Chapter 618: Confiscating the Household

After dealing with the Su family's affairs, Chu Hongyi ordered 3,000 imperial guards to go straight to Shangning.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao finished all the aftermath, ensuring that the lives of the people were not affected too much and that those who should be punished were under control. After that, they enjoyed life to the fullest, sleeping together every day, kissing hands, kissing faces, and biting ears.

There was only one step away from crossing the line.

In mid-May, Chu Hongyi led the imperial guards to arrest the Yun family rebels and escorted them back to Beijing for trial.

The whole Shangning became nervous again.

The Yun family, once the largest family in Shangning, was shackled. They were so glorious and prominent that the land would shake when they stomped their feet. Now they have become prisoners in an instant, which is really sad.

All the people of the Yun family were shackled and escorted out, and the Yun residence became an empty house. Xie Jin then found a skilled craftsman - well, Jiuxiao Pavilion has many talented people, and Xuanyuan Yao has seen it again.

A young man of the same age as Xuanyuan Yao, at most in his twenties, looked taciturn, not ugly nor too good-looking, the kind that would not be noticed in the crowd.

However, it was such an ordinary young man who easily opened the destroyed mechanism of the Yun family.

It was simple to say.

A small bag of explosives prepared by himself blew up the stone slab at the entrance. The weight was just right, which would not destroy the road to the secret room, nor cause the collapse of other stone slabs. It was just that the stone slabs were blown out of some jagged gravel, which was a little messier than before.

The stone steps leading to the secret room were led by this man. Every time he walked to a place, he would stop to look at the mechanism button on the wall. Only when he was sure it was safe would he signal Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao to follow.

This road is not unfamiliar to Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, after all, they walked it not long ago, but the mystery of the mechanism lies in its unpredictable changes and dangers at any time. Although Lu Yuan, the master of the Yun family's mechanism, is dead, no one can guarantee whether the mechanism can really remain unchanged.

Sure enough, when passing the six buttons on the wall, the man observed for a while, and the bulge he pressed was different from the one Yun Yi pressed before, but the secret passage opened was the same.

Xuanyuan Yao had never studied the art of mechanism, so he could only express his admiration for this.

The stone door of the secret room was opened, and a foul smell came to the nose, and everyone took a step back at the same time.

After a silence, Xie Jin said: "This is the body of Yun Yi, the current head of the Yun family."

In the secret room in front of him, there was indeed a corpse whose face could no longer be seen lying next to the desk, and the whole body emitted a burst of unpleasant smell.

"Yun Yi has a special identity. According to the rules, he cannot be killed privately. His Majesty should decide." Chu Hongyi said in a light tone, "Mr. Xie should control his impulse in the future."

Xie Jin was about to speak, but heard Chu Hongyi say again: "Unless the situation is urgent and threatens the safety of himself and his companions."

"Unfortunately." Xie Jin raised the corner of his lips slightly, "It is indeed a threat to the safety of this young master and Prince Yao."

Chu Hongyi hummed and said nothing more.

Xie Jin turned the pen wash on the desk, and the bookshelf behind the desk slowly moved away.

The stronger stench made people nauseous.

Chu Hongyi frowned, and the imperial guards also looked unpredictable, and subconsciously began to hold their breath.

The staggering corpse has been here for more than ten days, and it has long been rotten. If you look closely, you can even see some disgusting insects crawling on the corpse.

Xie Jin has mysophobia, and now he really wants to fly away with wings and stay away from this disgusting place.

The imperial guards endured the nausea and carried boxes of gold out of the secret room. Even though they were looking at the wealth that was enough to make anyone's eyes shine, no one cared at this moment. Their faces turned green and they wanted to find a place to vomit.

It was not until they were far away from the secret room that the smell gradually became lighter.

After walking out of the secret passage, the gold was carried to the wide courtyard outside. Boxes of gold were really irresistible.

Dozens of imperial guards hid aside and breathed hard. They almost held their breath in the secret passage. Now they were breathing hard like fish that had been dehydrated for too long and just entered the water.

Chu Hongyi, wearing a deep red slim-fitting robe, stood in front of more than 20 boxes and frowned slightly: "The Yun family's property should be more than this."

Xie Jin said calmly: "According to the Yun family's style, these shameful golds are probably intended to be passed on to future generations."

If the Yun family can really be passed down from generation to generation, in the future, their power will become stronger, they will recruit more soldiers, and buy stronger horses. They may not rebel, but it may not be enough for them to dominate a region and become a vassal king.

"There must be more in the warehouse." Xuanyuan Yao said, "Move all this gold and then go to the warehouse to check."

When confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, of course, you can't just search the secret room, all the valuable things in the house must be confiscated.

Xie Jin smiled faintly: "Let General Chu do the work, we should retire after success."

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Yao and Chu Hongyi turned to look at him at the same time.

"What?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "Am I wrong?"

Chu Hongyi was silent for a moment: "Mr. Xie, please do as you please."

There was indeed nothing else for him to do. The next step was to move all the Yun family's assets out and put them in one place, count and do the accounting. The Yun family was powerful, with many branches, and the accounts were complicated. It would definitely take more than one day to count them all.

The Imperial Guards would rest in the Yun family's house tonight. After all the assets were counted, they could move these things into the car and return to the imperial capital.

"Deputy Commander Yan, arrange for a few people to find an open space in the front yard to set up tents." Chu Hongyi ordered, "The others continue to work and move everything out of the Yun family's warehouse."

"yes!"

"What should the Yun family do?"

Chu Hongyi said: "Lock up in groups of ten. The imperial guards will take turns at night. Don't be careless."

"General Chu, don't worry." Xie Jin said casually, "The soldiers and horses temporarily transferred by Prince Yao from Xiling will continue to stay here to assist the general. They will not return to Xiling until General Chu escorts the prisoners back to Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hongyi turned to look at Xuanyuan Yao and the commander of the Xiling Army in military uniform, and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Qi Xiaoran was courteous and polite: "General Chu, you're welcome. This is what we should do."

Generals have always had only two attitudes when dealing with generals, either dissatisfaction or sympathy. There is no such thing as hypocrisy and compromise among civil servants.

Who knows Chu Hongyi’s famous name Dongling?

Heroines are like thunder piercing their ears.

Qi Xiaoran was naturally polite to her.

The explanation was almost finished here. Xie Jin said goodbye to Xuanyuan Yao and took a step forward, and the man who broke the trap also left.

Returning to his residence, Xuanyuan Yao said: "Are we going back tomorrow?"

"No." Xie Jin shook his head, "We will leave after Chu Hongyi leaves."

Xuanyuan Yao was surprised: "Why?"

"Although there are three thousand members of the Royal Forest Army, we can take care of it in case of an accident." Xie Jin said, "Don't forget that Chu Hongyi not only escorts the prisoners of the Yun family, but also has so much gold and silver property, maybe Someone is tempted to rob someone on the way, so it never hurts to be careful."

Of course, it would be better if the journey was smooth and they could spend a few more days together.

"The Yun family has made such a big fuss. The whole Shangning will be in panic for several months. Who dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head?" Xuanyuan Yao is not worried, "People who are capable of robbery will definitely not dare to come and dare to be stupid. Those people are obviously brainless and should not be feared.”

After all, smart people know that His Majesty and the Regent should not be messed with today. The Shangning Yun clan was destroyed so quickly. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with some Xiaoxiao?

If you want to die with the Yun family, just come.

Xie Jin hummed: "Yao Yao is right, but it's better for us to take care of it from behind to make sure nothing goes wrong."
