Chapter 3: Confiscation and Exile
"Marquis Cheng'en is King Xi's maternal wife. The three girls are married to her. From now on, she and King Xi's concubine will support each other and help their parents and brothers. What are you dissatisfied with?"

The old lady is full of coercion, and the mistress of the house is full of momentum, and there is no room for resistance.

Jiang Shuang didn't dare to refute, and said solemnly: "Yes, everything will be arranged by mother."

"Thank you? Didn't you sell me to a merchant? Have you become a powerful person again?"

Xie Yanyan sat without moving, raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Dare I ask this nanny, do the emperor and the empress know about the marriage order?"

The old mama felt a chill in her heart and said forcefully: "Of course I know."

"Oh, the imperial concubine can be granted a marriage! I wonder when King Xi will send the 300,000 taels of silver redeemed for the treasure to the Hou Mansion? The eldest lady and I have invested in our lifetime happiness, and we don't want to lose both our lives and wealth. "

When these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

The old lady shouted angrily: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Madam Jiang, is this the noble daughter of the Marquis who was taught by the second room?"

Jiang Shuang hurriedly grabbed Xie Yanyan and said, "Is the imperial concubine still asking you to comment on what she is doing? Don't talk nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense? All marriages between princes are granted by the emperor, aren't they?
Before the eldest lady came in, King Xi was asked to give out 300,000 taels of silver to cover the gambling debts of the Hou Mansion. I'm afraid that if the emperor pursues the case, King Xi and the imperial concubine will be punished for this, and the Hou family will be deprived of people and money. "

Xie Yanyan has a childish face, but his words are to the point.

In desperation, the old lady blurted out: "Who said Prince Xi's Mansion is going to give out 300,000 taels of silver?"

"Oh, is it possible that King Xi and the Imperial Concubine want to seize the treasure by force? My God, they don't want to kill the pawnshop owner and seize the treasure, right?" Xie Yanyan said in surprise, "In this case, the Imperial Concubine cannot even keep her position. Alright?"

The old lady's head was filled with veins, and she wished she could kill Xie Yanyan with one palm.

Xie Yanyan's eyes were cold and his words were sharp, even the emperor was moved out. The old woman was a good person and she didn't dare to talk nonsense about Tian's family affairs.

He smiled sinisterly and said: "The third lady is right. I will go back to the palace to report to the empress first, and then make a decision."

Ignoring the old lady's plea to stay, he turned around and left the Hou Mansion.

The old lady slapped the table and cursed: "Third girl, don't think I don't know what you are thinking in your mind. Prince Cheng'en, you have to marry whether you want to marry or not."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see." Xie Yanyan didn't even bother to make excuses, stood up and walked out.

The old lady lost control and threw a tea cup.

[Bitch, ask Chengenhou Mansion to carry you away tomorrow. Even if you follow a fool, you are still a concubine]

Ah!
Xie Yanyan looked at the Hou Mansion calmly and walked slowly along the path under the moonlight.

When we were in Ci'enyuan, there was someone secretly watching.

At this time, this person was complaining in the dark.

[Shit Hou Mansion, use General Xie’s legitimate daughter to block the holes in the main room]

[I wanted to use the general’s power to pave the way for King Xi, and also sold the general’s legitimate daughter to merchants and fools as concubines]

[The number one talented girl is so calculating]

[Xie Anhuai might as well kill him]

Xie Yanyan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips.

This is definitely not from the Hou Mansion.

Hero? Spy?
Xie Yanyan walked slowly, but kept pace. The warehouse, study, and kitchen of Wuyi Hou Mansion were all within the scanning and transfer range.

Antiques on the ancient shelves, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry calligraphy and paintings in camphor wood boxes, clothing and cloth, clothes and shoes, ginseng and cordyceps...

Received!

There is actually a hidden compartment in the study room of the Marquis Xie Jinrong.

Account books and letters, collected!

The rice, flour, grains, oils, bird's nests, and meats and vegetables stored in the kitchen pantry have been collected!

Returning to his yard, Xie Yong looked at her with a faint look on her face and asked, "Where's mother? Didn't you come back together?"

"Huangfu Ming has no money, and the old lady wants to marry me to Prince Chengen, but I don't want to. The old lady is angry, and my mother is comforting her."

Thanks for your courage, you have to take a knife to the Ci Enyuan to kill people.

Xie Yanyan stopped him: "Don't be reckless. You will only suffer big losses if you do this. I have my own way to cure them. Second brother, you have to do me a favor."

