Yun Ke's actions were quick, and with the imperial decree, he mobilized the Imperial Forest Army and left the palace, heading straight for Xia's house.
It was already late at night, and the footsteps of the Imperial Forest Army were even louder in the dark night. The Xia Mansion was like a silent monster crawling in the dark night.
There is not even a wind lamp to illuminate the front door.
After Yun Ke ordered people to surround Anlehou's mansion, he ordered people to go forward and smash the door.
The door opened quickly. A sleepy old man opened the dark door and asked, "Who is it?" The torches in the hands of the guards outside had already illuminated the door, and the old man's eyes were stabbed a little bit.
As soon as Yun Ke waved his hand, the Imperial Forest Army immediately rushed in, pushing the old man who opened the door aside.
Xia Yan was sitting in the room, and when Yun Ke led people in, he was drinking alone under the lamp. Compared with the past, Nuoda's Anlehou Mansion looked very spacious and quiet.
"Here we come." Xia Yan seemed to know that Yun Ke would come, raised his eyebrows to look at Yun Ke, and then slowly lowered his eyelids.
"Marquis An Le is in great interest." Yun Ke said lightly.
"Yes." Xia Yan took a deep breath, and he looked at the three spirit tablets placed in the room.
Yun Ke followed his gaze and looked over. At the other end of the table, there are three black wooden tablets, one for Xia Shuangcheng, one for Xia Ying, and one for Mrs. Anlehou.
Mrs. Anlehou also passed away? He didn't know, Yun Ke was a little surprised. No one in the outside world seemed to know that Mrs. Anlehou was no longer alive.
"Madam committed suicide." An Lehou said calmly, then he raised his eyes to look at Yun Ke again, "You forced her to death!"
Yun Ke sneered, "Don't say that your wife's death has nothing to do with this king, even if it does, so what? Your son's evil deeds are too numerous to record, even if he dies a hundred times, it is not enough to eliminate it. As for your daughter How did you die, you should know in your heart, who to blame, who to blame. Take care of yourself, but now that everything you planned has been revealed, you still don’t have to talk nonsense with me here, just let me go into the palace " Xia Ying died at the hands of Concubine De. He had already reminded Xia Yan. Yun Ke wouldn't think that Xia Yan couldn't see it.
"Okay." Xia Yan didn't dodge or evade, and stood up directly, "Benhou will follow you into the palace, and listen to how you, the so-called proud sons of heaven, accuse me!"
Yun Ke ordered people to come in and escort Xia Yan away.
When leaving the Xia Mansion, Yun Ke felt that the Xia Mansion was too quiet and scary? It was as if there was no one there.
Wait until they leave the Xiafu. I heard a loud noise behind me, as if something exploded, and then there were explosions one after another, some were far away, some were near, and the sound seemed to come from Anlehou Mansion Passed out.
After the sound of the explosion, flames soared into the sky suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Unlike the silence just now, the Xia Mansion entrenched in the darkness seemed to come alive in an instant, turning into a large sea of burning flames.
With the sound of the explosion, the flames became one piece, bright red, illuminating half of the sky above the capital.
Under the dark night, orange-red flames licked the blue-black night, and everyone's eyes were filled with bright red flames.
"My lord, Anlehou's mansion is flooded." A guard clasped his fists and asked, "Do you want to put out the fire?"
"Of course we have to save, but it's not us." Yun Ke returned, "Go and inform the Wucheng soldiers and horses to bring people to put out the fire. The fire is too big now, so don't go in. Just stay outside, no matter what People who ran out from inside were all arrested by this king. Oh, by the way, even the people from Wucheng Bingmasi must be checked one by one, lest anyone fish in troubled waters."
"Yes!" The guard ordered, and immediately followed suit.
"It seems that you are determined to die?" Yun Ke looked back at the raging fire behind him and the calm expression on the face of An Lehou who was tied up by five flowers, and said coldly, "Do you think light Is this how to avoid implicating the nine clans?"
"They all died in the sea of flames." Xia Yan said calmly, "Even if His Majesty investigates, what can we find?"
It turned out to be based on this kind of thinking.
Yun Ke understood that Xia Yan hadn't been planning this matter for a day or two, probably after Xia Shuangcheng's death, most of the rest of the Xia family had already left the capital in batches with their family property under his instruction. That's why he felt that Xia Jiajing was terrible when he entered Xia's mansion, because the building was already empty.
Xia Yan burned the empty Xia mansion again, even if he wanted to find out who left and who didn't, it would be difficult to find out.
Those explosions before the flames came on were probably the explosives that Xia Yan had buried in his mansion in advance. He should have made an agreement with other people that once he was taken away, that person would immediately ignite the explosives and set fire to the entire Anlehou Mansion.
