Chapter Seventy-Five: The Storm Comes

What Xu Hao has done recently, if it is completely a layout news of the Beijing gossip version according to the standards of later generations, it is impossible not to be heard by the Mu family. And as Xu Hao became a guard of the young army, and there was a chance encounter with the wind and snow that day, the fate between him and Mu Ningxue almost came to an end, and this companion naturally ended without a problem.

Xu Hao's friendship with Mu Sheng is very weak, and the relationship with Mu Ang has been good for half a year, but Mu Ang, who has no heart and no lungs, definitely doesn't take him seriously, as for Mrs. Mu, she has seen two or three times in total, and Zuihou has annoyed people once.

It's all like this, the Mu family even sent someone over, Xu Hao couldn't think of anyone other than Mu Ningxue who would put himself in his heart?

Is it necessary for a military officer with a military rank to study? It is necessary but there is no need to be a companion, this is a person who knows the answer, but there are still people who are concerned about their studies. At this moment, Xu Hao's heart was full of warmth, so much so that his cousin Xiao Yuying automatically became a passerby.

The happy Xu Hao slept very sweetly this night, and even had a series of sweet dreams in the early morning, in which he joined hands with the beautiful woman to play in the mountains and rivers, and under the moon before the flowers, he was indescribably merry and happy, and suddenly broke out of a roaring white tiger.

The next day, the situation in the capital suddenly changed, and before Xu Hao, who was in a hurry, ran to Mu's house, the most worrying thing happened.

In the early dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to worship Lan Yu as the general to conquer Mobei, there was a royal history in the hall to participate in a book, detailing the arrogance and complacency of Lan Yu in recent years, and the tyrannical lawlessness of Yizi Zhuang's slave; Occupy the people's land to drive away the imperial history, connive at the soldiers to break through the customs, whip the border guards, ** the concubines of the previous dynasty, all kinds of bad deeds and lawlessness, in short, you can't be handsome.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with this, and immediately canceled the ceremony, and the holy decree that was originally promoted to the Duke of Liang Guogong was destroyed on the spot, and he ordered that these crimes be engraved on the iron scroll of the Lan family as a warning.

This is not over, and there is also the governor Xu Zengshou Shen Lanyu who is arrogant, domineering, and arbitrarily dismisses and promotes military attaches in the army, acting arbitrarily.

Accompanying the East Palace, Taichang Siqing Huang Zicheng Shen Lanyu was dissatisfied with being named the prince and the prince several times, and was unwilling to be under the Duke of Song and Ying Guogong, and once bluntly said that I am not worthy of the master? Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry at the time, withdrew from the court.

In the past, these charges have been issued, and Lan Yu has been reprimanded by the emperor, and he doesn't want to put them all on the court again today, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a signal when the storm is coming.

Xu Hao was anxious, he never expected the Lanyu case to break out so quickly, at this time, he couldn't take care of his children's personal affairs at all, and urged his family to prepare everything needed for the big hire, and wanted to take the lead in handling the marriage, and immediately sent someone to the barracks to let the uncle and Xu Wen hurry up and return home.

However, as soon as he sent his family away, he received an urgent military order from the vanguard of the government army, summoning all the guards to report to the yamen at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Hao had no choice but to leave for the capital, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw that the atmosphere in the usually quiet imperial city was tense, and countless guards crowded the streets and alleys.

Xu Hao, who was in a worried mood, went to the yamen and was soon dispatched, followed by an officer with a knife, a total of more than 20 guards along the royal road to the front of the Qianqing Palace, patrolling back and forth.

Colleagues all said nothing with a straight face, Xu Hao had to pinch the embroidered spring knife under his crotch and walk silently, the atmosphere in the palace was depressing, and from time to time I saw the brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit coming and going with a cold face, no one knew what was going on inside and outside the palace, and returned to the yamen to rest after an hour.

While resting in the class room, Xu Hao deliberately sat next to the knife officer, hoping to hear some information. The officer with the knife was about thirty years old, and he didn't talk much, just lowered his head and drank tea.

Although Xu Hao, the companion in the house, did not know his name, more than half of the young people had trained together on the playground, and no one cared about the number of sits at this time, they all sat on the bench and thought about their thoughts.

Suddenly, a five-grade official hurriedly walked in, followed by two Jinyi guards, glanced at the guards sitting on both sides, bowed his head and said to the officer with a knife: "Liangguo Gong rebelled, and he has been personally arrested and interrogated by the commander of Jinyi Guard. The saint sent the young military guard to assist the Jinyi guard and seal the Liangguo Mansion. ”

The officer with the knife hurriedly stood up and asked, "You want to send a young guard?" Xia Guan is worried that something will go wrong, and there will be a negative Bixia trust. ”

Xu Hao and his companions stood up one after another, and saw that the official did not answer, but turned to ask loudly: "Who is Xu Hao?" ”

Xu Hao chuckled in his heart, and said calmly and loudly: "Tell Shangguan, it's me." ”

"You belong to the Duke of Wei?" The official asked again with a blank face.

"Yes." Xu Hao's heart was pinched, and his palms were sweating.

