A big event happened in Mingzhou Prefecture today.
The Zhao family was ransacked.
This news followed the prefect's decision and quickly spread throughout Mingzhou Prefecture like a gust of wind. Many wealthy families were panicked and had their own thoughts; while the common people clapped their hands and cheered, braving the rain and snow to go to the door of Zhao's house to see
lively.
The Zhao family was already guarded by government officials, but now more government officials in soap uniforms rushed over, accompanied by Yang Tongzhi who read out the verdict.
He shouted loudly, not only to let the Zhao family listen, but also to let people watching the fun in the open or in the dark know: "... Zhao Yuhuan and his son conspired to abduct and traffic children, invaded people's fertile land, forced good people to be humble, and defied the imperial decree to hide hidden land.
Hidden house, the crime is so serious that it cannot be forgiven. Therefore, the property of Zhao's father-in-law was confiscated. Zhao Yuhuan's family members except the female family, women, children and children under three years old were sentenced to exile. They were not allowed to serve as officials in the court for three generations. Anyone who disobeyed others was punished.
Wait a minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noisy discussion around him. Everyone was talking about it, and some people even clapped their hands and cheered.
After Yang Tongzhi gave an order, the government officials opened the gate of Zhao's Mansion, revealing the interior with carved beams and painted buildings. However, it was now deserted and deserted, with only one gatekeeper slumped to the ground in fright.
The Zhao family is coming to an end.
As the government officials filed in, everyone had this thought in their minds.
The scene inside is not visible to outsiders, but they can hear the noises, arguments, crying, and curses inside... There are joys and sorrows that are difficult for outsiders to see clearly, ups and downs, and some good people can't hold back, and even get strong.
Be brave enough to poke your head around.
However, soon there were government servants escorting the Zhao family out. The troublemakers were so frightened that they left and looked at them secretly. These former high-ranking sons and daughters of the Zhao family were like bereaved dogs, haggard and haggard.
In addition to the men of the Zhao family who were escorted, the government officials seized countless amounts of gold and silver, not to mention some collections of paintings. Countless gold and silver treasures were escorted onto the carriage. Of course, there were also various account books that were searched.
Deeds, etc., these are the most important assets of the Zhao family.
The people who were watching were dazzled by the various things being loaded onto the carriage, and their eyes flashed with golden light. With so many good things, if they secretly hid a little, it would be enough for them to eat and drink for most of their lives.
Some people even cast cryptic glances at the government officials, wondering if they had gained any benefit from it.
It was an unspoken rule to steal some benefits when searching a house. Yang Tongzhi was present and turned a blind eye, so the government officials were particularly calm.
The ones who felt uncomfortable were those members of the Zhao family who were "invited" by the government officials. Whether they were the men who were about to be exiled or the women and children, they saw that the house they had lived in for many years was sealed by the government, and their eyes were caught off guard and panicked.
and confused.
How did things develop into what they are today?
These days the clan leader was arrested, and they felt uneasy. Although they were guarded by the yamen, they also spent some money to buy information. They learned that the clan leader invited Concubine Zhao to smoothen the relationship, and even King Luo was invited.
I thought that this incident was just a false alarm, but who would have thought that what I was waiting for was the shocking news that the building collapsed.
The Zhao family...the lintel of the Zhao family that the ancestors worked hard to build for hundreds of years can’t even save the ancestral home?!
