Chapter 312 The destruction of the wealthy clan in Minghua City
Kyoto.
Inside the official residence.
Mo Tianyu looked at Xie Lingyun in front of him and was very surprised.
He did not expect that Xie Lingyun would come to him, nor did he expect that Wu Sheng would introduce him to Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun was also a well-known figure in the Four Islands. Seeing Xie Lingyun coming to ask for help in a low voice, Mo Tianyu felt a little funny.
What have these wealthy people been doing!
Dali has replaced the Luofu dynasty for several months. If the Xie family truly surrendered to the court, they should have come to Kyoto to surrender long ago.
However, the Xie family has been quiet for the past few months. It wasn't until other wealthy families in Minghua City caused big trouble that they thought of temporary measures?
Mo Tianyu didn't know how to evaluate Xie Lingyun.
Thanks to Lingyun for being smart, but he didn't seize the opportunity.
You may say that Lingyun is stupid, but now he seems to be able to bend and stretch.
"You shouldn't come to me about this matter, but should go directly to Shuntian Mansion!" Mo Tianyu said.
"I would like to ask you to help me introduce Shuntian Prefecture Yin!" Xie Lingyun said.
After hearing this, Mo Tianyu fell into deep thought.
Yin Lutong of Shuntian Prefecture was also an acquaintance with him.
But it's really hard for him to interfere in this matter.
Because he is now the Zuo Deputy Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The duty of the Zuo Deputy Censor is to assist in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and assist the work of the Zuo Censor, which is a third-rank official position.
In principle, he has supervisory responsibilities over Lu Tong and Shuntian Yamen.
If he were to interfere in the Shuntian government affairs, wouldn't that be an abuse of power?
But then again, this matter is not his private matter, but a court matter.
The Xie family's willingness to surrender to the court seems to be no harm to the court, and it will also save the court a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Mo Tianyu was silent, Xie Lingyun said eagerly: "As long as you are willing to help me get through this difficult time, I am willing to give you one million silver coins as a reward!"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Tianyu was stunned. He looked at Xie Lingyun with incredible eyes.
That look was like looking at a fool.
"Senior, do you know my responsibilities?"
Xie Lingyun was slightly stunned, "I don't know very well!"
Mo Tianyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, "I serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to supervise all officials!"
"It is one of my duties to impeach officials for accepting bribes."
You come and bribe the censor!
Aren't you here to cause trouble?
It’s not that the censor cannot be bribed, but where is this place?
This is an official residence, a temporary residence for officials from various ministries and yamen. If you bribe officials here, are you afraid that others will not know?
And the Imperial City Division is right next door.
Mo Tianyu didn't even know what to say.
This can't be blamed on Xie Lingyun. Xie Lingyun didn't know much about Dali's court organization, and he didn't know what Mo Tianyu's specific official position was when he came.
"That's all, that's all! Just follow me!"
Mo Tianyu said helplessly.
Wu Sheng really gave him a big trouble.
After that, Mo Tianyu took Xie Lingyun out of the official residence and went to the Imperial City Division next door.
After some communication, he met Wang An, the admiral of the Imperial City Department.
Informed Wang An of Xie Lingyun's intention.
Wang An looked at Xie Lingyun, his round face full of bad luck.
He was punished by Qin Wei for the affairs involving the wealthy people in Minghua City, so it was strange that he could look good on Xie Lingyun.
In front of the Imperial City Secretary Gate.
Wang An said with an unhappy face: "Master Mo, are you trying to make our family look bad?"
Mo Tianyu smiled and said, "How could it be? I just want to find some credit for my father-in-law!"
"What credit?" Wang An asked.
Mo Tianyu said: "This matter in Minghua City should be the matter of Shuntian Mansion, but my father-in-law was punished by His Majesty for this, so he needs to make meritorious service for his crime, right?"
"If my father-in-law can handle the problem of Minghua City well, this should be considered a credit!"
Wang An's eyes lit up when he heard this, "But this is a matter of Shuntian Mansion!"
"My father-in-law, you can go to Shuntian Mansion to ask Mr. Lu Tong for help!" Mo Tianyu said with a smile.
It is not appropriate for him to go to Lu Tong, but it is more appropriate for Wang An to go to Lu Tong.
The Imperial City Secretary is His Majesty's eyes and ears, but does not actually belong to the court. They do not need to follow the rules of the court.
Wang An thought for a while and understood what Mo Tianyu meant.
"Master Mo is still thoughtful!"