The official nodded and said, "It's a talent, I hope you don't live up to the grace of God, act impartially, and don't show favoritism." ”

Xu Hao's eyes immediately darkened, and he secretly said that it was over, this is to ask me to take the lead in seizing my own mansion? Dream on, Lao Tzu still has this backbone.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lord Qiyu, as the son of the Xu family, I will never do anything that insults my ancestors, and I will not do anything to my own family." ”

The official suddenly sneered: "The Lan family of Liangguo Gonglan is your own family? ”

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, I am referring to the relatives surnamed Xu." ”

"Then what nonsense are you talking about, confused." The official opened his mouth and scolded, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head, "Who is Cao Chun?" ”

"Your Excellency, it's a subordinate official." The young man opposite Xu Hao shouted excitedly.

Some people who know Cao Chun know that he is the same as the son of Xungui, and it seems that he is the same as Xu Hao, and he wants to be encouraged by Shangguan before leaving, only Xu Hao made a joke and his face was bright.

The official looked Cao Chun up and down and said, "Take a step forward." ”

"Yes." Cao Chun took a step forward with his head held high, and before he could stand firmly, the two brocade guards who were suddenly rushed out fell to the ground with quick movements, and the official said sharply: "If you dare to resist and shout, there will be no mercy." ”

Cao Chun was stupid, he didn't dare to struggle and let Jinyiwei tie his hands together, raised his head and asked in surprise, "Why did you arrest me?" ”

The official was still expressionless, "I don't know, but I was ordered by the superior, anyway, you can go with us, whether it is a blessing or a curse will have to wait for the interrogation of the Criminal Department to know." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to the Criminal Department instead of going to the most terrifying Jinyi Guard, Cao Chun, who had a wry smile on his face, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the official with heavy steps.

The officer with the knife looked at Xu Hao deeply, sat down slowly, and ordered: "Xu Hao, you go outside to guard, and any military orders will be followed by you." ”

Under the envious gaze of the guards, Xu Hao quickly saluted and strode to the door.

Xu Hao stood at the door, and later saw that there were many guards escorted out by the brocade guards, staggering in the direction of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in despair, others did not know weishenme, but Xu Hao understood that these were all the sons and daughters of the princes of various families who had a relationship with Lan Yu, and the Lan Yu case was by no means a whim of Zhu Yuanzhang, but had been planned for a long time, this was to preemptively remove the obstacles after the future imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen boarded the plane, completely eradicating them, leaving no trace of future troubles.

However, in just half an hour, the entire twelve guards as many as tens of thousands of people were wiped out by the brocade guards who had been prepared for a long time, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

After a hurried meal, under the leadership of the commander of the avant-garde of the government army, more than 3,000 guards surrounded the Liangguo Mansion, and Xu Hao in the team silently looked at the street where he came to mourn a few days ago. At this moment, it was empty, and how grand and lively it was, the doors of the houses were closed, the colored sheds and paper horses were pushed down and trampled by the guards, and the sacrifices on the table were scattered everywhere, a miserable scene of great calamity.

As hundreds of brocade guards rushed into the mansion gate, Xu Hao stopped and turned around, just standing in front of the shadow wall, he didn't want to witness the next scene with his own eyes.

Raiding homes has been the favorite thing for officers and soldiers to do since ancient times, not to mention that this time there is no minister of the DPRK and China to supervise, and it can be even more unscrupulous. These wolf-like guards rushed inside like a swarm, beating people when they saw them, robbing things when they saw them, and taking advantage of women when they saw them, as if they were venting their dissatisfaction on behalf of the emperor.

Soon, the huge Liangguo Mansion was full of crying and shouting, and when the commander who had just entered the door walked to Xu Hao's side with a group of officials, he frowned and said: "Let the brothers be more restrained, the property and finesse of Lan Yu and his wife and children must be registered, and no one is allowed to rape women." ”

That's it, the guards copied the bottom of the blue jade family, many guards stuffed their sleeves and even boots with gold and silver treasures, and some guards were like Xu Hao, who didn't take a penny.

In fact, every line has rules for which line, and all the money and property stolen must be handed over, Zhu Yuanzhang is in power, petty theft is okay, and such a large-scale robbery is absolutely not allowed. The official meant to count the gold and silver that had been intercepted separately and report it to the emperor as a reward afterwards according to the size of the official position.

This time, it was strictly ordered, and the entire Blue Mansion was not allowed to let anyone go, including all the people sent by the three clans. The crying shook the sky, and all the men were tied up and locked up in a house, with Lan Yu's immediate family alone in the room.

The ladies were treated a little better, and were herded into a small courtyard, where it was still very cold in February, hundreds of women were disheveled and shivering, and Lan Yu and the wives and concubines of her sons were crying and staying in the house.

Xu Hao's team was assigned to guard the small courtyard, listening to the cries coming from inside and the constant crying of the baby in the swaddling clothes, Xu Hao couldn't bear it, and asked a few guards to find some wood, charcoal, some steamed bread and other food to send in.

Seeing this, the officer with the knife didn't say anything, but sighed and went elsewhere. As soon as the guards entered, all the women knelt down and begged, and the mother even broke her head and bled profusely, begging only to give her child to the guards to be raised.

The crime of treason is heinous, and everyone knows what will happen next, even if the child does not die, he will be relegated to Lehu slavery with his biological mother in the future, and he will not be able to turn over for generations.
