The doctor of the Ministry of Justice snorted and explained to Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was almost scared to death by the words of the Ministry of Justice doctor.
Two streams of tears flowed out unconsciously.
"You dare to capture me? Do you know that my uncle is the military governor of the capital camp and that my family is a family friend of the Rong Mansion?
Aren't you afraid?"
Xue Pan, who had been caught, did not understand the seriousness of the matter at this moment. He kept struggling and roaring.
They even started to threaten the Ministry of Justice in the name of the Wang family and Rong Mansion.
He didn't care about the emperor's imperial edict at all.
"Bastard, shut up."
Hearing Xue Pan's words, Aunt Xue angrily roared at Xue Pan.
Even though she doted on Xue Pan, she knew what he meant.
He had come with the emperor's imperial edict, and these words were clearly contemptuous of the emperor.
He even brought the Wang family and Rong Mansion into the water.
Even Aunt Xue knew that such brainless words were treasonous.
Only Xue Pan continued to do as he pleased.
"Humph, the ones who investigated the corruption case in the Internal Affairs Department were the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jia Lian, and the Minister of Revenue, Liu Wen.
Xue Pan, I will report what you said today to the Sage. How the Sage will deal with you will depend on His Majesty's imperial edict.”
"Also, I would like to advise you that the Rong Mansion is now in the hands of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jia Lian. Jia Zheng's house is considered to be in the Rong Mansion.”
"I heard that Lord Jia Zheng's family allowed his servants to take more than one million taels of silver from the Rong Mansion.
As for this matter, not even Lady Yuan Fei in the palace and Lord Wang, the capital military governor, could say anything.”
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice sneered at Xue Pan coldly and then crushed Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's last straw of hope.
Of course, this was mainly for Xue Pan.
"Sir, please tell me who did the corruption case in the Internal Affairs Bureau?”
Xue Baochai took a deep breath and asked the Board of Punishments.
She suspected that the Xue family's steward in the capital had done such a thing behind their backs.
However, he still had to confirm this matter.
"It was your Xue family."
With such evidence, the Ministry of Justice doctor was stunned by Xue Baochai's question, and then he replied to Xue Baochai in a bad mood.
In his eyes, the Xue family's corruption was instructed by the masters of the Xue family.
Now, he was trying to get information from him and push the blame to the steward to clear his name.
Therefore, when he said this, the face of the Minister of Justice turned even colder, and his impression of the Xue family was greatly reduced.
…
"Come on! Other than the master of the Duke's Public House, everyone else, regardless of gender or age, would be killed without mercy.
First-class uncle Niu Jizong dared to assassinate a saint and commit a heinous crime. The saint was furious and ordered Niu Jizong's nine families to be killed.”
"Today, I would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let a single person from Niu Jizong's nine clans go.”
At the same time, Jia Lian led three thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army to surround the Defender Duke's Public House. There were also many soldiers of the capital's main camp who were continuously capturing Niu Jizong and his family.
Niu Jizong's hometown also sent people over.
Jia Lian stood in front of the Duke's Mansion and gave a loud order. Then, countless imperial soldiers dressed in red armor drew their swords from their waists and rushed into the Duke's Mansion in several rows.
After entering the Duke's estate, he killed everyone in sight without saying a word, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, or even guests who came to the Duke's estate.
"Ah! Spare me!"
"Help! Don't kill me!"
"No, no!"
"Sob, sob, sob. What exactly happened?”
"Help, help!"
The Imperial Army expressionlessly pursued, and none of the servants could survive a second slash.
The entire Duke Zhenguo's Public House was filled with wails and screams.
…
"What happened? What exactly happened…"
In the back of the residence, as the screams and cries for mercy got closer and closer, the masters of the Duke's estate were also afraid and sent people to inquire.
Niu Jizong's expression turned extremely ugly.
As a general leading an army, he was very familiar with this voice.
No one who could lead troops into the Duke's estate in the capital dared to do so. Only the Emperor could do so.
And it was a heinous crime to be able to make an imperial edict to lead troops into the Duke's estate.
He didn't understand what mistake he had made. In his opinion, even if he had committed a major mistake, it would at most be the crime of exiling his family.
He would not have led his troops into the Duke's estate and started a massacre.
Even if he was to execute all nine clans, he wouldn't have led his troops to his residence to kill wantonly.
"Old Master, there are many Imperial Army soldiers outside surrounding the Duke's estate. Moreover…Moreover, they did not say anything and killed anyone they saw without letting them off.”
A servant ran in with a face full of fear and knelt before Niu Jizong as he reported with a trembling face.
Niu Jizong was dumbfounded when he heard the words 'Imperial Army'. Then, he lost all his strength and the last hope in his heart.
He sat down on the chair.
His face was pale and his mind was blank.
"It's over, it's over! What did I do wrong!"
Niu Jizong muttered to himself in confusion. The huge Duke Zhenguo's Public House was finished just like that.
Up until now, he did not even know what kind of grave crime he had committed.
It actually made the Emperor so heartless.
As for Jia Lian, he didn't even think about it, because in his eyes, he was just hiring someone to kill Jia Lian, not the Emperor.
"Help!"
"Master, Master, save me!"
"Father, father saved me. They caught me.”
"What exactly happened?”
"Master, what's going on?”
Niu Jizong seemed to have aged by twenty years. When his hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, he heard the cries of his wife, aunt, and children outside.
"Ah ~"
"What exactly happened?
Saint, my Duke Zhenguo's Public House has been loyal for generations. Why are you like this?”
Niu Jizong roared as he slid down from his chair and knelt on the ground. He could no longer hold back the tears that fell from his eyes.
She could not help but wail.
Originally, he was still waiting for the good news of Jia Lian's death, but now…
Now, the news of Jia Lian's death hadn't come, but this was the result.
"Yo, yo, yo, isn't this First Uncle Niu, Lord Niu Jizong? Why is half of his black hair from today's morning court session now all white!”
Just as Niu Jizong was kneeling on the ground in a daze, Jia Lian walked in with a dozen or so imperial guards.
He looked at Niu Jizong who was kneeling on the ground and teased him happily.
He thought to himself,'I'm fine now that you've sent someone to kill me. Not only did you throw yourself and the huge Duke's estate into this, but you've also thrown your own family into this mess.'
"Jia Lian…it must be you who slandered me in front of the Saint. You damned beast, I have no enmity with you, why did you harm me like this?”
Niu Jizong watched as Jia Lian brought the imperial guards in…