Mo Tianyu shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate for me to come forward in this matter, it's most appropriate for the prince to come forward!"
"That's fine!"
"This is just a favor from our family, Sir Mo!" Wang An said.
Mo Tianyu smiled and nodded, and then introduced Xie Lingyun to Wang An.
Wang An didn't waste any time and said directly: "You can come with our family!"
Immediately, he took Xie Lingyun to Shuntianfu Yamen.
In this way, Xie Lingyun met Lu Tong again at Shuntianfu Yamen.
Lu Tong still had the same skinny appearance and swarthy complexion, looking like an old country farmer.
Lu Tong was very surprised by Wang An's arrival, but he still went out to greet Wang An in person.
The two exchanged polite greetings before Wang An explained his purpose and introduced Xie Lingyun to Lu Tong.
After Lu Tong heard this, he frowned.
In the lobby of Shuntian Government Office.
Lu Tong said to Wang An: "My father-in-law, please take a moment to speak!"
After that, the two left the lobby and came to the study, leaving Xie Lingyun alone sitting in the lobby with a solemn expression.
To be honest, Xie Lingyun felt very humiliated at this time.
As a powerful person in the Jingzhao Realm, he is not a guest wherever he goes.
But in the past two days, he was first rejected by Wu Sheng. After arriving in Kyoto, neither Mo Tianyu nor Wang An gave him a good look.
This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the safety of the Xie family, he would have left long ago.
In the study.
Lu Tong said: "My father-in-law is late. Lord Xiongba of the Enshrining Court has already left for Minghua City this morning!"
"What!" Wang An was shocked.
Lu Tong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty has already asked about this matter, so this matter is not our Shuntian Mansion Office's business."
"After receiving His Majesty's order, I have handed over the matter to the Enshrining Court!"
Shuntianfu Yamen is just an administrative yamen, and it does not have strong force itself. For matters involving force, Shuntianfu Yamen will usually hand it over to the Zhenwu Division, but now the Zhenwu Division obviously cannot handle the affairs of the wealthy families in Minghua City, so
This matter finally fell on the shoulders of the Enshrined Court.
This was also the first task that Xiongba took over after its establishment, so Xiongba took charge of it himself.
Wang An was depressed.
Originally, he was thinking of relying on the Xie family to surrender to make amends, but now that the heroes have taken action, the Xie family seems to have become a hot potato.
"Can we still catch up with Lord Xiongba?" Wang An asked.
Lu Tong thought for a while and said, "It should be possible. Lord Xiongba is going with the people from the Zhenwu Division. It is estimated that he will arrive at Minghua City tomorrow."
"Then catch up with Lord Xiongba!" Wang And said.
"But Lord Xiongba may not listen to our opinions!" Lu Tong said.
Wang An said helplessly: "You don't need Lord Xiongba to listen to our opinions, we just need to transport Xie Ling to Lord Xiongba!"
The problem now is not what Xiongba will think, but that they can no longer let Xie Lingyun stay in Kyoto.
No matter how you say it, Xie Lingyun is still a powerful person in the Jingzhao Realm. If he goes crazy in Kyoto, who knows what trouble he will cause.
"Should we ask an adult to help?" Lu said.
Wang An thought for a while and said, "You need to stabilize Xie Lingyun first, and we'll call for help right away."
At this moment, Wang An felt like scolding her mother.
I originally thought this was a good thing, but unexpectedly, Xie Lingyun turned into a hot potato.
If Xie Lingyun knew that Dali Chaotang had sent people to Minghua City to take action against the wealthy families in Minghua City, it would be strange if Xie Lingyun didn't go crazy.
After saying that, Wang An hurriedly left Shuntian Mansion Office through the back door.
About two-quarters of an hour later, while Xie Lingyun was waiting impatiently in the lobby of Shuntian Government Office, Wang An came with Cao Zhengchun.
There are not many powerful people in the Jingzhao Realm that he can invite, and Cao Zhengchun is the one he is most familiar with.
When Xie Lingyun saw Cao Zhengchun, his expression immediately became wary.
But Cao Zhengchun looked him over and said, "Come with us!"
Xie Lingyun glanced at Wang An dullly, and then at Lu Tong next to him.
Now he is like a marionette, being led everywhere.
The key is that he is still confused and doesn't know what to do.
Wang An said: "Lord Xiongba is already on his way to Minghua City. If we leave now, we can still catch up. If we go too late~~"
He didn't say the next words, but Xie Lingyun already understood that if he went late, the Xie family might be gone.
