The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2024

The guards and civil servants of Dali Temple entered the Wang family mansion, and began to seize the Wang family's property and detain the people in the Wang family mansion. Di Renjie personally sat in the Wang family mansion.

Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry moved out of the warehouse were piled up in the yard, and they were checked lightly, recorded in the book, and then sealed.

The account book is to be submitted to the emperor for the purpose, Dali Temple has to keep a copy, and give a copy to the household department, but it is clearly written in the imperial decree that all the property confiscated by the Wang family will be filled into the national treasury.

There were a total of 130 people in the Wang family. After all of them were detained, they all stood in the front yard, which was full of people. Dali Temple was short of staff, so we had to let people from the Jinwu Guard come in to help. Detain them, and judge those who are guilty, and those who are not guilty. Let's talk about it.

Di Renjie wondered in his heart that in the Wang family's mansion, it does not mean that all the 130 people are treacherous and evil people. If it is found out that there is no case, can they be let go?
However, to deal with this matter lightly, it still needs to be approved by Li Chengqian's imperial pen. Di Renjie didn't dare to make his own claims. He just felt a little sympathy for the innocent people among them.

He is an official of Dali Temple, and it is true that he is in charge of the prison, but he is not hard-hearted, and has no human touch at all.

Too many people were involved in this case of the Wang family. If they were to beheaded all of them according to the imperial decree, they would be killed until their heads flowed into rivers of blood. It would definitely become the biggest case in Yonghui's reign.

As a king, you have to think for all the people in the world, and as a minister, you have to think for your father.

Wang Sheng was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and the head of the Wang family was watching over him. Although the two of them were destined to die, at least for now, the two brothers could still support each other.

The servants of the Wang family stood in the courtyard. From the content of the imperial decree just now, they also probably knew their future destiny. Therefore, standing there, everyone was crying.

They are about to die, who is not afraid, they are not the kind of people who can go through big storms, and they are not the kind of people who regard death as home, no one is afraid of death.

"My lord, all the servants of the Wang family have been arrested. There are Jinwu guards watching outside. There is absolutely no one who can escape." Li Xiu walked up to Di Renjie and said, clasping his hands.

"Have you searched every corner of the house? There must be no fish that slip through the net." Di Renjie said.

"I've already searched twice." Li Xiu said, "But it doesn't rule out that there is an underground darkroom in this house, and our people haven't found it yet."

"Keep looking. After today, if something slips through the net, it will be our Dali Temple's dereliction of duty." Di Renjie said.

Don't be afraid of secret passages and dark rooms, but I'm afraid that there are people hiding here, especially people from the Wang family.

"The household registration of the Wang family was transferred from the Ministry of Households. Compare it. Is there any shortage of people in the Wang family?" Di Renjie said: "This is the most important thing."

"Yes." Li Xiu replied.

In a big family like the Wang family, there will never be black households in this world. Therefore, every time a child is born in the family, the household registration will be kept at the household department. As long as the Wang family's household registration is used to check the members of the Wang family, it will be clear at a glance who is missing.

As for the search of the property of the Wang family, it will not be finished in a while. After checking the things in this house, there are also those outside the house, those land title deeds, and those shops and chambers of commerce.

The Wang family in Chang'an City is over, so what about Langya?

There is no escape.

Therefore, on the Wang family side of Chang'an City, no one can escape, so as not to send news to Langya. Bian'er reported the news, even if someone in Chang'an City wanted to communicate with Langya, he had to escape Baiqisi's eyes first.

At this moment of effort, who would risk the disapproval of the world and deliver a letter to the Wang family?
Baiqisi was watching, and Li Chengqian was also watching. He really wanted to see how united these aristocratic families were.

However, someone sent a letter to Langya, this is not what Li Chengqian likes to see.

If there is really only one iron bucket among the aristocratic families, then he should be the one who should have a headache.

Li Xiu went to get the copy of household registration from the Ministry of Households, while Di Renjie went to the backyard, where the statistics of the confiscated properties of the Wang family were being counted.

As for the above people, the charges are only temporary. After the house raid is completed, there may be other things involved, so let's not rush to deal with them for the time being. Even if they are caught, they have to be dealt with today. Before disposing of it, there is still a book for the palace.

When Di Renjie arrived at the back house, he saw a person in the yard.

Someone who has something to do with Hyun Se Kyung.

Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing was sitting in front of the book desk, writing down the account book one by one, while the petty official next to him was counting the belongings carried out, and reporting to Xuan Qing after the counting was completed.

"My lord." After seeing Di Renjie, the small officials in the backyard all bowed and bowed their hands in salute. Xuanqing wanted to stand up, and Di Renjie stretched out his hand and pressed down.

"You don't need to be too polite, just keep working." Di Renjie said: "Everything must be counted clearly, and a list will be recorded in a while and submitted to His Majesty, so everything must be recorded in every detail. Come down, understand?"

"Yes, I understand." All the people in the backyard clapped their hands in agreement.

Xuan Qing continued to lower his head, and started to do his own job.

Originally, Xuanqing was also backed by the aristocratic family. His parents found a way for him to get the official position, and his backer happened to be the Zheng family. If the Zheng family fell, Xuanqing could not stay in the original official position. After staying there, he was transferred to Dali Temple by the Ministry of Household Affairs and became a small official.

From Jinshi to official, from official to petty official, Xuanqing's official career also had ups and downs.

As for after arriving at Dali Temple, the people in Dali Temple also talked about Xuanqing behind their backs, but these rumors could not hurt Xuanqing anymore, anyway, he had heard the same thing too much.

Just let it go.

Di Renjie admired Xuan Qing's attitude, and Di Renjie also knew more or less about Xuan Qing.

They are all members of the Xuan family, they used to be a family, but because of various things, they parted ways.

Two people, with different fates, have different results to this day.

It can be said that one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

Forget about it, let's see how Xuan Qing will fare in Dali Temple in the future.
