let it grow bigger. It will definitely taste better when it grows up!"
Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "Liar."
Monk Pei Heng was confused: "I didn't lie to you."
"This pear is obviously very unpalatable." Green-skinned pears that have not grown up are sour and astringent, making them difficult to swallow.
Pei Heng shook his head: "With food, it can fill your stomach. No matter how unpalatable it is, it can also be a life-saving thing."
Xu Wanning looked at Pei Heng in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
Pei Heng smiled and revealed the matter, jumped off the courtyard wall, opened the branches, and walked towards Xu Wanning with a smile: "I heard Fubai say, you want to see me?"
Xu Wanning nodded: "I want to know about the Guo family, but if I can't tell you, just pretend I didn't ask."
"There's nothing that can't be said." Pei Heng lifted his robe and sat down in front of the stone table. Xu Wanning sat opposite him and subconsciously poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
It’s hot in summer, so clear the fire.
"Guo Qirui's father-in-law has served as a local official for twenty years. Someone has already reported his greed, corruption and bribery to Kyoto. The emperor asked me to investigate and I have evidence that Guo Qirui is playful and accepting bribes."
Pei Heng said: "But I don't know where his property was at that time. In order to make him willing to bring the gold and silver to Beijing, the emperor promoted him to Kyoto and put him under his nose."
"So, it's only a matter of time before his house is confiscated?"
