Chapter 75: The wind and rain are coming

If Xu Hao’s recent actions were based on the standards of later generations, they were completely part of the page news of the Beijing Gossip Edition, and it would be impossible for the Mu family to hear about it. As Xu Hao became a young army guard and the incident of Fengxue that day, the fate with Mu Ningxue was almost over. This companion read naturally ended in vain.

Xu Hao and Mu Sheng have a very weak relationship. They have a good relationship with Mu Ang for half a year, but the heartless Mu Ang will definitely not take him seriously. As for Mrs. Mu, they met two or three times in total, and they annoyed the others for the last time.

It's all like this, and the Mu family actually sent someone here. Xu Hao couldn't think of who would take himself in his heart except Mu Ningxue?

Is it necessary to study with a military position with a meritorious position? It is necessary but no need to be a companion. This is the answer that individuals know, but there are still people who are thinking about their studies. At this moment, Xu Hao's heart was filled with warmth, so that his cousin Xiao Yuying automatically became a passerby.

The happy Xu Hao was sleeping in a particularly sweet way. He even had a series of beautiful dreams in the early morning. In the dream, he traveled with the beauty in the mountains and rivers. Under the flowers and the moon, he was filled with endless romantic and joy. Suddenly, a roaring white tiger with its eyes suddenly broke out.

The next day, the capital city suddenly changed. Before the excited Xu Hao ran to the Mu family, the thing that was most worried happened.

During the morning court, just when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to worship Lan Yu as a general to fight north of Mobei, a censor wrote a book in the hall, counting in detail that Lan Yu was complacent in recent years, and his adopted son Zhuang Nu relied on his power to be tyrannical. He invaded the civil fields and drove away the censor, instigated the soldiers to break through the pass and whipped the border guards. The Yuan concubine of the previous dynasty had all kinds of bad deeds and acted unlawful. In short, he should not be the commander.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with this and immediately canceled the ceremony. The imperial edict that was originally promoted to Duke of Liang was destroyed on the spot, and the imperial edict was also issued to engrave all these crimes on the iron scroll of the Lan family as a warning.

It's not over yet. Another general, Xu Zengshou, the deputy general, was arrogant and domineering, and arbitrarily dismissed and promoted military officers in the army and acted arbitrarily.

When I was studying with the Eastern Palace, Huang Zicheng, the Minister of Taichang Temple, Gan Lan Yu, was dissatisfied with being named the Prince's Tutor several times, and was unwilling to be under Duke Song and Duke Ying. He once said bluntly that I could not bear the Grand Tutor? Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry at that time that he retreated from the court.

These crimes have been accused in the past, and Lan Yu has been scolded by the emperor. I don’t expect that they will be placed in the court again today. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is a signal when the storm comes.

Xu Hao was anxious. He never expected that the Lan Yu case would break out so quickly. At this time, he didn't care about his children's relationship and repeatedly urged his family to prepare for the job. He wanted to handle the marriage first, and immediately sent someone to the military camp to ask his uncle and Xu Wen to take leave and return home quickly.

But as soon as he saw his family go, he received an urgent military order from the vanguard of the government army, summoning all the guards to report to the yamen at 3:00 a.m.

Xu Hao had no choice but to set off to the capital. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw that the atmosphere in the quiet imperial city was tense, and countless guards filled the streets and alleys.

Xu Hao, who was nervous, went straight to the yamen and was soon dispatched to follow a sword-bearing officer, a total of more than 20 guards along the Imperial Road to the Qianqing Palace and patrol back and forth.

All the colleagues were stern and said nothing. Xu Hao had to hold the Xiuchun Knife under his crotch and walked silently. The atmosphere in the palace was depressing. From time to time, he saw Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits coming and going with a cold face. No one knew what was happening inside and outside the palace. He returned to the yamen to rest after an hour.

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

Although Xu Hao, the companion in the room, was unknown to his name, most of the young people had trained together on the playground. No one cared about the number of sitting times at this time, and they were sitting on the bench thinking about their thoughts.

Suddenly, a fifth-rank official hurriedly walked in outside, followed by two Jinyiwei, looked at the guards sitting on both sides, lowered his head and said to the sword-bearing official: "Duke Liang rebelled and has been arrested and interrogated by the commander of the Jinyiwei. The emperor ordered the young military guard to assist Jinyiwei and seize the Liangyiwei's mansion."

The sword-bearing officer quickly stood up and asked, "Want to send the young army guards? The official is worried that if something goes wrong, he will be trusted by His Majesty."

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

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat and he calmly said: "Report to Shangguan, it's me."

"Are you from the Duke of Wei?" the official asked again with a expressionless face.

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

The official nodded and said, "It's a good example. I hope you don't let down your grace, do your job fairly, and don't be favored."