If everything he did was not found out, then he would continue to be his Anlehou in peace and plan the next assassination. In fact, his plan was already very detailed, if it wasn't for Gu Yuqi who had a different way of thinking from others, I'm afraid even Yun Ke would be led by him on the road of blaming Yun Qing. Because all the evidence points to Yunqing and the former deposed prince. If you use the method of elimination, it is probably what Yunqing did.
If Yun Ke is taken into the ditch by him, it will become a confrontation between Yun Ke and Yun Qing. Once Yun Qing clears his innocence in the future, he will definitely hold a grudge against Yun Ke. If Yunqing can't clear himself of the crime, then Yunqing is his scapegoat.
It's really a good plan.
What a desperado! The upper hall is full.
Fortunately, Yun Ke used tricks to force Xia Ling out.
"Your Xia family's property is not only in the capital." Yun Ke smiled coldly, "The century-old family is intricately intertwined. Do you really think that everything can be burned with a fire? There are relatives in the capital with your Xia family. people abound.”
"But you can move them? It's not that I underestimate your Yun family! Why do you become emperors and princes? From the beginning of Daqi's founding, you have relied on the support of the aristocratic family. Don't forget, you are the former Guanxi Yun family. It's also from a family, and it's all about success and defeat." Xia Yan looked up at Yun Ke, and laughed arrogantly, "Young man with a yellow mouth! I asked you to kill my child with tricks, and you killed my daughter! You also made my wife commit suicide Death. You and I are as worried as the sea! It’s your luck! Otherwise, you, Gu Yuqi and Yunluo, someone will be killed or injured! I can’t get rid of you this time, but don’t get too complacent, Bai Zu The worm is dead but not stiff, just wait for the next time!"
So poisonous! Yun Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, and had to say that Xia Yan's move was really clever.
He set fire to the Xia family by himself, and it was impossible to find out whether there were any Xia family members who died inside. How can you tell his original appearance from a charred or ashesed corpse? Since then, the Xia family has been scattered all over the place, and their huge family property has also been broken into pieces. In the future, if these people secretly form a rope and try their best to fight against Yun Ke, it will probably cause Yun Ke a lot of trouble, because Yun Ke Ke is in the light, but the Xia family is in the dark.
It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows.
Yun Ke just responded to Xia Yan with a cold smile.
This is where the aristocratic family suffers, because Daqi's royal family relies too much on the power of the aristocratic family, so some aristocratic families have reached the point where they have no way to move.
This is why Yun Ke spent his whole life dealing with the aristocratic family and supporting the poor family.
What he finally handed over to Yunluo was Da Qi who had already weakened the family. The poor family and the family controlled each other, and the family was no longer the dominant one.
When Yun Ke brought Xia Yan into the palace, Prince Abandoned, Concubine Jing, and Yun Qing had all rushed to Concubine De's bedroom, and even His Royal Highness the Empress and Eldest Princess came with Gu Yuqi.
The room is full.
Yun Yi folded his hands and stood at the last place, his eyebrows were drawn in the shadow caused by a veil, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
Xia Ling was still kneeling in the middle, no matter what Emperor Jing asked, he just shut up and refused to say a word, so angry that Emperor Jing's scalp was about to explode.
Hearing someone communicate at the door, everyone turned their eyes to the door.
The door was opened, and Yun Ke walked in with Xia Yan who was tied up.
After Xia Yan entered the hall, he looked around and smiled coldly, "It seems that you are also a family reunion." Then he gritted his teeth and said after laughing, "Why? Why are you in every night when my family is ruined? Shengge? Family banquet? Haha, Your Majesty, how does your family banquet taste?"
Xia Yan has completely disregarded life and death. Before he did such a thing, he had already made up his mind to die.
Where has Emperor Jing seen this before? He has been in power for so many years, and everyone who saw him was shouting at him long and short. No one dared to disobey him. Xia Yan's actions have already touched his rebellious scales, and his attitude now is even more serious. It made him angry, he was already standing on end by Xia Lingqi's hair.
"Are you admitting that you planned everything?" Emperor Jing asked coldly, his teeth itching with hatred.
"Yes." Xia Yan confessed without hesitation.
"It's so daring to a certain extent!" Emperor Jing slapped the table angrily, and stood up, "Come here! Let me execute him in a hurry!"
"Wait." Xia Yan smiled unhurriedly, "I don't know if His Majesty's impatience is bad? Do you need a reminder?"
"What did you say?" Emperor Jing said angrily.
"Your Majesty ordered someone to tear off my clothes and take a look." Xia Yan laughed. "The clothes on Xia Ling's chest were also torn off."
Emperor Jing nodded his head, and immediately a guard came over and tore off the clothes on the two of them. Under their robes, each of them had a golden sign hung with lotus seeds around their necks. Everyone present took a breath and looked at Emperor Jing, "The gold medal for avoiding death!" Even Emperor Jing said tremblingly.
