Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 434

Xu Hu's sudden outburst frightened Xu Jiujue into a daze.

His behavior of not only snatching the imperial decree but also stepping on the imperial decree is no longer as simple as disrespecting the imperial decree, but an extreme disregard and insult to the imperial power.

Xu Jiujue was almost scared to death. The whole family, young and old, even the whole family would follow him to the end. It was all his fault that he spoiled him too much, which caused today's disaster.

There is no way, for the sake of the whole family, Xu Jiujue knew that he could not hesitate, he had to prove to the family cruelly, and begged the emperor to spare the whole Xu family.

He got up and pulled out the sword on the servant's body, and pierced Xu Hu's heart without hesitation. He was originally a general, so Xu Jiujue's action was clean and neat.

Feeling cold in his heart, Xu Hu hastily looked down and saw that his heart had been pierced by his father with a sword. He stared at his father with wide eyes in disbelief, and then fell down unwillingly.

Seeing Xu Hu's crazy behavior, Cao Zhengchun wanted to kill him with one punch, but he held back. Cao Zhengchun wanted to see Xu Jiujue's performance.

If Xu Jiujue didn't take action on this, Cao Zhengchun would bloodbath the Xu family and behead Wei Guogong's entire family. Xu Jiujue's move seemed cruel, but he saved the entire Xu family.

After Xu Jiujue beheaded his son, he immediately knelt down at Cao Zhengchun's feet:

"The dog was young and ignorant, and he stepped on the imperial decree. Now that the old man has executed him, please forgive my Xu family. Xu Jiujue is willing to bear any punishment."

Cao Zhengchun gave Xu Jiujue a ruthless thumbs-up, thinking that the old guy is ruthless enough, not only to outsiders, but also to his own flesh and blood.

Cao Zhengchun was only acting in his heart, so of course he wouldn't say that kind of thing.

Seeing that Xu Jiujue was very sincere in admitting his mistake, Cao Zhengchun did not pursue it further:

"Xu Jiujue, this matter is very serious. Our family can't make the decision, and we have to ask the Holy Majesty to decide. The life and death of your Xu family is currently in the midst of the Holy Majesty's thoughts. Wait for it to be dealt with."

"Thank you, Eunuch"

After leaving Duke Wei's mansion with Xu Jiujue, Cao Zhengchun went directly to Uncle Xincheng's mansion.

The gate of Uncle Xincheng's mansion was closed, and no one responded after calling several times. Cao Zhengchun was furious, kicked the gate flying with his leg, and then entered Uncle Xincheng's mansion.

"Zhao Zhilong accepts the order"

Cao Zhengchun yelled for a while before Zhao Zhilong rushed over:

"My humble minister Zhao Zhilong accepts the order."

Cao Zhengchun didn't even look him in the eye, and snorted coldly:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhao said: Uncle Xin Cheng, Zhao Zhilong, as a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, not only did not think about the revival of the Ming Dynasty, but also encouraged Duke Wei to suppress and boycott the exchange of dragon coins, which had a serious impact on the reform of the Ming Dynasty..."

The imperial decree is similar to that of Wei Guogong, depriving the title, confiscating the ancestral property and exile with Xu Jiujue. The whole family will be reduced to common people. From then on, Daming will not bear any salary for them.

Zhao Zhilong thinks he is smart, in order to monopolize the Nanjing pawn shop and bank market with the Xu family, and encourage Wei Guogong to openly confront the court, and now he has finally killed both of them.

Zhao Zhilong was regretful, he knew very well in his heart that the Zhao family and the Xu family would not have a future, even if the emperor let them go, those feudal princes would deeply hate them.

It was precisely because of their stupid behavior that the emperor seized the opportunity to cut down the vassals and nobles. In the future, it will be difficult for the two of them to move forward in Daming, and they will no longer have the prestige of the past.

In order to recover a little loss, he will not bow his head and admit his mistake like Xu Jiujue, but will shift all responsibility to Xu Jiujue.