Xu Hao's eyes immediately turned dark and he said intimately that he was over. I want me to take the lead in seizing my own mansion? Let's dream, I still have this backbone.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Sir, as the Xu family, I will never do anything that would insult my ancestors. I will not attack my own family."

The official immediately sneered: "Is the Lan family of Liang Guogong your own family?"

Xu Hao was stunned and hurriedly said, "No, I mean my relatives surnamed Xu."

"Then why are you talking nonsense, you're confused." The official cursed, and after saying that, he turned his head, "Who is Cao Chun?"

"Sir, I'm the official." The young man opposite Xu Hao shouted excitedly.

Some people who know Cao Chun know that he is also a noble child. It seems that he is like Xu Hao, who is going to be encouraged by Shangguan before leaving. Only Xu Hao made a joke and was full of brilliant face.

The official looked Cao Chun up and down and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes." Cao Chun took a step forward with his chest raised and his head raised. Before he could stand firm, he was suddenly pushed to the ground by the two Jinyiwei who rushed out quickly. The official said sternly: "If you dare to resist and shout, you will be killed without mercy."

Cao Chun was scared silly and did not dare to struggle and let the Jinyiwei tie his hands up. He raised his head and asked in surprise: "Why did you catch me?"

The official still had no expression on his face, "I don't know, but I have been ordered. You can go with us anyway. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster will be found after the Ministry of Justice is interrogated."

When he heard that he was going to the Ministry of Justice rather than the most terrifying Jinyiwei, Cao Chun, who had a wry smile, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and followed the officials with heavy steps.

The sword-bearing officer looked at Xu Hao deeply, sat down slowly, and ordered: "Xu Hao, go outside and guard, you will follow any military order."

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 many guards being carried out by Jinyiwei, staggering towards the direction of the Ministry of Justice Prison. For some reason, Xu Hao understood that these were all children of nobles who were related to Lan Yu, and the Lan Yu case was definitely not a whim on Zhu Yuanzhang, but had been planning for a long time. This was to take the initiative to completely eradicate the obstacles that the future crown prince Zhu Yunwen had boarded the plane without leaving any trouble.

However, in just half an hour, there were as many as tens of thousands of people in the twelve guards, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

After a quick meal, led by the commander of the vanguard of the government army, more than 3,000 guards surrounded the Liang Duke's Mansion. Xu Hao in the team silently looked at the streets that had come to pay their respects a few days ago. At this moment, there was no one, and how grand and lively it was. Every family was closed with the doors, and the colored paper horses and other horses were pushed down and trampled by the guards. The sacrifices on the altar were scattered everywhere, looking like a miserable scene of disaster.

As hundreds of Jinyiwei rushed into the mansion, Xu Hao stopped and turned around, standing in front of the screen wall. He didn't want to witness the next scene with his own eyes.

Since ancient times, the search of homes has been the favorite thing for officers and soldiers. Moreover, this time, there is no minister in the court to supervise, so they can be even more unscrupulous. These guards, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the inside, beating people when they see them, robbing things when they see women, taking advantage when they see women, as if they are releasing their dissatisfaction instead of the emperor.

Soon the huge Liang Duke's Mansion was full of crying. When the commander who had just entered the door walked to Xu Hao with a group of officials, he frowned and said, "Let your brothers restrain themselves. Lan Yu and his wife and children's property and fine materials must be registered and registered, and no one is allowed to rape women."

In this way, the guards took off the Lan Yu family. Many of the guards' sleeves and even boots were filled with gold and silver treasures. Some guards, like Xu Hao, had no money to take.

In fact, there are rules for each industry, and all the money robbed must be handed over. Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, and thieves were allowed, but such a large-scale robbery was absolutely not allowed. The official meant to count the intercepted gold and silver separately, and then report to the emperor, and divide the spoils according to the size of the official position as an after-effect reward.

This time, he received strict orders. The entire Lan Mansion did not allow anyone to be let go, including all three tribes. The crying sounded loudly, and all the males were tied up and locked up in a house, among which Lan Yu's immediate relatives were locked in the inner room.

The women were treated a little better and were driven into a small courtyard. The weather was still very cold in February. Hundreds of women were dressed in messy clothes and filled the entire courtyard with trembling trembling. Lan Yu and her sons' wives and concubines were crying and staying in the house without any reason.

The team where Xu Hao was in was assigned to guard the courtyard. Listening to the crying sounds coming from inside and the constant cry of the baby in the cradle, Xu Hao couldn't bear it and asked a few guards to find some wood, charcoal, some steamed buns, and other food to deliver them.

Seeing this, the sword officer said nothing, but sighed and went elsewhere. As soon as several guards entered, all the women knelt down and begged. The mother even broke her head and her face was bleeding, hoping to send her children to the guards to raise.
