The Xu family was now in chaos. The deposed Xu family's brother Xu Chu, who was also Xu Jieyu's father, was so frightened by Shao Wuji's murderous appearance that his legs became paralyzed.
Xu Chu trembled like chaff and said: "Captain Shao, I am unjustly accused, I am unjustly accused!"
Shao Wuji didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Xu Chu said: "After the deposed Xu family has severed ties with the Xu family, what she did has nothing to do with the Xu family!"
When the news of the deposed queen first came out, he was still lucky, thinking that the Holy Emperor would not kill them all just for the sake of the two princes.
However, he, the Xu family, and several followers of the Ninth Prince Faction knelt at the gate of the palace to plead guilty, but were expelled by the palace guards.
The aide told him that the top priority was to prove that the crimes committed by the deposed Xu family had nothing to do with the two princes, let alone the Xu family.
Xu Chu had no feelings for this sister at first, but now he was implicated by her, and even his own daughter was trapped in the palace.
Seeing that the deposed Mrs. Xu could no longer come out of Yong'an Lane, Xu Chu made a decisive decision, claiming that the deposed Mrs. Xu was vicious-hearted and unworthy of being a daughter of the Xu family, and severed ties with her.
I thought that after a period of calm, the storm would be over, but someone below sent word that Shao Wuji was collecting evidence of various crimes against the Xu family.
Xu Chu has been jumping up and down recently, asking for help everywhere. Although he was met with disappointment, at least some people from the Ninth Prince Sect, looking at the face of the two princes, promised to do their best to protect the Xu family.
Before he could make too many moves, Lieutenant Shao suddenly came in as if to raid the house.
Xu Chu screamed his injustice loudly.
But Shao Wuji still looked like a murderous god with an expressionless face. Just standing there was enough to remind people of his ferocity.
Shao Wuji waved his hand, and a eunuch came forward, holding the imperial edict and saying:
"The edict says: The guilty minister, Xu, despised the imperial power, wasted lives, was corrupt and perverted the law. Now it has been found out. I am pained to the core, and my anger cannot be overturned. I will be granted the title of Lien Lien, and the family property will be confiscated.
Kudos to this!"
Shao Wuji pulled out his heavy sword and was about to attack Xu Chu.
If Xu Chu was just scared just now, Xu Chu now is completely terrified.
He didn't understand what was going on, why did he suddenly join the family and kill them without mercy?
Xu Chu shouted: "This is impossible! There is no report from the Yushitai, no conviction from the Ministry of Punishment, and no review from Dali Temple. How could the Holy One issue such an edict! This is false! This edict is false!"
Shao Wuji looked at Xu Chu as if he were looking at a dead person.
This is the meaning of the existence of the Internal Security Department.
Now is the time.
It coincides with the Spring Festival, all government officials are on vacation, and the palace doors are closed.
Before anyone could react, they dealt with the Xu family first and took the opportunity to let the Internal Security Department show its face.
The courtiers had no time to comment, and everything was settled.
Xu Chu was still shouting, but Shao Wuji had already drawn his heavy sword.
Xu Chu subconsciously fled, and the next moment, his head flew out.
The Xu family members who witnessed all this screamed one by one.
Several officials sent by the Ninth Prince also hurried over after hearing the news that Captain Shao had led troops to the Xu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see the scene where Xu Chu's head fell to the ground.
An official said: "Lieutenant Shao! This case has not yet been tried! How can you kill someone and silence them!"
Shao Wuji thrust his heavy sword into the ground, looked back at the official and said, "The evidence is conclusive, why not?"
Shao Wuji's heavy sword was still stained with Xu Chu's blood, and some of it was inevitably splashed on the hem of his clothes.
When a member of the Xu family saw the official who came to speak for the Xu family, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and crawled over to seek shelter.
But before he had even taken two steps, he was stopped and killed by Shao Wuji.
There was a fishy smell in the air.
There was another scream.
The officials who spoke for the Xu family were frightened and took two steps back when they saw Shao Wuji's bloodthirsty appearance.
The official who just choked said: "Where is the evidence? What evidence do you have?"
Although he was questioning, his voice was trembling, and anyone could hear his fear.
Shao Wuji said indifferently: "The evidence has been sent to the palace gate and has been inspected by the Holy One. Are you questioning the Holy One's will?"
The eunuch who came with Shao Wuji broke into a cold sweat and presented the imperial edict to several adults.
Shao Wuji said: "My lords, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first. This Xu Mansion is stained with blood, so as not to dirty your shoes and socks."
After saying that, Shao Wuji swung his sword and killed another Xu family member.
He raised his hand to signal the people from the Internal Security Department to take action.
The Xu family suddenly turned into a Shura field, and people were wailing.
When the officials saw this scene, they were so frightened that they trembled with fear, supported each other, and left in a hurry.
After leaving, an official vomited it out and said, "What is Captain Shao doing!"
There is no such thing as handling a case.
The Holy One massacred the entire Xu family just through Shao Wuji's words.
If this precedent is set, whoever the Holy Emperor wants to attack in the future will not be a matter of a word from Taiwei Shao?
"We must not let Lieutenant Shao do this!"
"Enter the palace, enter the palace to see the Holy One!"
"Now that the palace doors are closed, all the government offices are on vacation, and the emperor's concubine is having a miscarriage, how could the emperor open the palace doors to summon us?"
"Calling all the major families together to discuss this matter."
...
The massacre of the Xu family lasted for a long time. The internal guards of the Internal Security Department stepped on the blood on the ground to count the Xu family's money and population.
An internal guard hurried to Shao Wuji's side and said, "Captain, Xu Ji, the second master of the Xu family, has disappeared!"
Shao Wuji frowned as he looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "I have to dig three feet into the ground to find them!"
The inner guards are like bees coming out of the nest and scattering in all directions.
Shao Wuji suddenly became irritable.
He thought his speed was fast enough, but unexpectedly, the news leaked out and Xu Ji ran away.
After a while, an internal guard came to report: "Lieutenant, we found a tunnel in Xu's house. I think Xu Ji has escaped from the tunnel."
Shao Wuji's face looked ugly.
He had killed too quickly just now and left no one alive. It was impossible to tell where Xu Ji had fled to.
Another internal guard came over and said: "Lieutenant, it's not good. The Xu family's property has also been transferred, and the Xu family's warehouse has become an empty shell."
Shao Wuji tightened his grip on the hilt of the heavy sword, and the bloodlust in his eyes surged again.
He said with a cold tone: "The whole city is wanted to arrest Xu Ji!"
The door of Xu Mansion was opened, and some internal guards came out with blood all over their bodies.
Some Kyoto people who came to see the excitement did not expect that as soon as they opened the door, they saw the Xu family bleeding like a river, and they fled in fear.
The news that Shao Wuji had wiped out the entire Xu family spread, and the reputation of the God of Killing was once again revealed.
Gu Yu came against the flow of people, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Xu's mansion.
Pingsha helped Gu Yu lift the car curtain, and Gu Yu saw the door of Xu Mansion open, revealing a sea of blood inside.
Shao Wuji happened to come out with a cold face and looked into Gu Yu's calm phoenix eyes.
A smile appeared on Gu Yu's face, she got out of the car and held her hands to Shao Wuji and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Shao."
Who doesn't know the hatred between Gu Yu and the Xu family? Shao Wuji is not surprised that Gu Yu appears here.
He ignored Gu Yu, mounted his horse and ran towards the palace.
Gu Yu lowered his eyes.
As expected of the loyal Captain Shao, he was as arrogant as ever.
If Shao Wuji came close, he would definitely be able to smell the blood on her body.
