Chapter 68 Mutation 3
Li Xiafu sat steadily in the sedan chair, thinking about something.

Then she noticed that the team that had been moving forward slowly stopped.

"What happened? Don't miss the right moment."

"Second miss, something happened to the queen's side, and the road was temporarily changed, so it was a bit late, so let's stop and wait until they pass by before moving forward."

This is the maid given to her by Li Xiafu's grandmother. She is very good at conditioning women's bodies and making up. This is evident from the Li family's expectations for her.

Li Xiafu gritted her teeth, and calmly said:

"This is what I should do. I should make way for the empress. I just don't know what happened over there? Is the empress safe?"

Naturally, Wang Shu knew that Li Xiafu made way for her, but she was busy discussing with her maid how to cover up the damage of the phoenix crown to the greatest extent so as not to affect the wedding, so she didn't express her gratitude to Li Xiafu.

Anyway, we will always be together in the future, there will always be a chance.

She didn't know that Li Xiafu silently watched her chariot passing in front of her, until the luxurious carriage was completely obscured by the long guard of honor.

Commander Shao, on the other side, was sitting high on his horse, watching his guards reluctantly doing the work of executioners - Pei Rong's princess palace, the fifth prince's palace, and several families who colluded with them...

The first two still had a bit of royal dignity, but they killed the guards in the mansion and the slaves who wanted to resist, and then tied up the master and waited for Pei Wei's fate.

Among them are naturally the young and troubled children, as well as the fifth princess who knows nothing about her husband's actions outside the home. She is still trying to threaten Commander Shao:

"Are you crazy? This is the palace, I am the princess, and today is the emperor's wedding day. Do you want to rebel?"

Commander Shao did not explain anything. How to draw conclusions about the future of these people was the emperor's business. He was only responsible for following orders.

But there are people who cannot take orders without thinking, such as a certain Janissary.

Commander Shao still has some impressions of him, he was sent to be gilded by his father and brother at home.

This person's training is not good, and he can't stand on horseback for half an hour now, but he likes to hang out with friends, drink and listen to music. Commander Shao rarely treats him harshly because of his family background. Invisibly encouraged his courage.

"Commander, it's not good for us to do this. After all, it's a princess's palace or a prince's palace. We haven't even been charged with anything, so we just ransacked the house. This seems disrespectful..."

Commander Shao knocked him down with the back of his sword, looked down at him from above, and looked around at the others——

He knew that similar thoughts were definitely not just for one person. His subordinates had intricate connections behind them, and if they failed to keep them together, they were related to the families that were to be liquidated today.

Especially for the two aristocratic families that are about to be liquidated, if someone is not clear-headed and informs them or lets them go, then he, the commander, will bear the consequences.

"Please remember, this is official business, as evidenced by His Majesty's handwriting. The fact that the charges have not been announced does not mean that they are innocent. No matter what you think in your heart, or what relationship you have with whose family, you have joined the Guards , Everything is based on His Majesty’s wishes. If anyone fails to understand the situation clearly and tries to question or even refute His Majesty’s orders, he will not only be knocked off his horse by the back of a sword.”

He pointed the long knife at the man underground and shouted:
"What are you still doing? Disobeying the military order? Go, you lead someone to search the palace. Be sure not to miss any clues, otherwise you will be dealt with by the same party."

It was the first time for the imperial guard to see Commander Shao treat him so harshly. The man who used to say kindly that he had friendship with his father and brother seemed not to be afraid of his family background for a moment.

The guard was not intelligent enough to figure out the reason, but he still obeyed the order subconsciously, called a few close friends, and quickly ran into the palace to conduct a search.

"Shao Cangman, you reckless man, a pariah, how dare you? How dare you search the palace? Have you forgotten how you flattered our prince when the late emperor was here?"

Commander Shao turned a deaf ear and gave his cronies a wink. After getting the hint, the other party also entered the palace along with the few guards who entered the search, and was the first to enter the study of the fifth prince.

In Pei Rong's Princess Mansion, things seemed to be progressing more smoothly. Pei Rong's son-in-law was not informed of the reason, but they have been married for many years, and he is a man who walks outside all the year round.

It's just that he always thought that Pei Rong could at best give Pei Wei a little trouble or interfere with the choice of concubines.

Never expected that she would be so crazy.

After Pei Rong's son-in-law was escorted out from the main courtyard, he could only smile wryly when he saw Commander Shao and the guards who had already formed a siege around the Princess Mansion:
"It's really hard to marry their Pei family's daughter..."

There is a grandmother of the imperial guard family who is the daughter of Pei's family. According to her seniority, she is Pei Rong's aunt. Although he doesn't understand how cruelly Pei Rong dragged the whole family into the water, he still can't help but sneer:

"I don't know who was greedy for the benefits that the favored princess could bring, and served on the saddle, just to win the favor of Cousin Pei Rong, but now they feel that Pei's daughter is unmarried?"

The prince-in-law didn't argue any more and had to cover his face with his long sleeves. He didn't know whether it was shame or regret.

Commander Shao's handling of these two is fairly civilized, but for the other two, according to Pei Wei's meaning, there is no need to be polite.

Anyone who blocks the way or insults will be killed.

These two families live together in large groups. Although the capital is not their ancestral home and only a few families live there permanently, there are hundreds of people including the master and his subordinates.

The Imperial Army caught them off guard, and before the nursing home could react, their heads were chopped off and rolled onto the bluestone floor, directly shocking most of the people.

Even several nearby companies who secretly sent servants to inquire about the news were frightened and speechless.

They originally wanted to uphold justice and intercede for others. After all, they were all neighbors who lived in the workshop for a long time.

But Shao Cangman's posture, as well as the blood that slowly flowed out of the house into a stream, made them understand that this was more than a simple shock.

This is revenge, it is killing.

It's just that I don't know what kind of mentality the emperor who is waiting for the queen to hold his hand in the hall does such a thing?

On days like this.

The sound of crying and howling resounded throughout the morning of this day, until the sun had completely risen. Only then did Shao Cangman get someone to tie up the old man, the old lady, and many The heads of the houses, who might know the inside story, headed towards a corner of the palace.

Over there is the prison where important prisoners are held.

As for the consort, the princess, and the young masters of the palace, they were placed in another place.