Xie Lingyun was angry and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
I am a fisherman and a fisherman!
Today's Xie family has no chance to resist in front of Dali.
"Let's go!"
Cao Zhengchun left a sentence, turned around and left the lobby.
Xie Lingyun had no choice but to surrender to Wang An and Lu Tonggong, and then followed Cao Zhengchun.
The two of them left Kyoto on horseback and ran towards Minghua City.
Inside the imperial city.
Qin Wei rolled his eyes helplessly after listening to Xiao Shunzi's report.
What a mess this is!
When Mo Tianyu and Xie Lingyun approached Wang An, Wang An sent someone to report the matter to him.
Originally, Qin Wei didn't care about this matter. Even though the Xie family had considerable influence in Minghua City, to him, the emperor, the Xie family was not worth mentioning at all.
So after hearing this, he didn't take it to heart.
But the subsequent development made him feel depressed.
"If you pass on the decree, from now on, all matters involving powerful people in the Jingzhao Realm will be handed over to the Enshrining Court."
"There is no need to lead people around in various yamen!"
Qin Wei said dullly.
It's really not Mo Tianyu and Wang An's fault for this matter.
Mo Tianyu just wanted to help the court solve a problem, and Wang An just wanted to make meritorious deeds, and he had already reported it in time.
The real problem is that the court officials have no experience in handling this kind of thing.
In fact, matters involving powerful people in the Jizhao Realm are not matters that the various ministries and yamen can handle. They should be handed over directly to the Enshrined Court, which will handle them.
If Wang An had taken Xie Lingyun directly to the enshrinement courtyard at the beginning, there would be no need for him to rush to find Cao Zhengchun later.
…
The next morning.
When the morning sun falls on the streets of Minghua City.
Xiongba led three hundred elite Zhenwu divisions to the gate of Minghua City.
Xie Lingyun and Cao Zhengchun were following behind him.
At midnight yesterday, Xie Lingyun and Cao Zhengchun caught up with Xiong Ba.
Xiongba decided to stay with the Xie family without much consideration.
The reason was that Xie Lingyun was willing to hand over 80% of the Xie family's property and expressed his full support to the court in the future.
Industry is only secondary, what Xiongba really values is Xie Lingyun's attitude.
As long as Xie Lingyun and the Xie family are really willing to serve Dali, Xiongba doesn't mind giving them a chance.
After all, Xie Lingyun is also a strong Jingzhao realm, and the Xie family also has many outstanding children. If they are willing to join Dali, it will help improve Dali's overall strength.
As for whether Xie Lingyun would be dissatisfied because of this, Xiongba didn't care.
Xie Lingyun is a smart man, otherwise he would not be so eager to go to Kyoto.
If Xie Lingyun hadn't been wise enough, today would have been the day the Xie family was exterminated.
"Sir, just leave the rest to me!"
Standing in front of the city gate, Xie Lingyun said.
Xiongba looked sideways at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Then I'll bother you!"
When Xie Lingyun heard this, his face showed joy, and he quickly said: "It is an honor for me to serve you!"
Xiongba nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Xie Lingyun drove his horse forward and called the city gate open.
There is no government office in Minghua City, so the people responsible for guarding the city are the children of their Xie family.
Even most of the troops in the city are the children and servants of their Xie family.
In the absence of government agencies, the wealthy families were the managers of Minghua City.
Afterwards, Xie Lingyun entered Minghua City, while Xiongba and others waited quietly outside the city.
About two-quarters of an hour later, there were waves of killing cries in the city. It was obvious that the Xie family had taken action against other wealthy families.
The shouting of death lasted for two hours and did not stop until noon.
Xie Lingyun walked out of Minghua City covered in blood. Behind him were hundreds of Xie family elites who were also covered in blood.
"I thank Lingyun to welcome you to the city!"
Xie Lingyun came to Xiongba, knelt down and worshiped.
At this time, his attitude was very humble, because now was the last moment that decided the life and death of the Xie family.
Xiong Ba looked at Xie Lingyun's slightly thin figure with a faint smile on his face.
This Xie Lingyun is really a talent.
Perhaps doing so seemed spineless, but his humble gesture was able to save the Xie family.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, sir!" Xie Lingyun said.
"Enter the city!"
Xiong Ba waved his hand and drove his horse directly into the city.
Xie Lingyun quickly followed him, his expression finally relaxed.