After Cao Zhengchun read the imperial decree, Zhao Zhilong knelt on the ground and refused to accept the decree, but began to deny it:
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. All of this was done by Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue, and I did not participate in any of it. Your Majesty, please check clearly."

Xu Jiujue stood behind the Dongchang factory guard, and heard Zhao Zhilong's words clearly. At that time, he was so angry that he almost fainted. He squeezed out of the crowd and cursed at Zhao Zhilong:
"Zhao Zhilong, you bastard, if you hadn't been planning behind, how could my Xu family have suffered such a tragedy, and now you are still putting all the responsibility on me, it is really shameless."

The more Xu Jiujue talked, the more excited he became. Thinking of his son being beheaded by himself, he almost lost his mind. If Dongchang Fanzi hadn't stopped him, he might have staged a martial arts show with Zhao Zhilong on the spot.

Cao Zhengchun took a cold look at Zhao Zhilong, and found that this guy was indeed more insidious and cunning than Xu Jiujue, he was very disgusted, he raised his leg and kicked Zhao Zhilong.

"Zhao Zhilong, Xichang is well aware of your crimes. You are still stubbornly resisting in front of the iron and steel evidence. How to write the word shameless. If you continue to sophistry and disrespect, our family will punish you on the spot."

Cao Zhengchun's reputation is bigger than Yuhuatian's, and he is definitely a murderer without blinking an eye.

When he came, Zhu Youjian asked him to act cheaply. If he really slapped Zhao Zhilong to death, Zhu Youjian would never blame him.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun's staring eyes, feeling like he was about to kill someone, Zhao Zhilong trembled in fright, but he still refused to accept the order. He thought that as long as he did not plead guilty, the emperor would not be able to kill him.

Cao Zhengchun was furious:
"Since you don't know what to do, don't blame our family for being cruel and merciless. Someone will arrest all the people in Uncle Xincheng's mansion and send them directly to the farm to do coolies. If anyone resists, they will be executed on the spot."

Cao Zhengchun's words almost scared Zhao Zhilong to the ground. He never thought that Cao Zhengchun would dare to arrest their clansmen without an imperial edict. "

"Eunuch Cao, you can't do this, even if you're guilty, it's just me, Zhao Zhilong, and I can't implicate my family. I want to see the emperor..."

Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly:
"Hmph, see the emperor? You have no qualifications at all. I tell you that since you did not plead guilty, the Zhao family has been implicated by you. You are smart but wrong. How can you take away all of them with ironclad evidence?"

Now Zhao Zhilong was completely dumbfounded. He thought that if he didn't plead guilty, he might escape a catastrophe, but now the whole family is imprisoned.

Zhao Zhilong felt that the sky was about to step on him, so he knelt up in front of Cao Zhengchun crying and begging:
"Eunuch Cao, help me, I plead guilty, I plead guilty... I beg you to say a few words in front of the Holy Master and let us go..."

The dignified Uncle Xin begged for mercy with tears and snot in his nose. Not only was he greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't take any responsibility at all, which made Cao Zhengchun even more disgusted.

"Zhao Zhilong, do you regret it now? What a pity! It's too late, act!"

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun didn't give him a chance, Zhao Zhilong rolled his eyes and fainted before he finished his harsh words.

"Cao Zhengchun, you are so cruel..."

Cao Zhengchun didn't look at him at all, and the Dongchang fanzi immediately started to act at the order. These people are masters, not only good at killing and setting fire to spy on intelligence, but also good at arresting people.

The master didn't speak, and the servants didn't dare to resist, but Xincheng Bo's mansion has masters of the rivers and lakes, and they absolutely don't want to be captured by Dongchang, and take up weapons to fight against Dongchang fans.

Although they had little resistance in front of the Dongchang fanzi and were all killed soon, but in this way, Zhao Zhilong was even more accused of disrespecting the order and attempting to rebel.
