Chapter 662: House Search 4
Zhou Xian convicted him very far-fetchedly and could not withstand a few scrutiny. He just put his hope on Emperor Chongzhen's willingness to reform the Beijing camp. Therefore, Zhou Xian took a lot of risks for this matter.
Once the Xue Mansion is copied on this ground, there is no sufficient evidence to prove that Xue Lian really wants to rebel. At that time, those who have conflicts with Zhou Xian use this to attack him, and things will become a mess.
But what Zhou Xian didn't expect was that he was sleepy! Xue Lian sent a big soft and comfortable pillow. With the resistance of these servants holding weapons in front of him, who would dare to say that Xue Lian was not plotting to rebel?
Seeing that the Xue Mansion was guarding the backyard gate and could not break through for a while, Zhou Xian shouted loudly: "Xue Lian rebelled, do you guys also want to rebel?"
Xue Lian was stunned and did not respond for a long time.
A trusted servant looked at Xue Lian and said, "Hao, Marquis, are you going to rebel?"
Xue Lian kicked him to the ground and said angrily: "I'm going to rebel against your grandmother, how could I rebel? Brothers, don't listen to him, he is disrupting our military morale. Drive them out of the yard. After this matter, I will give each of you a thousand taels of silver."
Xue Lian ruled the Shenshu Camp for many years. Although he was not very good at governing, he had already taken troops and knew that his morale would not be released at this time. Once the crime of rebellion was established, it would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans. He was usually stingy and didn't care about so much, so he directly awarded a reward of 1,000 taels of silver.
Although he felt a lot of pain as soon as he finished speaking, he could only make up his mind at this moment.
After hearing this, Zhou Xian couldn't help but shook his head. Xue Lian learned military tactics and a half-baked one. It is useful to reward silver, but it depends on when?
At this moment, the two sides were in a fight, and some people were still worried about whether Xue Lian was rebelling. But when they heard that he awarded a reward of 1,000 taels, they believed it. If Xue Lian had just committed a minor crime and was arrested, they would be released in a few days. Why would he have to award such a high reward?
At this moment, the servants were extremely timid and fearful, and knew that once they were defined as rebellion, they were not only themselves, but also their families. Although they were still resisting due to the situation, they were far less determined than they were at the beginning.
Xia Shu and Meng Yue took advantage of the situation and rushed forward and were admitted to the hospital.
Xue Lian stood behind, sweating from his forehead layer by layer, and he waved his knife to urge his subordinates to step forward, but he could not stop their retreat.
With a scream, another servant fell to the ground.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. Zhou Xian turned his head and saw Gao Qiqian and some people running quickly towards him, at least nearly a hundred.
Xue Lian also saw Gao Qiqian and shouted: "Duke Gao, save me, Zhou Xian framed me."
Fang Jing stood behind with more than twenty officers and slapped Gao Qiqian away, "How dare you idiots break into the Marquis' mansion? Why don't we get out of the house?"
Zhou Xian frowned, hesitated for a moment, took off the longbow, pulled the string and shot.
The feather arrow came out and passed through the crowd, hitting Xue Lian's forehead.
Xue Lian said "ah" and then fell to the ground.
Zhou Xian shouted loudly: "Xue Lian, the conspirator, has been killed, and if anyone dares to resist, he will be punished and punished by nine clans."
The soldiers around him shouted loudly: "The thief chief is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." The sound was shocking and the momentum was amazing.
Everyone saw Xue Lian lying on the ground with a feather arrow inserted on his forehead, and their hearts fell to the bottom of the valley. One of them put down his weapon, and then many people gave up on resistance.
Gao Qiqian was shocked and quickly stepped forward with a few soldiers, exploring Xue Lian's breath, which was already dead. He was ecstatic in his heart and shot the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty himself. How can you escape from this crime? He snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Xian and said, "Zhou Xuanwu, you are so powerful. You dare not shoot the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty by orders. Our family wants to see how you want to explain to the Emperor."
Zhou Xian glanced at Gao Qiqian and said, "Eunuch Gao, I'm afraid that it's not Zhou who wants to explain, but you!"
Gao Qiqian snorted coldly: "What explanation do we want?"
Zhou Xian handed the bow and arrow to a personal soldier next to him and said coldly: "There are many things you want to explain! For example, where were your soldiers transferred from? When did you, a eunuch, have the power to transfer troops? In addition, Xue Lian conspired to rebel, why did you appear here and try to stop the official from arresting him? Are you his accomplice?"
Gao Qiqian didn't expect Zhou Xian to turn the tables and fill his chest with anger, but he was suddenly stunned. "Rebellion, what rebellion?"
Zhou Xian pointed to the surrounding servants and said, "Xue Lian transferred more than 2,000 soldiers and nearly 4,000 military horses from the Beijing camp around the years. Why do you think he, a marquis, used so many military funds? What else can he do if he is not rebelling? Also, look at these people, they all hold standard weapons from the court. A marquis, don't tell me that he has so many people and has so many weapons for fun."
Gao Qiqian's face changed and he said, "He, Xue Lian, how could he rebel?"
Zhou Xian said in a deep voice: "The facts are in front of you. Do Eunuch Gao still defend Xue Lian? Well, let's go to the palace to see His Majesty now and see who he believes more."
Gao Qiqian's face turned pale and asked, "Aren't you circumventing the Xue Mansion without an imperial edict? Why, Your Majesty also knows about this?"
Zhou Xian snorted coldly: "How did Eunuch Gao know that I was searching the Xue Mansion without imperial edict? Could it be that you have arranged someone by your side? "
"No, absolutely not." Gao Qiqian felt that he was getting more and more wrong with his words. He was silent for a while and said, "Since Lord Zhou is executing the emperor's order, then Gao has nothing to say. I, let's leave now."
Zhou Xian said: "Since Mr. Gao has come, why are you so anxious to leave? I will report the details of this matter to Your Majesty later. Since Mr. Gao is already here, I will go to see Your Majesty with me later! You have to explain to Your Majesty why you are here! Everyone will be punished by traitors. If Mr. Gao is really Xue Lian's accomplice, then you really can't leave."
When Meng Yue and others heard Zhou Xian's words, they all pointed their swords at Gao Qiqian. The subordinates brought by Gao Qiqian also held swords at each other, and the situation was tense.
Gao Qiqian's face turned pale and he roared angrily: "What are you doing? Put down your weapons for me." Gao Qiqian knew that once he started, he would really become Xue Lian's accomplice.
Seeing his subordinates put down their weapons, he walked to Zhou Xian and whispered: "Zhou Xian, don't be too arrogant. Our family has agreed not to care about this."
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Eunuch Gao, you came so timely, don't you just want to see Zhou Xian's jokes? Now you can't see the jokes, and you want to get rid of your relationship quickly. Things are not that simple."
Gao Qiqin blushed and said, "How do you think we can let go?"