The next day, the rooster crows for the fourth time.

The servants in the mansion had already gotten up and were busy. Xie Yanyan and Xie Yong got up and went to the stables to take the horses and quietly left through the back corner door.

"Sister, are you good at riding?" "Okay."

Xie Yong led the way, followed by Xie Yanyan.

There were not many pedestrians on the road at dawn, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the stone road was clear and clear.

Xie Yong stopped his horse in a street, pointed his riding whip at the large courtyard with white walls and blue tiles, and whispered: "This is the Chengenhou Mansion, the ancestral home of King Xi."

The house is in a very good location, with a black painted door and feng shui stone drums on both sides of the door.

The brother and sister rode horses and circled around Chengenhou Mansion. Xie Yanyan said to Xie Yong, "Okay, next place."

The sound of horse hooves rang again, and they came to the carriage road on the west bank of Moon Lake.

On the east bank of the sparkling Moon Lake is the residence of the second prince, Prince Xi. The palace's pavilions and pavilions are of unparalleled wealth and splendor to the Wuyi Marquis's residence.

The palace is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach within 50 meters of the palace.

Xie Yanyan and Xie Yong continued to ride horses and circled around Prince Xi's Mansion seemingly unintentionally. The two of them tacitly agreed not to glance at the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

Then, Xie Yanyan said to Xie Yong: "Let's go have breakfast."

Xie Yong looked at his sister and was confused. He still doesn't know what kind of medicine his sister is selling in the gourd.

The brother and sister rode horses to a restaurant on the street, ordered steamed buns and hot wontons, and headed home after eating and drinking.

Shortly after dawn, the streets were filled with the sound of horse hooves, noise, dust, and a commotion on the streets.

The city gates were closed urgently, and the government officials from Dali Temple came out in full force. All transportation teams, horse-drawn carriages, and donkey carts were strictly inspected.

The streets were once again in panic and chaos.

"What happened?"

"Have you heard? The Chengenhou Mansion and Prince Xi Mansion were stolen!"

"The warehouse was emptied, and even the firewood, rice, oil, salt and prepared breakfast in the kitchen were gone."

"I heard that in Prince Xi's mansion, even the quilt that Prince Xi slept on and the clothes in the cabinet were gone. The beads on his shoes were all picked out."

"Pfft~" The tea patron in the teahouse almost choked.

"If a thief doesn't get away with anything, this thief probably hasn't done anything in three lifetimes."

If you don't open it for three lifetimes, if you open it, you will eat it for three lifetimes.

Today is destined to be an unusual day.

The usually peaceful court hall was hit by a major earthquake today.

The Ministry of Punishments reported: Huangfu's Mansion, Prince Xi's Mansion, and Chengenhou's Mansion were stolen, causing heavy losses. Since the founding of Da Qin, we have never seen such a frenzied theft.

Everyone is in danger for a while.

Then, the Yanguan came out to impeach Wuyi Marquis Xie Jinrong, who formed a clique for personal gain, embezzled money for disaster relief, and angrily accused him of being lax in running the family and harboring filth.

In order to pay off Xie Anhuai's gambling debt, Mrs. Hou actually sold her second wife's granddaughter for 30 silver taels.

Submit account books and letters as supporting evidence.

The emperor was so angry that his eyesight turned black.

At three o'clock in the morning, the Wuyi Hou Mansion was surrounded by embroidered guards who looked like wolves and tigers.

The emperor ordered that the marquis Xie Jinrong and the prince Xie Anhuai be beaten 50 times, life or death.

The two were beaten to a bloody pulp and were dying, so they were taken back to the Hou Mansion.

Also returning home was Xie Anfeng.

All the legitimate children of each house were called back to the Hou Mansion.

Xiuyiwei ordered everyone in the Hou Mansion to gather in the front yard immediately to receive the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The prince of Wuyihou Xie Anhuai deceived the emperor and pawned a sacred object given by the emperor, and he will be punished for the crime of gross disrespect.

Xie Jinrong, Marquis of Wuyi, had a plain meal in his corpse position, corrupted the official discipline, corrupted the law and corrupted the law. I was pained to the core and couldn't calm down my anger. I cut off my title and punished him for the crime of corruption.

I can't bear to be tortured and killed, so I specially grant him immunity from death, and he will be exiled to a distant place even if he is a member of the family.

All the property in the mansion was put into the national treasury, and the order was given to set off immediately. Admire this! "

 Please give me a five-star thank you
